Chapter 88

If you want to fight grievances, that's someone's housework. But no matter what, Chun Niu may really be forced to die. Chun Niu is dead, Siping will not be happy, it's really a pity that such a pair of lovers is a pity.

Seeing Su Jinyao sighing and looking embarrassed, Siping's second brother said again: "The second girl of the Su family, get out of the way." We can't help it. If you don't give this money, if Chun Niu and her father really swallow their breath because they don't have money for treatment, we have to help carry this sin. It's as if we are in-laws who refuse to help. But if we give her money, our family really can't get it. It's better to send people back, it's their business how they raise money, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

This is also true. Su Jinyao heard Chunniu and her mother say the same thing yesterday. She can't let her father's illness go untreated because she has no money.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's do it, if I lend this money to Chunniu, will you let her and Siping continue to live?" ”

"What?" Siping's three elder brothers were all stunned.

In the end, it was Siping's eldest brother who asked, "The second girl of the Su family, you're not joking." Your Su family is the poorest family in Pingshan Village, do you still have money to help us? Even if I heard that you and your brother have been busy making some money in the past few days, it's only about a hundred copper plates, right? It's not as much as the money my daughter-in-law sells in a day, can you come up with five taels of silver? ”

Siping's third brother also said: "Yes, five taels of silver, I'm about to be able to build a room." Are you rich or are your Su family rich? If you have money, can you still live without food? ”

And after listening to Su Jinyao's words, Chunniu didn't cry anymore, but just lowered her head and was hugged by Siping, looking very desperate. She also knew the situation of the Su family, so even if Su Jinyao had the heart to lend a hand, the gap between the idea and the reality was too big after all, and she didn't believe that Su Jinyao could solve it with these five taels of silver.

Su Jinyao frowned, knowing what these people were thinking. Five taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, it is almost equivalent to the entire income of their Su family for two or three years without eating or drinking.

Although five taels of silver is not a small amount, it is for the former Su family. Su Jinyao now feels that the only thing missing is an opportunity, and if she finds a chance, it will not be a problem to earn five taels of silver or more.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao turned around and squatted down, first untying the rope tied to Chunniu's body.

Siping also hurriedly helped untie the rope, and after untying it, a young couple hugged each other tightly.

Siping's third brother seemed to want to stop him, but was stopped by his eldest brother. I probably think it's okay to untie the rope, after all, it seems that the three of them have the advantage now.

After Su Jinyao untied Chunniu, she said to her: "Chunniu, I don't have five taels of silver now, and our family doesn't have either." I'll just have to try to see if I can figure out how to get the money together for you. But time is tight, and all I can say is that I did my best. And this money is not given to you by me, it can only be lent to you by me. You'll have to promise to give it back to me. If you can do it, I'll find a way to make money, and if I can't do it, I really can't do it. What I can say and do, I have done. ”

Listening to Su Jinyao's words, Chun Niu immediately nodded, nodded vigorously, and promised: "I know, Jinyao, don't worry, if you can lend me money, even if you save my life, you will also save my father's life." I will definitely remember your kindness for the rest of my life. I must work hard to make money, even if I am useless in this life and can't save all this money, I will let my children and grandchildren change, and I will pay it back in the next life. ”

Su Jinyao knew that for a simple mountain girl, such a curse oath was the most sincere.

Su Jinyao nodded, smoothed Chunniu's hair, and said, "Okay, I believe you." ”

Then, Su Jinyao stood up and said to Siping's three elder brothers, "Three...... Uncle, you also heard it, I'll help Chun Niu find a way with this money. Let's see, can you let them go home first? Don't you have to live this day? It's raining now, and Chun Niu still has a wound on her head. Even if you don't care about her, look at Siping, he's your younger brother. He also treats Chun Niu so sincerely, without Chun Niu, how sad he is. Besides, if you don't go home and let them rain outside, Siping will also get sick. ”

After listening to Su Jinyao's words, Siping's second and third brothers all looked at their eldest brother. The eldest brother looks to be about forty years old, and may be in his thirties, but he seems to be older when he works in the fields all day, and he should be a more assertive man.

The eldest brother thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home first." The second girl of the Su family, your heart is really good. But you didn't think about it, what should you do with these five taels of silver? We have four brothers in a family, and we haven't separated yet, so we may not be able to save five taels of silver in a year. ”

Speaking of which, of course, these people still don't believe Su Jinyao. After all, Su Jinyao was a stupid girl before, and it is estimated that they also thought that Su Jinyao was talking stupid things.

But Su Jinyao is right in one sentence, Siping is their younger brother after all, and they can't bear it when they see their biological brother so uncomfortable. Su Jinyao simply agreed to borrow money, and she didn't make a fuss just by taking a step.

The group braved the rain and walked back. Halfway through, Su Jinyao heard Xiao Cheng'er's shout, and kept shouting: "Second sister, second sister." ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly agreed: "Xiaocheng'er? I'm here. With that, he took a few quick steps forward.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Xiaocheng'er wearing a ragged robe, and running here with a robe in his hand. Seeing Su Jinyao running over with a copper basin, he hurriedly put the coat in his hand on Su Jinyao. took the copper basin in Su Jinyao's hand and said, "Second sister, why did you come out with a basin?" But I'm in a hurry, don't get sick in the rain. ”

"It's okay, isn't it in a hurry. Go home now. Su Jinyao touched Xiaocheng'er's head and felt that it was really heartwarming.

But behind him, Siping's third brother hurriedly said: "Second girl of the Su family, don't rush back first." You go back with us and tell our sister-in-law about this. My sister-in-law is also a member of our family, and she is also in charge. Can't we tie Chun Niu out, go around in a circle and bring it back. ”

Su Jinyao understood that the third brother was afraid that he would deny it, so he tricked them into taking Chun Niu home, and then left it alone. When the time comes, no one will come out of this silver, so won't there be a fuss?

Su Jinyao said, "Okay, I know." I'll go back with you and explain it clearly. ”

"Second sister, what's going on? They came out with their families early in the morning and didn't let you go? Xiao Cheng'er looked a little unhappy, it should be distressed that Su Jinyao was drenched in the rain.

Su Jinyao was actually unwilling in her heart. Because she said that one is one, and two is two, and it won't be bad. But a good person does it to the end, and she thinks that since she agreed to help, it is best to simply explain everything to the people of the Li family.

Otherwise, maybe Siping will knock on the door again tomorrow morning or the morning after tomorrow, maybe there will be something else.

Su Jinyao said to Xiao Cheng'er: "You go home first, boil a big pot of hot water for the second sister, and I'll take a hot bath when I go back." I'll go back to Li's house. You tell Dad not to worry, I'm fine. ”

"Oh." Although Xiao Cheng'er was unhappy, he was willing to listen to Su Jinyao's words. and Su Jinyao went down the mountain together, and Xiaocheng'er walked home.

Su Jinyao followed Chunniu, Siping, and Siping's three brothers to Li's house.

When they came out, it was still early, and it was raining again, so few people in the village knew about such a big incident as the Li family's trouble.

When I went back, the rain had lightened, and some people got up and watched. I saw that Chun Niu had a wound on her head and cried; Especially when they saw that Chunniu and Siping were covered in mud and water, someone chewed the root of their tongue and asked through the window: "What's the matter, your newly married daughter-in-law is going to run away?" I said that this foreign daughter-in-law can't support it, especially if she comes from a poor family, she is a white-eyed wolf and a dead money. ”

Hearing someone say this, Su Jinyao squinted her eyes and looked over coldly. The man suddenly shrank his neck, closed the window, and did not dare to speak.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The family that chewed the root of the tongue was also mud-walled and broken-tiled, and I didn't see how good a house or how rich and noble it was, but he had the heart to say that other people's families were poor, and they didn't look at the situation of their own family? If you kill a boatload of people with a single shot, isn't it good to say that all the girls from poor families are bad? Give her a roll of the eyes, it's all polite.

When Chun Niu heard people say this about her, she lowered her head and didn't say a word, only grabbed Siping's arm tightly.

Siping is a good one, after walking into the village, he straightened his waist and protected Chun Niu tightly in his arms. It's as if no matter what others say, he can't let go of his daughter-in-law.

Su Jinyao is also moved to help them precisely because of Siping's kindness to Chunniu and Chunniu's sincerity to Siping. Seeing that Siping is still protecting Chunniu like this, Su Jinyao feels very comforted, at least she is a good person once, so that the young couple can live happily.

came to the Li family together, and the Li family's aunt ran out to open the door when she heard the movement, and when she saw Chun Niu coming back for the first time, her face changed. said coldly: "Why are you back again?" Didn't you say I'll send you back to my parents' house? ”

"Sister-in-law, I, I'm not going back, I want to live a good life with Siping." Chunniu said cowardly. It seems that what she said before was not a lie, she didn't have the courage to compete with the Li family's aunt, and it was estimated that she really cried and begged at the door for a night.

Siping's eldest brother glanced at the neighbors who came out to look, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the house first, go back to the house." Don't let people see the joke. ”

The aunt of the Li family glared at Chunniu at this time, opened the door, and let everyone in.

Su Jinyao walked last, and she was wearing a robe, so it wasn't until she was about to enter the door that the Li family's aunt recognized her.

The aunt of the Li family couldn't help but be stunned, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Jinyao is also here?" This...... There's something going on in our family, and I didn't pick vegetables today. Why don't you come tomorrow, or go to someone's house and buy some groceries? ”

Su Jinyao also smiled and said, "Aunt Li, I'm not here to buy vegetables, I'm here to help Chunniu say something." You let me into the house too. ”

"Talk to Chunniu?" The Li family's aunt glanced back at Chunniu who followed Siping to the house, and then looked at Su Jinyao, but still didn't let go of the door.

At this time, Siping's eldest brother spoke, "Let her in." Just in the morning, Siping went to knock on the door of the Su family and called the second girl of the Su family out. ”

"Oh, come in then." Only then did the Li family's aunt get out of the way.

Su Jinyao smiled and stepped into the door.

Actually, Siping is twenty-four or five years old. Siping also has three older brothers and one sister. Therefore, the eldest brother in the family is also forty years old this year, which is about the same age as Su Jinyao's father, so Su Jinyao is called aunt to the sister-in-law of the Li family.

As for Chunniu, she is only seventeen or eight years old, and she has just married into the Li family, so she is called by her own name, and Su Jinyao only calls Chunniu's name, not what kind of aunt she is called.

Su Jinyao has come to Li's house to buy vegetables several times, but it is the first time she has entered the house.

The Li family's house is not small, and the main house is quite spacious. There is no exquisite furniture at home, but the tables, chairs, benches, boxes, and cabinets are complete, and there are more than one painting on the wall, and the floor is also very clean.

After Su Jinyao entered the house, two more women in their thirties entered the house from the outside, and it seemed that they should be Siping's second and third sisters-in-law.

But looking at the two women with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, they don't look like too shrewd philistine women, and it is estimated that they are women who take care of them at home or work in the fields on weekdays. But if you think about it, you also know that the old man of the Li family is no longer there, but the four brothers can still live together ******, and it is estimated that the brothers and concubines also get along well.

But Su Jinyao didn't understand, since it was a harmonious family, why couldn't she tolerate a spring girl? Or is Chun Niu really so bad that the family dislikes her?

After everyone entered the house, Siping's eldest brother began to talk about it. In fact, the people of the Li family must have known about the previous matter, and it is estimated that the family agreed to tie Chun Niu up and send her away. These words were addressed to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao sat on the small bench in the room without saying a word, untied the clothes on her body, and shook off the clothes that were wet by the rain. She took care of this matter, but she didn't have to take care of other people's family affairs. It's just that Chunniu was promised to lend her money, so it has nothing to do with her how the people of the Li family get along and how they live in the future.

After saying the previous things, Siping's eldest brother said: "Chun Niu is crying all the way, Siping has been stopping, and I can't bear to look at it." Chunniu also repeatedly promised that she was going to live a good life with Siping, so I would call the shots and bring Chunniu back. You see, that's it, the two of them will have a good life in the future, and this thing will be treated as if it didn't happen. ”

After the eldest brother finished speaking, the second brother and the third brother did not speak. After all, they took people away together and came back together. At that time, Chunniu was not prevented from going home on the road, and now she agrees with their eldest brother's words.

But after the eldest brother finished speaking, the other second and third sisters-in-law did not say anything, but looked at the sister-in-law of the Li family together, which was Aunt Li.

Aunt Li pursed her lips and looked at Chunniu, then at Su Jinyao, and then said: "It's not just because we sent Chunniu away because we were ruthless and couldn't tolerate her." Isn't that still a short deal of money? Five taels of silver, our family really can't take it out. You know that, right? If because of this, Chunniu's father's treatment is delayed, how will this in-laws get along in the future? Can there be a stop in this day? There is always a pimple in my heart, and it is difficult to get along well. ”

As soon as Aunt Li said this, the second sister-in-law and the third aunt immediately nodded.

Su Jinyao saw that her sister-in-law still had the final say.

Su Jinyao said: "I'm coming along, that's what I'm talking about." Chunniu said that she didn't want the rest of your family's bride price, so she wanted to live a good life with Siping. As for her father's money for medical treatment, I helped her find a way. I lent her the money, and she wanted to pay it back to me. ”

"Jinyao, do you want to lend five taels of silver to Chunniu?" When the Li family's aunt heard this, she reacted the same way as the three elder brothers at that time. I couldn't help but stare at her in surprise and asked, "What did you lend her?" Even if you really have money and lend it to Chunniu, how can she have the ability to make money and pay it back to you? ”

"I'll pay it back." Chunniu hurriedly said: "I promised Jinyao, as long as she can lend me these five taels of silver, let my father go to treat the disease, and work hard for her as a cow and a horse in the future, and return the money she earns." ”

Su Jinyao nodded, indicating that she was also willing to borrow.

But the aunt of the Li family looked at Su Jinyao, thought about it again, and said, "That's right, it sounds really affectionate and righteous." But if Chun Niu makes money and pays off her debts, what does she eat and drink? Our family is not separated now, but we live together to save our lives. If there were two more people eating dry rice every day, we wouldn't be able to afford it. ”

After the Li family's aunt finished speaking, the other two daughters-in-law also nodded together.

One said, "Yes, my three children all need to eat and dress, and this day is actually difficult." ”

Another also said: "My eldest daughter is twelve, and it's time to save for a dowry." If you want to get married in two years, you will be looked down upon by your in-laws if you don't have a dowry. So it's hard for our family. ”

The aunt of the Li family sighed, shook her head and said, "Although our family usually sells some vegetables and makes a little money, they are all croppers and rely on the sky for food. There is little land in our village, and we have to rely on the men in the family to often go to the town to do odd jobs to save some money. Siping is still deaf and dumb, he has never gone out, just doing odd jobs at home. He married these two daughters-in-law before and after, and they were all paid by us. In fact, it can also be said that the three brothers and sisters-in-law are raising Siping. But raising a younger brother is biological, there is no way, and now I have to raise another brother and daughter-in-law......"

In the latter words, Aunt Li didn't say it, and everyone understood what it meant. That is to say, if Chun Niu makes money and pays off Su Jinyao's debts, it is tantamount to eating and drinking for nothing to let the three of them live, and they are all unwilling.
