Su Jinxiu quickly waved her hand: "Goodbye, my two aunts are just like Uncle Lin, just call me Jinxiu."
Lin Bo asked the two of them to go to work first and told Su Jinxiu their origins.
"Refugees who came to seek refuge, the man disappeared a few days ago.
Those who are orphans and widowed look pitiful.
Anyway, the restaurant is short of people to work, so we left them here."
Su Jinxiu knew that Uncle Lin was kind, so she nodded and quickly started working.
At noon, Ruyi Restaurant was full of seats.
It was already afternoon after all the work, and Su Jinxiu took advantage of the fact that it was still early to go to the county government office to inquire about the situation.
Before getting on the bullock cart, she saw Li Manhong. She thought about it and asked more questions.
"Aunt Li, you are among the people who fled together.
Is there any family that lost a young man?"
Li Manhong paused, looked around carefully, and quickly lowered his voice.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Su, you can't say this.
We all fled together, and all the young men were taken away.
Even men of my age were not spared.
He said he was going to build a dam, but he only went there and never came back.
They all said that none of us men can come back.
Don’t ask me this question again in the future..."
Su Jinxiu was a little doubtful when she heard this, so she drove an ox cart to the county government office.
A few days ago, you could still see a few men at the door, but now, they are all old, weak, women and children.
She was careful not to enter the county government office, but turned around and went home.
When we got home, it was still dark.
As soon as they entered the yard, Su Shangwu came up to him, took the reins, and drove the ox cart to the backyard.
"Sister, please take a break and see if I'm practicing correctly."
Li Zhaodi also stepped forward and brought a cloth to Su Jinxiu to wipe her face.
Wang Jiu sat under the eaves, looked at Su Jinxiu and called out obediently.
"elder sister……"
Su Jinxiu didn't tell them about the county government affairs, but walked to Wang Jiu and sat down.
Su Shangwu parked the bullock cart and walked to the yard to practice.
I practiced so hot and sweaty that I didn’t forget to call her Su Jinxiu.
"Sister, am I practicing well?"
Before Su Jinxiu could speak, Wang Jiu spoke.
"If the bottom plate is not stable, we can only do it by surprise, if we really take action.
If you can’t take advantage, you will still suffer losses.”
Su Shangwu didn't want to listen to a fool's lesson and was angry.
"What do you know? You look like that, you can be blown by a gust of wind, and you're teaching me!"
After saying that, he started practicing again.
Wang Jiu stood up and walked slowly to Su Shangwu.
"Hit me."
Su Shangwu: "..."
These words sounded strangely familiar.
However, Wang Jiu is not a sister, so he won't feel bad.
Just as Su Jinxiu was about to stop him, Su Shangwu punched him.
Wang Jiu turned aside slightly and hooked his foot.
Su Shangwu screamed and fell to the ground.
"See, I said it."
Su Shangwu suffered a loss and was unwilling to give up. He stood up and rushed over again.
"No, I'm not ready, continue."
Wang Jiu didn't say much. He easily avoided Su Shangwu's fist and hooked his toes, causing Su Shangwu to fall over again.
After several attempts, Su Shangwu was not injured.
But the fall was not light. He knew in his heart that Wang Jiu was right, but he refused to admit it on his face.
Finally, it was Su Jinxiu who spoke.
"Wang Jiu, please teach my family how to practice martial arts.
Shang Wu, you should study hard with Brother Wang Jiu.
I’ll reward you later.”
Su Shangwu hummed and looked at Wang Jiu with a deliberately unconvinced look.
"I heard it, it's not me who wants to learn it, it's my sister who insists on me learning it."
Wang Jiu watched Su Jinxiu walk into the kitchen intently, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, he turned back and started teaching Su Shangwu.
I have to say that although Wang Jiu is not very smart, he is quite good at boxing and kicking.
With some guidance, Su Shangwu made rapid progress.
Su Jinxiu put the last dish on the table and asked them to eat first.
After the family finished dinner, they went to wash up and rest.
Su Jinxiu returned to the room after taking a shower and saw Wang Jiu sitting in the room glumly.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Jiu raised his eyes to look at Su Jinxiu, raised his hands and opened them.
"Sister, where's the reward?"
It turned out that this was the case, and Su Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh.
She said, why does Wang Jiu look so absent-minded while eating?
After thinking for a while, she turned around and entered the kitchen.
After a while, I returned to the room.
He walked up to Wang Jiu and took out a candy ball.
"Reward you with candy."
Wang Jiu felt that he probably didn't like these sweet things, so he just opened his mouth to say.
Su Jinxiu popped the candy ball into her mouth. There was hawthorn in the candy ball, which was sour and sweet.
It seems to be particularly delicious.
"Sister, you are so sweet."
After eating the sweets, Wang Jiu went to bed obediently.
Su Jinxiu felt that such an easy-to-coax person should not be bad at heart.
I was thinking about what if I really couldn't find Wang Jiu's relatives.
Keeping him alive doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
She was very tired after a busy day.
Go to sleep and have a good night's sleep.
After waking up, I was full of energy and started preparing what the restaurant would sell today.
After finishing, he loaded the things onto the oxcart and went out.
————————————————
As soon as Su Jinxiu left, Su Hongxing followed Su Afang and Jiang Chunlan back to the mountain village.
The hired carriage took the people to the door of the second house's courtyard. Su Dafu heard Su Afang's screams inside.
He quickly stepped forward and carried Su Afang back.
Su Hongxing jumped off the carriage and glanced impatiently at Su Dagui beside her.
"What are you still waiting for? Are you waiting for me to carry you into the house? Hurry up, I'm still rushing back here!"
The slightest movement pulled the wound, causing Su Hongxing to groan in pain.
The second and third bedrooms were arrested and taken to the county government office. After eating a lot of things, they said everything.
She was arrested and beaten several times, and Zhang Wanliang spent ten taels of silver to redeem her.
This account was naturally placed on her head again.
In the past few days, I have been feeling bad towards her.
What's even more despicable is that her sweetheart Zhang Jun was beaten and still in jail.
Su Dagui glanced at the pale Jiang Chunlan and rubbed his hands at Su Hongxing.
"Oh, my Chunlan, you are suffering.
Hongxing! Our Chunlan was beaten like this just to help you this time.
If you can't work for ten and a half months, you see, you can't pay for some medicine or something?"
Su Hongxing looked at the shameless Su Dagui and laughed angrily.
"You have the nerve to ask me for the money for the medicine? It's fine if I don't ask you for it.
Hurry up and get your people in, don't make me unhappy..."
Su Dagui did not dare to offend Su Hongxing, so he carried Jiang Chunlan into the house dejectedly.
Seeing Jiang Chunlan like this, Su Taohua felt distressed and picked up a bowl of hot soup and stepped forward.
"Mom, you, drink soup!"
When Jiang Chunlan saw Su Taohua, she suddenly thought of what happened that day.
Ignoring the pain of the wound, I got up from the bed.
He grabbed the fire stick on the ground and hit it on his head and face.
"It's your fault for losing money.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have received this beating.
I will give you food and drink and raise you up.
Is this how you repay me? If I had known earlier, you would have died..."
The sticks fell like raindrops, and Su Taohua was beaten until she curled up on the ground, gritting her teeth and not daring to say a word.
A stick, this is a meat bun that can be returned to the big sister.
Two sticks, this is the fish soup given by the eldest sister...
I don’t know how many times I was beaten, and my whole body was sore and numb.
Su Taohua passed out and still thought that this should calm her mother down.
Mom should never cause trouble to my eldest sister again.
She also paid back the eldest sister's meal money.
Wang Jiu: "My sister is sweeter than sugar, and I am sweeter than my sister. Do you want to try it?"
Xiao Jingze: "Today is the day when I want to strangle myself to death."
