Liu Yunniang was grabbed by Su Qingluan's wrist and looked back. Seeing the expression on Su Qingluan's face change drastically and slowly turning pale, he knew that she had gone astray.
"Don't worry, my dad is fine."
"But you this morning..." Su Qingluan's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid that if she made a louder voice, she would wake him up.
Liu Yuniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I said daddy's leg is not healed, but there is no reason why it has suddenly deteriorated, right?"
The corner of Su Qingluan's mouth twitched and she muttered in her heart: Then you have never told how scary it is when the venous blood clots in the lower limbs suddenly fall off.
In her previous life, when Su Qingluan was receiving treatment in the oncology department, she had seen him stay in bed for a long time due to various reasons more than once. As soon as he was able to get out of bed, he started to move like a mad rabbit. As a result, he ignored the doctor's advice and insisted on moving back and forth without treatment, which caused the deep vein thrombosis to fall off.
The shedding of blood clots also depends on luck. If you are lucky, if the thrombus is relatively small or stuck in the peripheral circulatory system, there may not be much of a problem. At most, it will be varicose veins or local necrosis.
But it's not like Su Qingluan has never seen an unlucky guy, who suffered a pulmonary venous emboli and went all the way west.
Su Qingluan was confused in her heart, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense. After all, everything was about luck and so on. If she was just adding trouble here, wouldn't she be cursing her father?
"Uncle Liu's legs and feet haven't been feeling very well lately, isn't it because he can't live without people?" Su Qingluan looked at Liu Yunniang, "Isn't it okay for you to come out like this?"
"My mother is at home today." Liu Yunniang smiled and waved her hand, "I have to buy mutton and pig head meat, oh, and there are also fresh live fish. I won't die when I get home."
Su Qingluan was stunned: "Are you having a visitor?" As far as she knew, although the Liu family's life was not as tight as before with her overt and covert help, it was also because they had been treated in Huichun Hall all year round. Not generous.
What high-ranking guest is worthy of such a heavy blood loss from the Liu family? This is both fish and meat, both of which are not cheap for ordinary families.
When Liu Yunniang heard what Su Qingluan said, she first glanced left and right, then stepped forward and whispered in Su Qingluan's ear: "Let me tell you, the master won't let us talk about the specific things. It won’t work anymore. It’s just a good thing. Once the evil is broken, my dad’s leg will be healed!”
After speaking, he patted Su Qingluan's arm to express comfort.
Although Su Qingluan was confused when she heard these words, she caught a few key words: master, breaking evil, ineffective...
Could this be...?
Su Qingluan narrowed her eyes dangerously: since time traveling, her atheism has actually been challenged to a certain extent. But it only stays at the level of "believing in the existence of souls" and "believing that people can be reincarnated."
But if you can't hear the twists and turns in Liu Yunniang's words, then it's not her beliefs that are being challenged, but her IQ.
Su Qingluan sneered in his heart: If this "master" is the kind of person who specializes in teasing the powerful like Yu Ji, even if he defrauds some money, it will only be a drop in the bucket for these people. It only adds to the conversation and can be treated as fun. treat; regard
However, the Liu family was already living a tight life. Recently, the head of the family, Liu Sheng, had been ill again and the family had spent a lot of money. How could they withstand this kind of deception and abduction? !
In line with the principle of not letting her friends fall into the trap, Su Qingluan rolled her eyes and grabbed Liu Yunniang's wrist: "Yunniang, I have never seen a dance show before, and you have to buy so many things. It’s hard to get it yourself, isn’t it? If the fish is guaranteed to be fresh, it will be quite capable of jumping..."
Liu Yunniang is a person with a straightforward and resolute personality, but she has a personality trait, that is, she is soft-spoken rather than tough.
If Su Qingluan insists on following her, she will definitely refuse. But Su Qingluan kept telling her "good Yunniang" and "good sister" like this, Liu Yunniang gradually became lost, and then she nodded and agreed to let Su Qingluan follow her to her home.
But Liu Yunniang looked back and forth: "What are you doing here? You don't need to tell the uncle and aunt of the Su family?"
Su Qingluan had been worried that her friend would be cheated, and then she remembered that she had another problem. Fortunately, I have almost finished moving my bottles and cans.
Su Qingluan pointed to the shop: "I'm moving things here, please wait a moment."
Like a rabbit, she ran to the two young men and the coachman who had just bought the car. Su Qingluan asked them: "Is the work done?"
One of the boys wiped the sweat from his head: "Don't worry, little lady, we're done!"
Su Qingluan turned around and waved her hand to Liu Yunniang, who had followed her, and said: "Yunniang, there is nothing to clean up here. You can just move a stool or find a pleasant place to sit and wait for me for a while. I will be there soon!"
After saying that, he first paid the money to the owner of the car and let him leave, and then neatly took out the deed of sale: "Here, you two, go to the government later and cancel your slave status. You can do whatever you want."
The two teenagers obviously did not expect Su Qingluan to do this and were stunned.
Su Qingluan was already used to this kind of reaction - after all, after she bought what these people called "goods" in the past, she let them work on the front foot, and released her on the back foot under the deed of betrayal.
Seeing that they were still standing there stupidly, she smiled and waved them away: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? I gave you today's wages, which is enough for you to eat for three to five days. You don't lack arms or legs, you can be anywhere." You can take care of food and accommodation as an apprentice, so what are you doing here? I don't have that much money to pay you for a long time."
In fact, it was because Su Qingluan could get used to the "hiring" method of letting others do work, but he was still not used to the "buying a slave" method, which always felt weird.
Su Qingluan didn't care either - there was a serious generation gap even though she was born more than ten or twenty years apart. As a modern person, she traveled to ancient times that were separated by hundreds of years. The generation gap was not something to be ignored. There are "thousands of ravines and ravines".
Therefore, Su Qingluan is not obsessed with why she cannot integrate well into this era - her generation gap is too serious, and it is normal that she cannot integrate well. As long as the laws related to survival in this era are not violated, Su Qingluan feels that he can do whatever he feels comfortable with. Anyway, behind closed doors, no one cares about how he lives his life.
After dealing with the affairs of these two little slaves, Su Qingluan turned around and locked the backyard door and the front door. She turned to Liu Yunniang who was waiting aside and smiled: "Yunniang, let's go. If nothing else, choose these. You have to ask me about the ingredients!"
Liu Yunniang walked next to Su Qingluan, glanced at her secretly, and asked: "Have you... always been like this?"
"What does 'this' mean?" Su Qingluan didn't know why.
Liu Yunniang pointed to the direction in which the two slaves were leaving: "These two are not disabled, and they are still men. You spent a lot of money to buy them back, right? Why did you give them a bond of sale?" The expression clearly said: You are like this The business suffered a huge loss.
Su Qingluan did not intend to tell Liu Yunniang that she was not used to "using" men and women who were also human beings as servants, because Liu Yunniang did not feel malicious or looked down upon others to think that she had lost money by "buying and releasing" a slave.
It's not natural for her to want to boss others around, it's just that in this era human trafficking is a "common" or even "reasonable and legal" thing. If children were not sold, many families would starve to death. Su Qingluan has never met face to face since time travel. It's not that he hasn't heard of it, and it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
What's more, there is no concept of "personal equality" in this era. Even if Su Qingluan explains it, the other party may not be able to understand it.
So Su Qingluan could only give a seemingly reasonable reason: "My family is still in the village, so calling a slave like this is too eye-catching. Besides, I am a woman. Even if I buy a slave, I still want a little girl."
This is not a complete lie. Su Qingluan really wants to "buy" a few little girls to take with him as maids, and wait for them to grow up before finding them a proper family. Otherwise, girls who are "sold" these days will either go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion or be sold as a girl, and their future will depend entirely on good luck.
However, now Su Qingluan does not have the manpower to train himself leisurely, so he still needs to prepare this batch of trial products for Xie Mansion - but what is more important than that is the "master" of the Liu family in front of him.
Along the way, Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang visited several meat and fish stalls.
The Su family's sewer soup has become very famous during this time, so these vendors are all very familiar with Su Qingluan.
There is a saying that "leave a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future." These stall owners are also good people.
If they see a passing or unfamiliar face, they will take out the scraps or unsaleable defective products and sell them with the idea of "one-time sale".
If you meet an expert and cannot sell the defective goods, then you will take out the goods of good quality and charge 10% to 20% more than usual, which is called "killing".
But Su Qingluan has become so familiar that everyone looks up but does not look down. What's more, she is also an expert in selecting ingredients, so it soon became that Su Qingluan was in front of her and got the freshest ingredients neatly, whizzing by like a wind and lingering clouds, while Liu Yunniang seemed to have transformed into a person who only knows how to pay and take. The little follower of the goods.
"This fish is not happy enough, and there is blood on its scales. It looks like it will not live long."
"Why does the meat still seep when you press it? You didn't put water in it, did you?"
"Oh, I look at that piece of mutton stuck to the cutting board and it doesn't slide off even if it is placed at an angle. The color is fresh and tender. It looks good. This is it!"
Three times five times two times, in just half an hour, in addition to the chicken, duck, fish and meat that I originally planned to buy, I even bought all the vegetables that will be served today and tomorrow.
Little stars appeared in Liu Yunniang's eyes: "Qingluan, the meat and vegetables you bought are fresher than when I bought them, and the price is cheaper!"
"Because I know how many tricks these people use to fool the guests," Su Qingluan turned around and smiled, "and everyone knows the ingredients and prices clearly, so they can't fool me."
