When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.
Chapter 38 There is nothing she dares not do
Su Ting carefully pulled it apart, looked at the rope tied on it, frowned and said, "This belongs to the Su family's daughter-in-law."
"She has always been a simple and honest person, and she is also well-known in the village for her warm-heartedness. The agarwood she made these days is not only good but also very tender, and there has never been any problem. That's why I didn't check it carefully when I was collecting it."
Su Xiaowan spread them all out, and except for some grass jelly on the outside, the inside was almost all leaves.
"Sister Ting, you can't just look at the surface. You have to ask her about this matter."
"If we hadn't personally checked and handled this, it would have been a disaster if it had been done."
Su Ting blamed herself and said, "Xiao Wan, I didn't handle this matter well. I'm going to find someone right now. No matter what, I want her to explain everything to her face to face."
"Okay, go find the person first and ask him clearly."
Su Xiaowan didn't blame Su Ting. After all, there were too many things to do and Su Ting had to keep an eye on them all, so sometimes she was bound to be negligent.
While Su Ting went to find someone, Xiao Beiguo brought out some sugar water from the house and handed it to Su Xiaowan.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this jelly grass?"
Su Xiaowan took it, took a sip and nodded, "Someone is using leaves to make up the numbers. Sister Ting will go find someone to ask."
"You collected so much that it would be difficult for someone who is not very reliable."
Xiao Beiguo couldn't help but worry about her. If she wasn't careful and something went wrong with the herbs, the consequences would be disastrous.
"When you put it that way, I feel a little uneasy."
Su Xiaowan frowned, but the only person she could trust in the village was Su Ting.
"I remember that your second uncle has a girl who is a few years younger than you. She has never married and is still helping with farm work at home. How about asking her to help?"
The reason why Xiao Beiguo had an impression of this girl was because of the conversation between the girl and Su Xiaowan when he went to pick up the bride.
She said, "Sister Wanwan, I really envy you. When you get married, you won't have to be beaten and scolded by your uncle. I really hope that one day I can leave this home like you."
The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, so she should be eighteen or nineteen now.
"You mean Zhaodi? She is at home. Even if we let her out, she still needs Uncle Er's consent."
Su Xiaowan also disliked her second uncle, who was even more disliked than her father.
"I'm going there tonight and will pass by my parents. How about I go over there and ask them tomorrow morning?"
Su Xiaowan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then go and try it. Just ask Zhaodi to come over to play for a few days. Anyway, there is nothing to do right now."
Her second uncle is a petty-minded person, so he would definitely be happy to have one less person to eat.
Xiao Beiguo didn't say much, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow morning. If possible, I'll let her come directly, but if she comes, I'm afraid she won't have a place to stay."
The house is this big, and there is only one room, which is very small and shabby.
"Let's take a look first. If you can come, clean up the small room. It's hot now, so you can live there."
"Okay, let's arrange it this way."
While the two were talking, Su Ting had already brought Su's wife.
Guo Ermei followed in with an anxious look on her face, and hurriedly explained, "Sister Xiaowan, I really didn't mean it."
"I met your sister-in-law this morning. She said she wanted to make some money, too. I thought everyone was dealing with jelly grass, so I asked her to come along. Who would have thought she would do something like this?"
Guo Ermei was almost crying in anxiety. Looking at the forty or fifty kilograms of leaves that were picked aside, she felt angry and regretful.
"Sister, I'm so sorry. I don't want your money today. Consider it my apology. I won't look for her again in the future, okay?"
Guo Ermei finally got a job that could earn money, and she felt very upset, but there was nothing she could do because she was the one who hired the person, so she had to be responsible.
"Sister Guo, I don't blame you for this, but you know that there can't be any mistakes. Sister Ting trusts you, so I naturally trust you too. But if I hadn't discovered what happened today, the consequences would be disastrous."
Su Xiaowan didn't really blame her, she just explained the seriousness of the matter to her.
"Well, I'll deduct these. In the future, you need to find someone to tell us in advance, so that we can at least know whether it's reliable or not."
"I won't even count the money today. Just consider it as my apology. I'm really grateful that Su Ting came to me. I feel really bad from the bottom of my heart for causing such a thing."
Guo Ermei took out the money she had saved in advance, including Li Xiufang's share.
"I'll only take these few dozen kilograms. You can take the rest."
Guo Ermei looked at the money in her palm, feeling more and more guilty and blaming herself. She choked up and said, "Sister Xiaowan, I'm sorry for you."
"Sister Guo, just remember this in the future. You all know what my sister-in-law is like. If this business fails, no one will make any money."
Guo Ermei nodded very carefully, "I understand. This will never happen again."
Because of this, she stayed behind to help clean up, and it was already past six o'clock when she finished.
Guo Ermei went to Xiao's house, scolded Li Xiufang, and forced her to pay back the money.
However, Li Xiufang immediately broke off the fight, and Guo Ermei was so angry that she pinned her to the ground and beat her.
Li Xiufang was beaten black and blue, feeling very aggrieved, but she kept the dollar.
But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Thinking about how no one bought the jelly she made before, she decided to secretly go and see how Su Xiaowan made it.
After dark, Su Xiaowan started busying herself in the kitchen, completely unaware of Li Xiufang who was hiding in the dark and staring at her through the window.
Looking at Su Xiaowan's skillful movements and the pot after pot of fragrant jelly, she felt jealous and angry.
Why is Su Xiaowan doing so well, but hers is not?
If she can't make money, Su Xiaowan can forget about it!
Li Xiufang was bitten by mosquitoes all over in the dark. She was waiting for Su Xiaowan to finish her things and take a rest before destroying all her jelly.
As long as she fails to deliver the goods on time, the canteen owner will definitely turn against her, and then she will have no money to earn.
Su Xiaowan cleaned up the kitchen, put everything in place, and went to wash up. After she was done, she locked the kitchen door and did not forget to check around.
After everything was done, she returned to the room. Looking at the sleeping Xixi, she kissed her forehead, and her fatigue dissipated a lot.
On the other side, Li Xiufang held the laxative in her hand and watched the light in Su Xiaowan's room go out, while looking around.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, she tiptoed towards her kitchen.
Seeing that the kitchen was locked, she cursed, "Su Xiaowan, you really think that everyone wants to eat you!"
That’s what she said, but since she couldn’t get in through the kitchen, she had to find another way.
She looked around and apart from the kitchen, the only place she could go was by the window, but that was a bit far away. She had to find something to pour the laxatives into the basin of jelly.
Li Xiufang could only go find a long enough stick nearby, wet it with water on the ground, and then use it to apply the laxative.
There was no light and the kitchen was pitch black. She took a flashlight, looked around, and secretly turned it on to illuminate the inside to determine the location of the pots.
After making sure, she grabbed one end of the stick and pushed it in little by little, but the distance was a bit far.
The stick was shaking from side to side, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to pour the powder in, so she had to turn on the flashlight.
But she didn't expect that the stick she found was still a little short of reaching the nearest basin.
Liu Xiufang looked around, made up her mind, took off her shoes, climbed to the window, and waved the flashlight in her mouth.
Suddenly there was a roar, "Who's there!"
