Chapter 60 Shen Yi Saves People
Su Yu touched the material, her smile gleaming with maternal love, "I'm sorry for the expense, this piece of material is big, I'll make a tunic for Xiao Tai tomorrow."
"No, no. Xiaotai will get married after the autumn harvest. I have already prepared her dowry. There is plenty of material! This is for you, just keep it well." Han said happily.
At this moment, Su Yan came back from outside with a wicker basket on her back. When she saw Su Tai, her eyes lit up and she trotted forward, "I found some small bubbles in the mountains. You can try some."
The so-called xiaopaoer is a kind of wild fruit often eaten by villagers. The only popular fruits at this time and space are peach, pear, apricot and plum. Other fruits are either niche or still classified as wild fruits.
There are only apricots in their area. The most common ones in the mountains are wild apricots, and the others are wild fruits. Xiaopaoer is sweeter than wild apricots and has more juice, but it has many seeds and not much flesh. At most, you can taste the sweetness in your mouth.
But it is also a good snack for villagers who face food shortages.
Su Tai took one and put it in her mouth to savor it.
Han exclaimed, "During the years of drought, I almost forgot that there were these wild fruits. I'll go into the mountains and get some tomorrow."
"That's right! I didn't expect that it was because Xiaoyu had a poor appetite after she became pregnant, so Yan'er was thinking about finding something for her to eat. It turned out that the snacks are sour and sweet, and Xiaoyu can eat a handful of them a day." Huang looked at her daughter lovingly, her words full of relief.
Han had no choice but to praise Su Yan again.
After Su Yan and Su Tai entered the room to talk, Han lowered her voice and asked, "What are your plans for Yan'er's marriage?"
Huang glanced around the room, took Han two steps away, and said, "She finally came to her senses. I dare not poke her in the stomach at this time. Fortunately, she is not too old. Let's talk about it after the New Year."
Han sighed, feeling that it was not worth it for Su Yan, and then she scolded Sang Rong severely, and even scolded Mr. Ma from the town.
After returning home, Han was still a little unhappy and complained to Su Chunlin about Su Yan.
Su Chunlin raised his eyebrows, approached Han, and said with a chuckle, "Tell me something that will make you happy."
"What's the matter?" Han subconsciously put down the work in his hands.
Su Chunlin said, "Something happened to the Ma family. I heard that Mr. Ma's eldest son was attacked and fell into the water, and he almost died. Now the Ma family is in chaos. Mr. Ma has been pestering Liu Zhenguan, insisting that he catch the murderer."
Han was shocked. "It's really unlucky for Liu Zhenguan to have such a father-in-law! We can't just ignore it!"
"That's right!" Su Chunlin shook his head and sighed, "But I heard that Mr. Ma's eldest son is a good person. He is the son of the first wife and has the same mother as the town magistrate's wife. This time, whatever Town magistrate Liu says must be thoroughly investigated."
Han blinked hard, and it took her a while to react, "No! What's there to be happy about! I hate the Sang family. Sang Yong's sister is Mr. Ma's second wife. If something happened to Mr. Ma's eldest son, Sang must be very proud! Maybe the accident of Sang's stepson is related to her!"
Su Chunlin was startled and quickly told Han to shut up. "Don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist. Be careful if someone hears it and spreads it out, it will be bad if the matter gets out of hand!"
Han rolled her eyes in annoyance and said stubbornly, "I just think this matter is closely related to the Sang family. There is no good person in that family!"
Su Chunlin was sweating profusely and quickly changed the subject.
Two days passed.
Shen Yi came to the door carrying a large deer leg.
The entire Su family came to watch the fun.
Su Chunlin couldn't stop smiling, and he wanted to tell everyone about his son-in-law's filial piety to him.
Su Tai asked, "Did you go hunting in the mountains?"
Shen Yi smiled and shook his head, "It wasn't in the mountains, it was by the river. I happened to encounter a herd of deer drinking water. It took a lot of effort to catch a stag and sold it for some money."
Su Tai gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shen, you are really making me look at you in a new light!"
Han said with a click of the tongue: "The price of game in the town is not high, but the blood and penis of a male deer should be able to sell for a lot of money."
Shen Yi nodded, "Liu Zhenguan bought the whole deer and gave him four taels of silver. I had to persuade him to save the two deer legs."
"Wow! That's quite a lot!" Han sighed, and then asked curiously, "Have you heard about the Ma family in town? I heard that the eldest son of the Ma family almost died, and Mr. Ma has been pestering Town Magistrate Liu to catch the murderer."
Shen Yi laughed dumbly, feeling quite helpless, "Aunt, I rescued Ma Xingteng from the water. What do you want to ask?"
"What?" Everyone in the Su family looked at Shen Yi in shock, not even caring about the deer leg.
Su Ming even brought a small stool for Shen Yi to sit on.
The whole family surrounded Shen Yi, staring at him eagerly, as if they were listening to a book.
Shen Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still followed their wishes and told them the situation.
“That day I got that buck by the river. It took a lot of effort to get the deer into the boat. Just as I was rowing out of the river, I saw this man floating on the water. He was lucky enough to be facing up.
When I pulled the man out of the water, he was not dead yet, but he was close to death. I thought I would give him a try and help him squeeze out the water in his stomach. Unexpectedly, he actually recovered.
I didn't dare to delay at that time. After all, we were on the river, and it was much faster to get to Dahe Town than to Moshi Town. So I sent the person to the Dahe Town Clinic.
The doctor said that thanks to timely treatment, Ma Xingteng survived, but his broken leg could not recover to normal and he became a cripple.
After he woke up, he introduced himself and asked me to take him back. I had no choice but to take him home, change the cart to a donkey cart, and take the deer with me. But strangely, when he arrived in Moshi Town, he did not go back to the Ma family, but asked me to take him to Town Official Liu.
Town Officer Liu thanked me and bought the deer for me. He also said he would come to thank me later, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I don’t know what happened next.”
Han was still not satisfied after hearing this, and pinched Su Chunlin fiercely, her expression excited, "What did I say! This matter must be related to Ma Xingteng's stepmother! Otherwise, why didn't he go home but ran to his brother-in-law's house?"
Su Chunlin felt pain and grimaced, "Mother, just talk, don't touch me!"
Shen Yi pondered and said, “I don’t know the specific situation, but those are other people’s affairs and have nothing to do with us.”
"That's right! Don't look for trouble." Su Chunlin agreed, covering his arm.
Han raised her chin proudly, dragged her deer legs and walked three steps away, then turned back abruptly and said, “Chen Yi, stay at home for dinner today, and discuss the marriage by the way.”
When it comes to marriage, everyone immediately forgets about the Ma family's troubles.
As a result, just three days later, news came from Sangjia Village that Sang Rong was engaged to Ma Yuqing, the youngest daughter of Mr. Ma, and the wedding date was set after the autumn harvest.
Su Yan felt upset and went to Su Tai to cry, "I have let it go, and I understand that the Sang family is not a good place to live, but I still want to know Sang Rong's attitude. Everyone says that Sang Rong and his cousin Ma Yuqing are a match made in heaven. If that's the case, why did he come to provoke me? The Sang family has better options, so why did he come to my house to ask for my hand in marriage?"
Su Tai suddenly had an idea, and when she thought of the venting words Han had said, she was shocked. She took the opportunity to meet Shen Yi at the market and told him her guess.
