99. Chapter 99
After coming out of Ning Lazi's house, Su Liu ran to the grocery store in the village, and the owner of the shop, the Ping, who was known as the pretty widow, was sitting at the door eating melon seeds.
"Isn't this a girl from the Su family, but she's here to make soy sauce?"
Su Liu quickly looked at Ping's family, she was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with her hair tied in a bun, two silver hairpins, two pearl earrings in her ears, wearing a rose-red dress, with a thin waist, and then looking at her eyebrows, with a hint of charm.
No wonder the men in the village were fascinated, and the charm still existed, and they were a little more beautiful and elegant than the vulgar village women.
is so young, with a son, an orphan and a widow who lives in a grocery store like this, but without the slightest embarrassment, it can be seen that there are some means.
"Sister-in-law Ping, I'll buy a few eggs." Su Liu stepped forward with a smile.
Ping's was slightly stunned, her shop Ping's also had someone chattering here, and she had heard the rumors of this Su Liu more than once, saying that after she chopped off her fingers, she was like a different person, if it was true, look at this down-and-out smile, which was the humble six-fingered child who was gloomy and unwilling to look up before?
"Buy eggs, come, pick." The customer came to the door, and there was no reason to rush out, so Ping's hurriedly got out of the way, led Su Liu to a basket of eggs, and asked, "Your family also has two or three hens, why did you come to buy eggs?" ”
Farmers, how can there be people who don't raise chickens, unless they are really so poor that they can't open the pot and don't have the money to buy chicken seeds, but the Su family is not, and they are also considered to have a thin family background in Daao Village, so the boss of the Su family is working in the city!
Su Liu wanted to say that he didn't eat it himself, but as soon as his mind turned, he smiled bitterly and said: "Sister-in-law Ping said that I laughed, how can I eat our family's eggs, and my mother was broken again a few days ago...... It's just secretly mending up for her. ”
Ping's action of eating melon seeds paused, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes, how could the boss of the Su family treat the Chen family, it is not a private matter in Daao Village, and even the daughter born with her is not as good as the one born later.
She is also common to the second daughter of the Su family, the clothes are all good, which is like this, look at this patch, hey, they are all poor people.
Su Liu didn't miss her trace of pity, she was slightly happy in her heart, and pretended to be miserable: "As the saying goes, the son doesn't say anything about the father, and I can't say anything, but I beg my sister-in-law not to say anything, just know it in your heart, I'll salute my sister-in-law." "When you speak, you have to salute.
"Oh, look at you child, they all say that you have grown up, and it is true. You are filial to your mother, this is right, even if you say it, you can only praise you, but you are not allowed to say it. Ping hurriedly stopped her.
Su Liu immediately made a frightened look and said, "Sister-in-law Ping, don't do it, our mother and wife will suffer again when we turn around, it's not like we don't have anything to eat...... Yes. Her voice stopped abruptly, and she looked like she had said the wrong thing and covered her mouth in panic.
The Ping family heard it, and at this time, Su Liu's stomach gurgled again, and she realized that the Su family was too much.
"Sister-in-law Ping, I'll pick these eggs, you can calculate how much money you have." Su Liu busily diverted the topic and pointed to the eggs in the basket.
Sister-in-law Ping counted eight eggs, which should have been six yuan, and said, "You can give five yuan." ”
Su Liu sighed, took out a few coins from his waist and counted them, handed them to Ping's, and said: "Sister-in-law Ping, I secretly saved these few dollars, can you not say it, I came here to buy eggs, otherwise my grandma is afraid that I will say that I stole silver." ”
"Yes, you're here to help me wash the soy sauce urn and earn it." Ping pointed to the urn in front of the house.
"Then I've thanked my sister-in-law." Su Liu smiled and bent his knees.
"Hey." Ping waved his hand, remembered something, grabbed a handful of candy from the basket, stuffed it into her hand and said, "Eat with your sister, don't let the silver egg head be seen." ”
Su Liu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sincere smile: "Xie Lu Xie sister-in-law." ”
She is sincerely grateful, although she also used ingredients earlier to make a bitter love drama, and wanted to use Ping's mouth to promote it, but people are really sympathetic.
Seeing her go away, Ping couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's really pitiful, and it's also fateful." After this day, under the propaganda of the Ping family, intentionally or unintentionally, the Su family's reputation of abusing the eldest daughter-in-law and being mean to the eldest granddaughter who pampered the second room spread silently.
Su Liu came to the door of Lizheng's house with the eight eggs in his hand, a little hesitant.
Li Zheng is in charge of household registration, tax land and real estate affairs, Li Zheng surnamed Zhao in Daao Village, is a bit shrewd, but he is not a big traitor.
These eggs, I don't know if I can knock on the door of Zhao Lizheng's house, Su Liu glanced at the vermilion gate in front of him, it was really a mansion.
Without thinking about it anymore, she still knocked on the door with the copper ring, and an old man opened the door and squinted at Su Liu: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Uncle, I'm from Daao Village, and I have something to do with Lord Zhao Lizheng." Su Liu was full of laughter.
The old man wrinkled his eyebrows, and when he saw Su Liu wearing a patched coarse cloth dress, he didn't want to respond, but when he saw Su Liu's flattering eyes, he said, "Wait a minute." ”
The old man closed the door, waited a long time, and then opened it again, and said, "Come in." ”
Su Liu entered the door, and he didn't dare to look around, but out of the corner of his eye, he still took in the scenery of this mansion, although it was not like those big mansions with gardens or something, but they were very neatly cleaned, and they were much more exquisite than ordinary farmhouses.
Entering a courtyard gate, the field of vision becomes broad, four blue brick and tile houses, although it is not called a carved beam and painted building, but it is the most magnificent in the village, in the end Zhou Zhengliang Hall.
It's strange that everyone wants to be an official, look at this magnificence, how can a villager who has been farming all his life deserve it?
"You're looking for me? Hey, aren't you the six-fingered girl of the Su family? What are you doing here? Just as Su Liu was pondering, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
Su Liu looked up and saw a man about forty years old standing in front of the main house, wearing a gray long shirt and two beards, looking at Su Liu.
This is Zhao Lizheng, Su Liu blinked, stepped forward busily, bowed and said respectfully: "Lord Zhao Lizheng is fine, Su Liu took the liberty to come and disturb." ”
Zhao Lizheng was stunned, when did this girl become so polite?
He didn't think much about it, called Su Liu into the house, and when he saw Su Liu offering a few eggs, he couldn't help but be even more surprised, and asked, "Why is this?" ”
"Lord Lizheng, this is my filial piety to you." Su Liu smiled and said, "I came here today to ask Lizheng, can the empty house in Bei Ao be sold?" I wanted to buy that haunted house. ”
