Chapter 224 Su Chang'an and Li Jiao'e seize the opportunity to cause trouble
"Then I'll go back and ask everyone what they think," Shen Shuli said, unable to give her best friend a definite answer.
Worried that the two might lose contact, Shen Shuli secretly took out a small walkie-talkie and handed it to Mu Wanjun.
"This can receive signals within a 50-mile radius. You can switch it to vibration mode for easier communication."
Mu Wanjun's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the walkie-talkie.
"This is so useful, we don't have to worry about not being able to contact the other party anymore."
"Hurry up and follow me! Or don't blame me for taking action!"
Xue Bufan walked over with a whip, as if he was about to lash out at Mu Wanjun at any moment.
"Get back to the team quickly, be careful." Shen Shuli urged him, worried that Xue Bufan might actually make a move.
When Shen Shuli returned to the foot of the mountain, she found that her father had already led his troops back and stopped not far from the city gate.
"Daughter, has the exile team gone up the mountain?" Su Yunhai asked with a slight frown.
He saw his daughter go up the mountain from afar and guessed that the exile team had probably gone into the mountains, so he led the team back to wait.
Shen Shuli nodded helplessly, "Yes, the prefect said there are bandits on the official road. If we go there, we will definitely be robbed and killed. It's too dangerous. It's safer to take the mountain road."
Su Yunhai finally gave up and immediately arranged for the team to unload the trucks and distribute the supplies so that people could carry them up the mountain.
Both families overheard their conversation.
Su Yunshan immediately walked over and asked, "What about these carriages and horses?"
"We can't take it up the mountain, we can only bring it into Yunzhou Prefecture to sell it." After Su Yunhai finished speaking, he winked at Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli understood instantly.
Su Chang'an's face turned green when he saw the pile of grain he had to carry in front of him.
He protested indignantly, "Father, I think we should take the official road instead. How could those bandits possibly be a match for us?"
In Su Chang'an's mind, since the time they fled famine, no one has been a match for the Su family.
So what if there are thousands of bandits?
Why not just have that brat bring out more weapons and bombard them?
Why bother carrying things up a mountain path?
He was already terrified of carrying his luggage up the mountain road in Qingyun City last time, and he never wanted to go back to those days.
For him, every minute and every second was a nightmare.
Upon hearing this, Li Jiao'e felt that her husband made a lot of sense.
She was even less inclined to walk, not only because she had to carry so much stuff, but also because she had to look after the child.
She's been having sex with her husband a lot lately, and she might already be pregnant. She doesn't want to put herself through any trouble.
She's been working really hard lately in hopes of getting pregnant again.
I want to be like my second sister-in-law, doing nothing and easily making my way to my destination.
original.
Li Jiao'e didn't want to leave the capital city anymore.
But no one from the Su family paid any attention to her, so she could only continue walking with the group, full of resentment.
Before, at least she had a carriage to ride in, so she could barely accept it.
But now we have to climb a mountain!
They still carried so many supplies while climbing the mountain!
She's really going crazy!
"Father, Chang'an is right. We have so many powerful hidden weapons, what are we afraid of? We can wipe out the bandits with just a few of them. Why don't we take the official road?"
Zhang Lanhua, who was standing nearby, turned pale with fright when she heard that they had to take a mountain road.
She was more than four months pregnant, and her pregnancy was already showing through her thin summer clothes.
She also resisted walking.
But she wisely kept quiet, hoping her older brother and sister-in-law would say more.
As soon as Su Yunhai heard his eldest son and his wife talking, he knew what they were thinking.
"If you don't want to leave, why don't you stay and live in Yunzhou Prefecture? I'll leave you some silver so you can settle down here," Su Yunhai suggested directly, too lazy to waste any more words.
Su Chang'an and Li Jiao'e's eyes lit up upon hearing this!
The two exchanged a glance, and Su Chang'an asked excitedly, "Father, can we really stay here?"
Anyway, Yunzhou Prefecture is very safe and prosperous.
Seeing this, Li Jiao'e secretly pinched Su Chang'an's arm and quickly stepped forward, saying with a fawning expression, "Father, don't listen to Chang'an's nonsense. What he actually meant was that we want to go back to the capital to settle down. Chang'an is a scholar after all, and going back to the capital would be most beneficial for him to continue his studies and take the imperial examinations. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chang'an felt that his wife made a lot of sense.
No matter how good Yunzhou Prefecture is, how can it compare to the capital?
Her wife is so clever!
If he had known, he shouldn't have left the capital with his family in the first place; now he has to go through all the trouble of returning to the capital.
Su Yunhai took a few deep breaths, but did not give the two a direct answer.
He went back to discuss the matter with Shen Yuehua.
Shen Yuehua was not far away and had already heard what the eldest son and daughter-in-law were saying.
She felt a little depressed.
Although this son was not born to her, she had the memories of this body and had spent eight years with these three sons.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son would make this choice.
Clearly, the couple didn't care about their parents at all.
What a failure!
Shen Yuehua, looking slightly tired, said, "I have done everything I could for them. I have accumulated enough disappointment. Let them do as they please. I don't want to interfere in their affairs anymore, but I can't let Tianze go with them."
She couldn't possibly let her grandson risk going back with those two idiots, knowing full well that the capital would soon fall.
Su Yunhai was silent for a moment, then nodded to her and said, "Okay, I understand."
Then he called Su Pingan, Su Ding'an and the other two together.
He looked at the three men with a serious expression and asked, "Second brother, third brother, do any of you also want to settle down? If you don't want to continue traveling, you can stay with the eldest brother."
Su Ding'an didn't expect his father to ask him such a question; it was obvious that his father was angry with his older brother, that dim-witted idiot.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Dad, please don't do anything rash! Your son will definitely go with you. I haven't even had a chance to be filial to you yet, how could I possibly leave you!"
"It's just carrying some supplies up a mountain road, what's so difficult about that? My son isn't that fussy!"
Su Ding'an had no other thoughts at all and had never considered leaving his parents. He felt that his third brother's words made a lot of sense, so he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, brother is right! I'm not afraid of hard work, I have plenty of strength!"
Zhang Lanhua was surprised that her father-in-law would agree to let her elder brother and sister-in-law stay, and she was very tempted.
That’s the capital city!
She wasn't too keen on going with the group at first.
But before she could even discuss it with her husband, he made the decision for her without her consent!
She was so frustrated!
But her husband had already spoken, so she couldn't step forward and express her opinion.
Because she knew that even if she suggested staying, her stubborn husband would never agree.
Why should she let the Su family despise her for this?
Upon hearing this, Su Yunhai felt somewhat relieved.
He didn't miss the fleeting regret and resentment on his second daughter-in-law's face.
"Second brother's wife, how are you feeling? If you don't want to leave either, you can go back to the capital with your eldest brother and the others. They will definitely take good care of you. Once you get to the capital, you can buy a maid to serve you," Su Yunhai asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lanhua turned deathly pale!
