Only the village chief and Su Yu knew what they said at the village chief's house that day. After Su Yu left, the village chief also followed him out. First, he went around the fields to give the villagers a heads up. He planned to visit various houses in the evening, but fortunately there were not many houses in the village, so it wouldn't take much effort on his part.
The village chief has seen a lot in his old age, and he doesn't think that Mr. Su's family is that kind of people. It's just his father, mother, and eldest brother who are not good people. That's why Miss Su gave such an order, and he obeyed it. that is.
After Su Yu left the village chief's house, she didn't go home and went directly to the workshop. Her mother sent people to the workshop early in the morning, so now there is only her father at home, and there is nothing that can be done about it. There must be someone at home watching over everything.
There were quite a few houses in the row of houses built in the Su family's backyard, eight in total. Two houses were badly damaged last night, so Mr. Su's family replaced them with two more.
Su Chen did not leave the house after changing the house. Instead, he hid in the house and read a book. No one in the old house went out except Ji. Fan left his youngest son to his eldest son to take care of him. After Su Shen looked at it, he started walking around the house. After walking around for a while, he found a small door on the courtyard wall.
Because the small door was locked when people from the old house came, when I went to the workshop today, I used the door on the other side instead of the small door.
Mrs. Fan looked at the lock on the door thoughtfully. She happened to see Mrs. Wu passing by and stopped her.
"Hey, come here."
Mrs. Fan has just arrived, and she still doesn’t know what Mrs. Wu’s name is, but she doesn’t care too much about a servant’s name, Mrs. Fan.
Mrs. Wu came over and gave a blessing to Mrs. Fan.
"Third Madam."
"You open this door, I want to go through."
Wu lowered her eyebrows and looked respectful.
"Replying to the third lady, I don't have the key to this small door. The key is in the girl's hand."
"Then you go and get the key from your girl to open the door."
"The girl went out early in the morning. I don't know when the girl will come back. When I see her, I will tell the girl about it. If the third lady is okay, I will go down and get busy."
Seeing that Wu didn't have the key, Fan waved her hand and let people go.
After thinking for a while, he went back to the house. Su Laosan was lying in the house after eating. He was tired from traveling some time ago.
"Master, get up quickly."
"Oh, don't bother me. I'll sleep a little longer."
"Master, I found a small door with a lock on it. Can you move a ladder up to the wall and see what's going on outside?"
After hearing this, Su Laosan lost his drowsiness and followed Fan to the small door. Seeing that the door was indeed locked, he went to find a ladder and put it on the wall and climbed up.
When they came to Jinjia Village yesterday, they saw a large area connected with each other, separated only by a courtyard wall. Without thinking, they could guess that this belonged to the second family. What was it used for until now? Don't know yet.
Su Laosan went up to the wall and saw rows of houses built underneath. He couldn't see clearly what the houses in the distance were for, and some were still smoking. However, the row of houses near the wall were filled with smoke. is empty.
This small door used to be next to the bacon workshop. Now the Tianre bacon workshop has been closed and will not reopen until after October this year. All the women who used to work in the bacon workshop now go to the rouge workshop to help. So there is no one here for now.
"Master, have you seen what is going on outside?"
Su Laosan got down from the wall.
"There are rows of houses built outside, but there is no one there and I don't know what they are for. However, I can see smoke coming from the chimneys in the distance. There should be someone there. If you have a key to open it, you will know."
"Why don't we find an ax and break this lock, and go over and have a look."
Su Laosan didn't think there was anything wrong with Fan's words.
"Okay, I'll go look for it."
Soon Su Laosan found an ax from the woodshed and chopped the lock open in a few strokes.
On the surface, Su Dasu Lu was recuperating in the house, but in fact he was hiding in the dark and monitoring the old house. When he saw something was wrong, he reported it to Butler You.
"Butler You, what should we do now?"
"Go over to the workshop and find two people watching the workshop. Ask them to guard the door. When they come over, look after them and say hello. Just don't beat them up."
Su Lu chuckled twice.
"Okay, I'll go find someone right now."
Su Lu left in a hurry and quickly found two guards at the workshop to tell Butler You what he had said.
"Guard Lu, who are we fighting?"
"It's just my distant relatives who are here to play in the autumn wind. It's okay. Just do as I say. If something happens, the housekeeper will take care of you."
The two men didn't quite believe Su Lu's claim that he was carrying it for them. They believed it when he said that Butler You was carrying it for them.
Su Lu moved quickly. After the explanation was completed, the couple opened the small door and walked in.
Within a few steps, two big men rushed out from the side, holding sticks in their hands and saying hello. The two of them were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen before they could even call for help.
One of them picked up Su Laosan by his collar and lifted him up from the ground.
"Boy, you didn't come to this place. Next time, it won't be as simple as a beating. You can just cut off the tendons of your hands and feet and throw them into the river to feed the fish."
These two people were specially selected by Su Lu. They had ferocious faces. When their ferocious looks were revealed, the couple shivered in fear.
Su Laosan had never seen this formation before, and he was so scared that he peed when he heard this.
"No... I don't dare to do it anymore. I will definitely not do it next time."
The strong man threw Su Laosan back to the door, and the other one picked up Fan and threw him back. Then the small door slammed shut, and then the sound of locking came from the other side.
The two of them were beaten so severely this time that they couldn't get up for a while. Butler You, who was passing by, saw the situation here and walked over immediately.
"Third Master, Third Madam, what's wrong with you? Why were you beaten like this?"
"Butler, where is the other side?"
"Third Master, Third Madam, didn't you pry the door open and go over there?"
Neither of them spoke, but Butler You pretended to be surprised and patted his thigh.
"Oh, I must have forgotten to tell you that you are not allowed to go there. The people who patrol the workshops inside are all from the other side. Only the master and his family can go here. We servants can't go there. The people on the other side probably treat you as the new servants in the family, so they beat you like this."
Although the people from the Su family brought clothes with them when they came, the clothes were incomparable to those of Su Laoer's family, and they were also incomparable to the servants in the family. But last night, Su Yu said that people would go to the city to buy ready-made clothes today. , the people in the old house can only wear their own clothes first, but no, they look worse than the servants in the family.
