The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.
Chapter 26 Only a madman can control a foul-mouthed person.
Early in the morning, Su Qianqian had just woken up when she heard the old lady cursing again.
They cursed Su Bing, cursed Gu Shi, cursed the eldest brother, cursed Xiao Bao, and in short, they cursed the third branch of the family.
The idlers from the first and second wives' families didn't get scolded; only the hardworking third wife's family were the sinners.
I don't know if the old lady is too idle, but all she does every day is eat and curse.
Su Qianqian was too lazy to listen, picked up two bamboo baskets and went out.
Hearing the old woman yelling behind him, "You brat, if you don't find any wild vegetables today, don't come back. You might as well spend the night in the mountains."
Su Qianqian turned around and threw the wood-chopping knife in her hand. The knife grazed the old lady's hair and stuck into the wooden door next to her, startling the old lady so much that she sat down on the ground with a thud.
Sure enough, only a madman can control a foul-mouthed person. Su Qianqian pulled the wood-chopping knife from the wooden door and left the house without looking back.
The old lady tried several times, but failed to get up from the ground.
She was frightened.
The wood-chopping knife had just narrowly missed slicing her head.
How dare that girl?
Moreover, when that girl from the third branch of the family threw the knife, her eyes were truly terrifying. In all her years, this was the first time the old lady had ever seen such a terrifying look, as if she wanted to devour someone.
For the first time, the old lady had the idea of separating the third branch of the family; she was truly afraid of that crazy girl.
But when they thought about how no one would be able to do the farm work after the third branch of the family moved out, they felt like they were being taken advantage of.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time.
At the riverbank at the village entrance, several women who were washing clothes saw Su Qianqian and greeted her with smiles.
"Qian, you've gone to the mountains again?"
"Okay, I'm going to the mountains."
That's how warm and welcoming people are in the countryside; villagers always greet each other when they meet.
Gu was also washing clothes by the river, with clothes piled up like a small mountain in the wooden basin beside her.
"Mom, you don't need to wash clothes for the whole family of over twenty people. Many people are chatting at the village entrance. Why don't you go sit down and rest for a while?"
Gu obediently threw away the washing mallet.
"Honey, how about I go with you to the mountains?"
Su Qianqian noticed that Gu Shi's trouser legs were wet. "Mother, go out into the sun and dry your trouser legs. Wearing them wet will make you catch a cold. As for going to the mountains, it's not convenient today. We'll take you another time."
The reason for not taking Gu Shi along was that Gu Shi was in poor health, and it would be too dangerous for her to go to the deep mountains.
After Su Qianqian had walked away, Fang Cheng's mother, Madam Sun, spoke up, "Even when groups of others go to the mountains, they can't find food. This girl from the third branch of the family certainly won't be able to either."
Because Sun doesn't have to work all year round, she looks much younger than her peers in the village, and her skin is also much whiter.
She was dressed in plain white today. They say that if you want to look pretty, you should wear mourning clothes. She still looks quite charming in this outfit.
Sun looked up at the bare willow branches and cursed inwardly: These lowly people even eat willow leaves, which means the willow tree can't provide shade and will make people get sunburned.
As Sun was cursing, she suddenly caught sight of the eldest son of the Su family passing by. She quickly and secretly gave him a flirtatious wink, causing him to be distracted and bump into a willow tree.
The second son's wife stood at a distance and saw everything. She was shrewd; although her small, beady eyes were much more perceptive than the eldest son's wife's big eyes.
It seems that Mrs. Sun and her brother-in-law have hit it off.
Sun must be up early to get money from her brother-in-law, and we must stop her.
"Brother, your sister-in-law is looking for you. Hurry home!"
"Oh," the eldest son of the Su family looked back at Madam Sun with lingering reluctance, but accidentally bumped into another willow tree by the roadside.
That's incredibly stupid.
This brother-in-law is really useless; he gets completely flustered by just a casual wink from someone.
Seeing that the eldest son of the Su family had gone home, Mrs. Sun felt a little bored and called her daughter Yingxue, who was standing next to her, to sit under the willow tree and eat melon seeds.
Washing clothes was a task for the lower classes, so the Fang family never washed clothes.
The Fang family only needed to pay the villagers to help with the washing.
The money for laundry was all swindled from the Gu family in the past.
Now that the Gu family is penniless, they have no further use to them.
The mother and daughter chatted while eating sunflower seeds, talking about private matters, so they spoke very softly.
"Yingxue, keep Fugui hanging for now. Our family is short of money right now. Your brother has caught the eye of Magistrate Tang's niece. If he really marries the magistrate's niece, he'll need a large dowry. Try to get some money from Fugui."
"I know, Mom. Didn't we suddenly lose our pots and pans? Fugui said he'd buy us new ones."
As long as they buy it, it doesn't matter if it's stolen or robbed from Old Mrs. Su. Old Mrs. Su is now the richest old lady in the surrounding villages.
While the mother and daughter chatted, their attention was drawn to Su Qianqian, who was already at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Thinking of the wild vegetables Su Qianqian brought back yesterday, the mother and daughter were extremely jealous.
Everyone else can't find wild vegetables, so how did that girl manage to find such fresh and delicious ones!
Although the Fang family didn't resort to gnawing on tree bark like the villagers, they couldn't get their hands on such fresh and tender wild amaranth. Not to mention the Fang family, even wealthy families in the county town might not be able to buy such fresh wild vegetables.
Sun spat in the direction of the mountains, spitting out sunflower seed shells. "That brat even took two bamboo baskets with her. She'd be lucky to fill one basket with tree roots. I don't believe she's that lucky to find fresh wild vegetables every time."
Fang Yingxue gently stroked the pink and yellow camellia in her hair and cursed viciously: "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. If you keep going into the deep mountains, you'll be bitten to death by tigers and leopards sooner or later. You'll die without a complete corpse and won't be able to reincarnate."
If Su Qianqian had died in the deep mountains, it would have been perfect. Even if she encountered those two human traffickers again in the future, there would be no way to prove it.
It's so hard on my brother, he's been so worried and scared, constantly trying to find out about human traffickers in the county town.
As Su Qianqian was walking, she suddenly sneezed. Who was cursing her?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The important thing is to hurry up and go to the mountains to get some good stuff.
Su Qianqian encountered her older brother Su Ping'an, who was chopping wood, at the foot of the mountain.
"Brother, I'm going to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables."
Su Pingan stopped what he was doing and followed Su Qianqian into the deep mountains.
"Brother, I can go by myself."
Su Ping'an bent down and forcefully pounded his lame left leg, his expression unusually self-conscious. "Little sister, I want to protect you. Do you think I'm useless? I'm really useless as your older brother. I need my little sister to support me."
Everyone else was going into the mountains in groups, but his sister was alone, which naturally caused concern.
"No, brother, I don't look down on you or think you're useless. Everyone has different strengths. I'm good at climbing trees. There are trees everywhere in the mountains. Whenever wild animals come, I just climb up a tree. Don't worry, there won't be any danger. If you come into the mountains with me, I'll have to worry about your safety."
Su Qianqian noticed the gloomy look on her older brother's face, which was probably because of his limp, making him feel particularly inferior.
I don't know if the money in my space is enough to treat my elder brother's illness. I plan to take him to a clinic to see a doctor later.
Su Ping'an injured his leg while doing farm work. The old lady couldn't bear to spend money on treatment, which is why he became disabled.
Go to a large medical clinic and ask; maybe they can cure your brother's leg.
My eldest aunt and second aunt often insulted my eldest brother, saying that he was a cripple, the most useless man in the village, and that he would never be able to find a wife and would only be an old bachelor.
Those words greatly affected the eldest brother, and were a reason why he became increasingly insecure.
Once the family is divided, my brother won't have to listen to those sarcastic remarks anymore.
Then I'll heal my brother's leg and marry him a well-educated and sensible wife. Perfect.
God, please, please let me find something good today too.
Su Qianqian was wearing straw sandals today, and her feet had several holes poked by thorns, which hurt quite a bit.
No wonder only the poor wore straw sandals in ancient times, because the soles of straw sandals are thin and soft, making it too easy to hurt your feet. If there are stones on the road, you will get hurt, and if there are thorns, you will get pricked.
She originally had a pair of black cloth shoes with holes in them, but they got wet yesterday, so she changed into straw sandals today.
But straw sandals are not suitable for wearing in the mountains; they are too thin and offer no protection, leaving feet badly injured by loose stones and thorns.
I need to go to the county town to buy a few pairs of shoes to replace them.
