Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 3 Scolding the old woman
Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other possibility. After all, this was ancient times, and she didn't understand anything about brain tissue damage, blood stasis compressing nerves, transient amnesia, and selective amnesia.
Su Qiuyi looked at the woman who was almost scared to death by him, and quickly reached out to comfort her, "It must be that the head was hit too hard by my aunt, which affected my brain. It's okay, mother, I will be fine after a rest!"
My mother just said that all the injuries on her body were caused by that guy with almond-shaped eyes and flat nose, and she remembered it.
"No, I'll take you back to your grandmother's house after I finish fetching water so she can help you summon your soul... Yiyi, go sit aside and rest for a while, I'll light the fire!"
Without giving Su Qiuyi a chance to argue, the woman who had been crying and acting so timid just now had a determined look in her eyes. She helped Su Qiuyi sit on the small stool next to the firewood, looking as if she would not tolerate any negotiation.
"Mom, it's not that serious. I just can't remember what happened before. Just tell me. I'll have a rest for a while. My headache is almost gone..." There was something strange about Su Qiuyi, and she didn't dare to really summon any ghost.
Xu Hui was about to say no and that she had to go and take a look, but the sharp voice of the old woman was heard outside the courtyard:
"You are used to cheating, aren't you? How long do you take to cook such a small meal? There is no water in the water tank, why don't you go and fetch some water? If you cheat me again, you won't be allowed to stay at home and cook! Go work in the fields every day!"
Su Qiuyi covered her ears but couldn't block out the old woman's sharp screams. She only saw her cheap mother tremble reflexively and quickly picked up the shoulder pole and walked out.
She didn't want to stay alone with this old woman, so she followed her example and picked up the remaining wooden barrel and followed her out.
The well in the village was very far away. The two walked for a long time before they reached the well. They found that there were so many people carrying water, queuing up to get water.
Hearing the people around him talking anxiously about how the well water was drying up and that people would die of thirst if it didn't rain, Su Qiuyi also began to feel anxious.
After all, she was just a social animal without any extraordinary abilities. Even if she was reborn, God didn't give her any special abilities.
It's been half a day and there's no movement at all.
The mother and daughter carried three buckets of water back home, poured them into the water tank, and turned around to go for a second trip.
However, a long queue had already formed by the well, and people were starting to register how many buckets of water each family had brought.
After asking around, I found out that after the water level in the well dropped, water consumption is now limited and each family can only draw two buckets of water a day.
Everyone just watched as Xu Hui and her daughter carried three buckets of water back home. Now the headman stopped fetching water for them.
In the village, the head of the village is the highest official. Who dares to disobey the official?
The mother and daughter could only carry the empty bucket home. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw two little girls standing at the door of the upper room, looking around.
Su Qiuyi took a quick look and saw one of them was about seven or eight years old, and the other was even younger, about five or six years old. They were wearing clothes with patches similar to his own. Their skin was tanned by the sun, and their hair was a little yellow and dry. There were two baskets of wild vegetables next to them, obviously they had just come back from cutting wild vegetables.
The two poor little ones ran over as soon as they saw them. The older one ran faster and only dared to speak in a low voice when he got in front of the two.
"Mom, big sister, hurry up, dinner is ready. I see grandma didn't leave any steamed bread for you two..."
Just as she finished speaking, the little girl behind her ran over and grabbed Su Qiuyi's hand, saying anxiously, "Sister, you didn't go to work in the fields today, hurry in. Otherwise, you won't have any food!"
Su Qiuyi was dragged to the upper room, and now he understood that these two should be her biological sisters with the same father and mother.
The mother and her two daughters entered the upper room one after another. At that time, the whole family was sitting at the dining table, slurping the rice soup cooked by the mother and her daughter. The table was already full and there was no place for the four of them.
Seeing someone coming in, the old woman's eyebrows jumped and she asked coldly:
"The water tank is full so quickly?"
The others didn't even raise their heads, eating from their own bowls, occasionally reaching out to pick up a piece of pickled vegetable with chopsticks, really treating the four people as air.
Su Qiuyi felt anger rising in his heart. He looked over and tried to find the shadow of his cheap father among this group of people.
Seeing her wife and daughter being treated like this, and not seeing her cheap father showing any intention of standing up, she was so angry that she was about to die.
Before she could find her scumbag father, Xu Hui subconsciously shook her head and whispered, "Mom, the water level in the well has dropped a lot, and the head of the village has stipulated that we can only fetch two buckets of water a day..." After saying that, she clenched her hands in front of her and bent her body subconsciously.
"Useless things, you can't even carry water, what's the point of keeping you? It's a waste of food..."
When she heard that water was going to be limited, the old woman slammed her chopsticks on the table and started cursing.
When Su Qiuyi heard the old woman start to curse, he no longer cared about looking for his scumbag father, and quickly protected his stepmother who could not help but retreat and was terrified.
But the old woman's scolding became more and more harsh and sharp, with saliva flying everywhere. She had already scolded them from useless to waste, and even threatened to tell them to get out. Useless people should not think about wasting food.
It was already lucky enough to be reborn in such a remote place, but Su Qiuyi suddenly exploded, pinched his waist and started cursing.
"You old woman, keep your mouth shut! Who is wasting food? We have to do all the work in the day, and you are so eager to eat. It was said that water is limited there. If you have the guts, go and scold the head of the village! Why are you going crazy and scolding us here?"
He was already covered in wounds and was still in pain. Now he was being ordered around like this and his knees were shaking from hunger. It was definitely because of this old bitch's bad habits that he had been spoiled by.
After she finished shouting, the whole place fell silent. The arrogant old woman Su Li, who was pointing at people and cursing, couldn't react for a moment, as she was actually being scolded by a bitch, and was stunned for a moment.
The others also looked at Su Qiuyi as if she were a monster. After all, the third girl used to be hardworking and never fought back or retaliated. But today, the fourth girl actually pinched her waist and scolded the old lady. Who could react?
Xu Hui was almost frightened to death by her own eldest daughter.
His hands and feet were shaking, his lips were trembling, and cold sweat could no longer be stopped from dripping from his forehead. He stretched out his hand to grab Su Qiuyi's arm, and with strength coming from nowhere, he dragged her out and ran, shouting in a trembling voice, "Yiyi, run, run... Yueyue, Xingxing, run... run..."
Before Old Madam Su could get mad, Su Qiuyi was dragged out of the upper room by her stepmother, leaving a table of old Su family members with their mouths wide open in shock.
It took a long while for the old woman to react, and she started howling.
"That damn bitch actually scolded me? How dare she scold me? Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, go and bring those four bitches back to me. I will skin them alive. Go!"
The two sons who were named were reluctant to put down their chopsticks.
"Brother, are you deaf? Why don't you go and catch that bitch?" Su Xiaofei, who was sitting next to the old lady, pushed her eldest brother next to her and shouted.
