Chapter 52 Laughing Stock
Uncle Su yelled, "Mom, I can't bear it, give it to her!"

Grandpa Su's face was pale, and he held his stomach in agony: "Old woman, I've already given you two taels of silver, so this hundred coins won't make any difference. Ouch, I'm dying, dying..."

"Grandma, I don't want to die... woooo... I will never eat rabbit again..." Su Dabao cried sadly.

Grandma Su held her belly and tremblingly took out a string of copper coins, cursing, "Second son's wife, you damned thief, you instigated Dabao to steal rabbits for no reason. This month, no, for two months, you are not allowed to eat at the table. Ouch... it hurts..."

At this time, her stomach hurt, but her chest hurt more than her stomach.

Just these two rabbits cost me two taels of silver and one hundred coins. How many rabbits can I eat then?

Su Yaoguang took the money, thought carefully and walked out.

"Where are the medicines? Give them to us quickly." Seeing that she was about to leave, Grandma Su pretended to pull her, but Su Yaoguang dodged her.

Su Yaoguang covered her mouth and nose and said with a smile: "You don't need to take medicine for this minor illness. Just find a toilet and poop. Hurry up and be careful not to poop in your trouser pockets."

"Then why did you charge me a hundred coins?" Grandma Su glared at her with a fierce look.

"The method is a bit simple, but it's also a prescription. If you go to see a doctor, does he charge for the consultation and the prescription?" Su Yaoguang said, "Let's go, take your time."

"Su Yaoguang, you bitch... Ouch... I won't let you go... Ouch..."

Su Yaoguang left Uncle Su's yard triumphantly.

When she passed several houses, a few figures flashed by, and only came out after she had gone far away, looking at her back with fear.

"Did you see that? This little girl is not to be trifled with. Don't mess with her."

"We have no grudges against each other, so why would we mess with her and her mother? But this little girl is really scary."

Su Yaoguang handed the silver to Zhang Zhaodi.

Zhang Zhaodi put it in the box and said with a smile, "Let's see if they dare to come to our house and steal things again. My daughter, you still have a way."

"Mom, we have to hide this box well. Our house is so shabby, and if a thief gets in, we won't be able to protect it. I think we should hide them separately and not in the same place."

"Yes, yes, Mom will divide it into several boxes and hide it in several places." Zhang Zhaodi said, "When we make money, we will build a big house."

"Let's make some more money and rent a house in the city! Stay away from bad relatives and these bad things." Su Yaoguang said, "If we rent a house in the city, we can do business in the city. But this little money is not enough. If we are going to rent a house, we should rent one in a good location, open a shop in the front and live in the back."

"How much money will that cost?" Zhang Zhaodi asked. "What about our farmland?"

"As long as we can make money, we can sell this little piece of land to others at a low price. Mother, we are two women and it is impossible for us to farm for the rest of our lives. We have to make a living by other means."

The next morning, Su Yaoguang rented an ox cart and went into the city.

There is no market today, so if you want to go into the city you have to rent a separate one.

She rushed to the clothing store, where Chun'e was sighing. When she saw her come in, she hurried over to greet her.

"I'm sorry, sister. My cousin's marriage has changed. I'm sorry you made this trip in vain."

"What happened?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"Don't mention it." Chun'e sighed. "We were supposed to get married today, but who knew the groom would come and cancel the engagement last night? It's really infuriating."

"Don't be upset, sister. Is there any misunderstanding?"

"What kind of misunderstanding could there be? My cousin has been suffering from a lot of acne for half a month. He must have heard about it and didn't want to marry someone whose appearance would be damaged, so he called off the marriage."

"Didn't you ask a doctor to take a look?" "The doctor did, and he prescribed her some medicine. It worked, and the acne went away, but it left marks on her face that won't go away. She was once a beautiful girl, but now she has these marks on her face, like pockmarks. I was thinking of asking you to use makeup to cover it up so she could be a beautiful bride, but now I don't have the chance."

Su Yaoguang comforted Chun'e for a few words, and thinking that her trip wouldn't be in vain, she went to the bookstore to pick out some books. She picked out some medical books, hoping to combine them with medical knowledge to make some beauty creams.

"What a pitiful little girl, selling herself to bury her father at such a young age, how pitiful!"

"Brother Li, you have a wealthy family, you can buy it back!"

"What's the point of buying it if it's so ugly?"

Su Yaoguang came out of the bookstore and saw a lot of people gathered in front. He knew the reason from their conversation and went over to take a look.

A frail girl knelt there, a blade of grass stuck in her hair. Behind her lay a rotten mat, rolled up, with the exposed feet revealing a body.

The girl lowered her head, but the birthmark on half of her face looked a little scary.

"It's so ugly, who would buy it?"

"Yes."

In front of the girl were written the words "Selling Myself to Bury My Father" in large letters, and below them were small words introducing herself. When Su Yaoguang saw the words "Knowing Medical Skills" written by the girl, he was surprised.

This word seems familiar, and this introduction also seems familiar.

"Can you raise your head?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"Hey, little girl, you're a girl yourself, and you're still making her look up! Don't you want to buy it?"

"You can tell her face is incredibly ugly without even looking up!"

The girl raised her head when she heard Su Yaoguang's voice, revealing a face with half of it white and the other half covered with black birthmarks.

Su Yaoguang's eyes were full of shock.

is her.

Jiang Jing, her best sister in her previous life.

In her previous life, when she and Jiang Jing met, she was already the wife of a top scholar, and Jiang Jing was a well-known female doctor. She mentioned that she had a rough life, but she didn't mention selling herself to bury her father.

In her previous life, she had been constantly revolving around Xiao Yanci, and hadn't met Jiang Jing earlier. But in this life, it had happened so much earlier.

"I will help you bury your father, come with me!" Su Yaoguang said.

Jiang Jing kowtowed to her: "Thank you, benefactor."

"Stop kneeling, get up." Su Yaoguang helped Jiang Jing up. "Where do you plan to bury him?"

"We are refugees, without a home, nowhere to return to. All I want now is for him to rest in peace." Jiang Jing's eyes were red. "It doesn't matter where he is buried."

Su Yaoguang and Jiang Jing were both girls, so it wasn't enough for them to bury the body alone. So they spent money to buy a coffin at the charity cemetery, and then rented a funeral team to bury Jiang Jing's father.

After all this, it was getting late and they had to rush back to the city. After Jiang Jing said goodbye to her late father, Su Yaoguang took her back to the city and rented a carriage to return to the village.

"My benefactor has done me great good. Jiang Jing has no way to repay him. The only way I can do is to serve as your slave. From now on, you are my master, and I am your slave." Jiang Jing knelt down in the carriage.

"What master or not? I don't care about that. I see that you are filial and I can't bear to see you being bought by someone with bad intentions, so I just want to help you. If you have nowhere to go, just stay at my house and we can call each other sisters from now on. You are younger than me, so I will call you my sister. In the early years, our family had only my mother and I to depend on each other. Seeing your and your father's situation, I feel that we are in the same boat." Su Yaoguang said, holding Jiang Jing's hand.
