Chapter 3: The Four Walls of the Family

Su Ziheng couldn't make this conjecture, but what he saw and heard made him have to doubt it. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and let out a long breath. Since he came, don't think about it so much, not to mention that he is quite familiar with history, except that the first dynasty in Chinese history was the Xia Dynasty, he doesn't remember which historical period has the country name Xia.

If this Xia Dynasty is the Xia Dynasty in history, Su Ziheng will not believe it anyway, compared to the slave society that is not much stronger than the primitive society, not to mention anything else, just the "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn" that he has seen is enough to prove that this is a dynasty after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In view of the lack of information in hand and the limited information he knew, Su Ziheng did not have much to guess. "Let's think of a way first, go to the Zhao family and ask the eldest lady of the Zhao family if she has picked up 'it', if not, you have to ask where she saved herself, and then go to the place where the incident occurred."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was another slow knock at the door, and a loud voice came through the thin wooden door, "Is Su Xiucai at home?" ”

Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "What's going on today, there are so many people coming to the door?" Counting Langzhong at the beginning, this is already the third wave. ”

He was just about to go out, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a vigilant girl's voice asked, "Who are you, is there anything wrong with my uncle?" ”

The man at the door said: "I am Huzi's father, I heard that Xiucai Gong was injured, so I specially took a roe deer and a few pheasants and hares from the mountains and gave them to Xiucai Gong to make up for his body." ”

Xiaoya glanced out through the crack in the door, and saw a strong man eight feet tall, dressed in Orion clothes, carrying a roe deer about the same height as herself, and a few immobile chickens and rabbits on the ground.

The little girl said crisply: "You wait a while, I'll ask my uncle." So saying, she staggered back to the hall and told her sister something.

Zhang Wanqing's eyebrows frowned slightly, she had the intention to refuse, and it was not easy to make decisions for her uncle, so she entered Su Ziheng's room and asked his opinion.

Su Ziheng asked, "Sister-in-law, who is this tiger?" ”

Zhang Wanqing's face was worried, "Huzi is a student of Bailu Academy......" Seeing Su Ziheng's puzzled expression, Zhang Wanqing felt a pang in his heart and explained: "Bailu Academy is a private school founded by my father-in-law before his death. ”

Su Ziheng nodded thoughtfully, and secretly complained: "I didn't expect that my cheap father would still be the principal of a private school, but it's a pity that I went early, otherwise I would be the second generation of the colonel." This is the most popular profession in campus idol dramas, whether it is an indispensable role for the protagonist or the villain. ”

Zhang Wanqing continued: "After the master of Bailu Academy left, many students dropped out of school one after another because there was no one to teach them. Li Hu is said to be the most promising student in the academy to be admitted to Xiucai, uncle, you just went to his house to persuade him not to drop out of school for the time being, and to take the Xiucai exam first and then plan. Unexpectedly, on the way back, he was seriously injured. ”

Only then did Su Ziheng understand the reason why the original owner of the body was injured, for the original owner, it was not as simple as being injured, but a life. Speaking of which, it is also for his own sake, in this way, he has accepted his love, and he will have to bear his responsibility in the future.

Looking at the two women in front of him, one big and one small, Su Ziheng secretly made a decision in his heart.

"I think Li Hu's father heard the news that he was seriously injured, so he specially hunted some game from the mountains to visit him. Since this is the case, then quickly invite him to come in and sit down, just to talk about Li Hu's affairs. After Su Ziheng finished speaking, he instructed Xiaoya to invite Li Hu's father in.

When the little girl arrived at the door, there was no one in front of the door, leaving only a roe deer and a few pheasants and hares on the ground. Xiaoya was worried that they would be stolen by some scoundrels in the neighborhood at the door, so she dragged them into the yard alone with difficulty, so she closed the gate and reported the matter to her sister and uncle.

Zhang Wanqing looked at Su Ziheng with a difficult face, and didn't know what to do? According to her nature, she didn't want to accept these game, but there were only a few people in the family, and the uncle was seriously injured, so there was nothing she could do to send the game back. If you leave it at home, it's hot now, and if you don't clean it up, it will be easy to rot.

Su Ziheng sighed, "Since that's the case, let's accept it first, and then repay them when we have the opportunity in the future." ”

As soon as she heard this, Xiaoya jumped up happily, clapped her hands and smiled: "Great, sister, we can finally eat meat again." ”

Zhang Wanqing said with a straight face: "Don't eat!" ”

The little girl's face fell, and she asked sullenly, "Why aren't you allowed to eat?" I haven't eaten meat in a long time. ”

Zhang Wanqing said: "Now that the conditions at home are difficult, I will take these wild meats to the market and ask, how much can I sell for a few dollars." It's better to keep paying the rent, otherwise you will wait to be kicked out by Wu Po. ”

When the little girl heard this, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Su Ziheng thought of the dressed-up old woman who was looking at each other through the window just now, and asked, "Sister-in-law, how much rent do we still owe?" ”

Zhang Wanqing folded her hands and said: "Counting the total rent owed for three months this month, the original rent was paid once a month. But a few months ago, my uncle took the Xiucai exam and spent a lot of money, so he told Wu Po about the temporary arrears of rent. When Wu Po saw that her uncle was admitted to Xiucai, she had the heart to talk to our family, and she didn't urge us to pay the rent for a while. ”

"I was going to wait for this month to come back and pay the rent. Who knew that some time ago, Uncle You, you were seriously injured again, in order to treat Uncle You, not only did the savings accumulated some time ago be spent, but also sold a lot of things at home, and finally rescued Uncle You, but the rent could not be paid. ”

Su Ziheng's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that because of his injury, his family was already so poor. If he hadn't woken up this time, he didn't know how the two of them would have spent the rest of their lives? Although I don't know much about the world, I don't think it's much better.

Not to mention that in this era, even in the modern era of incomparably advanced medicine, as long as one person in a well-off family suffers from a serious illness, it will basically not be able to recover for several years, or even decades.

However, now that he has woken up, the burden of this family should be borne by himself, not by the two girls. In Su Ziheng's eyes, although Zhang Wanqing is older than herself in appearance, she is too small psychologically.

If we put it in modern times, it is estimated that one university has not yet graduated, and the other elementary school has not graduated. How can they be held responsible for this kind of family support?

Su Ziheng glanced at a few kinds of game on the ground, and said lightly: "Let's leave these wild games to eat at home, since I have come to my senses now, I will find a way to deal with money, sister-in-law and little girl, you don't have to worry." ”
