But in the west room, the mother and daughter cried a lot, Chen was called out to make lunch, Su Xiao went to help with the work, and Su Liu lay blankly on the beating bed made of a few broken wooden boards, watching.
The wooden beams on the house.
Now she is basically sure of her situation. The only ones who can be considered relatives here are Chen and Su Xiao. However, the status of their three mothers is the lowest in this family. They have a concubine.
No different.
How can we get rid of such a fate? The top of Su Liu's forehead hurt when he thought about it.
The Su family is not rich. Su Changsheng works as a clerk in the city and earns only one tael of silver per month. Plus some rewards and other things, the most is only 2 taels, which is basically handed over to Huang.
.
Mrs. Chen is a good handmaid and can also embroider. When she is not busy with farm work, she also embroiders some handkerchiefs and shoe soles to help support the family. However, the money she earns is still handed over to Mrs. Huang without keeping a penny.
In addition to Su Changsheng and Chen, as well as her second uncle, in short, the family's interest collection must be left in the hands of Huang.
Could it be that even if I had an idea to make money in the future, would I still have to hand it over to Mr. Huang?
The more Su Liu thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was 200%.
The Su family has not been divided, and her second uncle and little aunt are not married, let alone separated. Otherwise, how can the Huang family earn interest? Will they just rely on the pig and a few thin chickens at home?
She was stupid to give the money she earned to Mr. Huang!
Su Liu jumped out of bed and tilted his head, thinking, how can he get the money he earned?
Only separation!
No, the virtues of Su Changsheng's wife and children will only worsen if they separate the family. It would be great if Chen could reconcile with him and leave the house, but I don't know if they have talked to Li Yi in this era?
Su Liu was suddenly eager to understand all the information and laws of this era. If he wanted to survive and live well, he had to be prepared.
"Sister, it's time to eat." Just as he was thinking about it, Su Xiao opened the curtain and came in and called.
Su Liu knew that this era was feudal, but every time he ate, he was still disgusted because women were not allowed to serve.
A table was set up in the dark kitchen, and all the women in the Su family were crowded here. Only the men served a serious meal in the main room.
A plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage and a plate of fatty meat stir-fried with salted vegetables were the recipe for lunch. Su Liu picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat without saying a word.
Anyway, she has been here for a few days and has never seen any other meat dishes. At most, there is an extra plate of steamed eggs, which is already extremely luxurious.
"Why these dishes again? I'm sick of eating this every day." When Su Jinfeng saw the dishes on the table, he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and pouted in displeasure.
Mrs. Chen quickly looked at Mrs. Huang and said, "Mom, how about I fry some more eggs?"
Su Liu looked over, and Chen's eyes were filled with joy, as if she was eager.
Is she worried that Su Jinfeng won't have enough to eat? No! She wants to fry the eggs and serve them on the table, so that both she and Su Xiao can eat a piece of eggs to replenish their health!
Su Liu lowered her eyes. It was really sad. As the legitimate wife of this family, she had to look at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's face to eat an egg. Why bother?
It's just a matter of one sentence to fry an egg, but unfortunately, some people don't care about the peace of the family, and they have to find an opportunity to say something disgusting.
"Sister, you really love our sister-in-law, and I'm really ashamed of myself." Mrs. Zhou laughed after hearing this, looked at Su Liu with a half-smile, and said, "I just don't know whether she really feels sorry for her or she loves someone else."
