Su Jinyao looked at the bruises on her arms, took a deep breath, and resisted the urge to kill. Secretly told herself that Sophie in front of her was still a child, so she was ignorant.

Su Cheng didn't expect the eldest sister to suddenly become spicy just now, and in a daze, he saw Su Fei'er pounce on Su Jinyao, and then saw that she was thrown by Su Jinyao. Now he saw the bruises on Su Jinyao's arms, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, you have pinched the second sister." Why are your hands so heavy. ”

Sophie was still sitting on the ground, trembling for a long time and not seeing anyone come to coax her, and was asked by Su Cheng, and suddenly tears flowed down again.

However, Sophie didn't cry like a splash this time, but lowered her head and shed tears, sobbing in a low voice: "I, I'm not in a hurry?" Aren't I also for this family? When my father was paralyzed on the kang, Cheng'er was still wearing open crotch pants, so I had to help my mother work. When my mother passed away, I was not yet twelve, and I had to support this family. Which of you relieved me at that time? Now that I have said a few words to you, I think I am not right. I got angry and threw me to the ground, how can you bully people? Is my eldest sister not doing anything right, and can't follow your thoughts? ”

Hearing Sophie Er say this again, Su Jinyao frowned slightly, and also felt a little upset. What's more, she didn't believe that someone could sue a child like Su Cheng to the yamen for the sake of a chicken nest. In ancient times, there was really no royal law.

This is a short matter in the family, Su Jinyao is too lazy to explain it to Sophie. just said solemnly: "Eldest sister, let me say it again, I didn't take a good look at Xiaocheng'er, but cherished him even more." Don't worry, in the future, all the affairs of Xiaocheng'er will be handed over to me, and even if he marries a daughter-in-law and gives a dowry in the future, I will not treat him badly, so it's all right. Also, you don't have to worry about what I do in the future, let alone borrow money for me in my name. This debt is borne by me alone, and it has nothing to do with you or our entire Su family. If someone asks, or if I really can't afford it, you can push me to see the official, and that's it. ”

"Who said such a heartless thing?" Sophie snorted again and said, "Eldest sister didn't force you, I'm not worried about you for your good." Then tell me, what can you do with this hundred articles? Heck, what I bought yesterday and today add up, and I have a lot of money, so if you don't spend it, just borrow a little more. ”

Su Jinyao grinded her teeth secretly, and she really didn't want to say a word. She was also upset when she talked too much. Sophie is such a weak temperament that she can't change it for a while.

Su Jinyao didn't say a word, only squatted down to clean up the vegetables that were spilled on the ground. The cabbage and eggplant are only dipped in soil, and some are also dipped in some sauce, but they are clean after washing, so they don't delay eating. It's a pity that Aunt Li gave the bowl of sauce, don't say anything, even the bowl was dropped. I have to pay a bowl to Aunt Li's family tomorrow.

"Second sister, I'll clean it up." Xiao Cheng'er came over and squatted down to help Su Jinyao clean up. I hurriedly picked up the broken bowl, found a rag bag, put it outside the door, and shoveled some soil to cover the sauce that had been spilled on the ground. Then gently pushed Su Jinyao and said in a low voice: "I will fry eggplants, second sister, go back to the house and sit for a while, I'm tired for a day." ”

Su Jinyao knew that Xiaocheng'er was kind-hearted, and saw that she didn't want to see Sophie at this time, so she asked her to go back to the house for a while to dissipate her anger.

With such a sensible younger brother, Su Jinyao's anger suddenly disappeared by half, although she still had opinions about Su Fei'er in her heart, but if she thought about it carefully, this should be life; This is the day when trivial things can be worried.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao was also relieved. Stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Cheng'er's brain, gave him a gentle smile, and said, "It's okay, the second sister is not a stingy person." You go and learn to write. The second sister's cooking is more delicious. ”

"Second sister......" Xiao Cheng'er still wanted to say something, but seeing Su Jinyao's smiling face, he knew that Su Jinyao's anger had disappeared, so he turned to the side and broke a branch and wrote on the ground.

Sophie was hung by Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er, and no one paid attention to her, probably thinking that she had made a little too much trouble. But he couldn't pull his face down for a while, so he had to go to Su Xiangui's house stupidly.

Su Jinyao looked at Sophie's back and couldn't help but sigh. This eldest sister really gives her a headache. But after all, she has already recognized her as a family, what else can Su Jinyao do with her? It's nothing more than to take care of it more in the future, and treat Sophie as her little sister.

Sophie entered Su Xiangui's room, sat down on the edge of the kang, and began to shed tears again. He also whispered: "Dad, I went to borrow money, but no one lent money to our family at all." Finally, Aunt Niu saw that she was still diligent in helping her clean up the vegetable field two days ago, and wanted to lend me ten copper coins, Liu Dongmei didn't know where to come out, and scolded Sang Huai. As a result, Aunt Niu was afraid of getting into trouble, so she didn't dare to borrow it. ”

Su Xiangui also sighed when he heard Su Fei'er say this.

Su Xiangui understood that the entire Pingshan Village knew that the Su family was poor and couldn't open the pot and couldn't eat enough, and it was normal for no one to borrow money. In addition, his third brother's daughter-in-law, Liu Wang, is the most famous spicy person in the village, and even her daughter Liu Dongmei is not relenting, no one wants to offend the third aunt's family, let alone anyone willing to help with this.

Su Xiangui looked at Su Fei'er, who had been shedding tears all the time, and was also distressed. Then he said: "Fei'er, I see that Jinyao has also grown up, and her mind is not shallow, so you will discuss with Jinyao more about everything in the future." Dad can see that Jinyao is also wholeheartedly for the good of this family. Dad still said the same thing, after all, you are sisters, you grew up in the same family, and you are always close. This love can't be alienated because of a little money, and if you thin your feelings, you can't make up for anything. Even if there is something really embarrassing, the two of you sisters support it together, and the city is slowly growing up, you can always have someone to take care of, and it won't be so bitter all the time. ”

Hearing Su Xiangui say this, Sophie rubbed her eyes, pulled back her tears, and said, "Dad, does this mean that you don't need me to be this family?" I know I don't really have any skills, and I've been tired and tired for so long, and I still let you eat chaff. But Jinyao was fine, and immediately let the family eat white rice. It's that I'm not good, I'm stupid, and I can't do things, let alone coax people. I don't care about it in the future, I'll just stay at home and do whatever I can. ”

When Sophie's choking words came out, Su Xiangui choked up, and some didn't know what to say. The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she thinks that Sophie has indeed suffered a lot for this family.

But you can't say that! No matter how you hear it, it doesn't taste right.

Su Xiangui had no choice but to say: "Dad thinks that there is nothing in our family that should not be a family." Dad didn't say that Fei'er was not, but told you sisters to be close to each other. Okay, you go and help them cook some food, and eat at the same table at night, what is right or wrong in the family? You are the eldest sister, so you should be more humble. ”

"Okay, I'm humble, I'm the eldest sister, there's nothing to worry about." Sophie said this, and got up and walked out. But when he walked to the door, he said again: "Anyway, this home has no two catties of rice in the jar, and less than three taels of oil in the jar. ”

"You, you kid ......" Su Xiangui was so angry that he trembled, and saw that Sophie had already gone out.

Su Xiangui grabbed a pillow and threw it over, but he didn't hit Sophie. Instead, the pillow fell at the door and could not be retrieved.

Sophie came to the courtyard, looked at the smoke rising from the kitchen over there, and looked at Su Cheng who was writing on the ground with his head down, and felt that his heart was not good.

Sophie came over, squatted beside Su Cheng, and asked, "Cheng'er, tell the eldest sister, what did you and your second sister do all day?" How can your second sister earn so much copper plate back? ”

"Don't tell." Xiao Cheng'er glanced up at the eldest sister, shook his head and said very resolutely.

"Cut, you kid, forgot that your eldest sister hurts you?" Sophie reached out and slapped Su Cheng's brain, and said, "Dad said, we are a family, do you still think that the eldest sister can pit your money?" Tell me about the eldest sister, what kind of business is it, or where did you go to help? The eldest sister also went to help, and our family will be able to make money faster when we turn back. Isn't this also trying to help your second sister pay off her debts? ”

Su Cheng put down the branch in his hand, looked at Sophie, and said seriously: "Eldest sister, even if you make money, it's not to help the second sister pay off her debts, it's to help me pay off my debts." I caused this disaster, I don't lose money, I'm afraid that the third aunt's family won't give up easily, and the second sister must have no choice, so she should pay this 100 yuan. Originally, she was forced to pay their family 100 yuan in three days, and the second sister was embarrassed enough, but we still made trouble for her and embarrassed her, that is, we were wrong. If I had a way to make money, I wouldn't embarrass my second sister and take this debt for me. I don't have any money now, if the second sister really helps me pay back this money, this will be a favor to me Su Cheng, I will remember it for the rest of my life, and I will repay the second sister well in the future. ”

Su Cheng said these words, which happened to be heard by Su Jinyao, who was about to come out to fetch water. Immediately, I felt that my heart was hot and sour, and that kind of heart-warming pity made Su Jinyao's nose start to sour.

I couldn't help it, Su Jinyao hurriedly turned around and went back to the house, and started cooking.

And Sophie was stunned by Su Cheng's words, and felt panicked in her heart. glared at Cheng'er, stood up and said, "How can you afford to pay a hundred yuan, it's not worth selling you." Besides, if it weren't for that rabbit skin, if it weren't for your second sister's stinginess and she couldn't swallow that breath, would you go to your third aunt's house to ask for it? Isn't this because of your second sister? You're still talking to her. ”

"Big sister!" Su Cheng was so angry that he spoke much higher, and he also stood up and said suddenly, "You still say." If you hadn't given the rabbit skin to the third aunt's house behind our back, would I have asked for it? Why is the third aunt worried about our family's things, and she deserves to beat her. ”

"Sioux City!" Sophie also shouted angrily: "The third aunt was not injured by me, I will compensate for her, am I still wrong?" People in the village said that Yao'er was not stupid, but she was crazy and beat people indiscriminately. If I don't pay for this gift, let the third aunt's family report to the official and arrest her? Am I not because I feel sorry for her? ”

"I won't tell you." Su Cheng stomped his foot in anger and turned around and entered the house. He really can't quarrel with his eldest sister. I can't argue with my mouth, but the eldest sister's voice is high, and when I hear it for the second sister for a while, I feel uncomfortable.

In fact, Su Jinyao had already heard everything that Su Fei'er and Su Cheng had quarreled about. She blamed Sophie in her heart, but Su Cheng's every word also comforted her. Thinking that she is no longer Su Yao'er, she is not Su Cheng's real sister, but Su Fei'er is Su Cheng's sister, and she can't be inserted in the middle of that pair of sisters and brothers, so that their sisters and brothers turn against each other.

Even if it was those heartwarming words for Xiaocheng'er, Su Jinyao felt that it was worth being more tolerant of him.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao turned on the fire on the stove, quickly cooked the meal, and put it on the table. Then he went out with two bowls of rice and vegetables, glanced at Sophie, put the food in front of Sophie and said, "You send it to Dad, I'll go and ask Xiaocheng'er to eat." ”

"Hmph." Sophie was still angry, but after taking a look at the food, she got up and took it to Su Xiangui's house.

Su Jinyao shook her head and turned around and entered the back room. I saw Xiao Cheng'er sitting on the edge of the kang, pulling the hem of his clothes and sulking there.

Su Jinyao entered the house, walked over with a smile and pulled Su Cheng's hand away, and asked, "What's the matter, don't you think your clothes are torn enough?" Or do you want to tear it up early and let the second sister buy a new one? ”

"Second sister, I didn't mean that." Xiao Cheng'er looked up at Su Jinyao, pursed her lips, and said, "Second sister, I understand that you are also bitter in your heart. You've been stupid for so many years and suddenly got better, but the whole village didn't look at you right, everyone was chewing their tongues, thinking about watching your jokes, and no one was kind to you. Big sister she...... She probably couldn't turn this corner in her heart. In fact, she is also for your good, afraid that others will talk about your beating and hurt you, don't blame her. ”

"I don't blame her. Everyone has a different personality and a different way of dealing with problems, but in fact, if you figure it out, it's not a big deal. The palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and the second sister knows your mind better, and she also knows that you are caught in the middle and are in a dilemma. I am your second sister, and the eldest sister is also your relative, so the second sister will not compete for favor, and will not let you judge in your heart who is better and who you prefer. You remember, they are all relatives, regardless of distance and proximity, and the second sister will not be angry with the eldest sister. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pulled Xiaocheng'er up and said, "Okay, let's come out to eat." After all, we are a family, and we grew up eating in the same pot, so how can we really get angry. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Xiao Cheng'er also laughed. In Xiaocheng'er's heart, although the eldest sister is weak, she loves to be top-notch at home, and she thinks she is the eldest sister in everything, and she can't tolerate others saying that she is not.

When my mother was still alive, she was also the best for the eldest sister. In the words of my mother, "The girl's family has to be more noble to live, and the girl raised in this way also has a rich and noble spirit, and her life is good." ”

But as a result, the eldest sister's temper was raised, but her mother died early. Instead, I have to let the eldest sister support the family, and the eldest sister falls out of her mother's love, and she has to take on the burden of the family, and it is normal for her heart to be unable to get by.

Now that the second sister is also better, it is rare that the second sister is not a little squeamish, but it makes Xiaocheng'er feel relieved. This is also the reason why Xiaocheng'er loves to stand on Su Jinyao's side in everything.

But then again, after all, it's still a family, and it's a brother and sister who are related by blood, so how can they be really angry.

Now that Su Jinyao has taken a step, Xiao Cheng'er is naturally happy in her heart. And he felt that the second sister was even more generous in this way, and she was not stingy at all.

When I went out, I saw Sophie standing at the door of Su Xiangui with two bowls, as if she wanted to enter but didn't dare to enter. Maybe because of what Sophie said before, Su Xiangui is still angry.

Su Jinyao pushed Xiaocheng'er and motioned for him to come over to deliver food.

Xiao Cheng'er was very well-behaved and clever, and immediately understood what Su Jinyao meant. Nodding, he walked over and took the bowl from Sophie's hand, and said through the door, "Dad, I'm here to bring you food." ”

"I don't eat it. Daddy's heart is blocked. Su Xiangui roared, and then there was a "bang" sound, probably knocking on the edge of the bed again.

Su Cheng turned his head and glared at Su Fei'er, which clearly meant that she shouldn't have gone to her father to complain. Although my father was paralyzed on the kang, he was still the head of the family after all. If he watched the children quarrel but couldn't manage it, and he would be robbed of a few words by Sophie, he would naturally be angry.

Su Fei'er was originally scolded by Su Xiangui, and she was unhappy, but now Xiaocheng'er glared at her again, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, so she "hummed", turned around and left. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Su Jinyao standing a few steps away, looking at this side.

Sophie suddenly felt a fire in her heart, and felt that Su Jinyao was deliberately watching her jokes.

"Forget it, my dad won't eat it, and I won't eat it either. It's not worth wasting white rice to feed me, a heartless girl. Sophie turned around and went back to their house, slamming the door shut.

Su Jinyao was glared at by Sophie, and she felt innocent. But when I think about it, I find it interesting. This Sophie is really a little childish, in other words, a little princess sick.

After figuring it out, Su Jinyao was no longer angry. She's not a stingy person, and she's too lazy to be angry with someone who isn't very relevant in the first place.

Anyway, if Sophie takes her well, she will remember it wholeheartedly. What if Sophie treats her badly? Su Jinyao has been a killer since she started, and she is not even afraid of being killed, do you still care how a little girl treats her badly?

However, as soon as she turned her head, Su Jinyao saw that Xiaocheng'er was still standing at Su Xiangui's door, and persuaded Su Xiangui to eat sentence by sentence.

Su Jinyao shook her head and sighed, thinking that this Sophie's temper followed Su Xiangui? Why are one or two of them so fond of petty tempers?

Su Jinyao didn't mean to persuade her, but turned around and went back to the kitchen, put all the food she had served before in a basin, used a basin instead of a tray to bring it out, and came directly to the door of Su Xiangui's house.

Su Jinyao motioned for Xiaocheng'er to come in too, and then also entered the house with a basin. After entering the house, Su Jinyao didn't speak, just put the basin containing the food on the edge of the kang, and then went to move the small kang table over. After setting the kang table straight, Su Jinyao began to move the rice and vegetables to the table again.

Su Xiangui watched Su Jinyao fill the small kang table, and then asked, "Jinyao, what are you doing here?" ”

"Eat." Su Jinyao said, beckoned Xiao Cheng'er and said, "Come here, what are you still standing for?" Hurry up and put down the meal, let's eat with my dad today. ”

"Eating with Daddy?" Xiao Cheng'er was stunned for a moment, then laughed, happily put the food aside, he sat on the edge of the kang and threw his two shoes, and jumped on the kang. After getting on the kang, Xiao Cheng'er sat at the other end of the kang table, and then said: "It's good to eat together, since my mother left, our family only ate together during the Chinese New Year." ”

"Jinyao, I can't help it, dad is in this house...... It stinks. Su Xiangui hurriedly waved his hand, and while shrinking back, he pulled the quilt to cover his legs.

Su Jinyao hurriedly came over and grabbed Su Xiangui and said, "Dad, how can we dislike you as children." What's more, the environment and air in your house are not good, because we didn't take good care of you. Don't worry, give me a few more days, and I'll get new bedding for our family. If you have more room to spare, you will find someone to repair the house, and the kang will be rebuilt. When the days are better in the future, you can also invite someone to serve your father. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Su Xiangui was stunned. After a long time, his eyes turned red and he shook his head with a smile and said, "Dad knows Jinyao's filial piety, it's Dad...... It's a drag on you. ”
