Chapter 303: Sue them for setting fire to the mountain
Su Yan hadn't eaten mushrooms for a long time. She wanted to, but she didn't have time. "I also want to eat mushrooms, but I have something to do at home."
Qin An hugged Tuantuan and glanced here, but didn't say anything.
"Wait for me to dry some, and I will get some for you when you come back."
"Okay, by the way, eldest sister, I have to trouble you with a few things. I'll help find someone to help my parents do it. I'll give you the money first."
"Okay, this is a small matter."
After Su Yan said this, she added: "One more thing is to help me collect flowers. Any flowers will do, good ones cost a hundred cents per catty. Your family can also pick them by yourself. It doesn't matter if there are many people. Call them according to the flowers."
.”
"I will give you some extra wages then."
When he heard that he was working again, Goudanfu was happy but also a little worried, "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it well as a woman."
"Sister, I don't have to worry about your work. I'll give you a total of ten taels of silver to use for repairing the tomb and paying bills. If you don't have enough, go to the shop to pay for it. I'll inform the accountant later," Su Yan explained.
Goudanfang nodded and said: "Okay, how can I give you those flowers?"
"Take a carriage from the county seat and pull it up. You can see the big tree at Liu Yuxiang's house at a glance."
"become."
Goudan’s mother helped them clean up, and after the carriage left, they went into the yard to clean up again.
Finally lock the courtyard door.

As soon as she got home, Su Yan started working in the kitchen. Qin An stood at the door of the kitchen with a basket on his back, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to chop some firewood."
As long as he had time, he would go back to chop wood. Su Yan looked at him and said, "Let's go after a while."
"I'm not tired." After Qin An said that, he left the yard.
I don’t know how long it took, but it got dark and Su Yan had finished the perfume. She was now looking at the door of the courtyard, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Xiao Cui, come with me to look for it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a dark figure at the entrance of the alley, a tall figure carrying a large bundle of firewood on his shoulders.
She quickly ran over and asked, "Why do you get so many?"
"Not much, there is nothing in the backpack."
Qin An smelled of sweat and said again: "Daughter-in-law, don't come over here, it stinks."
Su Yan stretched out her hand to help him lift the firewood on his shoulder, trying to reduce the gravity. Qin An smiled and held her free hand, "It's not heavy."
"Don't do so much next time. You can still carry it when you are young, but you will get sick from exhaustion when you are old." Su Yan said with concern.
"good."
"Okay, okay, good every time, I carry so much every time, Qin An, I will be angry next time if I do this again."
Hearing his wife shout out her name, Qin An said honestly: "I won't do this next time."
"You are quick to agree." Su Yan helped him put the firewood on the ground when he entered the yard.
Qin An patted the dirt on his body, then took off the backpack from behind and removed the dead leaves on it, revealing the fungi of different sizes inside.
Su Yan hadn't seen it yet, and she was raising her hand to pat the dirt on his shoulder, "Go wash up, I'll go cook..."
Before the sound even fell, I saw the fungi in the basket on my back.
He wasn't going to chop wood today, he was going to find the mushrooms she wanted to eat.
Even at his age, this person can still...make people happy.
Su Yan was moved in her heart, "I just said something casually, and you take it seriously."
"Mushrooms are not hard to find. You can eat them if you want." Qin An said in a low voice.
"You go and wash it, and I'll cook the mushrooms to eat." Su Yan sat on the stone bench with her basket in hand, picking out the dregs one by one.
Zhang Xiu also helped with the work and whispered: "Madam, the master is so kind to you."
"It's pretty good." Su Yan said without any hesitation.
The mushrooms must be cooked before they can be eaten, so she cooked some more, made some into soup, and fried some into spicy and sour seeds.
Shanwei is just as delicious as the food. Su Yan had to eat three bowls of rice before she stopped eating.
I was a little exhausted when I went to bed. I couldn't fall asleep after lying down for a while, so I simply got up and did exercises in the room.
Tuantuan didn't sleep with them these days. Cuilan said it was best to stop sleeping together, otherwise it would be difficult to sleep in separate beds in the future.
Qin An was sitting on the bedside reading a book, watching from the corner of his eye as she stretched out her hand, raised her leg, and looked at her for a while.
My wife’s breasts and butt have grown a lot since giving birth.
His mouth was a little dry.
He said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, don't you want to sleep?"
"I'm full." Su Yan bent down and said.
Before she could straighten up, her whole body was in the air. She exclaimed, and before she knew it, she was on the bed.
Then she saw Qin An taking off his inner clothes, and she immediately understood what he wanted to do.
Qin An leaned down and said hoarsely: "I will accompany you."
…
The next day, Su Yan planned to go to the shop, but before she could go out, a group of officers and soldiers ran in.
She instinctively stood in front of the child, "What's the matter?"
"Some people say you burned the mountains in Shanghe Village."
Su Yan frowned and said, "Who said that?"
"We've been back for two days."
"The villagers said that you went to burn incense in the middle of the night and left before it was put out, causing the entire mountain to burn. Some people who put out the fire were burned to death."
Su Yan's face changed, but she said calmly: "It's impossible. We burned the paper until it was extinguished before leaving, and my husband-in-law was already burning paper money to extinguish the fire."
"Besides, it was cool that night and the weather in the previous few days was not hot. How could the whole mountain be set on fire?"
The officers and soldiers looked businesslike, "Come with us, where is your house?"
"He's not at home, I just need to go." Su Yan followed them.
Along the way, many people gathered around to watch the fun and said some unpleasant things.
But Su Yan ignored it. The paper burning must have been put out that night, and the two of them stayed a little longer because they were afraid of burning the mountain.
Not a sound was heard in the town yesterday.
Whether this is true or false, it's hard to say if it involves a dead person.
She originally thought that the Yamen would embarrass her, but it turned out not to be the case. It was just a business-related inquiry.
Su Yan explained everything. After she finished explaining, she saw the village chief and a man in the village.
The county magistrate sat on it and asked, "Did you see them setting fire with your own eyes?"
The village chief glanced at Su Yan, knelt on the ground and said, "They were the only ones who went up the mountain that night."
Another man answered nervously, "I watched him and his wife go up the mountain to burn paper, and soon I found a fire."
Su Yan stared at the two people and said nothing for a while. The county magistrate added: "This does not prove that they set the fire."
"This was an unintentional act. I'll give the family some money."
At this time, Su Yan opened her mouth and said: "Sir, the women of the common people have been wronged. Can you let me ask them a few words?"
"Yes." The county magistrate agreed.
Su Yan couldn't help but glance at him, why was he so easy to talk to? But since he was easy to talk to, this matter could be found out.
She asked aloud: "When did the fire start?"
The man thought for a while and said, "It's not yet midnight."
"My husband-in-law and I haven't left the village yet."
"I can't remember. It was too dark at that time."
"Did my parents' graves burn?"
"Yes, it's your family's grave."
Su Yan glanced at him and said, "You are a man from the Eryang family, right? Who gave you money to do such a thing?"
"Nonsense! I didn't, it's obviously just you."
"Your Excellency, you can send someone to visit my parents' graves. Let's burn paper money and tear up the surrounding grass first. There must not be much grass ashes there, and it might as well be blown by the wind..."
Before Su Yan finished speaking, the man answered: "It's just the wind blowing."
Su Yan said coldly: "Can it still burn next to the grave if the wind blows?"
