Chapter 58 Aggressive Mrs. Su

It was about five o'clock in the morning. Su Jiao got up because she had an appointment with Wu Xiaoqin and Su Caixia to go to the city together today.

Seeing that Ye Mingyuan and Ye Yao were still sleeping soundly next to them, Su Jiao gently tucked them into bed.

Last night before going to bed, Su Jiao told Ye Mingyuan about Wu Xiaoqin and Su Caixia, and also told Ye Mingyuan that she was going to the city to buy plastic sheeting today. Su Jiao did not wake Ye Mingyuan up.

Because Ye Mingyuan's eyes were all red from the beginning of the autumn harvest to now. Now that he is finally done with the work in the fields, he can take a good rest for a few days.

Su Jiaoqiu felt a little lazy after harvesting. She slept until about three o'clock in the morning every day. Suddenly she woke up early, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Rubbing her sore eyes, Su Jiao was too lazy to make breakfast, so she took two eggs and two bowls of pimple soup from the space mall and left them for the brother and sister to eat when they got up. Su Jiao herself secretly ate the steamed dumplings, which were delicious.

When they arrived at the bullock cart, there was no one in the cart. Su Jiao put the backpack aside, then dozed off and chatted wordlessly on the handlebars for a while, before Wu Xiaoqin and Su Caixia came.

The two of them apologized to Su Jiao as soon as they got in the car. Su Caixia was too tired to clean up yesterday and overslept, while Wu Xiaoqin was busy at home giving instructions to her husband Li Shoucai and forgot the time.

Because today is the day for the team to distribute food, yesterday afternoon the team leader informed us to gather at the production team's granary at nine o'clock this morning.

Li Shoucai has been bullied by his brothers and sisters since he was a child. He is very timid and has no opinions of his own. The second elder of the Li family is not a person who can suppress things. Otherwise, Li Shoucai's brothers and sisters would not be allowed to bring trouble to the family. That way, Wu Xiaoqin basically decides on all the big and small things at home now.

Wu Xiaoqin told Li Shoucai several times in the morning, telling him to keep his lot when dividing the food, and not to listen to what others said, but just to distribute the food in the order in which he was drawn.

Everything happens for a reason. The reason why Wu Xiaoqin is so nervous is because before she married Li Shoucai, every time Li Shoucai drew a lot for the food distribution, he would be forcibly replaced by his two brothers, and Li Shoucai did not dare to speak. , I endure it silently every time.

Because when the team allocates food from house to house in the order of drawing lots, the team allocates food from the upper end of the grain pile. The food at the upper end is fuller than the food at the lower end, so the one who draws the lot first has the advantage. .

After Wu Xiaoqin got married, Li Shoucai's brother tried to do the same thing again and tried to take advantage of Wu Xiaoqin, but Wu Xiaoqin was slapped in the face severely. Wu Xiaoqin was not afraid of the two brothers. After all, her brothers and sisters from her mother's family were not living off the job these days. Whoever has a strong family and a lot of labor will have a hard back.

When Su Jiao heard that Wu Xiaoqin kept trying to eliminate Li Shoucai, she couldn't help but tease her and asked why she was so worried about going to the city today. Wouldn't it look good at home?

Wu Xiaoqin rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Then we can't guard him at home every day. He is not a child. A grown man should have his own opinions."

Su Caixia listened to Wu Xiaoqin talking about Li Shoucai's shortcomings, but her heart was filled with envy and sadness. After all, Su Jiao and Wu Xiaoqin were both a few years younger than her, but they were already married, and she was already an old girl. , but the old lady still refused to let go and insisted on demanding a high bride price. When could she escape from the den of tigers and wolves at home?

When Su Jiao saw Su Caixia's depressed expression, she knew that she must be thinking about the troubles at home again. She quickly changed the topic and started talking about what to buy in the city, the preparations to be made at home before winter, and the atmosphere. Slowly became active again.

Maybe it was because several teams in the village were distributing grain, and after waiting for a long time, no one came again, so he didn't wait any longer and drove the ox cart to the city.

Because the three people had similar personalities, they were very engaged in chatting along the way, and they arrived at the county seat before they knew it.

Su Caixia reluctantly said goodbye to Su Jiao and Wu Xiaoqin and went home.

Su Jiao looked at Su Caixia's back and hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Xiaoqin, saying that she wanted to go to the textile factory to find her classmates first. The two made an appointment to meet at the handlebar in the afternoon and separated.

Su Jiao saw Wu Xiaoqin walking away, and hurriedly chased in the direction Su Caixia was walking.

Fortunately, Su Caixia walked slowly, and Su Jiao did not lose her. She saw Su Caixia's figure in an alley not far away. She followed Su Caixia secretly and turned left and right along the way. They were almost out of the county, and Su Caixia just I stopped in a remote alley and opened the door of the courtyard at the end of the alley.

Su Jiao looked around. They were very dilapidated. Although they were brick houses, the nearby houses seemed to be many years old. The surrounding alleys were also very narrow, and the layout of each yard was not large. Looking at it, A bit suffocating.

After Su Caixia entered the hospital, Su Jiao waited outside the alley for a while. Seeing that Su Caixia did not come out again, Su Jiao walked quietly to the alley. As soon as she reached the door of the courtyard where Su Caixia entered, she heard something inside. There were shouts and curses, "You lose money, even if you can't get married every day, and you are struggling to do something, I asked you to go back to the village to clean up. Why are you back so late? Do you want to starve us to death?"

Su Jiao recognized that it was Old Mrs. Su who was yelling and scolding, because Old Mrs. Su's voice was very recognizable, and every word in her broken voice revealed vitriol.

When Su Jiao heard the yelling, she was frightened and hurriedly ran out of the alley. She was afraid that if a neighbor heard the sound and went out to watch the fun or break up a fight, wouldn't she be exposed?

Sure enough, as soon as Su Jiao ran out of the alley, the doors of two courtyards in the alley were opened, and two middle-aged women came out. As soon as they left the door, they got together and started talking quietly.

Su Jiao hurriedly walked to the dead end of the alley and listened to the two people's discussion.

"Oh, what a sin, that Mrs. Su is scolding girl Caixia again." Aunt No. 1 said unjustly.

"Yes, Caixia is such a well-behaved girl. Whoever has such a sensible child would treat her kindly. She helps the family wash clothes and cook every day, and does everything she can. However, this Granny Su is not satisfied and scolds her every day. "Aunt No. 2 also expressed regret.

While the two were talking, the sound of the door opening came from the alley again. Su Jiao peeked her head secretly and found that another family opened the door, and a sister-in-law in her thirties came out.

"Oh, this girl Caixia is pitiful. She is about to turn into an old girl. Mrs. Su is not willing to find a good marriage for her. She is still thinking about selling her granddaughter with high gifts, but don't look at their family except Is there any serious person besides Caixia girl? Those who want to get married didn't scare away after asking for more information." The eldest sister-in-law saw the two aunts in the alley discussing and immediately joined in.

"Isn't it true? She has to sell her granddaughter to marry her grandson, and she doesn't care about her grandson's virtues. How can any decent girl dare to marry?" Aunt No. 1 continued.

"I heard that Mrs. Su now wants to marry Caixia to the old widower at the east end of the city." Aunt No. 2 said mysteriously.

"What? That old widower in the east of the city? That old widower beats his wife. The previous wife was beaten to death by him. Mrs. Su is trying to push Caixia into the fire pit." Aunt No. 1 said in surprise. .

"Who told the old widower to give a high gift? He said it was 200 yuan." Aunt No. immediately explained.

Su Jiao was shocked when she heard this. She really didn't expect that Mrs. Su would be so cruel. She wanted to marry Su Caixia to an old widower who had beaten his wife to death. This was just to sell Su Caixia's life for 200 yuan. Yes.

"Oh, what a sin. How could Mrs. Su be so cruel? She was her granddaughter. Just for 200 yuan, she wanted to kill her granddaughter. Mrs. Su and her son work in a tool factory. One month You can make a lot of money, so why did you have to sell your own granddaughter?" the sister-in-law said angrily.

"Isn't that right? I heard that his son also earns thirty yuan a month."
