Chapter 111 Time to Leave
"Man girl, I didn't prepare any New Year's money for you, but I prepared this jade pendant for you. You must accept it."
Su Man could tell at a glance that the jade pendant was of very good quality and was not an ordinary item, so she did not accept it immediately.
"Are you sure you want to give it to me? You don't want to keep it for your old age?"
"I have plenty of people to support me in my old age. You must accept this jade pendant. It is passed down from my family. I have no children in my life. I only have you and my apprentice. This jade pendant is a pair. I gave my apprentice the jade pendant when he was a child. This one is for you."
Su Man felt warm in her heart, and looked at Old Man Fan and asked deliberately,
"Why? I am as important as your apprentice in your heart now, right?"
Old Man Fan snorted lightly but did not deny it.
"You are just as important as him. Keep it and don't lose it. If you are broke and have no money to spend in the future, you can use it as cash."
"Okay, okay, I will never lose it. No matter how poor I am in the future, no matter how little money I have, I will never pawn it. I will keep it for the rest of my life." Su Man said with a smile.
To her, this jade pendant is a priceless treasure.
Old man Fan was cheered up by her words.
"That's not necessary. If you really run into trouble in the future, just take him as a pawn. Just keep me, an old man, in your heart."
Su Man smiled and said nothing. She would keep it well anyway.
Luo Yun, who was standing beside them, was also at a loss for words when listening to what the two were saying. He shook his head helplessly and said,
"Have you two forgotten me? I am the head of the Imperial Hospital after all, and I won't let my sister end up without money to eat."
His tone was full of teasing. He had heard a lot about Su Man from his master, and after spending the past two days with her, he also liked Su Man very much.
Of course, this kind of love is the love between brothers and sisters, the appreciation between friends, and there is absolutely no love between men and women.
When Old Man Fan heard this, he nodded immediately.
"That's right, you're right. This girl doesn't have any relatives. I'm old and I don't know how many years I can live. When I die, you'll have to take care of this girl. Although she can do everything, she's a woman and it's easy for her to be bullied."
Su Man was deeply moved when she heard this, so she did not refute what Old Man Fan said, but just said,
"Don't worry, you will definitely live a long life."
Old Man Fan smiled and said, "If you live to be a hundred, wouldn't you become an old monster? Okay, okay, you two stop interrupting me. I still have to give New Year's money to my two children."
Seeing that the topic finally fell on them, the two children immediately looked at Old Man Fan.
Old Man Fan smiled and took out two red paper bags and gave them to the two children.
It looks like there are silver bills inside.
Su Man glanced at Old Man Fan, raised her eyebrows and asked,
"You don't have any money, do you? Why are you so generous?"
"I don't have any money, but my apprentice does. This is the first time I give New Year's money to two children. How can I be stingy?"
Su Man finally understood after hearing this. She thought that her previous question was indeed a bit stupid. She should have thought that except Luo Yun, who else would give so much silver to Old Man Fan?
The two children looked at Su Man, and then put the New Year's money away with Su Man's consent.
Su Man then distributed the remaining red purses to other people. Not only Luo Yun and Wei Yan got some, but also the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and even Fu Xiu.
This was the first time for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or several others to receive lucky money. This was the first time they felt this way, this feeling of being valued and treated like family.
They were unable to express their feelings at the moment, and in the end they could only kneel down and kowtow to Su Man.
Su Man was startled, and then said helplessly.
"You better get up quickly, otherwise someone will come and see you like this and get scared. This is New Year's money, everyone gets it, there's nothing to thank for, since you're all family, just keep it safe, and I hope you'll be safe and sound in the new year."
For those people who live on the edge of a knife all year round, peace and safety is the best blessing.
Several people were so moved that they were speechless. When they stood up, they carefully put their purses close to their bodies.
They will definitely cherish and keep this small purse.
Wei Yan was also surprised when he looked at the purse in his hand.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I could receive New Year's money. This feeling is really strange."
"What's so strange about that? I just said that everyone gets a share of New Year's money. I hope you are all safe and sound."
After all, these people are about to do something unknown, so there will definitely be danger. Her most sincere blessing is for them to be safe and sound.
Everyone held their small purses and expressed their feelings, and they were all deeply moved.
Only Fu Xiu looked down at his purse without saying a word. He thought his purse was at least different from the others, but he never expected that they were exactly the same, without any special treatment.
In other words, in Su Man's heart, he is not special.
This realization made him feel very upset and not happy at all.
Just thinking about the day of separation, he said nothing more and just put the purse close to his heart.
At least in his heart, she is different.
After receiving the New Year’s money, we start preparing breakfast.
After breakfast, a bunch of children came to pay New Year's greetings. This is the custom of the New Year in the village. On the first day of the New Year, the children will go to each house early to pay New Year's greetings, just to see if they can get some snacks.
On the New Year's Day, villagers will basically put some snacks on the table and give some to the children when they come over. This will indicate that the family will have many children, grandchildren and be blessed in the future.
Su Man was no exception. She not only prepared various snacks, but also packed a basket full of red envelopes in a small basket.
There were only two copper coins in each red envelope, which was not a lot of money for Su Man, but it was a huge sum of money for the children in the village!
It was already very difficult for the villagers to put some snacks on the table. Everyone was poor, so how could they possibly get red envelopes? Only Suman had them.
So these children were extremely excited when they received the red envelopes. They said all kinds of nice things to Su Man and even invited the two children to play with them.
The two children didn't want to go, they just wanted to stay at home with their father and mother.
Su Man didn't want them to go either, mainly because Xiaobao's wrist injury hadn't healed yet and was still bandaged and splinted, so it would be easy for something to get into trouble if he went out to play.
If Xiaobao can't go, Dabao naturally won't go either, because the two children have always been inseparable.
Su Man didn't want to let the two children stay at home during the New Year, so she packed some snacks and took the two children to play with Gousheng. After all, Gousheng was injured for the two children, how could she not go to check on them? Besides, the two children didn't want to be bored at home.
The two children took a box of flying chess to play with Gousheng, while Su Man taught Lin Yue Niang some details of embroidery. She also brought up some business stories from time to time, as if she was just chatting. But Su Man knew that if she talked too much, Lin Yue Niang would naturally listen.
No matter what, she tried her best to make Lin Yue Niang understand more about management matters.
This New Year's Day, everything seemed to be going perfectly well, especially the two children who were jumping around the whole time, feeling that it was so happy to spend the New Year with their mother and father.
Su Man lived up to everyone's expectations and cooked a lot of food early in the evening, feeding everyone until their bellies were full.
Although Su Man didn't show it on her face, she had already started to think about how to escape next.
That night, she took the fruit directly to find Old Man Fan. Old Man Fan and Luo Yun were boiling medicine in the kitchen.
Old Man Fan knew that she had something to say, so he found an excuse to ask Luo Yun to leave.
Luo Yun narrowed his eyes, "Master, is there something you don't want me to know?"
“Go away!” Old Man Fan waved his hand. “This is our private matter. Please go away and don’t get in the way. It annoys me just by looking at you!”
Luo Yun felt that something was wrong, so he turned his gaze directly to Su Man.
Su Man looked back at him without changing her expression.
"It is true that I have a little personal matter, so please leave first. It is a bit inconvenient for us to have you here."
Seeing the two of them like this, Luo Yun knew that he had to leave. He also didn't know what these two people were going to say, and why they wanted to hide it from him.
After the person left, Su Man looked at Old Man Fan.
"How is it? Have you figured out the situation?"
"I asked clearly, and they said they would leave on the sixth day of the New Year." Old Man Fan lowered his voice and said, "So what should we do next? When will we leave?"
"You can leave on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. You don't have to do anything during these two days. Just do what you need to do every day. You don't have to pack your luggage. You can buy everything slowly after you leave here."
"What?" Old Man Fan was shocked, and then he lowered his voice and said,
"Leaving on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year? Isn't it too late? What if we are discovered by then? Can't we leave earlier?"
"No." Su Man shook her head. "I think Fu Xiu will send someone to keep an eye on me these two days. The restaurant will open on the fifth day of the New Year. If I'm still there during the day on the fourth day, they will definitely let their guard down. We'll leave at night."
In the next two days, she will think about how to escape next, and how to keep Fu Xiu and the others unconscious for a longer period of time.
When Old Man Fan heard this, he suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, your idea is a good one. We can run away at night."
Su Man looked at him, "Are you sure that the information you got is correct? Your apprentice wouldn't lie to you, right?"
"No, no, don't worry, don't worry. I know my own apprentice, he will never lie to me. And what's the point of him lying to me? I didn't let him see that I was just getting information from him." Old Man Fan's tone was very firm, and he was not worried at all.
Seeing that he was so sure, Su Man didn't think much about it. She also felt that Luo Yun would not deceive Old Man Fan. After all, she heard from Old Man Fan that he raised Luo Yun, so Old Man Fan should know what kind of character Luo Yun was.
Su Man felt relieved and relieved. She came out of the kitchen to look for the two children, but as soon as she went out, she saw Fu Xiu being supported by Fu Yi.
Inevitably, their eyes met again.
Su Man paused slightly and wanted to leave immediately, but looking at Fu Xiu's face reflected in the lantern, she somehow said something extra.
"If you have nothing to do, it's better to stay in your room. Your body needs rest right now, and it's not suitable for excessive exercise."
When Fu Xiu heard her concern, the corners of his mouth slightly raised for a moment, and then he nodded gently.
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, I know my own body."
Su Man didn't say anything else and went back to her room. Anyway, she had said all she wanted to say, so if something went wrong, she wouldn't feel guilty.
Fu Xiu watched her enter the room, then turned around and went back to the room by himself without Fu Yi's support. Apart from walking a little slowly, he seemed to have no problems at all.
Fu Yi looked at his master silently. He was quite curious just now. His master was able to walk by himself yesterday, so why did he need his support today? It turned out that he wanted the lady's care.
Fu Yi felt as if he had discovered some incredible secret and was completely shocked.
My master is actually such a person!
the next morning.
Su Man wanted to stay in bed for a rare time, so she didn't get up early. As for breakfast, she had already taken out some vermicelli and buns and asked Fu Si to cook them last night.
I have to say that Fu Si’s cooking skills are very good.
However, Su Man's rare peaceful morning did not go as she wished. While she was still lying in bed, noisy sounds were heard at the door.
The two children also learned from her to stay in bed, and the three of them, mother and children, just lay there and chatted idly.
Now, suddenly hearing the noise at the door, the two children couldn't help but sit up.
"Mom, what's going on? There seem to be a lot of people outside?" Xiaobao asked puzzledly.
"I don't know. Let's get up and go out and take a look." Su Man was just about to get up and put on her coat.
It was at this time that Old Man Fan's voice was heard outside.
"Man girl, come out quickly, someone is looking for you."
"Got it." Su Man responded and quickly put on her clothes, not forgetting her two children.
They put on their clothes and went out. Old Man Fan and his companions had been in the yard the whole time. Hua Niang and Lian Di were at the door with their husband and daughter, and there were also a few villagers whispering.
Hua Niang was crying very sadly, with her eyes red. When she saw Su Man coming out, she fell to her knees.
"Sister Su! Help!"
She was in tears and her sad tone was heartbreaking.
Su Man didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Hua Niang like this, she knew that things must be complicated.
"What's going on? If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. Stop kneeling and get up quickly."
Su Man wanted to help Hua Niang up, but Hua Niang refused to get up no matter what and kept kowtowing to Su Man.
"Sister Su, please, please help me! Save my children! Save my two daughters! Please!"
