six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 72
"Mother, my life is so miserable!" Su Chuntao burst into tears and threw herself into Zhou's arms.

"What's the matter? Tao, tell your mother."

Su Chuntao could only shake her head, thinking of Song Xiao's rich attire and that charming handsome face, her heart was pounding, and she choked up, "Mother, why didn't I go to a rich family?"

Zhou's face turned dark, and the hand holding her froze. Su Chuntao realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly said: "Mother, you are the shopkeeper's daughter, why did you come to this house? The color of a mother is worthy of being everyone's grandma."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou turned pale.

Su Chuntao glanced secretly, and took a deep breath, but thinking of her own life experience, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. If she was a young lady, she would be suitable for someone like Song Xiao, right?

"Tell me, how did you sing it?" After all, Zhou didn't blame her for her own daughter, and only asked in a soft voice.

Su Chuntao sat up straight, wiped away tears, and said, "Mother, it's amazing, Su Liu and her family actually have a man."

As he said that, Su Chuntao told in detail how he met Song Xiao and saw Ning Guang at Su Liu's place.

Although Ning Guang was not as good-looking as Song Xiao, but judging by his appearance, he was much better-looking and decent than ordinary men in the village, and he could be called handsome.

However, one is handsome, the other is handsome, two people with completely different temperaments, but both of them make the wife happy. Now they all appear in Su Liu's house, and they seem to be very familiar with each other. Isn't Chuntao jealous?
"Is what you said true?" Zhou was also surprised.

Su Chuntao nodded and said, "I don't know who that person is, but he also helped Su Liu and the others chop firewood!"

Zhou Shi pursed her lips, first sneered, and seeing her daughter's obsessed face, her heart moved, and she asked, "Then what Mr. Song is so good-looking?"

Su Chuntao blushed, a little shy, twisted and said: "Mother, that's really a big, handsome fairy."

"Hey, Taoer in our family is rare?" Seeing her like that, Mrs. Zhou joked.

"Mother!" Su Chuntao shyly pushed her coquettishly, then lowered her head and said, "If, if I can marry such a son, my daughter, my daughter is willing to die."

Su Chuntao's heart is higher than the sky, how can a mother not know, after hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhou said: "From this point of view, that Mr. Song is really amazing, can you find out where he came from?"

Su Chuntao's face darkened, she shook her head, bit her lip and said, "No way! But looking at his body, he is definitely not from an ordinary family."

"Yeah!" Mrs. Zhou nodded. Su Chuntao couldn't be from a farming family to make such an evaluation.

"In this way, they are quite capable. Could it be that the two people you mentioned helped open that stall?" Mrs. Zhou thought of Su Liu and the others' bakery stall.

"Nine times out of ten it is." Su Chuntao curled her lips, and snorted coldly: "The mother and daughter are born with a vicious look, hmph, they are used to acting, and only a person like Mr. Song who has no intentions is caught by them." Appearances are deceiving."

His tone was sour, full of disdain, but he said that the grapes were sour.

Mrs. Zhou was about to speak when Su Changsheng lifted the curtain and walked in, saying, "Who deceived this?"

Su Chuntao stood up and was about to answer, but Zhou gave her a light tug, winked, and shook her head.

Mrs. Zhou poured him a bowl of tea and asked, "Has the millet been harvested?"

Su Changsheng hummed, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, beat his waist and said, "It's all in the warehouse. Fortunately, just as I entered the warehouse, a few drops of drizzle fell. Dad said, tomorrow It might rain heavily."

During the summer harvest, the villagers would dry the grain as soon as they harvested it. Today, all the Su family's grain has been dried and stored in the warehouse, so Su Changsheng also let out a sigh of relief. The exhausting summer harvest is finally over.

"Just now, what did you say to deceive or not?" He took another sip of tea and asked after recovering.

"It's nothing, Cai'er Tao'er said, it's so lively in Bei'aozi. I didn't know that they are so popular, men go to that house one by one to help." Zhou pretended to be relaxed. , but looked at Su Changsheng's face and said: "Speaking of which, Su Liu is fourteen today, so she must be in a hurry."

Su Changsheng's face darkened when he heard that, he put down the tea bowl in his hand heavily, and looked at Zhou Shi: "What do you mean?"

"Don't be annoyed, it's nothing else, after all, the girl should marry. It's a pity, you are the real father, and you should be in charge of the marriage. If you marry a poor man, I'm afraid the dowry will be worthless." Can't take it out."

Seeing Su Changsheng's face turned dark, Zhou patted his face as if nothing had happened, and sneered in his heart, Chen wants his daughter to marry a wealthy family, don't even think about it!Su Liu, that little bitch, deserves to marry an old and disabled old man. She has been oppressed for so many years, and she will never let them have a good time.

In Bei'aozi, a candle light appears in the darkness, which is particularly abrupt and peaceful in the vast wilderness.

In the room, there were several people around a square table, Song Xiao ate his food, and his chopsticks stretched towards the plate of stewed chicken with mushrooms in the middle of the table.

Su Xiao frowned, blocked it with chopsticks without even thinking about it, and said: "Hey, I said, have you never eaten meat in your previous life? Just staring at this plate of chicken and eating chopsticks, my mother and the others didn't eat meat. How much do you want to eat?" As she spoke, she moved the plate to Ning Guang and said with a smile, "Brother Ning, you put in a lot of effort today, so eat a few more."

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Xiao Xiao, don't be rude." He moved the chicken again, and said to Song Xiao apologetically, "Mr. Song, she hasn't seen anything in the world, so don't blame her."

The visitor is a guest, and hearing from Su Liu that this person seems to have a special status, Mrs. Chen is naturally respectful.What's more, Song Xiao's mouth is really sweet, no one doesn't like hearing good things, Chen's is no exception, she is also very happy when Song Xiao coaxes her.

"Mom!" Su Xiao was a little confused, and gave Song Xiao a sneaky look, this sissy who doesn't know where, just eats.

Song Xiao glanced at the chicken bones in front of his bowl, then looked at Chen's and the others, feeling a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "Auntie's food is delicious, I'm so hungry."

Ning Guang snorted and glanced at him inexplicably.

Song Xiao and him looked at each other, and raised their chins proudly, Ning Guang's face became even darker.

Seeing this, Su Liu picked up the rice grains in the bowl one by one, thoughtfully, it seems that these two people had a lot of festivals, when did they fight each other?

"Ning Guang, thanks to having you here today." Mrs. Chen put a piece of chicken in Ning Guang's bowl, and said with lingering fear: "If not, the two sisters really don't know what will happen."

What happened during the day, Su Xiaona, who couldn't hide her words, had already told Mrs. Chen, and they all worshiped Ning Guang with reverence.

Ning Guang was a little embarrassed, and when everyone thought he would not answer, he said: "In the future, I will go to the stall to help if I have nothing to do."

Su Liu and the others were taken aback for a moment, but Su Xiao clapped his hands and said, "That's good, with Brother Ning here, we won't be afraid of those who come to make trouble."

Song Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, and said: "I've heard about that thorny chapter, but it's just because of my cousin who works as an servant in Zhou's mansion. I'll send someone to beat him tomorrow."

Su Xiaowen glanced at him, and said: "You have such a body, and you have this face, so don't be caught instead."

"Little." Su Liu reprimanded lightly, with a tone of disapproval.

Su Xiao stuck out her tongue, and lowered her head to pick up the rice.

"What are Mr. Song's plans after dinner?" Seeing Song Xiao's expression turned ugly, Su Liu changed the subject and asked.

Song Xiao's chopsticks stopped, everyone looked at him, and couldn't help saying: "It's getting late, I..."

"It's inconvenient for us to keep you here." Su Liu interrupted righteously.

Although she was doing well and standing upright, she really didn't dare to keep Song Xiao at their house overnight. After all, they were all women and children, and they didn't have a man in the family. Their fame is over.

Song Xiao also knew that it was not easy to force. Before coming here, he never thought that Su Liu and the others were mother and daughter living together alone. It was only during the conversation that he found out that the Chen family had brought Su Liu and Li out alone.

Thinking of this, he gave a wry smile and said, "I have to drive to the town all night."

Seeing his poor man, Chen couldn't help feeling compassionate, the country people are always hospitable, it's inconvenient for them to be women and children, but Ning Guang is a man, and said: "It's really not good to drive at night today, Ning Guang , how about letting him go to your place for one night?"

Ning Guang and Song Xiao subconsciously said no, they looked at each other, their eyes met in the air, as if sparks were buzzing.

"Auntie, it's actually not that late. There's nothing wrong with this day. Speaking of which, there are still krathongs in the counties and prefectural capitals. I'll go to the town and stay in an inn." Song Xiao laughed.

What he said is not bad. It is a common practice to light up lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Not to mention county capitals, there are also lanterns on the Henghe River in Baise Town to commemorate the ancestors or make wishes. It's just that farmers have many scruples , It’s not easy to walk around at night.

"This is impossible." Chen frowned immediately after hearing this, and said, "It's difficult to travel at night, if something goes wrong, what's the big deal?"

"Mr. Song thinks he has a plan, so Auntie doesn't need to worry." Ning Guang, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly.

Song Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "No, no matter how bad it is, I can go to Brother Ning's house to bother you all night."

Ning Guang looked over and saw Song Xiao acted like, if you don't agree, I'll just live here, snorted, and didn't speak any more.

Su Liu looked at it clearly, and said: "Mother, they are already so big, can they still disappear? It's not a girl's house, eat quickly, or they will be cold."

At this point, Mrs. Chen couldn't say anything more, so she just picked up the bowl silently.

With a muffled bang, Ning Guang threw a mat on the ground and said, "The humble house is simple, so I must wrong Young Master Song."

Song Xiao glanced at the broken mat on the ground, twitched the corners of his mouth, and forcibly resisted not leaving.

Ning Guang saw it clearly, and said with a sneer: "Young Master Song is a noble man, if you are not used to sleeping on the floor, you don't have to force him to stay. Turn left from this house, and you will go down the mountain road. If you want to come, you can find someone to stay."

Can't resist Chen Shi and Su Liu's request, Ning Guang brought Song Xiao back after all, just thinking about it makes him feel ridiculous, they only fought against each other during the day, and now they live in the same room, it's very dramatic.

Song Xiao looked at Ning Guang with a half-smile, and said: "Brother Ning can live here, how can I not live there? Brother Ning is hiding his secrets, what is his identity, it makes people want to find out!"

At this time, Song Xiao no longer had the look of pretending to be silly and flirtatious to Mrs. Chen at Su Liu's house, his handsome face was full of exploration and speculation.

Regarding his vague temptation, Ning Guang only sneered, and said: "Then you can explore." After finishing speaking, he ignored Song Xiao, and lay down and fell asleep with his back on his back.
