Chapter 013 Why are you so kind?
"We're leaving, be good!" Su Jing touched her head.
Su Wan watched his brothers go away. During this time, Su Chen looked back and saw that they were still standing at the door. When she saw him looking back at him, she waved at him. Su Chen turned around and couldn't help but smile.
Until the brothers had completely disappeared, Su Wan was about to go back to the room when he heard the laughter of girls from the other end of the road.
Three girls passed by the Su family yard. The one standing in the middle was a slightly older girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other two were about the same age as Su Wan.
When they saw Su Wan, they stopped at the same time. One of them was carrying a basket covered with floral cloth.
Su Wan also turned around and looked at them.
"Are you Brother Su's biological sister?" the girl in the middle looked at her and asked with a kind smile on her face.
Su Wan nodded.
The girl on the left curled her lips and looked at Su Wan from head to toe. When she touched her pretty face, the disgust on her face became more and more obvious.
Su Wan didn't know how he had offended her, as it was their first meeting.
"What's your name?" the sister in the middle asked her again.
Su Wan answered her questions honestly. After several conversations, he learned their names. The three of them were girls from the village. The one in the middle was He Jiaolan, the daughter of the village chief. The one on the left was Chen Yinghong, and the silent girl on the right was He Jiaolan's sister, He Jiaoxing.
September came and many pine mushrooms grew on the mountain, so they went to the mountain together to pick pine mushrooms, intending to pick more and sell them on the street.
Speaking of Chen Yinghong, Su Wan knew her. She was Gu Yue's playmate and close friend since childhood. Later, she became Gu Yue's personal maid. Gu Yue married her to a guard in the male protagonist's mansion. Her marriage life was unhappy because her husband was addicted to gambling. The book only briefly described her ending.
No wonder she disliked me so much, it turned out that she was standing up for Gu Yue. But Gu Yue was already a young lady now, and the identity change had nothing to do with her, so why was she so malicious?
However, after talking for a long time, Su Wan's attention was mostly on the pine mushrooms they picked. When she heard that they could be sold for money, she became excited.
She is short of money now, a lot of money!
So, she went up with a smile and started chatting with He Jiaolan. He Jiaolan also had a role in the original novel. She was the admirer of the eldest brother Su Jing, but her courtship was fruitless. One reason was that her status was not worthy of him, and the other was that Su Jing did not like her.
"Sister Guerlain, where do you pick your pine mushrooms?"
She spoke softly and her voice was particularly pleasant. Even a girl like He Jiaolan couldn't stand it and couldn't refuse:
"Sister Su Wan, there are many pine trees on the mountains near our village. These pine fungi grow under the pine trees. It rained a while ago, and now they have emerged!"
"Why are you asking this, Sister Su Wan? Do you want to pick them too?"
Su Wan nodded immediately after hearing this:
"Yes, Sister Jiaolan, I want to go too, but I just got back and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I don't know how to get there!"
"If you want to go, we'll go up the mountain again tomorrow morning. You can come with us!"
He Jiaolan invited Su Wan to go with her without saying a word. She knew that Su Wan was Su Jing's biological sister. For no other reason than to establish a good relationship with her so that she could see Su Jing more often in the future.
But Chen Yinghong was unhappy when she heard this and tugged at He Jiaolan's sleeve:
"Sister Jiaolan, why did you bring her along? Look at her hands, they're so delicate, do you think she can work? The road up the mountain is not easy to walk on, and she'll get angry after walking a few steps. She'll hold us back and delay our work!"
"Yinghong, Sister Su Wan will be from the same village as us from now on. You are of similar age, so it's only natural that you should take care of her. It's precisely because she can't do it that we have to take her with us!"
He Jiaolan explained to her patiently, and her words gave Su Wan a good impression.
"Sister Jiaolan, why are you so kind? Forget it, if you want to take it with you, then take it with you. I won't care about anything that happens anyway!"
Chen Yinghong went back first with the basket in a huff. He Jiaolan looked at Su Wan helplessly.
"Don't worry, Sister Su Wan. Yinghong is just such a straightforward person. She doesn't have a bad heart!"
"It's okay, then Sister Jiaolan, let's make a deal. Let's go to the mountain tomorrow morning. Remember to call me to go with you!"
Su Wancai didn't care about Chen Yinghong's opinion. She didn't care. Her goal had been achieved anyway.
After talking to He Jiaolan for a few more words, the two sisters went back together. Su Wan found that He Jiaolan was quite talkative, but her younger sister didn't say a word.
In the evening, I continued to steam pumpkin rice, fried potato pancakes, made steamed corn bread, stir-fried some shredded cabbage to go with the rice, and took out half a bowl of pickled radish from the jar.
As the sun was setting, Su's five brothers came back, and Su Wan boiled two pots of hot water for them to take a bath.
When Su Jing came back, he found that Su Wan had prepared the meal. It was delicious and had water ready for them to wash their hands. They were so well-behaved.
Su Yun fell silent and stopped provoking Su Wan. Maybe he became obedient after being taught a lesson by his elder brother?
While eating, he savored the food made by Su Wan carefully. He didn't expect that an ordinary steamed bun could be made so beautifully, which made him have a better appetite.
Su Wan didn't understand why he had so many micro-expressions while eating. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he relaxed his brows, and sometimes he looked at the steamed bun in his hand and fell into deep thought. It was just a steamed bun, how could he see any wrinkles?
The battlefield was cleaned very cleanly. Su Chen couldn't help but burp after eating, which made Su Wan laugh.
Yueyue didn’t cook much at home before, because her cooking skills were just average, so every time they came back exhausted from work, they would still cook for them. It felt so good to have a meal as soon as they got home.
"The kitchen has hot water. Go wash up, brothers! You must be itching after cutting rice all day!"
Su Wan noticed that their necks and hands were all red, probably from scratching themselves.
In this weather, the brothers were originally planning to just go to the river to take a bath, but they couldn't bear to refuse Su Wan's kindness, so only Su Yun went back to the room to get clothes and went to the river.
In the room, the clothes washed during the day were neatly folded and placed at the head of the bed, and you could still smell the scent of sunshine on them.
"Su Yi, do you want to go to the river together?"
Su Yun thought, these five people are waiting in line to take a shower, who knows how long they will have to wait.
"Okay, if you're afraid of the dark, I'll accompany you!"
After hearing his high-sounding excuse, Su Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes. You played all the cowardice.
"Sister Wanwan, my fourth brother and I are going to wash in the river. My eldest, second, and third brothers will wash at home. We're afraid there won't be enough water!"
After all, Su Yi is careful and will explain it clearly so that Su Wan won't think too much.
