Zhong Cainiang was ill, but in just three days, she lost a lot of weight, her eyes were lifeless, just like a soulless walking corpse, which made people sigh incessantly, secretly sighing that the word "love" is harmful!
Of course, those who sympathized with her did not include Su Liu. In Su Liu's heart, Zhong Cainiang was entirely to blame for herself and could not blame anyone else. She would not give in to the Holy Mother just because she was half dead.
Anyone who dares to challenge her, Su Liu's bottom line, must be able to bear the price!
So Su Liu still found a matchmaker to go on a blind date for Zhong Cainiang. That guy Zhang Xiaosi found out and came over to scold Su Liu for being cold-blooded and ruthless, adding insult to injury and having a vicious mind.
But what Ning Guang said was what I meant. Zhang Xiaosi became speechless, said nothing, and silently stepped aside.
But Zhong Cainiang's eyes finally had some fluctuations. She glanced at Ning Guang and saw that his face was expressionless. Her heart felt like it was being sawed by a dull knife, and it hurt bloody.
However, Zhang Xiaosi couldn't bear it and shouted at Ning Guang: "General, you promised Brother Zhong that you would take good care of Cainiang. Is this your care?"
After hearing this, Zhong Cainiang felt sad and started to cry.
Su Liu sneered, it was really stupid. Is Ning Guang the one he could question?
"Are you questioning me?" Ning Guang's eyes were very cold, looking at Zhang Xiaosi as if he were looking at a dead person.
Zhang Xiaosi was excited, lowered his head and said: "Subordinates don't dare!"
Ning Guang snorted, looked at Zhong Cainiang and said: "You are my adopted sister, Ning Zhenguang. Don't worry, your dowry will not be small in the future, and no one will dare to bully you. If you are willing, I will be your matchmaker. If
If you don’t want to, if you want to find someone you’re satisfied with, that’s fine!”
After saying these words, Ning Guangda stepped out of the house.
After Ning Guang left, Su Liu naturally didn't want to be in the same room with Zhong Cainiang anymore, so he followed him.
"Are you happy? You won!"
From behind, Zhong Cainiang's resentful voice came.
Su Liu turned around and said with a sneer: "You can't win, Zhong Cainiang, I have never regarded you as an opponent. From the beginning to the end, it was just your wishful thinking. What's funny is that you don't even know." She took another look.
Zhang Xiaosi said: "If I were you, I wouldn't hold on to a man who doesn't belong to me. Look at the people around you more. Don't regret it until you lose him!"
After finishing speaking, she didn't care how ugly Zhong Cainiang's face was, and left with a flick of her sleeves.
After leaving the house, he saw Ning Guang standing in the yard looking at the sky silently, so he walked over, bumped his elbow and said, "Who are you showing this sad look to?"
Ning Guang glanced at her and said, "Women are trouble."
Su Liu was choked and hurriedly chased after him: "Stand here, tell me clearly who is causing trouble? It's not you who caused the bad peach blossoms."
After this incident happened, Tietou kowtowed to Ning Guang and apologized, saying that he had no shame in staying any longer. He also said that he would take a few people back to Mobei and wait for Ning Guang's return there.
"It doesn't matter if you go back, this place doesn't belong to you either." Ning Guang still looked like that, he just said one sentence lightly and nothing more happened.
So, on a sunny day, the Tietou people knelt down to Ning Guang and then left quietly. That night, Ning Guang closed the door and drank all night. The next day, he recovered again.
A normal day in the past.
It is now late February. After the Waking of Insects, the sky thunders, everything wakes up, and spring comes quietly. The farmers in Dayao Village have begun preparing for spring plowing early.
Su Liu's family is also making preparations. They have no paddy fields, only dry land, so they are preparing to plant peppers and tomatoes. Su Liu has also asked Lady Wu to buy more land before spring plowing.
Mrs. Wu was also very efficient in doing things. She soon told Su Liu that there was a piece of land of 24 acres in Chentian Village next door for sale, but it cost eight taels of silver per acre. After Su Liu saw it, he made the decision without even thinking about it.
Bought it.
Those twenty-four acres of land are very fertile and good farmland, with excellent annual profits. Many people know that it is worth eight taels of silver per acre.
In Da'ao Village, the landowner with the most land is Zhang Zhang. His family owns dozens of acres of land and has many slaves. The second-ranked one is Su Liu. Not to mention that she already has fifteen acres of dry sand land.
, and now he has bought another twenty-four acres of land, all for two hundred taels of silver, which makes the people of Da'ao Village jealous to the point of bleeding.
In the eyes of everyone, Su Liu and his family have been promoted to a wealthy family!
While people were jealous, they would also come to ask Su Liu whether the twenty acres of land were going to be rented out or what? Because after all, it was good farmland, and if it was planted well, the yield would be much better than ordinary land.
Su Liu also thought about this problem. Most of her family is women and children, so farming is definitely not possible, and she doesn't have time to take care of it. You want to leave it to Ning Guang? She didn't know it before, but now that she knows his identity, she doesn't dare
Let him farm again.
The family has discussed that this land can only be leased out.
After hearing the news, people who wanted to rent seeds rushed to Su Liu's house like a tide, while the people in the old house were dumbfounded when they heard the news.
Hearing that Su Liu spent two hundred taels of silver to buy twenty-four acres of land, Huang had a toothache on the spot. Two hundred taels, how much money would that be? When the Su family was at its peak, they didn't even have two hundred taels.
What about silver?
Faintly, Mrs. Huang regretted it. If Su Liu and the others had not left, she would be the one calling slaves and maids in front of the old lady at home. She would be in such a miserable state now!
Ever since Su Changsheng lost his job, so many things happened one after another in the old house. The family's money has been emptied out. Now the old house has less than ten taels of silver, and life is much worse than before.
Times, I heard that there was no minced meat star on the dinner table for several days.
Su Liu also hasn't seen anyone from the old house come to make trouble for a long time, not because of anything, but because the old house is also very worried. First, Su Jinfeng's incident happened, and he and the Zhou family can't agree on the betrothal gift and dowry.
, the two families have been in a stalemate. There is also the matter of Zhou's premature birth, and the child named Yaya is weak, and a lot of money has been spent. Because of the worry, Zhou's health deteriorated during confinement.
It has not been repaired properly. After the confinement period, the person has a sallow complexion and thin muscles. He looks more than ten years older and has a yellow face.
After her confinement, Ms. Huang became rude to her, and because she held a grudge about Su Jinfeng, she went out of her way to trouble Mr. Zhou. The work at home, whether heavy or light, would have to be done even if you didn't do it.
If you don't do it, go back to your parents' home. Even Su Changsheng and Zhou will be beaten with their fists if they disobey.
Nowadays, Mrs. Zhou, let alone Mrs. Chen, is just like Mrs. Chen in the past. She has no glory to speak of. Even Su Chuntao has to do menial work in the fields.
So when I heard about the current situation of Su Liu's family, compared to Huang's regret, Zhou and Su Chuntao felt resentful and jealous. What they heard was not true, but when you see someone in front of you with your own eyes, what does it feel like?
It was the first time Zhou knew the feeling of being embarrassed, and she just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
The woman in front of me has her hair high and her hair is swaying gently with the movements of others. She is wearing a brocade dress and an embroidered skirt. Because she does not have to do rough work in the wind and rain, she is being pulled by two girls to make the pearl powder.
The milk mask made Chen's face white and smooth. She put her hands lightly in front of her abdomen and it was also white and tender. She looked like a pampered lady.
Look at yourself again, wearing a dusty dress, with grass still stuck to your hair, carrying a load of dung and mud, smelling bad, your face covered with sweat, your hands covered with calluses, you look as embarrassed as you want.
If they didn't see each other, Mrs. Zhou would just sneer a few times, but once the two met, there was such a huge gap, Mrs. Zhou's face became distorted, not to mention her heart.
Mrs. Chen also didn't expect to meet Mrs. Zhou. There were servants at home, so she didn't have to go out to buy anything. She was not a talkative person who liked to gossip with others, so she rarely went out. Today was also an invitation from the scholar's wife.
Just go and talk and have tea.
Looking at Mrs. Zhou's miserable appearance, a trace of sympathy flashed in Mrs. Chen's eyes, and she saw her past self through her. Could this be karma?
Mrs. Zhou did not miss the sympathy in Mrs. Chen's eyes. She immediately blushed and said sarcastically: "Why, the eldest sister feels very happy when she sees me now?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Chen withdrew the remaining pity and said quietly: "I heard that you were born prematurely. Why don't you stop taking care of yourself and start doing heavy work now?"
This is Mrs. Chen, who has a gentle and kind-hearted nature. Even when faced with the enemy who stole her husband, he could not say anything evil when he saw her miserable condition.
However, it was okay that she didn't say such words, but these words of pretense of concern made Zhou's face instantly become ferocious, and she sneered: "Chen Meiniang, you don't have to act like this pretentiously, I feel disgusted when I see it. Don't think you are now
Better than me, hum! You will always be the loser, I am the winner, and Su Changsheng is tied to me."
Speaking of this, she felt a little proud. Yes, she, Zhou Guizhi, was the winner. No matter how beautiful Chen Meiniang was, she was just an abandoned woman!
After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen didn't feel angry, but felt pity for Mrs. Zhou. What's so good about that man? Is it worth fighting for?
A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she said: "If you think he is worth it, then he is worth it. If you are busy, I won't disturb you. Ya'er, let's go."
Seeing that Mrs. Chen was not angry, Ms. Zhou was startled and felt that she had been humiliated. She immediately threw down her burden and went to catch Chen Meiniang: "Chen Meiniang, please stand here and tell me clearly, what do you mean?"
Ya'er stepped in front of Mrs. Chen. The little man opened his hands and yelled loudly: "Bold!"
Zhou was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and cursed: "Who are you shouting at, you little bitch? Get out of here, or I'll slap you too."
"Madam, please go quickly." Seeing Mrs. Zhou's ferocious face, Ya'er felt a little worried, so she had to urge Ms. Chen.
However, Mrs. Zhou was much faster than Mrs. Chen. He grabbed her hand and pulled it, making Mrs. Chen ouch.
"You said, you...ah." Mrs. Zhou just started to say it, when she felt a pain in her hair and was pulled away. She screamed and turned around: "Who, let me go...
