Chapter 10 They are a pair of gay men!
"Are you blind? Can't you see anyone?" The woman spoke as fluently as her hands moved.
"If you heard it, just tell me there was someone there, and I would have come in." Su Jinghe stood up and pretended to close the broken door that he had just opened quite naturally.
"There's no one here, and there will be no one here soon. Just stand there and don't move. Wait for me for a stick of incense, and then you will become a ghost." After the woman said this, she leaned her head on the rope and was about to kick the stool with her foot, but the next moment Su Jinghe's words made her not want to kick it anymore.
"I want to give Butcher Gao 50 taels to ask him to help me..." Su Jinghe didn't even finish his words. The woman who was just under the tree seemed to teleport in front of Su Jinghe.
"Why are you playing with that scoundrel? If you have any money, give it to me. If you have any task, I'll do it. I even dare to kill people. I'll take care of it all for you." The woman looked at Su Jinghe with a sincere expression.
Su Jinghe was stunned by the "murder". The woman thought it was a show of sincerity. Brick walked into the house and came out with a knife. "Whoever you want to kill, I'll kill first, and you can pay later."
"Killing chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs is a long-term job. 50 taels is for one year, and there will be the same amount next year." Su Jinghe remained calm in front of the knife. "No rush, Du Sanniang, right? Let's sit down and talk first."
"Do you know me?" Du Sanniang's gaze towards Su Jinghe suddenly changed again, "You came here to see me."
Su Jinghe was surprised by her sharpness and nodded. "I was looking for you. I heard your family's story. Your husband, Butcher Gao, usually gave all his money to his younger brother. You were the one making money and spending it all. Now your child is sick and you have no money. You asked him for money, and he disappeared."
"You know a lot." Du Sanniang didn't have the idea that family disgrace should not be made public. To be honest, if she couldn't take care of the children alone and go out to publicize the matter of this damn bastard, she would have wanted to spread the news to everyone.
"Now you have sent the child to the clinic. The doctor told you that it would cost fifty taels. You used the excuse of going home to raise money, but actually committed suicide. You wanted to bet that the clinic would be kind enough to save your child and then send him to an orphanage, right?" Su Jinghe not only knew about her and her husband, but also knew the reason why she committed suicide this time.
Du Sanniang's expression changed. "No wonder you asked for fifty taels. You, you're not from the clinic, are you? I really have no money left. Please save my child. I'm willing to die for it!"
A mother's love can make a person completely lose himself. The woman who remained calm when she was about to die, now thought of her child who was still waiting for life in the clinic, and tears fell from her eyes almost instantly. Her words were no longer as cold and decisive as before, and there was only deep despair and helplessness.
"I can help you." Su Jinghe looked at her with encouragement in his eyes. "To be more precise, you can help yourself. I want to open a mobile food stall. I need someone who is willing to go out early and come back late every day. He should cook delicious food, be warm and friendly to others, and have a good memory..."
Before Su Jinghe could finish, Du Sanniang quickly promised, "I'm willing. I'm willing to work no matter how long it takes. 50 taels is my advance salary. Just leave enough for us mother and daughter to live on every month. I can work until I die!"
"That's great. I know you have the ability." Su Jinghe cooperated first, "Here, fifty taels of silver, use it to save your child's life."
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and not do the work?" Du Sanniang said this, but she had subconsciously wiped the dust in front of Su Jinghe, as if she was treating her savior.
Su Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid of that, but I have a condition for letting you open a shop. Your family's story is very interesting and should attract a lot of people. I'll find you a writer. Remember the story and tell it to people who come and go when there are many or few people around."
After hearing this, Du Sanniang looked at Su Jinghe's face and pondered for a moment, "Could it be that you have a grudge against Gao the Butcher?"
Su Jinghe hadn't replied yet, and Du Sanniang didn't want to get an answer from him. "It's none of my business if there's a grudge, but your request is too simple. I can talk even if you don't pay me."
"But I don't think anyone wants to hear it. It's just a story about a stupid woman being deceived by a man."
"Every family has its own problems, but yours is more exciting than you think." Su Jinghe stood up and walked out with his people. The clinic was still waiting for the life-saving money, so it was not good for the two of them to chat here for too long.
"After Butcher Gao left, did you go look for his younger brother?"
"Leave too, you two bastards." Du Sanniang cursed angrily.
"In the past, their family only consisted of their biological father and this younger brother. Butcher Gao gave all his money to his younger brother, and then their father died some time ago. Since then, Butcher Gao rarely came home, right?" Su Jinghe almost couldn't keep up with Du Sanniang's speed, and tried to slow down the woman by asking her questions.
"Actually, there's no need to rush. The clinic is already trying to save him. But if we go there sooner, they should be able to use better medicine."
"Right, right, right. Butcher Gao is such a bastard. After his father died, he threw himself into his brother's side. Now that he's grown up, he still needs his brother to comfort him?"
Du Sanniang's heart was not on this story at all, Su Jinghe said, and she didn't feel any grief or other emotions, her mind was full of her children. After Su Jinghe said that she would get better if she went early and took medicine, she walked faster.
"Because their relationship isn't a normal one. They have three men in their family, and they were already involved before they married you. Threesomes are common. They're not crying for their own father, but for the fact that this father is also their lover."
Su Jinghe spoke wittily and quickly, like a machine gun, and finished the sentence. He felt refreshed and his steps became lighter. He lowered his head and rushed towards the clinic.
"Ah?" Now it was Du Sanniang's turn to be left behind by Su Jinghe. This news was really hard to digest.
Now she understood why Su Jinghe asked her to tell her family story. It was unique, so unique.
Du Sanniang didn't care at all. She quickly caught up with Su Jinghe who was jogging.
"If I change my mind..." This kind of thing is still too embarrassing. Su Jinghe didn't think that Du Sanniang must make it public. After all, although the true story is more emotional, it is not impossible to tell it falsely.
"Who wants to go back on their word? Tell me. Find a few more people to tell me. It's a small stall, so I'm the only one. Isn't that too little? I have people from my family. Call them over to tell me together!"
Du Sanniang said this with gritted teeth, and felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking.
"I don't mean you have to hire my family. Well, they're good at work and aren't afraid of hard work or fatigue. They have children to take care of at home..."
"No problem, let's go to the clinic and discuss the salary then. They won't have this fifty taels, and their salary will be paid monthly."
Su Jinghe even wanted to spend fifty taels to buy the copyright of this story.
Of course, why not go find the two real protagonists to buy the copyright, because the two "flew away". According to the system's hot search records, because both of them were not good at swimming, and they were reluctant to spend money to hire people, a small accident happened.
They bought a broken boat to go south of the Yangtze River, and then the boat was overturned by a finless porpoise in the middle of the night. Two people fell into the water and died.
But there was really no way to tell Du Sanniang about this death.
Su Jinghe didn't want to be treated as a murderer. After all, knowing the news when no one else knew about it made him look too much like the murderer himself!
But it was really a fish that hit the boat, not him sending anyone to hit the boat, and he couldn't afford to send anyone. The fifty taels were from the private money given by his uncle.
——
"Thank you." Du Sanniang hurried to the clinic and happened to catch the doctors discussing what medicine to use for the child. She shouted "I have money" and rushed over to save her child.
Now the child had taken the medicine and fell asleep. Du Sanniang knelt down beside the child's bed to Su Jinghe. She moved so quickly that Su Jinghe didn't have time to pull her away.
"It's not a big deal. You probably still need to learn the dishes I want you to cook. Besides, setting up a stall is tiring, and it's troublesome to travel between two places..." Su Jinghe pulled the man up and kept muttering to himself. In fact, he was so embarrassed that the back of his neck turned red. He tried to pull the man up three times but failed, so he had to persuade him in a low voice.
"Just stand up. Others keep looking here. Woo woo..."
He was so scared that he started crying.
"It's okay. This is my lifesaver who lent me money. If it weren't for him, my child would have no money to treat the illness." Du Sanniang's personality was much more outgoing. She stood up and explained to those around her. Only then did other people's gazes turn from gleefully watching the show to praising her.
Su Jinghe also found it difficult to accept the sharp gazes. The last time he was stared at by so many people was during his self-introduction at the beginning of the school year. It was too challenging.
"Well, kid, stay here first. Let's go talk about wages. Also, if you have relatives, you have to find reliable ones. If they are not reliable, I will get back double the money they lost from me."
Su Jinghe's expression was serious, as he was afraid that Du Sanniang would be soft-hearted and drag everyone to work together. He emphasized again that "this is really tiring and some people may not be able to handle it."
"You can wait and see when the time comes. If you want to stay, just leave the person here, Lord Su." Du Sanniang found out that Su Jinghe was an official only after he revealed his identity and said that she could come to him if she didn't have enough money in the future.
And Su Jinghe...
"Don't call me Sir, just call me Xiao Su. If that doesn't work, call me Master."
He also discovered something belatedly.
After he revealed his identity, everyone called him "official".
This confused him at first, and then a hot search for him appeared on the system.
In the Song Dynasty, the emperor was called "Guan Jia" and officials were called "Guan Ren". Colleagues addressed each other by their official titles. "Sir" was generally called "Dad". "Parents" was also acceptable to express closeness.
[A certain person has been calling others "Dad" intentionally or unintentionally, and has also been very open to being called "Dad" by others. Some people think he's a bit eccentric, but everyone is kind enough to keep quiet out of respect for the child who just lost his memory.]
How come the melon ended up on your head?
Su Jinghe's face turned red, and he looked at the doctor next to him and wanted to give him two injections.
"That's right. I'm at the old Zhangjia Kiln Factory. Do you know where it is? It's okay if you don't know. I'll be at the Privy Council tomorrow, in the East Retreat. You probably can't get in, so wait for me outside. It'll be around noon. If it's convenient, make me lunch. Vegetables and meat are fine. Here's the money."
Su Jinghe spoke so fast as if his mouth was rented. He didn't even give Du Sanniang a chance to refuse and turned and left.
After he left, the people around him were still chatting with Du Sanniang.
"Is this Mr. Su your relative? He not only lends you money, but also gives you money with this reason." The man looked at the change in Du Sanniang's hand with envy on his face.
"He is a good man who came to my door suddenly." Du Sanniang knew that he had a lot of money, so much that even if he made eight dishes and a soup with the highest standards, he would still be very rich. The benefactor was really kind.
Thinking of this, she looked to the side and saw the strange woman looking at her with eyes that suddenly lit up, not knowing what she meant.
"I have a story to tell you. Can you please tell me if it is interesting?" Du Sanniang started to talk.
She thought that instead of asking someone else to polish it, it would be better for her to try more on her own, to learn how to speak in an attractive way, and also to practice how to explain it to others while doing it.
Besides...if we really open the stall, people here will come and go, and maybe some of them will come over to eat.
——
Su Jinghe left because he really had something to do - he wanted to go back and dispel the rumors.
He is really not the kind of person who calls anyone "dad" or "old dad" casually, especially Xiao He or He Yun. You really can't call him that.
He also just realized that since yesterday, everyone in the kiln factory who greeted him called him "Master Xiao Su".
This, this...
The more Su Jinghe thought about it, the faster his pace became. If he could break through biological limitations, he would want to step on his left foot and fly into the sky, leaving this world that made him sad.
But this man's luck is really mysterious. When he was most helpless, he ran into someone who was equally helpless.
“Who is it?”
"Bang!"
The first sound was the person he stepped on and the other person screaming.
The last sound was him tripping and falling on a soft bag. When he stood up, the bag seemed to be stuck to him and was slung over his body.
"Really? They're pushing people into a desperate situation..." The squatting man held onto the wall and took out a copy of "The Book of Songs" from the other side of his body. He muttered something and was about to tear the paper.
"Hey? What are you doing? Are you going to wipe your butt with paper with words on it?" Su Jinghe widened his eyes. He looked at the man and noticed that there was indeed an unidentified object on the ground!
This person has no sense of public morality. He even defecated in public... in the wilderness!
"No wonder it stinks."
“It doesn’t stink anymore!”
Unexpectedly, that person was even more sad and angry than Su Jinghe.
"If we were not desperate, how could scholars like us use the books of sages..."
"Even if you're desperate, you can't do that. It's against the law."
The Song Dynasty had laws that explicitly prohibited the use of paper with words on it as toilet paper. This was even more unacceptable since it was written in the books of sages.
"I've been squatting here for half an hour! My legs are numb, and I've lost all sense of smell. There's no one here!"
The sound was like crying, and it sounded very pitiful.
"Am I not a human being?"
Su Jinghe took a step back like a savior and began to search his body to see if he had any paper, and he actually did.
After the young man solved his problem, he was about to express his gratitude.
"Don't thank me yet. Take care of this first. If someone steps on it, then..." Su Jinghe didn't even have the courage to say it out loud, "You are so rude. You are so anxious that you don't even go to the public toilet."
"If it's really that far from home, I'll take care of it right away."
After a while of busying around, the two met again by the stream.
Wash your hands, be sure to wash your hands.
If it weren't for the occasion, Su Jinghe would even want to wash his feet and clothes, in short, wash everything!
"It's really exquisite." The man complained.
"You still think you're so self-righteous! Tell me your name, I won't fight an unknown person!" Su Jinghe was so angry that he wanted to issue a challenge.
"My name is Wang Anshi. Today's incident happened suddenly. It's not uncommon for people to have urgent matters..."
He also looked quite shy, his face flushed, and he tried hard to say that he was not the kind of person who would do such things all the time.
Wang Anshi thought he would be scolded again, after all, the other party was also unprovoked and met him in the wilderness.
Who would have thought that the person who was originally aggressive would change his attitude 180 degrees.
"Wang... Wang Anshi? That's understandable..."
The look in Su Jinghe's eyes when he looked at Wang Anshi was as if he had stumbled upon gold on the roadside.
Found a treasure!
Is this just bad luck?
