The magistrate's daughter is like the stars in the sky, while people like me are like dog's tail grass growing out of the mud.
After Zhang was shocked, she looked at Su Ruyi and suddenly felt that her whole body was emitting the light of the stars in the sky. Her mind was so confused that she no longer cared about asking how Su Ruyi made money.
Anyway, there must be plenty of ways for people to make money!
Su Ruyi was hungry. She only ate two steamed buns on the way. She was not full, and she was already hungry after walking such a long way.
When I went to the kitchen, I saw that the soup in the pot was indeed clear and lacked water.
Mrs. Zhang followed with a spoon, "There are too many people today, and this rice is not enough!"
Li Baozhu also came in: "Mom, Ruyi brought buns back from Tongzhou for everyone."
Su Ruyi: "We don't have enough buns, so we should make more rice so that everyone will be full tonight. Mom, can you stew the bones tonight? Stew some meat and let everyone have a taste!"
Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, as if she was having a difficult struggle in her mind, and finally looked at Su Ruyi: "Just do it as you say!"
She suddenly remembered that Su Ruyi was the head of the family.
Let her be the one, the Lu family is just a pile of rags, no matter how bad it is, it can't get any worse.
Su Ruyi chuckled and ran over to flatter her: "Mom, that's the best! Let's stew it tonight. Fresh mutton won't be so delicious tomorrow -"
Mrs. Zhang: "Okay, okay, let's just stew. Anyway, I'm no longer a family member!"
Zhang said this with a bit of anger, but more relaxed.
She truly let go of her burdens and handed over the livelihood of her family to others. Her brows seemed to suddenly relax, and her old arms and legs were no longer so heavy.
There was no food in the pot yet, and the brown rice was half-cooked. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took out the rice grains, poured them into a bowl and poured them into the pot to cook.
Su Ruyi saw this posture and waited for the rice porridge to be cooked. She was still thinking about drinking the mutton soup and said: "Mom, I will go to the yard to use the iron boiler I brought back today and cook the mutton soup." Stew the bones."
"Hey-"
Mrs. Zhang shouted at the top of her lungs: "Leave it alone, that Xinxin pot needs oil and water first! I'll do it!"
She ignored the kitchen and handed it over to her two daughters-in-law. She wiped her body with wet hands, then turned around and took a knife to cut off a piece of fat from the palm-sized piece of mutton she brought back.
"Da Lang? Da Lang, take firewood and light the stove outside -"
The elder man was leading his younger brothers and sisters around the stove, and he was so happy that it seemed that the rough stove was a rare treasure.
Hearing his grandma's voice, he happily agreed, her voice clear and resonant.
Several children were busy helping, some were holding firewood, and others were looking for fire starters. Five-year-old Xing'er ran to the kitchen to get flint on her short legs, screaming anxiously for fear of being beaten by her brothers. Stealing his own job.
Idiot was also happy. He lay on the ground and looked at this big and bulky new guy curiously.
"The children have never been so noisy..."
Li Baozhu said softly, with a slight smile on his face.
"yes."
Liu Cuier also lamented that if she heard the children chattering like this in the past, she would have been furious. She would have been upset, and she would have been even more upset when they quarreled. Today, she feels that it is not bad at all for the children to be noisy, and they are happy.
She looked outside and said, "Mom is also happy today. I haven't seen her so happy for a long time."
Li Baozhu pursed her lips and suddenly found that she and her sister-in-law could also talk, and she felt a little more happy.
The children gathered around the stove to light the fire. Su Ruyi was afraid of hurting Dan'er, so she picked him up from the ground.
Dan'er twisted around and was unhappy.
Mrs. Zhang scolded: "What's wrong with your mother hugging you? Stop making trouble!"
Dan'er was a little confused and stared at grandma stupidly.
In the past, when this woman hugged him, grandma ran the fastest, but now...
His mouth tightened and he cried.
Su Ruyi: "..."
"If Dan'er doesn't cry, she's my mother -"
Su Ruyi couldn't coax the child well even though she was rocking back and forth. Instead, she cried even harder.
"Wow wow wow——"
The lung capacity of a child is really not comparable to that of an adult, and the penetration power is even stronger than that of an adult.
"Don't cry, mother will give you candy!"
It can only be tempting.
This trick worked, the little guy heard it, sobbed and stopped crying, staring straight at her with a pair of not very clever eyes.
Not only Dan'er, but the children surrounding the stove also heard the key words accurately——
sugar!
They all turned their heads, but soon realized that it was not good, so they turned back and went about their own business silently.
Third Aunt said she would give Dan'er some sweets, but she didn't say give them to them. She couldn't stare at Third Aunt, it was impolite.
Su Ruyi smiled at the backs of the little guys and said, "They are all there. Third aunt has brought them all for you!"
Dalang raised his head and said seriously: "Third Aunt, we haven't finished eating what you gave us last time..."
"Then you will share it with everyone tonight, and I will give it to you tomorrow!"
The children cheered.
Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You can just make do with them and buy candies every time. You have more money!"
There was a smile in his eyes.
She glanced towards the courtyard wall. It was so lively here, the Luo family must have heard it, right?
Thinking of this, she raised her voice: "Da Lang, turn on the fire and come to our house to eat meat tonight!"
"Okay! Grandma, I'm burning up!"
Su Ruyi reminded: "You all stand still with the stove open. Don't touch the stove, it will burn your hands!"
The children shouted again: "Okay--"
Su Ruyi held Dan'er close to her mother-in-law and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Raising your voice for no reason must be intentional.
Mrs. Zhang spat to the side: "I'm just telling the Luo family, I want them to know that our family will eat meat tonight!"
"Mom, what happened these days when I was not at home?"
"It's okay! What else can happen? The white-eyed wolves of the Luo family thought that we had fewer family members, and thought that our family would be easier to bully! Bah!"
At this point, Mrs. Zhang frowned: "When people ask me these days, they all say that you went back to your parents' home..."
Su Ruyi: "The two sisters-in-law told me, and I said that I went back to my parents' house to ask for money, and I said that I asked my parents-in-law for this pot and stove." "
Zhang's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Either... or you still said that you went to Tongzhou? That you met Miss Yang and made money in Tongzhou... Forget it, let's not say that. Those people's opinions She is very small, who knows whether to believe it or not..."
She was a little frustrated. It was something she could show off with her head held high, but Ruyi was a woman. She still knew the virtues of most people in the village, and she was never willing to believe that a woman could earn a lot by running away in just a few days. So much money.
Who knows what nasty remarks will come out later.
Su Ruyi said seriously: "Mom, let's just say that I went back to my parents' house to ask for money! This is the best way to say it."
