The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 93
In the society at that time, especially for people in a small place like Shanxia Village, it was already a huge sum of money that they could not even think about.

As farmers who plan food in the soil, there are not many opportunities to see money throughout the year.In the daily life of common people, barter consumption is very common.

So Su Xiazhi was able to offer a salary of ten taels of silver for three years, which directly made Aunt Gao dizzy!
Until the evening, the yard of Min's house was quiet and no one knocked on the door.But as a neighbor, Su Xiazhi knew clearly that all the girls and daughters-in-law in the village went to Gao's house.

It's hard to find three-legged toads, but there are plenty of people with two legs. She doesn't have to worry about finding helpers. The biggest headache for her now is how to sell dried noodles.

When almost everyone in the village was half-believing in her words, she was also racking her brains to figure out the market.

After a seemingly peaceful day, there was a knock on the door of Min's courtyard.Su Xiazhi went to open the door with a faint smile as usual.

"Huh? Brother? They are?" To her surprise, the person standing on the steps was her elder brother Su Chunlai, and he was still holding two straps in his hand.

One end of the belt was tied around the necks of the two men, and the two men with bruised noses and blood-stained lips were tightly clutching their trouser waists with both hands!

Su Chunlai led the two men to the door.

Su Xiazhi stood at the gate of the yard and looked at the two men led by her elder brother. They were not from Xinghua Village, and she was even more curious, so she wanted to ask. When she saw that there were several spectators around the steps, she Shut up.

"Brother, come in for tea." Min Lansheng, who saw the situation outside the room, greeted him unhurriedly, and greeted Su Chun to come in and talk. There were so many people, the gate was really not a place to talk.

"Yeah." Su Chunlai nodded to his sister, and then tied two walking belts to the door knocker of Min's gate like a donkey, and strode into the yard with big strides.

"This..." The two men with bruised noses and swollen faces tied to the door don't look good, and it doesn't seem good to lead them into the yard. Su Xiazhi stood at the door thinking about it, then turned to Gao Yue who was watching the excitement with his job bowl. With a wave: "Gao Yue, don't eat!"

The ancients seldom called people by first and last names like Su Xiazhi. Most of them called each other's words or seniority plus honorific titles. Younger people would call each other by their rank in the family. Now she calls like this, in the ears of others It was more or less an order, so everyone turned their attention to her.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" The food in the rice bowl had already bottomed out, and Gao Yue ate it up in a few mouthfuls, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and squeezed up the steps.

Taking the bowls and chopsticks from his hand, Su Xiazhi pointed to the two people tied to the door: "Take these two people to the big elm tree, and help my sister-in-law to watch, don't let them untie the rope and run away. "

"This is fun!" Gao Yue's hands were itchy when he saw the fight, and now that he saw the two men being beaten so hard, he admired the big man standing at the door just now from the bottom of his heart.

"Sister-in-law, has your elder brother practiced too?" He asked while unfastening his cloth belt, volunteering to be Su Chunlai's brother.

"I've practiced!" Su Xiazhi boasted that she didn't write a draft, so she responded casually.

My brother has practiced knitting!However, it is very necessary to increase your own morale when you don't understand the whole thing.

"My brother was good at boxing and kicking when he was young, but he carried the roller on the stone mill in our village and walked away!"

The roller on the stone mill is made of a whole piece of stone, how heavy it is!That's why Su Xiazhi had just finished blowing the cowhide, and there was a burst of neat exclamations from the crowd.

"Actually, I can see it even if you don't tell me." Gao Yue untied the cloth belt and twitched the two of them: "Look at their arms, they can't lift them at all, can they? It doesn't take ten years to pick them so neatly." Absolutely impossible!"

No wonder the two men were holding their trousers with their arms hanging down. Just now Su Xiazhi wondered why they escaped without the cloth belt tied around their necks. It turned out that they couldn't lift them up at all.

Gao Yue led the two men to stand in the shade under the big elm tree.Those two people were sweating from the pain, but they didn't dare to hum.The spectators formed a circle chattering and asking questions, and the two of them just lowered their heads.

Gao Yue walked around them a few times before gloating, "Have you lost your tooth?"

Hearing this, one of the men finally said inarticulately: "I've never seen such a beating! Just a big slap! That big slap can cover my entire face and knock out several of my teeth... ..."

"Stop talking!" The man standing next to him looked around in horror, but he didn't find Su Chunlai's figure, and he finally felt a little more at ease: "Be careful when the ancestor heard it and then slapped it! You won't have a single tooth left." ..."

Seeing that the neighbors in front of the door followed Gao Yue to the big elm tree, Su Xiazhi closed the door, took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and came out with a big bowl.

In the main room, Su Chunlai and Min Lansheng were sitting and talking.He said, Min Lansheng listened, both of them looked flat, showing no emotion.

Putting the back of his hand on the teapot to test the temperature, Min Lansheng rolled up his sleeves with one hand and poured a cup of tea from the teapot with the other. Then he put down the teapot, pushed the teacup to the side of the uncle, and made a gesture of please.

Su Chunlai stopped, looked down at the small teacup, and picked up the big teapot!
Min Lansheng raised his eyebrows and looked away, feeling disgusted in his heart, thinking about having to talk to his wife about boiling the teapot for a while.But he didn't dare to speak.He couldn't heal his back injury and forget about his uncle's big feet.

"Brother, how can you drink water like this!" Su Xiazhi, who entered the room after a few steps, walked up to her brother and stretched out her hand to snatch the teapot from his hand, holding the pot in one hand and holding the bowl in the other, pouring the splashing tea into the bowl , just a pot of water.

"No matter how anxious you are, you can't drink with a pot." She brought the big bowl of tea in her hand to her brother.Su Chunlai was indeed thirsty, and he got it all in one breath.

Su Xiazhi refilled the teapot with boiling water, then sat down and asked, "What's going on?"

Su Chunlai shook his head: "These two people jumped out of the woods on the road, and they threw stones at my back basket, and they didn't know what to do. Several stones almost opened me up!"

After hearing what he said, Su Xiazhi quickly got up and walked in front of him and reached out to touch his brother's head.
