Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 9: Each one’s own belly

Zheng became anxious upon hearing this, glanced at Su Sanxi quickly, and said, "Well, your grandma bought it for them.

After saying this, I felt that this was a good reason, and I straightened my body unconsciously. Could it be that my mother-in-law could still refute her for this girl Qingying?

She didn't want to, but she heard Su Qingying say to her: "Would you like to let me search it, third aunt? If you find copper coins, it will be mine."

"Why!" Zheng said loudly.

Su Qingying smiled faintly and immersed herself in eating rice.

However, Mrs. Zheng reacted on her own and made a big blush. After giving Wang a careful look, he buried his head in his rice bowl and quickly picked up the rice, not daring to show his face again.

Mrs. Wang hated that iron could not become steel, so she gave her a fierce look.

Su Erhe's wife Feng glanced at Zheng quickly and then looked away.

Even if the sister-in-law has private money, how much money can she have? The Lu family in town hired Qingying and gave her fifty taels of silver. Apart from marrying her brother-in-law, she could save money and use it for a long time. The big house didn't have a penny, so why did she bother Qingying?

Ever since Qingying was captured by her mother-in-law and her uncle's cousins, she knew how to resist. But she's getting married soon. Why bother provoking her if you can't coax her! It made Qingying jump. If she doesn't get married, it will be a mess. What's the good thing?

While thinking about it, she put a chopstick dish into Xia He's bowl sitting next to her. The mother and daughter only focused on cooking and didn't care about Zheng and his family's lawsuit.

Father Su and mother Su are both honest people. They live their lives carefully under the hands of the stepmother and stepmother, and usually they can do nothing less. Hearing Mrs. Zheng talking about private money, the couple was so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. They were worried about being scolded by Mr. Wang, but they didn't expect Qingying to help them out with just a few words.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief.

Usually when the salesman comes to the village, Qingying, Qingyang, and Qingxing all look at him eagerly, unable to take out a single coin. The couple saw it and felt terrible pain in their hearts.

Later, I also learned to hide one or two copper coins.

After so many years of saving, it only amounted to more than two hundred copper coins. When Qingying got married this time, she couldn't afford the dowry for her child. Fortunately, her father said he would give her a couple of silver to buy it, otherwise the child would have to enter the Lu family's house naked.

A meal that satisfies everyone's stomach.

After eating, everyone went out of the main room together. Before the second room could be tidied up, the rich and noble people started to share cakes with each other.

In the main room, Mrs. Feng and Xia He were cleaning up. Mother Su was a sensible person, so she went over to help.

Mrs. Zheng was sitting idle in the main room, picking her teeth and staring at the cake in Wang's hand.

While looking at it, she clicked her tongue: "You're really willing to give it up. One tael of this donkey rolling costs 20 cents. Qingying, you are really willing to give it up. Your mother must have saved a lot of private money."

Qingying couldn't see that Su's mother was busy from morning to night, and when she saw that Su's mother wanted to stay and help, she took her twins to lend her a hand in the main room from time to time. Hearing Zheng's words, he was about to refute, but Xiao Qingxing was not angry that most of the cake was taken away, so she angrily said: "We didn't buy it, it was given as a gift! Our family has no private money!"

"A gift? Who would be so generous as to give such an expensive cake?" Mrs. Zheng snorted, with a look of disbelief.

"Just a gift!" Xiao Qingxing was told by her sister not to talk about what happened in the town today, so she just said this back and forth. Lu Bo was not confessed.

These days, having secret meetings with men, even if they are fiancés, does not have a good reputation.

Zheng still doesn't believe it.

I thought to myself, it turns out that Mrs. Zhang only looks honest on the surface, this cake is worth more than one tael. Gee, it seems she made a mistake. Mrs. Zhang turned out to be a traitor.

Su Qingying glanced at Mrs. Zheng indifferently and said coldly: "Third aunt, do you think I am willing to buy such expensive cakes to share with the family? I have the money to buy some dowry for myself? I am willing to buy it for my two cousins." Sweet cakes come back.”

Seeing Mrs. Zheng stunned by what she said, Su Qingying turned to Mrs. Wang: "Grandma, you collected fifty taels of silver, but not even one tael fell into the hands of my parents. I wonder what you planned for my dowry?" There are only a few days left. I don’t know if you, grandma, will buy it or if you give me the money, my parents will buy it.”

Wang's eyes immediately widened after hearing this: "Didn't your father say that you should give your father one tael of silver to buy things? Isn't that too little? When your mother got married, she had nothing but two pairs of clothes. What else do you want? !”

Su Qingying saw Su's mother hanging her head in embarrassment as she was clearing away the dishes. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang: "I wonder what grandma did when she got married?"

When Wang heard this, she choked.

What dowry can she have? Her natal family was poorer than Zhang's family, otherwise she would not have married her to the Su family who had a dead mother-in-law and two small oil bottles.

Old Su Tou, who was outside the hall, took two long puffs of water pipe before he said: "I told the carpenter Su in the village to buy you some cabinets and cages for the house. They will be available in two days. Then let your father Take it.”

When Father Su in the yard heard this, he immediately turned to Old Su with a grateful look on his face and said, "Thank you, Dad! Then I'll take a look tomorrow."

Su Qingying took a look outside and saw Su's father's face was happy. She sighed and without saying anything else, she took Qingyang and Qingxing's hands and returned to the room.

After Su's mother helped the second room pack up and returned to the main room, she couldn't wait to grab Su Qingying and ask about what happened in the town today.

Why did you meet Lu Bocheng?

Could it be that Qingying came to the town specifically to look for him?

Although she and the child's father were not satisfied with the Lu family, they asked Qingying to see him. If someone saw her and said something bad, it would ruin Qingying's reputation.

The five members of the family gathered in the room of Su Qingying and the two twins.

There are seven people in the big house, and they are only divided into two rooms in the east wing.

Before Su Qingying left for the conscription, he shared a room with Youwen and Youwu from the second room. Later, her eldest sister got married, so she slept in the same room with her twins. Fortunately, the twins were still small and very thin, so they could still fit in the same bed.

When Su's father heard Su's mother's question, he looked at Su Qingying with her.

The twins in the room were sharing a piece of cake, but they stopped eating now and carefully wrapped them and put them away. There is joy in my eyes, there are so many, one piece a day can last me many days!

The two little ones had smiles on their faces. After listening to Su's mother's questions, they started chattering and trying to shake off everything that happened in the town today.

After that, he concluded: "Mom, that brother is not a bad person."

Xiao Qingxing sat in Su's mother's arms, holding the corner of Su's clothes and looking straight at her.

Mother Su nodded her forehead: "Do you know what a good person or a bad person is? If I buy you cakes to eat, you are not a bad person?"

Xiao Qingxing pouted and shook Su's mother's clothes.

"He's not as bad as the leopard in the village. He doesn't look like that." Xiao Qingyang added.

The Huabao Xiao Qingyang was talking about was the only son of a widow in the village. His father died on the battlefield, and his mother never remarried, raising him alone. Every family in the village helped me, so I grew up eating from hundreds of families.

But this person doesn't want to be grateful. One family will catch a chicken today, and that family will dig up some vegetables tomorrow. The land will not be planted properly, but they will just keep an eye on the crops in someone's field that are about to ripen, and quickly carry a sack in to grab a harvest. sack. Every family has complained to the village chief countless times. He deserves to be nice, but his head remains the same.

And they even snatched the children’s snacks. He also helped those gangsters in the town to ask for protection money from farmers and businessmen who set up stalls. If they didn't pay, they would threaten them with sticks. He has a ferocious look on his face that even children are afraid of. He is an unwelcome presence in the village.

Su's father was silent for a while, and then said: "Dad asked around in the town, and the review of Lu Bochengfeng was very bad. He said that he didn't study well since he was a child, so he loved to fight. When he grew up, he would play with cats and dogs. He is eight or nine years old, but he doesn’t do anything serious. He drinks and goes to flower houses every day. Moreover, he is about to go to war. He doesn’t know whether he will come back or not. Like your brother, there is no news at all..."
