Chapter 130 Dismissal
In this matter, Su Yaoguang respected Zhang Zhaodi's decision.

Wei and Zhang Laosan were her parents, and had given her life. As her daughter, Su Yaoguang could only unconditionally support her decision, but could not make it for her.

Zhang Zhaodi was already feeling sorry for him, and the words "send away the beggar" were like pouring a bucket of cold water on her, calming her down.

"Since you don't like it, then I won't give it to you," Zhang Zhaodi said. "Just make a scene. The officers are outside. If you make a scene, they'll immediately arrest you and throw you in jail. That jail is full of death row prisoners. If you get sick, there's no one to treat you. If you're locked up with them, you'll only end up dead."

Hua pulled Zhang Jizong and said, "It's too unlucky here. We have to go back to the village quickly, otherwise what if the child gets infected with the disease?"

"Fifty kilograms. Give us fifty kilograms of cornmeal and twenty kilograms of rice, and we'll leave right away," Zhang Jizong said. "You'll also have to send a car to take us back."

"I only have 50 kilograms in total. I'll give it to you. The rest of us are starving! I said 20 kilograms, not even one kilogram more." Zhang Zhaodi said, shouting outside, "Brother officer..."

"Alright, alright, twenty pounds is twenty pounds," Wei interrupted Zhang Zhaodi. "We walked for hours just now. If we walk for a few more hours, our old bones will give out. You have to take us back."

"Let me take you there!" said Wang Huanzhi.

"No. You are weak. Once you are infected with the disease, you will be more likely to get sick than ordinary people." Zhang Yingdi disagreed.

"I'll take you there!" Su Yaoguang said, "I'm not driving an ox cart this time, I'm driving a horse cart. I need to go there and come back quickly."

Zhang Laosan looked at Su Yaoguang, his eyes full of calculation: "Yaoguang girl is getting more and more beautiful. You haven't proposed yet, right? I have a nephew..."

"Grandpa, I'm already married." Su Yaoguang interrupted Zhang Laosan and said to Zhang Pandi and Zhang Yingdi beside him, "Could you please ask my second and third aunts to bring out 20 kilograms of cornmeal and 5 kilograms of rice?"

Zhang Laosan's face was filled with displeasure: "Why is she getting married so young? She's such a good girl, but they don't even help her find a good family. It's better not to let outsiders take advantage of her than to..."

Zhang Zhaodi's eyes were full of disgust.

If I could exchange this blood, I really want to cut off ties with them.

Hua looked at the clothes on Su Yaoguang, her eyes full of jealousy: "Yaoguang girl, we don't have much food, but we should have enough clothes, right? Look at our clothes, they are all torn, and you don't even know how to buy a few sets of clothes for us elders."

"Aunt, we can't even pay the rent for our shop. How about you lend me some money to help me get by? Once our business makes a profit, I'll buy you some clothes."

"Stingy." Hua curled her lips. "With such a big store, who would believe you if you said you had no money?"

"We don't own this big store. It's just bad luck that we encountered this natural disaster just after opening our business. You just saw it. Our store has no business except for patients now."

Su Yaoguang escorted them back to the village. On the way back, they kept asking questions, but Su Yaoguang feigned indifference due to the strong wind. She urged the horses on, shaving at least half the hour's journey. When she dropped them off at the village, the villagers, hearing the commotion, came out to watch. They saw Su Yaoguang unload twenty kilograms of cornmeal and five kilograms of rice, then drive off.

"Zhang Laosan, who was it that just brought you back and gave you so much food?"

"My granddaughter," Zhang Laosan said proudly, "My eldest daughter and granddaughter opened a big shop in the city. They are very rich! This time, they even used a big carriage."

"Then why did you come back? Why don't you enjoy yourself in the city?" the villager asked sourly.

Zhang Laosan snorted coldly: "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse. I have sons and grandchildren, why should I live with someone else? My daughters only need to bring things home, and we can't rely on them for anything else."

"I don't think he doesn't want to live here, but his daughter won't let him! Zhang Zhaodi is not a pushover. They might want to take advantage of her, but she might not let them!" "Bullshit, my daughters always listen to me. They have to do whatever I tell them to do..."

"Dad Baoshan, the children are hungry. Let's go in and get something to eat!" Hua looked at the cornmeal and rice on the ground and swallowed her saliva.

"I don't think it's the child who's greedy, it's you. You do nothing all day and are just lazy and gluttonous. How could you not choke to death?" Wei grumbled to Zhang Jizong beside her, "Hurry up and move the things in. Do you want everyone in the village to know that we have food?"

Although most of the villagers have surplus food because they grow their own crops, it is unknown how long this natural disaster will last, so we must hold on.

Su Yaoguang sent Zhang Laosan and the others off and drove the carriage back. When she passed the official road, she saw someone trying to stop the carriage, so she quickly drove the horse around the corner and rushed past those people.

In this situation, you must not be too kind and you cannot give rides to pedestrians on the roadside.

As she rushed past those people, she vaguely heard cursing. It was obvious that she had successfully avoided trouble just now.

Su Yaoguang rushed back to the city before dark.

After entering the city gate, I relaxed my body and mind and was no longer in such a hurry.

When she passed an alley, she saw several tall and strong men stopping a thin man wearing a veil hat. She had seen that figure before; it was Master Zizhan.

She rushed over in her carriage: "What are you doing?"

When the men saw Su Yaoguang appear, their eyes stayed on Su Yaoguang's carriage, with green light in their eyes.

In this chaotic situation today, there are many miserable people and many people are robbing and looting.

"You little bitch, I told you not to meddle in other people's business, so I might as well take you in." The men rushed towards Su Yaoguang.

Su Yaoguang looked back at "Master Zizhan" and saw that he was standing in a relatively safe position, so he ignored him and started fighting with the strong men with his fists.

A punch knocked a strong man's head crooked.

Everyone looked at the strong man flying out with shocked expressions.

They were only stunned for a moment, but soon they had no chance to be stunned because Su Yaoguang's fist swung towards them.

Su Yaoguang knocked down the four strong men in no time. She turned around and looked at Master Zizhan standing in the corner and said, "Are you okay?"

Master Zizhan bowed to Su Yaoguang and said, "Thank you very much, young lady. I will come to thank you again another day. I have urgent matters to attend to today, so I will take my leave now."

"Wait a minute..." Su Yaoguang stopped him. "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Master Zizhan froze in his tracks, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm going to Jiuhua Hutong. It's just up ahead, very close."

"It's just on our way, I'll give you a ride, come on in!" Su Yaoguang moved to the side.
