The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 40

In the evening, Su Laosan came back exhausted and stood outside the courtyard gate, watching his two sons scold Fang Qiu with booklets in their hands, not to mention feeling very proud.

When I entered the door, I saw Xu Zhixiang picking beans from the dustpan in the yard, and stepped forward with a smile, "His mother, our son is going to be successful, save some money, and next year he will be able to marry the eldest brother."

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhixiang gave him a sideways look, snorted coldly, and entered the room with a dustpan in hand.

Su Laosan was confused, he didn't know where Xu Zhixiang was offended, and went to see the two daughters who were sitting next to them washing wild vegetable roots, but they didn't want the two daughters to leave with basins.

Su Lao San was even more confused this time, Su Lan, who could only play with mud by the wall, "Lao San, what happened to your mother and your sister?"

Su Lan thought for a while, then pouted her lips, "The eldest sister asked the second aunt to beat her, and the mother and the second sister wanted to beat her for revenge, but they didn't hit her."

Su Laosan heard his head buzzing, "This woman Lu Feng is too deceitful!"

Xu Zhixiang sneered in the room, "You can't hear her just scolding her at home, she's bullied to the door, if you're a man, just block her door and scold her."

The youngest Su sighed, "Isn't there something wrong? The whole family doesn't touch the spoon, and the second sister-in-law is like that. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

There was no sound in the room for a while, and the third son Su accompanied him with a smile and said, "It's about this time, when will the boss and the second get off work? I'm just waiting for this evening meal every day. Hehe, what did you make for dinner? And Meat porridge?"

"It's a good idea. I sold all the money for that little money. I bought pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which is enough to buy a small piece of meat. Want to drink meat porridge every day? Dream about it."

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone calling the door from outside the courtyard. Third Su went to open the door, and saw the anxious-looking Boss Su standing outside the door, "Third brother, mother is ill. I'm going to the city to ask the doctor to show me. There is no one at home." The money is gone, didn’t you say that Su Ling and Su Chang’s medicinal materials sold for more than one or two taels of silver? First use it for emergencies, and treat it as the filial money you gave to mother this year. You don’t know, mother is so sick and talking nonsense, It’s all about you, which makes people feel sad when they look at it.”

The youngest Su was shocked at first when he heard the words, and then burst into tears because of the words of the eldest Su.

"Brother, wait a moment." After finishing speaking, he wiped away his tears and ran back. He entered the room and faced the indifferent Xu Zhixiang, he said urgently, "Mother is sick, bring me the money at home."

Xu Zhixiang sneered, "It's only one or two taels of silver in total. The house has added things these days, and the money has already been spent. The second sister-in-law came to the house at noon and forced her to ask for money. If we couldn't get it out, she would do something to Xiao Yezi. This is Seeing that she can't ask for money, another person came?"

Third Su was stunned for a moment, then shook his head sullenly, "How can you think like that? No matter what, the elder brother will not lie to others with your mother's body. It must be that my mother is really sick. Maybe the second sister-in-law came to ask for money at noon. That's why."

Xu Zhixiang didn't want to talk to him, so she twisted her body into the bed, "I've spent all the money, even if you force me to death, I won't be able to get it out."

Seeing that Xu Zhixiang refused to take out the money, the youngest Su simply went to look for it by himself, making Xu Zhixiang's face turn blue.

When Su Xiaoye and Su Xiaocao heard the voice, what they saw was Su Laosan who was rummaging through boxes and boxes.

Although the two sisters knew that there was no hidden money in this house, and Su's third son would not find anything, they were also angry because of his behavior of stealing inside and out.

But Su Xiaocao thought that her mother gave her eldest sister all the money to keep, and while praising her mother for her foresight, she also gave her a worried look, what if their father also went to her house to search for it?

I have earned more than 20 taels of silver these days. Dad found it, will he send it to grandma?
Seeing Su Xiaocao clutching the hem of her clothes worriedly, Su Xiaoye patted her shoulders reassuringly twice, Su Xiaocao looked up and met her sister's reassuring gaze, so she was not so worried.

The two sisters walked to Xu Zhixiang's side together, and softly comforted their mother who was trembling with anger.
