Chapter Seventy-Six: Confession Rejection
Su Lanxiang's mother and daughter saw that there were fewer people in the backyard, so they came out of the guest room, picked up some light work and pretended to help.
Not long after, September saw them hiding aside and muttering and talking.
September put the dishes and chopsticks together, and from time to time there was a conversation between her aunt and her cousin.
Listening to it, she couldn't help but sneer, she used to read a lot of travel novels, and she couldn't count any of the best relatives. She lived here for nearly half a year, only to find out that the Su family did not have the best relatives, but this best had already gone to harm other people's families.
The two mothers and daughters are discussing what they can ask for in the congratulatory gifts her family has received. Liang Ling'er repeatedly emphasized her love for the six-petal sunflower bronze mirror, while Su Lanxiang was greedy for the brightly colored muslin fabrics on the kang cabinet.
The two thought no one had heard the whispered muttering. September glanced at them and walked in front of them with a stack of cleaned dishes and chopsticks without squinting.
Liang Ling'er's eyes fell on the fresh and bright light green clothes, and the jealousy in her eyes couldn't be hidden, this dress must look better on her than the little girl.
"Mother, why don't you look like a girl in the countryside in September, aren't they all black and thin in our village, and they are not inconspicuous at all......" The girl's translucent and fair skin is not worse than her, and the silk handkerchief in Liang Ling'er's hand stirred again.
"You're stupid!!" Su Lanxiang rolled her eyes and said in a low voice: "Your second uncle's family is rich now, the people in our village are poor, and they eat multigrain rice and green vegetable porridge every day, aren't they black and thin?" They can compare with your second uncle's family, you look at the banquet just now, almost everything is meat dishes, there are a lot of fish, meat and eggs, you say, you eat so much every day, besides, when the girl is still growing her body, she must be more and more watery. She secretly looked at it for a while just now, and almost all of the dishes on it were meat dishes.
Su Lanxiang was speechless, how much silver would be spent on so many tables of meat.
"That's right, the food we can eat tastes excellent, mother, did you say that those dishes were made by the second uncle herself?" Liang Ling'er. Some complained, I heard that it was because of their family's good food, into the eyes of the shopkeeper of the welcome building, relying on him to earn a lot of money, her mother is also from the Su family, why is the food not as good as others?
“……”
Su Lanxiang was dumbfounded, she didn't think the kitchen was dirty, so she rarely took the initiative to help in the kitchen, and only studied with Mei Shi for a while when she was busy with farming.
——————
The Su family, who had been busy all day, cleaned the borrowed tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans before the evening and returned them door to door.
Most of the banquets in small mountain villages are like this, and when the borrowed family belongings are returned, the more prosperous host family will give some more. For example, leftovers from the table, or a handful of greens, a few eggs, etc.
There are basically no leftovers on the Su family's banquet, and the eggs at home are almost consumed.
Fortunately, there are more tofu specially made this time, and it just so happens that the family sent half a catty of tofu and a catty of bean sprouts, which cleared the family's inventory and gave an affordable thank you gift to the villagers.
People who get tofu and bean sprouts are naturally very happy, tofu is a rare thing, most people have hardly seen it, and bean sprouts are the same, better than fresh. If you get back such a thing, anyone thinks it's cost-effective, and the villagers are happy in their hearts, and their evaluation of Su Changlin's family is better.
September's uncle's family asked the eldest aunt Jin and the second uncle Jiang to come over to help this time, and the kitchen was almost cleaned up, so Yun Niang asked them to go back with their brother, Shuangliu Village is not too far from Sujia Village. But the family borrowed an ox cart from the same village, and had to send it back before dark.
Yun Niang took a jar of lard, fifty eggs, tofu and bean sprouts into a basket for Su Changlin to load on the ox cart, and in September, she took half a stone blue plain muslin and half an orange-yellow dark muslin from the kang cabinet of the congratulatory gift and handed them to her eldest aunt Jin, asking her to go back and watch the distribution.
The corners of Jin and Jiang's eyebrows suddenly brought joy, when the Su family was in a bad situation in the past, her mother's family gave her sister-in-law's family a lot of things and clothes.
Although the Jin family didn't say it, he was a little unhappy in his heart, the Zhao family's family background was a little better than the Su family's, but it was all earned by the Zhao family's men, the Zhao family had little land, and they relied on hunting to supplement the family, but hunting was risky, and most of the adult men in Shuangliu Village went into the mountains together, just to help each other at a critical time, and the injury was small, so I was afraid that I would give my life.
The Su family is rich, and the Jin family is really happy, she doesn't need to make up for it from her own family, and she can also receive a valuable gift in return, she is very satisfied.
"Hey, what is this doing, there is no shortage of oil and eggs at home, and the children are still young, so keep them to make up for their bodies." Uncle Zhao Wenqiang pushed it, hunting people's families, nothing will be less meat, their baby is much stronger than Jinghang September.
"I still have it at home, I know you don't lack it, but this is the heart of the Changlin family." Su Youfu said.
Su Changlin on the side was not good at talking, so he couldn't help nodding in agreement.
The life of his sister's family has just improved, and Zhao Wenqiang continued to resign.
Yun Niang's face sank suddenly, "Big brother, is this going to slap me in the face?" I only want you to give gifts and food to your nephews, they now have the ability to be filial to their elders, but you don't allow it? After that, you are not allowed to bring anything with you. ”
When Zhao Wenqiang heard this, his face was scornful, so he had to accept it with a smile.
The adults were talking, and the few young men who helped sell bean sprouts in September on weekdays got together, sweeping the floor, and taking out the garbage, all of them were not more serious than the adults.
When Ergouzi was talking to Su Jinghang, he peeked at September from time to time, and after more than two months, she was even better-looking, her hair was black and her skin was white, and her eyes were black and bright like twinkling stars in the night sky.
The eyes of the two dogs couldn't be taken away for a while, and September seemed to look at him with some feeling, and when he saw that his eyes were fixed, he couldn't help but smile at him peacefully, and the smile seemed to be soothing the naughty child.
Indeed, in September's eyes, he is just a child, and he is only a junior high school student at this age. The second dog was found peeking at it, and lowered his head suddenly,
Su Lanxiang and Jiang Lin'er were lying on the corner gate, hunched over and peeking, Su Lanxiang gritted her teeth, there are so many things, there are one thing to send away, but there is one less.
Liang Ling'er's gaze never left September, seeing this situation, she raised her eyebrows self-righteously, and her eyes rolled around September and Ergouzi.
September glanced at her lightly, and rolled his eyes secretly, little fart, there are still many thieves in his heart, and his eyes moved away from her indifferently.
Seeing this, Liang Ling'er bit her lip hatefully, when she said goodbye to that Zeng Gongzi in front, she wanted to have fun and leave a good image in front of the Zeng family's son, but Mei warned them not to go to the front yard. She could only watch the boy and September say a few words, and then got into the carriage and went back.
Remembering what he said before, "He will send you what you want as soon as possible", after Liang Ling'er heard this, her heart was like a cat scratching, this girl was so bold, she dared to ask someone for something, and the most important thing was that Zeng Gongzi agreed.
Liang Ling'er didn't believe that she only needed the sapling and that lotus root seed? If it is her, what fabric jewelry, gold and silver jewelry. Zeng Gongzi's father is the prefect, what good things are not? The more she thought about it, the more itchy her heart became, and when the people left in a while, she must find September to ask for clarification.
——————
It was getting late, and everyone was tired after a busy day.
Su Youfu will drink vigorously, but his heart is extremely excited. Thinking of those nobles who came today, their old Su family has not had the current glory in several lifetimes.
Supported by Su Wenhai in a daze, he was just about to go back to his old house. Unexpectedly, a figure rushed out of the backyard and knelt in front of him with a "poof". He shouted "Daddy." ”
Su Youfu was stunned for a moment, and half of the wine woke up. Squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and said coldly to Su Changsheng and Su Changlin: "Who asked her to come?" ”
The two brothers who were named were excited, "Dad, no one called her." Don't be angry......"
Su Changsheng stepped forward to support Su Youfu, "Let's go back to the house first." ”
Su Changlin lowered his head and closed the door without saying a word.
"Let her go, I don't know her." Su Youfu's temper came up, and his beard was trembling when he pointed at Su Lan's scent.
"Dad, my daughter is wrong, really wrong!!" Su Lanxiang snorted and cried, crying heartbreakingly.
Liang Ling'er stood aside, thought about it and knelt to the side, "Uncle, my mother and she are talking to you every day, don't be angry with her." ”
Su Youfu snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning, since you stepped out of the door of my Su family, you have long been no longer my Su Youfu's daughter." Now, you can go back to where you came from. Otherwise, don't blame the old man for breaking your legs. ”
When Mei heard this, he was shocked. Wailed, "Old man, why are you so troubled, Xiang'er finally came back." She also knows that she is wrong, you, you should take pity on my old woman... Don't chase her away, okay..."
Seeing this, Su Youfu squeezed together with wrinkles on his face, "At the beginning, it was you who didn't know how to be honest, and you didn't want to let a good family go, but you had to run away with a widower who had just died, and you lost all the faces of our family." ”
"In my life, the most regrettable thing is to give birth to such a sin as you. Boss and dick, what are you waiting for, beat her out for me. ”
When Su Changsheng heard this, he glanced at Su Changlin. Both of them were in a dilemma.
"Dad, don't." Su Lanxiang knelt down and moved forward a little, "I really know it's wrong, you can forgive me." ”
"Old man, aren't you intent on wanting my life?" Mei covered his face and looked at Su Youfu pleadingly. After all, it was the meat that fell from my body.
Su Youfu saw that his two sons were unmoved, and shouted angrily: "What's the matter, are they all deaf??" ”
Su Changlin couldn't bear it, "Dad, she's ...... I ......"
"Good, good, good...... Your wings are stiff......" Su Youfu said, struggling to break free from Su Changsheng, who was holding him, "If she doesn't leave, then I'll go." ”
September frowned, seeing that the old man was about to go out staggeringly, and before he could help him, he saw him stop, shook twice, and was about to fall.
"Grandpa......"
Su Jinghang was the first to react, and caught Su Youfu's fallen body with a dodge.
"Daddy!!"
"What's wrong with you, old man?"
"Master Xiao, Master Xiao ......" September panicked, quickly calmed down, and looked around for Master Xiao's figure.
