After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 20 The precursor to a beating

After Su Yueyue returned to the village, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. Who could the man called Brother Tiger by his uncle be?

But she didn't recognize anyone in town.

The little girl lowered her head to think about things and did not pay attention to the road under her feet. As a result, she only felt a pain in her forehead after taking a few steps. When she raised her head, she had already bumped into Zhang Ruoan who was coming towards her.

"Yueyue, did you just come back from outside?"

Zhang Ruoan's eyes were full of joy. In a few days, he would go to the academy in the town to study. Of course, he wanted to spend more time with Yueyue in the remaining days, but he didn't expect to meet her here.

"Ah."

The boy was half a head taller than her. Just when she was walking with her head down, her forehead hit his chin.

After rubbing her sore forehead, the little girl just responded in a low mood.

"Does it hurt?"

A touch of red now appeared on the boy's chin.

"Fortunately."

Shaking her head, Su Yueyue was about to leave, but he blocked her way.

"Yueyue, what's wrong with you? If you have any troubles, just tell me. Maybe I will think of a solution."

The boy didn't want to make the girl he liked sad. He liked to see her show those two little pear holes when she was happy.

"Brother Ruo'an, do you know Brother Hu?"

After hesitating for a while, Su Yueyue asked.

Uncle Zhang would go to the town to look for work when he had free time on weekdays. Maybe he would recognize it?

"Brother Tiger?"

The young man was stunned. How did he know this name Yueyue that he had never heard before?
  "Well, I heard my brother-in-law and others pronounce this name today, so I was curious."

Su Yueyue concealed the fact that she followed them all the way to the Anyao Gambling House, and only briefly told him what happened this morning.

"When my father comes back today, I will ask him for you."

Everyone in the village knew that Su Laosan was not a good person, and few of the people he knew were good.

He didn't think Su Yueyue was making a fuss. On the contrary, it was the right thing to be more vigilant against unreasonable emergencies.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Ruo'an."

After the words fell, the two of them walked side by side and no one spoke again.

Withered yellow leaves fell in the wind, covering the yellow mud road under your feet.

Listening to the slight breathing sound beside him, the young man's ears turned red quietly.

Just wait another year.

He will definitely study hard and come to ask for marriage after he obtains the honors.

The girl felt very calm in her heart, and she accepted her fate the moment her father closed his eyes.

Their paths are no longer in the same direction.

"Yueyue, are you back?"

Aunt Zhang was sitting in the yard with Su Qing and Su Jing.

She concentrated on picking up the insoles, while the two little girls watched the insects move in the yard.

Hearing the sound of the door opening coming from the courtyard door, Aunt Zhang looked up.

Seeing that her son and Yueyue were back, she just smiled and asked.

"Yes, please Aunt Zhang." Yueyue smiled and nodded, then called to the two sisters beside her, "Qingqing, Jingjing, let's go. We have to go home and cook."

The two little girls were also very well-behaved. They just waved goodbye to Aunt Zhang and the others, and followed their elder sister back home.

"Have you asked?"

Aunt Zhang held the needle in one hand and rubbed it on her scalp, then continued to pick up the insoles.

The mother is worried about her son leaving home.

"Hi, Xu Changsheng and I have agreed to go to town to buy books and pens together tomorrow."

"Just say hello, go back to the house and take a rest." Aunt Zhang nodded, her face full of relief.

When my son grows up, he will have to live on his own for the rest of his life.

The couple still had to stay in the village, and they had to wait for their son to come back during the holidays.

There are also unused yards that can be rented out in the town, but the cheapest one costs 200 cash a month. With the 200 cash available to rent a yard, she would rather spend it all on her son.

If he hadn't been injured a few years ago and all the family's money was used to treat himself and recuperate his health, how could his son drop out of school halfway and wait until he is sixteen years old before he can go to college again?

"Mom, don't work too hard."

"I know."

The mother and son separated without saying anything.

Su Yueyue of the Su family is busy washing rice on the stove.

Because of the wound on her arm, she was not even allowed to cook.

Now that I'm almost fully recovered, it's okay to have some bowel movements.

Seeing that they couldn't stop Sister, the two little girls Su Qing and Su Jing had no choice but to find jobs for themselves. They were afraid that if they worked slower, Sister would snatch them away.

Sister has an injury on her hand, so she should do less housework.

By the time Feng Shuzhen and Yang Lihua returned to the village, the porridge in Su Yueyue's pot was already ready.

"Yueyue."

Feng Shuzhen frowned, her eyes full of disapproval.

The doctor told her that her hands should rest well and not do heavy work, but she refused to listen.

My eldest daughter is good at everything, but she is stubborn.

Although Qingqing and Jingjing are young, they will always remember what they say.

"Mom, my hand is fine. You don't have to worry."

As Su Yueyue spoke, she winked at the two sisters on the side.

Su Qing and Su Jing were also smart. One took the bowl and the other took the chopsticks and left the kitchen. They were still asking their mother to wash her hands quickly and eat.

Looking at the backs of her three daughters, the disapproval on Feng Shuzhen's face turned into a smile.

There will be good days ahead.

Zhang Haotian returned early today. As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Ruoan ran out of the house when he heard the noise.

"father."

"What's up?"

Zhang Haotian wiped the sweat from his face and stepped on the mud on his feet on the stone slab to make sure it was clean before entering the yard.

The young man ran back and forth to pour water, and then asked, "Dad, do you know there is a man named Brother Hu in this town?"

Zhang Haotian, who was drinking from the water bowl, almost spit out the water in his mouth.

Putting the water bowl down, the man had a look of surprise on his face, and after a long time he asked, "How do you know Brother Hu?"

Once he heard that his father recognized him, Zhang Ruoan's face became a little more happy.

Seeing his son's happy face, Zhang Haotian's heart sank. Could his son have been led astray by someone?
  Even people like Brother Hu know it.

Before the boy could ask any more questions, Zhang Haotian was about to find a stick. Zhang Ruo'an also realized something was wrong and quickly stopped his father.

"Dad, what are you doing!"

His experience as a son over the years told him that if he didn't explain things quickly, he would get a severe beating tonight.

"How do you recognize Brother Hu! If you don't learn from me, just learn something and come back!"

Zhang Haotian looked around for a stick, and Zhang Ruoan could only explain quickly.

"It's not me, it's not me. I'm asking for someone else."

Upon hearing that there was something hidden, Zhang Haotian glared at his son and sat down.
