Su's father, Su Dapeng, is a tough middle-aged man, who is more serious and doesn't like to laugh, and he doesn't like to talk much. However, he was a good hand at working in the fields, and he served the crops very well. The eldest brother of the Su family is called Su Baizhu, and his personality is somewhat similar to Su Dapeng, he is a sturdy man, and he will go to the town to do odd jobs in addition to going to the field on weekdays.

The two had just returned from the field, sweating profusely, and their trouser legs and shoes were covered with dirt. Su Xueyun handed them two glasses of water, bowed his head and said solemnly: "Dad, big brother, you drink saliva, I'll go fetch water for you to wash." ”

The two of them were surprised when they saw her, Su Baizhu drank all the water in one gulp, and hurriedly stopped Su Xueyun and said, "Xiu'er, you are just right, don't be busy, I'll just go fetch water." By the way, why didn't I see your sister-in-law? ”

Su Xueyun said: "Sister-in-law, she is not feeling well, eldest brother, you can wash and go to see her, I'm fine, this little work is not in the way." ”

After Su Xueyun finished speaking, he neatly brought up two basins of water, and when the weather was hot, the Su family father and son were not allowed to mix hot water, and directly washed their faces and hands with cold well water, and sat on the stool and sighed comfortably. Su Dapeng looked at Su Xueyun, frowned and said, "Eat more for dinner, don't think about those messes anymore, and then dare to toss yourself and beware of me beating you!" ”

Su Xueyun lowered her head and responded in a low voice, "I know, Dad." ”

Su Baizhu, who was next to him, sighed and said, "Xiu'er, don't think about the past, take care of your body, and let your mother and your sister-in-law show you a good family affair." ”

Su Baizhu remembered the three good relatives who had been destroyed, his face was a little ugly, he sighed again, got up and went back to the house. He originally had a good relationship with the three brothers of the Liang family, and he was the only one in the family who did not object to his sister and Liang Cheng. But the Liang family is really too poor, and there will always be a day when they owe huge debts, but they have to pay off the third child's education, and the family is so poor that a little silver is spent on the third child, and they don't think that his sister has reached the age of saying goodbye. He remembered that once he privately approached Liang Cheng to ask Liang Cheng what his plans were, but Liang Cheng actually felt that their Su family hated the poor and loved the rich, and he was quite dissatisfied. Since then, he has not looked down on the Liang family, everyone is a peasant family, the Liang family is in debt and studying, but he can't make much money, it looks like a bottomless pit, and no one can marry his own girl, doesn't that push the girl into the fire pit? ! He only hated Liang Cheng for deceiving his sister's heart with clever words, but he didn't know what to do for his sister, if it weren't for his sister's reputation, he would have beaten Liang Cheng a long time ago!

Su Dapeng looked at Su Xueyun and was also upset, so he simply got up and went back to the house. Su Xueyun blinked, thinking that the original owner had really made his family angry about destroying the three marriages, except for the soft-hearted Liu family, who was easy to be coaxed, it was not easy for others to be coaxed. However, this was the first day of the crossing, and Su Xueyun was not discouraged, so she turned around and went into the stove room to help the Liu family cook.

At dinnertime, Chan made a few more trips to the latrine, and then lay back on the bed. Su Xueyun dialed some food and sent it to her, and said with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Do you want to find Lang Zhong to come over and have a look? ”

Chen said weakly: "No need, this is a minor illness, and Ming'er can get better." ”

Su Xueyun put the food in front of her and said, "Then sister-in-law, let's eat some food, I specially clipped it for you, I have been taken care of by my sister-in-law so much before, and I want to take good care of my sister-in-law." ”

"Uh...... Let's put it there for now, I'll eat it later. Chen smelled the fragrant food and wanted to eat it in a big gulp, but her stomach was twisting and hurting, so she had no appetite, so she had to send Su Xueyun away first. But after Su Xueyun left, how could she think and feel that Su Xueyun's words were wrong, as if Su Xueyun knew about her spitting, so she also saluted her back. In the end, she was a thief, and when she looked at the dinner again, she always felt that there was dirt in it, and suddenly her stomach churned, and it hurt again.

At the dinner table, Liu's tone was not very good when he mentioned Chen, and he pointed out that the bowl of stewed eggs was made by Chen's and was originally intended for Su Xueyun to eat. In this way, Su Baizhu, who was about to enter the house to accompany his daughter-in-law after eating two bites, frowned, gave up his original plan, and thought of Chen's aggrieved and pitiful appearance when he came back, and he really didn't know what to say. He was busy with the farm and felt sorry for his daughter-in-law who didn't let her go to the field, but his daughter-in-law couldn't even cook well at home, and almost made his sister sick, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Xueyun picked up vegetables for them, picked a few light topics, and talked about some interesting things in the village. After a while, I saw that Su Baizhu's face was much better, and Liu was even more smiling, saying that the girl at home should be so lively and likable, and even Su Dapeng's attitude towards her eased a little. Su Xueyun seized the opportunity and whispered to the Liu family in the stove room about being a concubine for the old man while she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

She pulled Liu's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, I heard what you said to your sister-in-law, there is an old man who is willing to pay twenty taels of silver to buy me as a concubine." Mother, I'm so scared, that man is older than my father, I'm ...... I don't want to be a concubine for him......"

Liu Shi was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Su Xueyun's expression, but took her hand and said, "Xiu'er, did you hear it?" This is also a helpless thing, there are three families in front of the family to propose marriage, although there is nothing bad outside, but others think that our eyes are on the top of the head, and they can't look down on the people in the village. Your sister-in-law asked someone to inquire about this household for many days, and the others are either to fill the house for people and be a stepmother, or to be a daughter-in-law for fools, it is not as good as this family. Although this family is a concubine, your sister-in-law said that his daughter-in-law can't give birth, as long as you give birth to a son in the past, you will be stable, and no one can treat you badly. The man is a little older, but ...... There are no other good people, at least you don't have to suffer hardships when you marry this family, I heard that you will ask the little girl to serve you, just look at the people who are willing to pay twenty taels of silver to hire you. Don't worry, these twenty taels of silver will be given to you, and your father and mother will prepare a dowry for you, and you won't be sad after you get married. ”

Su Xueyun shook her head, "Mother, the concubines are all bought and sold, and they don't have to be responsible for selling me or beating me to death when the time comes, mother, please, I won't marry!" ”

Liu remembered the words that Chen said in his ear, and suddenly said angrily: "You tell your mother, are you still thinking about that damn Liang Cheng?" What kind of ** soup did he pour you so that you would rather ruin your reputation and not get married? He's married, why don't you understand? ”

Su Xueyun hurriedly said, "Mother, what do you want!" Since I said that I don't care about Liang Cheng, I will never speak and it doesn't count, even if I don't want to marry before, I have never lied to you, mother, how can you not believe me? Mother, I know you haven't decided on this matter yet, this is a major event related to my life, so let me discuss it with you. ”

"How can this be done, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, how can you, a yellow flower girl, discuss such a thing? Go back to the house, I'll talk to your father. After Liu finished speaking, he waved his hand and went back to the house.

Su Xueyun thought about it, quickly washed the dishes and went to find Su Baizhu, and said to him: "Big brother, I have something to tell my father, can you accompany me to find my father?" ”

Su Baizhu saw that Su Xueyun looked a little uneasy, and nodded and walked out without saying a word, "Okay, let's go, what's the matter?" ”

"You'll know when you see your parents." Su Xueyun bowed her head and said, and followed Su Baizhu to the main house. When she approached the door, she glanced back at the east wing, and just saw that Chen wanted to follow, but when she walked to the door, she covered her stomach and went to the toilet. This is also one of the reasons why she gave Chen laxatives, Chen was bent on sending her to be a concubine, and she didn't want Chen to make trouble when she pleaded with her family.

Entering the main house, Liu frowned and looked at Su Xueyun, and said, "You kid, what are you doing with your brother?" This is also what you can say from a girl's family? ”

Su Xueyun said straight to the point: "Father, mother, eldest brother, I know that one of my girls' family said that it is not appropriate for her family, but I will not be a concubine for an old man who is older than my father." I don't think that a concubine who can be beaten and scolded at will can live a good life, the children born to a concubine are all inferior, and they can't hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. I want to be an honest person, at least without fear of worrying about being sold every day. ”

Liu Shi stood up suddenly, walked over and patted Su Xueyun twice, "What are you talking about?" I'm hurting you by showing you the family affair? ”

Su Xueyun didn't move, and continued: "Dad, mother, do you remember the eldest daughter of Uncle Wang's family? Back then, she married the town's master Ma as a concubine, such a good carriage took her away, and the dowry was silver, gold, and good fabrics, who in the village didn't say that she married well? But what about then? She was beaten out of the child, beaten to the point that her skin was broken, and she was driven out of the horse mansion, and she died before she could be sent to the hospital. Third Uncle Wang wanted to help her seek justice but was broken by the Ma family, what kind of life is their family living now? Mother, I don't want to be a concubine, a concubine is a thing that can be beaten to death at any time, rather than suffering so many crimes, I might as well hang myself directly! ”

"What do you say! It's getting more and more nonsense, what do you say about what you can't die for?! Su Dapeng patted the kang table and scolded.

Liu sat on the side and wiped his tears and said, "You kid, can you be the same as the girl from the Wang family?" Didn't you hear she was beaten for stealing? If she lived honestly, how could she be beaten to death? Your sister-in-law said that this family of concubines is for the sake of inheritance, and she will definitely treat you well when the time comes, why don't you listen? ”

Su Xueyun said in a low voice: "Mother, I know that you and your sister-in-law are both for my good, but who did your sister-in-law inquire about?" Can that person guarantee that I won't be mistreated in the future? If she can't guarantee it, then why should I believe these words that can be said casually and become a concubine? When the matchmaker is a matchmaker, she says that the other party is so good and so good, but is there anyone who is really as good as the matchmaker says? Mother, it's not that I don't listen to you, I just ...... I don't want to be a concubine for an old man. ”
