Chapter 21 21. Prejudice
Author: Yu Yu doesn’t eat fish
Yan Zhiguo and his entourage were frequent visitors to the town. They gambled, drank, and ate in restaurants, and came to the town every now and then to spend money.
There are hard-working parents and wives in Yan Zhi's country, and they have the most spare money. He walked at the front of the group with a step that he didn't recognize his relatives, his arm was still on the waist of a little girl, and his shoulders were shrugged.
How majestic.
The first time he saw Su Yao, Yan Zhiguo's expression changed and he subconsciously let go of his hand on the girl's waist.
"Brother, why aren't you leaving?" Several young men following Yan Zhiguo looked at Su Yao, a little confused.
Yan Zhiguo put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked sharply at Su Yao, and said harshly: "If you dare to spread this matter, I will make it impossible for you to stay in Xiahe Village any longer."
The people in the town are very discerning, and Yan Zhiguo's affairs will be discovered by others one day. With Yan Zhiguo's attitude, as long as this matter spreads, it will be Su Yao's fault.
Su Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's so majestic. I don't know how many days you can stay in the bureau for messing around with men and women?"
People who are accustomed to being thieves are most afraid of getting into trouble. Su Yao's threat succeeded in making Yan Zhiguo change his face.
"Have the guts", with a blue face, Yan Shoucheng waved his fist at Su Yao, turned around and left with a group of younger brothers.
Cao Gen followed the group of people and passed by Su Yao. He glanced at the things in her hand and smiled mischievously: "I bought so many things. Yan Shoucheng gave you a lot of money, right?"
Can you lift it? I'll take you home?"
Su Yao felt a chill behind him, took a step back, and hid: "No need."
Cao Gen was not angry: "Then be careful on the road."
Passing by each other, Su Yao watched the group of people walk away. Looking at the direction of their backs, they should be heading towards a big hotel in the town.
Not wanting to interact too much with them or cause any trouble, Su Yao gave up the idea of going to eat and hurried to the station.

"Xiao Su, you went to town. Did you just come back?"
As soon as she walked to the door of the patriarch's house, Su Yao saw Grandma Qi. Seeing Su Yao carrying big and small bags with both hands, Grandma Qi asked with a smile.
"Well, I bought some food and drinks."
Grandma Qi glanced at it and saw the suspicion, and asked tentatively: "What big event is going on at home, so many things are prepared."
Su Yao wanted to circle the courtyard wall, but he couldn't get around the patriarch's family. Since Grandma Qi asked, Su Yao didn't hide it: "You also know that the courtyard wall of my old house has almost collapsed. In the past two years, the environment on the mountain has improved.
Wolves and badgers have also begun to appear. Living alone at the foot of that mountain is inevitably a bit dangerous. Now that the autumn harvest is over and everyone is free, I want to take this time to find a few people to help repair the courtyard wall.
one time."
Grandma Qi: "That's right. As a girl, it's not safe to live here. Are you ready to find a house?"
Su Yao smiled suddenly, scratched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My father-in-law said before that Uncle Jinchuan is an expert in this field, and people from several miles around come to him for repairs. I originally planned to come to you tomorrow.
I'm asking about the situation."
Without saying a word, Grandma Qi invited Su Yao to come in: "It's already at the door. There's no need to think about tomorrow. He happens to be at home today. Just ask him directly, which saves him a trip."
Afraid that Su Yao wouldn't agree, Grandma Qi went up to her and took her hand: "You haven't eaten yet, I made more today, just enough for you."
Holding Su Yao with one hand and helping to carry things with the other, Grandma Qi comforted Su Yao: "Before Shoucheng left, he came to our house and said that you were at home alone, so I could help take care of you. You have something to do in the future.
Just come to us, don’t feel embarrassed.”
From rebirth to now, the patriarch and his wife are the people who have given Su Yao the most warmth. Su Yao followed him in and looked at the white-haired Grandma Qi. Her nose felt a little sour. She wanted to say something thank you, but she was afraid it would be too pretentious.
, and finally said in a low voice: "Thank you, Grandma Qi."
Knowing the purpose of Su Yao's visit, the clan leader didn't say anything. He shouted with contentment and called Yan Jinchuan into his room.
"This is Shoucheng's wife. She wants to have something with you."
This was Su Yao's first time dealing with Yan Jinchuan head-on.
Unlike the clan leader who always smiles, Yan Jinchuan has a very serious face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving him an overwhelming aura.
Su Yao sat upright and said, "Uncle, I want to repair the courtyard wall at home. I wonder if you have time to help me."
When Su Yao looked at Yan Jinchuan, Yan Jinchuan also looked at Su Yao carefully.
Yan Jinchuan's daughter-in-law is also a know-it-all in the village. She often listens to others talk about noisy matters. For a long time, Su Yao has been a topic that people in the village can talk about. Naturally, Yan Jinchuan's daughter-in-law has not been left behind. She can't avoid talking to Yan Jinchuan when she goes back.
Mouth.
Yan Jinchuan looked at this girl who didn't seem to have any evil intentions, but she did so many annoying things, and couldn't help but feel a sense of prejudice: "There was no autumn harvest before, and someone in the other village decided to do it.
Let me build a house for them. We have to work on a first-come, first-served basis."
Su Yao was slightly disappointed, but he still had the courage to ask: "When can you clear the queue? I can wait until you are free to repair it."
Yan Jinchuan shook his head: "There are only a few days until winter begins. Once winter comes, it is so cold that it is inconvenient to do anything. We in this industry have also begun to stop working. The few jobs we have taken over this year are...
That’s about the time I’ll be busy. I really can’t say what time it will be.”
Su Yao was discouraged: "Besides you, is there anyone else in the village who can help?"
Yan Jinchuan: "Basically, those who know these jobs will follow me out to work. Others may not be able to help."
Su Yao was discouraged by the continuous rejections, and his face looked a little disappointed.
Grandma Qi came into the house with two bowls of noodles and said helpfully: "It's not a big deal to enclose a courtyard wall. It's not easy for her to be a girl at home. Please help her if you can."
Yan Jinchuan shook his head firmly: "This matter really cannot be scheduled, and the courtyard wall is not a trivial matter. Making adobe and laying the foundation have to be done bit by bit. If I agree now, I won't be able to do it by then."
Time, isn’t it ugly on both sides?”
Seeing that Grandma Qi wanted to help him speak, Su Yao hurriedly spoke first: "Uncle makes sense. It's not something I'm anxious about. It's okay to wait for two more days. I'll come back to you when Uncle Jinchuan is free.
We can do things too."
Seeing that Su Yao was so sensible, Yan Jinchuan didn't stay too long. After making sure that there was nothing else to do, he turned around and left the main room.
Su Yao finished his lunch as happily as possible and left a portion of eggs and sugar for the patriarch's family before leaving.
On the way home, Su Yao's right eye twitched, always feeling that something was about to happen.
