"The group of guests finally left?" Jun Wen was sitting in Ye Niang's room and talking to his mother. When he saw his father come back, he hurriedly asked.

"Well, I'm back." Su Zhan nodded and agreed, and smiled and took out the four-stop money and put it on the table, saying to his wife and children: "I finally didn't take any risk in vain. I told them that the food that was sold to others was only 1,500 yuan, and they gave them a full four-stop money; including the profits that could be obtained by selling to others, I made a total of three-stop money!

Don’t say that business is not easy to do now, even if it is easy to do business, you have to work hard all night to make so much profit. Today is really profitable.

You guys say, are we celebrating the luck brought by the Tang army to victory? If this is true, put a tablet for the soldiers who died in battle in the yard and worship them."

"How could it be a celebration of the luck brought by the Tang army's victory? Those who came to have dinner must be Han Turks who served the great cannibals. Winning the Tang Dynasty was not a good thing for them, so where did they get good luck?" Meili smiled.

"Precisely because the victory of the Tang Dynasty was not a good thing for them, they left their luck and gave money to our family, so that our family would have good luck." Su Zhan said again.

"Yeah, it makes sense to say this." Su Junwen smiled.

"There's a big deal!" Meili cursed with a smile: "Our family is lucky and has nothing to do with others. It's all your dreams.

And no matter where our family’s luck comes from, Mr. Lang must not set up tablets for soldiers who died in battle at home.”

"I understand." Su Zhan knew that his wife was considering her family and was worried that someone would accidentally cause trouble by seeing her. Even though she was unhappy, she agreed.

"If you are truly grateful to the Tang army soldiers, you will just kill pigs and sheep and entertain the soldiers after they fight back to Saiye City, but you must not set up a tablet." Meili said again.

"I understand." Su Zhan agreed again, and was about to speak again when he suddenly heard another shout coming from the front.

"This is Lao Li's shouting. Calculate the time. It's time for him to come. I'll give him the food he wants to buy first and talk to you later." Su Zhan said, because this is also a common thing, it happens once a day, and he left the house without waiting for his wife to respond.

"It's too busy cooking for these old acquaintances and can't make a lot of money." Merry didn't care about her husband's actions, but complained.

"Mom, there is no way to do this. The business is getting worse and worse. If you don't cook for your old acquaintances, you won't make any money. Our family also has to spend money on food and clothing. It's a little bit to earn," Su Qinwen advised.

She is fifteen years old this year and is already old enough to get married. Although the young man her parents liked at the time were killed in the massacre when the cannibals entered the city two years ago and could not find a suitable partner, she has not yet been married, but she is also sensible.

"I can only think like this. Oh, you have to spend a lot of money to buy beef to celebrate the victory of the Tang army. If you hadn't made four jin of money with these suckers today, your family would have completely lost their savings." As he said, Meili grabbed the money in his hand, pushed open the door and put it in the dark room.

"It would be better to have more suckers like this." Su Junwen said with a smile, turning his head to look in the direction of his mother and trying to speak again, but as soon as she looked over, she felt as if her neck was being pinched, and the expression on her face became very scared and pale.

"You are..."

...

...

"You're less meat?" A middle-aged man stood in the front hall, took the things handed over by Su Zhan, and weighed them for a few minutes.

"It's indeed less than usual. It's usually two taels, but today it's only one taels and five cents." Su Zhan said without the intention of cheating Lao Li.

"Why are you missing five cents?"

"Just less than a quarter of an hour before you, three suckers came. I gave me more money, so I cooked some more dishes, cut a few more taels of meat, leaving only one or five cents. It was indeed a little less. Isn't it okay to charge you only half of the money today?"

"Cheng, Cheng." Hearing Su Zhan's words, Lao Li, who had a bad look, immediately smiled and said, "I originally wanted to tell you that I would give me less meat from tomorrow, and you would give me less. It's a good thing."

"It's a coincidence." Su Zhan also said with a smile, and then said, "Why are you eating less meat?"

"Oh, there is not much business and you can't make money, so you have to eat less meat." Old Li sighed. He is the leader of a group of laborers in the city, and he makes money by helping others carry things. After the big cannibals entered the city, everyone's life was getting worse and worse, so they were unwilling to hire laborers. They would rather move slowly by themselves, so of course he would not earn much money.

"Apart from the Huayuelou places, other stores are getting worse and worse in their business. Even several stores in the Li family have lost money and closed down. How can our business be better!

By the way, let your wife and daughter be more careful." He said again: "I heard that there are big soldiers in the north of the city who are forced to do anything, and they are not punished too much; in the future, the big soldiers in the city will probably be even more unruly. Don't let your family go out. Even we have to avoid big soldiers when walking."

"I understand." Su Zhan nodded immediately.

"Actually, there is still a place where you can make money, which is to bring things for the big cannibals. But I was afraid that they would fight with the Tang army again and recruit us all as civilians, so I didn't dare to go. Alas, it's dangerous to make money, and if you don't have a dangerous situation, you can't make a lot of money. Life is just like this, and you'll spend less than two days a day." Old Li sighed a few more times, took out the money from his waist and handed it to Su Zhan.

"Let's go slowly." Su Zhan felt very heavy when he heard Lao Li's words. He took the money and said casually, put the money into his waist, closed the doors and windows, and walked towards the backyard.

"Do you want Qin Wen to live in the dark room again?" Su Zhan thought seriously.

He was thinking that he had already arrived in front of the bedroom door. He pushed open the door and was about to walk in, but suddenly he found that his wife and children were standing by the wall, and there was a person behind him who could not see his face clearly. He was about to shout when someone grabbed his neck, and a sound came: "Don't scream, if you scream, the whole family's life will not be saved."

"Hero, I don't know who the hero is, what are you doing in my house? If you want money, I will immediately give you all the money from my family." Su Zhan took a deep breath and said.

"We don't want money and are not interested in your wife and children. We just want to know that He Pu, Shi Xin, and Zhao Ping were in your store just now, and they all said it." The man who grabbed his neck let go of his hand and said to him. This man was wearing a black dress, a mask on his face, and only had a pair of eyes exposed. Not only him, but the other person also wore this way.

"Hero, I don't know this."

"You don't know?"

"Hero, I really don't know." Su Zhan said repeatedly: "They came to the villain's shop. The villain was having dinner at the time. Suddenly, he heard someone's greeting and hurried over... Finally, they left. The villain came back with the money. The villain really didn't know anything."

The man was about to speak again, but then another person walked in and whispered a few words in his ear. "Didn't you say that the business in the store is not good? Why are you still eating beef?" The man's tone became suspicious again.

"Hero, the villain is happy today, so I bought some beef and came back to celebrate."

"Celebrate? What kind of thing to celebrate?"

"This," Su Zhan didn't dare to say: Who knows what these people are, and how can they have a good life if they angered them? But he made up one of them and was afraid of being exposed. After thinking about it, he said: "Hero, I am celebrating the Tang army's defeat of the Dashi Army."

"To celebrate the Tang army's defeat of the Dashi Army? Do you want the Tang army to win?" the man was stunned for a moment and asked again; his voice seemed a little softer.

"Of course." Su Zhan simply gave up and said: "The rule of the great cannibals is getting worse and worse, far less than that of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they all hope that the Tang Dynasty will win the battle and recover the Shauye City."

"So that's it." The man whispered and asked again, "You really don't know?"

"I really don't know. Alas, when I was hiding outside the front hall, I seemed to hear them talking about whether to lead troops to Gukou. I don't know what the middle-aged man is called, but it seems that he will go to Gukou soon." Su Zhan remembered another thing and said quickly.

"Are you saying true?" The man's eyes, which were about to dim, lit up again, and he asked hurriedly.

"I didn't hear it clearly, it seemed like this, I couldn't make sure." Su Zhan said hurriedly again.

The man asked a few more questions, and when he saw that Su Zhan must have really not known, he stopped asking. He was determined to stand behind Meili and Su Qinwen and walked over to the family of three, "I'm sorry today, I'm disturbing you. I'll compensate you for this little money." As he said that, he took out a piece of silver from his waist, put it on the table, and then walked out of the house with the other two.

"But remember, you can't tell anyone that we have been here. If you let us know that you will reveal our whereabouts at will, your whole family's life..." The man walked to the door and turned his head and said.

"The little one understands, the little one understands, and will never tell anyone that some heroes have been here tonight. Our whole family gathered in the house tonight and talked, and nothing else happened." Su Zhan said quickly.

"You are very obedient." Hearing his words, the man smiled and said in a low voice: "It would be great if everyone was as obedient as you, whether they supported the Tang Dynasty or not.

"Let's go." The man came to his senses, whispered again, and walked out of the room. The other two hurriedly followed him out. Then a few sounds came from outside the room, and then they were completely silent.

"I'm scared to death." After they left for a while, Su Qinwen looked around in the yard and confirmed that there was no one. Then he completely relaxed and said, covering his chest.

"I was frightened, too." Meiri was also frightened and sat on the bed and gasped loudly.

"How did they come from?" Su Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief and asked immediately.

"You go out to cook for Lao Li. I was about to pick up the money and put it in the dark room when they suddenly appeared. They first grabbed Qin Wen and me and him, threatened us not to speak, and then let us stand by the wall, and another person stood behind us.

Then the person who asked you asked us, but we heard what the guests said. We didn't even go in the front hall, of course we didn't hear anything, so we told the man truthfully. The man asked several times, and saw that we didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't ask again. Then you came back." Merry roughly said the process.

"What do they do?" Su Junwen asked.

"I don't know, I've never seen such a person." Su Zhan shook his head.

"I just watched it. They were very impatient when they asked you what you didn't know what you said, but after you said that their attitude seemed to have changed a little and improved after celebrating the Tang army's defeat of the cannibals." Meili said suddenly.

"Really?" Su Zhan asked.

"I feel the same as my mother," Su Zhenwen also said: "Just after you said you would celebrate the defeat of the Great Cannibals in the Tang army, their voices became less severe, and in the end they even put down a piece of silver."

When Su Zhan heard his wife and daughter say this, he thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. "Are they the rebels?"

The rebel army was a person who had been resisting the rule of the cannibal in the city. He occasionally killed the cannibal soldiers in remote places, or assassinated the cannibal officials, and steals things from the cannibal warehouses. Most of the people in the city had heard of the rebel army, but few people had seen it, and the Su family had never seen it before.

"It's probably the case," said Merry. "Otherwise, you won't hear any words you say change. And so they forced the guests to ask them what they said: they want to know what the cannibals are going to do."

"It would be great if they were really rebels. Oh, why didn't I listen to those guests more and tell them more news and do my part to resist the great cannibals." Su Zhan said. He now supports all forces against the great cannibals. Since the rebels resist the great cannibals, he of course also supports it.

"If you are found eavesdropping, will you still be alive? Tell them one thing you have already contributed to the resistance to the cannibals, don't think of anything else." Merry said again.

“That’s right.”

"They are quite generous." Meili completely recovered, walked to the table and picked up the silver and weighed it a few times, and smiled, "This piece of silver is more than five taels."

"So much?" When Su Zhan heard his wife's words, he was surprised and walked over to pick up the silver.

"It's really good today." Su Zhan weighed it for a few minutes and said with a smile: "I can get five taels of silver once if I'm scared, but I'd rather be scared once a day."

"Don't say that!" Meili said immediately. Although five taels of silver are a lot of money for her family now, she is still willing to live a peaceful life, not wanting to be frightened often, and is even more unwilling to have anything to do with those who resist the big food.

"I understand." Su Zhan agreed and handed the silver to his wife. "You can put it up."

"I'll let it go." Meili picked up the four-cent coins again, and because it was getting late, she took her daughter back to her house to rest.

"Zhengwen, don't write this in your diary." On the way, Meili told her daughter again.

"I understand." Su Qinwen understood that it was her mother who was worried that her diary would cause trouble by others, so she did not refute it and agreed. But she thought to herself: "I must write such a strange thing in my diary, but they can't understand it anyway."
