Chapter 9: Look who's coming
"Qingyan, are you telling the truth? You really have a way to make money, but you can't get it yet, and your aunt doesn't know how long you can last
Wait. When Liu heard Su Qingyan's words, he hurriedly got up from the ground without bothering to wipe away his tears.
Su Qingyan and Su Xiang helped Liu back to the east house and sat down, and then said the trace of displeasure in their hearts: "Mother, you can help your mother's family, but there must be a limit, and there must be distant relatives, the words that my second aunt said are not good, but there is a certain truth, you get married, you form a new family with your father-in-law, you have children, then you and your father-in-law and the children you have born and raised, are the closest family, I admit that your parents, my father's parents, also have a different meaning for you." However, can we take care of our own family first, feed our own children first, and then take care of other people's affairs? ”
The more Su Qingyan spoke, the louder her voice became, and she couldn't hold back her anger, she passed Su Wan like a little chick, and said to Liu: "Look, the daughter you gave birth to yourself is now skinny and sallow and sallow, but she almost starved to death, don't you give her a better life first, and take care of other people's wives, like words?" ”
"I ......" Liu Shi heard her daughter, who had always only been hippie and smiling, and told herself these big truths with a cold face, and then looked at Su Wan, who had only a pair of eyes left on her palm-sized face, and the other two daughters were as thin as bamboo poles, completely lacking the plump body that their girls should have, and she felt that she had reached the brink of collapse, as if what she had been saying had been overthrown.
Her sky fell.
Oh, yes! Why, why nickname? She still remembers that when she was twenty-eight years old, her mother-in-law in the village put on makeup for her, and her mother taught her to serve her in-laws, serve her husband, and give birth to children.
After she married into the Su family, she has always been cautious, never dared to disobey her in-laws, and usually felt very sorry for her husband, and also gave birth to three children.
Her husband is a capable and honest person in the eyes of others, but what about her, she knows in her own heart that her three children are also in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, not to mention her in-laws, she has been married for almost 20 years, and she has no copper plate on her body, is it just for a good reputation, does she want to practice herself like this and affect her family?
Liu suddenly burst into tears, Su Xiang and Su Wan were frightened and cried too, but they were stopped by Su Qingyan, and Su Qingyan said to the two of them: "Don't worry, my mother has been depressed for too long, just cry." ”
After she finished crying, Su Qingyan believed that the Liu family would no longer be willing to be a soft persimmon like before.
The corners of Su Qingyan's mouth raised slightly, and the doubts in her heart just now have been answered: whether it is a mother in a previous life or a mother in this life, if you let your child go hungry and go to help other people's families, you will be cold as a child. But if a child owns an entire castle, he won't mind if his mother gives someone a brick.
What she has to do is to make the Liu family strong and learn to plan for her family, only when her family is rich, can she have the energy to help others.
"It's my mother who did wrong, it's my mother who is too weak, I will definitely ...... in the future Must ......" Liu cried to the end, wanting to make a declaration of change, but she was shallow, just a mountain woman, at this time she only felt that there was pride in her chest, and there was something called momentum boiling, but if she really let her say it, she didn't know what to say.
Su Qingyan hurriedly reminded her: "Yes, mother, you have to have your own opinions, you have to learn to think about yourself and your family, you have to learn to achieve your own goals with your own ability, and most importantly, you are not allowed to be obedient anymore, and you must be brave to learn to say no!" ”
"Yes, I will learn to say no in the future, and I will not do what I don't want!"
When Liu heard Su Qingyan's words, he felt that this was the reason why she was so high-spirited, and she immediately had energy.
But thinking of the old father and mother supporting each other and staggering away, she was distressed and didn't know why, and asked Su Qingyan: "Didn't you just say that you have a way to make money?" What's your idea? ”
"Mother still insists on getting money for grandpa and grandpa?"
"Alas, girl! Mother knows that you have suffered a few sisters, and if you say something to give them money, it will make you feel cold, but they gave birth to me and raised me, which I can't afford to give up my life for, not to mention, your aunt's illness has something to do with me, I say that I will try my best to help her cure it, you just told my mother, let me have my own opinion, I want to understand, I want to repay the favor, this is my opinion. ”
"Hey, hey." Su Qingyan was no longer angry when he heard Liu's words just now, and at this time, seeing that Liu could withstand the pressure and bravely strengthen his idea of repaying his kindness, he was happy in his heart, climbed up the pit and leaned into Liu's arms, and said coquettishly: "My mother has her own opinions, and her daughter is very happy, and her daughter has her own opinions and is willing to help her mother." ”
Su Qingyan said, and asked all the other properties of his grandfather's family.
After thinking for a while, Liu sighed and said: "There are no good things at home, that is, two acres of sandy land are planted with sweet potatoes, and two acres of land are now planted with wheat, after the wheat is harvested in May and June, corn will be planted, and it can be harvested in more than three months, and then wheat will be planted, and after winter, it will be harvested in May and June of the next year."
Under normal circumstances, wheat is subject to taxes and sales money, and is only willing to leave one or twenty catties of dumplings for the New Year.
The only thing to survive is corn and sweet potatoes, and although the yield of this sweet potato is high, it is not full, and every family grows it, and they have to eat and vomit, who will buy this. ”
Su Qingyan listened to Liu's words, and his mind quickly flashed boiled corn, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato vermicelli, barbecued corn and other delicacies, but then he refused them one by one, these things can be sold, but the money is too slow, and if you want to make money, you still have to think of something special.
"Mother, is there anything else?"
"There is nothing else, the villagers are busy in the field every day, and it is rare to be able to eat a few mouthfuls of food, how many people go out to pick wild vegetables to eat! If you go up the mountain, you might be able to pick some wild vegetables and catch some game.
If you can catch the game, it can be sold for a good price, but in our poor and remote country, some people even have to borrow kitchen knives, where do they get the tools for hunting. Liu sighed, listening to his daughter's meaning, he knew that it was difficult for Su Qingyan to come up with a way to make money, and what he said just now was to fool himself, and his expression was gradually full of sadness.
However, when Su Qingyan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.
When she didn't come to this house, she was more familiar with Lu Tianhui, she remembered that Lu Tianhui was a good hunter, and now such a coincidence that people have moved to their own village, maybe they can cooperate.
If he gives him another idea and makes some big wild things, then the income will be divided equally between the two, and it will be a way to get money.
Thinking like this, Su Qingyan got out of bed and straightened his clothes, and hurriedly went out: "Mother, I just remembered that the back basket is still on the mountain, I will go and find it, you must be assertive, don't be bullied again." ”
Lu Tianhui was hunting in the mountains, and he always thought of the eccentric girl who fought for his younger brother and two evil relatives in the village before, and remembered the nympho who was drooling when he saw him, he laughed unconsciously, and he didn't care how many wild things he scared away, he walked and walked, and unconsciously walked to the place where he collided with Su Qingyan.
