Chapter 6: Seeing the True Face of the Family
The blue sky and the red sun are thin, and the autumn tiger continues to sharpen the villagers working in the fields.
Even though the daily sweaty work is very hard, it is also a kind of happiness for Su Baiya, not only has the opportunity to live a new life, but she was an orphan in her previous life, and she can also experience the warmth of home.
The corn harvested by the Su family a few days ago has been dried, and when they go home at dusk, they have one more job, peeling corn.
Su Wang was preparing dinner in the stove room, and the rest of the people sat in the yard peeling corn.
Suddenly, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a man with five big and three thick walked in: "It's lively!" No wonder Grandma Su forgot all the things she promised me. ”
When Su Li heard the prestige, the person who came was Wang An, the son of the widow Wang, who was a widower, and suddenly remembered what Grandma Su said a few days ago, to let Su Baiya be a maid.
"What are you going to do?" She was very unwelcome to this person, and her tone was cold.
Wang Dalang turned a deaf ear, glanced at Grandma Su, and walked straight towards Su Baiya, who was sitting by the basket: "Grandma Su, why don't you talk count?" In the past few days, someone has come to the door to ask me if I want someone to take care of my mother, I thought that I had already negotiated with you, but they all refused, you can't talk and don't count. ”
Grandma Su remembered that it was because Su Baiya used three taels of silver to treat her illness, so she discussed the matter with Wang An, but she received five taels of silver compensation from the Niu family at noon, and this joy put the matter behind her.
Since Wang An came to inquire so sincerely, let Su Baiya take care of Widow Wang, and it would be good for the family to have an extra income.
So he smiled: "Of course it's okay, it's not that the work in the field hasn't been finished yet, and I plan to let Ya'er take care of your mother in a few days." ”
"Grandma Su, there are just me and my mother at home, it is not convenient for me to do some things as a man, my mother urgently needs someone to take care of her now, I think it is better to let Ya'er go to my house now." Wang Dalang's voice fell, and he was ready to start pulling Su Baiya.
Su Li was very reluctant, Wang An was not a filial person, and there were rumors in the village that the death of Wang An's daughter-in-law was related to Wang An. She didn't believe that Wang An was asking someone to take care of the widow Wang, the purpose must be impure, and her daughter arrived at Wang's house to specify that nothing would happen.
When Wang An was about to reach out to his daughter, the black hand full of mud shavings between his fingernails was slapped open.
"Aunt Li, what do you mean by that?" Wang An is not in a hurry.
"Didn't my mother say it, wait until the work in the field is done." Facing the smiling face, Su Li was still cold.
Wang An smiled, "It's okay, I will give a lot of money to Grandma Su, you can rest assured." ”
Su Boya said directly: "I still do farm work at home, and I will be exempted from being a maid at your house." ”
Grandma Su was suddenly displeased: "Ya'er, what's the matter with you, what's wrong with going to the Wang family to be a maid, how tiring it is to work in the fields, I heard a few days ago that the girl of the Zhou family was tired of heat stroke, and grandma is also thinking about you, find an easier job for you to do." ”
"Thank you grandma for thinking about me, I like to do farm work, it's better to let the second aunt go to the Wang family as a maid, and I will help the second aunt do the work."
"Nope."
"Nope."
Wang An and Su Wang spoke in unison.
Wang An thought about it day and night and wanted Su Baiya to go to his house, so he deliberately raised the salary by ten yuan, he glanced at the old and yellow Su Wang's family and kept shaking his head: "Grandma Su, let's say that it is Ya'er to take care of my mother, you can't regret it." ”
When Su Wang heard that Wang An was coming, he watched the excitement at the door of the stove room, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, mother, besides, I still have to take care of Da Zhuang, how can I take care of Sister Wang." ”
Grandma Su put down the corn in her hand and looked at Su Baiya lovingly: "Ya'er, I think you still have to take care of Wang Dalang's mother, and you don't have to worry about the work in the fields." ”
Su Baiya continued to talk nonsense: "I think it's better for the second aunt to go, I can't take care of myself, how can I take care of others." ”
Grandma Su lost her patience, picked up a corn cob at random and threw it at Su Baiya: "This can't work, that can't work, can you do it in heaven?" ”
Su Li bit his lip: "Mother, Wang Dalang must have other plans for letting Ya'er go to his house, Yaya can't marry this kind of person." ”
Wang An laughed angrily: "Aunt Su, you really look up to Su Baiya, she doesn't even have a dowry, how could I want to marry her?" ”
He also has wishful thinking in his heart, once Su Baiya goes to his house, what does it matter if he marries or not, sooner or later he will not be allowed to go to his bedside, and he can save the dowry money.
"Anyway, I know you're not well-intentioned." Su Li got up and stood in front of Su Baiya, saying that he couldn't let his daughter go to the wolf's den.
"Li, I'm also thinking about Ya'er, do you want Ya'er to be exposed to the wind and sun all day long like you?" Grandma Su persuaded.
"Grandma Su has spoken, you get out of the way." After Wang An finished speaking, he wanted to jump over Su Li's clan and pull Su Baiya away.
"Don't take my daughter with you." Su Li opened his hands in front of Su Baiya.
Wang An stood left and right in front of Su Li and waited for an opportunity, and Li tried his best to prevent Wang An from breaking through her defense.
It's like an eagle catching a chicken.
"Crunch."
The door of the side room is pushed open.
Su Jingshan looked at the noisy two people in the yard with a displeased face, he was the only one in the family who read, and when he returned home, he was only responsible for reading articles and studying.
"What kind of fuss are you making, you have to go out and make noise."
"Brother Jing, your grandmother promised me to let Ya'er take care of my mother, but this Aunt Li has been obstructing me." Wang An slapped his thigh angrily.
Su Jingshan was very unhappy when he was disturbed reading because of these trivial things, and walked in front of Su Li in three or two steps: "Other brothers and sisters-in-law are tired and have no complaints in order to provide for their little brother-in-law to study, I don't ask you to study for me, but please don't disturb me to study, this can't be done, what good is it for you that I can't pass the Tongsheng exam." ”
"I didn't want to disturb your studies." Su Li was very aggrieved.
Grandma Su's heart was on fire, and she pushed Li aside: "Wang Dalang, take Ya'er to your house quickly, and don't forget to give me the money when you turn around." ”
Then he looked at Su Baiya again: "You have to take good care of Wang Dalangniang." ”
Wang An stretched out his wide black hand towards Su Baiya again.
Su Baiya got up and took two steps back: "Anyway, I'm not going, whoever likes to go." ”
In the memory of the original body, the family was just eccentric, and she could accept it, but at this moment, she could see through the so-called family, what kind of warmth could she feel? It's all fart.
A large family is mercenary and selfish, and they can ignore the safety of their families for the sake of petty profits.
"Your grandmother has agreed, I can't help you." Wang An's face changed, and he threw himself at Su Baiya.
"Don't touch my daughter." Su Li pulled Wang An's clothes and did not loosen them.
Wang An was furious, and pushed Su Li's body with a palm, "Get out of the way." ”
Su Li was pushed like this, his feet were unstable and fell to the ground, his head hit the stone, and bright red blood suddenly bubbled out.
