Farmer's Cannon Fodder: Listen to me, the whole family, change the plot

The matter was resolved, and not only was there a sudden turn of events, but two bags of silver were also obtained. It could really be considered a great happy event, a great happy event where money fell from the sky.

After the county magistrate turned around and left, Old Lady Su opened the two purses with great joy. One small bag contained ten taels of silver, and the other purse contained twenty taels of silver.

The extra one was the reward given to Su Fuzhu by the nobleman mentioned by the county magistrate.

"Oh! My precious granddaughter, who could be so blessed as you!"

Old Mrs. Su was so happy that she kissed Su Fuju on the face.

Su Fuzhu seemed to feel her joy and started laughing along with her.

Su Xigen was already laughing so hard that his teeth were showing, and even Su Xishan, who had been in a bad mood, rarely smiled.

This adds up to thirty taels of silver for free. Even in a good year, their family could not save so much silver in a year!

"Our Fuzhu is such a precious child." Su Xigen grinned, then moved closer to Old Lady Su: "Mother, I was beaten for no reason. My face, arms, legs, and butt hurt! We have money now, so let's pay for a bullock cart to go back!"

Su Xigen used his usual method of acting coquettishly and foolishly, but Old Lady Su just fell for it.

It just so happened that I had some new money, so I could be considered well-off. How could I not agree when my beloved little son was acting so coquettishly towards me?

"Okay, okay, okay, let's go back by ox cart!" Old Mrs. Su agreed readily, and her eyes were full of kindness when she looked at Su Xigen.

Su Xishan, who was originally smiling, saw this scene, but the corners of his mouth fell again.

He had never seen such a loving smile since he was a child.

To be precise, he had never seen Old Lady Su smile at him like this from childhood to adulthood, such a loving smile. He had only seen Old Lady Su smile at his eldest brother Su Xikui and his youngest brother Su Xigen, and his youngest brother Su Xigen had received such a smile more often.

Moreover, he knew clearly that if it was him instead of Su Xigen who asked to take the car today, Old Mrs. Su would not agree at all and would scold him instead.

In this situation, when Su Xishan looked at Su Fuju who was still in his arms, there was malice in his eyes, a malice that he himself was not even aware of.

Su Fuzhu felt it and moved uneasily.

But she didn't feel this malice for long.

After Old Lady Su put the silver in her arms, she took Su Fuzhu from Su Xishan's arms and hugged her tightly.

Just from this incident, Old Lady Su became more and more convinced that Su Fuzhu was a very lucky and noble person.

As an elderly lady, she naturally needs to hug such a blessed person more often so that he can have more blessings. Maybe he can live a hundred years and become an old lady like the old lady in the future!

Because Su Xigen said he wanted to ride an ox cart, Old Lady Su and the others did not leave the city directly, but went to the place where they rented ox carts.

They disdain to join others in sharing a bullock cart, and instead spent a few more cents to hire an bullock cart to take them back.

In fact, there is also selfish motive on the part of Old Lady Su.

Because Old Mrs. Su felt that they were taken away by the minor officials in a tone of seeing a prisoner, and after coming back, her son was completely innocent and had no problems. In this case, they had to go back more openly and with more fanfare to tell everyone that nothing had happened to their Su family.

Old Mrs. Su was the one who made the decision at home. She decided to rent a bullock cart alone, and her two sons naturally had no objection.

And being able to rent a ox cart and sit in it alone was so comfortable that not only Su Xigen, but even Su Xishan was happy.

The ox cart swayed as they returned to Songjia Village. As soon as they entered the village, Old Lady Su sat outside the ox cart, unable to stop smiling.

She just wanted people to see that, even though he was taken away by the officers in such a miserable state, they came back in glory!

But, unfortunately, she didn’t enjoy her glory for long before someone started talking to her to spoil the mood.

"Mrs. Su, are you still having fun here? Your old man is dead!"

Someone's voice was heard, and Old Lady Su heard it clearly, but she looked around but couldn't see anyone. She could only be sure that it was Mrs. Ge who was speaking.

"I bother!"

Old Man Su was fine before he passed away. In Old Lady Su's opinion, how could he die with such great kung fu skills?

So, Old Lady Su thought that it was Mrs. Ge who was cursing her.

"Your old man just died!" Old Mrs. Su cursed while sitting beside the ox cart: "You dirty-hearted bastard! Your old man just died! Seeing that my son is fine and we have returned in glory, you are not relieved? You dare to curse me! Bah!"

The driver of the ox cart couldn't help but smile to the side.

It was really because Old Lady Su cursed too loudly.

Mrs. Ge's voice rang out again: "Why would I lie to you? If you go back and take a look, you will know. Your old man has passed away!"

This time it wasn't just Mrs. Ge who spoke up, other women who had a bad relationship with him also echoed him.

The content of the articles all said that old man Su had passed away.

Old Mrs. Su wanted to curse loudly, but as more people spoke, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Old Mrs. Su began to urge the coachman.

When the driver heard so many people saying that the old man of the family that hired him had died, he guessed it was true. Anyway, he had already received the money, so he simply drove the ox cart faster.

As they hurried, they were getting closer and closer to the Su family's gate. There was no need for Old Mrs. Su to go back home to check, because she saw her two daughters-in-law hanging white cloth at the door from a distance.

In Songjia Village, only when someone has just died in the family will white cloth be hung at the door, and it will be replaced with a white flag the next day.

Old Mrs. Su's heart suddenly sank, and she even felt cold in her limbs.

Although Old Man Su was not very kind to her, in the eyes of Old Lady Su, Old Man Su was her husband! He was her lifelong support!

And now her husband is dead, her support is dead, and she feels like half of herself is dead too.

The ox cart stopped in front of the Su family's gate, but the people on the cart had lost all the joy of returning home in glory.

Old Mrs. Su's legs were so weak that she couldn't hold Su Fuzhu at all.

Su Xishan took a look at Su Xigen's appearance and felt that she could not support Old Lady Su, so she stuffed Su Fuju into his arms and helped Old Lady Su get off the ox cart and walk into the house.

In Songjia Village, when someone dies, their body is placed in the yard. It is unlucky to leave it in the house.

Old man Su died suddenly, and the wood for his coffin had not yet been carried down, so naturally there was no coffin parked in the yard.

Zhang Chuncao, the daughter-in-law, was still locked up, so Liu Cuixiang and Song Xiuhe simply put together two wooden boards, placed the dead old man Su on the boards, and left them in the yard.

So when Old Mrs. Su entered the door, she saw Old Man Su's body lying there.

"Husband!!!" Old Mrs. Su broke free from Su Xishan's support and rushed towards Old Man Su in great grief.
