Chapter 110: Su Yu's Decision
Hearing the words of the old village chief, Su Yu was stunned.
She looked at the little girl in her arms with some hesitation, and didn't know whether she should continue to ask in front of Cen Chen.
Just when Su Yu hesitated and continued to ask the old village chief if this matter would make the little girl sad, the little girl herself spoke out on her own.
Cen Chen pulled the corner of Su Yu's clothes, and in the face of everyone's gaze, her voice was a little hoarse.
"Dad's body has not been very good because of drinking, and he was drenched in the rain for too long before you rescued my dad that day, Sister Su Yu. After I got home, I kept burning, and I couldn't say a few words when I woke up. ”
Speaking of this, Cen Chen's voice paused slightly, and finally took a deep breath to complete the sentence.
"Yesterday I took the medicine prescribed by the village doctor to fry my father, but when I got home, I found that my father was ......."
When the words fell, a touch of pain appeared in the old village chief's eyes.
When Cen Chen's father was bedridden, he also went to see it a few times, the man who had to beat and scold his daughter was lying on the bed with a pale and sick appearance, and Xiao Cen Chen's behavior of taking care of his father regardless of his previous suspicions made the old village chief at that time feel quite distressed.
He thought that the relationship between the father and daughter could take this opportunity to get better, but he didn't know that people were not as good as heaven, and good people just left.
"Is that so......"
Su Yu couldn't help frowning worriedly after hearing this, she hugged Cen Chen, and the movements of her hands were more gentle than before.
She looked up again at the villagers who had surrounded the village chief and Cen Chen, and her voice was slightly cold.
"And what does it mean that everyone is gathered here?"
The woman's last note was raised, and a pair of apricot eyes that were full of tenderness just now looked at Cen Chen without smiling at this moment at this moment, she stared at the few people who were in her early stages, and did not say anything.
The latter was a little weak and speechless by her.
Just when the scene was a little silent, the girl took over in a nonchalant tone.
"Of course, I'm afraid that I'll eat empty rice and trouble their family. Seeing that the village chief's grandfather is easy to speak, he can shoehorn me over. ”
Although Cen Chen is young, she lost her mother at a young age, and she has an unreasonable and irritable drunkard father, these experiences are enough to make her precocious.
She didn't say this to speak for herself, but to feel unfair for the old village chief.
The old village chief was the only one in the village who had gone out to study, but there was a saying that when everyone was drunk, it was a sin to be sober.
Perhaps in the eyes of a small number of people, reading a book is a proud thing, but in the village in front of them, many people look down on him although they think about the old village chief's efforts.
This is a kind of rejection that comes from a psychological gap.
The person who took the lead in speaking heard Cen Chen's speech, and his heart was a little weak.
But more of it was shame, he glanced at Cen Chen, and then muttered in a low voice.
"The dead child is neither big nor small, and he has nothing to say out of his mouth."
The little girl looked at him expressionlessly, silent.
"Xiao Chen said something wrong, right?"
As soon as the man's words fell, the woman answered in a cold voice.
Su Yu glanced at the faces of everyone present with a subtle look, and there was a faint disdain and disgust in her eyes. If her first impression of the people in the village was okay when she came here, then it was completely different at this moment.
She can see the contribution of the old village chief Cen to this village, but she receives the subsidy but does not spend a penny, and uses it to subsidize other difficult households in the village. Even though he is old and weak, he still fights for the education of the next generation in the village.
In the end, what he paid was the aggressiveness of the villagers and the shirking of responsibility.
"What has the village chief done for this village, what have you done, and what have you done? Is it his obligation to serve the whole of your village, and when he is old, he still has to be surrounded by you here to force him to accept Xiao Chen? ”
Su Yu can be said to have shown the muttering villager in front of him what it means to be truly aggressive.
The latter tried to refute, but found that he couldn't get Su Yu's question right at all.
"Miss Su, I can take Xiao Chen, you don't have to talk to me like this."
The old village chief saw that Su Yu had a conflict with the people in the village, and interrupted her in a hurry for a while, with a look of worry in his eyes.
As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, Su Yu smiled faintly.
She raised her hand and gently pinched the cheek of the little girl in her arms, who did not have a few taels of flesh, and said softly.
"I'll take this child with me, let her live with me."
After speaking, everyone present was shocked.
And the little girl's eyes burst out with a bright light, she turned her head to look at Su Yu with red eyes, and a pair of clear black eyes could not hide her excitement.
"Really?"
She asked in a trembling voice.
"Really."
Su Yu didn't expect her words to make the little girl's reaction so big, she thought of the little girl's past experience again, and couldn't help but feel more and more distressed.
She put down the little girl she was holding and took her hand, and then said in a firm voice to the crowd.
"Since you don't want to take care of this child, and the old village chief is old, then I will take this child away."
Su Yu's family is not short of this mouthful of food, since she and Cen Chen's child are so fateful, and Cen Chen's father died, under the condition of legally adopting Cen Chen, she can also relieve the burden of the old village chief in his old age.
After Su Yu said this, a voice suddenly came out of the silent villagers present.
"Then where are you going to take the morning girl?"
Su Yu didn't know who said it, and she didn't care who said it.
She turned her head to look at the village chief, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The old village chief lowered his head and looked at Cen Chen, who showed infinite affection for Su Yu, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
The morning girl now has a home.
"Of course, they were brought to the city and kept by my side all the time."
Su Yu gently touched the little girl's head, because of long-term malnutrition, Cen Chen's hair was as rough as withered grass, but the woman did not dislike it.
She replied lightly to the questioning villager.
But Su Yu underestimated the shamelessness of the group of people in front of her, and just when she took Cen Chen's hand and wanted to walk out of the crowd, the person who spoke immediately whispered with some dissatisfaction.
"Then what's the matter, the morning girl is from our Cen family village, what's the matter if you take it away casually."
No matter what happened before, Su Yu didn't get angry, but he paused when he heard this.
She turned around, first let go of Cen Chen's hand, and glanced at the little girl soothingly.
Then he followed the voice through the crowd and walked up to the person who said this.
This is a short woman, with a pair of hanging three white eyes revealing a faint meanness, she didn't expect Su Yu to stop and look at her, so she was so frightened that she immediately stopped talking.
