I became a villain's stepmother and married a rough man from the mountains

Chapter 22 Laundry

"what?"

Su Wan didn't know why Xiao Yu asked such a question suddenly, but she didn't react.

"Just... we met when we were playing chess."

"Play chess? You can also play chess."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite believe it.

"You know how to read?"

Su Wan couldn't help laughing when she heard this sentence.

"Of course I know how to read. Not only do I know how to read, but I also want to be a teacher."

Xiao Yu felt that this woman's brain might be pumped by the wind when she went out today, otherwise, she would talk nonsense as soon as she came back.

When it was time for dinner, Su Wan still talked about it in front of Xiao Yu.

"So it's true."

Xiao Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, and looked at Su Wan quietly.

Su Wan nodded.

"Even the village head has promised me that as long as I can find ten children to go to school, I can become a teacher."

Su Wan said very seriously.

Xiao Yu didn't know why Su Wan suddenly changed into a different person overnight.

"Where do you think the ten people came from?"

Su Wan originally thought that the other party would mock her, but to her surprise, Xiao Yu didn't say that.

"Hmm... I thought about it. Anyway, we have two in our own family. Then I will go to Sister Meng's house and tell her that there is another boy in her family."

"In this case, there will be three. I plan to go back to my mother's house in two days. I remember that I still have a little sister. In this way, there will be four. I think it should be easy to find six more in the village." .”

Su Wan turned her head to look at Xiao Yu.

"what do you think?"

"I have no opinion, as long as you decide what to do."

Xiao Yu got up to pack the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Su Wan looked at Xiao Yu's leaving back and slightly bent her lips. She felt that this man was quite funny.

"By the way, where are the clothes you changed these two days? Let me wash them for you."

"Staying on the mountain all the time, I must have no time to change my clothes. After wearing them for so many days, they should be dirty."

"It just so happened that the weather was pretty good during this time, so I washed it for you."

Su Wan stood at the door and shouted loudly, but there was a sound of a shovel falling to the ground from the kitchen.

"No, I'll do it by myself."

Although the man's voice was still as cold as usual, Su Wan could hear a hint of urgency in the air.

"Hey?"

Su Wan was a little puzzled, it was just washing clothes, so there was no need to be so flustered.

"It's okay, leave it to me. A big man will definitely be laughed at when he does laundry."

"Also, I don't think you use soap to wash your coat. You just dry-clean it over there. In this way, how can you wash it clean?"

After Su Wan wiped the two children's mouths clean, she picked up the table and sent the remaining bowls to the kitchen.

When Su Wan entered the room, he saw Xiao Yu cast a puzzled look.

"What is soap?"

"what?"

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, she was so complacent just now that she accidentally revealed her secrets.

"Uh... Actually, it's nothing. It's just the thing used to wash clothes. In your words, it should be... is it... Saponaria?"

Su Wan had seen it in history books before, but couldn't remember clearly.

Xiao Yu nodded.

"Some time ago, there was saponin in my house, but it was raining and damp during this period, and it became moldy. I threw it all away this morning."

Su Wan let out an oh.

"Is there anyone selling this in the village? I'll go to the village to buy some tomorrow."

"No, this thing is only available in spring and summer. Once that season passes, there is no storage at home, and it cannot be bought in the village."

"If you really want to buy it, you have to go to the town, but the town is miles away from us. There are no mules or ox carts, and it takes at least an hour and a half to walk. It will take three hours."

"It's not worthwhile to go to town just to buy saponins, and a catty of saponins costs fifty Wen."

She couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this.

"Why is this thing so expensive? I remember that there are not all roadsides in spring?"

Su Wan couldn't help but lamented that he sold two packs of chicken for renminbi, and a piece of laundry was renminbi, which seemed to be a consumable.

"Yes."

"You also said it's spring, and now it's winter, so the price is naturally very expensive."

"And this thing is not sold to ordinary people in the first place. Only those dignitaries will go out to purchase when the weather is fine."

She looked at the clothes on the man's body that had just been washed and dried today, and it seemed that there were no extra clothes left.

"Hmm...Okay, I already know the details. Where do you put your clothes? I'll go get them now."

Xiao Yu, who was cleaning the dishes, suddenly stopped.

"Didn't you understand what I just said?"

He frowned.

"Of course I heard it, but I have a way, so you don't have to worry too much."

Su Wan smiled at him.

But after waiting for a long time, the man did not speak.

Su Wan doesn't understand, it's just a few clothes, so there's nothing to be pretentious about.

"Forget it, since you won't tell me, then I'll go to Xiaobai, and Xiaocheng told me."

"The two of them have been at home all the time, and they must know where things are."

After she finished speaking, she began to prepare to go back to her room.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to call out to stop the other party, but he opened his mouth and finally did not stop him.

He didn't know what this woman was planning.

……

"Here, here."

"All of Daddy's clothes are here."

Xiaocheng waved at Su Wan, and she walked over after seeing it.

"Is it here? I actually put the clothes in the box, so it won't stink."

But when Su Wan opened the box, she was surprised to find that the clothes were neatly placed, not as messy as she had imagined.

And she didn't know if it was her own illusion, she even smelled a slight fragrance from the clothes.

"Daddy will wash the clothes again every time he comes back. After washing, he will put them in the cabinet, and then take out a sachet and put them in."

Xiao Cheng took out a yellowed sachet from the cabinet.

Su Wan nodded, it turned out to be the case.

However, Xiao Yu really loves cleanliness, and is quite frugal. The clothes have been washed and started to turn white, but they still didn't throw them away, and kept them.

"Stepmother, why do you want daddy's clothes? Aren't the clothes clean?"

Xiaocheng looked at Su Wan with some doubts.

Su Wan smiled.

"Look, this dress hasn't been washed yet."

"There are red blood stains on it."
