six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 84 Anger
"Why are you standing here, child? It's cold in the morning." Mrs. Chen was the first to ask, her eyes full of unbearable.

At this time, Chen Ye had already been washed and cleaned. Because he had no clothes, Su Xiao took the mend clothes that Ning Guang put on them last night for him to wear.

Ning Guang was tall, almost twice as tall as Chen Ye. His long clothes reached his knees, and his trousers were rolled up countless times. At this moment, Chen Ye looked like a child who stole an adult's clothes, looking thinner and smaller.

His hair and face were all washed clean. According to Su Xiao, the water had been changed for so many barrels, and it was so dark that it turned black. After washing, Chen Ye was very delicate and gentle, and Mrs. Chen fell in love with it immediately. No, it was Su Liu who frowned watching him.

"I, let me see what I have to do." Chen Ye pursed his lips for a while, and then gave Su Liu a timid look before saying.

"You are so thin, what can you do?" Su Xiao looked him up and down and said.

Chen Ye's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said anxiously, "I can do anything." Then, he glanced left and right, saw the well in the yard, and said, "I'm going to fetch water."

After speaking, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch him, he ran to the well in a hurry, picked up the bucket by the well awkwardly, threw it in, and lay down on the side of the well to look down.

Chen Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You can't do this, carefully fall down."

But Chen Ye didn't seem to hear it. Seeing the bucket sinking, he was overjoyed and went to pull the rope, blushing and pulling the bucket up.

Both Su Xiao and Chen Shi wanted to step forward subconsciously, but they were stopped by Su Liu. Although they were anxious, they didn't understand Su Liu's intentions, so they could only suppress their impatience.

Chen Ye held back his strength to pull the rope, his hands were painfully pulled, but he didn't dare to let go, he knew that this was his only chance to stay in this house.

He was not very old, and his body was even thinner, even smaller than Su Xiao. He struggled to pull the bucket up. Seeing the bucket being pulled to the mouth of the well, he was overjoyed. Only when he stopped, he used the other hand to pull Qiqi.

The wooden bucket was as high as his calf, and he was holding the bucket with both hands, but his strength was already insufficient, and his body swayed, making Chen's and the others' eyes widen, and their hearts were in their throats.

Fortunately, Chen Ye managed to stabilize himself, and pulled up the wooden bucket full of water. However, due to exhaustion, he let go of his hand, and the wooden bucket fell to the ground, and the bucket of water was completely overturned.

Looking at the bucket that fell to the ground, Chen Ye pursed his lips into a straight line, and subconsciously looked at Su Liu, feeling a little uneasy.

Both Su Xiao and Chen Shi also looked at Su Liu, Su Xiao tugged on Su Liu's sleeve, and called softly: "Sister..."

At this time, Su Liu was completely sure that Chen Ye could never be a peasant, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how to fetch water.Ordinary farm children, those who are four or five years old can play with fewer children, and those who are six or seven years old can help the family with things, such as digging well water, and they have been taught by adults early on, but this old man Ye, it looks like he has never done this.

Chen Ye was also stubborn, and said: "I will do it well." Then he picked up the wooden barrel and threw it in again.

Su Xiao couldn't see it, and ignored Su Liu, ran over and pointed to Chen Ye. Perhaps it was the first experience, and with Su Xiao's advice, this time Chen Ye smoothly filled the bucket of water. Put it firmly on the ground.

"Sister, look, he did it." Seeing Chen Ye fetching a bucket of water, Xiao Su seemed more excited than him.

Su Liu glanced at her indifferently, and said: "It's time to prepare something and go to the stall. You and your mother go to the kitchen to see if there is anything missing." Then she looked at Chen Ye: "Come with me."

After hearing this, Su Xiao winked at Chen Ye vigorously.

Chen Ye was a little apprehensive. It wasn't the first time he was a beggar. He had learned to look at his face long ago when he was among the beggars. Although he was uneasy, he still stood in front of Su Liu.

"how old are you?"

"Ten years old."

"I think you talk like you have read books. You are not an ordinary farm boy, are you? Why did you end up in Baise Town?" Su Liu looked at him for a while and said, "I still say the same thing, if you want to go back Township, I can give you some money, although it is not much, but you can save some money."

Chen Ye knelt down, looked at Su Liu fixedly, and said: "My father was originally a scholar, and he also studied for two years. He is dead, and my mother... I am homeless. If you go to the countryside, you will only end up dead. Although I have never done farm work, I can learn from it. Can't you keep me?" He said, his eye circles turned red for a while, and his eyes were full of pleading.

Su Liu saw that what he said was [-]% true and [-]% false, she let out a long sigh, and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. It was just a moment of goodwill to help you back then. You can also see that there are only a few people in my family. People, my mother and younger sister are the most important things in my life, if someone threatens their lives and is not good for them, I..."

"I won't implicate you." Chen Ye said quickly, then lowered his head: "I really have nowhere to go, you just need to give me a bite to eat."

Su Liu frowned, feeling a battle between heaven and man for a while, and saw Su Xiao's clothes corner from the corner of her eyes, finally sighed, and said: "After breakfast, you can help us at the stall."

Chen Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, kowtowed several times on his knees, fearing that Su Liu would retort, he got up and ran to the kitchen.

Su Liu watched him disappear into the corner of the door, and shook her head, wondering whether her decision would bring them a blessing or a curse?

The figure of Chen Shi was missing in Liu Xiaobao, but there was a kid more. The neighbors who came to buy the buns were a little curious, Su Liu explained it like this.

"There is a lot of work at home, too busy, so my mother is at home. Our small stall also wants to make more varieties of dim sum. Our sisters alone are not enough manpower. It would be nice to have a boy to run errands." OK, I bought one."

So, it spread quickly that this boy named Chen Ye was Su Liu and the others' servants, walking in and out after Su Liu and the others.

There are so many people in Da'ao Village, and there is no one who doesn't pass it on. Everyone said that the three of Chen's mothers have lived well since they were separated, and they all bought servants to run errands.

When the words spread to the Su family's old house, Mrs. Huang scolded her a few times again, with a dark face all day long. Compared to Mrs. Chen and the others, they lived comfortably, but the old house was full of turmoil, and nothing went well.

"That kid is skinny and small, what can he do? Standing in front of me, I find it an eyesore, not to mention that he has to give food, waste food for nothing." Mrs. Huang sneered, "Your servant? Bah, It's just a pretense, but it's not enough for the three of you to avoid suspicion, but she still keeps bringing the man home? Who knows what the purpose of buying a kid is?"

These words were a bit dirty, Mr. Su glared at her, and said: "You can't say a few words? You said it when you were at home, and now that she is out, you also say, why do people come to you again?" Eye."

"What's the matter? Am I still wrong? Just like the three of them, whoever bought someone didn't just buy a girl to play around with, why did he just buy a kid? What's the picture?" Huang was very unconvinced .

"It's just for everyone's eyes, and the servants still focus on men and women? It's just a half-grown kid. Fortunately, you also want to go there."

After the reconciliation, it would be better for the Chen family and the others to get along with each other, but Mr. Su was also very upset that his family's bad things happened one after another, and their words were spread in the village, which made him even more anxious. There is a gap between activities in the village, out of sight, out of mind, out of hearing, out of mind.

In fact, Mr. Su was depressed. Su Liu and the others were obviously just three mothers, women and children, but they really lived their lives. In the past two days, he also strolled to Bei'aozi to see that haunted house. A fence was built, and it looked decent.

It's just that the weak women can live a good life, they still have the strength to work, but nothing goes well, how can they not be depressed?
"I know what she's thinking. If I can't give birth to a son, I just buy a kid and raise him as a son." Mrs. Huang snorted, thought for a while, and said, "When the kid grows up, maybe he will be a child." I'm still a aunt, yo ho, then it's a kiss on the bed."

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes." Old Master Su couldn't listen anymore, and said, "With this spare time, watch Jinfeng closely, see Tian'er running up the side of the mountain, what does he look like?"

Huang choked, and anger arose again at the mention of this.

Ever since she came back from the courtyard of Su Liu's house, Su Jinfeng followed like a demon, pestering her mother to say that she would marry Ning Guang, which made Huang so angry that her heart ached.

Naturally, the Huang family refused and held her back, but Su Jinfeng ran over there when she had time, and now there are some rumors in the village.

"That house is full of evil spirits. It's a good way to trap my daughter. She has a bad conscience. There is no decent person in the house." Huang said bitterly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Maybe it's her." What about lowering your head? If it doesn’t work, I have to ask the Eight Immortals for a method.”

In a hurry, she put aside the sewing basket in her hand, took off her shoes and left.

When Mr. Su saw it, he let out a long sigh. What are these things?
East wing.

"Really bought a kid?" Zhou sat up straight, looked at Su Chuntao and asked.

Su Chuntao sat depressed at the end of the kang and nodded, looked at her rough hands and said plaintively: "Mother, when will daddy come back? Let's let daddy buy a girl too, I really can't take it anymore, look at me Hands are out of shape."

Aggrieved, she stretched out her hands in front of Zhou's eyes, and said with red eyes: "How can this be a human life? Grandma is deliberately trying to exhaust me to death."

Mrs. Zhou glanced at it, and hated it in her heart. Not to mention Su Chuntao being wronged, Mrs. Zhou was also wronged. After Mrs. Chen left, her life was getting worse day by day, especially these days. Meat, listening to Huang's harsh words every day, even scolded her stomach, and after taking the anti-fetal medicine for a few days, she thought it was expensive, so she didn't give it to her.

Feeling angry in her heart, Mrs. Zhou sometimes thought hard, just let this piece of meat drop, so as to save bother and worry.

"Your father, I reckon he'll be back in these two days, and I'll tell you when he comes back." The Zhou family was also looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that Su Changsheng would come back to support them, but her father sent him there again. The next county is pulling goods.

When Su Chuntao heard this, the old man's face turned pale, and she complained: "Two more days?" Not to mention two days, she couldn't bear it for a moment, and said: "Mother, let's go to grandpa's house to live."

Zhou frowned, and said, "Mother, how can you go to your grandfather's house in this body?" Seeing her aggrieved face, she said softly, "You can be aggrieved for a while, there is nothing you can do about it."

"If I knew this would happen, I might as well not chase Su Liu and the others away." Su Chuntao muttered.

Zhou's face sank when she heard the words, and her lips slowly pursed. Su Chuntao saw this and hurriedly said: "Mother, I didn't say anything, I just felt that they are here, so I should be a servant."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was silent, Su Chuntao sat closer again and said, "It's as if they have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering when they left. It's good for them. Looking at it now, it seems that we are even more at a loss. If they don't Let's go, maybe why would you be scolded by grandma? Didn't Chen Meiniang swallow your breath to see your face? But it's only been a while since you left, and you've opened a stall again, and now you have bought a servant. If they didn't leave, the three of them were the ones being trampled on."
