"Girl, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Su Cheng asked.
Su Xiaoxiao picked a piece of fatty ribs: "Tomahawk pork belly!"
Su Cheng sucked his saliva.
He doesn’t know whether to chop or not, but he knows about pork belly. The meat cooked by his daughter is the most delicious!
Su Cheng opened the lid of the water tank: "Eh? The water is almost gone, Ergou! Where have you been, little brat? Girl, I'm going to get some water!"
"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao responded, took the washed ribs into the kitchen, placed them on the chopping board, and started chopping them.
Su Yu Niang looked at Su Cheng who was carrying a bucket of water out of the house, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was chopping bones.
I mean, isn't your reaction a little wrong?
So many things just happened, are you just thinking about eating?
Su Yu Niang finally understood that this family was so tall that even if the sky fell, they could rely on the tall people to hold it up. They just squatted down with their bowls in hand and continued to eat.
Su Yu Niang went into the kitchen to help Su Xiaoxiao. She was not as dexterous as Xiao Wu, so the most she could do was help peel corn cobs or add some firewood.
She found a small stool and sat down facing the stove: "Daya."
"What?" Su Xiaoxiao continued to chop ribs.
"What happened just now." Su Yu Niang said, "Don't you think that Mr. Su's reaction is strange? The way he looked at you and Uncle Su was not right."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."
Su Yu Niang punched the cotton.
Fortunately, Su Yu Niang was already used to it. She had to learn to connect with the emotions when talking to this girl: "He also asked about Uncle Su's birthday. You said we are not related, why ask about someone's birthday?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Yeah."
Su Yu Niang: You may not believe it, but I feel a little itchy right now.
"mother."
Xiaohu slid into the kitchen, "I'm hungry."
You are greedy, right? Su Xiaoxiao put down the kitchen knife and handed him a chopped green onion pancake without sugar: "Where's Dahu?"
Su Yuan just sent Erhu back, and now Xiaohu is also back, leaving only Dahu.
Xiaohu shook his head: "No."
The three of them went out to walk the pony together. While they were walking, Erhu went to act like a charlatan. While they were walking again, Xiaohu ran back home to find something to eat.
In the end, Da Hu took it all on his own.
Dahu walked the foal carefully, following the route and showing the foal the scenery, not even leaving out a blade of grass. He can be said to be a very meticulous baby.
Mei Zi sent Da Hu back to Xiao Su's house.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Mei Zi to take a bowl of braised pork back.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. The news of the big fight between the old Su family and the young Su family quickly spread in the village. What was different from the past was that this time it was not spread by Zhou.
It’s from the Li family.
The village chief was hit hard.
He never expected that the Su family had lied for thirty years, stolen a child's things, deceived the villagers for so many years, and enjoyed the rewards from the villagers with peace of mind.
In contrast, Su Cheng, whose jade pendant was stolen, lived a life of hunger and cold, and was looked down upon by his fellow villagers.
The head of the village felt so upset that he went back and had a couple of drinks with Old Li.
When Old Li heard this, he couldn't believe it: "The jade pendant... is it Su Cheng's?"
The village chief nodded drunkenly.
The last bit of rationality made him hold the "Imperial Gift" in his throat.
Qian heard this and she had long disliked the Su family.
Well, we have to thank Su Yu Niang, who single-handedly increased the Qian family's hatred towards the Su family.
Aunt Liu was stunned: "No way..."
Qian said, "Why not? The head of the village said so! I heard it with my own ears! A nobleman from the capital came and forced Su Can's father to admit it! Their old Su family doesn't have any ancestral jade pendant at all! They stole Su Cheng's!"
Aunt Wu asked, "Aunt Qian, could you be mistaken?"
"I am not old and blind yet! How could I be mistaken?"
"Everyone knows that you hate the Su family because Yu Niang stole your midwife. But you can't go around slandering the Su family just because of this, right?"
"Yes, how much money did Daya give you? Why are you speaking for her family like this?"
Most villagers are unwilling to doubt the Su family. It is not only because of the prestige that the Su family has built up over the past 30 years, but also because of human nature. After all, no one is willing to deny themselves easily.
Aunt Qian laughed and said, "The nobleman's carriage has entered the village. Are you really blind or are you pretending to be blind? If you don't believe me, you can go and confront the old Su family! Let's see if they have the nerve to say that the jade pendant they sold that year was their ancestral heirloom!"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Are you going?"
"Isn't this too bad?"
"Yes, no matter who we suspect, we must not suspect the old Su family... If it weren't for them... our entire village would have starved to death... They gave us the jade pendant to help us... Are we still human if we suspect them like this?"
Aunt Liu patted her butt and said, "If you don't go, I'll go!"
"I'll go take a look too," said Aunt Qian.
With two people taking the lead, it won’t be difficult to add a third one.
What's more, what everyone was thinking was that they were not going to question the Su family, but to listen to the Su family's refutation of the rumor.
But when the villagers came to Lao Su's house in twos and threes, the door was already closed.
It’s not completely dark yet!
They went to the back door again, and it was also closed!
Aunt Liu rolled up her sleeves and knocked on the door: "Uncle Su, are you home? Dalang? Erlang? Sanlang? Jinniang!"
She called everyone one by one, but no one responded from behind the door.
If you say that there is no one in the Su family, the villagers will not believe it. The village is so small, and there are seven or eight people in the Su family. Is it possible that no one will see them if they really leave the village?
This attitude of shutting oneself in and refusing visitors... seems a bit like he is feeling guilty...
Qian sneered: "Oh, what did I say?"
The doors and windows of Old Su's house were closed, and the room was dark.
The whole family sat in the main room, not daring to breathe.
They heard the villagers knocking on the door, but they didn't dare to open it!
What to say after the opening? The young Su family slandered them, saying that it was not them who stole Su Cheng's jade pendant, but Su Cheng who stole their old Su family's jade pendant——
If it were an hour ago, they might have been able to say it.
But now, the princes from the capital have come to testify for the young Su family. Are the old Su family going to die? Besides, it was a gift from the emperor.
They wished their home had never been sold!
You still dare to continue to lie that it is your heirloom? How many heads are enough for you to chop off?!
The Su family's attitude made the villagers feel uneasy.
The villagers ran to the village head's house to ask him for confirmation.
The village head was completely drunk. He had originally thought that since we were fellow villagers, he shouldn't make things too embarrassing. However, as the alcohol took effect, he completely forgot what he had said.
That night, Xinghua Village was in an uproar.
Never mind, I deleted it.
