pastoral wedding

Chapter 58
After Mrs. Lu finished steaming the egg custard, he took it to the yard to beat Brother Fashuo to eat, and then went into Mrs. Lu's room by himself.Seeing that the midwife had already left, she asked with a straight face, "What do you plan to do? Are you really going to sell this child?"

Little Lu looked up at her mother-in-law's face, but she didn't see any meaning, so she said cruelly: "Sell it, anyway, there is no shortage of girls at home, and I can sell it for 50 taels of silver. If I get pregnant again, I don't believe that I can't have a son."

Mrs. Lu snorted, with obvious displeasure on her face, "Well, it's up to you, I'll just wait to see when you can give me a grandson." Then he stood up and walked out, and when he reached the door At the time, he said as if venting: "I was blinded by so many supplements for nothing. If I knew it was a girl, I shouldn't have been born." Then he closed the door and left.It happened that as soon as I went out, I saw Su Qing sitting next to Brother Shuo eating his egg custard, and stepped forward to slap Su Qing on the back, "This is what you can eat. You don't do anything all day long, you just know how to eat it." , why not eat you to death!"

Little Lu couldn't hear what was said outside, and tears flowed down her cheeks.She remembered that her mother had told her before she got married that her aunt liked boys and told her to give birth to a child for Su Wenhai no matter what. At the beginning, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that Mrs. Lu was her aunt. Are those wicked mother-in-laws trying to make things difficult for me?When Mei girl and Qing girl were born earlier, although the mother-in-law was not very willing, she didn't say much. This time, who would have thought that the mother-in-law would react so violently.Thinking of this, she lowered her head and glanced at the child who was trying hard to push her chest with her small mouth. She immediately felt a little disgusted, closed her eyes and sighed, just pretend that we don't have this kind of mother-daughter fate.

Su Jin and Su Tang heard it naturally, and they both frowned, feeling sad in their hearts.Su Jin sighed, "Second Sister, I always feel that Second Aunt can't just sell this child, it's not a kitten or puppy, it's a real child, how could it be sold right after birth? It’s okay if it’s sold to a good family, but if the family is not kind, the child will be doomed for life.”

Su Shuang nodded, then shrugged her shoulders again, "Then what can we do? Let's leave the affairs of the Second Aunt's house alone, so as not to waste our efforts."

"No, I can't be cruel." No matter what Su Jin thinks about it, she can't be cruel. She feels uncomfortable when she thinks that the little baby in the room who doesn't know anything will be sold like this, "Second sister, why don't you take Qiuliang with you?" Go back to the town first and ask Cousin Yi to find someone to inquire about the Feng family and see what's going on. If it's really a good family, it's fine as the midwife said. If not, you can't let the second aunt mess."

Su Tang nodded, thinking in her heart that there are many children born to poor people who can't support them and sell them. She has seen it many times. Why is the little girl so excited, but seeing that Su Jin is serious, she didn't say anything , but asked: "What about you and Brother Shuo?"

"I want to stay and listen to the letter, but if I keep my grandmother, I will definitely not be happy, so I say Brother Shuo wants to stay for two days, and if the midwife doesn't come tomorrow, let him go back, anyway, he will go to school the day after tomorrow " Su Jin immediately made a decision, and immediately urged Da He and Qiu Liang to cook quickly.

Lunch is very simple, it is a cold cucumber, a loofah egg soup, and a large plate of small pickles. Anyway, the steamed buns are made of white flour. In addition, Su Jin asked Dahe and Qiuliang to stew chicken soup. Originally, the Lu family did not allow it, but I wanted to eat it. After thinking about it, she felt that Xiao Lu was also her niece, and she didn't want to do too much, so she didn't stop her.

After dinner, Su Tang took Qiu Liang and left. She was very happy that Brother Shuo could stay with Mrs. Lu, and enthusiastically said that Brother Shuo would sleep with her at night.Brother Shuo went to see his third sister with a face full of tears, and Su Jin comforted him: "Brother Shuo, just bear with it, don't you have the heart to see your little sister being sold by the second aunt like this? We have to wait The news about the second sister, you can't back down and drag the third sister back."

Brother Shuo is already nine years old and sensible, so Su Jin didn't want to hide it from him, so she told him the truth. She believed that Brother Shuo was a kind child and would not let him go.

Sure enough, brother Shuo nodded resolutely, "Don't worry, third sister, but you are sleeping with grandma. Grandma loves me so much. Since she wants me to accompany her, I will accompany her."

Su Jin patted his head in relief, and praised with a smile, "Brother Shuo, third sister loves you so much, after finishing this matter, third sister will ask parents to find you a teacher who can teach martial arts ,OK?"

Brother Shuo immediately jumped up, clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, thank you third sister, third sister, I love you too much!" A very happy smile.On the side, Da He saw eyes full of envy, thinking that he and Xiao He had been displaced since they were young, and now they have finally settled down, and it's great that the two sisters can serve the master together.

The next day the midwife really came again and tiptoed into Xiao Lu's room.Su Jin was looking at Su Ran's embroidered handkerchief in the room, and couldn't help poking her head out when she saw this, Su Ran gave a light 'chick' when she saw it, "What's so interesting, although people like the second sister-in-law are usually not very reliable. It’s not too far off the mark, but it’s not too far off the mark, and now I’m earning money by selling children.” After saying that, he shook his head.

After hearing this, Su Jin knew that she knew some inside information, so she hurriedly asked tentatively, "Little aunt, is Second Aunt really going to sell my little sister?"

"What do you think?" Su Ran folded the handkerchief she had just embroidered and put it aside, then took a look at her unfinished wedding dress, carefully touched the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, satisfied He nodded and smiled, "I heard from my mother that the Feng family can give 50 taels of silver, and the second sister-in-law is looking forward to giving birth to a son for the second brother so that he can accept the second brother's heart. This girl is very serious, so she just won't sell it I won’t treat her well in the future, not to mention Mei girl, you only look at Qing girl, who is only nine years old, and brother Shuo is also nine years old, the treatment is not a bit worse."

This is the truth, Su Jin asked again with a smile, "Little aunt, do you know what kind of family the Feng family is?"

Su Ran seemed to have heard something, and looked up at her in surprise, "Why are you so curious about this matter? Let me tell you, you don't care about your second uncle's affairs, you can't do it."

Su Jin nodded and didn't speak any more. She looked at the willow branches blowing in the wind in a daze. It wasn't that she wanted to meddle in other people's business, but that she couldn't bear it if she didn't care. In her previous life, she saw that her classmates and friends brought their children with them. , She also thought about having a child, preferably a daughter, who can help her comb her hair and put it into pigtails, and can also wear beautiful floral dresses for her, dress her up like a little princess, and give her all the beauty.So now seeing that the little sister born by the second aunt is so cute, she really can't just watch it being sold, she can't do it.

When the midwife came, I don't know what she said. When Da He said that she was going to deliver food to Xiao Lu, she vaguely looked like she was counting silver, so Su Zhen understood that this matter seemed to have been settled, but The midwife hasn't taken the baby away yet, I don't know why.

In the afternoon, Su Shuang came back, and Liu Yi was with her. The two looked serious, and when they got off the carriage, they pulled Su Jin aside to talk.

"Second Sister, Cousin Yi, how are you doing? Has the result been found?"

Su Shuang shook her head and said nothing, then Liu Yi explained, "I asked my buddy to find out. There really is a surname Feng who owns a grocery store in the town. I don't know if it is the one you mentioned." Jin looked at him eagerly, and continued, "The Feng family has been running a grocery store in the town for more than ten years, but I inquired as soon as I inquired. There are three sons in his family, the eldest is already twelve, and the two younger One is seven years old and the other is four years old. What I told you can be correct, but the four-year-old son is not in good health. He said it was a problem brought out of the womb. His mind is not normal. The guy who asked the letter said Well, the Feng family once privately told the neighbors that they wanted to find a child bride-in-law for their son, but the neighbors secretly said that any family would be willing to give their good girl to her stupid son. As for his family, is it because of this? Buying the little girl from the second aunt's family, that's unknown."

If it was really the Feng family who wanted to buy a child in order to raise a child and a daughter-in-law for their son, it would be really unreasonable, but how would they know what was going on?No matter if you ask grandma or second aunt and sister Mei, they won't tell themselves.

"It's not easy." Su Shuang chuckled, "When the midwife comes, you wait, I will definitely ask you."

Su Jin glanced at the second sister and smiled, "It's up to you."

Who would have thought that the midwife didn't come over until evening, and there was another woman who came with her, presumably it belonged to the Feng family.Not long after, the light was turned on in Xiao Lu's house, and the door was fumbled inside. Su Wenhai was not at home, and it was Su Mei who opened the door.I saw her standing quietly at the door in thin clothes, with thick black braids hanging down her chest, and she couldn't see the expression on her face, "You are here, my sister is already asleep, please take her away."

Hearing these words being said so calmly by her, Su Jin was a little astonished. At first, she just thought that her cousin was a little cynical, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel, and Su Jin's heart turned cold again.

The night was pitch black, there was no moon and only a few stars were blinking. The wind in the night was still cold, and it blew through people's skin and made a layer of pimples.Su Jin touched her arm, and suddenly raised her head, just in time to see a person standing at the door of her grandmother's house, who looked exactly like Mrs. Lu, could she still not bear it?But seeing that the Feng family had already picked up the child, Mrs. Lu still didn't move.
