Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

"Third son... I'm glad you're okay..." Old Man Su looked at his third son, who seemed to be more charming than before, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll just sit here and watch over the third son!"

It means that there is no need to bother with the rectification, and I don’t want to move anymore.

"Big brother, second brother, why did you carry dad here when he is so weak?" There was no extra expression on Su Laosan's face. No one could tell whether this sentence was out of concern for his father or blaming his two brothers.

But behind him, a group of people from the old Su family came over. The eldest grandson Su Yunsheng carried Su Li on his back, and the others supported each other. They walked over with sallow faces and staggering figures.

They all sat down around Su Lao San consciously.

The village head didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Third brother, I heard from the eldest brother that you came here last night. Dad knew that your legs were not convenient for you to come over, so Dad asked your two brothers to carry you here. Dad wanted to see how you were doing... Don't blame them!"

After the journey of fleeing, Old Man Su's character seemed to have softened a lot, and his words were not as sharp as before.

Su Laosan nodded but didn't say anything.

"How's this leg?" Old man Su pointed at his third son's leg and asked with some embarrassment.

They thought that their son was doomed and would have to flee from famine, so they simply abandoned him.

But he didn't expect that not long after, the son whom he thought was useless would come in a luxurious carriage, and the first thing he did was to give him a big white steamed bun. He even ate half of it last night, and he still can't forget the fragrance.

He didn't want to live a precarious life anymore. He also wanted to eat white steamed buns every day, ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and live the life of an old man.

"It's still the same. I can't die!" Su Laosan replied indifferently, not even bothering to look at him.

Su Li was extremely anxious when she saw the situation. She tried to speak several times, but was stopped by the eldest son's wife.

Su Wangshi pulled her mother-in-law together not for any other reason but because her father-in-law had just told her to keep an eye on Su Lishi and not let her say anything wrong and ruin things.

Old Master Su knew that the third son hated Li the most. He was well aware of the grievances his son had suffered since childhood.

Su Laosan looked at the Su family members who were staring at him but no one said a word. His father didn't know what to say for a moment, so he ignored them.

He turned around and started talking to his daughter.

"Yiyi, your sister Xue'er didn't get hurt when she got in the car, right?"

Su Qiuyi sat next to her father. Although she felt very lucky to see the Su family, she did not go anywhere else in order to take care of her father.

Su Mingyue hid behind her sister. She was still subconsciously afraid of Su Li. Although she knew that they were separated and Su Li had no control over her, she was still afraid.

Su Qiuyi heard her father's question and shook her head, "Aunt is very strong. She just carried Sister Xue'er up. It's okay!"

"That's good..." Su Laosan breathed a sigh of relief.

He truly loved his two nephews and nieces, just as much as he loved his three daughters. He felt extremely guilty when he heard that they were injured.

If he had not been injured, if he had been able to escape with his brother-in-law and his family, these things would not have happened.

Seeing that the father and daughter didn't say anything more, the village head finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Third boy, uncle has an idea and wants to ask for your opinion!"

Su Laosan turned his head and looked at the head of the village with an inquiring look.

The head of the village did not dare to be arrogant. He asked Su Laosan to ask him to speak and quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Third boy, you see, I am old now, and I can't hold on to the position of head here anymore. I really have no power over it! The situation is so difficult right now, and I don't dare to guarantee that I can bring everyone back home alive! So I want to give you the position of head of the village! What do you think?"

After the headman finished speaking, Su Laosan turned around hesitantly and happened to meet his daughter's eyes.

The father and daughter looked at each other and exchanged glances. Although Su Xiaofang was taking care of her son, she was also listening to the noise over here. After hearing what Li Zheng said, she couldn't help but turn around and look over here.

Su Laosan looked at the head of the village and said with some embarrassment, "Uncle, you are highly respected and your words can convince the villagers. I am different. I am young and my leg is injured. I really can't take on this important task!"

Old Man Su spoke up eagerly, "Third brother, if the head of the village says you can do it, then you can do it! Don't refuse!"

What a joke! If the third brother can become the head of the village, he can walk around the village like a big shot, and the old man's life will be secure, right?

"Yes, your father also said so. He also recognized your ability! As for your young age, you are already the father of three children, so you are not young anymore. And your legs can walk now, so how long will it take for you to get better? You have the ability and you have a lot of experience! I have looked around and I think you are the only one who can take on this position! Today, I will hand over this heavy responsibility to you!"

As he said this, he stood up and shouted to the villagers who had not left, "Today, I will hand over the position of village head to Su Changning, the third son of the Su family! Are there any of you who object to this?"

The people around had heard some rumors in the morning and had discussed it among themselves. When the village chief asked this question, they all replied in unison, "No!"

The village head got a satisfactory answer and turned to look at Su Laosan. "Look, your ability is recognized by the whole village! What are you still hesitating about?"

Su Qiuyi looked at the scene in front of her. How could she not understand that Li was throwing the hot potato to them? Who didn't know that this was a desperate situation?

There are bandits outside, people are short of food and clothing, and there are many wounded. How desperate can this situation be?

What they say about recognition of ability is all bullshit. It seems that they just want to find a way to survive because they have a carriage and can produce so much food and water at once.

She calmly wrote the four words (can't guarantee) on his father's palm.

Sure enough, her father did not disappoint her. After understanding his daughter's meaning, Su Laosan did not hesitate. He waved his hand to stop the shouting of the surrounding villagers and spoke to everyone:

"Since everyone is so sincere in wanting to nominate me as the village head, I have to say something up front!

Under the current circumstances, I cannot guarantee any of your problems. If you insist on letting me be the head of the village, you must absolutely obey my command. If anyone disagrees, just say it now! Or anyone who wants to be the head of the village can say it. After all, I am really a little overwhelmed! I cannot guarantee that I can really bring you back to Houshan Village alive!"

After he finished speaking, Su Qiuyi no longer had any worries. At first she was worried that her father could not shoulder this responsibility, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

Rather than contributing and getting nothing in return, it would be better for them to really take over the position of village head. Anyway, whether they are the village head or not, their family will be in trouble. It would be better to take a gamble. If they win, they will have a place in Houshan Village and live a stable life in the future. Even the old Su family will not be able to cause any trouble again.

After all, with power in hand, everything can be done easily.
