Chapter 444: The Merchant Girl (5)
Forget it, there may be some things that are really brought by the blood.
After doing this, Su left the large kitchen shared by the original family and brought back the crockpot.
Coincidentally, Zhang Qiaoqiao was also inside, and when she saw Su Li coming in, she smiled shyly and said hello.
"Sister-in-law, come over and make sweet soup for them?"
Su Li: "Well, brother and sister, what are you doing in the kitchen? I seemed to see you in a daze just now." ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao was a little flustered, and said unnaturally on her face: "I, I.... I'm just going to come over to see if there's any firewood, and I'll chop some more if it's not enough. ”
Su Li glanced at the piles of firewood, smiled, and did not debunk her clumsy excuses.
"There's enough firewood, you don't have to chop it. ”
Seeing that Su Li looked away, Zhang Qiaoqiao seemed to be very relieved.
Hearing the movements behind her, Su Li sneered, how could she make her look like she was bullying someone.
didn't want to talk more to this younger brother and sister who was full of cowardice, so Su Li took the crockpot and left.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiaoqiao grabbed his fingers, and Ai Ai was in front of him, and he stopped talking.
Su Li endured his impatience and asked, "Second brother and sister, is there anything wrong with you?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao hesitated for a while before saying in an expectant tone: "Sister-in-law, you don't like to eat soybean stewed pig's trotters, I, I'll cook it for you..."
When Su Li heard this, he smiled.
Pig's trotters, soybeans, the original family did not have them.
But Su Li is rich, he can buy it if he has money, and Zhang Qiaoqiao's cooking skills are really not very good, and the stewed pig's trotters always have a taste of pig.
In the past, the original owner couldn't eat much, Yuan Jiaming and Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't like to eat pig's trotters, and the remaining big pig's trotters and a pot of pig's trotter soup were not cheap for people in the second room.
No wonder she said that Zhang Qiaoqiao calculated the time and waited for her here, so it turned out to be like this.
At this point every day, it is the time when the original owner comes to stew sweet soup for the dragon and phoenix fetus.
Judging from the memory of the original owner, the people in the second room actually really received a lot of benefits from the original owner, but they didn't know what others said, but what they said was that the original owner was arrogant and always bullied the concubine.
When Su Li heard this, he only said, "No." ”
After speaking, ignoring Zhang Qiaoqiao's lost eyes, he prepared to go out.
A small cannonball-like figure quickly rushed in from outside, and then blocked in front of Zhang Qiaoqiao, like an old hen, stretched out his hand and looked at Su Li vigilantly.
"Auntie, if you want to eat, make it yourself, don't always tell my mother to do it, she is not a descendant of your Su family. ”
Look, a ten-year-old child can say such a thing, Su Li's eyes flashed.
Su Li ignored the angry villain, and instead looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao, "Second brother and sister, did you see what your girl said?"
"When did I instruct you to do something, didn't you insist on making soup for me, I said no. ”
Su Li turned his gaze to the chick again, not consciously bullying the child at all, "Are you deaf, didn't you hear me say no just now?"
The little girl's small body involuntarily took two steps back, and the smiling aunt in front of her gave her a more terrible feeling than at any other time.
Realizing that the aunt was to blame this time, the little girl twisted a few times, and still said stubbornly: "Who told you to always instruct my mother to do this and that." ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao's face changed, and she quickly stopped the chick from continuing, and lowered her head to apologize to Su Li, "Sister-in-law, you, don't be angry with the chick....."
Su Li wrapped his arms around and glanced at Zhang Qiaoqiao deeply, but instead of being as angry as before, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
I only heard Su Li say: "I changed my mind, second brother and sister, don't you want to stew soybean and pig's trotter soup for me, then go do it, and bring it to the room when it's done." ”
"Oh, by the way, the trotters should be cleaned up, otherwise they will always smell of pigs. ”
As if she had caught some important trick from Su Li, the chick puffed out her face and said loudly: "Look, you also said that you didn't bully my mother." ”
Su Li: "Zhang Qiaoqiao, you said it yourself, did I bully you?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao was so anxious that she pulled the chick behind her, and said in a low voice: "Shut up, your aunt is also something you can resist?"
The level of this speech is not at all like the eyes of a country woman.
Looking at Zhang Qiaoqiao's always shrinking her head and brain, her pitiful appearance, if you really talk about it, the strength at hand is not small.
Carrying a chick is the same as carrying a chick.
Zhang Qiaoqiao: "Sister-in-law, how can you bully me, then I, I'll stew for you now?"
Su Li tilted his head and waved his big hand, "Go ahead." ”
"Hey, why don't you go...."
"Sister-in-law, that.... Pig's trotters...."
Su Li: "Well, the pig's trotters should be cleaned up." ”
After speaking, Su Li took the crockpot and walked outside.
Seeing that the sister-in-law didn't understand the meaning of her words as before, Zhang Qiaoqiao couldn't care about anything, and said before Su Li left: "Sister-in-law, there are no pig's trotters at home, and there are no soybeans." ”
Su Li turned around in surprise and exaggerated: "No, then you still said that you want to stew for me to eat?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao: "I...."
Su Li: "I remember that I only gave you half a tael of silver two days ago, you seem to have forgotten to pay me back, since there is no more, then you go out and buy some, and by the way, buy some walnut crisp, this I love to eat, the kind that I want from Almond Hall." ”
After buying these things, I just used up half a tael of silver.
The chick glanced at her mother a little strangely, she never knew that the eldest aunt had given money to her mother.
Not only did she say loudly: "My mother is not your subordinate...."
Just waiting for your words, Su Li immediately answered: "Oh, that's okay, give me back the silver, I'll go out and buy it myself." ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, wanted to say something and swallowed it into her throat, and with two pairs of eyes staring at her, she could only slowly take out an embroidery bag.
Then reluctantly returned the silver that had not yet been covered to Su Li.
After taking the silver, Su Li said casually: "Second brother and sister, don't always come to me in the future, I know that you are kind and want to help me, but you see that your daughter doesn't think so, she always thinks that I am bullying you." ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao's smile was very reluctant, and anyone with eyes could see the distress on her face.
"It's okay, I...."
"So, I decided to buy two servants to come back and serve. ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao was so stunned that she forgot what she wanted to say next.
She wanted to say that she didn't mind helping her sister-in-law do things, and she was willing to make a little effort to get some benefits.
didn't expect Su Li to decide to buy someone.
"Have you told your father and uncle about this?"
"We don't need to buy people in a family like ours..."
Because he was too eager, Zhang Qiaoqiao's always shrunken back straightened a little.
