Chapter 91: Su Wan is a lucky star
"I'll help your fourth brother keep his money. He's careless, and I'm worried about him. But you're calm and composed, so we're very confident. You're a man of your own ideas, and mother knows that!"
To be honest, she and Yueyue have been mother and daughter for more than ten years, but she didn't dare to say that she was absolutely confident in her. However, after spending some time with Su Wan, just from the things she did, she knew that she was a person with ideas and plans, and was much more careful than Yueyue. This had to be admitted.
"Mom, I want you to keep it for me, and I have money, it's the salary from my fourth brother!"
If Su Wan had her mother by her side since childhood in modern times, she would definitely be a mama's girl.
The little girl pulled her arm and acted coquettishly. The feeling was completely different from Gu Yue's. She was so delicate and soft that she couldn't bear to refuse.
"Then... then mother will keep it for you and won't touch a single cent of your money!"
Su's mother's heart softened and she immediately agreed.
"Thank you, mother!" Su Wan hugged her arms and rested his head on her shoulder.
After all, they are blood relatives. Her soul has entered into Su Wan's body, and she can no longer ignore the sense of intimacy.
As soon as Mr. Su entered the door, he saw such a heartwarming scene. He originally thought that since he had just returned, he must feel distant from his daughter. He was afraid that his daughter would not be close to them. Now it seems that he was overthinking.
It was Su Wan's own initiative that narrowed the distance.
At night, after washing up, Su's father and mother lay on the bed. Su's mother discussed with Su's father the matter of Su Wan giving her the silver.
"We won't touch the money the children earn themselves. We'll keep Wanwan's money for her dowry. We've saved more than thirty taels of silver for Ajing over the past few years, but it's far from enough for him to take the exam. Now that we have the banknotes given by Master Jiang, we don't have to worry about it for the time being.
Tomorrow, find a time to pay back the last fifteen taels owed by the village chief, as well as the three taels owed by Old Zhao and the two taels owed by Old Chen. Pay them all back, and you'll have peace from now on!"
Su's mother made some plans and explained her thoughts to her husband.
Father Su nodded in approval:
"It was Wanwan who came up with the idea of giving the fourth brother money. You should take some out and add it to hers. She's old enough and will be engaged in two years. She needs to save up some dowry so that she can be strong in her husband's family. We can't do anything for her, but she always thinks about us. She's the lucky star of our family. Things have gradually improved since she came. We should treat her the same way we treated Yueyue before, or even better!"
Father Su is a taciturn man. He doesn't speak nice words, but a father's love is deep.
"I know, don't worry!" Su's mother understood all these principles.
I still remember that day when Madam Gu and Mr. Gu suddenly came to the house with their concubine, looking very aggressive. The concubine was beaten so badly that her face was bruised and her hair was pulled out in several patches. It was really scary.
She personally admitted that it was the year when Su's mother worked as a maid in the Gu family's kitchen that Su Yang was exactly nine months pregnant. She was in a hurry and gave birth to a baby girl in the servant's room before she had time to return home. Normally, a baby girl should have been born at around nine and a half to ten months.
She fainted from the pain after giving birth and didn't have time to see her children. So the concubine bribed a few servants and switched the two children without anyone noticing.
The reason for her premature birth was that she was tricked into drinking a labor-inducing drug and was deliberately born on the same day as Mrs. Gu.
Even if it was a son she gave birth to at that time, he would have been taken away. The concubine wanted to take revenge on Madam Gu. It would be best if an outsider's bloodline inherited the Gu family's property to vent her anger. The Gu family, who always valued bloodline, would definitely be angry to death in the end.
That day, Madam Gu cried so hard while holding Yueyue that she fainted. She was in a hurry to go back and deal with the concubine. She was afraid of scaring the child, so she didn't take her away that day, but sent someone to pick her up the next day.
It only took one night from the incident to Yueyue being taken away, and their biological daughter came back the next day. The family really didn't react in time, which is why they were so confused and unfamiliar at first.
…
The next morning, Su's mother got up early and cooked for the children. Su's father looked at the chickens, rabbits, and a puppy in the yard, and felt that life at home was becoming more and more homely.
He felt very happy as he looked at the livestock. He fed them and made a clucking sound to tease the chickens.
The chicks have grown a lot after eating the husks. The rabbits should be about to give birth, so I feed them vegetable leaves every day.
When Su Wan woke up, she saw this scene. There was already smoke coming out of the kitchen.
"Wanwan, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Father Su smiled at her.
She had just gotten up, her hair was still disheveled, and she was still not fully conscious.
Mother Su came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise, looked at Su Wan and waved to her:
"Wanwan, come here, let me comb your hair!"
Su Wan was stunned, but still walked over obediently.
Su's mother asked her to sit on a chair, then took a comb and combed her hair. She took out a few red hairbands from somewhere and braided her hair into complicated braids. Su Wan, who had never had any decoration on her head, looked even brighter and more charming with this bright red embellishment.
She also braided hair, but Su's mother's hands were more skillful and her movements were gentle.
Finally, she took out a bronze mirror to show her. Su Wan looked at herself and found that it was indeed much more refined and beautiful than her own. There were some more elements and a small bun on the head, and finally two braids were combed to hang on both shoulders, which was gentle and playful.
"Thank you, mother!"
Su's mother looked at her and thought, she must have had someone to comb her hair for more than ten years. She remembered that the day she came back, her hair was combed very delicately and beautifully.
From then on, she would comb her hair every day.
"My daughter Wanwan is so pretty. I will do your hair every day in the future, okay?"
Su Wan's nose suddenly felt sore. What should she do? When did she become so easily defeated?
"Yeah!" Su Wan nodded vigorously.
As soon as Su Yun and the others got up, they immediately noticed something different about Su Wan.
As expected, girls of thirteen or fourteen still need to dress up to look more beautiful.
"Fourth brother, why are you looking at me like that?" Su Wan played with her braids, waiting for praise.
"Today's bun suits you very well!"
"It looks good, right? My mother combed it for me!" Su Wan looked up proudly.
"No wonder, of course it looks good when my mother combs it." Su Yun insisted on not saying what she wanted to hear, which made Su Wan speechless.
Third brother was honest and praised her beauty the first time he saw her.
Jiang Yu naturally noticed the difference in the little girl today, but he thought that if she could wear a playful and beautiful skirt, she would be even more stunning.
After breakfast, Father Su took the silver and went out to pay off his debts. He first paid off the debts owed to the Zhao family and the Chen family, and finally went to the village chief's house.
The couple agreed to invite the men from these families to their home for dinner and drinks.
After all, this debt has been owed for a long time, so I have to show some appreciation.
