Grandpa is not called Cuihua

Chapter 20 The First Pot of Gold

Su Cheng carried the lantern and walked on the road, thinking that he would meet his second brother's family later, so his pace slowed down.But thinking that Liu Niang didn't know what was going on, he had to quicken his pace.Daniel followed behind him without saying a word, really not knowing what to do.

Walking to the gate of the yard, I saw an oil lamp burning in the room, but there was no one by the window, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet.Without the expected noise, the two felt even more disturbed.

"Mother Liu...Mother...where are you..."

The two men hunched over and called in a low voice, for fear of being heard by the people in the room.

"Bosses, Daniel, come and save me!"

Liu Niang was drowsy from the cold in the pit, she seemed to hear Su Cheng's voice in a trance, she listened carefully, it was really him.He didn't have much strength to toss around at first, but now he regained his energy, and hurriedly called out.

"Liu Niang—"

"mother--"

Su Cheng and Daniel's heart skipped a beat, and they immediately ran towards the place where the sound came from.

"Ouch!"

This scream was Daniel's.He ran so fast that he didn't even think that there was a pit in front of him, so he accidentally fell down.Fortunately, Liu Niang was leaning against the edge of the pit, otherwise she would have been knocked unconscious.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Daniu didn't care about the stabbing pain in his ankle, he looked anxiously at Liu Niang, and found that her complexion was very bad.

"I don't know, I'm so dizzy..."

Liu Niang tried her best to shake her head to wake herself up, but who knew that this shaking made her even more dizzy.

"How could Xiuniang—" Doing this would be too much, in case someone gets killed!

Su Cheng couldn't say what happened next, and he himself understood that it was their fault for this matter.Sighing, he turned his head to look for the ladder, and let the person get out first.

"Brother, don't be too busy, let's settle the matter first."

Xiu Niang and a few children appeared behind him at some point, and stopped him, saying, what worries are there when things have developed to this point?At most, the two families will no longer be related.

"Xiu Niang, you are going too far, no matter how wrong Liu Niang is, she is still your sister-in-law!"

Su Cheng was suddenly bumped into the front, coupled with Xiu Niang's bad tone, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and said in a deep voice with the airs of his elder brother.

"The previous melon seedlings cost ten taels of silver. You also know that this is already very reasonable. If you don't want to, then hand over the sister-in-law to the village chief."

Xiu Niang sneered, when he stole the melon seedlings, why didn't he think that even if he was the eldest brother, Liu Niang did it, wouldn't he, the head of the family, not return it?How can such a person be worthy of being a big brother?

"This...you also know that the family has just added cattle, so they can't afford ten taels of silver at all."

Seeing the other party's tough attitude, Su Cheng softened his tone a lot.He didn't want the whole village to know such a shameful thing, otherwise how would they gain a foothold here in the future?He hesitated for a moment and said, he has made some money in the past few years, but he usually likes to drink a little wine, and eats meat every now and then, and tobacco leaves are also not a small expense-money comes quickly, go faster.

"Then write an IOU."

Without blinking, Xiu Niang said firmly.What the big brother and sister-in-law did is really chilling.

"No, they made me like this, and they can't give me a dime!"

Liu Niang understood what she heard in the pit, and immediately yelled in a high-pitched voice, throwing away all dizziness and discomfort.

"It's okay if you don't give it. We'll go to the village chief right now. If we can't solve it, we'll report it to the officials."

Lan Hua pulled Su Mo to make a gesture and walked out. They were determined that they couldn't afford to lose this man.

"Okay, I'll write."

Su Cheng gritted his teeth and agreed that he had seen some of the market, and he wrote a barely understandable IOU with a pen in his hands, and the two parties pressed their fingerprints.

"You wait for me."

Liu Niang crawled out of the pit, pointing at Xiu Niang's family regardless of the runny nose, and said harshly.

"Let's go, don't you feel ashamed enough?"

Su Cheng didn't even look at them, he raised his legs and walked out, feeling suffocated in his heart.

"Mom, let's go!"

Daniel supported Liu Niang and said softly, there was no resentment on his face, but a trace of shame in his eyes.This matter, I obviously did something wrong...

"Just wait, are we afraid of you?"

Lan Hua crossed her hips and yelled back, feeling extremely happy in her heart.

Su Mo looked at their backs as they went away, and knew that this relationship was completely broken, and Liang Zi was officially married.

The Chang Family Merchant Group is located in the southwest corner of the town. The gatehouse is not very tall, unlike those rich and luxurious houses built by rich people, for fear that others will not know that they are rich.Just the four characters of Changjia Merchant Group mean unlimited wealth.

"Please wait a moment, I'll report back to the manager."

The guys in the business group enthusiastically led the guests into the hall, although they were only women and children.

Su Mo sat quietly on the wooden chair, took a sip of tea, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.The color of this tea is emerald green, the soup color is bright and clear, it is actually a top-grade tea.Serve ordinary guests with such tea?Really generous!However, along with it, Su Mo's favorability towards this business group has gradually increased.

After a while, the manager walked out quickly, with a smile on his face—"You guys want to sell melon seedlings, right?"

To be honest, thirty melon seedlings is not too much, and it is not a big deal for such a business group.But this steward has such a sincere attitude, as if you are his most important guest.

When Su Mo saw the person coming, he estimated in his heart—it was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, about forty years old, dressed in ordinary cloth, but his words and deeds had a certain dignity.In such a small town, being able to gather such a person, coupled with what he had seen before - he couldn't help being a little curious about the owner of the business group.

"Yes, it is……"

Xiu Niang hurriedly stood up, after all, she was a woman who didn't go out very much, so she was unavoidably flustered seeing this kind of scene.What's more, she has never done business before.I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak clearly.

Seeing this, Su Mo took over and said, "This is the melon seedling we brought."

Zhang Guanshi noticed this child as soon as he entered the door. He had an unspeakable temperament, which was very different from the children of ordinary farmers.

At this time, seeing that although he spoke with a childish air, his words and deeds were quite steady, and he couldn't help but be amazed.Not only this child, but the man in this family?How can a woman come out and show her face?Furthermore, where did this melon seedling come from?However, even though he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, he still smiled and said——

"According to the market price, one tree is 15 Wen, and the total is [-] taels."

He carefully inspected the melon seedlings, and found that the plants were relatively large, and the roots and leaves were still intact. Overall, it was not bad, so he simply gave the price.

"thanks, thanks……"

It was the first time in Xiuniang's life that she got so much money, her hands were shaking when she took it, and she said in a loud voice.

"You deserve it."

Manager Zhang saw off the guest with a smile, and couldn't help but take another look at the child before leaving.

After leaving the gatehouse of the merchant group, Xiuniang let out a long breath and completely relaxed.

Lan Hua cheered, shook Xiu Niang's arm and said, "Mom, let's go eat some good food!"

It was the first time that Su Mo had earned so much money, and Su Mo couldn't hide his excitement. He couldn't help showing joy on his face, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

With this distraction, he didn't pay attention to watching the road, and bumped into the oncoming person.

Su Mo raised his head, and saw a young man's face like a crown of jade, with handsome eyebrows and fine eyes. Although he hadn't opened yet, he could imagine that he must be a rare handsome man in the future.It's a pity that the expression between the eyebrows and eyes is too shallow, coupled with the thin lips, the whole person looks a little cold and heartless.

At this time, those beautiful eyes were looking at Su Mo, but no emotion could be seen from those plain eyes.
