Chapter 526 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong

Following Su Yingxiu into the courtyard, Ms. Zhou felt that her eyes were bright and bright.

This yard not only looks good from the outside, it actually looks even better inside.

Unlike other families who grow vegetables and land at home, there are scenery here that she has never seen before.

The appearance is based on the rocks we see in daily life. There are rockeries and clear ponds, and the ponds also have fish.

Surrounded by lush leaves, those branches are still green in winter.

There were several budding plum trees leaning against the wall.

Let alone living in a courtyard like this, even if you just visit it, you will feel enlightened.

Mrs. Zhou looked at it and couldn't help but praise,

"This yard is really nice."

Su Yingxiu responded with a smile.

In fact, this is mainly what Yu Wenjing meant.

Originally, she lived alone and just wanted a roof over her head so that she could get by with the hard life.

But Yu Wenjing didn’t think so.

Yu Wenjing was raised in a noble family from a young age and pursued quality of life.

Even if you don’t need a big yard or raise too many slaves, at least the place you live in must be comfortable and you can see through it.

In Yu Wenjing's words, since you have decided to live here, you have to make the place where you live comfortable.

It happened that they had some money on hand. In addition to the thirty taels for the courtyard and the ten taels for the boy and girl, they spent another fifteen taels on the furnishings in the yard.

Now they still have more than two hundred taels of silver in their hands. Although it cannot be compared with the wealthy life in the capital, it is not a problem to live a leisurely and comfortable life.

Mrs. Zhou liked it when she looked at the yard, but she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

She thought that just to renovate her yard would cost seven or eight taels of silver.

This house has mountains, water and fish. How can it be done with less than a few dozen taels of silver?

But Su Yingxiu actually bought it!

It was such a big deal right from the start.

When she was thinking this, Mrs. Zhou squinted her eyes and looked at Su Yingxiu secretly.

Seeing that the other party was always wearing plain clothes, he subconsciously lowered the corners of his mouth.

Living in such a nice courtyard and dressing so quietly, I don't want to show off my wealth!

Su Yingxiu lowered her eyebrows slightly, showing her usual humble attitude toward Zhou, pretending not to notice the other person's gaze.

Zhou walked slowly and sighed,

"Ying Xiu, I came here today and it really opened my eyes.

Tell me about you. When you become rich, you won’t help me more.

If I hadn't heard other people say it, I still wouldn't have believed it.

We are all neighbors, we should interact with each other.

You had stayed at my house before, and the relationship we had was not ordinary."

This is the Zhou family.

She said it didn't matter at first, and she was the one who wanted to make things clear.

Now she is the one who wants to take advantage of the benefits.

Su Yingxiu nodded, "Auntie said that I didn't think enough about this matter."

After Su Yingxiu's words, another voice came out,

"If that's the case, why did the girl move out?"

The speaker is Lonicera, a little girl who was bought back on the same day as Fuxing.

Because it happened to be winter and she didn't have a serious name, Su Yingxiu gave her this name.

Honeysuckle, another name for honeysuckle, can grow tenaciously even in winter.

At the age of twelve, he is the age when he is lively and loves to joke.

She heard Zhou's words, but she didn't know the real relationship between him and Su Yingxiu, so she couldn't help but tilt her head and ask more questions.

Lonicera said it unintentionally because she didn't know, but Zhou felt guilty and overthought it.

She felt that Su Yingxiu did it on purpose. When she couldn't say anything, she pushed a little girl out to block her words.

His expression immediately changed, and he glanced at everyone present.

Liao Dong sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and knew that she had said the wrong thing. She looked worriedly in the direction of Su Yingxiu, fearing that she would be kicked out.

She had no one at home. When she was at her uncle's house, her uncle thought there were too many children at home, so he sold her to Ren Yazi. She was bought back after being seen by Su Yingxiu and Yu Wenjing on the street.

She knew that if she was not bought back by chance, she would either be sold to a brothel or sent to a rich man's house as a concubine.

Although she is young, she does not want to live such a life.

Therefore, when I first came, I would always be cautious.

It was Su Yingxiu who saw that she was timid and timid, so she told her not to be afraid, just treat her as if she was at home.

In Su Yingxiu's view, those who have neither father nor mother are pitiful people, so why bother.

It was also after that that the little girl became more courageous and started to talk more.

Until now, I was glared at by Mr. Zhou.

Lonicera was afraid that if she offended someone, she would be sold again.

Su Yingxiu saw her trembling and panicked eyes and said slowly,

"Let's make tea first."

Lonicera: "Yes."

Seeing these two people talking to each other, Zhou felt that they were acting.

With a cold face, he went to sit in the room without waiting for an invitation.

If you order the little girl around in front of her, it sounds like making tea, but you're not trying to make her look good!

After a while Yu Wenjing came back and saw Lonicera standing outside.

A worried look on his face.

Yu Wenjing asked casually, "Why are you here?"

Lonicera lowered its head first,

"A relative has come to the house, and I, I am standing here right now."

In fact, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing again.

After she arrived here, she felt that the girl was very kind to her. She could have enough food and a room dedicated to her.

Originally, she slept with several younger brothers and sisters at her uncle's house.

I know how difficult it is to meet such a master and live in such a family.

After hearing this, Yu Wenjing looked impatient.

Relatives are coming?

Why didn't he know that they had relatives here?

Fuxing followed and said something helpful.

He is three years older than Lonicera and has met more people than Lonicera.

"Today a lady came to see the girl, and the girl also knew her.

His face doesn’t look very good.”

The last sentence is his personal judgment.

Judging from the sarcastic look on his face, he doesn't look like someone he's easy to get along with.

Yu Wenjing didn't listen to their chatter anymore and went directly to the house.

In the room, Su Yingxiu brought tea to Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, drink tea."

Zhou Ming smiled half-heartedly and took it.

"Why are you still willing to call me aunt?

Look, you have such a nice yard to live in now, and you still have people to take care of you.

You don’t mind that I come from a poor background, but if you are willing to let me in again, it’s already very rare.”

Su Ying had a smile on her sleeves.

She has an understanding of Mr. Zhou and her speaking habits.

It's up to people to say everything, as long as she doesn't worry about it in her heart.

It's a pity that Su Yingxiu will give Zhou family face, but Yu Wenjing will not.

Yu Wenjing arrived at the door just in time to hear Mr. Zhou's call.

He opened the door curtain and threw the tea away immediately after entering, with an angry look.

"Who are you? It's your turn to speak here, so get out."
