Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

The rain was not bad at first.

Most of the officers and soldiers slept in the carriages. A few larger families had taken up higher ground and built makeshift awnings with tarpaulin and branches to block out the cold wind.

As for those families who really had to travel empty-handed, they could only shiver in a simple shack made of rags.

It was like "it was raining heavily outside and drizzling lightly inside." Moreover, for dinner, I only had half a black bun and a sip of water given by the official.

Everyone had a sad look on their face.

I don’t know if they can survive this dangerous night.

At this time, the Sun family was in turmoil.

It turned out that after dinner, the Sun family discussed using silver to bribe the officials. It would be best if they could borrow a carriage so that the woman could get in and rest for a night.

Unexpectedly, when the family was discussing who could get into the carriage, they had a quarrel without any hesitation.

It was simple: the First, Second, and Third Madams all wanted to take their daughters into the carriage to rest. However, there were too many people, making it impossible.

After arguing for a long time, they finally decided that only Sun Zhengzhi, Old Madam Sun, Old Auntie and Sun Yaozu could enter the carriage.

As a result, the other people were naturally not very happy.

What was even more annoying was that when they were about to take out the silver, they discovered that the big bag that had been kept in the Sun family's main house and had always been carried by Sun Weiwei was missing.

You know, all the heavier loose silver coins are in that bundle.

As for the private possessions of each person, most of them were light silver bills, which were not suitable for spending while in exile.

Sun Weiwei was terrified and almost cried, she said tremblingly:

"I...I don't know either."

"Just now, when we were halfway there, Qu Xiaoxiao snatched my bag away and insisted on carrying it for me."

"I thought we were sisters after all, so it wouldn't be a big deal to hold it for her for a while. Who knew she would disappear..."

The Sun family was confused.

Only then did I remember that when Qu Xiaoxiao was standing here just now, she seemed to be holding a familiar bag tightly in her arms.

It's just that at that time everyone's attention was focused on whether Qu Zhongliang had a concubine, so no one paid attention.

"Where is she now?"

Old Madam Sun asked sternly.

The family then started looking for Qu Xiaoxiao everywhere. However, they looked everywhere but still couldn't find Qu Xiaoxiao.

"This girl is alone, and she's carrying such a big bag. Will she get lost?"

Mrs. Sun San asked with some concern.

What she was worried about was not Qu Xiaoxiao, but the heavy baggage she was carrying. After all, their exile group was a mixed bag.

It's really not safe for a young girl like Qu Xiaoxiao to carry so much cash on her.

"Brother-in-law, you are such a fool. Xiaoxiao is your biological daughter after all, and you just pissed her off and left her, and you didn't even bother looking for her..."

Mr. Sun Sanye also began to blame Qu Zhongliang.

Qu Zhongliang secretly rolled his eyes.

The Third Master and Third Madam of the Sun family are truly a family, equally hypocritical. They act as if they are so kind and worried about Qu Xiaoxiao. Who doesn't know what they are thinking?

However, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. So he swallowed his anger and said with a smile:

"Third brother and sister-in-law, you're joking. Xiaoxiao ran away in front of everyone, and no one tried to stop her."

"But, my third brother and his wife also said that she's just a half-grown girl, so I don't think she could have gotten very far. She must have found a place to hide when she saw it was raining, and she'll probably come back soon after the rain stops."

"The most urgent thing now is for everyone to come up with some money, otherwise the old master, the old lady, and Yaozu will freeze to death if they sleep like this all night."

These words successfully diverted the attention of Sun Zhengzhi and Old Lady Sun.

Yes, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of the carriage first, and then we can deal with Qu Xiaoxiao, the disobedient girl.

In the end, Sun Jiaojiao reluctantly took out 20 taels of silver from the bundle. There was no other way, because Sun Weiwei was responsible for keeping the bundle before. Now the bundle was gone in her hands. Even if Sun Weiwei was not favored, she was still a member of the eldest wife.

If something goes wrong, it will naturally be the big roof's fault.

Sun Zhengzhi, Madam Sun, the old aunt and Sun Yaozu got the money and got on the carriage smoothly and settled down.

Sure enough, not long after, the rain gradually got heavier.

The Sun family members who hadn't boarded the carriages had their tarpaulins gradually filled with water, and everyone was woken by the cold after a short nap. They had to do the same as the people next door, trying to clean up the water and deal with the wet bedding.

Sun Wanru avoided everyone and prepared to climb onto the carriage stealthily.

However, after taking a few steps, a cold hand grabbed my ankle tightly.

Sun Wanru was startled and looked down. It turned out to be Madam Sun, whose face was ashen from the cold.

"Fifth sister, it's raining heavily outside, where are you going?"

Madam Sun asked with trembling lips.

"Oh, it's really strange. When did my sister-in-law start caring about me so much?"

Sun Wanru sneered:

"No matter how bad Qu Xiaoxiao is, she is still my biological daughter. Now she's missing, and as her mother, I want to go look for her nearby. Does sister-in-law want to come with me?"

"Oh, that's how it is,"

Madam Sun said with a half-smile, "I was mistaken. I didn't realize that Fifth Sister still had a loving mother in her heart."

"Then go quickly...but the roads are slippery due to the heavy rain. Fifth sister, please don't get lost. It would be bad if you get into a place you shouldn't be."

This is a sarcastic remark.

Sun Wanru felt uncomfortable after hearing this. However, when she thought about it carefully, a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

He immediately broke free from Madam Sun's hand and walked towards the carriage arranged by the Sun family without looking back.

The carriage was cramped, smelly, and cluttered with the officials' belongings. Sun Zhengzhi, Madam Sun, his old concubine, and Sun Yaozu were forced to huddle together.

Old Madam Sun and the old concubine, two women who have been fighting with each other all their lives, are now squeezed into a narrow space. How can they possibly be content?

As soon as they got on the carriage, the two men squeezed on both sides of Sun Zhengzhi, almost squeezing him into a dried-up body.

Old Madam Sun’s advantage is that she is fat, so she occupies a large area and has an advantage in strength.

The old aunt’s advantage is that she has Sun Yaozu, the imperial sword, by her side.

"Sister, please stop squeezing our master," the old aunt said softly.

"It doesn't matter if you squeeze me. I am of low status, and I am lucky to have a place to stay."

"It's just that Yaozu is still young and growing. He can't stand such a strong squeeze from his sister..."

Her voice was so sweet that it gave people goose bumps all over their bodies. It was completely different from her usual aggressive attitude when she was talking to the women in the inner house.

But Sun Zhengzhi just fell for her tricks.

Sun Zhengzhi coughed immediately and angrily scolded Madam Sun, "Stop pushing us. You're already old, why are you arguing with a child? Can't you understand a little bit?"

"If you really don't want to stay in the carriage, just go back to the tent. It's spacious there."

When Mrs. Sun heard that the old man was actually leaning towards the vixen again, she was so angry that she turned her back and pushed Sun Zhengzhi hard with her fat buttocks, and then she started snoring in her sleep.

Sun Zhengzhi: "..."

Rude, so rude.
