six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 66 Rumors
Mrs. Zhou dismissed it, and said: "You are also a picture, you met today, how is the stall?" Seeing Su Changsheng's confused face, he couldn't help but said: "How is the business?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Su Changsheng's mind, and he said, "Don't tell me, even though it's just selling steamed buns, I see that there are quite a lot of patrons."

"That's not counting. I heard that there are two yuan for one and five yuan for three. You can do the math. If you sell a hundred or two hundred a day, how much money will you get?" Zhou's eyes were shining brightly. .

Su Changsheng was not a fool either, so he would naturally calculate this number. After hearing this, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

"Chen's reconciled with you, but Su Liu and the other two sisters are your daughters after all. How can the daughter's family show their faces? Do you want to get married now? As a father, it is only right and proper to help run the stall. business." Zhou also said greedily: "You take over that stall and let them make buns, isn't that money all ours?"

If Su Liu was here, he would really laugh at Mrs. Zhou's naive thinking. If you want to take over, will they let you take over?Will make buns for you obediently, and then you collect money?When all the people in the world are fools, you, Mrs. Zhou, are the only ones who are smart?
"You're right, I'm her father, and what's hers is mine. Even if I take the stall, it's the same." Su Changsheng slapped his thigh and said.

"However, I'm afraid they won't give it." Zhou thought for a while, then said: "Forcing is not acceptable."

"I'm their father, what's wrong with that?"

Mrs. Zhou clicked her tongue, and said, "Su Liu is paying more attention now, if he gets in a hurry, he will just shoot and break up, and the loss outweighs the gain."

"How about that?"

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "Actually, a stall can't earn much money, and the place is small. Or, go ask for the recipe for making buns, and let's open a small shop? A shop like Zhang Ji."

Su Changsheng was a little hesitant, and said, "How can we have any money to open a shop? It's all saved in mother's hands."

Mentioning this, Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth with hatred, and said, "Persuade my mother to bring out the money. How can farming make a big difference? If you don't do business, where can you get the money? The spring peaches are all grown up, and the future dowry will not be available. Well, there is Jin Quan, who is going to take the exam for Tongsheng, and he has to take care of everything."

Seeing that Su Changsheng was still hesitant, Zhou said again: "It's not that I said mother, our children are already grown up, and I have another one in my stomach, so there is a lot of money to spend! You have to do it for me too." Let's think about it, we always hand over the money, but in the future, we don't know how much will be distributed to us?" She muttered again that mother loves Fusheng and them the most.

Su Changsheng was a little bit dissatisfied. Everyone knows Huang's partiality. According to Zhou's words, the family will be separated in the future. I'm afraid they don't have many houses, and Zhou's words are that you earn more money, which makes him even more angry. Not even up.

Seeing that Su Changsheng was moved, Zhou said again: "If Second Uncle marries a wife, the family will win sooner or later. Su Lang, if we don't plan to get up early, what will we do in the future?"

"Well, what you said is also right." Su Changsheng pondered.

"Besides, let me explain it to my mother. Is it true that mother is not rare in money? One bun is two taels of silver, and a thousand buns are worth two taels of silver. Two taels of silver a day, even a fool can count this amount." Mrs. Zhou He lowered his voice and said: "When the time comes, you will be in charge of the shop, and you will have the final say on how many buns you sell?"

The more Su Changsheng listened to it, the more he felt that it was feasible. Isn't it better to be the boss than to be the manager?

"It's up to you. I'll let them copy the prescription for me."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly grabbed him, and said: "Don't worry, the most urgent thing is to coax Su Liu and the others, don't get angry with them anymore, wait until you get the steamed stuffed bun recipe, and they won't be too late .”

Su Changsheng was a little displeased when he heard this, so he has to be coaxed?He is their father, if he asks for it, they should obediently offer it with both hands.

Seeing his expression, Zhou knew what he was thinking, and said, "Do you still want money?"

Su Changsheng was a little impatient, and said: "It's done, I've got a sense of proportion, you just rest, I'll go wash my face." After saying that, he hurried out.

Zhou gritted her teeth angrily, and when she saw him go out, she punched the quilt resentfully.

Zhou's and Su Changsheng's secret schemes, Su Liu and the others were totally unaware of it, but they heard about the small courtyard of the Su family from a good person, but they just laughed it off, and they closed the door to live their own lives.

Just like in the past, after leaving Sun Xiucai's house, he still walked around Da'ao Village and went back to Bei'aozi, but he didn't expect to meet Mr. Su.

"Old man." Su Liu saluted lightly, not being rude, but not being respectful either, his attitude was just towards an ordinary elder.

When Mr. Su saw her, he felt a little uncomfortable, his eyes were complicated, and he said, "It's Liu'er, how are you doing?"

"pretty good."

Her tone was cold and alienated. Mr. Su frowned. He felt that he had nothing to say for a moment. He thought for a while and said, "If you have time, come and sit at home. After all, it is your home. Even if you follow your mother, don't want to give birth." separated."

Su Liu raised her eyelids, but didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, old man Su was a little displeased, thinking that this granddaughter would not be very close after all, so he said a few words casually, and then left.

There was a trace of sneer at the corner of Su Liu's mouth, but he didn't take it seriously, and went straight home, only to see Mrs. Chen playing with ingots, candles, incense sticks and other things.

"Mother, how did you get this?" Su Liu stepped forward to help fold the ingot.

Chen was slightly annoyed, and said: "You girl, you don't know that Menglan Festival will be in two days?"

"That's right, sister, it's your birthday tomorrow!" Su Xiao came over holding a basket of tung oil leaves.

Su Liu suddenly realized that July [-]th is the Menglan Festival, which is the Ghost Festival, and July [-]th is her birthday.

"I'm so busy these days, I actually forgot to look up the almanac." Su Liu scratched her head and smiled embarrassingly.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "Tomorrow we will close the stall early, so we can celebrate it for you."

"Yes, let's buy meat." Su Xiao's eyes lit up.

"You're gluttonous, you're a foodie." Su Liu pinched her face, and these days since she left the Su family, although they are not big fish and meat, but under Su Liu's insistence, they always see some people at the dinner table. As for the fleshy star, Su Xiao's face grew some flesh.

Su Xiao giggled, but Chen Shi said: "All these years, you haven't had a good birthday, cook something delicious tomorrow, and now we don't lack that money."

Regarding the birthday, Su Liu actually didn't care much about it, but hearing Chen's tone was quite apologetic, even a little sad, she pretended to smile and said: "Listen, mother is not short of money now, but it is tight."

Being teased by her, Mrs. Chen laughed, pointed at her and said, "You stalker."

Su Liu smiled, and said again: "I'll go to the field to have a look, and I'll cook later." Then she took a bucket.

"Sister, I've already watered it, don't water it anymore." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Liu agreed, put down the bucket again, and walked around the house to the vegetable field at home.

Their family has one-third of an acre of land, two houses with a latrine, and a livestock pen, which only occupy a quarter of the land, and they have opened up the rest of the land.

Their place is rather biased, even the land next to it is barren sandy land and seems to be unowned, so Su Liu planned to buy all the land next to her when she had money.

Now the back of their house has been tidied up and made into rows of ridges, and small sharp vegetable seedlings have sprouted out, and because Su Xiao has watered the ground, the ground is still wet.

However, Su Liu went straight to the tomato field that she had transplanted, squatted down, and looked at it carefully, and saw that the leaves were all green, without any signs of dilapidation, as if they had taken root.

On the tomato tree, there were five or six tomatoes the size of a newborn baby's fist, and one of them was green with a little yellowish color, which looked like it was about to be ripe.

Thinking of what she saw in her previous life, Su Liu found two bamboo branches to build a frame, and let the tomato vines grow along the bamboo frame. When it was done, the sun had already set, but she saw Ning Guang walking from the other side of the field.

Su Liu stood up, Ning Guang had come to help them repair the yard at this hour as early as these days, and it had already been repaired, why did he come at this time?
"Why are you here?" She greeted her with a smile.

Ning Guang handed over the basket in his hand, Su Liu took it and saw that there were two rabbits, one white and one gray.

"Oh, how did this come about?" she asked in amazement.

"Don't you want it?" Ning Guang answered irrelevantly, and said indifferently, "I caught it on the mountain today."

Su Liu raised her eyebrows. She really wanted two rabbits. The rabbit she hunted earlier was intended to be raised as a breeding rabbit, but many things happened again, and the rabbit died in the end.

She was very sorry that she also accidentally mentioned to Ning Guang that she wanted two raw rabbits these days, but he remembered it unexpectedly.

Su Liu frowned in her heart, and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to remember."

Ning Guang was a little uncomfortable, his ears were slightly red, and he didn't know how to put his hands, so he just hummed softly.

After getting along for so many days, Su Liu naturally knew that he was thin-skinned, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I won't say thank you. Tomorrow is my birthday, and my mother said to make some delicious food. It's too late for you." Let's have dinner together."

Ning Guang was taken aback for a while before he hummed.

The two of them were quiet for a while, having nothing to say, Su Liu thought that he was really bored.

"What do you want?" Ning Guang asked suddenly.

"What?" Su Liu was teasing the two rabbits in the basket without raising her head.

"Birthday gift, what do you want?"

Su Liu was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head, glanced at him, then smiled and said, "No need." She raised the basket in her hand again and said, "Isn't this a gift?"

Ning Guang frowned, and was about to say something, but suddenly took two steps back and looked at one point.

Su Liu didn't understand, so following his gaze, she saw a woman carrying a burden, standing on tiptoe and looking this way with her neck stretched.

Ning Guang seemed a little annoyed, and said, "I'll go back first."

Su Liu groaned, blinked, and looked at the woman again, and suddenly understood.

It seems that Ning Guang pays more attention to reputation than her. Although in the countryside, the contact between men and women is not like the women and children in the big families in the city. When seeing a stranger, you have to use a curtain. If you have to meet, you must have a third person present , otherwise, it's a great defense, and it will damage the reputation and innocence of the boudoir.

But the identities of Su Liu and their mother and daughter are already embarrassing, and they are already attracting attention, so, having a foreigner with them can't help but make people daydream.

Now someone saw her talking with a man, it seems that tomorrow, there will be rumors in the village about how she is like this.

Su Liu frowned, this is also a trouble, it seems that the matter with Ning Guang should be settled quickly, and it is justified, even if it is engaged first, there is still a fiancée's name, no one can say anything.

Su Liu's guess was right. On the second day, gossip spread in Da'ao Village. Su Liu had a friend, became Chen's, and became a mother and daughter. In short, there were all kinds of rumors. Very unbearable.
