Chapter 51
Chapter 51 Signing the contract, giving up
Jiang Chunlan had long been accustomed to Su Taohua being obedient in front of her, but suddenly she was embarrassed in front of Manager Chen.
She immediately raised her hand and slapped her.
"What did I do when I gave birth to you? Of course I gave birth to your brother in exchange for money.
Otherwise, how would you think you, a loser, could have survived to such a great age?"
Su Taohua's face was swollen and her heart was filled with despair.
"Sell me, I will have no parents in the future..."
Manager Chen frowned in displeasure and stopped Jiang Chunlan's second slap.
"Okay, don't make trouble here.
The Sun Mansion's buyer is divided into a living deed and a dead deed, the living deed is ten liang, and the dead deed is twenty liang."
Jiang Chunlan didn't even think about it: "Death contract, we sign the death contract."
Manager Chen glanced at Jiang Chunlan. He brought the body deed and asked Jiang Chunlan to press her finger prints.
After Jiang Chunlan pressed it, she took Su Taohua's hand and pressed her finger prints on it.
Immediately, he pushed the person in front of Manager Chen.
"From now on, whether she is a human or a ghost, she belongs to your Sun Mansion. Please give me the money, steward."
Manager Chen threw twenty taels of silver to Jiang Chunlan. Jiang Chunlan picked up the silver and left without looking back.
Su Taohua watched the figure disappear, with no emotion on her face.
Manager Chen looked at Su Taohua and took out the birth certificate.
"Take it, with this bond, even if her mother comes, this girl will not leave."
If he wasn't really impressed by this girl's skills, he really wouldn't like to do these things.
Su Jinxiu took the thin piece of paper and was filled with gratitude.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. I'll send you some delicious food in two days."
Manager Chen nodded with satisfaction and turned back to his house.
Su Taohua looked at Su Jinxiu who appeared out of thin air, pursed her lips, and could no longer hold back her tears.
He quickly ran over and threw himself into Su Jinxiu's arms.
"Sister, don't let me go..."
In the past, no matter how her mother beat or scolded her, she would not dare to cry.
I'm afraid that if I cry, I'll make my mother unhappy.
Now, she gave up her last thoughts.
The grievances of these years poured out like a river bursting its banks.
Su Jinxiu sighed and patiently reassured her.
"It's okay, just cry, big sister is here!"
After Su Taohua calmed down, she took her back to Ruyi Restaurant.
Lin Bo gave Su Taohua a bowl of fish ball noodles and two poached eggs.
Su Taohua was very hungry and ate everything.
Finally, he looked at Lin Bo obediently.
"Uncle, I have no money, can I work for you?"
Lin Bo quickly waved his hand and snatched the bowl from Su Taohua's hand.
"Uncle is very busy and doesn't need you to do any work.
Poor girl, do you still want to eat?"
Su Taohua shook her head and swallowed her saliva.
Years of habit made her unable to bear it no matter how hungry she was.
"Uncle Lin, could you please cook her another bowl of wontons."
Su Jinxiu pulled Su Taohua to sit down and handed her the body deed.
"Peach Blossom, this body contract is your life-saving talisman.
Big sister has to ask you, do you want to go back?"
Su Taohua shook her head and pushed the body contract back.
"Sister, I will be obedient, don't let me go back."
She is not a fool. She will be sold again after she returns.
Su Jinxiu nodded, relieved.
"They can't force you to go back if you don't want to.
I made an agreement with Uncle Lin that you will stay with him for the time being.
After you recover from your injuries, can I take you to school?"
Although women were not allowed to take the imperial examinations during the Dasheng Dynasty, they were still allowed to attend school.
Su Taohua looked at Su Jinxiu with tears in her eyes and bit her lip.
"Sister, why are you so nice to me?"
Su Jinxiu thought about her previous life, where she grew up alone and suffered enough hardships with no one to help her.
Every time I hit my head and bleed, and I can't get up, I always think about it.
It would be nice if someone could help her, but unfortunately, no matter how painful it is, it's only her.
She smiled and gently touched Su Taohua's head.
"Maybe it rained enough, so I wanted to hold an umbrella for you..."
Su Taohua didn't understand what Su Jinxiu meant, she just thought that such a big sister was so gentle.
Su Jinxiu talked to Su Taohua for a while and took her back to her room to rest.
Behind Ruyi Restaurant is the small courtyard where Uncle Lin lives, which is usually deserted.
Now Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, and her family live there, and now Su Taohua is added in, making it even more lively.
After settling Su Taohua, Su Jinxiu drove the ox cart back home.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, it was still dark.
From afar, I saw Wang Jiu holding a lantern and walking as fast as flying.
Su Jinxiu smiled and asked him to ride the bullock cart.
"Don't come to pick me up if it's not dark from now on, please."
Wang Jiu put the lantern aside and looked at Su Jinxiu seriously.
"How can things related to my sister be called trouble?
That's called happiness..."
Okay! Su Jinxiu laughed dumbly and drove the bullock cart back home.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he met Su Shangwu who was about to go out.
Su Shangwu looked at Wang Jiu on the bullock cart and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Sister, look at him, he always gets ahead of me because of his good martial arts skills."
Su Jinxiu jumped off the bullock cart and touched Su Shangwu's head.
"Then when he arrives next time, we'll wait for you together?"
At dinner, Su Jinxiu told Li Zhaodi and the others about Su Taohua.
I didn't intend to hide it from them, but I was afraid that they would expose the secret, so I didn't tell them.
After listening to Su Jinxiu's words, the admiration on Su Shangwu's face grew a little more.
"As expected of my sister, she rescued Taohua from that devil's cave so easily.
From now on, Taohua will never have to suffer again."
Li Zhaodi put down her chopsticks and frowned at Su Jinxiu.
"But after all, your third aunt is Taohua's biological mother. If she cries in front of Taohua a few times, will Taohua relent and go back?
When the time comes, don’t make yourself look like a human being inside and out.”
"I can help her once or twice, but I can't help her for a lifetime.
She has done everything she needs to do, and the rest is up to her.
However, Taohua is a smart girl.
You should know how to do it..."
Su Jinxiu put down the bowl and stood up. Suddenly something occurred to her and she glanced at Su Shangwu.
"Shangwu is not young anymore. In a few days, he and Taohua will go to school together."
When Su Shangwu heard that he was going to school, his face suddenly fell.
"Sister, I don't go to school.
You let my brother go! I would rather stay at home and practice martial arts with Wang Jiu.
I want to be a general, not a courtier..."
After hearing the word "school", Su Shangwen slowly put down his chopsticks and returned to the house.
Is he afraid that he will never be able to go to school again in this life?
All of this was caused by Su Jinxiu.
It was Su Jinxiu who obviously killed dad and blinded him.
Mother and Shang Wu, why don’t they hate her at all?
Su Jinxiu looked at Su Shangwen's back, pulled Su Shangwu over and whispered something.
Su Shangwu thought for a while, nodded and said loudly.
"Sister, I'm going to school."
Su Jinxiu cooked the decoction and brought it into Su Shangwen's room.
All the spiritual spring water in the past two days has been used by Taohua, and all the available water today will be given to him.
Su Shangwu and Li Zhaodi were cleaning up outside. She walked over quietly and washed Su Shangwen's eyes.
Tonight, Su Shangwen was particularly silent, not saying a word.
Su Jinxiu washed his eyes and prepared the things to sell tomorrow.
I thought I would take advantage of this moment to squint for a while.
She leaned against the stove and soon fell asleep.
Vaguely, I heard Wang Jiu's voice.
"Sister, you are so tired..."
