delicious farm girl

Chapter 359
Su Ran was taken aback by her appearance, she quickly dragged Sister Liu into the room, randomly grabbed a thick dress and wrapped it around her.

Sister Liu walked all the way, her whole body was almost stiff from the cold.After finally adding warm clothes to her body, she immediately hugged the clothes tightly with both hands, and now even if Su Ran asked her to take them off, she would definitely not take them off.

Of course, Su Ran would not do this either.She hastily dragged Sister Liu to the kitchen and let her sit in front of the stove to warm up.

Sister Liu baked for a long time before her cold body finally regained its softness.It's just that the red color from the cold on her body has not faded for a long time, and her body is still shaking slightly.

Mrs. Huang also came here earlier.Seeing Sister Liu like this, she also felt very distressed.

Anyway, these years, Sister Liu has been obedient in their family, and she does her work beautifully.After a long time, of course she also developed some feelings for this girl in her heart.

"Sister Liu, what's going on?" She couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Sister Liu quickly smiled at Su Ran and the others: "Auntie, sister Ran, don't worry about me, I'm fine. This time when I go home during the Chinese New Year, my parents did start to force me to marry Sanbiao again. Brother. They also said that since Sister Yao and you have been able to get 30 taels of silver for the past two years, then I must be able to get more, so they forced me to come to you to get the money, so that I can take this money Qian married the third cousin, and then went into business with the third cousin! If I quit, my mother would beat me and scold me, but she didn't dare to kill me. In the end, seeing that she really had nothing to do with me, she just Threatened me to sever the relationship between mother and daughter. I agreed immediately!"

She laughed even more as she spoke. "My mother asked me to give her 100 taels of silver as her reward for giving birth to me these years. I gave her all the money I had saved over the years. She also said that I should also give She, I will give it all to her. She left me this dress in the end and kicked me out. From now on, I will follow you, and I will never go back there again!"

Su Ran's eyes darkened.

Huang's complexion also changed, and she immediately asked, "Where did you get the 100 taels of silver?"

"This..." Sister Liu suddenly turned pale, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She lowered her head slowly. "Actually, all these years, aunt and cousin, you have been very kind to me. You have given me pocket money every month, and more and more. I have saved all of that. Of course, the sum of the money over the years is less than ten. Ten taels of silver. There are still 40 taels left, which I kept in my hand through various means. I gave my mother a total of 50 taels of silver this time, and I issued an IOU to her for the remaining 50 taels. She will let me go after paying off within the year."

"That is to say, you withheld 40 taels of silver in private?" Huang whispered.

Sister Liu lowered her head even lower.

"Sister Ran!" Huang quickly turned to look at her daughter.Su Ran nodded slightly. "I know that."

Huang was taken aback. "you know?"

Su Ran smiled and nodded. "Of course I know. I gave her the money, and then passed it to the long-term workers through her hands. Of course, I know how much money she can get out of it."

Huang was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.

Sister Liu also raised her head in surprise. "Since you know, why haven't you exposed me all this time?"

"Why should I expose it?" Su Ran asked her back, "The money I gave you is the budget I need to complete those things in my heart. You have the ability to do things well with less money, which can satisfy me and also You didn’t complain to anyone outside, that’s your skill. You deserve the saved money, and there’s nothing wrong with you wanting to keep it for yourself.”

Although she said the words so magnanimously, Sister Liu's face was flushed with embarrassment. "Sister Ran, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Treat the 40 taels of silver as if I borrowed it from you, and I will definitely return it to you in the future!"

"It's okay, I said you deserve what you deserve." Su Ran shook her head, "However, have you ever thought about it, you can give 50 taels of silver to your mother now, your mother is really willing Cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you?"

Sister Liu was taken aback again.

Su Ran let out a low sigh. "There is already a precedent for sister Qiu. Your mother can't be so stupid to let you go. She should just do this to defraud you of the money in hand, and she will come to you in the future .”

"She's here, and I don't recognize her! We've already agreed, but she yelled so loudly that all the folks in the village heard it!" Sister Liu bit her lip and yelled out of breath.

She doesn't have enough confidence, maybe she knows in her heart that these words can't convince herself, right?

As a daughter, she knows who Jiang is.

Su Ran patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, now that you're back, go back to your room and rest. We'll talk about things later on slowly."

Sister Liu hesitated a few times, and looked at Su Ran cautiously. "Sister Ran, about the 40 taels of silver...you really don't blame me?"

Su Ran shook her head firmly.

Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped her clothes and went back to the house.

But Huang's face immediately sank. "Sister Ran, what did you say just now? That's 40 taels of silver! Sister Liu, I just found out today that she is so courageous! It's only been a few years, and she's actually greedy! 40 taels of silver! She is so courageous, sister Qiu will not be like her!"

"Mother, she is courageous, didn't you know it from the beginning?" Su Ran quickly pulled Huang Shi, "Sister Qiu is obedient and capable, and she doesn't take advantage of us. Of course she is a good child, we can share It is our good fortune to have a relative like her. But, sister Liu has been working here these years, how do you think she is doing better than sister Qiu?"

Huang thought about it, but still reluctantly admitted. "She is indeed better than Sister Qiu."

It's not just better, she's done much better than sister Qiu, okay?Moreover, Sister Liu has more and more things on hand now, but she does everything very well, which greatly helps her to share the pressure.Originally, she was still thinking this Chinese New Year, if her aunt really detained Sister Liu, then she didn't know who to ask for help in the next bunch of things!Now that Sister Liu is back, she is greatly relieved.Su Ran said inwardly.

She smiled again. "Speaking of which, Sister Liu has taken care of a lot of things at home in the past two years, and the money we gave her was already low. Besides, all the oil and water she fished for was by her own ability. There is really nothing to say about this matter without intentionally taking advantage of our family."

"But..." Huang still felt uncomfortable.

Su Ran forcibly interrupted her. "Mother, Mr. Yuan said, you don't have to be suspicious when you hire someone, and you don't need to be suspicious if you're a person. Everyone has a little problem, as long as it doesn't hurt the major and doesn't harm our great interests, then it's not a big deal, so don't take it too seriously. This small amount of money is nothing compared to our family's income over the past few years."

Even so, just think about it, it's 40 taels of silver! 40 taels, enough for the rich man in the village to marry two daughters!Huang was still a little unhappy.

Su Ran knew that she would not be able to turn this corner for a while, so she persuaded Huang Shi a few more words, and at least told her to promise not to pursue this matter further, and the mother and daughter went back to their houses.

When the fact that she was greedy for 40 taels of silver was found out, Sister Liu was in a panic, and her heart was still beating when she returned to the room.But slowly she discovered that Su Ran really kept his word, as if nothing had happened, and didn't mention a word about related things.

Although Huang's eyes became sharper when she looked at her, and her demeanor was somewhat defensive, she didn't say anything.Not to mention the rest of the family, the big guys still live their lives as they please.After the new year, Su Ran still gave her all the things she was responsible for before, and didn't mean to take back the rights at all.

Sister Liu was immediately overwhelmed with emotion, and at the same time she secretly swore in her heart - since her cousin is so kind to her, then she must do a good job in the future to repay her trust!As for the future... Well, every time she does something again, she will still deduct a little money for her own personal money, but definitely not too much... definitely not as much as before!
The family here continues to live their lives in an orderly manner.After the fifteenth day, the bricklayers and masons returned to their positions, and everyone continued to repair Brother Quan's new house.The inn in the village finally got permission from the county magistrate, and broke ground at the village head.

Since the inn broke ground, people from the village gathered here to see the inn, gossip, and exchange new gossip with each other. The days have become more and more lively and interesting.

On this day, everyone gathered at the entrance of the inn as usual.While talking and laughing, suddenly a kid came over from the outside: "It's bad, it's bad! Everyone, go to the town to see, something serious happened, someone was fighting, beating... killing people!"
