Although Su Qingluan was not too busy these days because the store was in a "transition period" and it would take some time for the new series to be put on the shelves, she was still busy with the move.
Although Song Bo and Yao Guang would help, Su Qingluan, who had the least physical strength, did not need to help with the heavy work. However, she still had to do the storage of many things, such as spices and kitchen utensils, by herself - after all, these were her "survival tools", and it was still very tiring to run around.
After a busy period of time, Su Qingluan, who was so exhausted that she felt like her whole body was falling apart, remembered that she had to write a letter to her family to report her safety when she arrived in the capital.
The length of this letter had to be carefully chosen, and it was naturally impossible to tell the whole truth - Su Qingluan had never intended to tell her parents from the beginning that she and Mu Xingzhi had a "marriage by agreement".
So Su Qingluan planned to write this letter to her parents under the identity of "Mu Xingzhi's newlywed wife".
While writing, Su Qingluan smiled bitterly: she absolutely could not keep the fact of Mu Xingzhi's "disappearance" a secret. In fact, in order to fit her "character setting", when she first arrived in Xunyang County, Su Qingluan had already used the excuse that "Mu Xingzhi was in poor health and it was inconvenient for him to hold a pen" to prevaricate.
If Su Qingluan uses similar methods over and over again, not only will she not be able to hide it, but it will also cause her parents to worry unnecessarily and come to Xunyang County.
However, Su Qingluan had no intention of coming to Xunyang County from the beginning, so it was not until she arrived in the capital that she actually wrote about Mu Xingzhi's "disappearance" in the letter.
After finishing the letter home with deep resentment and bitterness, Su Qingluan sighed deeply. Yaoguang, who was sitting opposite her, saw her and asked curiously, "What's with that expression on your face?"
"I feel very sorry for my parents. They are not young anymore, but they have to endure this kind of shock..." Although Yang and Su Guangfu are less than 40 years old, according to the pace of people getting married at the age of 13 or 15 and becoming parents at the age of 16 or 17 these days, being in their thirties is really "not young".
Even those who are quicker can become grandmothers.
However, when other daughters have already married and had children, or even had a second child, she is definitely destined to be childless. Not only that, her son-in-law is also destined to "die early."
Su Qingluan knew the truth, but she could never tell Yang and Su Guangfu, as she didn't know how much more worried and concerned they would be if she did.
Su Qingluan felt a little guilty when she thought of this, but if she had not agreed to join Mu Xingzhi's team, she was afraid that her family would have been manipulated by the Xie family into doing whatever they wanted.
Su Qingluan sighed, put the letter into the envelope and handed it to Yaoguang.
Yaoguang naturally did not intend to send the letter directly to Huaxi Village, but to send it back through a "relative" in Xunyang County - of course, this "relative" was also from Mu Xingzhi's side.
At this time, Song Bo was knocking on the door outside. Su Qingluan just stood up to open the door, but because her body was too tired, she felt sore all over and grimaced after such a simple action.
Perhaps because they thought they were too incompetent, Song Bo and Yao Guang looked at Su Qingluan at the same time as if nothing had happened. Su Qingluan felt that she was despised by both the old man and the young man.
But there are some things that, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can pretend they don't exist.
Song Bo came knocking on the door because he wanted to buy two people from the human traffickers at the market. There were only two people in his house, but there were three courtyards and a backyard, which was really a bit too much - not to mention that Song Bo and Yaoguang each had other tasks in secret. Even though Su Qingluan didn't pay attention to their whereabouts, she understood that there was a reason why they often "disappeared".
Although Su Qingluan herself despised human trafficking, she also understood that each era had its own rules. In this era, human trafficking itself did not have any moral burden. It was even common to see parents selling their own children for money on the streets.
Su Qingluan was angry and confused at first, but now she has been able to accept the idea of "buying two people from the human traffickers" relatively calmly.
But she called Song Bo: "How many more people do you think we should buy for the family?" Although they were master and servant in name, Song Bo was strictly speaking just her "colleague". Su Qingluan felt that such matters should be discussed together.
As for Yaoguang… Su Qingluan had chatted with her more than once, but aside from food, Yaoguang wasn't particularly interested in such "worldly matters." In her words, "It's still more satisfying to crouch in the bushes and ambush and kill."
Song Bo thought for a moment and said, "There must be at least four or five, right?"
Su Qingluan nodded and asked, "If the position doesn't necessarily require a man, such as the doorman, can you try to have girls for the remaining positions?"
Song Bo was stunned, and Yaoguang also stopped and looked at Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan knew her request was very strange, but she had prepared an explanation: "From the outside, it seems that the 'masters' of this house are only Yaoguang and I, both of whom are female. He has too many male servants serving him closely. Is it a good idea to say this?"
Song Bo nodded: "Madam is indeed very thoughtful." At least on the surface, he had no suspicions.
In fact, the reason why Su Qingluan really wanted to choose girls was not because of what she said, but simply because she felt that boys would be sold into hard labor at most, but girls would not necessarily be sold into such a situation. The better ones would be bought by wealthy families to be maids or even concubines.
Worse...
Su Qingluan recalled some scenes and slowly closed her eyes - as if by doing so, she could isolate the shrill and desperate crying from her ears.
After agreeing on the main business, Su Qingluan waved her hand and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to bed. You two should go to bed early." After all, everyone was familiar with each other, so Su Qingluan was very rude in waving her hand to send people away.
Yaoguang was very surprised: "Don't you usually go to bed late? Why are you going to bed so early recently?"
Song Bo knew about this: "Yaoguang doesn't know, but Madam has to get up early every day to practice that 'physical technique'." He had a slight smile on his face, looking a bit like someone who was talking about a younger generation in the family who liked to make trouble.
Su Qingluan was in tears: As expected, I was being laughed at.
Yaoguang's eyes lit up: "Is 'Physical Training' some powerful technique? I want to learn it too!"
The corner of Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: "That...it's not that great actually..." The so-called "physical skills" should be called "children's radio gymnastics", which is the kind that Su Qingluan did during breaks when she was in school.
However, the word "gymnastics" did not exist in this era, and it was too complicated to explain. However, the word "taishu" did exist, and compared with "martial arts", this word was more used for health preservation, such as "Wu Qin Xi" and so on.
The reason why Su Qingluan endured the shame and picked up the radio gymnastics was because she found in the past few days that her physical strength had declined significantly after being in the carriage for a long time, so she decided to put exercise on her schedule.
