When I got upstairs on the path, I threw away the old purse on my waist and replaced it with this new one.

But this purse, which he thought was the best, failed to accompany him back to Kyoto after all. In an inn on the way back to Kyoto, he was spotted by a strange man and bought it for a high price of ten taels of silver.

The man was originally going back to Beijing just like Xiaolu and the others. After hearing Xiaolu's explanation of the origin of the purse, he immediately checked out and went to Yi County.

What Xiaolu didn't know was that by the time the man and his party arrived at the Yuelai Inn in Yi County, Suxue and the others had already left, and he missed them after all.

These are all things for later.

Suxue got the broken silver from Xiaolu, thinking that this could be regarded as an explanation to Xiaoxiang, so she quickly forgot about this episode. She still had to talk to Shopkeeper Hua about selling cloth bags.

By the time Suxue came out of Yuelai Inn, Daizi and the others had finished delivering the goods and were waiting by the roadside, and they went out of the city gate together.

This time, Suxue sat on the cart with peace of mind and glanced sideways at Ma Li to see if you still said something weird about "pushing your wife". The guy pushing the cart was her cousin.

How could Ma Li remember those casual words? He was wasted waiting for Suxue at the Yuelai Inn today. He was in a hurry to go back and help Ma Shun make tofu, so he pushed the cart and walked quickly. When he was about to arrive at Majiazhai

He has already left the big boys and the others far behind.

The young man did not chase him, but pushed Suxue and walked slowly. Anyway, they were about to reach a fork in the road, and Ma Li and the others were about to part ways at the fork.

From the intersection, Ma Li had to go straight into Majiazhai, while the rest of them had to turn onto the narrow path and pass through the wasteland to the courtyard where everyone lived.

The eldest son was just thinking to himself when he heard Suxue knocking on the side of the car "tuk tuk tuk", and the eldest son looked at her in surprise.

Seeing Suxue sitting in the car making lip-syncs for him, the young man understood. What she said was: "Don't turn the corner, keep walking."

Without even thinking about it, the young man whispered to Niu Heng beside him: "Follow me closely and don't talk."

The three people crossed the fork in the road without squinting and walked straight down the direction of Majiazhai.

The man standing at the fork in the road saw that Da Zi and the others were walking towards Majiazhai like Ma Li who had just passed by, so he stopped staring at them and continued to wander around the intersection.

The young man walked into Majiazhai without looking back. As soon as he entered the village, he turned a corner and stopped behind a courtyard.

Seeing that there were no pedestrians around, the young man asked quietly: "Juni, what's the problem with those two people?"

Suxue said: "The only entrance from that intersection is the courtyard where we live. I have never met anyone else on that path. Those two people are so sneaky and suspicious. We can't do anything until we figure out the situation."

Go that way in front of them."

Turning into that road in front of them, didn't you tell others that there were people living there, and who knew what those two people were doing? Apart from saying anything else, if someone discovered that they were a group of refugees, that would be...

fatal.

When Daizi and Niu Heng heard this, their expressions suddenly became solemn, "What should we do?"

Suxue shook her head and said: "We can't do anything now. We can only wait until they leave before we can go back. The only thing we can do is not to be exposed."

Niu Heng said: "Then let me go and see what they want to do."

Niu Heng is thin and looks younger than his actual age. Even if he was seen by those two people in the past, he probably wouldn't attract much attention.

"Okay, then you should be careful. If something happens...just imitate the birds and we will go over and help you."

Niu Heng gave Suxue a reassuring look and returned along the road. Daizi and Suxue pricked up their ears and waited nervously.

After a while, Niu Heng came back, "Those two people left, heading towards the county seat."

The second boy asked: "They left as soon as you passed by? Did you hear them talking?"

Niu Heng said: "They left before I even got close to them. They were too far away and couldn't hear clearly what they said. I could only vaguely hear and couldn't find anything around Majiazhai."

It sounded like he was looking for someone or something.

The young man turned around and said to Suxue: "Let's go back. I guess nothing will happen. We are just too nervous."

Maybe she really overreacted, Suxue thought all the way, still feeling a little uneasy, so she told Si Sheng about it when she got back.

Si Sheng did not think that Suxue was overly sensitive. He felt that the necessary vigilance was still necessary.

He immediately found Niu Zhixin and informed everyone to be on guard.

The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became tense. The people in charge of security did not dare to slack off any more. They were alert at all times and patrolled around the yard with their eyes wide open.

People working in the courtyard also kept their weapons at hand and looked up from time to time outside the courtyard gate while working.

In addition to practicing boxing and kicking classes on the river beach, the children spend the rest of the time in the yard, and they are not easily allowed to play outside in the yard.

Everyone tensed up and spent two days, but nothing happened.

However, everyone did not relax their vigilance. The experience of escaping taught them that danger may appear around them at any time, and there is no harm in being prepared anytime and anywhere.

After Suxue came back and told Si Sheng about the suspicious situation, nothing happened to her anymore. She found a chance to talk to Xiao Xiang alone.

"Xiaoxiang, I sold that purse of yours." Xiaoxiang was very surprised, her eyes were shining, someone liked what she embroidered.

Suxue took out the two pieces of silver and said, "The buyer liked it very much and gave me a lot more money than usual."

"Sister Junni, just help me sell it. The money... I don't want it anymore."

Suxue put the silver into her hand and said with a smile: "Take it quickly, you earned it through your own work, and you deserve it."

A few years later, Xiaoxiang still remembered the look on Suxue's face when she said these words that afternoon, and Xiaoxiang has always treasured this piece of silver.

Suxue sold a total of twenty cloth bags at Yuelai Inn. The three or five women earned nearly ten taels of silver for the cooperative in a few days, making each family's dividends much richer.

What makes everyone even more happy is that Suxue also signed a contract with Yuelai Inn, and the cloth bags can be consigned at Yuelai Inn for a long time. Although the sales volume is not as big as the first order, it is still a steady flow, allowing Sun He and others to work all day long.

Too busy.

All three businesses are now profitable and are becoming more and more prosperous. The six families are full of hope for the future.

Everyone is as busy as a spinning top every day, but their hearts are full. Everyone is working hard and wants to take advantage of this good momentum to do more work and earn more money.

The cooperative still distributes dividends every five days, and the amount of dividends is getting more and more every time, and everyone is no longer as frugal as when they first came here.

The first thing that has changed significantly is the food at each restaurant.

The tofu that Zhao Laosan brings back is no longer just a raw material for making dried tofu. Every day, there are always more than ten or twenty kilograms ordered by each family for their own consumption.

Dasheng, Sansheng, Qiangzi and others came back from town every day and would be entrusted by various families to buy a lot of vegetables, meat and fruits.

In addition to food, we also buy more and more daily necessities.

Everyone's clothes have also been replaced with new ones, and jackets and cotton-padded clothes have been purchased one after another.
