Chapter 12: Sisters

With He Hong's note, Su Miao had a bottom in her heart, and took the gold ingot left by Su Dong to go to the gold and silver shop in the town to exchange for silver.

He Hong said that Yu Patrol had some friendship with him in private, and for the sake of his face, Yu Patrol would definitely give Su Miao a good arrangement, and the benefit fee plus handling fee would cost about seven or eight taels of silver, although it was not a small number, but Changle Street had a good business and would soon be able to earn it back.

asked a few shops, all said that one tael of gold can only be exchanged for ten taels of silver, Su Miao is uncomfortable, so he can exchange it for ten taels of silver, but the favor fee is seven or eight taels, and he can't just give silver and give some door-to-door gifts, and then he has to pay the booth fee every year, so calculated......

With a sad face, she picked up the silver with a sad face, scratched her ears and cheeks as she walked home, and passed by the small wharf where the passenger ship was moored, and suddenly heard the rough voice of the man who moved the goods from the wharf:

"Brother Su, it's the last box, hurry up and move it, the guests are waiting to sail!"

"Good! Here it is! "The familiar voice came into the ears, slightly slender than a man but much lower than a woman, male and female, deep and beautiful.

Su Miao was stunned, lowered her head and followed the prestige, only to see four or five dock workers on the dock used to dock passenger ships and small cargo ships were moving goods onto the ship, one of them was tall but more slender than everyone was carrying a wooden box taller than her and gritting her teeth to carry it onto the ship, although it was reluctant but sharp, and did not drag the team back.

Su Miao was stunned, and her heart was extremely shocked.

Su Chan, who was walking back, inadvertently raised her head, and was also stunned when she met her face, and paused.

After a short period of shock, Su Miao's expression became stern, and she condensed her voice:

"Chan'er!"

Su Chan looked at her and pursed her lips.

Under the high wall of the river dam is the place where the dock workers take a short rest, Su Chan wiped the sweat with the handkerchief around her neck while walking to a secluded shaded place, standing under the river dam and turning around, indifferently to Su Miao:

"Let's make it clear first, I'm not moving goods on the dock to supplement my family, don't make a mistake, I'll leave home and never come back when I've made enough money."

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, the fourteen-year-old ancient girl was surprised to say such a shocking decision, she was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "You mean, you want to save money and run away from home?" ”

"To be precise, in order to cut off relations with the Su family, I have had enough of my mother and grandma arguing every day from early in the morning, making the family restless, I don't want to listen to grandma's 'shrew, poisonous woman' scolding, and I don't want to listen to my mother say over and over again that grandma is 'old and immortal', disgusted with my father all day long, useless, endlessly chattering about her already dead virtuous child, if this continues, sooner or later I will be sold by my mother because of cigarettes, it is better to know each other now, and it will be regarded as reducing the burden on the family."

Her tone was cold, as cold as a straight icicle.

"After all, you're trying to escape?" Su Miao pondered for a moment, looked at her face, and asked with a smile.

Su Chan's expression froze, and this involuntary stiffness made her feel embarrassed, turned her head, and said coldly:

"Whatever you want!"

"Is there really nothing in the Su family that you can't give up or cherish?"

"Nope!" She replied categorically.

"Really?" Su Miao smiled, lowered her head and was silent for a while, looked up at her, and asked with a smile, "Are you working here as a woman or ...... They call you 'Brother Su'? ”

"What about men and women, as long as they have the strength and don't hold back!" Su Chan's tone was a little impatient.

Su Miao looked at her, indeed, many of the freight workers at the dock are temporary teams to count the money, as long as you can complete the work smoothly, it doesn't matter who you are, Su Chan is taller than ordinary girls, born and sturdy, short brown dress and indifferent and slightly ruffian demeanor, compared to cardamom girls are indeed more like a delicate teenager.

After a moment of silence, she smiled lightly, turned around, and said in a low voice: "That's it, since you insist, continue to work hard, come back early in the evening for dinner, I'll go back first." ”

"That's all you want to say?" Su Chan couldn't help frowning, she never expected her to have such a bland reaction after saying so much, her heart was weird, she couldn't help but ask, and she regretted it a little as soon as she said it, wouldn't such a bland reaction be better for her?

Su Miao glanced back at her and smiled slightly:

"Although I'm very worried about Chan'er, I'm just your sister, even if I'm worried about it, I can't spend your life on your behalf, since you think that the Su family has nothing worth your stay, although my sister feels very uncomfortable when I hear this, but you have already decided what can I say, I can only respect your decision." Be careful with your body, although you have a lot of strength since you were a child, never forget that you are essentially a girl. She said softly and turned to leave.

Su Chan looked at her back, for some reason, anger began to flood her chest, obviously there was nothing to be angry about, she didn't know what she was angry about, but she just felt annoyed after listening to her calm and gentle words, the fire was so big that she was suffocated, she gritted her teeth and stared at her back, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly said angrily:

"What do you say 'worry', what kind of good sister is pretending to be now, I am dispensable in that family, isn't it!"

Only when she is angry will her delicate little face show a childishness appropriate to her age, like a child who thinks she is disheartened because she is not cared for, but in fact she is just making trouble.

When Su Miao got home just in time to make dinner, she heard Su Yan's cry from the kitchen when she stepped into the courtyard door, and Mrs. Su knocked on her crutches and scolded angrily:

"You loser, the best fragrant rice has been ruined by you like this, you are a boy who doesn't study or go out to play, and even goes to the kitchen like a cat to dig rice and cook rice, I'm really going to be angry with you! How did our Su family raise you to be such a baby who doesn't look like a kid at all! ”

Su Yan was trampled on and hurt his feet, sad and aggrieved, crying even more sadly, he just saw that his mother and grandmother were not in good health and were lazy to get up, and wanted to learn from the second sister to cook dinner for the family, who knew that it was messed up, and a good pot of fragrant rice was all ruined.

Mrs. Su saw that he was crying softly and weakly, and her heart was even more angry, and she kept scolding, and Su Miao was about to go to the kitchen when she saw Hu Shi coming out of the hall and entering the kitchen angrily, and said like an old hen guarding a child:

"What is this for? Yan'er is also filial piety and distressed elders, even if you don't appreciate it, you still scold him with such ugly words! It's just that if you're not naughty, you just say that he doesn't look like a kid, and that's too ugly! Yan'er is your grandson, the only son of the Su family, but it's just a pot of rice, how can that thing be as precious as Yan'er, and it's worth your scolding him so loudly, look at you bluffing Yan'er, who is the grandmother scolding the child so much! ”
