Chapter 81 Su Dalin brings a large sum of money to apologize!
Su Yunhai led his family quickly ahead, with the Su family and Zhang family gritting their teeth and following closely behind, while the other villagers were left far behind.
Fortunately, the locusts will not stay here for long and will soon pass by, so even if the villagers fall behind, they will not be in danger.
It took two full hours for the locusts to completely leave.
This shows just how terrifying the locust army is!
Su Yunhai chose a shady spot for everyone to rest and wait for the villagers who were lagging behind.
Su Dalin mustered up his courage and went to find Su Yunhai.
"Second Brother, can I talk to you about something?" Su Dalin looked at Su Yunhai with a pleading expression.
Su Yunhai was quite disappointed in his third brother.
When he left the village, he lent two mule carts to his third brother.
They also gave us quite a bit of meat.
As a result, the third brother did nothing to help when the barbarian spies appeared.
Not only did they take away the two snail carts he had given them, but they also watched helplessly as his parents stole a cartload of his supplies and ran away with them.
This was a betrayal for Su Yunhai.
A betrayal from a loved one.
Not only that.
After the two families reunited, the third brother did not immediately step forward to express his opinion or apologize, and did not even dare to say a word to him.
How could Su Yunhai not feel heartbroken?
"Speak quickly if you have something to say," Su Yunhai said impatiently.
Su Dalin knew he had hurt his second brother's feelings, but he still shamelessly tried to explain.
"Second brother, I was wrong. It was my parents who forced me to go with them. They said if I didn't go, they would take away the supplies from my two carts."
“I have no choice but to go with them, otherwise if our family loses food, we will have to ask you, my second brother, to help our family of four.”
"Second brother, you've helped me so much, I can't keep relying on you forever. I have to go with our parents, at least they have to take care of our family's food and drink."
"Also, my parents and older brother originally wanted to take all your cars with them. I begged them on my knees, and they reluctantly agreed to take only one."
"I'm not saying this to take credit, nor to shift the blame onto my parents. I know it's my fault for being too soft-hearted and unable to refuse them, and for letting down my second brother who has been so good to me."
Su Dashan explained dejectedly, then, as if remembering something, he pulled a dark, black bag from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into Su Yunhai's clothes.
"Second brother, last night when the refugees were looting, I took advantage of the chaos to steal their silver from eldest brother. I'm giving this to you in the hope that it will compensate for your loss."
Su Yunhai watched his third brother explain with a blank expression, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Regardless of what the third brother was thinking at the time, he did feel better after hearing his explanation.
He felt that the silver in his arms was quite heavy, estimating it to be more than two hundred taels of silver.
It seems that the third brother only dared to apologize to me because he received this money.
Su Yunhai patted his third brother on the shoulder, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes.
Looking at it this way, the third brother is quite cunning.
Since that's the case, let him go further and further down this dark path.
"Alright, for the sake of the money, I forgive you." Su Yunhai called out to Shen Yuehua and said with a smile, "Wife, get a bucket of water for the third son."
Su Dalin never expected his second brother to forgive him so easily!
And you also need to give him a bucket of water!
He knew his second brother's personality all too well; he was definitely not someone who could be bought off with money.
But his second brother did indeed give him a bucket of water!
Su Dalin was so moved that his eyes turned red!
"Waaaaah, Second Brother, you really are my dear Second Brother! Waaaaah, I will never do anything to betray you again, and I will give all my money to you from now on." Su Dalin was so moved that he immediately pledged his loyalty.
Su Yunhai neither confirmed nor denied these remarks, simply taking them with a grain of salt.
Old Man Su, Old Woman Su, and Su Dashan never expected that their third son would be able to get such a large bucket of water from their second son.
They all looked at the third brother with fawning eyes.
"Third son, you're really something! You managed to get so much water from that unfilial second son. Quickly, give it to your mother. I'll cook porridge for everyone, so I need to plan carefully." Old Mrs. Su was overjoyed and reached out to snatch the water bucket from Su Dalin's hand.
Knowing he couldn't keep the water, Su Dalin quickly said, "Mother, I begged my second brother for this water after saying many nice things. You have to leave some for your son to drink!"
Grandma Su was in a good mood and generously said, "Alright, you deserve the most credit today. You go first to fetch the water, and then give it to your mother when you're done."
Su Dalin quickly carried the bucket to his luggage and asked Lin Xiuxiu to take out all the water bags and fill them with water.
The bucket was only two-thirds full.
But that's enough for the eighteen members of the Su family to have a good drink of water.
Not long after.
The people from Peach Blossom Village arrived one after another.
Seeing the Su and Zhang families waiting by the roadside, the villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But everyone's face was clouded with worry.
Last night, their food was looted by refugees. Although the loss was not significant, they were still very distressed by any loss.
The locusts were relentlessly devouring their grain sacks again, leaving the sacks riddled with holes.
The locusts also polluted a lot of the water.
Even the exposed skin of several people had bloody bite marks from locusts.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred in the latter half of the day.
In order to reach Qingzhou City today, everyone held their breath and rushed on their way.
at last.
The main force arrived at the gates of Qingzhou at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).
Even though it was the height of summer, it was still bright outside at 7 PM.
There were many people queuing up to enter the city at the city gate.
Looking around, there were at least several thousand people crowded outside the city gate, the queue was not moving at all, and there was no progress whatsoever.
These people were all dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, probably refugees who had fled famine from various places.
If we wait at this pace, it will probably be tomorrow.
Su Yunhai was anxious, so he asked Zhang Shiwen to lead the line while he went to check what was going on.
Naturally, I had to bring my beloved daughter, Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli hadn't expected that so many refugees would gather in Qingzhou.
If she couldn't get into the city, there was a high probability of uncontrollable consequences, and she wanted to get into the city as soon as possible.
Fortunately, although there were many people, they dared not cause trouble at the city gate.
Everyone was queuing up neatly, with gaps in the middle to allow people to pass through.
To Shen Shuli's surprise...
There were more than 20 soldiers guarding the city gate, half of whom were responsible for maintaining order among the queuing refugees.
Shen Shuli walked up to the soldiers directing the line, her face showing an innocent and pure smile as she inquired about the situation.
This face is still very young, as delicate as a limited edition porcelain doll in a cabinet, and most people probably wouldn't find it repulsive.
Coupled with her youthful and innocent smile, it's probably even more irresistible to her adorable charm.
"Officer, may I ask you a question?" Shen Shuli asked.
The officers and soldiers were surprised to see such a unique face in the crowd.
All the people's faces were dark and yellow, and their faces were greasy and dirty.
Only this little girl had a clean, fair face that seemed to glow, like a virgin who had just descended from heaven.
The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment.
"Cough cough..."
Su Yunhai felt that the soldiers were staring straight at his daughter, and that look was very offensive.
He couldn't help but cough lightly to remind him.
