If Zhou Shitou did not succeed, everyone would say that he was inferior to a five or six-year-old little girl. Furthermore, people would say that he did not teach well, and would say that he was inferior to a High Scholar's master's daughter. This made him extremely angry and resentful. However, he also realized that the situation was not right, so after leaving in a dejected manner, he turned around and entered the mountain.
The villagers all knew the back of the mountain very well. Especially a half-grown man who liked to play hero in a distant place. Zhou Shitou was no exception. The snakes hibernate in the cave all this winter, but wake up in warm places. Of course, waking up was to eat. Biting someone was a must. He didn't believe it. If he brought a grass snake back and put it in the stinky girl's place, how could she not be afraid! In any case, that Grass Snake wasn't poisonous, so there wouldn't be any serious consequences.
Zhou Shitou, who thought that he had done his best, went up the mountain. However, his heart was filled with thoughts of revenge, and he didn't consider how eye-catching it would be for him to directly head up the mountain under the gaze of everyone on the first day of the new year.
Zhou Shitou ran off to who knows where, infuriating Zhou Tian and Chow Dalang. Now, he could only bring Su Xinyu to the elders' homes to pay respects. In this way, Zhou Shitou's reputation once again became "pleasant". However, Su Xinyu's cute appearance and her mouth that seemed to have been smeared with honey made the elders smile brightly, giving Zhou Tian a lot of face.
It could be said that on this first day, Su Xinyu had gained quite a bit of "limelight" in her Two-boundary Village. Other than Zhou Shitou deliberately shaking her off, she had also seriously prepared a "Blessed Bag" that was younger than her, which made many people feel that it was both cute and considerate. Although the fortune bag was only a scented sachet made from coarse cloth, it was extremely tasty. The little girl even said that she could protect herself from mosquitoes during the summer, which was what she had read in the books. That was why she had picked these herbs and flowers on the way up the mountain.
Zhou Sanlang's daughter was not only intelligent and cute, he also had a righteous heart. With such a good reputation, there would naturally be people who would spread it for Su Xinyu. Just for this reason, Su Xinyu felt that it would be beneficial for him to take out some of the dried flowers and herbs in this space. After all, only with a good reputation would one have a peaceful life.
On the third day of the new year, he would return to his parents' home. Although Madam Su did not want to come into contact with his family's sister-in-law, they had to be respectful. Madam Liu also advised her to go back and take a look. In the end, she was still the wife of a High Scholar. If she really did not return to her family to pay respects to the new year, her unkind sister-in-law would not be able to tell what was going on behind her back.
Fortunately, on New Year's Eve, Madam Su did not give any money to Zhou Tian and the Wu family. That was only the idea given to her by the Madam Liu, to sell off the embroidery before giving it to her, in case those people thought that it was easy to get their hands on the money. Therefore, Madam Su still had money to buy some gifts to bring back to her parents' home. It was just that she felt that using her daughter's money to do all of these things was somewhat shameful, so she put on the peach blossom handkerchief that was just stitched together and planned to gift it to her family's sister-in-law so that she wouldn't say too much.
In this half year, Su Xinyu had also understood what was going on with the Su Family. Actually, there was only one brother and one sister-in-law, and two nieces and one daughter in Madam Su. His eldest nephew was fourteen this year, and he was engaged to be married last year. Now was the time to be short of money. Now that they had come to visit, Madam Su had to cry. Not only would she not like a handkerchief that was meticulously embroidered for her, she would also ridicule Madam Su for being so perfunctory. She would not even be willing to pay a few coins when she returned to her parents' home.
Therefore, she insisted on liking the handkerchief as much as she could and would not let anyone else have the Madam Su. Then, he pulled Madam Su and carried the two hens in the courtyard, making it impossible for them to lay eggs anymore. He said that he wanted his mother to bring these to his uncle and aunt.
Madam Liu saw through the little girl's thoughts and immediately laughed: "Just listen to the little girl. Your brother isn't that big of a deal, at most he's just a good-for-nothing. But your sister-in-law has the same name as everyone else in the village. If you really take a handkerchief. How could she appreciate it? It would be better to carry two hens that couldn't lay eggs. Once she had meat to eat, no one would care about her even if they told others. This chicken is under the care of you and the girl, so don't think that it belongs to me. Oh right, you should also take that piece of cured meat in the kitchen. That's because it's much thinner than normal fat meat, but don't bring all of them. Otherwise, the Madam Wang will have more words to say. "
Seeing that the New Year gift only had so much to say, Su Xinyu sighed in her heart. However, she still followed Madam Su and walked to the next Su Family Village. However, she did not have any good feelings towards her uncle and his family that she was about to meet.
The big brother of Madam Su was named Su Wenzhu, and was getting married to Zhao Liniang. Originally, when Su Family's parents were still alive, Zhao Liniang had thought that it was alright. She was also a good hand in the field. But the moment his parents left and he faced the one and only sister-in-law left behind, her expression began to change. It was a nose, not a face, not a face. Just wanted to point at Madam Su's nose and tell her that she had nothing to eat. Fortunately, Zhou Family was sold for three taels of silver, otherwise, it would be hard to say.
Someone had once told him that Zhao Liniang hated Su Wenlan to such an extent because she looked to be the best. She was also gentle and had a good hand in embroidery, favored and doted upon by her parents and brothers. Compared to Zhao Liniang who looked like a normal person who only knew how to do farm work but was being squeezed by her parents and three brothers, it was like a heaven and earth. There was no place for this woman's jealousy to go. Even a small matter as small as a needle's nose could be viewed with extreme importance. Not to mention the comparisons.
Su Xinyu had heard this from the Gouzi Mother's mouth. Speaking of which, in the more than half a year that she had lived in the Seventh Grandmother, people often came to visit the eastern family. In his previous life, he especially hated people who gossiped about, but it was fortunate that these people existed in his current life. Otherwise, there were many things that she could not understand. It would not be good for her to be able to live here peacefully.
"Mother, will Aunt bully you like the Great auntie?" Su Xinyu raised her head and looked at the Madam Su.
Madam Su gave a bitter smile, "It's the new year, it shouldn't be."
Oh. That would be it. Su Xinyu frowned slightly: "Little girl doesn't like mother being bullied. Mother is the best! I won't let others bully me! "
Madam Su suddenly smiled out from the bottom of his heart. "So what if I feel wronged or wronged after having a daughter?" Little girl, be good. In any case, we only see your uncle and aunt this once a year. Otherwise it would be hard for your uncle to do it. " No matter how useless his older brother was, before he got married, he really cared for him.
However, Su Xinyu didn't think of any place where she could bear it. She even hoped that the Madam Su would be able to gradually change this cowardly and soft character of hers. She didn't believe that Zhou Sanlang was sincere to her mother. She even felt that her mother was her father, deep in her heart, so she decided to take her mother away to live a life of freedom in the future. And that premise was that his mother's personality would change. "If she doesn't act tough, then it's one thing if she doesn't want to leave. In the future, they will definitely continue to be bullied." But why was he being bullied on the new year's eve? Mother, I don't want to be as pitiful as the grass. "
Grass leaf was a pitiful girl who was sold to a fool as a child's bride. It was because his mother was weak and incompetent that after his father died, his uncles and aunts forced her to sell the leaves. In the end, she didn't get a single cent of the money that she had earned from selling the grass. Grass Leaf's uncle said that Grass Leaf's mother treated her parents with filial respect and praised her for a while. After that, he took the money and took his wife and children to the city to have fun. Only Grass Mother was left with tears on her face. In the end, she found a tree and killed herself.
For example, Su Xinyu, this caused her Madam Su to tremble. She had personally witnessed the heart-wrenching sight of the grass being taken away, and had also heard the sound of grass crying as it came back after finding out that its mother had committed suicide. When she thought of the actions of her uncle and aunt, then thought of how her sister-in-law had scolded her back then, saying that she would sell herself to the landlord as a concubine if she still couldn't find him, she shuddered. Mother will not let anyone bully you! "
See results. Su Xinyu heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. Hm! This little girl believes in mother! "
They arrived at Su Wenzhu's house. Before he even entered the courtyard, he heard a woman cursing in a coarse voice, "Who do you think you are? That little girl of yours is the wife of a High Scholar. Can she still remember a smelly plot of land like you? You still want to slaughter this old lady's chicken for her to eat? Pui! Dream on! Let me tell you, Su Wenzhu, if you dare to give one of our rice to her, I will not rest until you are done! "
Hearing that, Su Xinyu immediately frowned. Compared to that crazy woman from the Madam Wang, Madame Zhao's lewdness was not low at all. She really didn't know why her mother was so unlucky. Even my in-laws' sister-in-law is of such high grade. Fortunately, she had sneaked a glance at Madam Su and discovered that her eyes were filled with anger. It seemed that her words just now had some effect.
How could the environment change a person? Having lived with the Madam Liu for more than half a year, with Su Xinyu secretly "brainwashing" her, Madam Su's personality had indeed changed a little. Even though she couldn't usually see it. However, once something happened, there would still be some changes. Just like now, after hearing Mrs Zhao's scolding. Instead of tears in her eyes like before, she protected the little girl behind her and carried the two chickens and the two catties of cured meat into the courtyard. Furthermore, she bravely said loudly, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. Even if I, Su Wenlan, haven't married out, I haven't eaten a grain of rice from you nor taken a sip of your water. Both were left behind by my parents and earned from selling embroidery. My brother loves me so much that it's his love to keep me for dinner. But as a girl, I know how difficult it is to love my brother. Today, I came back to give my big brother some New Year gift, to kowtow on my parents' ranking to burn incense. If this sister-in-law doesn't allow it, then I can only go to the Village Head and speak to her. After all, other than our daughter, who can only come back to pay her respects at this time, there is no reason in the world for us not to be filial! "
