The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 63

After getting up early and having dinner, the family sent away the youngest Su who was also frowning.

Last night, when he heard that Su Ling and Su Chang's errands were gone, he looked like the sky was about to fall.There was no one at home to comfort him.

When I went out this morning, I was thinking about my son’s errand, and the family can only live on the wages he earns from repairing the embankment, and whether he should give the wages to his elder brother at night.

But if you don't give it to the elder brother, where will the money for the medicine come from?Oh, what a sad person!
After finally getting Boss Su out of the house, Su Ling went to Su Yuanlai's house who had a horse in the village to rent a carriage.

Hearing that Su Ling said that he was going to the county seat, Su Yuan was very happy to come. After receiving [-] Wen, he just asked Su Ling to feed the horse when he came back, and send it back when it is not used. It would be okay to use it for a few more days.

Su Ling didn't think much about it, but when he saw the skinny horse, his heart suddenly jumped: How long has it been since this horse has been well fed? Moving cars?In case he died of exhaustion on the way, would he pay for his horse?

Just as he was thinking about getting back the money for renting the carriage, he stopped renting the horse, so he heard Su Yuan come and say: "Brother Ling, I won't hide it from you, our family can't afford this horse. Not to mention how much fodder we eat a day, my family can’t afford enough water for the horse to drink, but after raising it for several years, I’m reluctant to see it die before my eyes. If you see that the horse can be used, take it with you Yes, if there is water and fodder, just feed a little, I can’t feed it, I’m starving to death, send it back, and it will be an addition to my family.”

Su Ling's nose felt a little sore when he heard that, so he still agreed.Compared with Su Yuan coming home, at least there is a well in the backyard of his house.

Leading the horse back home, Su Xiaoye couldn't help shaking her head when she saw it. In a disaster year, not only the people are pitiful, but the animals are also pitiful.

While Su Ling and Su Chang went to catch fish in the backyard, Su Xiaoye secretly took a carrot from the farm and fed it to the horse's mouth. Seeing the horse eating with tears, Su Xiaoye felt strange.

Afraid that it would be too thin to pull the car, and would exhaust herself to death, Su Xiaoye secretly fed it a health-enhancing pill. Considering its size, the effect of a pill should not be obvious.

After feeding a few more carrots, Su Xiaoye also went to the backyard to help.

It's been a while since I sold fish, but this time Su Xiaoye put fish in the well a lot. She packed four big baskets, and there were quite a few in the well. The whole family was so happy that they wondered where the well was connected. This underground river, the amount of fish, even when the river dried up at the beginning of the year, and everyone went fishing, they didn't catch so much.

When they came to the front yard again, Su Ling said 'huh' when he saw the big white horse standing in the yard with his head held high, "Why does this horse look stronger than when I brought it here?"

Not only did he feel that the horse was stronger, but Su Xiaoye felt that the horse was quite different from before.

Although she was still so thin that her ribs could be seen, she was very energetic, but could she admit that the horse had grown stronger?Of course it is impossible!

Su Xiaoye said: "Brother, you read it wrong, I don't think it's much different from just now."

Su Chang didn't pay much attention to how thin the horse was before, so he nodded when he heard the words, "That's right, how could it be so strong so quickly? It must have been drinking water and regained energy, so it looks strong."

Su Ling was suspicious, but he also felt that he might have misread it.

Put the four baskets of fish on the car, and covered it with a thick straw mat, and then drove the car out.

Xu Zhixiang sent them to the door, told them to be careful all the way, and didn't close the door until the carriage was far away.

Compared with her daughter going to sell fish alone, with her two sons to accompany her, she felt more at ease even if she went to Liu'an County, which was farther away.
