Chapter 16 Mrs. Wang
Author: Suisui
Su Mo took his three children through the streets and alleys and came to a remote street intersection.
The outside of the shop is filled with all kinds of furniture, as well as bamboo baskets and other things.
Su Mo took a fancy to a low bamboo bed at first sight. It was hot in summer, so it was nice to lie down on the bamboo bed to cool off.
Just asking about the price, it cost one tael of silver. Not only that, the cheapest wooden bed also cost five taels of silver. Su Mo was dumbfounded. She only had one tael of silver left with her. If she bought the bed, it would be troublesome if there was no income later.
In desperation, Su Mo had no choice but to leave with his three children. Gu Pingan followed behind with his things in his arms and asked with some confusion: "Mom, why do you want to buy a bed?"
It was the end of the meeting, it was the hottest time of the day, and Su Mo was carrying a heavy backpack, not to mention he was holding Gu Xingnian, who was sweating profusely.
But after hearing Gu Pingan's question, she patiently explained.
"Men and women have different seats at the age of eight. You and Jinnian have grown up and can no longer sleep in the same room with your sister.
Mom is thinking of buying you a bed so that you can sleep in the east room, and Xingnian can sleep with me."
Gu Ping'an seemed to understand but not quite.
Gu Jinnian glanced at Gu Xingnian, his eyes dimmed, but he still didn't speak.
The group of people soon arrived at the place where the cattle cart was parked, and Wang Taoqing was also there, which surprised Su Mo.
Wang Taoqing was specially guarded here. When she went back in the morning, she found that Su Mo and the others were not there. Recalling the trouble that happened with the Gu family a few years ago, she kept a close eye on it. After dinner, she came again in an oxcart.
to the county.
Not long after she came here, she saw Su Mo's family of four walking towards her from a distance. She wanted to go over, but she was afraid that Su Mo would think she was too attentive. After thinking about it a thousand times, she still sat on the bullock cart.
, and exchanged lyrics with Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Yuanhai scratched his head and didn't understand why his sister-in-law told him not to mention that she had just come to the county to make a bullock cart, but he still listened to his sister-in-law's words.
"Look at this guy who's sweating profusely. Give me Xingnian. Sit down and have a rest."
Su Mo and the others had already arrived at the bullock cart. Wang Taoqing quickly stood up with a smile and reached out to help pick up Gu Xingnian.
Su Mo was still a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm, but everyone in Luoshan Village knew that Chen Cihai and his wife were warm-hearted, so Su Mo didn't think much about it and responded with a grateful smile.
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law."
She put the backpack aside, carried Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian into the bullock cart, and then got on it herself.
The shed blocked the scorching sunshine, and the breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness. Su Mo took a long breath.
The oxcart would not return until the sixth hour of the hour. Not far from the shed, there was a sundial. Su Mo took a look and saw that the shadow of the dial needle fell between the hour of the hour and the hour of the hour.
In other words, we still had to wait for six quarters of an hour. Sitting there was a little awkward. Su Mo glanced at the nearby shops and suddenly remembered that he didn't buy soap locust liquid.
She stood up quickly. Wang Taoqing on the side saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I still need to buy some things. Sister-in-law Wang, could you please take care of the three children?"
The sun is really too hot, so I'm afraid I might give my child heat stroke if I take it with me.
Wang Taoqing heard Su Mo's words clearly and nodded with a smile: "It's no big deal, just go ahead and go."
Su Mo smiled and thanked him, and told the three children to stay here and not wander around before leaving.
Sapodilla liquid can be used to wash clothes, take a bath, and wash hair.
It is regarded as a daily necessity, so it is sold in every grocery store, and the price is the same. Su Mo picked a nearby store and bought a large can.
Clouds suddenly accumulated in the sky, blocking the scorching sunshine. Su Mo walked towards the bullock cart with the jar in his arms. When he passed by a pastry shop, he paused...
…
"Mother~"
Gu Xingnian stood up, waved to Su Mo, who was walking slowly, and narrowed his eyes into a thin line with a smile.
Su Mo smiled back, walked over, put the jar down, and put the cakes into the basket.
There was indeed no one there in the afternoon. He waited until six-quarters of an hour, but no one came. Chen Yuanhai thought that there must be no one, so he helped Su Mo put everything on the bullock cart.
Just as he was about to wave his whip and leave, someone came running from the street: "Wait for us..."
Chen Yuanhai looked back and saw Mrs. Wang and her daughter Wang Yingying from the village. He quickly stopped and waited for them to come over.
When Mrs. Wang saw the car stopped, she breathed a sigh of relief and took her daughter's hand. The two of them slowed down.
She walked leisurely and reached the oxcart. Mrs. Wang's inverted triangular eyes glanced at the oxcart without hiding the disgust on her face.
The smile on Wang Taoqing's face froze, and she shouted reluctantly: "Aunt."
Mrs. Wang raised her chin and said "hmm".
"Taoqing, it's not what my aunt said to you. In this business, people have to be divided. How can you let just anyone sit in our oxcart?"
After saying that, she looked at Su Mo with disdain, as if she was looking at some kind of plague god.
Wang Yingying on the side did not hide the disdain in her eyes at all. Her delicate little face was a bit ferocious. When she noticed that Su Mo was looking at her, she glared fiercely.
Su Mo was confused. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized.
This is an old story.
Gu Dalang has a good appearance and is different from other men in Luoshan Village. He is tall and strong and is the man that many girls in the village want to marry.
Wang Yingying is also one of them.
Her family originally found a matchmaker and went to Gu's house several times to talk, but in the end, she was intercepted by the original person.
With Zhu Yu in front of her, Wang Yingying looked down upon the marriage plans that were mentioned later, which led to the fact that she is already twenty and has not yet gotten married.
Mrs. Wang is also a fierce person. Since Gu Dalang's death, she has often slandered her in front of the villagers.
There was enmity between the two families.
Wang Taoqing's face looked a little ugly. Mrs. Wang was just her aunt and never gave her money to ride in the bullock cart on weekdays. Now she said something so ugly.
But she couldn't talk back, so her father gave birth to her. But her uncle's family had three sons besides Wang Yingying. Her parents wanted to adopt one of them into their own name, and they always told her to stay with her uncle's family during every year and festival.
Build good relationships.
But they didn't want to think about it. If the aunt was willing, she would have adopted her before the cousins could remember, and the three cousins would not be getting married soon.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, glanced at the sundial, and changed the subject: "Auntie took Yingying to see it?
I heard that my mother said that the man’s family owns a shop, and if he gets married, he will enjoy a happy life in the future.”
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but as soon as I said it, Mrs. Wang's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Wang Yingying's eyes suddenly turned red.
If Wang Taoqing couldn't see this, her life would be in vain. She smiled and moved to the side.
"Well, uncle and Yingying, come up quickly."
Mrs. Wang sat on it with a sullen face. She was already fat, so as soon as she sat down, there was no room in the bullock cart.
Wang Yingying's eyes turned even redder. She felt panicked when she thought that her good marriage had been cut off by Su Mo, leaving her still unmarried and being humiliated today.
She looked at Su Mo fiercely, pointed at the things on the bullock cart, and cursed:
"This bullock cart is for people, not for pulling goods. Do you want to lose face by taking so many things to occupy a seat?"
