In the end, it was Su Xiaoman's fried dishes, and after the two ate it, they lay on the bed and talked for a while before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, after the two of them had eaten, Lu Li went hunting in the mountains again, while Xiao Man vacated a cloth bag to pack some food, and after thinking about it again, she took out five taels of silver from the daily expenses of the two of them, and prepared to send it to Su Qi.

Su Qi is getting older and older, and Su Xiaoling is about to get married again, and the family does not have much financial resources, Su Xiaoman always wants to be able to help a little, even if Zhang Xiuqin doesn't like herself, then she has to be filial to her father.

Carrying a small cloth bag down the mountain, he greeted passers-by with a smile, and arrived at Su's house after a while.

Su Xiaoman went directly into the courtyard and called, "Dad, are you at home?" ”

After a while, Su Qi walked out with a smile, followed by Su Xiaoling, but Xiaoling's eyes were on the package in Su Xiaoman's hand, and her eyes were purring, not knowing what she was thinking.

Su Qi stepped forward: "Xiaoman, why are you here?" ”

"Yesterday Lu and I left the city, and by the way, we went to the market to buy some things, which I honor you." As she spoke, Xiaoman pulled Su Qi to the house, and while Su Xiaoling was not paying attention, she stuffed the silver that she had already held in the palm of her hand into Su Qi's hand.

Zhang Xiuqin has not done anything bad, but every time she falls into the well, it is really annoying, so that she knows that she gave her father money, and it is not over if she doesn't make a fuss and grab it.

simply, Su Xiaoman simply didn't let their mother and daughter know, and it saved their father trouble.

Su Qi, who felt that a hard thing was stuffed in his hand, was stunned, and was about to open it to see it, but was pressed by Su Xiaoman, Su Qi looked at her inexplicably, "Xiaoman, this is ......"

"Dad, when I honor you, you can accept it." As he spoke, Su Xiaman also winked at Su Qi.

Su Xiaoling, who was following behind, ran forward and stared at the cloth bag curiously, "Dad, what is this?" It smells fragrant, what did Sister Xiaoman give you? ”

Only at this time will Su Xiaoling obediently call her Sister Xiaoman.

Su Xiaoman didn't care what the other party called herself, she put the food on the table, and asked casually: "Xiaoling, where did the eldest lady go, why didn't you see her?" ”

At this time, Su Xiaoling naturally obeyed Xiao Man's words.

"You said my mother?" Xiao Ling's eyes stared at the bag of food, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, "Who knows why she went, she wasn't at home all day." ”

Su Qi on the side asked, "Xiaoman, do you have something to do with her?" ”

Su Xiaoman smiled, "That's not it, I just didn't see the eldest lady, so I asked casually." By the way, Dad, this is about to start winter, have you prepared all the food for the winter? ”

There are still a few months to go before the end of the year, and the Su family is scarce, but it is inevitable that people from the same village will come to visit the door, if there is no melon and fruit snacks at home, wouldn't it be a joke?

In addition, at that time, sticking to the door god and setting off firecrackers will cost silver.

"It's okay!" Without waiting for Su Qi to speak, Su Xiaoling on the side waved her hand nonchalantly and grabbed the conversation: "Doesn't Dad know how to write?" When the time comes, I will make a lot of money writing couplets for others. ”

How Su Xiaoman didn't know this, but Su Qi has always been a good man, and the people in the same village asked him to write couplets, and he was never embarrassed to collect money.

Looking at Su Xiaoman, who was frowning, Su Qi smiled and waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, there is a way to live with less money, Xiaoman, don't worry about it." ”

How can you not worry, Su Qi is her father after all!

Su Xiaoman sighed, pointed to the things on the table and said, "Xiaoling, these are all bought by me yesterday, they should all be what you like to eat, take them to your house to eat, I'll tell my father something." ”

Su Xiaoling waited for her words, once she got permission, she was busy and left, without even saying thank you.

There were only two father and daughter left in the house, Su Qi opened his palm with confidence, and saw a silver-white silver ingot lying in the palm of his hand, and he had to have three or four taels to say that the weight was less, he hurriedly raised his head to look at Xiaoman, "This, this can't be done!" ”

As he spoke, Su Qi got up and was about to return the silver to Xiao Man.

"Daddy!" Xiaoman pretended to be displeased, "I can't serve you every day after I get married, I can only compensate for it with the money, so that I can feel better, if you don't accept it, it will make me feel uncomfortable." ”

She stepped forward and clenched Su Qi's hand, and deliberately lowered her voice: "This is five taels of silver, enough to live until the end of the year, and then another year, you can accept it." ”

Su Qi had to withdraw his hand when he said this, but when he thought that it was a few taels of silver, it was difficult for him to calm down in his heart.

Five taels of silver, this can be worth the Su family's expenses for several months, where did Xiaoman get so much money?

Seeing his father's eyes change from uneasy to confused, Su Xiaoman explained: "Father, don't worry, I earned all this money myself, and we have left a lot of it in our own family, don't worry." ”

"Xiaoman, how did you get so much money? That's five taels of silver! "When Xiao Man got married, Lu Li just gave himself eight taels of silver, and now it didn't take long for Xiao Man to get so much money, how could Su Qi not worry.

Not long after the two got married, there is still a long way to go in the future, and if you don't save some money now, what if you encounter difficulties in the future?

Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled, "Dad, this is all my own money, don't worry!" ”

"Xiaoman, what are you doing, how did you make so much money?" Su Qi frowned, "You must not spend money lavishly, in case of this—"

"Daddy." Xiao Man shook Su Qi's arm and interrupted him coquettishly, "Didn't I learn the craft from Mama Wang in the village before?" Later, I heard that there was a shop in the city that received embroidery, so I embroidered a few handkerchiefs myself and sent them, but I didn't expect that someone would buy them and sell them for a lot of money. ”

Hearing this, Su Qi's expression finally softened slightly, he nodded, but then he seemed to remember something, "Then it won't sell for so much money, right?" Xiaoman, you have to be honest with me. Also, does Lu Li know about this? Even if you earned this money, then you should tell Lu Li, after all, you will have to live together in the future. ”

There was no way, Su Xiaoman had to tell the matter from beginning to end, and praised Mrs. Wei well, calling her his nobleman.

If it weren't for Mrs. Wei's love for her handkerchief at a glance and giving so much money, presumably even if these handkerchiefs were sold, they would not have been sold at such a high price.

As for Lu Li, she naturally would not refute her decision, and this matter had already been told to him last night, and he had no objection.

Until here, Su Qi finally put his mind at ease.

Seeing that his father finally accepted his money, Xiaoman also breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, it's not too early, I should go back to cooking, you hide it yourself, don't let Aunt Zhang know, save her from making trouble again." ”

"I know." Father Su nodded, reluctantly sent Xiaoman out of the door, and said two more words to see her leave.

Su Qi sighed as he looked at the back that was getting farther and farther away, and squeezed the silver in his hand tighter, until the small back completely disappeared from view, and he shook his head reluctantly.

As soon as he turned around, Su Qi, who was mixed with joy, was startled by Zhang Xiuqin, who appeared out of nowhere, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly took a few steps back and frowned: "What are you sneaking behind for?" Scared me. ”

I saw Zhang Xiuqin squinting her eyes and looking into the distance, the corners of her lips were hooked, and her face showed calculation, she raised her eyebrows and looked Su Qi up and down, and mysteriously stepped forward and asked, "Su Xiaoman, how much money did you give?" ”

Su Qi was stunned, and put his hands behind his back in a little panic, "Why are you asking this, what kind of money does Xiaoman give, where did she get the money, don't guess!" ”

He is a literati, he has never lied, everything is on his face, Zhang Xiuqin didn't ask much, just looking at Su Qi's flustered expression and movements, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

Su Xiaoman is a monkey spirit, and she also knows how to use food to hook Su Xiaoling away, so that she can secretly give the money to Su Qi, doesn't she just want her mother and son to know?

It's all a family, why are you guarding her against her? She just didn't let Su Xiaoman wish!

"Su Qi!" Zhang Xiuqin's face changed suddenly, she crossed her hands on her waist, "Are you sincere and don't want to live a good life with me?" Xiaoman is married, and you still help her talk, who is closer to you? Who is the one who will live with you for the rest of your life? ”

Su Qi didn't expect Zhang Xiuqin to come out like this suddenly, he was a little flustered, "What do you mean?" ”

I obviously didn't do anything, why did Zhang Xiuqin start making trouble again? Could it be that she overheard her conversation with Xiaoman, but she wasn't at home at all at that time!

Su Qi, who was confused, looked at Zhang Xiuqin in a daze, not knowing what the other party was going to do.

"What do you mean, Su Qi, if you don't want to live with me, you can leave me quickly!" Zhang Xiuqin stomped her foot again, "I understand that for no reason, I am bullied by you every day!" ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, who dares to bully Zhang Xiuqin!

Su Qi didn't have a clue, "What do you want to do, when did I bully you, okay, how did you say these words." ”

"You didn't bully me, did you? Then what did you say to Su Xiaoman, why didn't you tell me? You don't give me the money she gave you, do you want to save it yourself to marry a concubine?! Zhang Xiuqin became more and more open-mouthed, and yelled in the courtyard, eager to provoke the whole village.

Su Qi's face flushed with anger, "How old am I?" Half of your body is in the ground, what are you talking about! No shame! ”

With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Before he took two steps, there was a plop behind him, Su Qi subconsciously looked over, but saw Zhang Xiuqin actually sitting on the ground, kicking her legs and howling: "It's not alive!" I'm not alive anymore! Su Qi, an old thing who is not ashamed, is looking for a concubine, I don't live anymore! ”
