Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 18 Broken Legs
"I worked hard to go to the town for several days and only earned thirty cents. Do you want to send all the money to my uncle's family? What should we do? We have nothing to eat at home! We are about to flee from famine. I was thinking of using this little money to buy two pounds of coarse flour to make steamed buns to eat on the way!"
Even though Su Qiuyi now had more than 130 taels of gold in her hand, she had no excuse to take it out, and subconsciously, she didn't want to help that grandmother's family.
A family of vampires, when will this help end? Besides, several uncles and cousins are all strong laborers, but it is unreasonable to ask them to support them.
When Xu Hui heard that it was only thirty cents, she was a little unconvinced. After all, her family had been eating better these days than during Chinese New Year, so how could she only earn thirty cents?
"Yiyi, I beg you... I can't make money, so please help me. Your grandparents are almost starving to death, and your uncles and cousins are almost starving to death. I know you must have earned more than these thirty cents in the past few days. You also gave your eldest brother thirty cents, right? Just take out the money and give it to me first. Don't we still have the old Su family? We haven't separated yet, so they can't ignore us, right?"
Su Qiuyi stared for a moment when he heard Xu Hui's loud plan.
She didn't expect that her adopted mother knew everything without saying anything, even that she gave money to Su Yunsheng.
She chuckled, "Brother helped me, so what's wrong with me and him sharing the money? I only have thirty cents in my hand. I can't believe you, mother. I'm very tired, so I'll take a nap first..."
She really didn't want to say anything more to this cheap mother of Voldemort. It made her want to vomit blood.
He turned over and his consciousness entered the space, blocking out Xu Hui's whimpering cries.
Su Mingyue and Su Wenxing were originally in the yard. When they heard Xu Hui crying, they hurried in.
After seeing her two daughters, Xu Hui not only did not stop crying, but she cried even louder.
She kept accusing her eldest daughter of being cruel and cold-blooded.
"Yueyue, Xingxing, you two, please speak to your elder sister on behalf of your mother. Your family is almost starving to death, and she didn't even bother to help when she made money. Now, she won't listen to anything your mother says... This unfilial daughter... "
The more she cried, the more excited she became. Su Mingyue frowned when she heard it. She quickly went forward to support her and pulled her out, saying, "Mom, just let Big Sister have a good rest! She has been carrying things to the town every day these days and she is so tired! And didn't Daddy say that we will flee from the famine soon? We don't know what will happen! If we don't take a rest now, how can we escape from the famine?"
Although Su Mingyue inherited her mother's weak character, she was very clear-headed. Although she was weak, it seemed that she did not completely inherit her mother's character.
After hearing what her second daughter said, Xu Hui pulled her hand away from hers and cried, "How did I disturb your elder sister's rest? It's just a matter of stretching out your hand! She gave me the money and I went to Xujiagou to deliver it. She doesn't need to go there! She can just go to sleep!"
The more he spoke, the more he felt he was right, and the more aggrieved he felt, and he even blamed his second daughter who had tried to persuade him.
Just when she wanted to cry to her youngest daughter, Su Wenxing didn't give her mother any chance. The hot-tempered little girl grabbed her mother and shouted to her second sister standing beside her, "Second sister, take mom out quickly! Let the eldest sister rest for a while!"
As they were talking about pulling the person out, the two of them worked together to pull the person out of the cubicle.
Although Xu Hui didn't want to come out, she didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear that her mother-in-law would hear her and she would be in trouble.
Only then did Su Qiuyi sleep peacefully.
Now, the fields have no harvest, the vegetable gardens are uncultivated, and the only two old hens have been sold. There is nothing left to do, and everyone is just waiting for the order from the head of the village to flee the famine.
So Su Qiuyi slept for the whole morning, and the old woman didn't come to cause trouble.
Xu Hui was guarded by her two daughters and was not allowed to go in to look for Su Qiuyi. After hesitating for a long time, she went out.
The two knew where she had gone, but there was nothing they could do. As daughters, they could not do anything about their mother.
When Su Qiuyi woke up, he saw his two sisters sitting in the shade outside. Their mouths were dry and they were reluctant to drink the little water left in the room.
Su Qiuyi couldn't bear it, so he took some water and gave it to the two of them. He persuaded them to drink a few sips and was impressed by their composure.
She couldn't resist feeling thirsty, so as soon as she woke up she fetched some water from the space and drank it.
"big sister…"
Su Mingyue seemed to be hesitant to speak, looking at her sister sitting next to her with some difficulty in speaking.
Nowadays, adults are trying to make a living, but their mother...
"You guys stay at home, I'm going to town!" Su Qiuyi knew what his second sister wanted to say.
But what could she do with Xu Hui? She could just let her go, but she wouldn't get a cent of the money in her hand.
While there is still time, I might as well go to town and buy some useful things.
Fleeing from famine is no joke. Besides, she has learned a little about the situation in the past few days. The Tiansheng Dynasty she is in is facing drought in the north and war in the south. The people are suffering from years of war!
Survival is already difficult, why should she waste time on unimportant things?
"Big sister, please be careful..." Su Mingyue said worriedly.
"How about I go with big sister?" Su Wenxing grabbed Su Qiuyi's hand, his little face full of worry.
Su Qiuyi looked at the two sisters who were really worried about her, patted their heads and coaxed them, "Be good! You two just wait at home, I'll be back soon! Bringing you along would be a hindrance."
After coaxing her younger sisters, she went out alone. Fortunately, her aunt had taken her cousin into the mountains that day, so they didn't see anyone when they passed by her house.
When she arrived in the town, there were really only two shops open. She originally wanted to buy some food, but there was nothing there. So since she was already there, she just bought a few pots and pans from the grocery store. She also saw someone selling water bags, so she bought a few and went home.
She had scraped quite a few things into the space in the past few days, including ready-made cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded trousers and cotton-padded jackets for the whole family, more than 100 kilograms of rice, more than 100 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of coarse salt, and the pots, pans, and water bags she bought today.
These are her sense of security...
Although I didn't buy much, I spent a lot of time on the way there and back.
I almost stepped into the courtyard in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The man was in a good mood, but as soon as he stepped into the yard and heard the crying sounds one after another, he was so scared that his heart almost stopped.
The sound came from her own side room, and the door of the side room was crowded with people, not only the old Su family, but also the neighbors. When she saw her come back, the aunt standing outside was the first to see who was there. She slapped her thighs with both hands and ran over to drag the person to the side room, saying non-stop, "Big girl, hurry up, your father's leg is broken, go in and take a look..."
What was said was not clear. Following the aunt, a bunch of people talked about the whole story. But after Su Qiuyi heard the sentence "your father's leg was broken", his head started buzzing and he was dragged into the house in a daze.
It was not until she saw Su Laosan, who was lying on the kang with a pale face and fainted, and Su Mingyue, who was lying beside him crying and almost fainted, that she came to her senses.
