Chapter 8 Asking for Silver
Although Su Yu didn't speak loudly, except for Su Chen who continued to return to the house to read the book, the whole family was in the courtyard, and listened to Su Yu's words word for word, and Li's face changed.
"Why, you're not happy that I instructed your mother to work? You damn girl, don't you have itchy skin! ”
Su Yu doesn't pestle her milk at all.
"Milk, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to have three daughters-in-law, right? The third aunt is pregnant and doesn't say anything, why is the eldest aunt idle, so let my mother do it alone. ”
Ji, who was sitting on the side watching the excitement, immediately stopped when he saw that it was up to her.
"I said Sanya, why did you get involved with me, didn't you say it before, people are waiting for work, aren't I rushing to work, and I'm not idle."
As far as Ji's embroidered handkerchief is given to her in vain, Su Yu doesn't believe that the shopkeeper of the embroidery village is blind and looks at Ji's craftsmanship.
Su Yu just looked at her milk, and Lian came over and pulled the sleeve of Su Yu.
"Girl, my mother is fine, besides, there is not much work to do, it will be done in a while, and we will go back after finishing it."
"Mother, don't talk yet."
Su Yu hated that iron could not become steel, her mother had been eaten by her milk all her life, did she forget how their family was separated from the old house three years ago. It's really good that the scar forgets the pain, if it happens to her, she probably won't forgive her milk for the rest of her life.
"Mother, the fish can't speak, I'll take her back, so you won't be more angry when you look at it."
Su Lao Er said and beckoned the family to leave, and the old man Su who was sitting on the side coughed dryly.
It was also at this time that Li remembered that there was still something to do.
"Second brother, I still have something to tell you."
"Mother, what's the matter?"
"Brother Chen is going to take the children's exam in two months, how can you be the second uncle, you have to express it, I don't want you much, you will prepare two taels of silver in two months."
Su Lao Er was stunned and didn't react at once.
Su Yu Su Sheng looked angry and not light.
"Milk, we said it when we split up, in addition to the twenty taels of silver foreign debts that were distributed to our family at that time, we are giving you and my grandfather two taels of silver every year to support the elderly, what's the matter, now even the eldest brother has to pay for the children's exam? Where does this come from? Doesn't he have a father or a mother? ”
"You damn girl."
Li was so angry that he looked left and right for sticks.
The two of them didn't say anything, especially Ji's, if she was scolded like this in normal times, she wouldn't give this dead girl two big ears of melon seeds. Now it's just two sentences of scolding, if the second family really takes the silver, scold it, and there will be no less meat. I really thought that I would be able to live a good life by dividing it, dreaming!
And Sanfang will not interfere, as long as they are not allowed to take the silver.
The second child only felt that his heart was very uncomfortable, what was the situation at home, he didn't believe that his mother didn't know, today's father took a tael of silver for his birthday, and the family couldn't spend a tael of silver on the seven tables of the table, and the pig he killed was raised by his own family, so he bought some other side dishes and wine, which could cost a few dollars, and his mother was drinking blood from his family.
"Dad, you treat your mother as a mother, does your mother treat you as your own son, and who will persecute her own son like this."
Lee slapped the table with a slap.
"It's the other way around! Second, you don't care about your daughter, if you don't care about me, I'll do it for you. ”
Hearing the old lady's scolding, Su Lao Er came back to his senses and pulled Su Yu behind him. Su Sheng quietly stood next to Su Lao Er at this time, he didn't forget that he was the eldest son in the family, but if his father agreed this time, he would be very disappointed.
"Mother, you won't know what the situation of our family is now, even if you kill me, I won't be able to take out two taels of silver."
"Second brother, Brother Chen is the hope of our Su family, I and your mother also have such a wish, you go back and think about it today, if you are still unwilling to give out the two taels of silver, I will not have you as a son from now on."
"Dad, I'm ......."
Old man Su waved his hand.
"Let's go back."
The most powerful person in this family is the old man, who knows what her father cares about the most.
Su Lao Er shrugged his head and led his wife and daughter back home, he didn't say a word along the way, Su Yu rarely didn't speak, Lian walked silently beside Su Lao Er, and Su Sheng also kicked the stones under his feet as he walked.
Along the way, Su Yu was thinking about what to do next for their family, the old house from top to bottom is some people who eat people and don't spit out bones, she can imagine that if they raise chickens to make money in the future, how will the gang in the old house come to the house to make trouble, thinking about it is tired, as soon as I got home and saw that my father and mother were going to rest, Su Yu hurriedly called people to stop.
"Dad, mother, I have an idea here, do you want to hear it?"
Then, the family of four sat in the hall.
"Dad, mother, I think so, we just pay off all the debts we owe before, and we have a little spare money in our hands, it is estimated that they will find all kinds of names to make money from us, just like now, by that time our family will not be able to live?"
The three of them thought that this was the reason, but what could they do?
"Otherwise, our family will leave Wangjia Village and go to live somewhere else."
"Leave?"
Su Lao Er couldn't help but speak, he had lived in Wangjia Village for more than thirty years, but now he let him leave.
Su Yu knew the thoughts of the ancients and felt that there was no good home anywhere, but as a modern person, she didn't have this kind of thought.
"If we don't leave, we won't be able to live in the future, let's go to a place where grandma can't find us, and then let people bring two taels of silver back to grandma every year, anyway, my father will do his filial piety at that time, as for the rest, we don't care, anyway, our family has already been separated three years ago, even if others know it, they can't say anything.
"But girl, where are we going to leave Wangjia Village?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, and I've never been anywhere else. But Dad, you let it go, you have the strength to do it, you don't have to worry about finding something to do anywhere, and my mother is also very diligent, the eldest brother has been a buddy in the shop for two years, and he has almost learned, I don't believe that our family can starve to death if we go elsewhere. ”
Su Sheng is right to think about it, their family is separated from the old house, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of the old house family in the future, his little sister is a good method, can it be more difficult to go outside than at home?
"Girl, you let Dad think about it."
"Okay, I'll go to sleep, if my father thinks about it, tell me, if we leave, there are still many things to prepare, the field has to be rented out, the things at home have to be cleaned up, and my grandparents have to go and talk about it. Also, this matter should not be publicized in the village, so as not to let them hear the wind and prevent them from leaving. ”
"yes, got it."
Lian's family doesn't matter, anyway, as long as she is with her father and two children, she is not afraid of where she goes. In fact, Lian subconsciously wanted to leave, but she didn't even realize this idea.
Finally returned to his own house, and after seeing the chickens, Su Yu began to plan to leave, where to go? In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and you had to walk wherever you had no money, and you could walk up to fifty or sixty miles a day.
