Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 78 Like a Primary School Student
Su Qiuyi privately didn't want anyone to know Chu Mingxiao's identity, not for any other reason, but because he had saved her, and she felt that Chu Mingxiao was a good man who could fight against the bandits.
"You also saved him once! We're even!" Su Lao San didn't buy his daughter's words and was determined to find out about Chu Mingxiao's origins.
Su Qiuyi shook his head and said, "Dad, that's not how you calculate it. He saved both me and my aunt!"
Su Lao San glared, "Yiyi, he looks dangerous, and he was rescued from being chased in the mountains. We can't let him stay!"
"Dad, we have to learn to be grateful!" Although Su Qiuyi understood his father's heart, he was afraid that Chu Mingxiao would bring danger and that they would be in danger again. However, he would also feel uneasy if Chu Mingxiao left with injuries.
"Dad, from now on, he is my cousin on my mother's side! No matter who asks, he is my cousin! That's what the villagers say too!"
Su Laosan understood his daughter's meaning and concealed the identity of the man in black, "But..."
"Third brother, Yiyi is right. He is Xu Hui's nephew. He was separated from his family while fleeing and offended the bandits, who hunted him down! You can't just stand by and watch him die! Although Xu Hui is not a human being, you can't be so inhumane!"
Su Qiuyi wanted to say something to convince her father, but was interrupted by her aunt who walked in.
"Move the bed outside the cave entrance later, and I'll find a few people to build a house for him!"
Su Laosan had no chance to speak in front of his sister, and just two sentences decided whether Chu Mingxiao would stay or go.
He also has a strong execution ability. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to find someone.
Su Qiuyi looked at his father staring blankly at his aunt as she left, unable to say no, and so he burst out laughing.
Chu Mingxiao's matter was settled. She turned around and went to the inner cabinet, found a set of her father's clothes and gave it to Chu Mingxiao.
By the time the three sisters finished cooking, Chu Mingxiao had already changed out of his blood-stained black clothes and put on Su Laosan's coarse linen clothes.
This piece of clothing was bought by Su Qiuyi for Su Laosan. He has never worn it, so there are no patches on it.
Su Laosan and Chu Mingxiao are of similar height, so their clothes fit them well.
However, even though it was a coarse linen shirt, it could not conceal Chu Mingxiao's solemn and murderous temperament.
In the morning, I made steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, rice porridge and a plate of pickles.
The pickles were pickled by Su Xiaofang. I didn’t cook in the morning, but I ate them just like this. It was the best food in my family.
Everyone in the village borrowed money from them, but still no one could afford to eat so luxuriously.
The food they bought was all cheap brown rice and brown noodles, and they hardly ate any vegetables. At most they had potatoes for one meal a day, and they didn't have much oil. The best thing they had at home was the game the man occasionally hunted.
Su Qiuyi usually didn't dare to take out too many good things to eat, so he was so excited to chase the rabbit when he saw it.
At the dinner table, Chu Mingxiao was not at all uncomfortable with the condition of sitting on the floor. In his eyes, the simple meal on the table was just enough to fill his stomach.
This was also due to the fact that he had always followed his father in the army. The conditions were there, and if he had to go to war, it would be even more difficult, so he had been able to endure hardships since he was a child.
However, looking at Su Laosan's dark face, Chu Mingxiao still felt a little restrained. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
This was the scene Su Qiuyi saw when she came over with the boiled eggs she had cooked.
Chu Mingxiao sat there obediently like a primary school student, while her father... looked at her with a sullen face.
The two of them looked like elementary school students who had done something wrong and were being scolded by their class teacher.
She walked forward and gave a boiled egg to her father first, and then to Chu Mingxiao.
Chu Mingxiao wanted to wave his hand, but Su Qiuyi directly put the boiled egg into his hand, then sat back in his seat and gave the boiled eggs to his two younger sisters.
The three sisters were really malnourished. She wanted to give her two younger sisters some milk, but there was no way. Where could she get milk at this time?
It must be that she had it when she asked Bai Xiaojing for it, but she couldn't find an excuse to take it out.
Although the second sister knew a little about the situation, Su Qiuyi still felt that it would be safer to not use the space.
But the eggs were easy to explain. She said she bought them. Plus, Su Lao San didn't allow his two daughters to ask too much about his eldest daughter, so Su Qiuyi could cover up the lie more easily.
"Eat it!"
After everyone sat down, Su Laosan spoke as usual, and then his three daughters simultaneously cracked the eggshells on the table and began to peel them.
This seemed to have become their habitual action during these days in the cave.
Su Qiuyi took out a hundred eggs and placed them under the beds where the three people slept. He cooked one egg every morning to eat, so it seemed as if there was some great significance to the three of them cracking the eggshells simultaneously every morning.
The two younger sisters watched their older sister's movements, and as soon as Su Qiuyi started cracking eggshells, they followed suit.
Looking at his three daughters, Su Laosan couldn't help but soften his expression. He cracked an egg and began to peel the shell.
Chu Mingxiao looked at the family and unconsciously knocked the egg in his hand on the table.
Su Laosan was looking coldly at Chu Mingxiao when he was sitting at the table just now, but when they started eating, he did not make things difficult for him or look at him coldly at all.
Because he had suffered too much injustice at the dinner table since he was a child, Su Li would curse at others every time he had a meal.
One time when his family cooked meat, he took an extra piece. Su Li went crazy at the dinner table. The piece of meat got stuck in his throat and he couldn't get it up or down and almost rolled his eyes.
The meal was completed smoothly. The villagers all knew yesterday that Su Qiuyi had an accident, so they all came to visit after dinner early in the morning.
At this time, visiting is just to look around with two eyes. It is impossible to give anything as you can't even fill your stomach.
As for having enough food to eat, the ten taels of silver that Su Qiuyi lent to each family was enough to feed the family for several months. However, they not only needed to have enough food to eat, but also needed clothes and medicine, so it was not enough at all.
Among the crowd of people who came to visit, Su Qiuyi didn't see anyone from the Su family. She greeted everyone, but it was a little difficult to invite them into the cave because the cave was too small to accommodate so many people.
Simply, the father and his two daughters brought Chu Mingxiao out of the cave together. These people came to see what was happening after hearing that Su Qiuyi was in trouble, so after Su Qiuyi greeted everyone, Su Lao San spoke.
"Yesterday, Qin Kui and his team brought back a nephew from the children's mother's side of the forest. Although I have no relationship with the child's mother anymore, the child is pitiful in the current situation. Since he has been rescued, he will be kept for now! Xiao Chu, say hello to everyone! We will get along well in the future!"
As he spoke, he motioned to Chu Mingxiao next to him to say hello to everyone.
Chu Mingxiao suddenly heard someone calling him Xiao Chu. He felt a little uncomfortable and was stunned for a moment.
No one has ever called him that. His good brothers would call him Huai'en, his father would call him Xiaoxiao, and the servants would call him Prince Chu...
