No matter how the old house tried to persuade him to stay, Su Liu did not stay until the day of Su Changsheng's funeral. After staying in Baise Town for one night, only one servant was left at the old house to watch the follow-up matters and listen to the news, so he took Su Liu with him.
Xiao returned to Changping.
As usual, Su Liu told Chen everything about the old house. When he mentioned that Su Chuntao ran away, Chen was obviously taken aback.
"I used to think that the child was squeamish and domineering, but she was not evil. I never thought that she would abandon her younger siblings." There was unspeakable disappointment in Chen's tone.
"Although people are selfish, she may be afraid, but acting like this is also unfilial. Mother, you don't have to be disappointed. Everything has a cause and effect. The cause she planted will eventually be her own taste in the future.
." Su Liu said lightly relieved.
These days, the outcome of being a woman alone is not ideal. Either you are lucky and meet a good family, or you meet a bad person and regret it for the rest of your life.
Since Su Chuntao made this choice, no matter what happens in the future, she will be responsible for it.
"I hope she meets a good person." Mrs. Chen nodded, not wanting to continue the topic anymore, so she changed the subject and said, "Then from what you said, the old man only has a few years to live?"
"After suffering such a big blow, my mental state is worse than before. If I take good care of myself, I guess I can live longer. If not, I guess it will only be a matter of one or two years."
Chen was silent.
"Mom, don't think too much. Both the left and right have separated from each other. I have fulfilled my responsibilities to them and I have a clear conscience." Su Liudan said: "Now that person is dead, we will never be with that family again.
It doesn't matter anymore, we can just live our lives behind closed doors. If you are worried about others, you might as well worry about our little brother." She smiled and touched her bulging belly.
Mrs. Chen naturally knew this and nodded with a smile.
Su Liu added: "When Su Jinquan's matter is over, I will go back to Yuncheng with my brother-in-law, and I will rely on you, mother, to take care of the family affairs."
Mrs. Chen knew that Su Liu wanted to build a large manor, so she said: "Go ahead, I won't give birth to you so soon, and there are so many servants at home, so I'm worried that the middle child will not be done well."
It's easy to do things when there's someone behind the scenes. Su Jinquan's case was quickly settled because he confessed on his own. Just as Su Liu said, he was sentenced to three thousand miles of exile.
When Mrs. Zhou came out of prison, she first came to the Cao family and wanted to see Mr. Chen, but both Cao Kui and Su Liu thought it was nothing good and refused to meet.
In fact, Su Liu sympathized with her quite a bit. If he returned home and found that the daughter he had always regarded as his treasure had left them and ran away, he would probably be so painful and disappointed!
As Su Liu expected, Mrs. Zhou returned to Da'ao Village and learned that Su Chuntao had run away. The whole day suddenly felt shattered. She looked at the family with four walls, the man was dead, the eldest son was sentenced to exile, and the younger son was still living in poverty.
She is ignorant, her little daughter is a fool, and her mother-in-law scolds her every day. Mrs. Zhou feels that she might as well die a hundred times!
But she valued Su Jinquan after all, so she sold off the last bit of her hidden wealth, preparing to use it to bribe the escorting officer.
Da'ao Village could no longer live in it, so the Zhou family wanted to take Yindan and follow Su Jinquan into exile and find a place to settle down. But Su Changsheng died, and the eldest son was sentenced to exile again, and he would never come back.
With only one silver egg left, how could the Su family let her take away Su Changsheng's only remaining incense?
Even Yindan knew that there were no good fruits to be gained from being exiled, so he refused to go with her, making Mrs. Zhou so angry that she grabbed him and beat him several times.
Su Qingxiang, on the other hand, persuaded Mr. Zhou several times, and his family still had a few acres of land and a house. He could bring up and educate his two children safely, and they would have someone to rely on for the rest of his life. Who knows where he would be exiled?
I don’t know what the situation will be like, whether this life will be possible or not!
But Mrs. Zhou wouldn't listen. If something like this happened, how could she stay here? She was determined to follow her eldest son and take Yindan away.
No matter how stubborn Zhou was, she couldn't resist the fact that the Su family guarded her day and night as if to guard against thieves. Seeing that Su Jinquan's exile was getting closer and closer, she gritted her teeth and left Yin Dan and Yaya behind.
Brother and sister, they followed Su Jinquan.
The Su family had already expected Zhou's cruelty. Now Su Yindan and Yaya are the only ones left in Su Changsheng's room. According to Mr. Su's wishes, the two young children will live with Su Fusheng.
Su Yindan is twelve or thirteen, so she can live with Yaya by herself.
Su Fusheng and Luo Shi were naturally unwilling, but seeing that there were still three acres of land over there, and Yin Dan could also help with things, including adding two pairs of chopsticks, they tolerated it after thinking about it.
When the news reached Su Liu's ears, she also smiled faintly. Zhou still made this choice. She didn't know if she would regret it in the future.
Soon after, news came that on the way to escort, the mother and son encountered a horse thief. Zhou was pulled by Su Jinquan to block the knife and died. Su Jinquan disappeared and was never seen again.
When the news reached everyone's ears, they couldn't help but sigh, all this is fate!
Although Su Liu had nothing to do with the Su family anymore, he secretly gave money to Su Jiang and the others to look after Yaya more, and also let Su Qingxiang look after Yin Dan more. With him taking care of it, Yin Dan wouldn't be too raised.
crooked.
There were no troubles and worries, and life was going smoothly. However, Su Liu had no time to spare. Every day, he was either helping Mr. Chen sort out the debt, or taking his two personal maids around to inspect his business.
The donkey-hide gelatin workshop is already on track. Since it is a joint venture, she has also become a hands-off shopkeeper and is waiting for the dividends. As for the hot sauce workshop, she went to the relevant government office to set up a deed for her own hot sauce and register it as Jinji.
Brand, now it not only makes chili sauce, but also other sauces, but the best-selling one is still mainly chili sauce.
After the business stabilized, Su Liu began to think about building her dream manor. Song Fei sent a letter a while ago saying that there was a large piece of good wasteland in Yuncheng between Qingzhou and Yunzhou, which fully met her requirements.
This time, Su Liu took Shuang Ning, a newly bought girl Yu He, and a steward named Zhang Peng to go to Yuncheng with Song Fei.
Yuncheng is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with beautiful scenery and a vast territory. It is an important hub between the two states. Su Liu fell in love with it right away.
The piece of wasteland that Song Fei was interested in was said to be more than 10,000 acres, connected to two unowned hilltops, and more importantly, there was a hot spring on one of the hilltops.
To say that a mountain with hot springs like this should not be liked by anyone, aside from other things, it would be worthwhile to build a hot spring villa, but no one cares about it.
After asking around, it turned out that due to geological reasons, there are hot springs in many places in Yuncheng. Not to mention a broken hilltop, there are many people in places that are more beautiful than that hilltop. Moreover, the place Su Liu wants to buy is too remote.
, the land is not easy to cultivate, so no one made any plans.
Su Liu was happy after hearing this and said to Song Fei with a smile: "It's an advantage for me."
"It's only rare for you. There are many hot springs in Yuncheng." Song Fei snorted disdainfully.
Su Liu chuckled and said, "I just washed my feet and went to the fields. I don't have much experience."
"Come on, you are so ignorant. Those who play chess, calligraphy and painting at home every day are so embarrassed. Apart from other things, your chili pepper workshop has made a lot of money." Song Fei raised his eyebrows.
He said: “There are many hot sauce workshops now, but who doesn’t recognize Kam Kee brand?”
Su Liu smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and said: "I don't make much money, so I just try to make ends meet. It's really rude."
Song Fei clicked her tongue twice. This is hypocritical. The workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and the output is selling more and more. Now the stores have opened in Yunzhou. The most important thing is what she said is a must-have side dish for home travel.
What a local specialty. There are really not many people who come to Changpyeong, Gyeongju, who don’t bring this hot sauce back to make souvenirs for others.
But this girl insists on trying to earn a living. Isn't this irritating to others? She must be a little rich woman, okay?
"Mr. Song, it's a pleasure to meet you. Is this Miss Su?" While the two were talking, a man with a big belly and an official hat came forward.
"This is the owner of Yuncheng, Bo, whose surname is Ma." Song Fei introduced calmly.
Su Liu smiled lightly and greeted Li, and the group headed for the large wasteland without further delay.
The ten thousand acres of land was indeed very remote, connected to two small hills, overgrown with weeds and thorns. Su Liu stopped and walked, squatting down from time to time to pinch the mud on the ground.
Just as the information said, this land is very barren and contains sand and gravel. It seems that nothing good can be grown. However, the soil is soft and not all land has sand and gravel. Seed harvesting in sections should not be a problem.
Especially drought-tolerant crops like corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
As Su Liu watched, she quickly planned in her mind. After three hours, her mind was filled with a criss-crossing design drawing.
"Buy it!" Su Liu said decisively after finalizing his decision.
The horse owner Bo narrowed his eyes with a smile. No one wanted to cultivate this wasteland. How could such a fool be unhappy? At that moment, he settled on the price of 900 yuan per acre. Those two hills,
It’s also generously included.
He didn't know how his heart beat when the fool he thought turned this uncultivated wasteland into a 10,000-acre manor that was envied by everyone.
After agreeing on the price, Xueluo took the new manager Zhang Peng to handle the contract and other matters, while Su Liu stood on the hillside, looking at the almost endless flat land with a peaceful smile.
Without the home in Be'aozi, she could build a super manor, build a warm and elegant house, and wait for the man to return.
No matter what the future holds, with this manor, she will never have to work again, and she will not have to worry about food and drink. When she comes to this world, she finally realizes her biggest wish, which is to build herself a strong and worry-free castle!
Suddenly I found that it was a bit difficult to finish the work~
