"Jinyao, let's make you sleep. My aunt has something on her mind, so I'll come to you to ask. As soon as Aunt Li saw Su Jinyao come out, she hurriedly walked over, although she was still smiling, she could already see that she was smiling a little reluctantly.

"Aunt Li, you ask." Su Jinyao is not a person who likes to go around in circles, not to mention that she also wants to know what can make Aunt Li so anxious to find her home.

"It's about my fourth brother's daughter-in-law, Chunniu." Speaking of this, Aunt Li looked at Su Jinyao, her eyes were a little strange, and then she said, "Actually, as soon as I entered the gate of your Su family, I knew that Chunniu was lying." I'm waiting for you to get up, that is, I want to ask, did she tell you yesterday? ”

"Yesterday?" Su Jinyao felt like a mirror in her heart, but she didn't answer immediately, she pretended to think for a while before she said, "When I went home, I saw Chun Niu and Siping and said a few words. She said her dad was sick and she was worried. What's wrong, Aunt Li? ”

"Well, actually, I've been sick all along." Aunt Li's words are the same as those of Chunniu. But as soon as the conversation turned, she asked again: "Chunniu didn't say that you asked you to help her lie?" ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Aunt Li, just say what you mean." What do you mean that as soon as you enter my house, you know that Chun Niu is lying? I got close to Chunniu, but it wasn't too close, it was just a few more words when we met, and I wouldn't help her lie. ”

Aunt Li heard Su Jinyao say this, sighed again, and said: "It's not early in the morning, Chunniu came to tell me that you are going to Lijiatun, saying that you are going to do a small business, but the mountain road is far away, and you are lonely walking, let her be your companion." I was busy watering the vegetable patch, so I let her go without thinking about it. But when I'm done with my work, I feel that something is wrong, so why don't I come to your house and ask? As soon as I came, Fei'er and Cheng'er both said that you were still sleeping. You said that my spring girl, didn't she leave by herself. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Li's face was very bad. The smile on his face was gone, and he pouted and said, "I knew that the white-eyed wolf was the one who took a fancy to my family's wealth, and came to ask for money." ”

As soon as Aunt Li said this, Su Jinyao's heart was also panicked. asked, "Is that really what Chun Niu said?" And then she left alone? ”

"yes." Aunt Li looked unhappy and said, "I was so worried about her everywhere, but she didn't get any benefits, so she left by herself." If you believe her in everything, I guess you'll have a lot of money at this time. Our Li family has suffered a big loss. ”

As he was talking, he saw Siping appear at the door, hurriedly entered the door, and came to Aunt Li. He couldn't speak, but he screamed "ahhh

Of course, Su Jinyao couldn't understand Siping's gestures, and Aunt Li also looked at it for a long time before saying, "Siping, don't say that you don't believe that Chunniu left you and left." If she has the heart to live a good life with you, she will go back to her parents' house and say that she will go back to her parents' house, why do she still lie to us? As a result, he still pulled the Su family's Jinyao as a cover, isn't it all clear that I came to ask this question? They didn't plan to go to Lijiatun at all. ”

When Aunt Li said this, Siping turned around to look at Su Jinyao, and waved her hand at Su Jinyao again, her eyes looking very anxious. It looks like asking Su Jinyao to help Chunniu say a good word.

What Aunt Li said made Su Jinyao have no way to refute it, after all, it was a matter for the Li family. She never expected that Chun Niu would be so confused, make up such a lie and leave, but instead pulled herself into the water.

But yesterday, when I saw Chunniu and Siping together, it really didn't look like it would be deceiving. Su Jinyao would rather believe that Chunniu also really has feelings for Siping, but it was because she was worried about her father that she used such a brainless plan.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao asked, "Aunt Li, how long has Chun Niu been gone?" ”

Aunt Li said: "At least more than half an hour." I didn't calculate it, but the time is not short. ”

"Aunt Li, in fact, I originally planned to go to Lijiatun, but I didn't plan to go today. Since Chunniu said so, I'll go to Lijiatun and get her back. Aunt Li, don't worry, Chun Niu will not be the kind of woman who doesn't care about her family, and it is estimated that she is really worried about her father. I'll go check and persuade her to come back. Don't take it to heart, she is back, you should still believe her. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she said to Xiao Cheng'er: "Cheng'er, pack up my sister's things, fill it with water, and then wrap up the curtains and tablecloths that my eldest sister washed yesterday, and put them on a small board car for me." ”

Su Jinyao was not a warm-hearted person, but this incident Chunniu pulled her up, which made Su Jinyao feel that she was not a person inside and out.

Anyway, she also has plans to go around the nearby Tunzi, so she simply went to Lijiatun today. First, let's see what kind of small business can I do, and secondly, I also ask Chunniu why she is involved in herself.

Su Jinyao is such a more serious character, and she can't allow others to use her as a disguise. If Chun Niu really has a hard time, forget it, otherwise, Su Jinyao will not spare her.

Aunt Li heard Su Jinyao say that she was going to find Chunniu, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over and pulled Su Jinyao aside.

Su Jinyao didn't like to be casually touched by people other than her family, so she avoided it in a flash, but she still followed Aunt Li to the side and asked, "Aunt Li, is there anything else?" ”

"Jinyao, Aunt Li just wants to thank you. In addition, if you see Chunniu, help Aunt Li with a word. After a pause, Aunt Li glanced at Siping, who was still standing in place and looking at this side, and turned her back again, apparently to prevent Siping from seeing the shape of her mouth, and then said: "If Chun Niu doesn't want to come back, forget it, you say that they will return the bride price of five taels of silver." It's okay to bring it back for you, but if they don't want to give it, I'll ask the matchmaker to go to his house and ask for it. After all, it was said at the beginning, but now that the people have run away, our Li family can't leave nothing behind, and finally come to a chicken and egg fight. ”

When Aunt Li said this, Su Jinyao felt a little uncomfortable. She still believes in Chunniu, after all, Chunniu still feels very real. And when I saw the relationship between Siping and Chunniu yesterday, it really didn't look like I was acting.

But the meaning of Aunt Li's words, no matter how you hear it, it seems that she doesn't want people to come back, but it seems that she just wants to return the bride price.

Su Jinyao took a step back and kept her distance from Aunt Li, before she said, "Aunt Li, this is your Li family's business, I don't care, I can't care about it." I just want to go to Lijiatun and ask Chunniu why she is using me as a cover. If she wants to come back with me, I'll get her back, and if she doesn't, I'll try to persuade her to come back and make it clear to you. As for the rest, when she comes back, you can tell her yourself. ”

Su Jinyao felt that Chun Niu was talking about herself and pushing herself out to the thunder, so she tried her best to get Chun Niu back, even if this article was over. But if Aunt Li let her take it, it was their Li family's own business, and Su Jinyao felt that it had nothing to do with her.

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Aunt Li pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Just looked back at Siping again, walked over to Siping and said, "Let's go, go home first and wait." Jin Yao is willing to help find Chunniu, no matter what, our family's silver can't be spent in vain. ”

Su Jinyao knew when she heard that Aunt Li's last sentence seemed to be said to herself. Although I was not happy, I didn't bother to say anything.

Aunt Li and Siping left, and Su Jinyao entered the kitchen. She remembered that she had been working all day in town and hadn't even eaten, and as a result, she had low blood sugar on the way back and almost couldn't come back. So before going out today, she had to eat breakfast properly.

Sophie had already made breakfast, but it was still yesterday's leftovers, and as soon as it was hot, everything that could be stewed was stewed together. It's not delicious, but it's not unpalatable.

Su Jinyao picked up a bowl of risotto and was eating, when Su Fei'er and Xiaocheng'er came in. Su Jinyao pointed to the risotto on the table with the chopsticks in her hand, and said, "I see that you haven't eaten it either, so let's eat it together." After eating, I have to go to Lijiatun. ”

"Jin Yao, do you really want to help the Li family find someone?" Sophie sat at the table, but instead of eating, she asked first.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yesterday, Chunniu did tell me that she was going home, and I blamed me for not thinking much about it at the time, so I didn't persuade her." As a result, she left by herself, and used me as a cover, and I was a little unhappy, so I wanted to ask for an understanding. Besides, if she is really in trouble, I can take a look at her home and help her. ”

After listening to Su Jinyao's words, Su Fei'er leaned over and pressed the chopsticks in Su Jinyao's hand, and asked, "Then you don't want to think about it, the Li family obviously knows that Chun Niu is gone, why don't they rush to chase people, but they push this thing on you?" It stands to reason that Aunt Li suspects that Chunniu ran away by herself, so she should go and chase Chunniu back first. ”

Su Fei'er asked Su Jinyao if she knew what the Li family meant, and Su Jinyao understood, things didn't seem to be so simple. But she really didn't have so much attention to these trivial housework, so she simply asked Sophie: "Eldest sister, what do you think?" Let's talk about it. ”

"What else can there be, that is, the Li family doesn't want Chunniu's daughter-in-law anymore, so they force Chunniu to leave, and then ask their family to return the bride price money." Only then did Su Fei'er let go of Su Jinyao's chopsticks, let her eat, and said to herself: "I guess, Aunt Li deliberately brought this matter to our house, just to let everyone in the village know that Chun Niu was planned and determined to leave, and then ran away under the guise of using you." ”

Hearing this, Su Jinyao couldn't help but think of what she heard Chun Niu and Siping say yesterday. Chunniu seemed to say: If your family doesn't let me eat at the table, forget it, I don't care about that.

From this point of view, the Li family has never regarded Chun Niu as a family, and they didn't even let her eat at the table.

Su Jinyao frowned, and asked again: "Then since Aunt Li's family is not satisfied with Chunniu, why did they marry her in the first place?" ”

"Maybe I wasn't dissatisfied. But after marrying into the door, I realized that Chunniu's family was so poor, and poor relatives always came to the door, so I was tired of it. Speaking of this, Sophie sighed, looked up at her kitchen, and said with a wry smile: "Isn't this the case for a girl from a poor family, or find someone who is just as poor, and no one in the two families will dislike anyone, and they will still live a hard life." If you marry better, then you will cut off contact with your mother's family, otherwise your husband's family will dislike it. Afraid of marrying a daughter-in-law and multiple thieves, he took the things of his mother-in-law's family to supplement his mother's family. ”

Sophie said that her mouth was bitter, and Su Jinyao also understood what she meant. Thinking about what Chun Niu said before, there is still a saying that you can only give the bride price if you are pregnant first, it seems that Chun Niu's difficulties are really not small.

The more she thought about it, the more Su Jinyao felt that she should go to Lijiatun. After all, Chun Niu is the first outsider who thinks it's not bad after she crossed over. Even if there is no affection, at least the impression is good, Su Jinyao doesn't want to believe that she has looked away.

Besides, if Chun Niu really encountered such a big difficulty, then she didn't look at people wrongly, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand. After all, if you want to have a good friend like an ordinary person and get along well, there is no reason to watch your friends encounter difficulties but just want to clean themselves up.

Su Jinyao felt that she was still a very righteous person. The killer's coldness and cold-bloodedness seem to have gradually warmed up.

With such an idea, Su Jinyao finished eating the rice in the bowl, put down the chopsticks and said, "Eldest sister, since I promised Aunt Li, I have to go to Lijiatun." The family will be handed over to you, hard work. Xiaocheng'er, you still go to our old place, and when you have time, memorize and write the three-character scripture I taught you. The second sister is estimated to come back in the evening, and she will have to take the exam when she comes back. Oh, and you don't have to wait for me to eat, but you'll have to leave me a mouthful. ”

Su Jinyao estimated that since Lijiatun was poorer than Pingshan Village, there might not be any decent restaurants. I have to walk back and forth in the mountains, and I might as well come back after dinner outside.

Xiao Cheng'er agreed and said, "Second sister, everything you said is loaded, and the bamboo tube is also placed on the small cart." Be careful on your way. ”

Sophie pulled Su Jinyao again and asked, "Are you still going?" What I mean is to tell you, in fact, it's the same whether you go to find Chun Niu or not, the Li family probably doesn't want this daughter-in-law. ”

"Then I'll have to go. Chunniu is right, she just wants to see her sick father, why did she let the Li family take a break? If the Li family is really allowed to take a break, what will Chun Niu do in the future? Although Su Jinyao didn't know if there were any bad habits in this mountain village, she knew very well that as long as the ancient women were divorced, they would definitely not have a good life.

If Chunniu is really wrong, she won't persuade her to do anything, and she may scold her a few words, blaming her for deceiving herself. Or beat her up, let her have a longer memory, and don't use herself as a cover in the future.

But if Chunniu originally wanted to live a good life with Siping. is because the family is poor and is looked down upon by the Li family, and they are also thinking about retiring from the marriage and divorce their wives, so maybe even Chunniu's return is calculated by the Li family, and it is too pitiful for Chunniu to carry such a black pot to live.

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Su Fei'er flattened her mouth and stopped talking.

Su Jinyao went to Su Xiangui's house again and said hello, turned around and was about to leave.

Su Xiangui hurriedly stopped her and said, "Jin Yao, my father heard Aunt Li's words in the courtyard just now, and my father also felt that the Li family's matter was not simple. If you have to go, Dad won't stop you, but you have to be careful, Dad is afraid that there will be any changes in Chunniu's family, and he won't let go. ”

Su Xiangui's worries, Su Jinyao didn't think about it. This may also be the problem of Chunniu's mother's family, and if you want to detain Chunniu, just to get the rest of the bride price.

But Su Jinyao doesn't care about these things, as long as Chunniu doesn't lie to herself, she will treat her as a friend, and she will naturally think of helping Chunniu.

Su Jinyao agreed, turned around to leave, and Su Xiangui stopped her again: "Jinyao, after all, it's going out, bring some money." Even if you're hungry, buy a steamed bun to eat. ”

After speaking, Su Xiangui took out a small pocket and began to take out copper coins from the burden that Su Jinyao gave him before. I don't count, I just grab it one by one.

Su Jinyao looked at it and smiled. Hurriedly came over and pressed Su Xiangui's hand and said, "Dad, I'm not going far away, why are you loading so many copper plates for me?" Aren't you afraid that I'll walk in a panic? Besides, I'm a little girl, and I'm on the road with a hundred and ten copper coins, what if I meet a bad guy? ”

"Ahh When Su Xiangui heard this, his hands trembled with fright, and he began to pour copper plates out. He said on the other hand: "Yes, it was my father's carelessness, I didn't expect this section." I only think about the poor family's rich road, and I am afraid that you will have difficulties on the road, but you have no money in your pocket. ”

Su Xiangui's heart is full of care, Su Jinyao sees it all in her heart. Su Jinyao couldn't help but feel hot in her heart, and a little funny, and said, "Dad, I'll tease you." With the skills of your second girl, even if he comes to ten thieves, I don't care about them, and those thieves are unlucky. ”

"Go, little girl, talk nonsense. Tell me, how many copper plates do you want to take with you? It's not okay to bring it at all, but if you bring too much, Dad is really worried. After Su Xiangui finished speaking, he stuffed the small pocket into Su Jinyao's hand and said, "Install it yourself." ”

"It doesn't take much, ten copper plates are enough. I've got something with me. Anytime you run out of money, you can sell a few things. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she counted out ten copper plates and put them in her small pocket.

Su Jinyao packed ten copper plates, shook the small money bag in her hand, and smiled at Su Xiangui: "Dad, I think this money bag is a little smaller." In the future, let the eldest sister make me a bigger money bag, and I will go out to get ten copper plates every time, and I can fill a bag for you back. ”

"Silly girl, Dad hopes that you will be comfortable and happy. Our family's days are also full and warm. Don't look forward to how much money you make, don't work hard. Su Xiangui shook his head and smiled at Su Jinyao, feeling full of comfort and full of distress.

Although it is always said that this girl has grown up, Jinyao is only eleven after all. How difficult it must be for such a young child to carry a family.

Su Jinyao was looking forward to the warmth of family affection the most, but looking at Su Xiangui's loving and self-reproachful eyes, she felt too sensational in her heart. Quickly tugged the small money bag on his waist and said, "Dad, I'm leaving." Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. ”
