Chapter 68: Mercy Retribution
Su Jiu'er's face changed, and she reached out to pull Ning Yue'er's hand.
It's just that her hand hasn't touched Ning Yue'er's hand yet, and Ning Yue'er slammed her head on the bench and half-knelt in front of Gu Feng.
Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng who was standing aside in surprise, and frowned slightly, "Xianggong, why didn't you support her just now?" ”
Gu Feng put the chopsticks in his hand on the top of the bowl, and he didn't look at Ning Yue'er, then looked at Su Jiu'er, and didn't want to explain, "I'm going to help my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
After leaving a sentence, Gu Feng got up and left directly.
Su Jiu'er hurriedly helped Ning Yue'er up and pulled her to sit on the bench.
Su Jiu'er looked at Ning Yue'er's forehead flushed, her brows twisted slightly, and asked worriedly, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Ning Yue'er sat next to Su Jiu'er, holding a handkerchief to cover the wound on her head, looked at Su Jiu'er pitifully, silently withdrew her gaze, and whispered, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt!" ”
"Take your hands away, and I'll see what happens." Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, and her heart rose to her throat, if Ning Yue'er broke her appearance, then it would be a big trouble.
For the girl's family, the most important thing is the face, if a girl's face is broken, I'm afraid no one wants to marry that girl.
Even if you get married, you can't marry a good person.
When Su Jiu'er thought about it, she was even more worried.
"It doesn't hurt, I'm really fine, Sister Jiu'er, you don't have to worry." Ning Yue'er's eyes were red, she stubbornly covered her forehead, and said softly.
"Hurry up, I'll show you, if it's really broken, let's go to the hospital to take a look, don't leave any scars!" Su Jiu'er was afraid that she would hurt Ning Yue'er if she tried too hard, so she didn't dare to take Ning Yue'er's hand away.
Ning Yue'er looked at Su Jiu'er and seemed to be really angry, carefully took down the hand covering her forehead, looked at Ning Yue'er timidly, and whispered, "It's really okay." ”
Su Jiu'er looked at Ning Yue'er's forehead swollen high, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's just swollen and not bleeding, you should be careful when you walk on weekdays, in case you break your appearance, it won't be easy to get married." ”
Ning Yue'er had a hint of emotion on her face, her nose was red, she nodded her head, and her voice was a little choked, "Sister Jiu'er, I have something to do with you today." ”
"Look back and pay attention to your forehead, and remember not to leave a scar!" Su Jiu'er raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Ning Yue'er suspiciously, reached out to hold Ning Yue'er's hand, and said softly, "If there is anything, just say it directly, I don't have a sister, I have always wanted a sister like you, so don't see me." ”
Xiaobai raised his tail and swirled around Su Jiu'er's feet, as if complaining that Su Jiu'er ignored it.
Seeing that Su Jiu'er still didn't care about it, Xiaobai jumped directly onto Su Jiu'er's lap and looked at Su Jiu'er with his face up.
"This, this is a fox?" Ning Yue'er hurriedly withdrew her hand, her eyes fell on Xiao Bai's body, and she looked at Xiao Bai with some horror.
Su Jiu'er hugged Xiaobai with a smile and reached out to touch the hair on its body.
Xiaobai lay comfortably on Su Jiu'er's arm with half-squinted eyes, letting Su Jiu'er fiddle.
"yes." Su Jiu'er said, looking at Ning Yue'er suspiciously, "Haven't you seen it?" ”
How could Su Jiu'er remember that Ning Yue'er had seen it.
"Yes." Ning Yue'er stepped back unconsciously, looked at Xiaobai in Su Jiu'er's arms with timidity, and said with a serious face, "It's just that I always thought it was a puppy!" ”
"It's also strange to say, Xiaobai is as loyal as a dog," Su Jiu'er reached out and touched Xiaobai's hair, feeling soft and comfortable, and her heart was full of joy, "I used to want to raise a dog, and I thought I could help take care of the house." But now I think it's good to have a white at home, and you don't need to have a dog. ”
Ning Yue'er lowered her eyes slightly, took out an embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Su Jiu'er, and said, "Today, I overheard Aunt Su say that today is your birthday, and I don't have anything good, this is what I embroidered myself before, and I hope that Sister Jiu'er will not see it." ”
Gift?
Su Jiu'er hurriedly took the handkerchief in Ning Yue'er's hand, carefully looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and the smile on her face became even brighter, "Thank you, I like it very much, I will definitely take it well." ”
Ning Yue'er raised her hand and touched her forehead, pursed her lips slightly, her expression was dazed, and she said weakly, "Sister Jiu'er, I haven't finished my work in the field yet, I'll go and get busy first." ”
"Yes." Su Jiu'er hugged Xiaobai and sent Ning Yue'er away, and then turned around and entered the house.
After playing with Xiaobai for a while, Su Jiu'er hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.
After finishing the trivial work at home, Su Jiu'er knew that Gu Feng had never farmed, and was worried that he would not be able to help, so he hurried towards the Su family.
When he arrived at the door of Su's house, seeing that the gate of Su's house was closed and the lock was locked outside, Su Jiu'er pondered that Gu Feng might go to the ground with him.
Although Su Jiu'er had never worked in the field before, she still knew where the Su family's land was.
The sun was hot and spicy, Su Jiu'er walked in the shade of the tree, her steps were fast, and her skirt flew with her movements.
Before he reached the Su family's field, Su Jiu'er saw Zhao standing next to the ground drinking water from a distance.
Trotting towards the Zhao family, Su Jiu'er's face was slightly red, and a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Mother!" Su Jiu'er's steps were busy, and she shouted breathlessly.
It's really getting hotter and hotter, and she hasn't run much yet, and she's already sweating behind her.
Su Jiu'er pondered that she must go back and take a good bath at night, otherwise there might be a smell on her body.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Shi pinched the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, fanned the wind with the handkerchief, and looked at Su Jiu'er in surprise, "Didn't you say that the girl from the Ning family went to your house to look for you?" ”
Su Jiu'er took a few deep breaths, finally stopped breathing, and said with a smile, "She heard from you that today is my birthday, so she came to give me an embroidered handkerchief." ”
Zhao stood in the shade of the tree, looking at Gu Feng and Father Su who were working with their heads bowed in the fields, and the smile between their eyebrows and eyes became even brighter, "It turned out that she was given an embroidered handkerchief, but I saw her working in the field today, and deliberately said that yesterday was your birthday!" ”
"Huh?" When Su Jiu'er heard this, her face turned pale, and she was puzzled.
"You are stupid," Zhao Shi looked at Su Jiu'er's reaction, and had a feeling of hating iron and steel, and knew that her daughter didn't understand, so she pulled Su Jiu'er to her side, looked at no one around, and lowered her voice, "Doesn't their family still owe your family money, no matter what, you have to let them express it on your birthday." ”
"Mother, it's really unnecessary." Su Jiu'er didn't think there was anything to show about this, and said disapprovingly, "Ning Yue'er's family is already having a hard time, let's help if we can." ”
When Zhao heard this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head, "That is, Gu Feng spoils you and is willing to listen to you, this matter is going to be left on me and your father, I asked him to lend money to others, and he will be angry with me!" ”
Gu Feng was good to her, Su Jiu'er always knew it, smiled lightly, and shouted coquettishly, "Mother! ”
"You, take good care of Gu Feng in the future, this kid came to our village alone, and we all ignored him at first." Zhao said, his eyes unconsciously dyed with a little sympathy, "You go back and interact with the people in the village a lot." ”
The people in the village pay attention to personal relationships, and Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, thoughtful.
"The two of you don't always think about living your own life, let Gu Feng talk to the men in the village more, it will be of great benefit to you in the future." Zhao said with a serious face, "When I moved here with your father, I also talked to my neighbors a lot, and the money that our family borrowed for your father's medical treatment some time ago was not given to us by those neighbors?" ”
Su Jiu'er understands this truth, but this matter is too difficult to do, and Su Jiu'er doesn't know what to do.
When she was not married, she stayed at home all day and did not ask about the world.
Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Mother, how should we make friends with the people in the village, after all, they are busy with the work in the fields on weekdays, and the husband is going to hunt." ”
"Simple, when you wait to go back to harvest the wheat, follow me to the wheat field, at that time, the people in the village are there, the big guys get together to talk, and the more you talk, the more you will be familiar," Zhao said, seeing that Su Jiu'er seemed to be thinking about something else, he reached out and pulled Su Jiu'er's sleeve, "I heard that many men in our village worship Gu Feng, and when the time comes, when he is in the wheat field, it would be good to let him take the initiative to help others work." ”
Helping someone else work?
Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, and lowered her eyes slightly, Gu Feng has worked hard enough to hunt on weekdays, and he has to help others work to please others, how can this work?
If you want to please, she will please.
"Gu Feng learns very fast!" Zhao's eyes fell on Gu Feng in the wheat field, and nodded with a smile, "I was very slow at first, but now I am working so fast, I have to catch up with your father." ”
Su Jiu'er glanced at Gu Feng in the distance, nodded with a smile, "Xianggong has always been very diligent, he heard that there was a need for weeding in the field, and he told me this morning that he would come over to help." ”
The sun shone on the ground, Su Jiu'er felt very hot standing in the shade of the tree, and she felt a little distressed when she thought of Gu Feng and Father Su working in the field.
"Mother." Su Jiu'er turned her head to look at the Zhao family, and discussed with a serious face, "Didn't I give you the silver that time, you should hire someone to do these jobs, what if you and your father are tired?" ”
Zhao Shi stopped pinching the handkerchief and fanning the wind, and smiled, "We are still young and can still move, and when we can't do it in the future, we will hire someone to do this." ”
Speaking of silver, Zhao thought about the fifty taels of silver hidden in his home, and was a little panicked.
Some poor families may never have seen so much silver in their lifetimes.
Zhao reached out and pulled Su Jiu'er's sleeve, leaned into Su Jiu'er's ear, and lowered his voice, "Where did you two get so much money?" ”
