It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

If Song Zhi was a naive child, she might have believed what the Song clan leader said.

But she is obviously not.

Even if the villagers did not rent the Wang family's land, it would only take a word for the Wang family to punish them.

They only need to tell the grain merchants in the city not to buy grain from their village, and they will do so in order not to offend the Wang family. How will the villagers live in the future?

If it weren't for her uncle and cousin being involved, she wouldn't want to confront the Wang family so quickly.

But now that things have come to this, she has no choice.

It is indeed not a good idea to let the villagers follow her.

Seeing Song Zhi's resolute attitude, the Song clan leader sighed and said, "Forget it. Then go and exchange the person tomorrow. If you can't get him back, tell me. Then I will bring the villagers to ask for an explanation."

Song Zhi thanked him solemnly, "Thank you, Grandpa, the clan leader!"

Patriarch Song waved his hand and was about to take Song Guangyun away.

Song Guangyun said, "Brother, please go first. I still have something to ask Azhi."

Clan leader Song was thinking about something, but he didn't ask any more questions and walked away with his hands behind his back.

After Chief Song left, Song Guangyun asked hesitantly, "You said your uncle and brother both had diarrhea the night they lost the sheep?"

Song Zhi nodded, "What Auntie said must be true."

Song Guangyun murmured, "How could I have diarrhea on the night I lost the sheep? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"You think it's a coincidence too?"

"Yes, what a coincidence!" After saying that, he left with a worried look on his face!

Song Zhi scratched her head in confusion. What happened?

Wu, who had been helped to stand up, said, "Erji and Sanji from your grandfather Yun's family are also working at the Wang family. I'm afraid they heard about your uncle's situation and are worried too!"

Song Zhi suddenly realized and stopped worrying about it.

She hurried forward and supported Wu's other arm, and as she led them home, she comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry. I promise to bring Uncle and the others back tomorrow!"

Wu agreed verbally, but because of what happened today, she felt uneasy in her heart.

The atmosphere at home was very solemn. Even Song Cheng, who was usually the most lively, had no smile on his face.

After the pastries were ready, the family went to bed early.

But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't fall asleep after staying up for the first half of the night, so they simply gave up sleeping and got up in tacit understanding to make jelly.

Song Zhi heard the noise and went to the kitchen, only to see that the jelly had already been cooked.

Song Zhi said helplessly: "Grandma, how early did you get up and busy?"

There were so many things going on yesterday that she forgot to remind him. Apart from the jelly that she had ordered, she decided not to make anything else for now.

Now it seems that it is obviously too late.

"I can't sleep either. I'd better stay busy. If I'm busy, I won't have time to think about random things."

Song Zhi didn't care and pushed the person back to the room. "If you can't sleep, just lie down. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the person back!"

Mrs. Wu didn't want her granddaughter to worry about her anymore, so she lay back on the bed and continued to toss and turn.

At this time, there was another person who was tossing and turning like Wu and couldn't sleep.

Ever since Song Guangyun returned from the Song family, he has been worried about the situation of his two sons.

His wife was not in good health, so he didn't dare tell her when he came back. He just tossed and turned until dawn.

A few years ago, my eldest son died in the battlefield, and my wife fell seriously ill as a result. The family sold most of the land, and only then was they able to barely save their lives.

Now my second son is already twenty years old, but no one dares to marry their daughter to his family.

In order to save some food and save more money, the two sons also went to work for the Wang family.

If this happened to Dashan and his son, and it happened to his family, wouldn't the two sons be trapped like this for the rest of their lives?

The more Song Guangyun thought about it, the more frightened he became. When the rooster crowed once, he seemed to have made up his mind.

He slowly got up and put on his clothes.

Chen sensed some movement around her and muttered, "It's still dark, what are you doing up so early?"

Although he asked the question, he straightened up and was about to get up.

His wife's health was not good to begin with, and Song Guangyun didn't want to make her worry, so he just said vaguely, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell the clan leader about something yesterday. You go to sleep, I'll go talk to the clan leader."

After saying this, without giving his wife a chance to ask questions, he walked out of the house and headed towards the Song family at the end of the village.

He wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to work with the Song family to bring his sons back.

Song Zhi came out of her grandmother's room and ran into her aunt who was staring at her eagerly.

Yang took a step forward, took Song Zhi's hand and said, "Ah Zhi, can I go to the county town to help you sell jelly today?"

She didn't know what her niece would do to bring the person back, but her husband and son were still at Wang's house. Instead of worrying about it at home, it would be better for her to go with her to pick him up.

Song Zhi agreed without hesitation, "It's just right for Aunt to come and help. You just listen to me when the time comes. We'll split up. You take the child to buy jelly, and I'll go find help."

When Yang heard that she was willing to take her, she nodded happily, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Lying on the bed, Mrs. Wu listened to the conversation outside and felt a little more at ease.

With such a big thing happening, Wu was really worried that only a half-grown child was asked to come forward. Now that her aunt is also along, it should be safer.

When it was getting light, Song Zhi packed up the goods and called Song Cheng over, saying, "Take Xiaokang and play in the yard. When grandma wakes up, tell her we went to the county town, okay?"

If it were in the past, seeing his mother go to the county town, Song Cheng would definitely pout and cry and ask to go with her.

But today she nodded obediently, "Don't worry, sister, we will be good."

Song Zhi smiled and rubbed the two little guys' heads, then led them out the door.

Before I had walked far, I saw a man squatting on the path leading out of the village.

When Song Guangyun saw the siblings going out, he wanted to stand up, but his feet were numb from squatting for too long. He staggered and fell directly on the grass.

Song Zhi was startled and rushed forward to check, "Grandpa Yun, how are you? Where did you fall?"

The grass was soft, and he was squatting, so he didn't fall hard, but his legs were numb and he couldn't stand up for a while.

Song Guangyun waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I just squatted for too long. I just need to take a break."

Song Zhi didn't know why the other party was squatting here, but judging from his actions just now, it was obvious that he was waiting for them.

Song Zhi didn't ask in a hurry, but waited for a while.

Song Guangyun rubbed his numb calf. After the numbness subsided, he stood up and said, "Are you going to bring your uncle and the others back today? I want to go with you."

It turned out that it was because of this that Song Zhi thought of what her grandmother said yesterday that Erji and Sanji were also working at the Wang family.

She didn't answer directly, but asked, "Aren't you worried that if you go with me, it will anger the Wang family?"
