Chapter 487(1/2)
Su Baizhu's proposal was approved by the whole family, and immediately filled his heart with warmth, dispersing the pain brought by Chen Lanhua a lot. The family was discussing the future matters vigorously until midnight. In the end, Su Xueyun thought about getting up early to make food the next day, so she persuaded them to wash and rest.
Su Xueyun and Su Baizhu left the door of the east house one after another. Su Xueyun called Su Baizhu and comforted him: "Brother, everything has passed, I don't think about it anymore, don't think about it too much. In the future, let's live a good life at home together and respect your parents well, which is the best."
Su Baizhu looked at her, with a hesitant expression on his face, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "Xiu'er, tell me the truth, did you do that on purpose? Is it... because of Liang Cheng's affairs that you don't want to get married?"
Su Xueyun smiled and shook her head and said, "Brother, Chen Lanhua has done a very bad thing too. Will you stop marrying a wife because of her?"
Su Baizhu was stunned, "But you..."
"Brother, I'm really not because of Liang Cheng. From the day I broke up with him, he has no effect on me. I don't want to get married because I didn't meet someone I like. Brother, since you asked, I will tell you the truth. You know mine. In the past, I like Liang Cheng, and I could destroy three good marriages for him, and fight to ruin my body and help him pay off his debts. It's all because I'm willing. Even now I know that I've seen the wrong person, but the mood of my liking someone at that time was true. Only such real feelings can make me care so much about others. So, if I don't have someone I like, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."
Su Xueyun's face was calm when she spoke, and she was not as sad as she was betrayed and abandoned by her lover, nor was she confused and afraid of not getting married for the rest of her life. She only had firmness and confidence, just like... she could live her best life by herself.
Su Baizhu was stunned when he looked at her expression. He seemed to have something broken out of the ground in his heart. It seemed that the fog in front of him was all pushed away, revealing a clear and broad road. He suddenly clarified the direction of the future. He knew that he must go to a high place. Only in this way can he protect his parents and sister, so that they will not be forced and threatened by anyone in the future, and will no longer worry about any gossip.
It may be a series of blows that changed Su Baizhu's ideas, especially what he saw and heard in the Yang family made him understand the difficulties of the woman, so he did not want to refute Su Xueyun's words at all. Instead, he looked at Su Xueyun seriously and made a solemn promise, "As long as you don't want to, no one will force you. In the future, my brother will be your backer. No matter what you want to do, my brother will support you."
Su Xueyun slowly raised the corners of her lips and looked at her brother with a smile and said, "What does my brother want to do in the future, I will always support my brother."
The brother and sister smiled at each other, as if they had reached some agreement, which invisibly brought a lot closer. They had a lofty goal, and now the starting point is still low, and they still need to make a lot of efforts. But after having the goal, it seems that they have motivation all of a sudden. In order to maintain this family, they will work together to move towards a promising future together.
In the next few days, Su Xueyun got up the earliest every day. Before Liu entered the kitchen, she first drew water and added a drop of Lingquan water to it for food. This drop of Lingquan water was dispersed into hundreds of steamed buns and pancakes, and the effect became very small, which means that people think that the food in her house is delicious. Maybe after eating it, they will occasionally remember it and think about buying it again.
This was also decided after Su Xueyun thought carefully. After all, she wanted the Su family to have their own ability to make money. Since Liu sold food, it was impossible to follow Liu's side to help add spiritual spring water for the rest of her life. So she only put one drop, which would not make the taste of the things too exaggerated, and could also make their business smoother in the early stages of its infancy.
The Su family had never done business before. If the initial situation was not going well, it might suddenly dispel the enthusiasm. The most important reason for Su Xueyun to do this is to encourage them not to limit their attention to the farmer's land. When the business stabilizes in the future, she will guide Liu to improve her food skills bit by bit, so naturally there is no need to put the spiritual spring water.
Su Xueyun thought carefully. When she helped Liu prepare food every day, she would praise Liu without any trace, and she did not forget to remind her of some possible problems. Fortunately, Liu is very honest and conscientious. She always uses materials for things and treats people sincerely and kindly. Even if she can earn about 200 mins a day, she is just happy that her family has a good income and is never proud and complacent. It is her honest personality that has made her meet many repeat customers. Even for her, there are customers who are willing to visit the business.
Seeing that she was so smooth, Su Xueyun stayed at home to make clothes for her family. Su Dapeng and Su Baizhu took turns to accompany Liu to the town, one day, and those who stayed at home were responsible for drying food, chopping wood, and feeding livestock. None of the four of them was idle.
After five or six days like this, the villagers gradually learned about their selling things in the town and came to inquire. They probably were worried that the Su family would not want to tell them, so they were very careful and took Su Xueyun to come to the house alone when they were at home, and sat down on the excuse of making clothes and chatting together, and they tried to get Su Xueyun's words around the bush.
If the Su family only relies on this, Su Xueyun would certainly not have told them. However, Su Xueyun never planned to let the Su family set up a stall for a lifetime, so she had no intention of hiding it at all. She generously told everyone about setting up a stall and selling food. She also gave them a lot of suggestions, such as selling candied haws, cured meat, handmade flowers, etc. In short, you can't think of ways to learn it. As long as you don't do too much of these things, you won't lose much.
Su Xueyun showed his thoughts on everyone, which moved several women with good character. Even if they just wanted to get some cheap women, they couldn't say that Su Xueyun was not easy to come. They knew what they thought when they came. No matter how nice they said, they wanted to inquire about their ways to make money. Such things were sarcastic. No matter how sarcastic they were, they were light. Who would tell them directly like Su Xueyun who also helped them think about their ways? They could see that Su Xueyun was not the kind of stupid person who was foolish and clichéd, which made them even more ashamed. They also felt a little more affection and affection for Su Xueyun. Later, they really came to the door to get close to Su Xueyun.
Two families decided to sell cured meat and tomato flowers. Several other families learned to make corn cakes and other foods from the Su family. They thought that since the Su family sold well, they would definitely be able to sell them. For a moment, the enthusiasm for selling things in the village became high. After returning home, Liu became a little angry and lay on the bed without even having a few bites of food.
After washing the dishes, Su Xueyun asked Su Baizhu, who was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, “Brother, how is the business today? Why are you unhappy?”
Su Baizhu smiled and said, "There are seven or eight families in the village who go to the town to sell food, but two companies chose the location diagonally opposite our house. They sold it a little cheaper than us. They also yelled to steal a lot of business with the names of our village. Can I not get angry when they see them like that? However, there are still many people who recognize our house's things. They sell all the things one hour later, which is not much of an impact. My mother is just worried that if this continues, more business will be taken away. She feels like they have distributed our family's money, and she feels uncomfortable."
Su Xueyun smiled, wiped her hands, and said, "I'll talk to my mother. Brother, don't be busy. Working at night hurts your eyes and rest early."
"Hey, don't worry about me, go see my mother."
Su Xueyun nodded and rushed into the east room with a bowl of sugar water.
Su Dapeng was smoking a dry tobacco. When he saw her smiling, Liu, who was lying on the punch, said: "Your daughter is here, look at you, you are almost a grandma, and you still let your daughter coax you."
Liu pulled the quilt and said in a muffled voice: "Damn old man, who let his daughter coax it? Just talk nonsense!"
Su Xueyun sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile, "Mom, our family is getting better and better, you should be happy, why are you angry?"
Liu said angrily: "It's not Matchmaker Wang and Widow Liu! They are so shameless. Just sell them opposite our house. They actually told people that they were from our village and brought many people to buy them. They deliberately sold them a little cheaper than us. Isn't this an obvious way to grab the business? I want to argue with them, your brother pulled me and told me not to make people laugh. I endured it until now and felt so angry that my heart hurt. I was so angry that I was so angry!"
Su Xueyun pulled Liu and said with a smile: "Mom, don't be angry when you drink some sugar water. What a big deal. They said they were from our village, and selling cheaply is their freedom. Even if we come to settle the accounts, we can't tell us anything. We can't control others in this matter."
"Would you just forget it? Why do you say so much to them? They turned around and robbed our business and didn't miss you at all. Matchmaker Wang didn't know where to inquire about it. Thinking of the marriage she introduced to you brother and sister, I was so angry!"
"Mom, this matter is all on the surface. In fact, they came to ask because they had never done it, and they were unsure and didn't dare to go. Even if I didn't say it, there would be brave enough to try it by myself. As long as it was not too unlucky, we would always sell it a little. Then we would seem to be cautious when we hide it. Maybe they wouldn't sell well and even spread resentment on our family. Even if we don't care what they say, they are all from the same village. If we look up, we won't be happy when we meet it, right? Now I will explain it to them first and give them some advice. In this way, no matter what they do in the future, they can't say that our family is not good, otherwise wouldn't it be ungrateful."
Su Xueyun handed over the sugar water to Liu again. This time, Liu was a little more angry. While drinking the sugar water, he said, "I don't know how others sell. Anyway, matchmaker Wang and Widow Liu sell well. They are also brave and make more food than ours. I see that they can make 200 cents by themselves, which is not worse than ours. Otherwise, let's do more tomorrow?"
Su Xueyun shook her head quickly, "Let's not worry about those, just keep it still. Mom, they sold so much today because they made a fuss today, but our food is delicious. After eating a few of them, they will definitely come to our house to buy it. Look, their business will definitely not be so good in the future. Our family is looking for stability. As long as the income becomes small, they don't have to worry about anything. Anyway, it will not have any impact."
Su Dapeng knocked his tobacco pipe rod and said, "My daughter is right and her mind is more flexible than us. Just listen to her. If she really can't sell it in the future, then I'll talk about it. The land at home is still there, so why worry about it."
Liu gave him a blank look, "Crow's mouth, there's no time when our family can't sell it."
Su Dapeng said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm a crow's mouth, what I said doesn't count. Isn't that good enough when I can't sell it? Don't think about anything, let the two children worry about it."
Su Xueyun smiled and said, "Mom, please relax in the future. Even if we don't sell this, we can sell other things, such as selling cured meat. I'm free at home and think about how to cure meat. In the past, our cured meat was similar to other people's houses. I'll see if it could be made delicious. As long as it tastes better than other people's houses, someone will definitely buy it. As for matchmaker Wang and Widow Liu, matchmaker Wang has a bad character and will definitely fall apart when doing business. Widow Liu is not a good thing to do this this time, let's just ignore them."
"Yes, I can't settle the score with them. We can't stop dealing with them, and we won't tell them any good things in the future." Liu muttered in anger, holding Su Xueyun's hand and laughed, "You are still smart and don't take anything to your heart. I see that your reputation is much better than before, and our family's life is much better. Maybe a good family will come to propose marriage in a short while."
Su Xueyun pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, who knows if she is here now, is it because she likes me or if she is interested in our family and makes money? Otherwise, why wouldn't she come to the house before?"
"That's true..."
Su Xueyun rummaged around Liu and said something, then took the excuse to get trapped and fled back to his own house. Liu was still thinking about selling things, so naturally he didn't think about anything good.
With Su Xueyun clearing up, Liu was refreshed the next morning and happily prepared the food he wanted to sell. He also prepared more red bean cakes. They were not exquisite and tasted good, but the sweet and rustling taste of red beans, which were also very optimistic.
On this day, it was Su Dapeng's turn to accompany Liu to the town. The couple pushed the small wooden cart and left early. On the way, they met villagers. They smiled as usual, which made many people who were waiting to see the Su family's reaction amazed. They didn't understand why the Su family was robbed of their business. They were not angry. Could it be that they were timid and dared not make trouble? But the last time Chen Lanhua was off, the Su family was very tough, so they didn't look timid? In the end, everyone had to think that they were really generous as the Su family, and it would be fine to admire them.
Su Xueyun went around the village and was very satisfied with this situation. This was the effect she wanted to achieve. Even though the Su family was rich in the village, the family suddenly changed and had a fierce daughter. Even if many people didn't say it, they couldn't help but feel a little gloating. Then the Su family suddenly sold things, and it looked very good. How could the already poor family not be jealous? Sometimes simple envy turned into jealousy and it was just a matter of a moment.
Su Xueyun used the "Shengmien" in the fight against Miqiu to solve this problem, which made the Su family not only not be remembered by the villagers, but also gained some gratitude. The most obvious effect of doing this is that their reputation has improved, and her reputation has also become sensible and generous. In the past, those who are stubborn have become portrayals of strong protection of their weaknesses. This is a good thing. As long as their family is still living here, it is very important to establish a good relationship with the villagers, so that they can live comfortably, right?
However, when their Su family is in a comfortable life, there must be some people who dislike them, such as Li Xiner, Chen Lanhua, and Wang Matchmaker. They all want the Su family to be in a downturn. Even the Liang family will feel a little subtle regret, let alone the Chen family.
The Chen family was punished to live in a place with no people at the end of the village. The broken house was even more broken than the one they used to be. The house was smaller, and there were many conflicts between the whole family. They were simply beating and scolding every day.
Chen Lanhua was retired and could only live in the same house with Chen Lianhua. Because Chen Lianhua took out her money that day, Chen Lanhua hated this sister to the core, and she could not eat without asking for any reason every day. However, Chen Lanhua was the culprit of the Chen family's unlucky fortune. None of the Chen family did not hate her. Instead, Chen Lianhua would cry and pretend to be pitiful, and the Chen family helped her scold Chen Lanhua a lot.
But this was a vicious cycle. Chen Lianhua asked the Chen family to help her stand out. Chen Lanhua was scolded, so she naturally had to ask Chen Lianhua to vent her anger. Chen Lianhua didn't endure anything. She endured it for a few days, but she couldn't bear it anymore. It happened that she heard that the Su family sold food well and life was better than before. So she got up and took advantage of the time when Chen Lanhua was going to carry water and dressed up and ran to the Su family.
Su Xueyun was helping Su Baizhu feed livestock in the yard, and then a timid voice outside the gate said, "Brother-in-law...Brother-in-law..."
Su Xueyun looked back and was instantly happy, and whispered: "Brother is lucky to have a love of love, but unfortunately he is a bad love."
Su Baizhu was stunned and said with a dark face: "What are you talking about? I don't know what I'm thinking all day long. She is Chen Lanhua's sister."
So my sister-in-law didn't care about her brother-in-law? Su Xueyun really wanted to tell him: You are still too young, boy!
Chen Lianhua, who was outside the door, saw that they ignored her, had a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she even spoke with a swallowing voice: "Brother-in-law... please help me..."
Su Xueyun put down the wooden barrel and walked to the door with Su Baizhu to look at Chen Lianhua. Su Baizhu said, "I am no longer your brother-in-law. Our Su family and your Chen family have broken up their compassion. You shouldn't come to me if you have anything to do. I won't help you. You go."
Chen Lianhua stared at him with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Brother-in-law, don't you even have any old love? I know my sister is sorry for your family, and I know that my family has broken up with your family, but I have never done anything to be sorry for you. Brother-in-law, no, Brother Zhuzi..."
"What brother Zhuzi?!" Su Baizhu suddenly sank his face and said coldly, "You go quickly, don't force me to drive you with a broom. The Su family does not welcome your surname Chen!"
Su Baizhu grabbed the door and tried to close, but was blocked by Chen Lianhua. Chen Lianhua's tears remained on her cheeks, and Li Hua cried in the rain: "Brother Zhuzi, don't drive me away, I can't survive at home. My sister beat me and scolded me every day. I did nothing wrong, but I was almost tortured to death by her. Brother Zhuzi, save me, Brother Zhuzi..."
"Okay, you little hoof, how dare you seduce your brother-in-law?! I'll tear you!" A sharp scream came, and Chen Lanhua suddenly rushed over from the side, grabbed Chen Lianhua's arm and pulled her into a stagger.
Chen Lianhua screamed in fear, pushed Chen Lanhua away and ran towards Su Baizhu. Su Xueyun picked up the pick and kicked the thin firewood branches at her feet. The thin firewood branches rolled to Chen Lianhua's feet, and slid Chen Lianhua to death. Another scream was heard, Chen Lianhua was already lying on the ground with a promising body, and Chen Lanhua seized the opportunity and rode on her!
"Bitch! Bitch! I knew you were not kind-hearted! You even put on rouge and changed your clothes. What do you want to do? Want to climb onto your brother-in-law's kang?! Bah, you deserve it? No wonder you always say that you can't marry someone worse than your brother-in-law. It turns out that you have long been thinking about your brother-in-law. I said why did you so immoral that day and put my money out. It turns out that you wanted me to be unable to turn over, so that you can give you a place to let you enter the Su family! You are so conscientious and ungrateful, you treat you so well, you seduce my man, I must tear you up today! Say, when did you seduce my man? When did you think about him?" Chen Lanhua was crazy and slapped Chen Lianhua desperately. After a while, she blushed Chen Lianhua's face, but she was still unhappy and kept grabbing and pinching Chen Lianhua.
Chen Lianhua cried loudly and called for help, quibbling that she had never seduced Su Baizhu, but she came to ask someone to ask for help after she couldn't stand the abuse of her sister at home. She only looked for Su Baizhu because she didn't know anyone, and Su Baizhu was still a good person.
Chen Lanhua didn't believe her nonsense and insisted on making her swear that she would never marry Su Baizhu in her life, and asked her to swear that she had never thought about Su Baizhu, otherwise she would be thundered and would not die well.
Chen Lianhua naturally did not dare to swear, and just cried and said that she was wronged. But her performance made everyone's attitude towards her change from sympathy to contempt. That day, Su Xueyun swears when she swears. Although she feels a little fierce, she is really upright and upright. When Chen Lianhua comes to her, she is full of injustice and dare not swear. Isn't this treating them as fools?
Everyone who heard the news came to see him. Seeing that Su Xueyun and his brother and sister were not in their own affairs, they laughed at the Chen sisters. Some even joked that they were singing monkey operas, and some even scolded them for watching the Su family make money and came to bahra men.
Chen Lanhua's reputation is already ruined, and she doesn't care about the people around her. Chen Lianhua is different. She came to the Su family to seduce Su Baizhu. Who knew that she had died before she could succeed. Now that Chen Lanhua's thoughts were exposed, she was beaten so miserable, and she was simply ruined by all her reputation. She kept her reputation when the Chen family was smashed, but now she was destroyed by Chen Lanhua. She was so angry that she suddenly shouted to Su Baizhu: "Brother Zhuzi, save me, sister, she sees you will not reconcile with her, and beat me up, save me."
Chen Lanhua paused, looked up at Su Baizhu, and said, "Dazhu, we are husband and wife. Do you know mine. If she hadn't been a slut, could I beat her?"
Su Baizhu snorted coldly, "It has nothing to do with me if you two want to die. Stay away from our door."
Chen Lanhua was stunned and stared at him and said, "Are you so heartless? Your father decided to leave me, so you are not reluctant to let me go?"
"No, this is Yunshui Village. If you make trouble here again, I will go to the Liushu Village to ask for an explanation." Su Baizhu's face was not moved, and his eyes were very cold when he looked at Chen Lanhua and Chen Lianhua. He had already given Chen Lanhua a chance, but Chen Lanhua's actions consumed all his feelings. As for Chen Lianhua, it had nothing to do with him. As Su Xueyun said, it was just a bad peach blossom.
After Su Baizhu finished speaking, he slammed the door and continued to feed the livestock.
Su Xueyun walked over and smiled and said, "Brother, how long do you think they will leave?"
Su Baizhu shook his head and said, "What do you care about them? It has nothing to do with our family. If there is too much trouble, they will be embarrassed by it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Su family gate was slammed. Chen Lanhua cried outside the gate: "Dazhu, Dazhu, let me in. I know I was wrong. I will not make any mistakes in the future. Xiu'er, my sister-in-law knows that she is wrong. My sister-in-law kowtowed to you and admits her mistake. Forgive me this time. Your brother loves you the most. Please help my sister-in-law beg for mercy. As long as you can forgive me, I can do whatever I want..."
Su Baizhu put down the bucket and told Su Xueyun to lock the door at home. Then he went out and walked towards Lizheng's house. He wanted to find Liushu Village to explain, of course, the inner part of Yunshui Village had to come forward.
Su Xueyun locked the door and stood on tiptoe to look out from the wall. Chen Lanhua wanted to go forward and pull Su Baizhu, but Su Baizhu avoided it alertly. Chen Lanhua anxiously begged Su Baizhu to forgive her, but Su Baizhu didn't even look at her.
At this time, the villagers who were having a good time were invited over, and they turned dark when they saw this scene.
Su Baizhu bowed to Li Zheng and asked Li Zheng to help him say to Li Zheng in Liushu Village. The Chen family came to the Su family to make trouble again, so they had to give an explanation. They couldn't harm the people in Yunshui Village, but they would continue to harm.
Li Zheng agreed without saying a word, which shows that he was very disgusted with the Chen family and asked a few people to go to Liushu Village.
Seeing this, Chen Lanhua changed her face and pointed at Su Baizhu and said angrily: "You unscrupulous man, I have married you for two years, but you don't even have any old love. Well, I'm unkind and unrighteous. If you don't let me make trouble, give me ten taels of silver, otherwise I will make your family messy even if I die. Didn't your mother make money by selling things? She must not care about this little silver. If I can't collect all the betrothal gifts from the Yang family, you will die. You can't even ignore me, right?"
Su Baizhu laughed furiously, "Why should I care? Didn't this all your own fault? I have nothing to say to you. Uncle Li Zheng, please be fair for me."
Li Zheng said in a deep voice: "Okay, our Yunshui Village is not a place where people can mess around, let's go."
Several women followed him up and captured Chen Lanhua and Chen Lianhua. The group walked towards Liushu Village in a mighty manner. Su Xueyun thought about it and followed.
When they arrived at Liushu Village, the villagers who met on the road looked ugly when they saw the Chen sisters. They knew that they must have caused something again, so they quickly went to inform the official in Liushu Village. Some people also ran to call the Chen family, but their attitude towards the Chen family was not that good, and they almost cursed and told them to get over.
After both sides were all together, the inner part of Yunshui Village was speaking: "Before, Chen wanted to harm the Su girl, but she made a big mistake of jealousy, greed, and verbalism. The Su family retired back to Liushu Village. The two families also agreed to have a breakdown of gratitude and no longer interacted. But today, the two Chen families ran to our Yunshui Village to make a tantrum and rolled around, shouting, and it was really ugly. Chen even threatened Dazhu to pay ten taels of silver. Should he give an explanation?"
In Liushu Village, he glanced at Chen Lanhua and Chen Lianhua, his eyes were full of disgust and said in a deep voice: "I don't know about this, otherwise I wouldn't have such shameless people except Liushu Village."
When Chen Dashuan heard this, he hurriedly shouted, "Li Zheng, you can't drive us away. It's all their troubles, it has nothing to do with us."
To be continued...
