Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she nodded, stood up and went to the kitchen to get some sauerkraut.

Su He is a good cook and everything she cooks is delicious. She wants to go quickly to wash the sauerkraut and then chop the lard residue.

Seeing the two of them working immediately, Su He couldn't help but smile. He followed them into the kitchen and prepared the onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients that would be used later.

For a moment, several people in the kitchen were busy.

Xie was kneading the dough, Luo was washing the sauerkraut and stacking the lard, and Su He was cleaning the table. They would start making dumplings here later, so there would be plenty of room for more people.

An hour later, plump, white and tender dumplings were neatly arranged on the table in the Su family's kitchen.

"Okay, we can cook it later when everyone comes back."

Su He patted the flour on her hands, smoothed a strand of hair that had fallen from her forehead, and spoke happily to the other two.

Seeing that it was almost dark, he estimated that the Su family should be back by then, so he was preparing to light a fire and boil a pot of water.

"Sister, sister........"

Suddenly, there was a sound of the gate being pushed open in the Su family's yard, followed by the somewhat anxious voice of Su Chi.

Knowing that Su He was making dumplings, she must be in the kitchen.

Su Chi ran straight into the kitchen and saw Su He as expected.

He ran a little anxiously, out of breath, slightly bent over and covered his stomach with one hand, while waving anxiously at Su He.

"Why are you running so fast, kid? Is there someone chasing you?"

While complaining a few words, Mrs. Xie walked forward with a distressed look and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Come, drink some water first and take it easy."

Luo poured a bowl of water and handed it forward.

Su Chi's face turned red, but he was not angry at the two people's complaints. Facing the concerned look on his aunt Luo's face, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

He ran home in a hurry. His throat was indeed very dry. He took a few sips of water and felt better.

After drinking the water, he put the bowl aside, not even paying attention to the dumplings on the table. Thinking of what had just happened, he quickly spoke to the people in the kitchen:

"Brother, brother is arguing with Mei Zi's mother!"

As soon as the words fell, the three people in the kitchen were all stunned.

plum?

Su He remembered the name that Su Chi had mentioned in front of her two days ago. How was it related to her eldest brother?

"Achi, where is your elder brother?"

When Luo heard that Su Mu was arguing with others, she panicked for a moment and pulled Su Chi over and asked anxiously:

"Didn't you say you were going fishing? Why are you arguing?"

Su Chi's face also turned red.

"I don't know what happened, but... on the way back... we met Sister Mei Zi, and she was crying the whole time..."

Su Chi was young, and what he heard was intermittent, so he couldn't understand. He only knew that his eldest brother went to Sister Mei Zi's house, and somehow he had an argument with Sister Mei Zi's stepmother.

He was anxious and didn't know who to ask for help, so he ran back home to call for help.

"Aunt, let's not ask so many questions first, let's go over and take a look first."

Although Su Mu is tall and strong, he is dull and honest. She has heard that Sister Mei Zi's stepmother is very fierce.

It would be strange if her elder brother didn't suffer a loss if he went against her alone.

"Oh... yes, yes, let's go, I'll go now."

Mrs. Luo was also an impetuous person. When she heard that her son was arguing with others, she knew that if she didn't go, she would definitely suffer a loss considering Su Mu's silly look.

Xie watched Luo hurriedly take off her apron and walk out, and she quickly followed.

Su He thought about it, then called out to Su Bai who was in the main room, asking him to go to the field and ask his grandfather and uncle to come back quickly.

After that, he said something to the anxious old lady Su.

"I'll go over and take a look. It's nothing. Since you have a disability, just wait at home!"

She asked Su Chi to lead the way for her and hurried towards Xia's house.

When Su Bai heard this, he realized that the matter was urgent, so he ran away.

Old Mrs. Su watched as everyone in the yard ran away in an instant. She was anxious all by herself, but she also knew that Su He didn't let her go because he was thinking about her. Since her legs and feet were not in good condition, she shouldn't go with them and cause trouble. It would be better for her to wait at home.

When Su He arrived at Xia's house, he saw a circle of people gathered at the front gate of the yard, and a sharp voice inside was constantly shouting and cursing.

"Who do you think you are, a savior?"

"What does it have to do with you whether Xia Mei gets married or not?"

"We are her parents, and the marriage is arranged by her parents and the matchmaker. She is not young anymore, and the Niu Er family is well-off. She will enjoy a good life if she marries him."

"Li Chunhua, what are you talking about? How dare you point at my son and scold him?"

As soon as she heard the voice of her aunt Luo, Su He pulled Su Chi and pushed through the crowd and went inside.

Only after entering the yard could I see clearly what was going on inside.

A rather fat woman, who looked to be in her forties, with a thin face, high cheekbones, and a sneer in her sharp eyes.

This should be the one Su Chi mentioned, Xia Mei’s sarcastic stepmother.

At this time, he was standing in the yard with his hands on his hips, pointing at Xia Mei who was crying quietly with her face covered, and cursing non-stop.

Su Mu was standing next to Xia Mei, and was scolded so hard that his face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Under the eaves, a thin and dark man was pulling a boy who looked about the same age as Su Chi.

He squatted under the eaves with his head hung, looking indifferent to the shouting and cursing in the yard, as if he was already used to such scenes.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were standing not far away. Mrs. Luo had an angry look on her face and was arguing with the woman opposite her.

"What's wrong with me scolding him? It's no use meddling in other people's business. What does my Xia family's daughter's marriage have to do with him?"

Xia Mei's stepmother, Mrs. Li, was furious when she saw Mrs. Luo. What kind of people are the Su family? They are so poor themselves, yet they still come to meddle in her family's affairs.

"Marrying a daughter? The Niu Er family you are talking about, isn't that the Niu Er from the next village?"

Luo Shi did not admit defeat either. She snorted coldly, looked at the people gathered around her, and said loudly, "Others may not know, but I know clearly that someone from my mother's village married into that village."

Seeing Li rolled his eyes, he continued:

"The young wife came back and told me that Niu Er from the next village is over 40 years old and has a bad temper. He beat two wives away. Aren't you sending your daughter into trouble?"

When everyone around heard this, they all gasped. This was too horrible. How could they let their daughter marry into such a family?
