Chapter 35: Intercession

Ning Yue'er saw that Su Jiu'er's face was a little loose, and she got up and knelt straight in front of Su Jiu'er, "Sister Jiu'er, I beg you to help me, is it okay to lend me five taels of silver, I will definitely pay it back in the future." ”

Su Jiu'er bent down and pulled Ning Yue'er up, her brows furrowed slightly, "You get up first, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it." ”

Ning Yue'er wiped her tears and obediently stood up and sat next to Su Jiu'er, crying bitterly, "Sister Jiu'er, I really can't help it, we haven't talked much before, if it weren't for my grandfather marrying me to an eighty-year-old man, I ......"

Ning Yue'er's remaining words didn't come out, and Su Jiu'er already understood in her heart.

Ning Yue'er is a face-saving person, and she has worked hard for so many years to change the status quo of the Ning family.

She had persisted for so long, but now God had not given her time to work hard.

Su Jiu'er felt a little pantothenic acid in her heart, she married An Zeqing in her last life and lived in the town all the time, and she didn't know anything about Ning Yue'er.

"Don't cry." Su Jiu'er said, holding a towel to help Ning Yue'er wipe her face, and she couldn't say anything about refusal.

Ning Yue'er was very thin, her face was dark, and her hands were full of calluses left by her labor.

In contrast, Su Jiu'er felt that compared to Ning Yue'er, she was really different.

Ning Yue'er raised her hand and touched her tears, sobbing quietly, her emaciated shoulders shrugged, "I'd rather be tired than marry someone like that......"

Su Jiu'er took Ning Yue'er in her arms distressedly and patted Ning Yue'er's back gently, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Perhaps in Grandpa Su's eyes, Ning Yue'er was a slave in the Ning family, and she was used to work.

Even if Ning Yue'er marries, he will have to make a sum of money from Ning Yue'er.

An Zeqing married Zhao Xiuer at the beginning, but was it because Zhao Xiuer's family was rich?

In this world, there are not many clean and pure feelings.

"Sister Jiu'er." Ning Yue'er slowly pushed Su Jiu'er away, her eyes were red, her nose was slightly red, she sniffed hard, and said anxiously and urgently, "Can you lend me five taels of silver, I will pay you back a little money every year in the future, and I will, I will be able to pay it all off." ”

Hearing Ning Yue'er say this, Su Jiu'er looked embarrassed, thought about it, and said hesitantly, "Our family doesn't have so much money for the time being, wait for the Xianggong to come back in the evening, I'll talk about it." ”

Ning Yue'er looked at Su Jiu'er ecstatically, and without waiting for Su Jiu'er to react, Ning Yue'er kowtowed directly to Su Jiu'er twice, "Thank you, Sister Jiu'er." ”

How do you kneel at every turn?

Su Jiu'er hurriedly pulled Ning Yue'er up and said in a low voice, "I'll try this matter as much as possible, you go home and persuade your grandfather." ”

Ning Yue'er raised her sleeves, wiped away the tears on her face, and left with a happy face.

Su Jiu'er looked at Ning Yue'er's back as she left, lowered her eyes slightly, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

She didn't take care of herself herself, and now she has to promise to help others.

Su Jiu'er turned around and walked towards the courtyard, closing the gate with her hand.

Seeing that it was not early, Su Jiu'er felt that Gu Feng was about to come back, and was busy preparing to cook.

Coincidentally, when Su Jiu'er had just finished cooking, he heard Gu Feng shouting at the door, and hurriedly ran to open the door.

Gu Feng's hand was empty, and he untied the bamboo basket on his waist and put it aside, "There are a lot of rabbits near the mountains this year, and I caught some of them." ”

Su Jiu'er helped Gu Feng scoop up a basin of water, kept his hands for him, and said with a smile, "That's not right, you can catch more rabbits and sell them for money when the time comes." ”

Gu Feng was not as optimistic as Su Jiu'er, he put his hand into the wooden basin and rubbed it vigorously, and the clear water immediately became turbid, "There are a lot more rabbits than in previous years, so it's dangerous." ”

Su Jiu'er didn't understand the things on the mountain.

However, Su Jiu'er is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, so he helped Gu Feng pour out the ground water in the wooden basin and scooped a basin of water again, "Rabbits don't bite people under normal circumstances, how can they be dangerous?" ”

"The grass on the mountain will be gnawed away." Gu Feng had been hunting on the periphery of the mountain during this time, because he was worried about Su Jiu'er.

But I didn't expect that in just half a month, the rabbits on the mountain began to flood.

He only walked a few steps in today, and he could catch a lot of rabbits at will, and he didn't know if there would be more rabbits in the mountain.

"What then?" Su Jiu'er listened to Gu Feng say that, and suddenly realized in her heart, no wonder many people go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to eat because of drought next year, but there are no wild vegetables on the mountain.

"I thought, go back and bring more bamboo baskets, go into the mountains, catch more and come out, and sell them when the time comes." Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er with a serious face, and said hesitantly, "I'll send you back to Su's house to live for a while?" ”

Squatting beside Gu Feng and listening carefully to everything he said, Su Jiu'er smiled and hooked the corners of her lips and asked, "Then how long will it take for you to come out of the mountain?" ”

"Once every two or three days!" Gu Feng pondered, if he didn't catch more adult rabbits, the rabbits would reproduce faster, and if they really flooded, it would not be good, "You live in the Su family, I can rest assured." ”

Su Jiu'er is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, listening to Gu Feng say that, knowing his scruples, he nodded his head, "It's okay, then I'll go home and stay for a few days." ”

Waiting for Gu Feng to wash his hands, Su Jiu'er handed over the towel to him, "It's time to eat." ”

There were three dishes and one rice on the table, Gu Feng sat on the bench and looked at Su Jiu'er with some distress, "You have been unwell recently, let's just eat noodles usually, stir-fry so many dishes, I'm too tired." ”

Su Jiu'er put a piece of meat in Gu Feng's bowl, with a slight smile between her eyebrows, "It's really okay, everyone works in the field when they come to the moon, I just cook a meal, and I'm not tired." ”

Seeing that her face was as usual, Gu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say anything anymore, and lowered his head to eat.

In the past, Gu Feng used to eat casually, and he didn't have any requirements for the appetite for food.

Since Su Jiu'er got married, the meals he cooked every day were exceptionally delicious, and Gu Feng's appetite was also raised, and he felt that the meat he used to eat directly roasted was too unpalatable.

Thinking of Ning Yue'er's pitiful appearance, Su Jiu'er flashed a trace of distress in her eyes, raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng, and said with a flattering smile, "Xianggong, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Feng's mouth was full of food, chewing vigorously, and he raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er.

"Do you know that there is a girl named Ning Yue'er in our village, who is the most capable girl in our village." Su Jiu'er said with a smile.

Ning Yue'er?

Gu Feng chewed his food and thought about it, it seemed that from a long time ago, all his attention was Su Jiu'er, and the girl next to him didn't look at it.

Raising his eyes to Su Jiu'er's eyes full of anticipation, Gu Feng's eyes looked towards the lower left with weak eyes, and said casually, "What's wrong?" ”

"She's really pitiful, she's only fourteen years old this year, and her grandfather is going to sell her to a landlord as a concubine." Of course, Su Jiu'er knew that many parents of poor families would sell their children to rich families as concubines and slaves, but marrying an eighty-year-old person would be too much.

Gu Feng kept his head buried in eating and answered casually.

"She came to our house today, saying she wanted to borrow some money." Su Jiu'er pursed her lips slightly, looked at Gu Feng nervously, and asked cautiously, "Xianggong, shall we borrow it?" ”

Gu Feng stopped eating, lowered his eyes slightly, then raised his eyes to look at her, and asked seriously, "What do you think?" ”

Su Jiu'er put the chopsticks on the plate, sighed lightly, and said melancholy, "I want to help." ”

Even if he resents An Zeqing in this life, Su Jiu'er is still kind.

"Ning Yue'er is a girl's family, supporting the whole family, and working hard to support Grandpa Ning and Ning Mu, it's really not easy, I think we can help." Su Jiu'er pursed her lips slightly, "If she is the kind of girl who doesn't seek progress, I don't think we need to help, but she's not." ”

"How many girls can support the whole family at the age of ten, I think she is quite pitiful, we can help if we can." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng pitifully and said softly, "I haven't promised her yet, I said that our family's money is not enough, let's see in a few days." ”

In fact, there were ten taels of silver at home, and Su Jiu'er was afraid that Gu Feng would not agree, after all, all this money was earned by Gu Feng with hard work.

"Five taels of silver?" Gu Feng raised his eyes slightly and looked at Su Jiu'er quietly.

Su Jiu'er nodded her head, but just pursed her lips and looked at him pitifully.

"Since you want to lend her, then borrow it." Gu Feng felt that money was just something outside his body, anyway, he could make money, and there was no problem in supporting Su Jiu'er.

"Xianggong, you're so good." Su Jiu'er immediately smiled, picked up chopsticks and ate.

Xu was in a good mood, so Su Jiu'er ate more than usual tonight.

Early the next morning, Su Jiu'er made breakfast, and after the two of them finished eating, Gu Feng sent Su Jiu'er back to Su's house.

Gu Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Su family, and it was Su Mu who opened the door.

"Sister, brother-in-law!" Su Mu exclaimed excitedly, turned his head to look at the back room, and shouted loudly, "Dad, mother, sister and brother-in-law are here!" ”

As soon as Zhao heard Su Mu's words, he put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand on the table and walked quickly outside.

Before he reached the door of the house, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhao's face, paused slightly, and slowly walked towards the door.

Father Su saw that Zhao was still squirming, shook his head helplessly, and walked out.

Gu Feng briefly told Father Su and Zhao about the matter, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, let Jiu'er stay here for two days, and then come back to pick her up when I come back from the mountain." ”

Gu Feng also brought two catties of rice and a jar of rabbit meat.

Zhao looked at those things with a smile, and couldn't help the smile on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, I'm here, why do I still bring so many things, but I came to my mother's house to live for a few days, and I don't need to bring food." ”

Su Jiu'er raised her eyes and glanced at the Zhao family, and looked at Gu Feng on the side with a smile, "Xianggong said that you should always send some meat over, after all, the most important thing in our family is these wild meats." ”

Game?

Zhao sneered, if Jiu'er married An Zeqing, it would be a delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he still needed to eat these wild meats, thinking so, looking at Gu Feng with a little disdain in his eyes.
