Hearing this, Deng Ju stood in front of Su Yan. Su Yan said it was okay, "I have a job here, collecting crabs, five cents a pound, I will collect as much as you can."
"Just take it to the Qin family in Shanghe Village. As long as it's alive, it won't count the dead."
There are people selling crabs in town, but few people take them, so the price is pretty good.
As long as you are not lazy, there are many crabs near the river, especially when the weather is hot, they breed very quickly.
It’s no problem to lose a dozen pounds in a day.
As soon as they heard that there was work to be done, a group of shirtless men stood up immediately. One man asked in disbelief: "Is it true?"
Smelling the smell of sweat, it was obviously similar to Qin An's sweat from working, but Su Yan instinctively didn't like it and quickly stepped back, "Really, if you have any, I will send them to Qin's house."
"Sure, if you don't accept it, don't blame me for causing trouble for you."
The man gave her a rough voice and glanced at her. He had never seen such a beautiful young woman.
Su Yan didn't say anything to them. She couldn't start a fight with a group of men. She would be the one to suffer.
She pulled Deng Ju out of the alley, and there was no smell of sweat. She let out a breath.
Suddenly I missed the rough guy at home.
I don’t know if he has returned or not.
Deng Ju said worriedly, "My dear, don't do things alone in the future. You are pretty and you will cause trouble."
It is not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. It is good to have a husband who can protect her, but it is a disaster if she does not have that.
A few years ago, there was a good-looking girl in the county town, but she was raped by a group of men when she was at the right age, and she ended up paying ten taels of silver.
Now that girl is crazy and crazy.
Pretty girls from poor families are a curse rather than a blessing.
Su Yan is not trying to be brave, but she just can't rely on Qin An for everything. He does all the hard work like hunting, escorting, chopping firewood, fetching water, etc.
She makes money because she wants to share it with him, not because she wants to work more for him.
But what Deng Ju said is true. If she appears like this, she will definitely cause some trouble in the future.
Thinking of this, she went to buy an eyebrow pencil, found a deserted place, and put a lot of pockmarks on her face.
Although it's not particularly ugly, it doesn't make men look at it again and again.
Later, I went to the market with Deng Ju and bought a few kilograms of meat and a piece of fish. They didn't dare to buy more because the journey was too far.
On the way, I met people who were returning to the village. They didn't recognize Su Yan at first sight. When they walked away, the woman in linen clothes muttered: "Why are there so many pockmarks?"
"I've done too many bad things."
The man next to her glared at her, "Don't cause trouble for the family. If Qin An gets involved, our family will only get beaten."
The woman glanced at him angrily and said, "You are the only one who has no future and is so cowardly."
"Then you go, I won't care about you then." After the man said that, he left with the backpack on his back.
The woman was so angry that she glared at him several times. Once she returned to the village, she couldn't help but talk to other women, "Oh, that Widow Li has so many pockmarks on her face, it's scary."
"real or fake?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, just go and see. His face is pockmarked. He has done too many bad things and has been punished."
Upon hearing that Su Yan had pockmarks on her face, many women went to Qin's house and saw Su Yan sitting in the yard killing fish with a pockmarked face.
Suddenly there was another gossip in the village, and soon everyone in the village knew that Su Yan had pockmarks on her face.
Some men who were unwilling to give up couldn't help but come over to take a look. When they saw it, they felt like a dog in the sun, and they no longer cared about Widow Li.
This morning, Goudan's mother heard what others said and came to Qin's house with a vegetable basket. She originally thought that those people were talking nonsense, but when she saw the pockmarks on Su Yan's face, she was surprised and said, "What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Su Yan was feeding the dog. When she heard this, she explained: "It's okay. I just ordered it for myself. It's less troublesome."
Hearing this, Goudanfu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm just telling you why you suddenly got pockmarks. That's fine. Your pimples haven't come back yet."
"I will share half of the unsold dishes with you."
Su Yan stood up and took it, "Brother Wang, where did they catch them today?"
"I'm going to Heyuan Village. It's a little far over there, but no one has gone there yet."
Goudan's mother sighed and said: "I didn't even give this thing away before, but now I can still make money."
Her eldest brothers relied on their wages these days to renovate their houses, build tile-roofed houses, and dig wells in the future.
She was really grateful to Su Yan in her heart.
"I can only make some money during this period, but it won't be so good after a while." Su Yan told her the truth.
Goudan is not greedy either. It would be nice if he could make some money, and he made a lot of it. "If you can make some money, make it, otherwise you won't have any money if you are idle."
"My mother-in-law is selling tofu, and she said she would bring you some later, so don't make anything else for lunch."
"good."
Su Yan waited for her to leave and glanced at the men looking outside the courtyard. She rolled her eyes and quickly poured water towards the door to let them see more clearly.
That way it would be less troublesome.
Watching them leave, she curled her lips, it was her rough guy who was better.
After a while, a man brought crabs, which were only about a pound. He said in a rough voice: "Do you want to accept the crabs?"
Su Yan knew that they didn't believe it, so she didn't say anything. After weighing him on a scale, she directly paid him five cents.
The man was a little surprised that he really had money, but he didn't say anything, took the empty bucket and left.
I guess he told others. In the past few days, more and more people were sending crabs, including men, women, and children. As long as they brought crabs, she would pay them.
The people in the village didn't know what the Qin family was doing at first, but the women couldn't help but gossip. Knowing that the Qin family was collecting crabs, they were all ready to take action.
The adults couldn't help but ask the children to come over to exchange for money. Su Yan would not be disrespectful. As long as they were children from the village, she would not accept any of them.
The people in the village were not happy to take advantage of it. Early that morning, an old woman stood at the door of Qin's house and scolded Sang and Huai, "What's the big deal? The money earned is not clean, and whoever takes it will get sick."
Naturally, Su Yan in the yard heard it and was too lazy to talk to her. When Qin An came back, she would "complain" to him.
Thinking of this, she counted the days in her mind. It had been almost a month and she should be back soon.
Deng Ju was a little angry, but the master didn't say anything, so she couldn't cause trouble for her.
The old woman outside continued to curse: "Maybe I will give birth to a child without farts..."
The sound suddenly stopped, and the next moment she remembered the old woman's scream, Su Yan subconsciously turned her head and looked at the door, and saw a tall and strong man riding a horse and carrying a basket on his back.
Her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but feel happy. She ran up and said, "I'm back."
Looking at his daughter-in-law whom he missed day and night, Qin An got off his horse and, regardless of whether there was anyone else, held her tightly in his arms and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law."
