"Dad, we know."
"Master, we understand."
"Dad, is it really that serious?"
Su Yaohui felt a little itchy, and wanted to find out what happened in Coal Mine that made both her daughter and her father so taboo.
The old man glanced at him sideways. "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just do your duty."
"Everyone, get down!"

As soon as everyone walked out of the upper room, the old man's calm demeanor disappeared.
His shoulders were drooped, his face was full of sadness, and he seemed to be ten years older.
Seeing this, the old lady's heart suddenly tightened and she helped him tuck the quilt in. "Old man, is this really going to make you lose your head?"
The old man had a headache and sighed heavily, "Oh! If you can't lose your head, now you can only rely on God's will."
"Oh, what a disaster from heaven!"
If he had known this day, he should not have gone to the mountain to compete for the position of this little steward.
Even if life is harder, it is still better than dragging down the family and losing their lives.
"Then... what should we do?" The old lady was frightened and at a loss.
The old lady has never read a book and does not understand the complicated things outside. Although she behaves very strongly on weekdays, it is only in this home.
Now that she suddenly encountered this kind of thing, the most important thing was that even her husband looked like he was in danger. How could she remain calm?
The whole person felt a little unsteady.
Old Master Su felt a little uncomfortable seeing her like this, and calmed down:
"What's the rush? I'm just preparing for the worst. Maybe things are not as serious as I thought."
"I'm just a little steward, maybe no one cares about me at all.
I am still lying here well, Danie is also well, and no one has come to the door. This shows that people may not care about us little people at all. "
"Really?" The old lady felt a little relieved, but still a little doubtful.
Old Master Su thought for a while and ordered, "Go kill a chicken and give Danie a good meal. This time it all depends on her. Without her, my old life would be lost today."
"Our old hens are all laying eggs." The old lady was a little reluctant and sat still.
Old Master Su glared at her. "Is the chicken more important, or me?"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to kill. Just go and kill, okay?"
When the old lady saw that he was angry, she immediately got off the kang and went out wearing black cloth shoes.

"Huh, even if you kill a chicken, you're not afraid of dying."
Ernie, who was fetching water and washing clothes in the yard, could not help but curl his lips when he saw that the old lady actually went to catch chickens in the chicken coop that they were not allowed to enter on weekdays.
When Madam Liu, who was drying dried beans, heard this, he quickly raised his head and glanced in the direction of the old lady, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "Ernie, what did you say?"
"Your sister suffered such a big loss this time to save your father and even injured her hand. It's right to stew a chicken to replenish her. I don't want you to be so jealous and talk nonsense."
The old lady caught an old hen that usually didn't lay eggs frequently, turned around and walked out of the opposite chicken stall.
When passing by the two mother and daughter, they glared at each other fiercely. "If you have the ability, go to that Coal Mine and carry your father out, and then carry him back!"
"You don't even have any skills. You can keep an eye on me all day long, and you can eat and eat, but I'm not afraid of eating you to death."
Even after being scolded, Madam Liu did not dare to complain and quickly tried to please Underground Passage:
"Mom, Ernie is nonsense. She is still young and not sensible. You must not be as knowledgeable as her."
"Hmph."
The old lady snorted coldly and took the chicken to the kitchen next to the main room.
