After finishing all this, when we left the city, the moon was already in the sky.
Under the dark night, the shadows of the trees turned into monsters.
The sound of the wheels rolling by was a bit eerie.
Su Jinxiu's scalp felt numb and she urged the cow to move quickly.
After not walking far, I saw a lantern flying towards me in front of me.
But in the blink of an eye, he flew to her.
When she saw who was coming, her cold back finally felt warm.
Behind the lantern, Wang Jiu looked at Su Jinxiu with crooked eyebrows.
"Sister, I'm here to take you home."
The warm light of the lamp shone on Wang Jiu's face, which was extremely gentle.
Su Jinxiu looked at him, her heart warmed involuntarily, and she patted the bullock cart.
"Come up and sit down, let's go home."
Wang Jiu flew forward and easily jumped onto the bullock cart.
He put the lantern aside and sat obediently without saying a word, as if he was afraid of disturbing Su Jinxiu.
"You came here by yourself? Where is Shang Wu?"
"He was behind. I was worried that my sister was afraid of the dark, so I walked faster."
Su Jinxiu smiled: "Well..."
He didn't speak anymore, thinking about how to save Taohua.
Wang Jiu spoke up and broke the silence.
"Sister, don't be unhappy.
Otherwise, shall I make you happy?"
"Ahem?"
Su Jinxiu almost choked on her own saliva and turned to look at Wang Jiu.
Seeing that his eyes were clear, it was obvious that he didn't mean what she thought.
"I'm very happy now, I don't need to be happier."
It seems that I have to pay more attention in the future, because Wang Jiu overheard some things, which polluted his pure heart.
Wang Jiu was very happy when he heard Su Jinxiu's words.
"Sister, you are saying that you are very happy with me?
Then, can I make my sister happier?"
Su Jinxiu smiles politely and yet awkwardly, but can't she get over the hurdle of being happy?
Before she could say anything, Su Shangwu ran over panting.
"Wang Jiu, you are so bad."
When he saw Su Jinxiu, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Sister, he left me alone on the road, grabbed the lantern and ran away."
Su Jinxiu knew that Su Shangwu was frightened and patted her other side.
"Don't be afraid, sister is here.
Come on, let’s go home.”
Su Shangwu glared at Wang Jiu fiercely and jumped onto the bullock cart.
"Sister, I'm here to pick you up, and Wang Jiu has to follow."
Wang Jiu glanced at Su Shangwu and snorted softly.
"I will pick up my sister later.
My sister just said that she is happiest when she is with me."
Su Shangwu gritted his teeth: "Impossible, sister likes to be with me the most."
Su Jinxiu pretended not to hear and drove the oxcart forward without squinting.
——————————————
Early the next morning, Su Jinxiu asked Su Shangwu to drive an ox cart to deliver the things to Ruyi Restaurant.
He stayed at home and prepared to cook for Manager Chen.
As soon as the food was served, Manager Chen knocked on the door.
Su Jinxiu opened the door and welcomed Manager Chen in.
Steward Chen smelled the aroma of the vegetables and walked to the courtyard.
He handed the Huadiao wine in his hand to Su Jinxiu, lifted up his clothes and sat down.
"The drunken shrimp you are talking about should be exactly the same as you described it.
Otherwise, it will be a waste of my good Huadiao wine!"
Su Jinxiu smiled, opened the Huadiao wine, and poured it into the jar with river shrimps.
The fresh river shrimps jumped up one after another after being soaked in the wine, which looked fresh enough at first glance.
After a while, the river shrimp became drunk and stopped moving.
Su Jinxiu fished out the river shrimp, put it on a plate and brought it to Manager Chen.
"Try it, if you don't like it, beat me."
Manager Chen picked up a shrimp, looked at it, and was joking.
"It doesn't taste good. You won't be able to escape from this beating."
When Wang Jiu heard this, he walked out of the room with a cold face.
"Dare you touch my sister? Try?"
Su Jinxiu was startled and quickly pushed him into the house.
"Stay in the room, we are just talking and playing!"
Nowadays, when it comes to delicious food, Manager Chen doesn’t care that much.
"Jinxiu girl, is this you, brother?
It doesn’t look like this at this age!”
Su Jinxiu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"These shrimps have to be fresh, otherwise they won't be fresh."
Manager Chen put the shrimp into his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
The river shrimp is fresh and sweet, and the Huadiao is honest and honest.
There is only one word to describe this taste, absolutely.
Soon, the whole plate of drunken shrimps was finished.
There was also none of the delicious side dishes left on the table.
Seeing that Manager Chen was satisfied with his meal, Su Jinxiu smiled.
"Last time, the steward helped me go to the county government to testify, and I was saved from a difficult situation. I've been wanting to thank you, but I couldn't find the chance."
Manager Chen wiped his mouth and squinted his eyes.
"I don't dare to pretend to take the credit. The person who went to the county government was our young cousin.
However, when I look at you girl, it seems that you still have something to say?"
Su Jinxiu nodded sheepishly: "There is something..."
After dinner, Su Jinxiu took a few cans of chicken fir oil and sent Manager Chen out.
At this point, everyone in the village went home to eat, and when they saw Manager Chen, they all slowed down.
"You have been very busy looking for people for the government during this period.
I don’t have anything good, so you can take this..."
Manager Chen collected the things and gave Su Jinxiu a few words of advice.
"I put all this thought into the old lady's birthday..."
After saying that, he got into the sedan and left.
As soon as the person left, the villagers gathered around and asked Su Jinxiu to talk.
"Jinxiu, you are very familiar with the people in Sun Mansion.
If you do any good deeds, let us take advantage of them!"
Su Jinxiu clapped her hands and smiled.
"It's not that Mrs. Sun's birthday party is coming soon, and there is a shortage of people in the house.
Manager Chen wants to select some little girls who are upright in appearance and quick at work.
If you like it, sign the contract.
That's twenty taels of silver, if you are willing.
I can help you and make some recommendations."
When the villagers heard about twenty taels of silver, their hearts became excited.
But when he heard that he was about to sign a deed of sale, he didn't say anything.
Twenty taels is a lot, but in this day and age, no family is so poor that they can't open the pot.
It's not like he sold his daughter, whom he raised since childhood, for twenty taels.
The villagers dispersed in twos and threes, and Su Jinxiu also returned home.
Su Afang's eyes widened when she heard twenty taels.
I quickly returned home and opened the door of the third room in one breath.
"Jiang Chunlan, don't say that I don't think about you when I have good things going on.
Your money-losing goods are valuable, and now they can be sold for twenty taels!"
Only the three of them knew that Jiang Chunlan sent Su Taohua to Su Hongxing.
Even if Su Afang lived in the same courtyard, she would just assume that Su Taohua was beaten so hard that she couldn't get up and was hiding in a corner.
Jiang Chunlan stopped what she was doing, pulled Su Afang and asked her carefully.
"Twenty taels? Where did the second sister-in-law hear this?"
Su Afang did not hide anything and told Jiang Chunlan exactly what Manager Chen said.
Finally, he winked at Jiang Chunlan.
"Although your money-losing guy is a bit unlucky, he looks pretty good.
If you enter the Sun Mansion, you will be lucky and you will be favored by any young master.
From now on, the money must not be sent home like running water?
At this moment, I really envy you for losing money in your life.
But let’s just say yes, I’m the one telling you the news.
If you sell the goods at a loss later, you have to give me some benefits..."
Manager Chen has come to visit today, and everyone in the village has heard about it, so the matter must not be false.
Thinking about the bit of silver Su Hongxing gave her, and thinking about the Sun family's wealth, which was so rich.
Jiang Chunlan was tempted, but what should she do now that she was at Su Hongxing's place?
