Chapter 5 Lessons from the scumbag
Su Xiaoxiao put the sweet potato cakes into the steamer of the big pot, took a basin of dirty clothes and went to the river behind the village.
This is a running water that flows through several villages. On weekdays, everyone comes here to do laundry and wash rice.
At this moment, the genius is bright, but there are already many people coming to wash clothes.
When everyone saw Fatty Su appearing here with a wooden basin, everyone thought they had seen a ghost!
This lazy woman actually got up early to work one day? Is it because they were dazzled or the sun came out in the west!
No, Su Fatya must be here to extort money!
Everyone's eyes showed a look of horror. Before Su Xiaoxiao could get closer, they all picked up the pots and buckets and ran away!
Su Xiaoxiao shrugged helplessly and found a place to squat by the river.
In ancient times, there was no industrial pollution, the water was clean and crystal clear, and even the air you breathed was refreshing.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the clothes, spread them on a large stone, smeared the soap locust on it and rubbed it clean. Then he used a wooden stick to punch out the soap locust in the clothes, beat it again and rinsed it with clean water, and so on.
After washing a basin of clothes, Su Xiaoxiao was sweating all over.
Su Xiaoxiao carried the wooden basin and walked back, and happened to meet Xiao Wu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu Shan family, walking towards the river carrying a basin of clothes.
Xiao Wu also saw her and trembled with fright. The wooden stick in the basin fell down, and by chance it fell at Su Xiaoxiao's feet.
Little Wu was so frightened that she wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to pick it up.
Su Xiaoxiao freed up a hand, bent down to pick up the stick and handed it to him.
Little Wu quickly closed her eyes!
Clang.
The imagined pain did not come.
Little Wu opened her eyes tremblingly, looked at the wooden stick in the basin, and turned back in disbelief. Su Fatya had already walked away without saying a word, holding her clothes in her arms.
"Just, just...leave?"
…
In the Su family, the three little cubs woke up.
Su Ergou had to sleep until midnight, and so did Su Cheng. As for Wei Ting, he was seriously ill and was still in a coma.
No one dressed the three little cubs, so they went to the ground barefoot.
They walked around the house, but no one could wake up.
At this time, a child's chirping sound came from next door, and the three of them walked out curiously.
It was Liu Shan's family who lived next door.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, went to do laundry, and the person who was shouting now was Niu Dan, the son of the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. He.
Niu Dan is seven years old this year and is the only grandson of the Liu family.
"Mom! Put some clothes on me!"
"Okay, okay, wait a moment and let your father drink the medicine first."
A few days ago, Niudan Daddy went to the fish pond to dig for his waist. The doctor prescribed some herbs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
The three little cubs stood on tiptoes and lay on the window sill, staring blankly at the family.
Niu Dan had already seen the three little Douding, and knew that they were the new little ones from the Su family, so he looked down on them very much.
He stuck out his tongue in disgust: "Stop! I'll beat you to death!"
"Come down!" Mrs. He patted her son's butt, sat her son down on the bed, and took some clothes for him to put on one by one.
"Mom, I want to eat sweetened eggs!" Niudan said.
"Okay! I'll make it for you!" He said.
There were many girls in the family, but she was the only one with a baby in her belly. The whole family pampered her, and they could afford two of them, not to mention one sugar-watered egg.
Niu Dan was holding the sugar-coated eggs made by his mother, and was eating three small diced beans across the window sill.
When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home with the wooden basin, what she saw was the scene of the triplets eagerly watching the cow eggs eating.
The three of them were barefoot and thinly clothed.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned, put down the tub and walked over.
When Niu Dan saw Su Fat Ya, he immediately lost his arrogance and turned around and ran away.
Su Xiaoxiao took the three little ones home and gave them clothes and shoes.
The three of them are thinner than expected.
Wei Ting and their clothes don't look like they can't afford to eat, so why are they so thin?
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
The three little beans nodded.
"I'll get you something to eat." Su Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen room.
Three little cubs followed in, staring straight at the eggs in the basket.
"Want to eat this?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The three nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao beat three sugar-watered eggs, one for each person.
The stove room had just been heated up and was warmer than the main room. Su Xiaoxiao moved a small bench for the three of them to sit in the stove room and eat.
She went to Wei Ting's room and woke him up: "It's time to take medicine."
Wei Ting opened his eyes drowsily.
Su Xiaoxiao helped him up and fed him anti-inflammatory medicine and medicine to remove hematoma.
Wei Ting didn't feel like eating for the time being and fell asleep again.
This scene was watched by the three little cubs who were lying at the door and peeking.
They thought about the woman they saw at the house next door this morning.
The woman gave medicine to Niu Dan's daddy, dressed Niu Dan in clothes, and made sweetened eggs for Niu Dan.
Niudan calls her mother.
…
Su Xiaoxiao went to wake up Su Ergou and asked him to take care of the children and patients at home. She had to go to town.
Although Su Cheng went to town yesterday, he was an old man who didn't know how to live a careful life. After robbing his family members, the first thing he thought of was not to buy rice or noodles for his family, but to buy snacks for his daughter.
I spent most of the money on snacks, leaving less than two hundred coins.
As the New Year approaches, prices rise, and two hundred cents is enough for a family of three to eat, let alone four more mouths in the family.
You have to find a way to make money.
Just as he was thinking about it, a sharp sound suddenly came from diagonally in front of him.
"Su Fatya!"
Well?
What's your last name?
He Tongsheng's real name is He Jian. He is the third of six sons in the He family.
After regretting his marriage yesterday, Ergou said that he had fled to the town. Unexpectedly, he would run into him at the market entrance today.
Standing next to him were two young men dressed as scholars, who should be his classmates.
He Tongsheng came over angrily and said with great disgust: "Su Fat, that's enough! Don't let your ghost linger!"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "Do you think I'm here to find you?"
He Tongsheng asked in a cold voice: "Isn't it?"
"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded and stretched out his hand lightly.
He Tongsheng stepped back like a snake: "What are you doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "The gift, you won't just regret the marriage and not refund the gift, right?"
"you!"
"What are you? I'm warning you, don't talk to me about what you have and what you don't have. When you go to a brothel to find a brothel, you have to touch a couple of handfuls before you give me money. I haven't gone to court with you, and I haven't had a bridal chamber with you. You
Don’t even think about settling for a copper penny!”
He Tong was so angry and cold!
This fat woman... actually compared him to a brothel boy!
Extremely abominable!
Unfortunately, he has already spent part of that money!
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "If you don't pay it back, you'll have to see me in the Yamen."
He Tongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing face if you go to court for something like this?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What is face, that it can be used as food? Besides, aren't you the one who is embarrassed? You received the betrothal gift, and you agreed to the marriage."
He Tongsheng blushed: "I was deceived by the matchmaker -"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him coldly: "But you also regretted the marriage! If you regret the marriage, you should refund the money! This is not an excuse for you to seize the bride price and not pay it back!"
"Is it in vain that you have read the books of saints and sages for so many years, and all of them have been read into the belly of a dog? A country matchmaker can also deceive you, and anyone who has not had a few ounces of water in his brain will not be fooled!"
"I think you should stop studying! Go home and farm! The water in your head may be enough to water two acres of land!"
