Halfway through the meal, the faint sound of cow braying could be heard, and Su Laoer picked his ears.
"Why do I hear the sound of cows braying?"
"I heard it too." Su Sheng said.
Su Yu swallowed the food in his mouth.
"I forgot to tell you, I bought a cow when I went to town today, and also bought a bullock cart. It's tied up in the backyard now."
"What! Girl, why did you go to the street and buy a cow?"
"It's the autumn harvest at home. I saw my father and my eldest brother working very hard pulling carts. I happened to meet him today. The cow was not bad, so I bought it. The cow was worth buying. The seller wanted eight taels, so I bought it. It cost six taels, and the oxcart cost one tael, and the total cost was only seven taels."
The family was not in the mood to eat right now, so they finished their meal and went to the backyard to look at the cows.
Su Laoer walked around the cow twice.
"Daughter, you have really good taste. This cow is a good buy."
"I thought so too. I might not be able to find such a good one next time, so I bought it. Dad, you don't think I'm making random decisions, do you?"
"No, when it comes to bargaining, my daughter can do it. It saves the family another two taels of silver."
Su Sheng also looked around the cow. Although he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, he felt that the cow was quite energetic.
"It's not dark yet. Brother Sheng, you and I can go cut some grass for the cow and feed it to us. We'll have to rely on it to pull the cart tomorrow."
Su Sheng responded, and the father and son took the sickles and went out. After a while, each of them carried a large bale of grass on his shoulders, which was enough for the cows to eat for the next day.
The Su family was happy. At the village chief's house, Yang was talking to the village chief about Su Yu's words.
"The daughter of the Su family is acting very hard today. She just bought a cow when she was told to buy it. She took out the six taels of silver without blinking an eye. She was also very arrogant. She knew that the money should not be left in one place. Then she went to buy the cow. Car, took out a tael of silver from her shoe, what do you think she thought? Su Laoer and his wife really doted on their daughter too much. How could such an older person put so much money on her? What if? What should I do if I lose it?”
The village chief witnessed Su Laoer doting on his daughter with his own eyes. Hearing what his old wife said, he wasn't too surprised. The girl was really over-indulged by the couple. In his opinion, if he talked about his daughter, Su Laoer would not listen to him, and he didn't bother to make others uncomfortable.
"I'll pamper my daughter as much as I want, but she's not our daughter anyway. I just want others to listen to me."
When Yang saw her old man's attitude, she knew that the Su family really doted on their daughter. Well, she had nothing to say and just went to sleep.
The next day, when Su Laoer's family drove the ox cart to the fields, the villagers were surprised to see them.
"Second brother, when did your family buy a bullock cart?"
"Yesterday, my daughter went to the town to buy it. My daughter is very good. I bought this cow for sixty taels of silver."
The villager who asked this question really wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why do you say you are so talkative? Look at Su Laoer's behavior. His daughter had the guts to go to the town and bought a cow and came back. She didn't even beat her up, and she was so proud of it. If it were my daughter, her legs would have been broken long ago.
"Second brother, I'm not telling you that this spoiled girl must have a certain temperament. From now on, she won't all belong to other people's families."
Before Su Laoer could say anything, Mrs. Lian on the side quit.
"His uncle, my daughter doesn't want to get married. I will find a son-in-law for her in the future, so you won't have to worry about her all the time."
The villager who spoke was kindly reminding him, but Lian choked him and his expression turned bad. He is really kind-hearted and treats a girl like a donkey. He spoils a girl and turns it into a treasure. He also recruits a son-in-law. That son and daughter-in-law can agree.
"Uncle, if you are still busy, go to the fields first."
Su Laoer hurriedly drove the bullock cart to leave, fearing that his mother would say something unpleasant, but when he thought about what his mother said just now, he had never thought about finding a son-in-law for his daughter. This was really a good idea. idea.
Su Sheng pretended not to hear it. Anyway, what he said at home didn't count.
Mrs. Lian took Su Yu's hand and touched her head lovingly.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, fish. You can live your life however you want."
Su Yu was moved no matter what, her parents were really the best parents in the world.
"Well, I understand, mother."
In fact, what Su Yu didn't know was that before Su Yu was born, Mrs. Lian felt that her life would be like this. Although her father protected her, he could only stay at home for several hours a day. She will always live in the beatings and scoldings of her mother-in-law. Either she will torture her to death first, or she will be tortured to death by her mother-in-law.
But everything has changed since my daughter was born and could walk. In the past, when her mother-in-law beat and scolded her, her four or five-year-old son would stand by and watch. But my daughter was different. She just couldn't talk when her mother-in-law scolded her. She knew how to step forward to protect her as a mother. I still remember the first time my daughter spoke. That day, because of a trivial matter, her mother-in-law pinched her. The little daughter stepped forward and pushed her mother-in-law, and said a bad word in her mouth. She just looked at her mother-in-law. At that time, she felt, Being able to give birth to such a daughter in this life is worth dying for.
The older my daughter grows, the more she protects her. Whenever she sees her mother-in-law beating or scolding her, her daughter will protect her in front of her. I don’t know how many beatings she received because of this. She knew that she was weak and dared not resist. Her daughter could be said to be her pillar of support in the old house. The last time she had a miscarriage, if her daughter had not secretly found the father of the child, she would have died.
So growing up, her daughter could do whatever she wanted, and she never cared. People in Wangjia Village used to say that her daughter had a strong personality and would suffer hardship if she married into someone else's family. But she has a soft personality. What kind of life was she living when she married into the Su family? Mrs. Lian thought very broadly. Being strong had its advantages, and it was better than letting others bully her like this.
Even Su Laoer didn't know what Lian was thinking.
Because the Su family had an extra bullock cart, the whole family was particularly active in working. However, they had only been working for more than an hour when a villager came looking for them. The person following behind the villager was either the cattle shopkeeper or someone else.
"Miss Su, it's easy for me to find her."
"Business Manager Niu, why are you here? If you have anything to do, just let the guy talk to you."
"It's a bit urgent and I want to talk to Miss Su."
Shopkeeper Niu looked around. The villagers in the fields on both sides of Su's house were all pricking up their ears, wanting to hear what they were talking about. Su Yu also saw it.
The three people working in the Su family were some distance away from Su Yu. When they saw shopkeeper Niu, they all put down their work and walked over.
"Business Manager Niu, why are you here? This is not the place to talk. You haven't been to my house yet. Come and sit at home."
"My dear, you and Brother Sheng go ahead and I'll go home with my daughter."
"Go ahead."
This was the first time Shopkeeper Niu came to the Su family, and he was a little surprised when he saw the house where the Su family lived. Previously, the clerk said that the conditions of the Su family were average, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Su Yu went to make tea. The tea was given to his father by shopkeeper Niu last time.
After Su Yu came and sat down, Shopkeeper Niu took a sip of tea and then revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Brother Su, Miss Su, our Taihe Building is in urgent need of a large number of ducks. We sent 10,000 duck eggs earlier. I heard that the number of ducks that came out in the end was more than 6,000. This is not enough. My boss got me another 20,000 ducks. A duck egg, it will arrive in a few days."
"The cattle manager has also seen it. It may take some time to start hatching duck eggs. Now is the busy time of farming. My family is busy with the work in the fields and is busy hatching duck eggs."
"Don't worry, Miss Su, these are all small things. I'll have someone come over to help tomorrow."
"How embarrassing."
