The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 18 Progress
Although Su Yunduo used to be able to do a lot of housework and farm work, he was shy and cowardly, and blushed even when he spoke loudly, but since that day, he has become more agile in speaking and doing things.

Ning really couldn't see what was wrong with such a Su Yunduo, and was even very happy with Su Yunduo's change.

Ning knows that her temperament has always been weak. After marrying into the Su family, Yang and Xiao Yang squeezed it in their palms like a piece of dough, because with a mother like her, even Su Yunduo was tortured. Developed a soft temper.

Of course, because Su Chengzhi has a reputation as a scholar, both Ning and Su Yunduo are good at embroidery, so although their mother and daughter are not favored by their parents-in-law at home, their parents-in-law will not do too much.

Su Chengzhi teaches in the town, and he can only go back to Geshan Village every ten days to rest for a day. The couple get together less often and leave more, but because Su Chengzhi loves the Ning family very much, and takes good care of his children, in Ning's heart, he feels that he is better than those in the village. Those women who are often beaten by men are much luckier, and they are considered to be married to a good man.

She thought her life would be like this, but she didn't expect that once the man became seriously ill, her parents-in-law would sweep their family out of the house.

Seeing that the family had no way out, fortunately, Su Yunduo, who had always been two points softer than her, stood up unexpectedly. For this family and the Ning family, there is really no way out.

In the past half a month, Ning has sighed in her heart more than once that the children of poor families are already in charge of the family. Seeing Su Yunduo busy every day, she is not without heartache, but she also knows that Su Yunduo cannot be stopped from being busy. I feel even more distressed for Su Yunduo's sensibleness.

Although Su Yunduo had been to Xiushui County before, he remembered that in the first month of last year, his family of five went to Heishui Town to pay New Year's greetings. Ning Zhongping, who loves children very much, took his nephew and niece to Xiushui County for a while.

Xiushui County is not big, but the whole time is really just a fleeting glimpse, how much impression can Su Yunduo leave with just such a trip?

Su Yunduo, a 12-year-old girl, wants to go to the county seat by herself, how can the Ning family feel relieved.

What's more, what Su Yunduo meant was to get up early in the morning and go to the mountain to collect medicinal materials before going to the county seat. The time of departure must be earlier than going directly to the county seat, so Ning was naturally worried.

But facing Su Yunduo's firm gaze, Ning knew that even if he objected, Su Yunduo would not give up. This situation has happened many times in the past half month.

Ning stroked her swollen stomach and sighed: "It's really only halfway up the mountain?"

Su Yunduo nodded again and again, no matter what, he must go to the county town tomorrow.

The gust of wind has passed tonight, and the weather will only get colder tomorrow, so I have to prepare food for the family quickly, oh, yes, I also need to prepare some firewood for winter.

Looking at Ning, who was nearly eight months pregnant, and at her own small body, Su Yunduo could only sigh in her heart.

As for the firewood, I have to hurry up and do it myself!
Fortunately, it is not far from the mountain here, and it is not difficult to prepare firewood.

The difficult thing is, if I'm not at home tomorrow, will the best like Xiao Yang and Su Yunying come to the door again to cause trouble.

"But it's too unsafe for you, a girl, to go to the county town alone!" Ning's brows were so wrinkled that they could catch a fly.

"Sister, I'll go with you tomorrow!" Su Zexuan just stepped in after taking a bath.

Looking at Su Zexuan with a steamy head, Su Yunduo gave him an angry look, and pulled a clean handkerchief to wipe Su Zexuan's wet hair, but Su Zexuan stepped aside and stared at Su Yunduo with burning eyes: "Sister, let me let you go tomorrow!" Let me go with you, although I may not be able to help you, but I am a boy after all."

"You and I are gone, only mother and second brother are left at home. If someone comes to make trouble again, who will help mother?" Su Yunduo shook her head and refused. In addition to selling that ginseng tomorrow, she would like to look around for any business opportunities. It's really inconvenient to take Su Zexuan with her, and she doesn't want to reveal her secrets in front of Su Zexuan.

Although Su Zexuan is young, he is really smart, I am afraid that today's walnuts have already made him a little suspicious.

The most important thing now is how to keep the family from starving.

Besides, Su Zexuan is only eight years old, if something happens, what can he do to help him?

It's better to let Su Zexuan stay with his parents at home, he can somewhat help his mother take care of his parents, and he can help his mother for a while when someone comes to make trouble at home.

Su Yunduo glanced at his second younger brother Su Zechen who was sleeping dimly on the bed, feeling envious for a while, sometimes being young is a blessing, just look at Su Zechen.

Even if I was frightened and cried miserably during the day, drank half a bowl of white rice porridge, and ate a large bowl of porridge soaked in wild vegetables and pumpkins, no, I fell asleep after a while.

The few of them talking in front of him didn't affect him at all. There was even a smile on the corner of their mouths, and they occasionally smacked their small mouths.

But thinking about it, I feel a little sad. Since I was kicked out by my grandma, today is the best and most satisfying meal.

After listening to Su Yunduo's words, and thinking about what happened one after another today, Su Zexuan's face flashed a trace of hostility.

Their family is like this, Su Yunying and Aunt Lei would not let it go, if it weren't for them, Dad wouldn't be so angry that he vomited blood today.

Daddy's health is not good at all, and the family worked so hard to help him get back a little bit. With today's turmoil, Daddy's health has been in vain!
But even so, Su Yunying actually turned black and white, and insisted on pouring a basin of sewage on her sister, and Xiao Yang even beat her father until he vomited blood. I couldn't bear it any longer!

Hmph, if they dare to come again, he will never let her come and go freely like today, and let her criticize and scold Huai without any scruples.

Su Zexuan swore fiercely in his heart, his clenched fists turned pale from exhaustion, and a trace of hostility flashed across his face.

Although the hostility on Su Zexuan's face was only fleeting, it did not escape Su Yunduo's eyes.

Although a little startled, Su Yunduo did not express anything. She was happy to see Su Zexuan's change.

Given the current situation of their family, as the eldest son in the family, Su Zexuan must grow up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very difficult for her to support the family alone.

"Duoduo, let your second brother go with you tomorrow. When you leave, mother will lock the door, and don't let anyone come in to disturb your father's recuperation." For a man who is alone at home with his youngest son who is seriously ill in bed , Ning's heart is not without timidity, but her worry about her daughter overcomes her inner cowardice, and she still insists on letting Su Yunduo take Su Zexuan with her.

Ning can say this, even though the coping method he chooses is still weak, Su Yunduo feels extremely happy.

After the great changes in the family, although it was only half a month, both the Ning family and Su Zexuan had improved to varying degrees. Although this progress was still very slow, it gave Su Yunduo considerable encouragement.
