Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Two days later, Liu Juye also brought the news to Su Qingyu. ReadМ

Within a few days, almost everyone under the Guangning Mansion knew that the rebels had invaded the capital and driven the emperor out of the Golden Palace. Everyone was shocked.

The person who sat in the Golden Palace has always been a god-like existence, but now he was ousted by a rebel army composed of disaster victims?

The common people have never seen the emperor and are naturally afraid of imperial power. Usually when I see a yamen officer, I am so frightened that I dare not raise my head. I don't understand or care about political affairs. They are willing to listen to whoever tells them to eat.

But in the past few months, the authorities have collected a bunch of miscellaneous taxes, which have hollowed out many people's homes and left them too poor to put food on the table. I dare not express my anger towards the person above and the official. Now they heard that people like them had ousted the emperor, which suddenly subverted their imagination.

The streets were full of people whispering to each other.

Some ruffians suddenly started to tremble. Together with some lazy people and some homeless people in the town, they quickly formed a team, destroying, smashing and looting in Fengting Town every day.

Every merchant is patronized by them. Some large businesses are visited several times a day.

Su Qing's shop was also invaded by a group of people, vandalized and looted.

Fortunately, her daily flow was just scattered copper plates and a little broken silver, so the other party didn't think much of it. Those people who want to make a fortune once they turn over all want to be big, and they all focus on big merchants. Gold and silver jewelry shops, cloth shops, ready-made clothing shops, embroidery shops, rice, grain and oil shops, etc., are the most visited. Restaurants and bars are also places that these people often visit. When they go in, they ask for good food and drink from the store.

A lot of oil was stolen from Second Aunt Su's oil shop. She cried and ran to the ground to grab it. She was pushed and fell to the ground and was trampled on. If her second uncle and others hadn't pulled her away quickly, her hands and feet would have been injured. People stepped on it.

There was chaos in Fengting Town. Shops are closing one after another. All residents are also staying behind closed doors.

But this group of people not only harassed the residents during the day, but also knocked on the doors of each household at night. If the doors were not opened, they broke in, stole valuables, and ran away. Suddenly everyone in the town was in danger.

One night, Old Man Xie brought his old servant and Xie Qiyou over and asked Su Qingyu if she wanted to go to Guangning Mansion with him to take a break. Su Qingyu shook her head. She has a big family and it's not good to bother others. Before Xie Qiyou left, he exchanged gifts with Xiao Qingxing and Xiao Qingyang, and Xie Qiyou finally left reluctantly.

Su Qingnao brought Granny Zhou and her family into the store. There was no man in her family who was able to establish a household, but there was a big tiger, a big ginger, and a servant in the store. Su Qingyu, on the other hand, stayed at home with her children, Su Qingliu, Su's father and several farm servants, staying behind closed doors.

After Lu Shengcai was robbed of the grocery store, he packed up his things at home and asked Su Qingyu if he wanted to go to Pingchuan County with him for a while. It was the seat of the county government and had heavy gates, so it could withstand some resistance. Those people dare not make trouble easily.

Su Qingyu refused.

Lu Shengcai had no choice but to hug his grandson and leave with Wu and Lu Bozong.

A few days later, the head of Su Qingyu's village came over with two servants, saying that Zhuangzi had also been attacked by those people, and a lot of things in the village had been robbed.

Su Qingyu asked them if the grain in the cellar was still there. Zhuangtou said it was still there. Su Qingyu felt relieved. The entrance to the cellar in Zhuangzi cannot be found by ordinary people. As long as the cover is good, ordinary people can't find the things in the cellar.

Su Qingnao told them not to resist if there were many people on the other side, and they would just let them take away the things in the village. It was most important to protect their personal safety.

Zhuangtou agreed. Before leaving, Su Qingyu gave him a sum of money and asked him to distribute it to the servants, firstly to reassure them, and secondly to make up for their losses.

Within a few days, the town became increasingly chaotic. All the shops are no longer open. Residents who can afford it have also fled to other places.

One night, Su Qingyu, along with Su's father, Su Dahu, and others, unpacked the things in the cellar of the shop, and took the whole family, as well as her mother-in-law Zhou's family, to hide in Xiahe Village, the home of Lu Bocheng's maternal grandfather.

It is close to the neighboring county and the place is remote, safer than Fengting Town.

Before leaving, he left a message for Liu Juye.

A group of people headed to the small mountain village at night. After walking for most of the night, we arrived at Xiahe Village near dawn.

The house of Lu Bocheng's maternal grandfather in Xiahe Village had been repossessed two months ago. The family rented the land and the house of Lu Bocheng's maternal grandfather's family. They originally lived a decent life. Unexpectedly, the taxes became heavier and heavier. The family worked hard and had no food to eat, so they retired. I bought the house and farm rent and moved into the mountains. As a mountain dweller, you don’t have to pay taxes.

After everyone tidied up, they settled down.

After settling in, Su's father took Su Qingyu to visit the village chief.

In the past, Su's father often came to help take care of the fields and houses left by his grandfather. The village chief and everyone in the village knew him. Later, Su Qingyu collected fruits, vegetables and poultry in the village, and everyone knew her.

Knowing that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the old Lu family in the next village, he was quite friendly to her.

Su Qingyu walked around the village and explained the reason to the village chief and others. The village chief and others couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. They all told her to live in the village with peace of mind and that everyone would take care of each other if anything happened. Su Qingyu thanked the village chief and others.

In the afternoon, Su Qingyu carried some things and went to Shanghe Village next door with Su's father and Lu Xiaobao in his arms.

The old Lu family welcomed her arrival very much. The old couple hugged Lu Xiaobao and refused to let go. Lu Xiaobao has been staying in the town since he was born and has never been to the village. He only slept soundly and looked around without blinking.

Very curious. He could spend a long time looking at the chickens, ducks, geese, puppies, and small animals in the village, even the caterpillars on the leaves.

Eyes full of surprise. Then he saw Lu Weiji, who was about the same age as him, and the two brothers were sitting together babbling and talking in incomprehensible baby talk.

When Lao Lutou heard Su Qingyu talk about the things in the town, he was very scared.

He patted his chest and said, "It's better to live in the countryside. We don't have such things in the countryside. Just live in the village with peace of mind. The village is full of people and they don't dare to come."

It’s not that I don’t dare to come. Maybe they think that since everyone is poor, they are just fighting against the government and wealthy people. The poor people have nothing to gain. Secondly, because everyone has the same status, it may not be easy to attack.

Su Qingyu had dinner at Lao Lu's house before returning to Xiahe Village.

After Su's father sent them here, he returned to Qiaotou Village the next day. He is worried about his family. Qiaotou Village is close to Fengting Town, and I don’t know if anything happened to my family.

Su Qingyu settled down in Xiahe Village. Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu and others often bring food over. Lao Lutou and his wife would come to see their great-grandson every day, and Mrs. Huang also came to play with Xiaobao with Lu Weiji in her arms. The two villages are right next to each other, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the next village.

He also moves around a lot.

More than half a month passed like this. By December, there was more news in town.
