Chapter 190 Regret
the next day.
Su Li plans to go to the town to buy some lard, and sell her perfume by the way.
Before going out, Su Li explained to He Qingyao and He Qingmu: "Be good at home!"
He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded obediently: "Mother, don't worry, we will wait for you obediently at home."
Yao Laizi didn't go back to Sujia Village last night. It doesn't matter where he lives, so he might as well choose a place that he finds interesting.
Seeing that he was unwilling to go back, Su Li arranged for him to make building blocks. It is impossible for her to eat and drink for free, and if he doesn't work, he will be kicked out.
Yao Laizi was in awe of Su Li. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still worked honestly, but kept working secretly in places where Su Li could not see.
Su Li sees it through and doesn't say it. Yao Laizi is used to being lazy. Now it is impossible to make him work hard, so he has to take his time.
At this moment, Yao Laizi heard Su Li and He Qingyao brothers talking, so he pricked up his ears and listened. When he heard that Su Li was about to go out, he put down his things and walked towards Su Li.
"Boss, are you going out?"
Su Li glanced at him: "What? Are you busy?"
Yao Laizi said: "Well, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone, why don't you take me with you, I can protect you."
Going out is much more interesting than being at home. He doesn't want to face those boring logs at home all the time.
Su Li gave him a disgusted look: "You still protect me with your small body? Are you sure you're not holding me back?"
Yao Laizi twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment and said: "I have been practicing martial arts desperately for the past few days, and I feel that I have improved a lot. There is absolutely no problem in hitting three with one."
Su Li joked: "Is it hitting three squirrels?"
Yao Laizi: "..." Can you be more serious?
Su Li glanced at him and said: "You honestly work for me at home. If you can't complete the task I set for you today, you can go back to your house tomorrow."
Yao Laizi looked aggrieved: "I work so hard, you are so willing to drive me away!"
Su Li glared at him: "If you're so unreasonable, I'll kick him to the west."
Yao Laizi smiled and said, "I don't dare anymore."
Su Li waved her hand impatiently: "Hurry up and go to work for me."
Yao Laizi turned his head three times at a step, as if he had been wronged. He tried to use this appearance to make Su Li go back on his word.
Su Li didn't bother to look at him, and explained a few more words to He Qingyao and He Qingmu, and then walked towards the entrance of the village.
He Yufeng came out of the house. He felt that the current Su Li was both familiar and strange to him. He even felt a little afraid in his heart, afraid that she would leave them suddenly.
Su Li bumped into Chen Xiang as soon as he left the courtyard.
Chen Xiang saw a trace of embarrassment flashing across Su Li's face, and for a while she didn't know how to face Su Li.
Su Li's expression is normal, as if Chen Xiang is the air.
Chen Xiang looked at Su Li's back basket and asked, "Big sister, are you going to the market?"
Su Li glanced at her and said, "Are we familiar? So familiar that we need to say hello when we meet? I think in terms of our current relationship, it's best not to meet each other, so as not to affect everyone's mood."
Chen Xiang choked, she always knew that Su Li was very sharp, but she didn't think anything wrong when she didn't target her before, but now she started to target her, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Su Li left without even looking at her.
She didn't want to talk to He Dahai and Chen Xiang anymore, so why should she continue to feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, who in turn would bite herself.
Old man Zhao immediately became excited when he saw Su Li's dejected expression.
Su Li walked over and put the basket on the car: "How much more is left?"
Old man Zhao said with a smile: "Let's wait for a while, if there is no one, we will set off."
After all, one more person is worth more, and he can’t run twice a day, so every time he gathers enough people to start.
"All right!" Su Li said.
Anyway, taking a car is faster than walking, so it doesn’t hurt to wait a little longer.
Old man Zhao approached Su Li and asked, "Do you know that the official came here yesterday?"
"I know." Su Li said.
Old man Zhao said again: "It's all because of my bad luck, and I deeply missed living with a hundred taels of silver."
He only found out what happened yesterday this morning. If he didn't go out, maybe the one hundred taels would be his!
Su Li smiled and said nothing, even if he was at home, the one hundred taels had nothing to do with him.
Old man Zhao babbled many things into her ear again, Su Li couldn't help but pick out her ears, her eardrums were almost destroyed by old man Zhao.
Fortunately, a few people came soon, and old man Zhao drove the ox cart and set off, lest old man Zhao continue to chat with her, Su Li began to close his eyes and rest up.
Old man Zhao looked back at Su Li, and found that she was asleep, and swallowed the words again.
The bullock cart swayed back and forth, and Su Li really fell asleep.
The bullock cart stopped again, Su Li thought she had arrived in the town, so she opened her eyes.
Haven't arrived in town yet, this place is even a little strange.
"Where is this? Why don't you leave?" Su Li asked.
Old man Zhao must have some bad intentions, right?
Su Li counted the people in the car without any trace, no more, no less.
Old man Zhao explained: "The road we used to take was blocked by a fallen tree, so we changed to a small road."
This small road is not easy to walk. He usually does not want to take this road when driving, but today he has no choice but to take this road.
Su Li continued to question: "Then why don't you leave?"
Old Man Zhao pointed to the paper money on the ground and said, "Have you seen this paper money?"
"Is there any question?" Su Li asked.
Old man Zhao explained: "You don't understand this. The paper money was just scattered, and the paper money was called to clear the way. Someone passed away nearby. This is to prepare for the burial. The paper money was scattered in advance to let everyone avoid it."
"Our current place is slightly wider, so stopping here to avoid is the best choice."
Su Li: "..." This is the first time I've heard such a statement.
But since this is someone else's custom, she still chooses to respect it.
After waiting for a while, the mourners came.
The dutiful son walked in the front. Those people kept crying and muttering words.
The people in the car were dissatisfied: "It's really unlucky, let us see this early in the morning."
Su Li said silently in her heart: "Coffin, coffin, get promoted and get rich."
When the mourners passed by them, Su Li felt a cold look towards her.
Su Li followed that gaze, but found that everything was normal, as if it was just her illusion.
