Fubao was three and a half years old, and I was vying for favor from seven older brothers

Chapter 3 My Daughter Can Tell Fortunes

"Father, have you heard about the incident in the village?"

The eldest son Su Jin was cutting vegetables in one hand, and Su Tang beside him was feeding Su Qingqing rice porridge one mouthful at a time.

Su Qingqing wanted to drink it herself, but she couldn't resist Su Tang, so she swallowed it obediently, tilted her head to look at it, and sat without interrupting, while the other brothers were still busy outside.

"I heard that, if Qingqing was not afraid, we would have already..."

Su Tang frowned tightly, thinking about last night, he was afraid.

"Today, Auntie Xiu from next door came to ask me why I didn't collect the corn last night."

As soon as Su Jin mentioned it casually, Su Tang's face darkened.

"Just say that you are fast asleep, and you didn't hear the rain. Don't tell those people about Qing Bao. The people in the village have a lot of talk, and you can say what's black and what's wrong. Maybe you just let the nonsense go."

He ordered a few words, worried that other people's gossip would bring criticism to Su Qingqing.

An hour later, the seven sons of the Su family sat neatly in front of the table. Su Qingqing blinked and was embraced by the second elder brother Su Jinxing.

"Second brother, what are you eating?"

Su Qingqing was curious, what they ate seemed a little different from what she ate.

"Qingbao, this is for adults, not for children, be good, my second brother will buy you candied haws after dinner."

Su Jinxing held Su Qingqing in his arms and kept her from moving.

But Su Qingqing was restless, and secretly took a sip when Su Jinxing was not paying attention.

The moment the soup in the bowl entered her mouth, her little face twisted into a ball, she stuck out her tongue in pain, and hurriedly went to fetch water to drink.

"It's hard, it's hard."

The family laughed out loud at Su Qingqing's funny look, and Su Jin patted Su Qingqing on the back with a smile.

"I told you not to ask you to drink, it's bitter!"

"Big brother, Qingqing is curious, but this is so bitter, why do father and brothers have to drink such bitter soup?"

Hearing that, Su Jinyi and the rest suddenly fell silent. They didn't expect Su Qingqing to ask such a question, nor did they expect her to suddenly drink their soup.

In order to redeem Su Qingqing, they spent all their savings and hired a doctor, even more so. The last two chickens in the family were also kept by Su Qingqing to supplement her health, so they couldn't treat her harshly.

"Qing Bao, this is a meal for remembering bitterness. We have to eat this kind of meal every few days. You will understand when you grow up."

Su Jinyi didn't tell Su Qingqing the truth, she was still young and didn't need to understand this.

But if they didn't say it, how could Su Qingqing not understand that the Su family had paid too much for her!
"Big brother, did Qingqing cause trouble for the family?"

Su Qingqing raised her little head and rubbed her little hands nervously, she was afraid that they would dislike her and throw her away like Lin Dingyuan.

"No, how could Qing Bao think like that! You are the baby of our family, and your parents are looking forward to the stars and the moon. Qing Bao is no trouble."

Su Jinyi held her in his arms to comfort her.

Su Qingqing felt bad, and there was no way to continue like this. She had to find a way to make her family live a better life.

"Brother Su! Brother Su! The village is here to work."

Outside the door, a thin man was rushing towards Su's courtyard panting heavily.

"Li Sandi, slow down, what happened in the village?"

Su Tang put down the bowl and came out, Li San gasped and said, "Wolfs were caught in our village yesterday. The county magistrate came to the village in person, and he said that if anyone can kill those hungry wolves, not only will they be rewarded with 30 taels of money, but the wolves will also be rewarded." It's all yours!"

"The work is good, but the money is not easy to earn. These wolves have killed so many villagers. Even if they go, how many of them will come back alive?"

Su Tang's face was serious, they could risk their lives before, but now they have a daughter, so they have to spare their lives.

But he really needs money at the moment, otherwise how can he support his newly found daughter.

Su Tang sighed, "I won't talk about it beforehand, let's eat first."

Su Jin greeted people: "Li Sanbo, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't you eat something before leaving."

Li San waved his hands and smiled: "I still have work in the field, so I won't eat it. If you go to the mountains and call me, I don't have enough money for my son to marry a wife. See you later, I'll go dig the field." gone."

After he left, the family sat at the dinner table and finished their meal.

At noon, Su Qingqing stood in a daze in the courtyard with her head stuck. She wanted to go up the mountain to catch wolves. Those wolves were full of dead people's resentment. Without her, they would all die.

"Qingbao, what are you thinking? Seventh Brother will take you to catch crickets~"

A boy who was only ten years old behind him patted Su Qingqing on the head, sat beside her, and stretched out his hand to pinch her soft face.

The seventh son of the Su family, Su Jintian, the child picked up by Su Tang, looks fair and clean, and looks the prettiest in the village. He is often ridiculed as a "poor white-faced scholar".

"Brother Seven, is Daddy going to take the brothers to the mountains to catch wolves?"

Su Jintian was taken aback, how did she know!
"Qing Bao, this is an adult's business. Let's not get involved. How about we catch crickets?"

"I don't want~ Seventh brother, why don't you take Qingbao up the mountain?"

Su Qingqing shook her head, her little face was filled with unhappiness.

As soon as these words came out, Su Jintian's face darkened, "Qing Bao, this is not a joke, the mountain is very dangerous, there are wolves, they will eat you."

Su Qingqing refused to follow, she shook Su Jintian's sleeve with her small hand and said, "Seventh brother, you are the best, just take me up, I promise you to be good and not run around~"

"Qing Bao, I can't promise you this, it's too dangerous."

Su Jintian didn't let go of his mouth, if something happened, how could he explain to his father.

"Okay~"

Su Qingqing compromised for the time being. Anyway, she had a compass and a mahogany sword in hand, so she would go up the mountain by herself at worst.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Su Tang and his six sons were ready to go out with hoes and machetes on their shoulders. They brought all the sharp weapons they could bring, just in case, and they also brought sacks to store the corpses.

Su Qingqing poked her head to look at them eagerly.

"Qing Bao is good, I will take you to the market when Daddy comes back."

Su Tang touched Su Qingqing's head, and repeatedly asked Su Laoqi to take good care of her before leaving.

Su Qingqing nodded obediently, but she was thinking about how to get rid of Su Jintian and go up the mountain with them.

After they left, Su Qingqing found out that the wolf trap was not with her, which was the most important thing!
"Brother Seven, come quickly!"

Su Qingqing waved her little hands excitedly, and Su Jintian froze when he saw the wolf trap.

"This time I suffered..."

"Brother Seven, it seems that you can only take Qingqing with you. There are wolves everywhere now. Maybe the big bad wolf will come and eat Qingqing at night!"

Su Qingqing was overjoyed, now she can go up the mountain together!
