The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 45 Explained
Chapter 45 explained

For more than half a month, Su Chengzhi was lying on the hospital bed, his mind was always in a state of confusion.

After experiencing great changes in his life, Su Chengzhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, was no different from ordinary patients, thinking a lot.

From then on, he was no longer the youngest of the Su family living in the big family, but the independent head of the family separated from the Su family. The future of his wife and children depended on him to support him, but he was unable to support himself due to illness.

Whenever he thinks about the unfeelingness of his parents that day, the pain in his heart will last for a long time like a blunt knife cutting through flesh, and he still doesn't know how to deal with his parents when he sees them again.

The old house still doesn't let him go, even a niece can speak nonsense in front of him, if the heart-pounding words are not acquiesced by parents, how can a 13-year-old niece dare to say it?
Spitting blood twice in succession dispelled many depressions that were weighing on Su Chengzhi's heart, and also cleared up his mind a lot, but added worries about the future in his heart.

That day, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis by Tiekou, a doctor in the town. Even if he recovers well, it may not be so easy for him to return to school and become a teacher.

Without the salary of being a wife, how could he lead his family through the cold winter?

Firewood can be collected and chopped up the mountain, but where does food come from? !Is it really necessary to rely on Ning's hands to support the whole family?

Ning's childbirth is just around the New Year's Eve, and there will be another mouth in the family. Ning will not be able to do embroidery for a month or two. Is the whole family just waiting to starve to death?

Although there are only three short months until the next time I receive the rice, how to spend these three months is also the key.

Su Chengzhi knew in his heart that asking for rice from the old house was the way to go!

On that day, the whole year's lin rice can be brought out at one time, which is naturally the result of the eldest brother-in-law's relationship.

If this matter gets out, Lin Luhu, the elder sister who works as a small official in the county government, will also be involved. He should be able to use this to get back some grannies.

Thinking of the three months' wages paid in advance, Su Chengzhi sighed again.

This matter has something to do with the eldest sister Su Shu and the eldest sister Fulin Luhu!
That was because Lin Luhu's family was in urgent need of money, Su Shu and Lin Luhu went back to their mother's house crying and asked for 20 taels.

Because of Su Chengzhi's granary rice and wages, the Su family's life is pretty good, but it is still very difficult to take out 20 taels at once. Of course, even if the family has it, Yang is reluctant to take it out, so he forced Su Chengzhi. The school had paid three months' wages in advance, plus Su Chengzhi's wages for the month, this was enough to make up the 20 taels of silver that Su Shu and Lin Luhu needed.

If you can't go back to the school to continue teaching, the money will naturally have to be returned to the school. Where did the 15 taels of silver come from?

But, thinking of the salary advance, Su Chengzhi couldn't help but want to thank Mr. School Accountant.

I remember that when I paid the wages in advance that day, Lin Luhu followed him to the accountant of the school to get the money because he needed it urgently. The money never passed through Su Chengzhi's hands. ready to leave.

Mr. Accountant had heard about the Su family's affairs for a long time, and he really couldn't see that Mr. Su, who was the most knowledgeable and tempered in the school, was being bullied like this, so he said a word haha, forcing Lin Luhu to have to meet Su Chengzhi in the accountant's office. Under the witness of the husband, the loan receipt was drawn up, and he and another gentleman who came to the accounting room to collect the wages made the loan receipt and signed it, and indicated that the money was not only Su Chengzhi's salary for the month, but also the salary of the school for three months in advance .

At that time, Lin Luhu's eyes were like knives, which made the accountant even more displeased, so he simply made three copies, Lin Luhu and Su Chengzhi each took one copy, and the other was kept in the school's accountant together with Su Chengzhi's advance receipt, so that If you come to Lin Luhu, you can rely on it even if you want to!

The reason why Su Fugui and Su Dazhi appeared near the school today is absolutely impossible to repay the advance wages. There is only one thing left, and that is to find a way to get the loan slip out.

Su Chengzhi wasn't worried about that receipt. The accountant of the school could not be bribed by anyone. Unless he brought money to pay off the advance wages, it would be difficult for Su Chengzhi or Ning to come forward in person!
Now that I think about it, it’s really thanks to Mr. Accountant’s extra words, otherwise the family that was originally empty would have to bear a foreign debt of 15 taels of silver!
However, it was actually his daughter Su Yunduo, who was always honest and dull, who first proposed asking for food and money, which always made Su Chengzhi feel puzzled, so he looked at Su Yunduo with a little more scrutiny.

Unexpectedly, Su Yunduo acted very calmly, as if he didn't feel his scrutinizing eyes at all. This daughter has changed a lot since the separation.

Su Chengzhi suppressed the doubts in his heart, coughed lightly and asked Su Zexuan who had just come in to boil some water for him, he wanted to wipe himself.

Su Zexuan glanced at Su Yunduo, Su Yunduo nodded slightly and said: "The stove is empty right now, remember to put more wormwood to cook together."

Su Yunduo already had some premonitions in his heart. Su Chengzhi wanted to talk to her but wanted to avoid Su Zexuan, so Su Yunduo naturally had to cooperate.

When Su Zexuan left, Su Yunduo just stood quietly in front of Su Chengzhi with his hands down. That well-behaved appearance made Su Chengzhi feel that she was still the same Su Yunduo before, never changing.

"How did Dodo think of asking grandma for food?" The father and daughter were silent for a moment, and Su Chengzhi finally asked, "But who said something in front of you?"

The whole family is starving to death, and she needs someone to remind her?
Su Yunduo snorted softly in his heart, he was already thinking about it, but there was no superfluous expression on his face, he just said softly: "Dad, did you know that grandma only gave our family [-] catties of black noodles when we separated. "

After only saying this, Su Yunduo intentionally paused for a while, raised his eyes to look at Su Chengzhi, then lowered his eyes and continued: "Daddy was brought back that day, and I hurt my head because of sister Yunying's pushing and shoving. His mind seemed to be empty, and he didn't think about Daddy Linmi at all.

Today, I was also annoyed by grandma's partiality and confounding black and white, and remembering that even the rice noodles brought by my uncle at home were about to run out, so I thought of Daddy's rice, and impulsively asked grandma for Daddy's rice, but I don't regret it.

I, I know that my father's lin rice was brought back by my grandfather and uncle through the relationship of the eldest aunt in the early years.

Everyone thought that our family could live a good life relying on Daddy's rice, but no one knew that Daddy's rice had been brought back by the grandfather.

I can eat less, but my two brothers and mother...

I, I just think, if grandma can return daddy's rice for the next three months to us, the family won't have to worry about food, daddy can recuperate in peace of mind, and mother can wait for delivery in peace of mind.

With food, daddy's illness can get better sooner. Only when daddy's body recovers, can our family be able to continue to honor grandma...

It was Sister Yunying who told me about Dad's salary advance.

Sister Yunying told me that my grandma told me that when my aunt returns the money, I will leave enough for my elder brother to rush for the exam, and leave the rest to Sister Yunying for the money at the bottom of the box. "

What Su Yunduo said was just stating the facts and not exaggerating. It was a reasonable explanation for Su Chengzhi's problem, but it made Su Chengzhi's heart churn for a while.
