Su Jinyao flashed and avoided it. The man was also stunned for a moment, and then he gestured "babbling", seeing that it meant that he should be apologizing.

"Siping, why did you come out with you? I'm just going out and going. As soon as Chun Niu saw this man, she said.

Su Jinyao saw that this man couldn't speak, so she guessed that he should be Chunniu's man Siping. I only heard Chunniu say that she was the filler of the Li family's Siping, that is, Siping's daughter-in-law died, so she married Chunniu again.

Now I look at Li Siping's appearance of twenty-four or five-year-old, he looks very thoughtful, and his face is kind, but he is a man who does his duty.

Especially as soon as Chunniu and Siping talked, Siping walked to Chunniu's side while "babbling", and it seemed that he wanted to go out with Chunniu.

Chunniu's face turned red, pushed Siping, pointed at Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao is still there, what are you doing with me." I went out with Jinyao for a walk, and you followed? ”

When Siping heard this, he looked at Su Jinyao again, and smiled at Su Jinyao, quite shy, as if he was embarrassed.

Su Jinyao thinks that this Siping is a good person, she knows how to love her daughter-in-law, and she is quite shy and kind, although Chun Niu married him as a house-filler, she didn't look like she would be angry. But, why did Chun Niu cry just now?

Just thinking about it, I heard Aunt Li's voice from the courtyard: "Jinyao is here?" Why don't you come in? Do you want to buy groceries? ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly agreed, and walked towards the door.

Chun Niu glanced quietly into the courtyard, and when Su Jinyao entered the door, she let Dao Kung Fu and whispered: "Jinyao, I'm waiting for you over there in Old Su City." After saying that, Chun Niu hurriedly went out and left.

Siping glanced at Su Jinyao, smiled at Su Jinyao, and followed Chunniu to hurry away.

Su Jinyao naturally heard Chunniu's words, but her expression was very calm, and she didn't show any performance, so she went straight to the door.

Aunt Li was carrying a bucket in one hand and a scoop in the other, and was sprinkling water into the vegetable garden. Seeing Su Jinyao enter the door, he smiled and said, "Jinyao, did you meet Chun Niu at the door?" She has a temper tantrum and is homesick, and you can help me persuade her in a while. ”

"Oh? Chun Niu is homesick? I didn't pay attention, I just met at the door, and I didn't speak. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she said, "Aunt Li, I'm here to buy rice and vegetables." I have to apologize to you by the way, last time you gave me a bowl of sauce, but I was careless, and even the sauce with a bowl was beaten. The bowl has not been returned to you for a long time. Today's grocery shopping happens to be counted by you, and I'll lose money for you. ”

"Ah, Jinyao, what you said is really far away, Aunt Li's family can still lack your bowl? The years are safe, and when you fight, you will fight, and you are still talking about what to lose? See Aunt Li? Aunt Li said, put down the bucket and scoop in her hand, walked over and said, "Don't say, I saw your eldest sister go to Qiuhong's house to buy vegetables yesterday, and I really thought you were out with me." I didn't expect you to come today. ”

Aunt Li's words were not interesting, and Su Jinyao was also a little embarrassed. smiled and said, "I wasn't at home yesterday, and I don't know where my eldest sister went to buy vegetables." It's not like I'm here today. ”

"Hehe, yes. Jinyao didn't feel uncomfortable, Aunt Li was fast-mouthed, straight-hearted, and muttered casually. After Aunt Li finished speaking, she pointed to the vegetables and said, "Look, how good Aunt Li's dishes are, you can pick them hard, and Aunt Li will pick them fresh for you." ”

"Hey, okay." Su Jinyao nodded, looked at the vegetable and said, "One pound of chili pepper and two pounds of celery." You can just cut me with a knife when you look at the leeks, and you won't need many leeks to scramble an egg. ”

"Scrambled eggs with leeks. That's a bright dish. Jinyao, your family's life has gotten better all of a sudden. Aunt Li said while going down to the field to pick vegetables.

Su Jinyao smiled and nodded, but did not respond. She can't brag to others about how capable she is. What's more, the money she earns is actually a small amount of money, and she has to encounter a big opportunity to make a lot of money.

After picking peppers and celery, and cutting leeks again, Aunt Li put the vegetables aside first and asked, "Jinyao, what else do you want to order?" ”

Su Jinyao said: "I still have to buy rice." Let's come to three catties of polished rice. I forgot to ask my father for money, but with the money in my pocket, I can buy three catties of rice. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter if you forget to bring the money, if you want to buy anything, take it back first, and just go back and ask Cheng'er to send me the money. In a village, there are not a few steps from the east to the west of the village. Aunt Li said as she walked to the shed in the back and went to weigh the rice.

After a while, Aunt Li came back with a bag of millet. While piercing his mouth, he said: "Three catties of polished rice, high." Jinyao, don't worry, if you buy rice and vegetables at Aunt Li's house, you won't be off the scales. ”

Su Jinyao was busy: "Don't worry, I know Aunt Li is real." ”

"Hehe, yes. The folks in the township, of course, are really good. Aunt Li handed the millet bag to Su Jinyao, and then began to weigh the dishes in the same way.

"I picked two more chili peppers, so let's count them according to one catty. Celery is also two catties high, this celery is tender, not firewood at all. Aunt Li said while muttering: "Cut the leeks with this knife...... A pound and a half. Let's count it according to a pound. Otherwise, the cut leeks will not taste good overnight, and my family's dinner is ready, and I don't plan to fry a leek egg again. ”

Su Jinyao just stood quietly and waited for Aunt Li to pass the scales, knowing in her heart that this was something that women often talked about when buying and selling things, so she didn't say anything.

When they were all weighed, Aunt Li put the things in the basket and calculated: "Three catties of polished rice are thirty-six yuan, and chili peppers and celery are four yuan a catty, and a total of three catties is twelve yuan." Leeks are counted as a pound, three cents. That's a total of fifty-one cents. Jinyao, you just give fifty wen. ”

Su Jinyao took the basket, handed over the small money bag in her hand with a smile, and said, "It's fifty-two coins, Aunt Li, you can keep it." You have given me all these dishes, and I can't always take advantage of you, right? ”

"Ah, where is it, how can there be a seller, and the reason why you are still kidnapping a penny. Say as much as you want, or you can give fifty-one articles. I didn't lose anything, and you didn't take advantage of it. With that, Aunt Li was about to take a penny out of the money bag.

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "No, no, Aunt Li, you can take it all." That's how I can come back next time. Favors are favors, buying and selling are buying and selling, you have done your duty, I said you can't ask for it. I'm leaving, you go back and count the money, I counted with Xiaocheng'er before, it should be the same. ”

Su Jinyao said, carrying the basket and already going out.

Aunt Li hurriedly followed to the door, and didn't mention the matter of taking the money out again.

Su Jinyao went out with the basket, and she didn't know if Aunt Li counted the money. Afraid that this matter would not be true, he quietly glanced back and saw Aunt Li standing in the door, counting the money sideways.

Su Jinyao smiled, thinking it was quite interesting, so she left with confidence.

Out of the gate of the Li family, Su Jinyao glanced back again. Seeing that Aunt Li entered the house after counting the money, she should be ready to put the money away, so she turned a corner and walked towards the old Su City. Chun Niu is still waiting for her over there.

The old Sioux tree was very thick, with large scars on its trunk and branches hanging down to the ground.

Su Jinyao walked over and took a look, only to see Chunniu standing behind Old Su Cheng, as if muttering something. And her family Siping squatted under the roots of the tree, looking up at Chun Niu and smiling. That look, that gentleness in his eyes, is the gaze of a good man looking at a woman he likes.

Su Jinyao was happy for Chunniu, and she didn't bother the two of them without saying a word, turned her back and pretended to shake off her skirt, as if she was waiting for Chunniu here. In fact, I also want to hear what happened to Chunniu.

I heard Chunniu whispering: "I know you can't hear it, and you can't call the shots for me, I'm married to you, and I'm a member of your family." But I still have my father, my mother, my younger siblings, and my grandfather at home, how can I not care about them? ”

Before Chunniu said that Siping couldn't hear, just now I saw him gesturing and knew that he couldn't speak. Probably because of this, Chun Niu quietly told him what was in her heart.

Then I heard Chunniu say: "If your family doesn't let me eat at the table, I don't care about that, but I still think about my mother's family, this, how can I not worry about this." I really want to live a good life with you, if I give you a baby, won't your family think I have an outside heart? Isn't that wary of me? ”

Of course, Siping still didn't speak, only laughed with "hehe", it is estimated that he could only look at Chunniu's mouth shape and guess something. But it's impossible to guess exactly.

Hearing this, Su Jinyao couldn't stand it anymore. But she knew that it was someone else's family affair and that she shouldn't take care of it, so she pretended not to hear it, and made the sound of shaking off her skirt louder.

Of course, Chun Niu heard it, and hurriedly turned around from behind Lao Su Cheng and shouted, "Jin Yao, I'm here." ”

"Ah, why are you behind a tree?" Su Jinyao walked over to Chun Niu with a smile and said, "I just came, and I didn't see you either." I'm wondering if you and your family Siping have gone elsewhere. ”

"No, I'll be waiting for you here." Chun Niu said, pulled Su Jinyao again, and asked her to stand behind the tree, as if she was afraid of being seen.

Su Jinyao smiled, pulled by her, and asked her, "Something?" ”

Chunniu nodded and said seriously: "Well, I just want to ask you something." Can you come to my house early tomorrow morning and talk to my sister-in-law, just say that you are going to Lijiatun and let me show you the way. ”

"Why do you want me to say it?" Su Jinyao still remembers that Chunniu said that her mother's family is Li Jiatun. And Su Jinyao heard Xiaocheng'er say that Lijiatun is a poorer place than Pingshan Village. So she doesn't plan to go to Lijiatun for the time being.

Chunniu flattened her mouth, pulled Su Jinyao and asked, "Then are you unwilling to help me?" ”

Seeing Chunniu like this, it doesn't look like she's angry or coquettish, but it looks like she's really helpless. Su Jinyao was not very enthusiastic, but suddenly felt that it was actually good to have a friend who she relied on and needed her help at the same time. She seems to be more and more willing to be an increasingly ordinary girl.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's not that you don't want to help." But if I want to help, there must be a reason. I have to know if it's suitable to help you, will it be a disadvantage? Tell me, maybe I can give you an idea. ”

Chun Niu then said: "My father is sick." In fact, my father has always been sick, and this time he was in a hurry to marry me because he asked for money to treat my father. My mother asked my brother to bring a letter yesterday, saying that I should go back and have a look, and that it would ...... also said that I was afraid that I would see one side less. ”

"Then let's just say it." Su Jinyao felt a little strange and asked, "You and your sister-in-law have made it clear, can she not let you go back?" ”

"It's not that you won't let me, it's that you can't trust me." Chunniu flattened her mouth again, looked down at Siping, who was still squatting on the ground, looked at herself, smiled and said: "My Siping is a good person, he has a good heart, he is good to me, I am bent on living with him." So I thought, let my sister-in-law give all the bride price money owed to my family. First, I came to see my father, and second, I was completely a member of the Li family. I can tell my mother that she can't always worry about asking me to get money home. ”

Hearing Chunniu's words, Su Jinyao was a little stunned, she didn't understand these things very well, so she pulled Chunniu and asked, "I don't understand, what kind of bride price are you talking about?" You're your father's daughter, they're sick, isn't it normal for you to take the money home? ”

"If you get married, you are someone else's family. But I'm a house-filler now, and I haven't conceived a child for the Li family, so I'm not a member of the Li family. Speaking of this, Chunniu looked down at Siping again and said, "At the beginning, my sister-in-law asked someone to go to my house to talk to the matchmaker, which explained that she was filling the house in Siping's house. also said that the last daughter-in-law left without being pregnant, and Siping could not be left without roots. The reason why he was willing to marry me in Lijiatun was because I was in good shape and hoped to give birth to a child in Siping. At that time, I also agreed with my mother that the bride price would only be given half, and the other half would be given when I was pregnant. ”

"Ahh Su Jinyao's scalp tightened when she heard this, and she felt that this thing sounded really bad. Isn't it obvious that you want to buy a tool to give birth to and go home?

Hearing Su Jinyao's surprised voice, Chun Niu hurriedly came to cover Su Jinyao's mouth, and then said, "Don't be like this, you are still a girl, you don't understand these things." Isn't it so particular about filling houses, if people can't give birth to a daughter-in-law, what do they need a daughter-in-law to do? But now I feel that Siping is good everywhere except for being deaf and dumb, so I want to live with him wholeheartedly. Therefore, I want my sister-in-law to give the remaining five taels of silver to my mother's family, and I promise to live a good life. ”

"Then just say it, what do you mean by letting me say it? Take you back secretly, and you'll be rich? Su Jinyao still felt that no matter what she said, she couldn't use her head.

Chunniu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." My mother and sister-in-law discussed that the bride price would be ten taels of silver, five taels first, and then five taels of silver when I was pregnant. If I can't conceive in three years, I can be regarded as a member of the Li family, if I don't have any second heart and live a good life, I will also give these five taels of silver. But now that my father is not sick, my mother must have asked me to go back and have a look, and she must have wanted me to take the money back. I'm going to go back and have a look first, and tell my mother if I can make the bride price less. I told my sister-in-law again, give four taels of silver now, and I will be a member of the Li family; It's really not good, it's okay to give three taels. However, my sister-in-law didn't let me go back, probably because I was afraid that I would stay at my parents' house and not come back. ”

This time, Su Jinyao understood it. The mother's family who dared to love Chun Niu sold this girl, but she couldn't get the other half of the bride price, so she was worried about letting her go home. Maybe it's also an idea, if the Li family doesn't give the other half of the bride price, they will detain Chunniu and not let her come back.

But Chunniu wants to go back and negotiate a price with her mother, and then go back and let Aunt Li get some money, even if she completely dissociates herself from her mother's family, she will live well with Siping.

Speaking carefully, Su Jinyao is not worth it for Chunniu, and she is sad for her.

Chun Niu wants to live with Siping, and Siping seems to be quite satisfied with Chun Niu. But they didn't think that their mother's family treated Chun Niu as a commodity, and what they sold was her body and belly; And the Li family bought Chunniu, of course, they didn't trust her very much, and they were afraid that she would not live a good life, and they were afraid that she would run home and not come back, and the five taels of silver before that would be spent in vain.

On the contrary, Chun Niu is still thinking about both ends. She didn't think that her mother might keep her, or maybe someone with a high bid would sell her again. She still remembered Siping in her heart, and was even willing to help the Li family go back to her parents' house to negotiate the price, so that her mother agreed to charge less bride price.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao couldn't help but look at Chunniu, in fact, when Su Jinyao saw this woman for the first time, she felt that she really didn't have a bad heart, and she was a real person. Otherwise, Su Jinyao would not agree to be friends with her.

Chunniu didn't speak to Su Jinyao, she was a little anxious, and asked, "Jinyao, can you help me with this?" You tell my sister-in-law tomorrow morning that you are going to Lijiatun, but you don't know the way, just let me show you the way. When you get out of the village, you can go wherever you like, I promise to leave quickly, I can arrive in more than an hour, and I will come back after saying a word to my mother. ”

Su Jinyao secretly laughed in her heart, feeling that Chun Niu was thinking too simply. couldn't help asking: "Chunniu, think about it, your sister-in-law is so big, I have to call her 'Aunt Li', can she still believe me?" I'm usually idle, why do I have to go to Lijiatun? And just in time for you to go home, let you show me the way? Who would believe such a lie? ”

"This ...... Isn't that a coincidence? You just say it's a coincidence. Chun Niu said again: "Actually, my sister-in-law can trust you." The few times you came to my house to buy rice and vegetables, my sister-in-law said that you are not stupid, and it is very different from before. And said that your Su family is so poor, and now you can ** rice every day, and you have fresh vegetables all of a sudden, most of which is your credit. So my sister-in-law knows that I am good with you, and she is quite happy, let me learn more from you, so that I can make money in the future. That's why I thought I'd ask you for help. If it really doesn't work, you just make up a lie, saying that you take me and me out to make money. ”
