I just want to die of old age

Aunt Qingyao was speechless for a moment. She originally just thought that Su Yuzhu was young and could be used to extract some information.

She intuitively felt that Su Yuzhu must have picked up something valuable in the mountains.

But I didn't expect that Su Yuzhu was so smart and tight-lipped at such a young age.

It even made her doubt her life.

"We are all from the same village, why be so stingy? Besides, everything on the mountain belongs to everyone."

Su Yuzhu burst out laughing: "What you said makes sense, but who did you hear say that you found a good thing? Let's confront them face to face."

"Your uncle's mother said that, it can't be nonsense."

Su Yuzhu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she said lightly: "Then the aunt must not have told you that her daughter is the real lucky star. Last time, she picked up a Ganoderma lucidum and exchanged it for 50 taels."

"what?"

This time, Aunt Qingyao's shock could no longer be concealed and was about to burst out. The people in the village could not save even one tael of silver from farming in a year.

50 taels is such a huge fortune. Even though she is Liu Yue's friend, she was jealous at this moment.

He was also very dissatisfied with Liu Yue for not telling her about this good opportunity.

In an instant, the sisters who had known each other for many years were broken apart.

"It turns out that Auntie really didn't know." Su Yuzhu shook her head with a look of pity and sighed, "Hey, you don't know, her family is sick of eating meat, after all, they eat it every day."

Aunt Qingyao carefully looked at Su Yuzhu's expression. She still had some doubts in her heart and asked, "What evidence do you have? She is your great aunt, don't talk nonsense."

"Aunt, think about it carefully. The Su family supports two scholars. The cost of studying is very high, and they basically live in poverty. But my uncle's family lives an unusually luxurious life."

Aunt Qingyao seemed to be thinking about something. It made sense. How come I hadn't noticed it before?

Liu Yue's family basically all wore new clothes, and the smell of meat could often be smelled from the air.

Aunt Qingyao glanced at Su Yuzhu. Perhaps because the second and third wives were too poor, her first reaction was to think that the Su family was very poor.

This is the very strong halo of the heroine, and some unfavorable factors will naturally be ignored.

"Didn't your Su family work together to provide it?" This was the statement made to the outside world.

"You can only earn a few dollars from farming, but a book in the county is not cheap."

When Aunt Qingyao heard this, a light flashed in her eyes, filled with greed and anger.

Then she asked thoughtfully: "Your family has also gained a lot of benefits, right?"

Otherwise how could I go to school? Sure enough, there are a lot of good things on the mountain.

"I still get some from time to time, but it's still not as good as Yuqing, the lucky little star."

Su Yuzhu's last sentence had an emphasized tone.

"Yuzhu, you are indeed a good girl. I was right about you. I will definitely introduce you to a good partner in the future." Aunt Qingyao praised.

Aunt Qingyao’s smile was as bright as a flower, and her expression changed as quickly as turning pages of a book.

"We are all from the same village and are one family. This is what we should do," Su Yuzhu said with satisfaction.

Since her aunt was secretly setting a trap for her family, don't blame her for resisting.

I wonder if I can still pick up Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng now that the villagers are watching me so closely?

Glancing at Aunt Qingyao's leaving back and the figure eavesdropping nearby, Yuzhu smiled cunningly in her heart.

When Su Yuzhu returned home,

When Grandma Su saw her, her nose was no longer a nose and her eyes were no longer eyes.

Grandma Su said sarcastically, "You are a girl, but you are not at home every day to fool around."

Su Yuzhu patted the basket on his back and sneered, "I'm really not as good as Su Yuqing, who can enjoy a comfortable life at home. I still have to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. I can't dig tree bark to eat in the future."

Grandma Su was so embarrassed when she heard this, but she thought of what Liu Yue had said to her: "Don't exaggerate. Why do you want to send Boqiu and the others to school? They are so old, is it necessary to go? Isn't this a waste of money?"

Su Yuzhu glanced at her aunt who was eavesdropping in the room and said happily, "How could that be? Learning to read and write is a good thing. Maybe it can change your family's fortune in the future."

"You are daydreaming. Reading is something that people learn from childhood. It's too late to start now. You should just find a wife and have children."

"That's not necessarily true, Grandma. Some people spent a lot of money from their families but still failed to pass the imperial examination. So the imperial examination still depends on talent. Don't waste money."

When Grandma Su heard this, her eyes turned red and she couldn't control her temper.

"Su Yuzhu...you little stinky girl, what are you talking about?"

The aunt-in-law standing by also looked very unhappy and gave Su Yuzhu a fierce look.

"Maybe grandma thought of my cousin. I'm so sorry." Su Yuzhu covered her mouth with a trace of guilt on her face, and said exaggeratedly, "I hit your sore spot."

Grandma Su's face turned pale and red, and she began to murmur in her heart: Boyu has not yet passed the examination to become a student. Could it be that he really lacks talent?

The eldest aunt could no longer pretend to be noble, she hurried over and said: "Mom, my boy Boyu has been preparing for this. He plans to pass the examination to become a student this year, and then a scholar in the future, so that he can be filial to you."

The aunt tickled Grandma Su's itchy spot, and Grandma Su smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: "Boyu is indeed a good child."

"Everyone can draw a picture, but you still have to put it into practice."

My aunt's face looked extremely ugly. She was gritting her teeth and cursing in her heart, asking, when did she become so difficult to deal with?

Grandma Su still said confidently: "With Boyu's ability, this Tongsheng is a piece of cake. Don't try to change the subject."

Su Yuzhu asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Hmm?"

Grandma Su smiled at her and said, "You should go back and persuade your parents not to waste money on studying."

"I quite agree with my parents' decision."

Studying was the decision originally proposed by Su Yuzhu, and she was extremely satisfied with it.

The eldest aunt looked as if she was thinking about Su Yuzhu: "You will soon be old enough to get married. If you spend all your money, you will have no dowry and you will lose face in your husband's family in the future."

In ancient times, getting married was a very important matter, so the aunt-in-law thought that Su Yuzhu would care a lot about the dowry.

Otherwise, with the speed at which Su Yuzhu makes money, she doesn't have to worry about these problems at all.

Su Yuzhu said shamelessly with expectant eyes: "Hey, if the dowry is not enough in the future, why don't you prepare a generous dowry for me, auntie."

My aunt's face turned pale and she forced a smile but couldn't say the words of agreement.

Grandma Su refused directly and coldly: "What are you thinking? I can't give you a copper coin. Those are all Yuqing's."

Su Yuzhu wiped her eyes like a dramatic actress, and asked Grandma Su expectantly: "Grandma, have you prepared it for me?"

Grandma Su was stunned for a moment. She had never considered Su Yuzhu before. Apart from Su Yuqing, her granddaughters were just money-losing goods to her.
