"Will it scare him?" Su Liu squatted in her vegetable garden and muttered to herself in front of a few tomatoes that were already turning orange.
She told Ning Guang about the engagement, but Ning Guang's reaction to her was that he was dumbfounded and ran away without even replying.
"Am I being too unreserved?" Su Liu said again, holding her chin.
This ancient time is no better than modern times. Not to mention that parents make the final decision on marriage. Even if they are in love, they are secretive. There is no way that a woman would propose an engagement to a man. Ning Guang should think that she is shameless.
After pouring a gourd of water on the soil of the tomato tree, Su Liu added, "Could it be that he feels that I am indispensable to him and insists on holding him?"
Glancing at her mouth, she snorted softly and said, "It's not like I have to be with him."
Taking the bucket, she walked back to the front yard, only to see a person standing on tiptoes looking into her yard. Su Liu frowned, stepped forward and said displeasedly: "Su Chuntao, what are you doing at my house again?"
The person who came was none other than Su Chuntao. When she saw Su Liu, she subconsciously wanted to run away, but she resisted and did not move, but her face looked very uncomfortable.
"Why are you at home at this time?" Su Chuntao asked, pretending to be calm and raising her chin.
Su Liu gave her a cold look, ignored her, opened the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard.
Normally she should be at the stall at this time, but maybe she caught a cold last night and her complexion was not very good today. She held on for a long time and was forced to go home to rest by Mrs. Chen and Su Xiao.
Su Chuntao followed her and said in an unkind tone: "Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you deaf and mute?"
Su Liu turned around and was about to stab a few words, but saw that although she was facing him, her eyes were looking around, not knowing what she was looking for.
Su Liu narrowed her eyes and suddenly understood her purpose.
Su Chuntao didn't see the person she wanted to see, and felt very disappointed. She looked away, but when she saw Su Liu's half-smiling expression, her face suddenly turned red.
"What are you looking at?" Su Chuntao asked bluffingly, her voice even a little angry, not because of anything else but Su Liu's eyes.
Su Liu's eyes were standard phoenix eyes, big, black and white, and very beautiful. This was something she had always been envious of, but now when she looked at her, it was as if she had seen through all her thoughts.
Yes, that's it. At this moment, in front of Su Liu, Su Chuntao felt as if she had been stripped naked and ashamed.
Thinking of this, Su Chuntao felt even more angry and looked at Su Liu carefully. At this glance, she was stunned.
When did Su Liu, a skinny and ugly guy, become so good-looking?
Su Liu is older than her. She has always been slender, with a sallow complexion and dull hair. Because she is not good at dressing up, she always looks messy and messy. She never attracts attention and it is difficult for people to notice her.
exist.
The Su Liu in front of her was still slender, but she seemed to have suddenly grown taller. She was still wearing a coarse cloth dress, but it was washed clean and neat, and there were no patches. Although her face was not red and pink,
But compared with the sallow appearance in the past, it is much whiter and rosier, and even the hair is no longer as messy as withered grass in the past.
And the thing that makes people unable to look away the most is still Su Liu's eyes, which are confident, sharp, and have a feeling of penetrating people's hearts.
Su Chuntao's breath was slightly suffocated, and she subconsciously took a step back. She didn't dare to look into Su Liu's eyes. She murmured in her heart that this was really the bitch Su who had a miserable look on her face because she had six fingers.
Willow?
"I would like to ask you, why are you sneaking around outside my house?" Su Liu asked, squinting, "Are you trying to steal something?"
Steal something?
Su Chuntao jumped up, pointed at her and screamed: "Whoever wants to steal something, don't spray blood on them, why don't I pass by here?"
"Then get out of here!" Su Liu pointed to the courtyard door unceremoniously, turned around and pushed open the door to his house.
"You..." Su Chuntao was very angry and said harshly: "Su Liu, why are you so good? You are just a bastard who was kicked out by daddy."
Su Liu suddenly turned around, with sharp eyes, walked up to her in three steps and two steps, attacked from left and right, and slapped Su Chuntao twice without saying a word.
Su Chuntao didn't expect that Su Liu would attack her without saying a word. Her face was burning with pain, and she looked at Su Liu as if she was dumbfounded. She was obviously shocked.
It wasn't until the pain on her face became more obvious that she reacted, howled, and rushed towards Su Liu: "You unlucky person, Liuzhi'er, you dare to hit me."
Su Liu even put Su Changsheng aside, and she had moved to this courtyard for several days. She and Su Xiao went to practice judo at night, but their skills were not wasted at all. Su Chuntao was completely different.
She lightly grabbed Su Chuntao's hand, twitched it, turned her body flexibly, twisted her hand behind her back, and said coldly: "What's wrong with hitting you? I've wanted to hit you for a long time."
Su Chuntao's face turned pale in pain, and cold sweat broke out on her head. She screamed loudly and shouted: "Ah, it hurts. Su Liu, you actually practice evil arts, you bitch, you bastard."
"
Not knowing whether to live or die, Su Liu became more energetic after hearing this.
Although Su Chuntao is a farm girl, she has not done much heavy work since she was a child. At home, Su Changsheng and Zhou are protecting her, and no one would touch her. Now that Su Liu was twisting her hands like this, she was shaking with pain.
Got up.
"Let go, let go, wuwu." She used her other hand to grab Su Liu.
"Apologize."
"It's my fault, it's my fault. Let go quickly, my hand is about to break." She was being restrained, and Su Chuntao could only beg for mercy no matter how unwilling she was.
Su Liu then pushed her forward and shouted coldly: "Get out!"
Su Chuntao stumbled and fell to the ground, her dress was torn with a big tear. She wanted to curse, but she was afraid of Su Liu's hand.
Su Liu looked at her coldly, and Su Chuntao shrank, not daring to say a word, and quickly got up from the ground and ran away.
...
Mrs. Zhou and Su Jinfeng were helping Mrs. Huang put the soles of her shoes on, while Mrs. Huang was talking about the marriage that Su Fusheng had just missed, which made her feel bored and bored.
"What a waste of twenty taels of silver. Boss and wife, please pay for two extra cups of bran rice for tonight's meal. For the half bowl of meat left over at noon, take two more handfuls of sauerkraut from the vat and stir-fry it in the evening." Huang
Then we talked about dinner.
Zhou's eyelids jumped, and she ate bran rice again. She had eaten bran rice for several times, and she was almost exhausted. There was also the half bowl of meat, which was only a few pieces, but she had divided it into several meals. Now she still has it.
Do you want to use sauerkraut for stir-frying? Will it still be chewy?
Then she held back her anger and said, "Mom, you've already eaten several times. Let's change our diet to white rice tonight, right?"
"What kind of white rice should we eat?" Mr. Huang stopped his hand, raised his head and glared at Mr. Zhou, and said displeasedly: "Does your family have a mountain of gold or a mountain of silver? I don't see how life is getting tighter now?"
Zhou was a little angry after being stabbed, and said: "But it's not so tight that I have to eat white rice for every meal. The money Changsheng pays every month is enough to buy two shi of white rice."
The Zhou family is indeed unfair. Although the Su family is not rich, it is really not to the extent of eating bran rice all the time. However, the Huang family is all about money. They are not willing to spend more than a copper coin. They always say that they must save it. With.
What are you saving for? Aren't you buying dowries for the wedding of Su Fusheng and Su Jinfeng? What do they get for their big house?
The more Zhou thought about it, the more upset she became. She was pregnant with the Su family's flesh and blood, but she couldn't even eat anything good. The money was Su Changsheng's monthly income, but it was not much money to spend on their house.
"Hey, do you think I'm not taking care of this family well? I haven't given you rice to eat. Is it because I'm holding on to the money and won't let it go?" Mrs. Huang's face became serious and she said coldly: "I'm holding on to the money and still can't give it up." It's all for you, huh? Where did the money for Jin Quanjiao Shuxiu come from? Also, will the money for you to have a child fall from the sky in the future?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, you can't be without conscience." Su Jinfeng said coolly.
Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she stood up with a sneer and said: "Yes, I am the one who has no conscience, so I have paid all the money for Changsheng. I really have no conscience."
These words were ironic. Huang glared at Zhou with an unkind look: "What do you mean by this?"
"Mom, you should know." Ms. Zhou would never bite her tongue in person, but now she really didn't want to endure it anymore, and said: "I am pregnant with a baby and eat rice every day, so I am an egg mother." I don’t want to give it up, I still have to do this and that, this is my grandson, and I am very cruel.”
Huang stood up and said in a sharp voice: "Okay, you usually have a docile face, but now you finally speak your mind. If you don't like our family having nothing to eat, you can go out and go back to your home. Or go with us. That's just a piece of shit, just starting from scratch. Let me see if you are capable of it."
Mrs. Zhou was stabbed so hard that her eyes were red, and she looked at Mr. Huang with hatred. The words "separation of family" almost came to her throat, but she endured it.
Although she was angry, she also knew that she couldn't say this word. If she did, it might mean that she was thinking about dividing the family and causing trouble in the family.
Seeing that she had been frightened, Mrs. Huang was a little proud. In the past, because she was worried about Mrs. Zhou's identity, Mrs. Huang's mother-in-law could only spread her prestige on Mrs. Chen, and could do nothing to Mrs. Zhou. Now, Mrs. Chen is no longer hers. Wife, she has nowhere to vent her anger, and it doesn't matter whether Mrs. Zhou is the shopkeeper's daughter or not, she only vents it on her.
Mrs. Huang is not afraid. Since ancient times, her mother-in-law has been the king. As long as she shows off her mother-in-law's money, she still dares to do it. If not, how about suing her for being unfilial?
Mrs. Huang wanted to teach her a few words, but Su Chuntao ran in crying from outside. Her face darkened: "Crying in mourning."
"Oh my god, Taozi, what's wrong with your face?" Su Jinfeng was the first to notice that Su Chuntao's cheeks were red and swollen, and she screamed.
Mrs. Zhou also noticed it, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she screamed: "You seek death, who the hell beat you?"
Su Chuntao's eyes were red and swollen, and she cried miserably: "Mom, that bastard Su Liu dared to hit me, please let daddy take revenge for me."
