Chapter 368 Obtaining a Travel Permit
Xu Zhengci was even more unhappy.
"He's your grandfather, and this is how you treat him?"
Xu Yiyi glanced at him sideways, "Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"
Grandpa Xu smiled sinisterly, his eyes fixed on Xu Yiyi.
"Do you dare? I'm not afraid, but do you?"
Grandpa Xu was confident that Xu Yiyi wouldn't dare expose him, so he felt emboldened.
Xu Yiyi had a blank face, revealing no emotion, while Sihai's chubby little hand scratched her.
"You bad guy!"
A noisy commotion rushed towards us, with the little kid yelling and screaming.
"Wait till I grow up and I'll fuck you to death!"
Sihai's big, round eyes glanced at Grandpa Xu on the boat, but he was immediately slapped in the face before he could finish speaking.
"Sihai, some things are better left unsaid in our hearts; there's no need for everyone to hear them."
Sanchuan pretended to lecture his younger brother.
Sihai, with a straight face, continued, "Okay, okay! I'll say it in my heart."
"Hum~"
Xu Yiyi smiled and led the children to the dock.
"Like father, like son; they're all equally disrespectful and lawless..."
Xu Ming snorted coldly.
“Father, how could you tolerate such a little kid acting so arrogantly in front of you? If you don’t want to do it yourself, just tell me. I’ll teach them a lesson.”
Xu Ming really couldn't stand these kids all the time.
“I think this kid has more backbone than you.”
Although Grandpa Xu didn't like these kids either, Sihai was indeed a good one.
"Father, why are you saying this about me?"
Xu Ming snorted, feeling very aggrieved.
Especially when she heard Grandpa Xu praise those children, the unhappiness in her heart instantly welled up again.
Their vigilance increased repeatedly.
What if those children win his favor and then give the whole family's big boat to that family?
He couldn't accept it.
……
"Don't say what Sihai just said in front of the uncles and elders in the clan. They'll say that your elder sister didn't raise you well."
Er'er pinched Sihai's cheek.
The clinic was filled with the bitter aroma of mugwort and chamomile.
As Xu Yiyi carried Wu Yuan across the threshold, Er'er followed closely behind.
Wu Yunzhi's withered fingers traced patterns on the parchment, as he contemplated his route.
"The Lingnan Road is a godforsaken place. The miasma is not the main problem; the real problem is the large number of bandits."
As he was muttering to himself, he heard a noise behind him.
Wu Yunzhi raised an eyebrow, "Did you discuss this with your older sister?"
Er'er smiled and nodded somewhat shyly.
After all, he swore yesterday that he wouldn't go.
Xu Yiyi stepped forward and looked at the parchment.
"Carrying the canal".
She suddenly spoke up, pointing her finger at the waterway map, "First, take a boat to the prefectural city, then board an official ship at Changsheng Wharf and head south to Pei County to change to a carriage. This journey will be much safer than traveling by land, except that the sea is rougher."
Xu Yiyi often pondered the route and even discussed it with Qingshan.
So even though I haven't walked these roads, I know a little about them.
“Uncle Qingshan has a caravan heading south. I wonder if I could ask Uncle Qingshan to let you go south with the caravan? That would be safer.”
Wu Yunzhi's eyes widened: "That would be perfect. After all, I get seasick, and having someone to look after me will put your mind at ease."
After saying that, Xu Yiyi turned her head and glanced at Er'er.
The twelve-year-old girl has never traveled far from home in her life.
Er'er quietly tugged at her older sister's sleeve: "We need the household registration book to get the travel permit; it's at the bottom of your trunk, sister..."
"I already took it."
Xu Yiyi pulled out the household registration book from her bosom.
"Let's go find Secretary Zhou now to get our travel permits."
