six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 82
"Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Chen was startled at first, and then sneered, "That's really retribution, heh, I'll go and offer incense to Mrs. Lu."

She took two steps hastily, as if remembering something, she said to Ning Guang: "Ning Guang, keep a whole chicken, I will steam a whole one, worship God today."

Ning Guang complied, while Su Liu burst out laughing, thinking, the Chen family doesn't have buns anymore, and even has a hard heart, which shows how restrained and depressed he was in the past.

"Aren't you afraid that the woman's pregnancy will be unsafe and she will rely on you?" Seeing her pursed smile, Ning Guang couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"You forgot, I'm a haunted house here." Su Liu smiled slyly, and said, "It's against some people, so what's the matter with me." Even so, she still has to do something to make them feel safe. A scruple.

Although Zhou's fetus was red, it was still saved, but he had to take the anti-fetal medicine for a month, and he had to lie quietly on the bed without working hard, otherwise the fetus might not be safe.

At the same time, some rumors spread in Da'ao Village, saying that the people from the old house of the Su family had an affair with Su Liu and the others, and that Zhou's went over to attack Mrs. Lu for no reason, otherwise he would have become popular.

Hearing this rumor, Mrs. Huang was taken aback for a moment, and then scolded Mrs. Zhou, because Mrs. Zhou spent a lot of money to protect her pregnancy, and she got nothing from going to Suliu, only a scare meal. He also lost the heart of his old daughter, really lost his wife and lost his army.

Mrs. Huang hated Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter very much, because Mrs. Zhou could not get out of bed, so she could force Su Chuntao to do the work. Su Chuntao washed her face with tears every day watching her hands that were no longer white and tender.

In addition, Huang's heart was also worried, and half of them thought that he had bumped into something bad. For a while, he didn't dare to go to Su Liu and the others to make trouble, and he didn't allow Su Jinfeng to go, for fear of bumping into him again. It's dead.

Regarding the commotion in the Su family's old house, Su Liu and the others' small courtyard was very peaceful. They planned to build the courtyard wall, and Ning Guang took the lead in building it the next day.

Su Liu's house and the vegetable field are one-third of an acre. It would be unrealistic to enclose them all, and it would take a lot of effort, so they planned to enclose the front yard and the backyard livestock pens, and open a gate for each. The door of the backyard can directly lead to the vegetable field.

Most of the courtyard walls of peasant households are built with fence bamboo wood and mud bricks, and they are also built with stones. The courtyard walls of the old Su family house are made of stones and mud bricks.

Now that stones are hard to find, Su Liu decided to use only mud bricks to make the base higher, and put some thorns and thorns in the corners of the courtyard, and it would be done.

To build the courtyard wall, Ning Guang alone would not be able to do it, so Su Liu found a few strong men to work with him, and gave six copper coins a day, and also took care of one lunch, and started working after buying materials.

After the work started, Su Liu thought about how to get rid of the livestock pens too, so that they could raise some chickens, rabbits and piglets.

Because she had to take care of the food, Chen couldn't go to the stall, so Su Liu simply let her cook at home, and she and Su Xiao and the two sisters went to the stall, even so, they were too busy.

"Sister, today's business is better than yesterday's." Su Xiao took a breath, put the steamed stuffed bun on the table, and said, counting the coins in his pocket.

The stall of Xiaoliu Baodian is already on track, and the business is gradually not as prosperous as when it first opened, so Su Liu has been busy thinking about new varieties in the past two days.

If the business wants to prosper, it must introduce the old and bring forth the new, and if only one is guarded, then no matter how prosperous it is, it will not go anywhere.

"You ate and counted before you touched the money and then the buns. It's not clean." Su Liu gave her a look, but the girl always refused to listen.

Su Xiao heard a lot of hygienic and other things from her sister, so she knew it naturally, stuck out her tongue, walked to the side of the sink to wash her hands, and said with a smile: "I washed my hands, is it done?" Said Holding up two chicken paws, she turned her head and saw a ragged little beggar reached out and touched the steamed stuffed bun she had put on the table and ran away, yelling, "Thief, you thief."

Su Xiao ran after her.

Su Liu was taken aback, and called out a few times, Su Xiao quickly turned a corner and disappeared.

Su Liu knew that there was a gang of beggars in the town, and she was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would suffer a loss. She was in a hurry and couldn't leave the stall. When she happened to see Qingji's boy passing by, she hurriedly asked him to help take care of the stall, and then she chased after him. go up.

"Xiaoxiao." Panting, Su Liu chased after a ruined temple, and when she saw Su Xiaozhan standing in front of the temple with her on her back, she called out.

Su Xiao didn't respond at all, so Su Liu had no choice but to step forward and tug her, but was stunned, and said, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that her face was full of tears, she looked straight ahead, and when she heard Su Liu's cry, she sobbed, "Sister."

Su Liu followed her gaze, but it was the little beggar who stole the bun just now, kneeling in front of a pile of rotten hay, holding the bitten bun with his dark hands, lying on the hay in front of her. A similarly dirty woman on the table handed it over: "Mom, here comes the steamed stuffed bun, you can have a taste."

As he spoke, he handed the bun to the woman's mouth, but the woman didn't move at all, she just murmured, looking at the little beggar in front of her, tears streaming down her face.

Su Liu only felt a pain in her heart, and walked over involuntarily. The woman seemed to feel someone approaching, and looked over with difficulty.

With just one glance, Su Liu knew that the woman in front of her was about to pass away soon, her eyes were already a little loose, and she couldn't speak.

"Mother, you can eat it." The little beggar stuffed the bun into the woman's mouth, and said in a trembling voice, "It's white bread, mother. It's very fragrant, and many people like to eat it."

The woman blinked, and her gaze moved to the little beggar's face again, that glance made Su Liu's eye circles turn red.

What kind of look is that?It is resentment towards the world.It's pity for the little beggar in front of me, and it's a mother's reluctance to part with her own flesh and blood.

The little beggar was still talking non-stop, and even tore a little bit of bun with his dark hands and stuffed it into the woman's mouth, but the woman only moved, but couldn't swallow it.

"Mother, you eat, you will be well after eating, mother." The little beggar finally couldn't help crying.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao covered her mouth and sobbed.

Su Liu pursed her lips, looked left and right, saw a broken cup under the corner of the ruined temple wall, walked over to it, filled with water from the eaves, picked it up, went to the woman, helped her to feed some water .

It's a pity that the water can't be fed in. There is still something unclear about this situation, Su Xiao ran out crying.

Su Liu had no choice but to say to the little beggar: "You, if you have something to say, speak up, she is dying soon."

The little beggar turned a deaf ear to it, and just insisted on tearing the buns and feeding them to the woman little by little. He even picked up the broken cup and fed it mouth to mouth to the woman.

Seeing this, Su Liu sighed, stood up and wanted to go out, but met the woman's eyes, and there were pleading and despair in those eyes.

Finally couldn't stand it anymore, Su Liu strode out, Su Xiao squatted aside and cried, she hugged her, Su Xiao wowed: "Sister, is she going to die?"

Before Su Liu could answer, there was a loud cry from inside the ruined temple. She raised her head, hugged Su Xiao tightly, and sighed silently, life is always fragile, I hope she will go well all the way.

The crying in the ruined temple gradually subsided, Su Liu finally sighed, and asked Su Xiaoxian to go back to the stall to take care of it, while she went to see if there was anything she could do to help the little beggar.

Su Liu is the eldest sister, and Su Xiao can only listen, so she gave her all the money in his pocket, and walked away sobbing.

Walking into the ruined temple again, Su Xiao was stunned again when he saw the scene in front of him, heartbroken.

The woman's eyes were wide open, looking at a certain direction in the sky, the unwillingness and reluctance inside seemed to have not dissipated.And the little beggar dipped the corner of his clothes into the water in the broken cup and wiped the woman's face, but he didn't cry anymore.

Su Liu wanted to say something, but felt that what she said was powerless, and seeing the little beggar stretched out his hand to cover his mother's eyes, she couldn't help shaking her head.

The little beggar was so thin that he couldn't tell his age, and his hair and face were dirty and black, so he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Su Liu is not a very rich person, and the stall she runs is also a small business, so she can't help a person who has never lived, like those TV dramas and novels say. .

But since I met him, and with such a background, I couldn't turn a blind eye to it, so I just left.

"I don't have much money to buy you a good coffin or something. There is a yizhuang in the western suburbs of the town. You can send your mother there. There must be a shelter, and you won't be left alone. Damn." Su Liu said warmly.

The little beggar didn't say a word, he still wiped the woman's face with the corner of his clothes that was soaked in water, he didn't know if he heard Su Liu's words.

Seeing this, Su Liu let out a long sigh, and took out the money on her body. After a rough look, it looked like it was close to a bag of money, so she counted half of it, and said: "Here is how much money, you take it, and quickly send her to Otherwise, when those beggars come back later, maybe they will spoil you in some way." He said and put the little money at the little beggar's feet.

Su Liu didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he kept his movements and didn't speak. Su Liu thought about it, looked at his body again, and got an idea in his mind.

She glanced at the woman whose half face was wiped clean, froze for a moment, then looked away and walked out.

Although the clean face of the woman has turned pale, it can still be seen that she was originally a person with fair skin. I don't know why this situation has been achieved. In general, there are too many poor people in this world.

After leaving the ruined temple, she walked towards the western suburbs again, searched for the Yi Zhuang, found the clerk who was in charge of the Yi Zhuang, gave him all the remaining money, gave an order, and left.

She helped everything she could. As for what the little beggar will do in the future, it depends on his own luck.

Back at the stall, Su Xiao sat at the table blankly with red eyes, saw her come back, stood up hurriedly, hesitated to speak.

Su Liu patted her head with a smile, and said, "My sister has made all the arrangements."

"That man, so pitiful." Su Xiao pursed her lips, tears were about to fall again.

Su Liu took her hand and sat down, said in a low voice, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal things, and life is impermanent, so let's take it easy."

In this day and age, not to mention such down-and-out people, even women who give birth to children, there are many people who die because of this, which is unavoidable.

"Cherish the person in front of you." Su Liu murmured.

The two sisters closed the stall and went back. Seeing the sleepy look of the two, Mrs. Chen couldn't help asking carefully.

Su Xiao couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself on Mrs. Chen and talked about the day's affairs, and cried again.

Holding her little daughter in her arms, Mrs. Chen let out a long sigh and said, "You are also a poor person."

Su Liu then said that today's silver was given to Xiao Ban to help the little beggar, Chen nodded repeatedly, and said: "You are very right, we are not very rich, since we have met, if we can help, we can help you." Help me, it's a blessing."

The mother and daughter sighed again, feeling a little depressed, so Su Liu changed the topic and talked around the courtyard wall built at home.
