After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute
Chapter 24 Unknown Disaster
Shitou endured the pain in his body, and he and Su's mother Liu Huan supported each other to go home, and went into the next room with Liu Huan.
Father Su had been looking forward to it for a long time, thinking that no one would buy the tofu, and anxiously waited in bed for his wife and children to bring good news.
Hearing the noise outside, he said, "Why are you here so late today? Is the tofu not selling well?"
Mother Su smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, and went in with a pained look on her face. "It's selling well. We sold out a long time ago. But we met the county magistrate, who said he liked our tofu and asked a few more questions. He will come back to buy more tomorrow."
Father Su believed it and tears welled up in his eyes. "That's great! When I recover, I'll turn the millstone and we can make a living from this."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Shitou and the other boy were not there: "Where are the two children?"
Su's mother turned her back to him, resisting the urge to cry and said, "She's next door. She said she got up too early and wanted to catch up on some sleep."
Father Su had no doubts and asked Mother Su to help him onto the stool: "That's the way it should be. The child is still young and can grow taller while sleeping. Bring the beans in and I'll pick them."
There will be a lot of stones and bad beans mixed in, which cannot be washed out. Father Su knew that this job would be his from now on.
Next door, Liu Huan followed behind Shitou and said seriously, "Shitou, take off your clothes quickly so I can see where you're hurt."
Stone's face instantly turned red, and he was very embarrassed: "No, I'm not hurt."
Liu Huan didn't waste time talking to him. He took off his clothes and saw that his back was covered with bruises. He covered his mouth in pain and said, "Shi Tou, does it hurt?"
Shitou, who was originally shy, saw the pain in her eyes, and that shyness turned into warmth, "It doesn't hurt, don't worry, I'm a man, this injury is nothing."
Liu Huan took the medicine from last night and applied it on him. After it dried, he let him put on his clothes. "Those beasts were really too cruel. Bullying the weak is nothing."
Shitou held her hand, stroking the red marks left by helping him, and said sincerely, "When we grow up, we won't be bullied anymore."
If it were someone else, Liu Huan might think that it was just empty talk, but for Shi Tou, she believed in it completely.
In his memory, he was vindictive and hated his enemies, including the original owner. But he was very tolerant of the people around him, especially his wife, and treated them with respect and never took concubines...
Wait, why think so much?
That is his business. My duty is to curry favor with him. After he gets married, I will leave and travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Zhou Kingdom to see if it can be consistent with my previous life.
Thinking of this, she changed the subject: "I didn't expect the county magistrate to be so young and give you a jade pendant. With this jade pendant, I believe we won't be bullied when we set up a stall in the future.
Shitou took out the jade pendant and examined it carefully. There was only one word "Song" engraved on it.
The next day when I went to set up the stall, I heard the customers say:
"Boss, you don't know that the people who bullied you yesterday have been imprisoned. I heard that the whole family of the pavilion chief has been arrested. The cellar of the pavilion chief's house is full of gold."
When Su's mother heard this, she felt very happy. "Really? That's really the case. How much do you want today?"
"Give me a pound. This stuff won't last long. It tastes better fresh."
"Okay, take one pound." Su's mother didn't look affected at all, and she chatted and laughed with the customer.
After all, it was the autumn harvest, and Su's mother was thinking about the peppers and chickens at home, which were also an important source of income for the Su family. After thinking it over, she decided to go back.
Liu Huan had no objection, she also missed her brother and sister.
The two of them made the tofu that day and had Shitou carry it to the stall the next day. Because of Su's father, he had to stay, so he was the one who sold the tofu.
Then they went to buy some pork and Liu Huan bought some candied haws, and then they went to the city gate to wait for the villagers.
There were very few people at the market this time, and everyone had a sad face. Su's mother hurriedly asked what had happened.
"I don't know what happened this summer. It hasn't rained for two months. The peppers that were supposed to grow well are now all dry. It's so abnormal."
Liu Huan listened to Aunt Lian's words and tried hard to recall.
The original owner's memories of when he was six years old were vague, including the death of Su's father.
Also in the year when Su's father's leg was hit by a wild boar, there was no rain from the end of summer to the following summer, so crops could not be planted. All the family's money was used to buy medicine, leaving no money to buy expensive food.
He felt guilty every day and hanged himself in order not to burden his family.
Even though he was dead, the original owner still said, "Since you are going to die anyway, why don't you die early? You won't have any money left to buy food."
The original owner was only six years old at that time. It turns out that some people are born bad.
After the recollection ended, she continued to listen to Aunt Lian:
"And you don't know, those things in the deep mountains have been coming down frequently recently, there are quite a few of them, and no one can defeat them. I don't know what to do in the future."
Su's mother was also worried, and the two of them kept talking about what had happened in the past ten days along the way.
After entering the mountains, the sounds stopped abruptly and everyone unconsciously quickened their pace. Liu Huan heard the sound of a wolf and subconsciously turned around. He saw a gray wolf sitting on the top of the mountain, watching them from afar.
She was so scared that she turned around quickly, and for the first time she hated her good eyesight.
I didn't notice it in town, but when I came back I realized it was even more serious than what Aunt Lian said.
When we entered the Thatched Village, we saw that the leaves of the peppers had all dried up, and even the grass on the roadside was wilted.
It was already afternoon, and the air was still sultry. The water level in the only ditch in the village had dropped significantly.
No rain means that new seeds and vegetables cannot be planted, and wild boars and wolves in the mountains will also come down to find water to drink.
I remember that several people were eaten by wolves that winter.
The situation in the town was even worse than in the mountain village. Most of the families in the town did not grow crops and only bought a little at a time. Later, when the price of food rose, people started to scramble for food. There were many people who starved to death or were beaten to death for grabbing food.
Many people were displaced.
The Su family was able to survive later on because of the black flour dry food that Shitou got from somewhere, which they ate once a day.
He was so thin that he was just skin and bones. It took several years to recover.
Because it has been a long time, I can't remember clearly what happened in between.
She was thinking about this all the way until Xiaoshi called her.
"Huanhuan, what are you thinking about? I called you for a long time but you didn't hear me."
Liu Huan stepped forward and held him, the gloom on his face disappeared, "Brother, I miss you so much, do you miss me?"
Xiao Shi's eyes were clear and bright, and Liu Huan could see himself through his eyes. "I miss you so much that I can't even enjoy my meals."
Cao Er exposed him: "You don't enjoy eating, but you have to eat two bowls every day. It's only been a few days since we last met, and you're still eating. Come in and eat."
