Chapter 446 My Dad Is Gone

Gu Fei raised her eyebrows, "Sister Zhaodi, I remember you have been married for more than ten years, how come your parents and your brother didn't starve to death in these ten years?"

"And you were not there during the journey to escape the famine, how did they survive?"

Zhaodi argued anxiously: "They survived because my two sisters were sold. There is really no other way now. This is not as good as home. At least there are a few acres of land."

Gu Fei looked at Zhaodi and suddenly felt that she shouldn't think that this woman could be saved.

She said coldly: "My chili powder is only for my family, not for sale!"

Tie Niu stood awkwardly by the side and pulled his mother, "Mom, forget it, find another job."

Zhaodi also twisted, "Then give me the silver."

Tie Niu looked at Gu Fei, and Gu Fei said coldly, "No, I'll give this silver to my aunt!"

Tie Niu's face turned red. It was wrong to save private money. After Gu Fei said this, he quickly pulled his mother out.

The mother and son talked for a long time on the roadside, and finally Zhaodi left. Tieniu came back dejected.

Gu Fei glared at Tieniu, "Are you stupid? How old are you? Even if you want to give money to your mother for her old age, it's not time yet."

"I won't give you this money now!"

If this goes on, Tieniu will also become the target of that family's blood sucking. Today, she relied on her status as an elder to become the villain!

Tieniu looked at Gu Fei gratefully, "Cousin, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I have no choice. Who makes her my mother!"

Gu Fei rolled her eyes, "Then has she ever thought about you brothers? Gangzi is only eight years old and has no mother. Can life be easy?"

Tieniu's face darkened, and Gu Fei waved her hand, "Forget it, go and get busy."

The sky was gloomy, and it started to rain soon.

As soon as it rained, more than half of the pedestrians on the street disappeared, and there were not many guests eating in the evening.

At 8pm, Gu Fei was thinking about whether to close the store early, when suddenly someone walked in from the rain.

Gu Fei looked and found it was Su Chen.

He was soaked and walked into the store in a daze.

Gu Fei was shocked and hurried out, "Mr. Su, what's wrong with you?"

Did you fail the exam?

It seems that the results are not announced yet?

Su Chen's eyes were originally straight, but when he saw Gu Fei, his eyes turned slightly.

He suddenly hugged Gu Fei, "Xiao Fei, my father, my father is gone--"

Gu Fei was about to reach out and push Su Chen away, but her hands stopped in mid-air.

No wonder Su Chen looked like this, it turned out that such a big thing happened.

Her hand stopped in mid-air, slowly fell down, and gently patted Su Chen on the back. She didn't know what she could say now, and could only give Su Chen some comfort.

Su Chen ran all the way from the palace.

In the evening, he received a letter from his uncle, saying that refugees in Xiqin County were rioting, attacking the government office and robbing the official warehouse. His father and the yamen runners were guarding the official warehouse and were beaten to death by the refugees.

There was grain in the official warehouse, but not much. These grains were the salaries of officials and yamen runners. If the government could not even pay the salaries, the yamen runners would flee, and the entire Xiqin County would fall into chaos.

So County Magistrate Su led the yamen runners to guard the official warehouse.

But those refugees were already starving, and they took hoes, sickles, and machetes and chopped anyone they saw.

County Magistrate Su was a scholar, and he was powerless. After the yamen runners around him were chopped down, he was hit on the forehead with a hoe and died.

Although the official warehouse was finally defended.
