Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Su Danian was still thinking about the chores at home and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

It’s still quite a distance from Yunli Village.

Su He nodded, told Old Man Wei that he would rent his ox cart again in two days, and then the three of them picked up their backpacks and headed home.

Cloud Village.

"Brother Mu, from now on...I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Su family to find you anymore."

Xia Mei lowered her head, clutching the corners of her clothes helplessly with her hands, her voice trembling slightly, as if she was trying desperately to hold back her tears.

Hearing Xia Mei's words, Su Mu was obviously stunned and said incoherently: "Mei... Meizi, but you... that person bullied you again?"

When Su Mu saw Xia Mei's appearance, he was a little at a loss. He raised his hand to comfort her, but slowly put it down.

Xia Mei had a miserable life. She lost her mother when she was young. Her father married a stepmother, who gave birth to a younger brother within two years.

Since then, Xia Mei was even less welcome in the Xia family. Not only did she have to do all the work at home and outside, but if her stepmother was unhappy with her, she couldn't even eat.

In the past, the Su family didn’t have enough to eat, and sometimes Su Mu would save some food for Xia Mei, otherwise she would not be able to make it.

"I heard her tell my father that my brother will be getting married in a few years, and the family cannot do without money, so she wants to find a marriage for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Mei couldn't help sobbing softly.

To put it nicely, they are arranging a marriage for her, but in fact they are going to sell her off for money. I'm afraid the marriage they are looking for is not a good one.

Thinking about the days ahead, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Getting married is just like jumping from one fire pit of the Xia family to another.

The Su family was one of the few people who treated her well, and Su Mu had often brought her food. Otherwise, she would have collapsed long ago.

She also admired Su Mu in her heart and had fantasized about marrying Su Mu in the future. However, her father and stepmother only wanted to exchange her for money and would definitely not pay attention to her thoughts.

"No... No way, Mei Zi, don't worry. No matter how bad your father is, he can't do this."

Su Mu felt nervous and his words stuttered, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Xia Mei.

"I...I won't just stand by and watch. If it really doesn't work, we can go find the village head and ask him to give you justice."

The head of the village is the person with the most say in Yunli Village. Whenever there are disputes among the villagers, they always ask the head of the village to judge the dispute. This is also the best solution Su Mu can think of.

He also knew that Xia Mei's stepmother was very difficult to deal with. She had always disliked Xia Mei and thought that having one more mouth to feed wasted the Xia family's food.

But if she were to use Xia Mei to exchange for a gift money for her son, she would be criticized by others, and she probably didn't have the courage to do that.

Xia Mei raised her head and looked at Su Mu, who was furious. She took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, she raised her hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and slowly said, "Yeah!"

At this time, Su He and the other two had just returned to Yunli Village, carrying baskets on their backs, and were already out of breath.

When I arrived at the gate of the Su family, I saw that it was closed. Occasionally, there were some noises coming from inside. At this time, I estimated that the mushrooms should have been washed.

Su He felt inside his arms to make sure the silver was still on him and not lost. He heaved a sigh of relief and walked forward and pushed open the gate.

"We're back!"

In the yard, the Su family had just cleaned the mushrooms and were spreading them on bamboo mats to drain the water.

Just now, a few people were still muttering about why Su He and the others had not returned today, and they came back much later than usual.

Then he saw the courtyard door was pushed open, and it turned out that Su He and the other two had returned.

"Ah He, you guys are back. Is everything alright? Why are you so late today?"

Old Lady Su stood up and walked towards the group and asked with a worried look on her face, "Your grandfather is planning to go out to meet you."

After closing the courtyard gate, Su He took Old Lady Su's arm and walked into the main room. Su Bai stepped forward, lifted the backpack on her back and helped put it down.

Su Chi was very tactful and quickly poured three bowls of water. The little guy held the bowls and brought them to the three people.

Su He's throat was about to smoke, and he didn't bother to explain. He picked up the bowl and gulped it down.

"call......"

Finally comfortable.

"It's okay, I just got delayed for a while at Qianweilou."

After saying that, he took out the rice, flour and meat from the backpack, and took the pork to the kitchen so that he could make mushroom sauce later.

I bought a lot of rice and flour this time, which should be enough to last for a while.

"Why did you buy so much? You also bought white flour. It's so expensive."

Xie looked at the rice and flour that Su He brought back. In addition to the coarse grain noodles that they usually ate, there was also a bag of white flour. She didn't know how many kilograms of coarse grains this bag could be exchanged for.

Although the Su family's life is better now than before, they can't buy food like this, and coarse grains are already very good for them. They had nothing to eat before and could only eat wild vegetables.

They have finally earned some money, but there are still so many foreign debts waiting to be repaid. They can't afford to eat white flour like this.

Su He turned around and smiled at Mrs. Xie, and said with a look of understanding, "Mother, we all love to eat dumplings. You liked them too the last time we ate them."

It was rare to make some money today, and Su He also wanted everyone to have something good to eat, "When we have some free time in a couple of days, let's make some dumplings."

Xie was about to say something else, but when she saw Su He's smiling face, the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

Well, just eat it. You work so hard every day, you deserve to eat something good. Besides, it doesn’t cost much money to buy this little white flour. At most you can save a little later.

As he thought about it, he felt less uncomfortable and turned around and called out to Su Bai in the yard.

Su Bai put away the backpacks that Su He and the other two had carried. When he heard Mrs. Xie calling him, he hurried over and said, "Second Aunt."

"Go to the kitchen and chop the pork first. You can make the mushroom sauce later."

Since Su Mu was not there, he had to ask Su Bai to deal with the pork. Boys are stronger and can do it faster.

After saying that, he told Su He to have a good rest first, then turned around and went to the kitchen to cut mushrooms with Luo.

Su He took out the silver from his arms and put it in Old Lady Su's hand.

After weighing the money in her purse, Old Mrs. Su was a little stunned.

There are so many. She knows the amount of mushroom jam she brought today. Even if she adds the half basket of fruit rolls, there can’t be so many.

Old Man Su, who was standing by, was also a little surprised when he saw the heavy purse in Old Lady Su's hand, and he even stuttered:

"Ah He, why is there so much silver? Did something happen?"
