"Dad, we got it."
"Master, we got it."
"Dad, is it really that serious?"
Su Yaohui felt a little itchy and wanted to find out what had happened in the coal mine that made both his daughter and father so taboo.
The old man glanced at him and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just do your job well."
"Everyone, get off!"

As soon as everyone left the upper room, the old man's calmness disappeared.
His shoulders drooped, his face looked sad, and he looked like he had aged ten years.
Seeing this, the old lady's heart suddenly tensed up and she tucked the quilt in for him: "Old man, will this really cost you your head?"
The old man had a terrible headache and sighed heavily: "Alas! Whether I will lose my head or not, now it all depends on God's will."
"Alas, what a disaster!"
If he had known this day would come, he should not have gone to the mountain to fight for the position of manager.
Even if life is harder, it is better than causing the lives of family members to die.
"Then...what should I do?" The old lady was terrified and at a loss.
The old lady has never been to school and doesn't understand the complicated things in the outside world. Although she usually acts very strong, it is only in this family.
Now that she has suddenly encountered such a thing, and most importantly, even her husband looks like he is in great danger, how can she remain calm
I felt a little unsteady.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Su felt a little uncomfortable and calmed down:
"Why rush? I'm just preparing for the worst. Maybe it's not as serious as I thought."
"I'm just a small manager, maybe no one cares about me at all.
I am still lying here well, Dani is also fine, and no one has come to visit me, which means that maybe they don’t care about us little people at all.”
"Really?" The old lady felt a little relieved, but still a little skeptical.
Mr. Su thought for a moment and ordered, "Go kill a chicken and give Dani some good nourishment. This time it's all thanks to her. Without her, I would have lost my life today."
"Our old hens are laying eggs." The old lady was a little reluctant and sat there without moving.
Mr. Su glared at her and asked, "Which is more important, the chicken or me?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go kill him, okay?"
When the old lady saw that he was angry, she immediately got off the kang and went out in her black cloth shoes.

"Humph, you're still killing chickens. Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"
Erni, who was fetching water to wash clothes in the yard, couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw the old lady actually went to the chicken coop that they were not allowed to enter on weekdays to catch chickens.
Liu, who was turning over dried beans, heard it and quickly looked in the direction of the old lady, and hurriedly whispered, "Er Ni, what are you talking about?"
"Your sister suffered so much this time to save your grandfather, and she even injured her hand. It's only right to stew a chicken for her to replenish her body, but you shouldn't be so jealous and talk nonsense."
The old lady caught an old hen that didn't lay eggs often and turned around to walk out of the chicken enclosure.
When he passed by the mother and daughter, he glared at them fiercely and said, "If you have the guts, go to that coal mine and carry your grandfather out and back again!"
"You have no ability at all. All you do is stare at my little things all day long. All you do is eat and eat. Aren't you afraid of eating you to death?"
Even though she was scolded, Liu did not dare to complain, and quickly said in a flattering manner:
"Mom, Erni is just talking nonsense. She is still young and doesn't understand. Please don't take it personally."
"snort."
The old lady snorted coldly and carried the chicken to the kitchen next to the main house.
