Chapter 13 Do you think she is easy to bully just because she is young?
"Mother, it's more than one string of coins and two hundred coins. The total is one string of coins and two hundred and fifty coins. Dad's medicine and the bean flour cakes cost fifty copper coins in total. And then there's the rice and flour sent by the wealthy families. It's quite a lot!"
The alert was lifted, and Su Da and Su Er sat back by the brazier and began to vividly describe the process of their selling pears.
It was the middle of winter, and fresh fruits were scarce at this time of year. As soon as Su Da and Su Er appeared at the market with baskets on their shoulders, they attracted a lot of attention.
What's more, the pears they brought were of really good quality, with bright colors, well-proportioned sizes, and no blemishes on the skin. They felt heavy in the hand, and an expert could tell whether they were good or not just by weighing them.
The two brothers were also lucky. Just as they found an empty space to set up their stall, a servant from a wealthy family came to ask them and took them directly to the back door of the wealthy family. After asking for instructions, they were taken to meet the owner of the house and sold all their goods in less than half an hour.
"The young master of the wealthy family grabbed a pear and ate it right there. The juice splashed everywhere after one bite, and the flesh was fresh, tender and sweet... It's a pity that you didn't follow him and saw the young master stomping his feet and shouting 'Buy! Buy them all!'" Su Da's excitement had not completely subsided until now, and his eyes were shining.
One string of coins costs more than two hundred coins!
I earned two baskets of pears!
In the past, their family might not be able to earn this much money even if they worked hard for half a year!
The two brothers rushed home in great excitement, their feet floating on the snow the whole time.
It was not until I entered the house and sat by the brazier that I felt completely at ease.
It's not a dream, it's real, they really made a lot of money.
Old Mrs. Su had already put the money in her arms, her hands were still shaking uncontrollably, and she didn't say a word.
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were just as excited as their husband. Despite their youth, they couldn't hide their feelings in front of their family. "Two baskets of pears, there must be at least two hundred of them. If that wealthy family buys them all at once, will they be able to finish them all?"
He Daxiang asked this question. Su Er smacked his lips, his eyebrows raised high in a show of pride. "You don't know this. Do you think people really keep all the pears they buy for themselves? Pears of this quality, I guarantee you won't find anything like them even in the capital! Plus, it's winter and there's not much fruit to begin with. Bringing a basket when you're using connections or favors is more substantial than any other gift! Rich families are all shrewd people, they won't do business at a loss. Besides, one tael of silver is heavy in my eyes, but in the eyes of rich families, it's actually not a lot of money at all. I'm so confident that I won't return the goods after I sell them. I'm sure I'll get the money!"
He Daxiang nodded vigorously.
Isn’t it?
That is the magic fruit given by their sweet baby!
I have no guilt in selling more than one coin!
The person who bought the pears had good taste and made a profit!
"Mom, why don't we eat first? My second brother and I didn't have time to eat during the time we were going back and forth. We are so hungry." Su Da glanced at the pancakes warming in the pan on the brazier. He was really hungry.
I didn’t notice it when I was excited, but now my mood has slowly calmed down and my stomach is also empty.
Old Lady Su clapped her hands on her apron. "Eat! Let's cook meat tonight! Let's make soup with that fish. Yuelan hasn't had any good food since her confinement, and she caught a cold, so she needs some nourishment."
Su Er and He Daxiang had no objection to this at all, "Give the fish to sister-in-law!"
Tianbao can only eat well if sister-in-law eats well.
There was no way around it before because we didn’t have the conditions, but now that we have food, we have to take care of our sweet baby first!
The little kid is a great contributor to the family!
The three little guys, Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu, didn't know what the adults were talking about. They were happy as long as there was something delicious.
At noon that day, the Su family swept away the gloom of the past few days, and the whole house was filled with a bright and cheerful atmosphere.
Tianbao was sleeping next to her grandfather. She moved her eyelids when he was making a fuss outside. When the adults finished talking and started eating, she smacked her lips and fell asleep again.
Old man Su was watching over the child, unwilling to take his eyes off him for a moment, taking in all the child's little expressions, with smiles in his eyes and eyebrows.
The adults had eaten their fill, but Mrs. Su was worried that Tianbao was hungry, so she dug her up and fed her.
Back in the small room where he slept with his mother, Tianbao now lay down and did not resist eating. He always ate ferociously and viciously like a little animal pouncing on his food.
Meanwhile, her father tiptoed into the room, his face beaming with joy. "Mom has already stewed the fish. Drink more fish soup to get enough milk. Yuelan, drink more later. Whether our sweet baby can eat her fill every meal depends on you!"
Liu Yuelan subconsciously covered her daughter's ears and said angrily, "You are so frivolous. What are you saying in front of my daughter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Mother said you've hurt yourself this time. I told you to drink more soup not only for me, but also for yourself. If you get postpartum illness, you'll suffer for the rest of your life!" Su Da finished lecturing his wife seriously. When his daughter wasn't prepared, he quickly kissed her on the cheek, his eyes narrowed into slits. "My daughter, we've sold all the pears and made enough money! It's enough for us to get through to spring. Then we can plant all the fields at home. Daddy promises not to let you go hungry! When you grow up, Daddy will buy you delicious food! You must grow up quickly."
Tianbao was caught off guard by the sneak attack and almost bit off the guy who was delivering his rations.
Liu Yuelan cried out in pain and slapped the man hard with her backhand.
Su Da rubbed his face expressionlessly.
Okay, he will take the blame no matter how big it is that his daughter throws at him!
After waiting for his daughter to eat her fill, Su Da couldn't wait to hold the child in his arms. He ignored his daughter's defensive posture of pursing her lips and kicking her legs, and happily carried her around the room in circles. "Dad bought some bean flour cakes today and shared them with your three brothers. You are too young to eat good things. Don't worry, Dad will remember them all and will give you a meal in the future!"
The baby was small, soft and smelled of milk. Holding it in his arms made Su Da feel physically and mentally satisfied. He was reluctant to let go and turned into a chatterbox, chattering non-stop.
Tianbao couldn't speak, but endured it with all his might, keeping his eyes alert at all times.
As she expected, her father thought she wasn't paying attention, so he came over and tried to poke her with his stubble again.
Tianbao's eyes moved slightly.
With a slap, Su Da was hit in the mouth by something, it was cold and caught him off guard.
Before he could come to his senses, the hidden weapon fell to the ground with a thud.
The couple looked down in the direction of the sound.
“???”
“!!!”
"Fish, fish! Fish?!"
The light in the room was a little dim, but it was still broad daylight outside, so it definitely didn't affect the vision in the room.
That hidden weapon was flapping on the ground, wasn't it just like a fish out of water?
There were still water stains on his body, making the ground wet.
The couple's pupils trembled.
Only the little sweet baby was the calmest. He opened his little mouth and yawned, and his fair little face turned red because of yawning.
She just remembered that there were fish in the stream in the space. She had seen them last time when she patrolled the territory.
Bad daddy, if he kisses her secretly again, she will hit him on the chin with a fish.
Do you think she is easy to bully because she is young?
