The New Year was getting closer and closer, and Su Liu originally planned to come back this time to collect the accounts and then return to Changping, but because of the house matter, he could only delay for a few days.
People in Da'ao Village were not too surprised when they heard that Su Liu was selling their house. In their eyes, Su Liu and his family were now considered very wealthy. They were also the first wealthy people in the village, and they had already moved there.
After moving to the county seat, this house is just sitting there, it might as well be sold.
In fact, if the family has a son and is wealthy, it may not be sold. After all, it is a root. It can be regarded as an ancestral home in the future. But Su Liu and others are different. Their mother has remarried, and the two children are her and Su Xiao.
Girls will be members of other people's families in the future, so there is no need to keep the ancestral house or anything like that. So when they heard that Su Liu was selling the house, they all went to inquire about the price with great interest. However, after hearing the high price, they were deterred.
Su Liu's house asked for two hundred taels, which was an astronomical figure in the village. Even if Zhao Lizheng wanted to buy it, he wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money, let alone other small farmers.
Su Liu didn't expect people from Da'ao Village to buy it, so she entrusted the house to Mrs. Wu. She was not in a hurry and didn't wait for the money. After all, it was her first house, so naturally she
Hope it can find good homes.
When Mrs. Huang heard that Su Liu was selling her house, she was so angry that she almost fainted. Every time she met, she told everyone that Su Liu was cruel and said that she was rich and noble and didn't care about her grandparents' life or death. She didn't even want to give them a house to live in.
Some people say that granddaughters are different from grandsons. They will be members of other people's families in the future. Aren't those who support the elderly all children and grandchildren? Otherwise, what's the use of having children? Besides, Su Liu can be regarded as the most benevolent person. In a situation where your family is so cruel
Next, I gave you the money in the end as a filial piety. I only blame you for not sparing your blessings and leaving such a good granddaughter in vain.
These words made Mrs. Huang so angry that her heart ached all day long. On the other hand, she felt a little depressed. She didn't understand. Who didn't raise their children like this? It was inevitable to favor sons over daughters. What was wrong with her? As for treating her like this.
Really? She didn’t deprive the three of them of food, drink and lodging, right?
But she didn't know, and it was a good thing that Su Liu and the others had not been short of food and drink in the past years, otherwise, Su Liu would only be treated more ruthlessly.
No matter how confused her heart was, Mrs. Huang had no way to stop Su Liu. She could only watch her emptying the room, and then sighed at home.
Although Mr. Su couldn't listen to people outside, he still knew everything clearly with Su Qingxiang's ears and Huang's complaints every day.
He is no better than Mr. Huang. He has been lying in bed for a year, unable to move, but it has also made his mind clearer and more regretful. He regrets the decision he made at the beginning. Unfortunately, no matter how regretful he is, time cannot be turned back.
He knew clearly that once Su Liu sold the house, he would never come back, and they would completely lose their granddaughter.
Mr. Su cried out twice, and two lines of turbid tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't say anything. He had to close his eyes and forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He is like this. He might stretch out his legs tomorrow.
If you go, how can you worry about them anymore?
Since the house was going to be sold, she couldn't keep the remaining things. Su Liu took a general look and found that they were all large items such as quilts or bed cabinets. It would be troublesome to move them, so she didn't plan to keep them.
I gave them all to Su Jiang and Su Xizi's family, and packed a cart full of other small items that were easy to carry and useful.
"Take those gourds and gourds. I will paint on them later to please my wife." Su Liu pointed to the dried gourds and melons.
"Girl, look, that seems to be Miss Chuntao." Xueluo gently pulled Su Liu's sleeve and pointed to her back.
Su Liu turned around, and a girl wearing a coarse cotton skirt and a floral cotton jacket hid behind a clump of bamboo and looked here. Seeing Su Liu looking over, she immediately stretched her head back.
With just one glance, Su Liu recognized it. It was undoubtedly Su Chuntao.
"Please tidy up again." Su Liu ordered Xueluo, and he walked over to Su Chuntao's position.
Su Chuntao poked her head out again, and saw Su Liu slowly walking towards her. She couldn't help but panic, turned around and was about to run away.
"You're already here, why are you running away?" Su Liu stopped her.
Yes, why should I run? Am I still afraid of her? Su Chuntao thought to herself, then she stopped, turned around and faced Su Liu, and puffed up her chest.
It wasn't until Su Liu came closer that Su Chuntao could see her whole person clearly, and jealousy could not help but shine in her eyes.
I am already sixteen, and Su Liu is one year older than me and is also seventeen. Although I have not gotten married either, but when we stand together and compare like this, we know what the comparison between heaven and earth is.
She has a graceful and slender figure, wearing an autumn-colored brocade skirt, lotus-colored pomegranate flowers on her neck, and a silver-white rabbit fur cloak, which makes her face slim and white. Her hair is simply tied up in a pretty bun.
, with two pearl tassels inserted into it, it is both delicate and elegant.
Compared to herself, Su Chuntao lowered her head and glanced at her own clothes, and suddenly felt a little annoyed. Su Liu was obviously older than herself, but now she looked like she was much younger than him. Is it true that people rely on clothes?
?
Su Chuntao bit her lower lip, blaming herself for being slapped on the back of the head, and running over here without any trouble. Wasn't this adding to Su Liu's prestige?
Despite this, Su Chuntao still raised her chest proudly, looked at Su Liu sideways and said, "What are you doing?"
"It's my turn to ask you this, what are you trying to do by hiding here?" Su Liu looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
After saying this, Su Chuntao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She almost jumped up and said sharply: "Who is sneaking around? Doesn't this place belong to your family? I can't stand here? The scenery here is extremely beautiful.
Okay, can I enjoy the snow here?"
Enjoy the snow?
The corner of Su Liu's mouth twitched and she glanced around. Apart from fields and sparse houses, she really couldn't see anything to reward.
However, she didn't expose her, and said with a smile: "Of course it's okay. Please reward me slowly, and I won't disturb your elegance." After that, she turned around and left.
"Su Liu, you are standing here, what do you mean by smiling like that? Are you laughing at me?" Su Chuntao was stimulated by the unknown sneer at the corner of her mouth. He walked around to her in two steps and huffed angrily.
typical.
Su Liu found it funny and said: "You are allowed to enjoy the snow here, but you are not allowed to laugh? Su Chuntao, are you being too unreasonable?"
"You were just laughing at me." Su Chuntao stamped her foot and gritted her teeth and said, "I know, you were just laughing at me because I'm not as good as you. You're really taking pleasure in our misfortune when we've ended up like this."
Su Liu remained silent. Su Chuntao thought he had hit the mark on what was on her mind, so she said smugly: "What's the matter, am I right? Su Liu, you are a cruel and evil person to begin with."
"You're really right. I'm a cruel and evil person. But so what?" Su Liu shrugged and asked innocently.
Su Chuntao choked and blinked. He said she was bad. Shouldn't she be angry? Shouldn't she be angry? What kind of reaction is this?
"You, you are a bad woman." Su Chuntao didn't have a few words in her mind, so she could only speak randomly.
"Well, what else is there?" Su Liu simply folded his hands and looked at Su Chuntao suppressing her blush, which was really funny.
When Su Chuntao saw Su Liu's smile, it was very dazzling, because she looked like a clown, extremely ugly and ridiculous.
"You have nothing to say? Then I can go."
"Stop." Su Chuntao stopped her, looked at the carriage loading things not far away, and asked, "I heard you want to sell your house?"
"so?"
Su Chuntao gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you never coming back again?"
"There's nothing to miss here, why should I come back?" Su Liu snorted.
"Su Liu, no matter what, I am still your sister." Su Chuntao said angrily.
Su Liu narrowed his eyes, was he really asking for something?
"Then what?"
"Take me with you to Changping and go to Beijing." Su Chuntao pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before asking.
Su Liu was really surprised this time, looking at her up and down, as if she had heard something extraordinary.
Su Chuntao became more and more embarrassed, but thinking about her future, she had to endure it no matter how embarrassed she was. Otherwise, based on their family's current reputation, who would be willing to marry them?
She is already sixteen years old, and she will really become an old girl if she delays it any longer. If Su Liu is willing to take her away, there may be some chance. Even if she is given a job, it is better than living in this small village.
Therefore, she wiped her face and came to Su Liu to beg her.
"I couldn't help you in the past, and I'm here to admit my fault to you. As long as you take me to Changping and Beijing, I'm willing to be your slave," Su Chuntao said through gritted teeth.
"What do you want to do in Changping and Beijing?"
Su Chuntao's face suddenly turned red and hesitantly said: "I, I am also sixteen this year. How can anyone here be willing to get married to our family?"
Su Liu was suddenly stunned, looking at Su Chuntao's shy look in a daze. Feng Shui had changed, and the person who used to arrogantly called him Su Liuzhi would actually beg her for his future.
It's a pity that she is not a holy mother, nor is she burdened by fame. If she is ruthless, then she should be ruthless and make a clean break with these people.
"Why should I?" Su Liu looked at her indifferently and said: "Su Chuntao, you are just a concubine. I don't even recognize my biological father. How can I recognize a concubine who has always only bullied me as my sister?"
?Are you too naive?"
Su Chuntao's face changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Su Liu, don't push yourself too hard. I've already admitted my mistake. What else do you want?"
"It's your business to admit your mistake. Why should I take you to Changping? Aren't I full and waiting for you to wrap around and suck blood like leeches?" Su Liu said sarcastically.
"You, are you really so cruel?"
"As you can see." Su Liu turned around.
"Su Liu, you cruel and poisonous woman, you will have your retribution. I curse you to be abandoned and never become a general's wife." Su Chuntao screamed from behind: "Just wait, I will definitely be better than you in the future."
More scenery, just wait!"
"I'll wait!" Su Liu sneered, a curse? If the curse was effective, then Su Chuntao and the others would have died thousands of times before!
