The letter only said that this woman was Mu Xingzhi's subordinate, a trustworthy person, and knew Mu Xingzhi's identity. Moreover, she came here to stay for a while as a "relative".
The letter was very short, but at the end, it mentioned a seemingly unrelated sentence: That hairpin has been broken twice, don’t break it again.
This incident was actually just a small thing that happened when Su Qingluan took off her braid, but Su Qingluan understood Mu Xingzhi's intention when he wrote this sentence: only Mu Xingzhi and her knew about this matter, and even they were not familiar with it. Bo Ye didn't know that, apart from Su Qingluan himself, the only person who could mention the details of this matter was Mu Xingzhi.
After all, in this era, it is possible for handwriting to be counterfeited, but it is difficult to know in advance something that only two people know about.
Su Qingluan collected the letter and heard the donkey outside starting to bray.
Anyone who has heard a donkey bray should know that a donkey's braying is particularly unpleasant, harsh and penetrating, a bit like the harsh sound left by heavy steel bars being dragged on the ground.
In short, the main theme is a creepy one, which will cause extreme discomfort to the ears and nerves if listened to too much.
Although Yaoguang sister said that she would deal with the donkey by herself later, Su Qingluan really couldn't stand the magical sound of the donkey braying outside, so she decided to deal with this source of noise pollution first.
"If you don't mind, how about I go to the neighbor's barn to let the donkey out? In this cold weather, even if the donkey is more frost-resistant, leaving it outside is not an option." Su Qingluan turned to Yaoguang. said.
After all, this is someone else's donkey cart. Even if you have a proper way to deal with it, you still have to ask for the other person's opinion.
Sister Yaoguang obviously still had some baggage on her, so she nodded very reservedly: "Then there's Miss Laosu."
After saying the words "Miss Su", she silently glanced at Su Qingluan's reaction.
Su Qingluan's reaction was... There was no special reaction. He turned around, put on a big cloak, put on the hat on the cloak, covered himself tightly except for his eyes, opened the door and went out.
As for the word "Miss Su" that Yaoguang emphasized, she didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
It's not that Su Qingluan was born with a big head - although she was really big when she wanted to be big - but she never thought there was anything wrong with the title "Miss Su".
After all, according to modern thinking, her surname is Su, so it is completely normal for others to call her "Miss Su" or "Ms. Su".
Naturally, Yaoguang didn't understand the deep-rooted modern thinking in Su Qingluan's mind. She just found it strange that she deliberately called the other person's name according to the name when they were single, but the other party didn't react at all.
But when Su Qingluan opened the door and went out, she was hit by the cold wind that carried dead branches and fallen leaves and snow foam on the ground.
"..." In this kind of weather, she actually walked for two-quarters of an hour to get ingredients from home. She worked hard to eat.
Although Huaxi Village is not particularly wealthy overall, there are still a few households with large livestock.
Of course, don't even think about tall horses. Not to mention ordinary farmers, even slightly affluent families may not have those things - after all, raising horses is a big project. In addition to the forage itself, the horse racing venues are also large. question.
This is like Hyundai without a certain degree of family wealth. Even if they can afford to buy a luxury car, ordinary people will not do so, because after buying a car, various insurance and maintenance costs are not low, and they can easily The annual expenses of tens to millions are lost if we sprinkle water.
Therefore, for a well-off family, even if they can afford a luxury car, the maintenance fees cannot be afforded, which is too expensive.
What's more, just like a car depreciates as soon as you buy it, so does a horse.
But horses are even less cost-effective than cars in terms of "depreciation rate". After all, various parts on the car can be replaced and any problems can be repaired.
However, although the lifespan of a horse is more than 20 years, its peak period when it can really be used as a "big livestock" is only about ten years, and the price/performance ratio is really too low.
For this reason, even people with a little wealth usually don't like to raise horses. This is one of the reasons why donkey carts, mule carts and sheep carts are more common.
There are several households in the village that raise cattle and sheep. These are considered large animals and have special livestock sheds. Even worse, there are pigs. Although the smell of the pig pens is a bit stinky, at least the donkeys have a place to stay, so they won't freeze to death at night in the cold weather.
Su Qingluan wandered around for a while before going to Tian Xing'er's house. Her house had a cowshed, and she was relatively familiar with Su Qingluan.
Although he had a good relationship with Tian Xing'er, Su Qingluan had always been a one-size-fits-all kind of person. Asking others to help could never be in vain, so Su Qingluan paid twenty taels of silver in advance, which was regarded as the donkey's "shack fee" and "fodder fee". ".
Tian Xing'er's parents originally wanted to refuse, but Tian Xing'er knew Su Qingluan's temperament and asked her parents to accept the money, and then pulled Su Qingluan into the house to chat for a while.
"I heard that Mr. Mu has a cousin here?" Tian Xing'er looked at Su Qingluan and held her hand, her eyes full of vigilance.
Su Qingluan didn't seem to notice her nervousness at all. He nodded and said curiously: "It's only been less than half a day, right? Where did you hear that?"
"Who doesn't know that such a big donkey cart is parked at Grandma Li's door?" Tian Xing'er sneered.
Su Qingluan suddenly realized: Huaxi Village is such a palm-sized place. If something happens, the whole village will know about it within a day. What's more, not even a fly flies in front of Grandma Li's door all year round. Suddenly there is such a thing. With the two cars parked there, there must be a lot of people coming to inquire.
"The news spread so fast!" Su Qingluan sighed.
Tian Xing'er looked at Su Qingluan as if she were a fool: "How come you are still leisurely and leisurely and not in a hurry?"
Su Qingluan was stunned by Tian Xing'er's expression of hating iron for not becoming steel: "What am I in a hurry for?"
Tian Xing'er lowered her eyes and glanced at Su Qingluan's lower abdomen: "You have been married to Mr. Mu for several months, and there is still no movement in your stomach. There is another cousin over there. I heard she looks very good. She's also very beautiful...haven't you ever heard, 'cousin, cousin, made for each other'?"
Su Qingluan...she ran away.
What kind of cousin is a perfect match? Su Qingluan said that Tian's sister is a girl, are you thinking too much? This girl's painting style was clearly that of an innocent girl before, so why does she suddenly look crooked? Or is it because she is getting married soon?
Su Qingluan was very speechless: Let's not say that she and Mu Xingzhi were just a plastic couple on the surface, let's just say that the Yaoguang girl was not just a "cousin"!
