Qiao's mother's silver was given by Sunan, otherwise, where would she be willing to spend seven taels of silver to buy a letter of resignation, even if it was her own daughter, she would not be willing to pay the silver.

Seven taels of silver, let this same wave subside.

Lizheng's house, Qiao's mother took the letter of resignation and took her daughter away, before leaving, she also deliberately glanced at Su Lizheng, she said in her heart, Sunan is Lizheng's nephew, and he is the first marriage, not bad.

Qiao's mother was very satisfied with this marriage, she was very happy in her heart, and her attitude towards Qiao Mei was much better.

Mrs. Yu looked at the seven taels of silver in her hand, and she was also very satisfied, she took the silver and went home with Su Laoqi, the two daughters-in-law saw the seven taels of silver, their eyes were shining, although the money could not fall on their heads, but looking at the silver in their hearts, if the silver was saved, it would always fall into his hands when they were separated.

Su Li was watching them go, his eyes narrowed, he was finally relieved, fortunately Anan was not dragged down by this matter.

Things seem to have settled out like that.

Widow Su was divorced by Mrs. Yu, and she didn't hide it, and it didn't take long for everyone in Sujia Village to know. However, whenever someone asks Yu Pozi Su about the widow stealing people, Yu Pozi always keeps it silent, and over time, this matter seems to be acquiesced, which also confirms Qiao Mei's reputation for not abiding by women's morals.

Within a few days, Su Yu and his family also knew about it, as for the seven taels of silver, no one knew except for the people at the time, Su Yu was still muttering in his heart, Yu Pozi was so easy to spare Qiao Mei, there must be something wrong with this matter.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her family, so she doesn't bother to dig into it.

These days are cloudy, those cut are very dry and can't be dried, Su Yu steamed the cut bamboo shoots in a large pot, and then roasted the bamboo shoots on the kang until they were dry, at this time, the bamboo shoots were yellow, and then, after the warm fire baked the bamboo shoots until they were all dry, and then, they had to be scalded in boiling water, after doing this, the sun came out again, Su Yu took the bamboo shoots by the way and dried them for a day, and then put them into the jar.

There are many winter bamboo shoots on the mountain, in addition to leaving some for cooking, the remaining half are made of dried bamboo shoots, which are kept for winter to eat, and some are made into pickles by Su Aniang, and they have also made a lot, and the taste is also very good.

Time passed quickly, the weather slowly cooled down, and seeing that it was almost time to pay the masons in the town, Su Yu reminded Su Aniang: Mother, the wages will be paid tomorrow, you can go to the town with me.

Su A-Niang thought for a while and said: "It's just right, after the wages are paid, let's call a few more masons to come back and dig the well, and we will definitely be able to dig it in three days." Three days, find three or five people, give more money, if they work hard enough, three days can be good.

Su Yudao: Let's go borrow Uncle Bolt's ox cart, I heard that his ox cart also has a cart frame, it is convenient to load things, when the time comes, let's buy some food back and put it in the kiln, but unfortunately, our kiln is a little small, otherwise, we can buy more things.

Su A-Niang wrenched her hand and said: Let's buy less fine rice, just buy more brown rice, and we have to buy some flour, and we also have to buy salt at home.

Su Yu hurriedly said: Mother, why don't we buy tooth powder, don't brush it with salt.

Su A-Niang shook her head vigorously: No, tooth powder is more expensive, let's use salt. Su A-Niang is still a very realistic person.

As long as it can be used, Su Yu doesn't pick it, the reason why she wants to use tooth powder is just to try how it is different from salt.

Su A-Niang changed into clean clothes, and told Su Daniu: Take good care of your Xiaobao at home, don't go to the door today, ah.

Su Daniu nodded and said: I know.

Su A-Niang led Su Yu out, this was the first time Su A-Niang took Su Yu to the town, Su Yu was led, and she felt a little awkward, Su A-Niang's hands were not big, and there was a thick layer of cocoons on it, but it was quite warm.

Su A-Niang took Su Yu to Aunt Su's house, Su Yu met a few villagers on the way, but those villagers looked at their mother and daughter with a particularly strange gaze, Su Yu's heart sank, could something have happened?

When I arrived at Aunt Su's house, Aunt Suan and Su Qing were there, Su A-Niang was talking to Aunt Su, but Su Yu quietly pulled Su Qing aside and asked: Sister Su Qing, how strange are the eyes of the villagers looking at me and my mother, is something wrong and it is involved in my family again?

Su Qing didn't hesitate at all, she nodded quickly, she whispered in Su Yu's ear and said: Isn't Widow Su divorced for stealing people, recently, they spread the news that they had an adulterous affair with Widow Su......

Su Qing stopped halfway through her words.

Su Yu held her sleeve and said, "Sister Su Qing, say it quickly."

Su Qing said in a smaller voice: Say it's your brother!

What the?

Su Qing saw that Su Yu didn't know, and said: Your eldest sister hasn't gone out much these days, so she doesn't know, they have been spreading it for several days, and they still say that you ...... Your family bought the house at the bottom of the mountain, because your brother had a private meeting with Widow Su, and said that the last time you said that the clothes were gone, it was in Widow Su's hands, but she said it herself.

Su Qing talked a lot bit about it.

Su Yu's face became more and more ugly, and after a while, she calmed down again, before she secretly guessed whether there would be such a day, and then saw that Widow Su was divorced and returned to her parents' house, she thought that this matter was over, but she didn't expect that Widow Su had not only not stopped, but also pulled to her family's head.

Lord Su asked Su Qing: How did this matter start?

Su Qing said with a blank face: I don't know, after Widow Su was divorced, this word came out within a day, but everyone said it quietly.

After Su Qing finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Su Yu again, and she saw that Su Yu was not angry, so she continued: Later, your eldest brother never appeared, and everyone felt that your brother must have gone to hide...... So, this word spread more and more, and it was originally said that Sunan had an affair with Widow Su, but it was passed on, and it became that your brother and Sunan both had an affair with Widow Su, and then later, it became your brother......

After Su Qing finished speaking, she glanced at Su Yu curiously: What about your brother, let's not come out and explain this matter clearly.

Su Yu said helplessly: My brother went to other places to do business, and he has been gone for a while, and he won't be able to come back in half a year. Widow Su is not a fairy, and she has been married, how can someone like my brother take a fancy to her.

Su Qing heard this and laughed: I also think that Brother Awang is so good-looking, Widow Su is not as good-looking as Brother Awang, how can he look down on someone who is not as good as himself. Oops, then she didn't have a chance!

After Su Qing finished speaking, she sighed deeply.

Su Qing is very strong, Su A-Niang likes this kind of daughter-in-law very much, however, Su Wang's aesthetics are different from Su A-Niang, he likes to be slimmer, he doesn't like Su Qing, this is aesthetics, and it can't be changed.

Su Yu fell into deep thought, this matter should have little to do with Qiao Mei, only Sunan is eager to clear up this matter, or his family, Su Lizheng? Maybe Sunan's family doesn't want Sunan to marry Widow Su, and now that the child is gone, this is a good excuse, and now the question should be how they persuade Sunan not to marry Widow Su.

So, while pouring dirty water on her brother, she made Sunan believe that Widow Su really had a private relationship?

Su Yu snorted lightly.

Over there, Su A-Niang finished talking to Aunt Bolt with a smile, and Aunt Bolt took the ox cart out, and she also said: I heard that there is a pork stall in that town where pork is cheaper than the other ones, remember to help me bring two catties of pork, and I want to be fully fat!

Su Adao smiled: Okay, I remember.

Su A-Niang didn't know about the rumors, and after borrowing the ox cart, Su A-Niang waved to Su Yu, who was still muttering to Su Qing over there: Erniu, come here, we should go.

Got it, mother. After Su Yu finished speaking, he said goodbye to Su Qing: Sister Su Qing, then I'll go first.

Su Qing asked anxiously: Where is your eldest sister, are you at home?

Su Yu said: Yes, but she can't go out today, Sister Su Qing, if you are free, you can go to my house to see her.

Su Qing's eyes lit up: Okay, I'll tell my mother here. How nice it is that there are no elders in the family.

Su Yu got into the ox cart, Su Aniang set up the ox cart, and after waving to the bolt aunt, they left.

When Aunt Su saw that Su A-Niang was gone, the smile on her face faded, and she pulled Su Qing over and asked, "What are you talking about with Erniu?"

Su Qing smiled and said: Mother, we are talking about Widow Su, the village also said that it is related to Erniu and his brother, hmph, Brother Awang will not look down on Widow Su, nor will he look at Widow Su's appearance, it is not as good as Brother Awang.

Aunt Bolt thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Su Qing said again: Mother, I want to go to the girl to play, mother, I am going to find the girl to learn embroidery!

Aunt Bolt smiled and said, "Okay, remember to come back earlier."

Su Qing stared at the smiling face of the bolted aunt for a while, and then complained: I said that why is the face so round, it turns out that it looks like a mother, and the original blame is not as good-looking as my brother and them.

When Aunt Bolt heard Su Qing's words, her face was blank, she slapped Su Qing twice, and pretended to be angry and said: Mother's face is called blessed, what do you know, such a face is easy to marry.

Su Qing didn't believe it, she muttered: Yes, but this didn't take a fancy to me.

Aunt Tie smiled helplessly: How old are you, it will take two years.

Su Qing raised her head: Nonsense, then Su Yue and Su Rong have both come to the door to propose marriage, and they are similar to me.

Aunt Tie nodded her forehead and said: That big girl is similar to you, it's not that no one has proposed marriage, what is there to say, wait until next year, naturally someone will propose marriage, Ah Qing, it's not me talking about you, you have to give me less food in the future, look at your waist, it's as thick as a bucket.

Su Qing said unconvinced: Mother, Aunt Zhang has already said it, my body shape is just right, she likes it.

Aunt Bolt glared at her and said: She only said that because of her elders, besides, what use does she like, you have to like your future husband to like it.

Su Qing twisted her head and said: I'm going to play with the big girl, ignore you.

With that, she ran out of the house.

Aunt Bolt sighed helplessly in the courtyard, this dead child, blame her for hurting too much, otherwise, why does she grow so well? is like a big girl, although the family is poorer, but thin, even if you eat fat in the future, you can't see it.

――

The ox cart was walking on the road, Su Yu endured it for a long time, but she still couldn't hold back, she moved to the driving position and sat down, Su A-Niang looked at her suspiciously: What are you doing here?

Su Yu said: Mother, you know about Widow Su's stealing.

When Su A-Niang heard this, she frowned and said: This is not something you should know, don't talk about it in the future.

Su Yu said again: Mother, what I want to say is not this, just now we walked to Aunt Xuan, those villagers looked at us with strange eyes, do you know why?

Su A-Niang stared at Su Yu for a while: You know?

Su Yu said angrily: They said that it was my brother who had an affair with Widow Su!

The ox cart suddenly stopped, it turned out that Su A-Niang pulled the rope to death, and Su A-Niang was so angry that her eyes glared: What did you just say?

Su Yu said seriously: Sister Su Qing said this to me just now, mother, this has been going on for several days, but we haven't heard a little rumor.

Su A-Niang suppressed her anger and said: Where did this come from?

Su Yu shook his head and said, "How do I know."

Su Aniang pulled the ox cart, turned the ox cart around, and drove directly in the direction of Sujia Village, she wanted to go back to the village!

Su Yu was surprised and said: Mother, what are you doing here?

Su A-Niang gritted her teeth and said: Of course, let's go and see which bastard is talking nonsense, we can bear anything, but we can't bear this thing alone, this is a shadowless thing, how can it be placed on our family, on your brother, if we don't make it clear, those mothers-in-law with broken mouths really think this thing is true! This is not good, your brother will talk about his daughter-in-law in the future, and you will also say kiss to the eldest girl in the future, if you have a bad reputation, this life can be said to be ruined!

Su A-Niang said again: This matter must be made clear, otherwise, our family will not be able to live!

So strict zhòng?

Su Yu was silent for a while, and said: Mother, it is Sunan who has a personal relationship with Widow Su, you know about it.

Su A-Niang said: I know, I guessed it when Sister Zhao and Widow Su went to our house.

Su Yu slowly said his guess: I think this matter may be related to Li Zheng, or, it is related to Aunt Zhao, mother, even if you find the first person to say this, what can you do?

Su A-Niang was entangled for a while, she looked at Su Yu and said: Then what do you say?

Su Yu said slowly: The eldest brother is not here, this matter is not easy to clarify, besides, Sunan seems to be going to marry Widow Su, and when they become relatives in the future, won't the truth be revealed?

Su A-Niang was still angry, she said: However, when Sunan marries the widow of Su, I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, who can say for sure, if you don't marry, then what about your brother's reputation, what about our family's reputation?

Su Yu sighed and said, "Mother, let's go to the town first and settle the wages for them, and then come back and talk about it, anyway, Widow Su's matter has been rumored these days, and it is not bad today."

Su A-Niang was very entangled.

Su Yu took Su Aniang's cow rope, turned the cow around again, she drove the cow in the direction of the town, and said at the same time: Mother, since you can't make up your mind, it's better to go to the town and ask the second uncle.

Su A-Niang thought this was a good idea, she nodded again and again and said: Yes, let's go ask your second uncle.

They went to the town, Su A-Niang didn't have the heart to buy things at all, she originally wanted to go directly to Uncle Zhang, but she couldn't bear Su Yu and said: Second Uncle may still be on an errand, mother, it's still early, it's better for us to do what should be done in advance, such as the two catties of pork in the bolt, let's buy it first, and the grain we want to buy, and besides, we have to go to the shop to see, right?

Su Yu deposited the ox cart in the shed at the entrance of the town, and then pulled Su A-Niang to the shop under the shop, and then approached the shop, Su Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that Second Uncle Zhang was also here, Su A-Niang was even more delighted, she pulled Su Yu and ran over, she shouted: Second brother.

Second Uncle Zhang heard the voice, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Su Yu and Su A-Niang, and finally showed a smile on his face, he said: You guys are here, they are waiting for wages, and they have gone to the yamen to find me several times.

Su Yu said to Su Aniang: Mother, pay them the wages first, if you have anything to say, we will tell the second uncle later.

When Su A-Niang heard this, she suppressed the urge to tell Second Uncle Zhang about her grievances, she carefully took out the money, and then handed it to Su Yudao: You can count, you go and give it to them.

Su Yudao: Okay. She took the money handed over by Su Aniang, and then went to find the Lv mason, and asked the Lv mason to call people over, let them line up, and then began to pay the salary, but not long after the payment, the problem came out, the wages of these people are fifty wen a day, and there are also thirty wen, the work is different, the wages are also different, after ten days, three hundred wen, five hundred wen, and Lu Mason, he is seven hundred, and the money in Su Yu's hand is an integer, but it is not easy to send.

Su Yu looked at the mason Lu and said, "You go to work first, and I will go to the money village to exchange the silver for copper plates, and I will come back later."

Su Yu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it, so she asked Su A-Niang to go to Qianzhuang with Second Uncle Zhang, Su Yu exchanged thousands of copper plates and filled half a bag, and then Second Uncle Zhang helped her mention the side of the shop, she said that she could lift it, but Second Uncle Zhang still insisted on helping her to lift it, who made her small.

She put the money away, and then shouted: Come and line up, send the money. At the same time, she also called Lv Mason, and she said to Lv Mason: What are they doing, do you know what they do?

Lu Mason smiled: Naturally, there are a few, they are all people under my hands, I know it.

Su Yu originally wanted to calculate the money according to the quality of the work, but after thinking about it, she didn't keep it after all, and she couldn't just rely on Lu's words to lose the silver of these masons, so it was better to send it according to the previous amount, who let her not have time to watch them.

Lu Mason shouted beside him, Su Yu handed over the money, and Second Uncle Zhang and Su A-Niang were staring at him.

Zhao Qi, 400 Wen.

Chen Mao, 500 Wen.

Wang Xiaozeng, 200 Wen.

Su Yu frowned when she heard the two hundred wen, and she asked the mason Lu: Why is there still two hundred wen, isn't it three hundred wen?

Lu Mason smiled: This person is not honest in his work, not to mention cutting corners, and he quarreled with others, and I am not going to ask him after this time.

Su Yu glanced at the mason Lu.

Wang Xiaozeng walked over.

Su Yu thought about it, and still gave him three hundred wen, which is the lowest price, Wang Xiaozeng took the money, and looked at Su Yu with a look of surprise, he got the Lu mason, and the Lu mason's group also said cruel words, saying that they would tell the master to deduct his silver.

Lu Mason watched from the side, his face froze, master, this, this......

Su Yu said calmly: Whether he did a good job or not, I can't just listen to you, besides, even if there is a good job, I won't give more.

Lu Mason laughed twice: But, there is really a good job.

Su Yu said: The price set by my brother is not low, I will not add any extra silver, if you feel that you have lost money, you can also do it.

The mason Lu stopped talking.

Su Yu paid all the wages, and the mason Lu took 700 yuan, which was a lot, but he was unwilling, he thought that this master was young and could coax her to give more silver, even if he didn't give more, deduct the Wang Xiaozeng silver, and then add it to his silver money, which was the same, but the master refused to listen to him.

After the mason Lu took the money, he discussed it with the masons, and then he suddenly came over and said to Su Yu: I'm afraid we won't be able to do this job.

Su Yu looked at him in surprise: Why, didn't my brother tell you before?

Lv Mason said: We still have a job in our hands, and the salary is higher than this, so ah, we can't take this job. Craftsman Lu said as he observed Su Yu's reaction.

Su Yu smiled: Okay, then don't do it.

Lu Mason was waiting for Su Yu to keep them, but what did the little girl in front of him say, don't do it? What does this mean? Don't let him do it?

Lu Mason's face changed color suddenly, and he forced out a smile and said: Master, have you decided?

Su Yu said: Well, since you don't have time, then forget it, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, my brother was in a hurry to let you finish it before, that's because he has something, I'm fine, so ah, this matter can be done slowly.

At this moment, Wang Xiaozeng suddenly walked over, and he said to Su Yu: Little master, I can take this job, I have someone in my hand, and I guarantee that I will not receive more money than them, and I can do this job beautifully.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow at him.

Wang Xiaozeng said again: This surnamed Lu doesn't want to see the master's family, the dungeon is dug shallowly, don't believe it, the foundation has not been laid, if the master's family doesn't believe it, you can go and see, I quarreled with Lu Mason about this at the beginning.

Su Yu sank his face.

Lu Mason glared at Wang Xiaozeng angrily: What nonsense are you talking about!

Wang Xiaozeng held his head high and said: If the main family doesn't believe it, let's go down and take a look, by the way, the main family, the deep pit before, digging and digging, dug out some dry dung, that place may have been a thatched house before, and the mason Lu stopped digging half of it.

Su Yu glanced at the mason Lu again.

Second Uncle Zhang and Su A-Niang are here, that Second Uncle Zhang is still a fast catcher, and Lu Mason didn't dare to bully Su Yu at this time, so he said in a muffled voice: The reason why the dung in the deep pit was not filled was mainly to wait for the master's idea, but since we didn't do it, the master's family should find someone to do it by themselves.

Feces?

The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly, before it was a dead person, and then it was feces, what else was next?
