The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 46 Decision
Let’s not talk about the rice for now, just talk about the wages paid in advance. Although his wages are always brought back and handed over directly to Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang has always been partial to the grandchildren of the eldest family, Mrs. Yang has arranged for him the wages paid in advance early on. Where to go, he didn't consider his children at all, and still cast a heavy shadow in Su Chengzhi's heart.

At first, Su Yunduo’s displeasure at asking Yang’s for food and rice was completely overwhelmed by the shadows at this moment. On the contrary, there was a little appreciation for Su Yunduo in his heart, and he vaguely felt that this was probably the beginning of a family with a daughter growing up. Feel.

The change in Su Chengzhi's eyes did not escape Su Yunduo's eyes, which made her secretly happy and a little unbelievable.

How filial Su Chengzhi is to Su Fugui and the Yang family, there are too many painful memories in the depths of the memory of the original owner, otherwise a person who is so good at reading and knowledge has to stop at the fame of a scholar, knowing that his wife and children What kind of life is spent at home but only comforting in secret?

Su Yunduo felt that he really couldn't understand Su Chengzhi's psychology, let alone what kind of plan he had in mind, whether to continue his unlimited filial piety, or to fight for the treatment he deserved from the old house for his wife and children.

Seeing that Su Chengzhi was speechless for a long time, Su Yunduo suppressed the secret joy in his heart, but instead showed a timid expression and asked weakly: "I, shouldn't I ask grandma for granary rice, let alone mention daddy's advance wages?" about?"

Su Cheng looked at Su Yunduo determinedly, Su Yunduo's gaze flickered away, this is what Su Yunduo should behave.

Seeing his daughter's timidly dodging eyes, Su Chengzhi felt a momentary pain in his heart. Although his Su Chengzhi's daughter could not be called a heavenly girl, she should be a charming girl in this remote mountain village, but because of his forbearance, she was born. He was bred to be cowardly.

Su Zechen's terrified cry suddenly came from the next room, and Su Chengzhi only felt a stabbing pain in his ears that he had never felt before.

Su Chengzhi quietly listened to the movement next door, and Su Zechen gradually sank under Ning's gentle comfort.

When the voice from next door subsided, Su Chengzhi showed a bleak smile with a little self-deprecation on his face, reached out his hand to Su Yunduo, patted the little hand hanging by his side, and said: "Yes, of course Linmi should! "

Su Yunduo's eyes widened suddenly, it was really unexpected to hear Su Chengzhi's decisive answer!
Before Su Yunduo could express anything, Su Chengzhi said two more words: "But..."

Su Yunduo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, and the surprise in her eyes dimmed instantly. Her performance was so obvious that Su Chengzhi was dumbfounded. For a while, only the intertwined breathing of father and daughter was heard in the room, one light and one heavy and Slightly sputum.

"But...some things are not as simple as you see." Su Chengzhi finally said this sentence, and the father and daughter fell into silence again. It was not until Su Zexuan appeared again that the silence between father and daughter was broken. .

Su Chengzhi said it was a body scrub, but it was really just a body scrub.

When we first came to this house, we didn't have any conditions for bathing. Besides, Su Chengzhi's body was so weak that he couldn't even stand up by himself. Even with Su Zexuan's help, how much could an eight-year-old child do?
Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan washed the only big wooden basin at home and carried it into Su Chengzhi's room. The siblings mixed the boiled wormwood water into hot water at a suitable temperature and sent it to the room several times in small basins. Su Chengzhi's room.

Although Su Chengzhi's spirit is better, that is only relatively speaking, it is absolutely impossible for him to wipe himself.

Su Yunduo wanted to help, but when he thought of Su Chengzhi's temperament, he still obediently left the room, but still took Su Zexuan to explain in detail.

With Su Zexuan's help, after a lot of tossing, Su Chengzhi finally felt much refreshed.

It has been more than half a month since he fell ill, and Su Chengzhi, who is always neat and tidy, was already so sticky. If he had to find an excuse to dismiss Su Zexuan today, he might not have such a chance.

Thinking of the conversation with Su Yunduo, and then look at the two thin children who are busy for him, and the wife next door who has a big belly and does embroidery work day and night, and her face is bruised and purple by Su Zeliang's bullying. Su Zechen, who couldn't even sleep soundly, couldn't help but throbbing in Su Chengzhi's heart.

As a husband, why doesn't he hope that Ning's family can live a relaxed and comfortable life? As a father, why doesn't he expect his children to be dragons and phoenixes among the people, but God doesn't do what people want. He has such parents and brothers and sisters-in-law, so that His wife and children had such a hard time.

Su Chengzhi half-lyed on the kang, watching the emaciated Su Yunduo siblings rushing in and out, he gradually made a decision in his heart: Lin rice... must, and there must be an explanation for the advance salary, otherwise he will be sorry for his wife and children.

It's just that how and how much rice you want, you have to think about it, no matter what, it's his parents, and filial piety still has to be taken into account.

Although his parents ordered him to advance the three-month wages paid in advance by the school, the elder brother-in-law followed him to pay the money, and it was signed by the elder brother-in-law. The mother who made the arrangement, would she be happy?
The salary for three months is 15 taels of silver. Even if the parents take out all the granary rice for the next three months and give them good rice, at most it can only pay off the salary advanced by the school.

Su Chengzhi looked around the room, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, it's really a barren house!

If he can't get back the advance wages, even if his parents generously return him all the rice for three months at once, how can he pay back the school wages and support his wife and children? !

Facing reality for the first time, Su Chengzhi realized that he was a true reflection of the phrase "a scholar who is useless for nothing".

Su Yunduo's saying is very correct, if he himself is not alive, how can he honor his parents, so he must live first, so that he can have the opportunity to honor his parents, so he has to ask for grannies, and also for the advance wages. want!
Of course, Su Chengzhi knew very well in his heart that his good parents would definitely use various excuses to refuse to give out the rice and advance wages, so he had to rely on the power of outsiders, and even if he ended up getting nothing, he had to let everyone know Well, he, Su Chengzhi, has died once, and he will never continue to watch his wife and children being bullied by the old house.

Su Yunduo, who is only 12 years old, is still able to work hard for the livelihood of his family. As a husband and a father, Su Chengzhi is not as good as a daughter. Naturally, he should have his own stand. A reward without complaint or regret should have been enough!
Su Chengzhi has never seen so clearly like at this moment, and he can think clearly. After Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan cleaned up the house and prepared to wait for Su Chengzhi to lie down, Su Chengzhi said: "Zexuan, go to the village chief's house for a while." , please come over to the village chief, I, I have something to discuss with him."

Su Yunduo raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with some uncertainty: "Now?"

Su Chengzhi nodded.

Su Yunduo had some guesses about Su Chengzhi asking Liu Donglin to come over to discuss the matter, and he was willing to invite Liu Donglin to come over, but after talking with her and brushing himself, Su Chengzhi's expression was really not very good.
