Chapter 56: Appearance

Sophie said that Su Jinyao was restless, so she shouldn't mean anything else. Su Jinyao didn't want to worry about anything with her because of a word, so she didn't want to take it to heart as a few words of preaching to her sister.

After eating a few bites of food, Sophie asked again, "Jinyao, you and Cheng'er made money again today?" ”

"Well, I earned thirty wen, give it to my father for twenty wen, and I'll take the remaining ten wen to the town." Su Jinyao replied, still hiding the two pennies that she gave to Xiaocheng'er.

Xiaocheng'er still eats, and he doesn't say anything, and he is probably secretly happy in his heart. Because of his sparkling eyes, he secretly looked at Su Jinyao and bent, and the corners of his mouth were quietly hooked.

Su Jinyao kicked Xiao Cheng'er under the table, so that he should not be too proud, he would be seen. However, these small movements of the two sisters and brothers were quiet, and they did not attract Sophie's attention.

Su Fei'er put down the rice bowl in her hand, sandwiched a piece of bacon stewed in cabbage for Xiao Cheng'er and Su Jinyao, and then said: "Jinyao, I actually think it, I earned twenty wen today, and I should be able to earn some tomorrow, right." Plus those copper plates in our pockets, it's a lot. Although it is not enough to give the third aunt's family a hundred yuan, but there are still two baskets of mushrooms outside, and it is almost the same to pay the third aunt's family together, it is really better than you going to the town. ”

"Eldest sister, I must go to the town, even if I don't sell mushrooms and don't lose money, I have to go and see." Su Jinyao said very resolutely.

Because Su Jinyao heard it, Su Fei'er didn't want to let herself go to the town. Maybe Sophie is afraid that she won't be able to sell the mushrooms, or maybe she is distressed about the eight-dollar fare, and maybe she is worried that she will get into trouble and get lost? But no matter what the reason is, what the reason, Su Jinyao will definitely not accept it.

Su Fei'er naturally knew Su Jinyao's hard temper, and when she saw Su Jinyao's tone cold, she bit her lip and bowed her head silently. It looked like tears were about to fall.

Su Jinyao saw that Su Fei'er didn't eat, only her head was stuffy, and she knew that she was too hard. After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, I understand your thoughts, but you don't understand my thoughts, so I'll say a few more words, I think we should have a better life." But a good life doesn't fall from the sky, you have to find opportunities yourself. I went to town to look for opportunities. ”

"Opportunity?" Sophie looked up, and sure enough, her eyes were already red. But before he could cry, he just said in a muffled voice: "There are so many people in the town, why did the opportunity fall on your head?" I'm worried that you will toss in vain, and when you come back, you still won't be able to make up the 100 yuan to pay the third aunt's family. ”

After a pause, Sophie said again: "I heard that Brother Da Chun fell quite seriously, and the third aunt has been shouting everywhere in the village, saying that our family owes his family a hundred yuan and can't afford to pay it, so you designed to kill Brother Da Chun, this is revenge." I think that if we hurry up and pay the money to the third aunt's house, maybe she won't be staring at us. ”

"It's the third aunt's house again." Su Jinyao raised her voice angrily, paused the bowl in her hand on the table, and said to Su Fei'er: "Why do you listen to others for everything, and don't grow ambition for your own family?" I owe the third aunt's family a hundred yuan, but I don't owe their family's life, so what does Liu Dachun have to do with falling to death and being disabled? You are in such a hurry to apologize, doesn't it make people feel that we have a loss in our hearts? How many times have I said that you don't have nothing to do with a hot face to stick to someone's cold ass, how many times do you want me to say it? Even if you don't have ambition, you should have a memory. ”

"I, I didn't go to the third aunt's house to apologize." Su Fei'er was so frightened by Su Jinyao that the chopsticks in her hand fell off. Then he said in a trembling voice: "I just wondered that our two families are relatives after all, I heard that Brother Da Chun was injured in a fall, and Dongmei also fell asleep with a high fever, so I wanted to go over and take a look." Everyone in the village has gone to visit, how can we say that we are all surnamed Liu, isn't it as warm as the neighbors? Isn't that a joke for people to see? ”

Sophie said that she was wronged, and tears fell down her eyes.

Su Jinyao was even more angry, but this time she didn't have the slightest intention of accommodating, and continued to scold: "Someone else's house? Other people's homes are to see the excitement. If you go and see the excitement, I'll give you a round of applause. But I don't believe it, can you honestly stand outside the door and watch the excitement? You didn't bring anything with you? ”

Speaking of this, Su Jinyao suddenly remembered the copper plates that Sophie gave herself yesterday, and she didn't ask for them at that time, so she let her keep them for herself. Could it be ......

Su Jinyao pulled Sophie's hand, made her look directly at herself, and asked, "What about those copper plates you gave me yesterday?" Take it out and take a look. ”

"Huh? Copperplate? Sophie's eyes panicked, but she didn't dare to stubbornly resist Su Jinyao's temperament, and shivered and took out the money from her pocket.

However, Sophie's hands trembled so much that she took it out twice and put it on the table, and several copper plates fell to the ground.

"That's all?" Su Jinyao squinted her eyes and glanced at it, knowing that the number was no longer right.

When Sophie took it out yesterday, although Su Jinyao didn't count it, she also knew that there were more than 20 copper plates. But now it seems that there are at least six or seven less, and there are only eighteen or nine copper plates. If one or two are missing, you probably can't see it, but this time it's a quarter less, it's obvious.

Sophie bit her lip again, "um", and then said cowardly: "That's all." ”

"What's missing? Did you give it to the third aunt's family, or did you buy something for her family? You're generous, I'm going to town, you can't afford the fare, how can you make the money cheaper to outsiders? You ......" Su Jinyao was so angry that she trembled, she didn't know what to say about Sophie.

Sophie blinked her eyes twice, her eyes were still full of tears, she looked up at Su Jinyao for a long time, and suddenly roared: "Am I doing something wrong again?" I'm taking my own money to clean up the mess for you, right? You know that there are rumors in the village today that you have a ruthless heart and black hands, and a little girl can calculate Da Chun. He also said that our family is going to have a trouble, and the whole village will definitely be disturbed in the future. I'm just not afraid of the third aunt's family, but do I want to offend all the people in the village? Could it be that in the eyes of the whole village in the future, our Su family will be a scourge that cannot be touched? Then how else do our Su family behave. ”

After the roar, Sophie gritted her teeth, waved her hand, and swept the dishes and chopsticks on the table to the ground. Looking at that posture, I almost didn't lift the table. But before she could finish sweeping off the dishes and chopsticks, she turned around and kicked down the stool she had just sat on.

Don't look at Sophie's usual meek and well-behaved appearance, but since she twisted Su Jinyao's arm last time, Su Jinyao knew that this girl was definitely not a good-tempered person.

But Su Jinyao's temperament is also hard, seeing Su Fei'er drop something, she sneered, suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, twisted her arm behind her hard, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make a fuss with me, I can't get used to it, and I won't get used to you." Tell you Sophie that the Su family will be an upright person in the future, not carefully to please and cater to others. What you did this time was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong. Don't take your own weakness as kindness, pretend to be pitiful and beg for sympathy from outsiders, others can only look at your jokes, and turn around and bully you even harder. Take out the posture of you twisting my arm and smashing the bowl, and go to make trouble with the third aunt's house. In the future, whoever dares to give you a face, who dares to look down on our Su family, you will go to someone's house to lift the table, then I, Su Jinyao, will admire you. If you don't have that ability, just be honest with me. Don't put a hat on my head in the future, blame me for everything. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao pushed Su Fei'er to the corner of the wall. Su Jinyao raised her leg again, kicked the stool that Sophie had kicked over just now, turned around and went out.

Xiao Cheng'er was still holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, but the dishes in front of him had been swept all over the ground by Sophie. When Su Jinyao twisted Su Fei'er's arm just now, Xiao Cheng'er was even more surprised, not knowing which one to help and how to persuade her.

Now that the second sister is gone, the eldest sister is squatting by the wall and crying, Xiaocheng'er is still in a dilemma, and she doesn't know what to do.

At this moment, I heard Su Xiangui shouting in the room over there and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong again? Cheng'er, Cheng'er's ......" followed by a "plop" and a muffled snort from Su Xiangui.

Xiao Cheng'er reacted at this time, knowing that his father heard the movement in the house here, and was anxious to know the situation, and Bacheng fell to the ground.

"Dad, it's okay, I just dropped a bowl." Xiao Cheng'er replied and hurriedly ran to Su Xiangui's house.

Xiao Cheng'er ran into Su Xiangui's house and saw that Su Xiangui had really fallen to the ground, and was holding on to the edge of the kang to get up, and he didn't know whether he was anxious or tired, and he was already sweating profusely.

"Dad, why did you fall down, I'll help you." Xiao Cheng'er hurried over, put his hands on Su Xiangui's arm, lifted him up from the ground from behind, supported him on the edge of the kang, and then helped him move in.

Su Xiangui took two breaths before pulling Xiao Cheng'er and asked, "Cheng'er, what's going on?" I heard that your eldest sister and second sister quarreled? Still...... Hands-on? ”

Su Xiangui really didn't expect that the two daughters in their family would be able to fight. Generally, there are many children in the family, and they will only do it when they are noisy and noisy together, but these two girls in their family actually threw things and fought, how can this be good.

Xiao Cheng'er was also anxious, looked at the dining room, and then looked at Su Jinyao's house, and said to Su Xiangui: "Dad, you sit tight, I'll go see the second sister." Last time, she was in a hurry to leave, but I pulled her back. ”

"Go ahead, go and see. Your second sister has a hard temper and a straight temperament, but don't really get angry and leave. After all, it's a child, where can you go? Hurry up. Su Xiangui hurriedly pushed Xiaocheng'er out.

Xiao Cheng'er walked to the door, turned back and said, "Dad, I think ...... It's really the eldest sister who is wrong this time. Our family is too weak to be bullied. ”

"Yes, I know, you go and see your second sister, I'll call your eldest sister over and talk about it." Su Xiangui waved his hand at Xiaocheng'er and told him to go quickly.

Xiao Cheng'er nodded, and hurriedly ran to Su Jinyao's house. I ran to the door and pushed the door, but I saw that the door was inserted.

However, the door was inserted inside, and Xiao Cheng'er was inexplicably relieved. At least it proves that the second sister has no intention of leaving, just sulking in the house.

Xiao Cheng'er knocked lightly on the door and said outside the door: "Second sister, open the door, I am Xiao Cheng'er." ”

"I slept." Su Jinyao's voice came from inside the house.

"Second sister, I'll boil you bath water, don't you go to bed after taking a bath every night?" Xiao Cheng'er didn't open his mouth to persuade Su Jinyao, but just talked about him left and right.

Su Jinyao didn't move in the house again.

Xiao Cheng'er pursed her lips and thought about it, and said, "Second sister, the moon is bright today, and there are many stars." Why don't you accompany me to the mountains to see the stars? ”

"Don't look, it's cloudy tonight." Su Jinyao replied casually in the house.

Xiao Cheng'er touched his nose, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed in his heart. But he said: "Second sister, even if you don't look at the stars and the moon, then you can watch me write." I wrote the words 'spring and bamboo fragrance' very well. ”

"......" There was no answer in the room.

Xiao Cheng'er opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but suddenly the door latched and the door opened from the inside.

Su Jinyao stood at the door with her waist crossed, tilted her head to look at Xiao Cheng'er, and asked, "Why are you so wordy, and you don't let people sleep?" ”

"No. Second sister, if you play with me for a while, I'll let you sleep. Xiao Cheng'er simply played tricks and reached out to pull Su Jinyao's sleeve.

Unexpectedly, Su Jinyao quickly flipped her wrist and pinched Xiao Cheng'er's tiger mouth with her thumb and forefinger, which immediately made Xiao Cheng'er's hand numb, and she couldn't exert her strength anymore, and this time she was empty.

Xiao Cheng'er was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his left hand to grab Su Jinyao's clothes, this time Su Jinyao still pinched Xiao Cheng'er's wrist in the same way, and half of Xiao Cheng'er's arm was numb.

Xiao Cheng'er "sneak attacked" several times in a row, but Su Jinyao cracked them one by one, and Xiao Cheng'er's wrists and elbows were numb. However, the smile on Xiao Cheng'er's face floated, and he looked up and said to Su Jinyao: "Second sister, what's the matter, do you feel better?" ”

"Hmm." Su Jinyao opened her mouth sullenly, then opened the door and sat on the threshold.

She was really angry just now, but strangely, she didn't even have the idea of leaving. It wasn't until Xiaocheng'er came to knock on her door that Su Jinyao suddenly understood that in the bottom of her heart, she already had a concern for this family.

And the longer you stay in this home, the more worries you have, and the more you can't let go. So much so that now, although she will make a lot of noise because of Sophie's cowardice and disagreement, she will no longer have the idea of leaving.

Xiao Cheng'er also sat down very obediently, and sat on the threshold with Su Jinyao shoulder to shoulder. Xiao Cheng'er said softly: "Second sister, I was really worried about you just now. ”

"Worried about me? Why aren't you worried about big sister? If I pushed harder, her arm would break. Su Jinyao listened to Xiao Cheng'er's words and turned her head to look at Xiao Cheng'er curiously.

Su Jinyao felt strange why Xiao Cheng'er would say something worried about herself. In terms of strength, even ten Sophies are not her opponents; If she was a first-class killer in her previous life, her eyes alone could make people feel palpitations. Sophie almost trembled when she stared, why did Xiao Cheng'er worry about herself?

Seeing Su Jinyao looking at herself steadily, Xiao Cheng'er grabbed her hair with her hand a little embarrassed.

Then he said: "Anyway, I can't say that feeling, I just think that the second sister's heart is very uncomfortable." You are...... Hate iron doesn't make steel, right? It seems that this is what you mean, you are actually very worried about the eldest sister, afraid of her, and afraid that our whole family will be bullied. In fact, you never cared about anything, and the few times you hit someone, it was all because of me or because of our family's affairs. In fact, I know that the second sister is the most reasonable, and her heart and eyes are also very good, but her temper is too hard, so she seems to be very powerful. But the second sister will also be like on the mountain, and I will hug me and cry when I think of my mother, and you are also the most distressed for me. So second sister, when you were angry last time, you were able to leave but didn't go, because you couldn't rest assured of me, so you stayed with peace of mind. Speaking of which, the second sister is dedicated to defending me, but the eldest sister doesn't understand this truth, but bullies you. ”

Su Jinyao looked at Xiao Cheng'er's bright eyes and the sincerity in her eyes, and her heart was astringent. This kid, such a little person, but with such a bright and empathetic heart.

"Second sister, I know the bitterness in your heart, and I know that you have thrown a heart into this family. In the future, I will stand on your side, and I promise that I will not be as silent as I am today, okay? Xiao Cheng'er's eyes narrowed, and he actually assured Su Jinyao like this.

"Little city......" Su Jinyao pursed her lips, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Xiao Cheng'er tilted his head, his big eyes flickered, and asked firmly, "Second sister, say it." If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I'll support you. In fact, just now, I didn't react, and I have never seen the eldest sister lose her temper so much. But not in the future, I'll help the second sister talk about the eldest sister. ”

"Xiaocheng'er, the second sister wants to say, you are sitting in my skirt." Su Jinyao said suddenly. Then he pulled the skirt out from under Xiao Cheng'er's buttocks, smiled and dusted off the "dust" that didn't exist at all, and said softly: "The second sister said that they are all a family, and they won't let you separate from each other from near and far." But you're right, I really 'hate iron but not steel'. Your eldest sister, you're about to me off to death. ”

"Dad said he would talk to the eldest sister. Second sister, go to bed early, I'll go clean up the food on the ground. Alas, if our family is always making such a fuss, I think we should get a dog. At least the food spilled on the ground won't go to waste. Xiao Cheng'er said, looking like an adult, and shaking his head.

When Su Jinyao saw Xiaocheng'er's appearance, she knew that this child was very caring and precocious. Suddenly, an idea arose, even if it was for the sake of the small town, I would let Sophie have a few points. After all, living in a family, if you fight so strongly all day long, it is not good for the growth of a small town.
