Seeing that they had all gone far away, he spoke carefully, "Well...what did my aunt say? She wanted Daniu to be an apprentice."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Sanlang's wife asked with some doubt.

As the person who knows her mother's character best, Su Sanmei knows that things are not that simple. She thought about it and asked Su Yan, "Who are you going to be an apprentice to?"

I got the point right away.

"You know Wang Quezi from the next village. He studies carpentry."

Su Sanmei was horrified. "How can that be possible? He is a well-known skinner! He is even crueler to his apprentices than to his servants. Whoever goes there will not be skinned alive."

Su Sanmei is being too conservative. It's not just about shedding two layers of skin, but a layer of flesh.

Sanlang's wife finally came to her senses and was also shocked, "How can this be possible? How can Daniu go to that place? Our family is not so poor that we have no other choice."

Only those poor families who are starving to death would think of taking a chance and sending their sons to beg for food.

After all, ever since Wang Cuzi's reputation became bad, he no longer charges apprenticeship fees when looking for disciples.

As long as people come, it's fine.

Even so, there is no family that is well off enough to send their children there.

Wang Cuzi hasn't had an apprentice for several years.

Su Sanmei: "Yeah! Could it be that something happened at home and they have no money? No, I'll ask my eldest brother. If he really needs money, I still have some here and I can lend it to him. Don't send a good child to that kind of place!"

Su Yan sighed, "If you are really so short of money that you want to send Daniu to that kind of place, even if I don't say anything, Sanlang should go back to help."

The problem now is that they are not short of money, it is simply that Uncle Su and Aunt Su are immoral.

Su Yan hesitated for a moment, and told them what her mother had said yesterday, "My mother went back yesterday and saw her. My aunt went to the town with a few other women in the village to buy some cloth and made new clothes."

Although Su Yan sold clothes in the village, Aunt Su never bought any clothes from her and always made them herself.

She also kept shouting that she would not let Su Yan make her money.

Even Sanlang's wife, who was so soft-hearted, was furious. "Since you don't need money, why are you sending your child to a wolf's den?"

Su Yan: "Who knows what he's thinking?"

Su Sanmei could guess her mother's train of thought and said, "She probably wanted to send Daniu to Wang Quezi's house to save money when he was a teenager and could eat well."

"After studying for a few years and becoming a master, I can also earn money for my family."

After all, although Wang Cuzi is a bad person, he does have some skills as a carpenter.

Otherwise, before his cruel deeds were exposed, there wouldn't be so many people trying so hard to send their children to him.

Country people don't have much ability. If they can really learn carpentry and become a master, their ancestors will not have to rely solely on farming for a living.

Sanlang's wife: "Big brother agrees too? He only has one son, Daniu!"

If anything happened to Daniu, he would be wiped out.

Su Yan shook her head. "My eldest brother disagreed, so he pretended to have a quarrel with my eldest sister-in-law and sent her back to her parents' home."

"But my mother obviously won't give up so easily." Su Sanmei said, "People like her will do anything for money."

"She couldn't be soft-hearted even for her own son, let alone her grandson who is a generation away."

As Su Sanmei spoke, her eyes dimmed.

I remembered the scene when I first came back.

At that time, she had just earned some money with her husband, and she wanted to come back to get her parents' approval.

By the way, she also got rid of the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, so she would not be labeled as eloping in the future.

But she didn't expect that when she got home, Aunt Su first thought it was embarrassing and refused to let her go. Later, when she heard that her husband was rich, she detained her and wouldn't let her leave.

At that time, she was already pregnant with Da Hu, and her mother took advantage of this and asked for a huge sum of money.

I wish I could take all her family’s money.

In the end, it was the eldest brother who helped her escape secretly. After arriving at the county, the third brother borrowed Su Yan's carriage overnight to send them away.

Later I heard that her mother brought people to the county to pursue her, and it was Su Yan who settled the matter.

So later, when her husband wanted to buy a house, she refused to do so in this county.

It must be in a more distant neighboring county.

She was really scared.

When she came back later, she would come to the county to visit her third brother and second sister, or meet her eldest brother in private.

I never went back to my hometown again.

Sanlang's wife obviously also thought of what her mother-in-law had done to her family. Her son almost died at that time.

If her husband had not made a prompt decision to take them to Su Yan, it is uncertain whether her son would still be alive.

For a moment, she felt the same way as her sister-in-law in the countryside and felt even more sympathetic towards her.

Su Yan looked at the two people who looked unhappy, and her mood also became bad.

She sighed and pretended to be casual, "It would be better if they divorced amicably. My sister-in-law can take Daniu back to her parents' home to settle down. There are several uncles next to us, and no one would dare to cause trouble easily."

But as soon as she said this, Sanlang's wife immediately refuted her.

"How can that be possible! Daniu is already so big! There are also Dahua and Xiaohua below! They are going to get married soon. It's hard to talk about marriage now or after the child is divorced."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Yes, marriage is a big problem, I just said it casually."

Then he took the initiative to lead people to skip this issue and never mentioned it again.

Just mention it briefly. The eldest family and several of her peers have come into contact with her.

But after all, they were not a family, so she couldn't take the initiative to persuade them to break up.

Su Yan told them some other things about the county, and the three of them became happy again.

In a place where no one noticed, Su Sanmei frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

This time when Su Sanmei came back, she would stay in the county for a longer time, so she rented a house outside.

The next day, several people made an appointment to visit Su's mother in the county.

She has been in the county for four years to take care of Songger's studies.

Except for occasionally going back, I basically stay in the county.

This also makes it convenient for Su Yan. Since it is close, she can come whenever she wants.

However, she usually chooses to go when Songger is in school, does not stay for lunch, and leaves early in the afternoon.

Try to avoid running into Song Ge'er.

It’s not that she holds a grudge or anything, but Song Ge’er is now fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the time for rebellion.

Now, let alone her, I don’t even have a good relationship with my grandmother who takes care of me.

Of course, his relationship with his mother Chen Guihua was also bad.

He has read a lot of books over the years and understood a few things, but his temperament has been set.

My relationship with Su Yan is just like that.

So Su Yan is now neither too close nor too distant to him.

If we meet, we will talk, but of course she usually tries to avoid meeting.

Su's mother was also very happy to see so many people coming. When she saw the third sister, she held her hand tightly and looked her up and down.

Seeing that she looked good, I knew she was doing well and she smiled even more happily.

Later, he held Dahu tightly and refused to let go. He also told Su Yan that Dahu looked like his uncle.

"He looks exactly like Sanlang when he was a child, with a chubby face and a tiger-like body. This nickname is a good one, and it fits the occasion!"
