Su Liao has been working in the fields since she was a child. Although she is forty, her hands and feet are still very nimble.
She rushed in and went to find Zhang Chengwang. She didn't believe that Zhang Chengwang dared to disobey her as an elder. And he had the leverage in her hands. Su Dashan deliberately stayed a few steps behind his mother-in-law to let her charge into the battle.
He is not good at quarreling, and he cannot be a shrew like his mother-in-law, so it is best to leave this matter to Su Liao.
Su Yuewei wanted to stop her mother, but was pushed by Su Liao. She stumbled and fell directly to the ground, her palms burning with pain.
She ignored the pain in her palms and stood up in a hurry. Cheng Wang was very unhappy with her now. If this happened again, she would have no place to stand in the Zhang family.
When she was in a hurry, her body became unsteady when she stood, and her feet sprained. The severe pain made Su Yuewei moan in pain, and the pain when her feet moved made her sweat. She could only drag her feet and go in with a look of pain on her face.
.
When she walked into the house, Su Liao looked like she had won a great victory and held her head high.
Su Yuewei's heart was so cold that her voice was trembling, "Mom, what have you done?"
Of course Su Liao wouldn't say that she rushed into the study and threatened Zhang Chengwang. Her face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, "It's nothing. Chengwang, this kid, is more sensible and filial than you."
"As soon as I told him, he gave me five taels of silver."
Coupled with the five taels that he asked for some time ago, they don't need to do any work this year.
Su Yuewei burst into tears on the spot. These were her parents, who wanted to peel off her bones and drink her blood. Looking at her second uncle who died young, he worked hard to make money and left a generous dowry for Su Yueling, for fear that she would suffer a loss.
Su Yuewei had an unfilial thought at this time: How she wished she was her second uncle's daughter.
She watched her parents leave happily, and her whole body felt as if she was in the cold winter.
She didn't know how long it had passed before Zhang Chengwang's cold voice woke her up.
"Why are you so pretentious here? You are really a good daughter of the Su family. If you care about your natal family so much, why did you marry into our Zhang family?"
"If you want to go back, I can satisfy you."
He regretted marrying a daughter like Su Yuewei in order to provide his son with someone to take care of him. Especially at first, he was deceived by her virtuous appearance and had the idea of letting go of Liniang and growing old together with her.
Su Yuewei's heart almost broke into pieces when she saw his undisguised expression of disgust.
Does Zhang Chengwang want to divorce her? He is so ruthless... His ex-wife Gu Liniang betrayed him, and he was reluctant to divorce her. He even found excuses for her externally, fearing that she would have a bad reputation.
She was so kind to him and worked hard every day, but he didn't think about being nice to her because her parents took their anger out on her.
In extreme grief and anger, Su Yuewei cried and complained, "Do you believe my sincerity only if I die?"
Then she ran directly towards the wall farthest from her.
Zhang Chengwang didn't react, he could only watch her resolute figure, his face changed drastically, and his voice broke, "Stop her!"
If something really happened to Su Yuewei, the idle people outside would probably say that he was forced to marry his wife, and everyone was talking about gold. Even if he is innocent, he would be black in their mouths. Then how can he be an official in the future?
?
Zhang Wanli reflexively hugged Su Yuewei's body and stopped her. His face turned pale, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it, I believe you."
He originally had a pity for the weak, but when he saw Su Yuewei's eyes filled with tears, her face was pale, and her lips were completely bloodless, she was different from her usual gentleness, like a little white flower that had been destroyed by a storm.
Zhang Wanli's original dissatisfaction with Su Yuewei disappeared, and he remembered her kindness in the past, and he also had some complaints against his cold eldest brother.
The eldest brother is too ruthless to his sister-in-law.
Zhang Wanli had just celebrated his eleventh birthday, and as he ate a lot, his body began to grow. People in this era also matured prematurely. He was not a person who didn't understand everything.
When she noticed the softness against his body, she quickly let go of her hand.
Su Yuewei didn't really want to hit the wall, she just wanted to express her determination in this way.
After being stopped, she turned her head away and cried silently.
Zhang Chengwang felt a little regretful, and his voice was a little gentler than before, "Stop crying, I believe you."
Originally, he was thinking of dealing with the two elders of the Su family after he passed the academy examination and became a scholar. The academy examination was the most important. But now he has decided to suppress these two people first. He recalled what he had learned about Su Dashan.
, his eyes flickered.
As soon as these words came out, Su Yuewei burst into tears even more, but this time she was happy.
In any case, this level was successfully passed.
…
After Su Dashan returned home, he quickly took away the five taels of silver from Su Liao's hand, "You collected the five taels of silver before, and it is my turn to collect these five taels."
Mrs. Su Liao was not very willing, but when the man in the family asked her, she had no choice but to refuse.
She repeatedly warned, "I can't use this money to gamble this time. I'm still thinking of using it to buy fields." As long as you have fields, you never have to worry about whether you will starve to death.
Su Dashan nodded impatiently, "I understand."
In fact, he has never gambled at all, so he naturally knows that the casino is not a good place. He just uses gambling as an excuse to take money from home.
Now that he has money, he can finally see his beloved little lady again, and he can even buy her a silver hairpin.
He had long been tired of looking at the yellow-faced woman at home.
Thinking of the charming little lady still waiting for him in the brothel, Su Dashan felt hot all over. He hurriedly took a shower at home, put on his best clothes, and went out happily.
***
In the auspicious building.
Shopkeeper Xu from Jixiang Building saw that there were fewer customers than yesterday, and couldn't help but ask the waiter next to him: "Why are there so few people today?"
In the past two days, because of the lotus leaf chicken, their Jixiang Restaurant has had a lot more customers. Although it is still not as good as Fulai Restaurant, it is much better than before.
Who knew that this good time would not last for a few more days, and there would be less recognition, let alone because the guests were tired of eating lotus leaf chicken.
How is this possible? This lotus leaf chicken is so delicious that even if you eat it every day, you will never get tired of it. He is also thinking about inviting scholars in the city to eat it and let them inscribe it. These literati and poets like this type of dishes the most.
The two waiters immediately went out to inquire, and returned with a sad face after burning incense.
"Shopkeeper, all the customers have gone to Fulai Restaurant."
Shopkeeper Xu was surprised, "Has Fulai Restaurant introduced new dishes again?" What's going on? Why did their restaurant come out with new dishes so quickly?
"Fu Lai Restaurant also launched lotus leaf chicken. And they said that their lotus leaf chicken is the original one, while ours is just a fake."
"Nonsense!" Shopkeeper Xu said angrily, "We were the first to sell lotus leaf chicken."
The waiter said: "But those customers also said that theirs is more delicious and must be genuine. Now they are all going to his house."
