Mu Song couldn't wait to hear Su Tang say that the dyeing colors were not available on the market at present. Because there was no one else in the Xingxing Tang Manor, he sent Su Tang away and took Zhu Wenzhu to help him and went out to buy fabrics. , dye it out quickly.
Su Tang saw that there was nothing to keep an eye on for the time being, so he prepared to take the bus back to Sujiatun that day.
When he was halfway there, he saw the driver stopping the carriage. Jiang Nian opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
Because Mu Song and Zhu Wenzhu both stayed in the dyeing workshop, Su Tang went back this time in a carriage hired by the county. When the carriage driver saw Jiang Nian asking, he quickly explained, "It rained heavily here a few days ago. The water handles Part of the official road has collapsed and is being repaired. Wait for these people to get out of the way and you can pass."
Seeing that summer has entered, there was a heavy rain some time ago. Qingyuan County is originally on the Qingjiang River, but the rain became so strong that part of the official road very close to the river was washed away.
After Lu Qingyun learned of this situation, he asked the laborers to come over to build the road. With so many people working here, the carriages had to wait for the government servants to drive away the people and free them up before the carriages could pass here.
When Jiang Nian heard this, he turned around and said to Su Tang, "Miss, they said they were building a road, and they will leave when there is time."
The driver also said, "This road is not completely repaired yet. It may be a little bumpy for a while. It's just this section. Just go over it and it'll be fine."
Because the road has not been completely repaired, although the carriage can pass it, it is uneven and must be bumpy, that's what the coachman said.
Su Tang heard the coachman's explanation, put down the book in his hand, and nodded.
Here Jiang Nian asked the driver. The man who was working not far away turned his head and saw Jiang Nian in front of the carriage. His original working movements suddenly stopped.
As a result, they stopped moving, and the yamen guard on the side whipped them. "Look at what you are looking for. You can also see the nobleman's carriage. If you don't work hard, you won't have food at noon!"
The man was beaten so hard that he nodded and bowed and pulled the woman beside him, "Fuck, get to work!"
The woman looked excitedly in the direction of the carriage over there, with passionate longing in her eyes, "His father, it's Su Tang, it's her!"
"What did you say? Are you really that dead girl?" Ms. Zhao, who was squatting next to her and picking up stones, raised her head when she heard this.
Finally, she raised her head and was hit with another whip. "It's you again. Do you want to be lazy when you are older? If you don't want to do hard work, let your children and grandchildren take over. Now that you are here, work hard!"
It turns out that these three people are Zhao, Su Erlu and Sun. They were all sentenced to hard labor. To do hard labor locally is to help the county with work, usually building roads or bridges, etc. Most of them use physical strength. There is no wages for working, and a meal will be provided at noon, which is clear soup and little water, just starving to death.
After all, hard labor is a punishment for sinners, and sinners are all guilty. How can we make them live comfortably
The only people who come here to build roads are Su Erlu, Sun and the Zhao family. The rest are building gates and bridges elsewhere.
Mrs. Zhao screamed when she was beaten, and she didn't dare to get angry at the yamen servant, so she scolded Su Erlu and Mrs. Sun next to her, "It's you who brought up that bitch, shameless bitch, my son who seduced me and didn't help me." Serve…”
Sun has always been scolded by Zhao in this way recently, and she has been scolded in this way before. She has long been used to it, and she still looks indifferent and ignores Zhao's scolding.
