Chapter 50: Saving Little Brother Su
After lunch in the afternoon, few rural people, except children, take a nap. They all gather in groups of three or five to find a cool place to stay. There is no such thing as going upstairs in the fishing village. They just gather together to make fishing nets. The big fishing nets are set out on wooden stakes in the street. The street is completely occupied, leaving only space for people to pass by.
These large nets are used by large ships and are only used when going to the open sea. As long as the ship comes, the fishing nets need to be repaired.
The nets made by the second and third sisters of the Su family are small fishing nets, which are used by small fishing boats to fish near the coast.
These are all the property of the brigade. If you have a share of these, it's just like farmers working in the fields. You save up the shares and count them as money.
The Su family was seen seeing the Su He family off, and those they knew were greeting them.
After the Su family had gone far away, someone said, "The old Su family really raised a good daughter!"
"Of course not! I heard that after receiving the salary, he didn't keep a single cent for himself and sent it all to me!"
"The key is that the son-in-law isn't making a fuss! I heard he's a college graduate, and he's so tall and handsome!"
"...I'm so lucky to have the blessing of a daughter!"
After the Su family turned out of the street, Su Hong, the second sister of the Su family, teased Xiaobao: "Come and let your second aunt hold you for a while longer. If you hold me this time, I don't know when I'll be able to see you again!"
Xiaobao also happily reached out to let his second aunt hold him.
While waiting for a ride on the roadside, Su Hong whispered to Su He, "Sister, the money Xiaobao has is what my third and fourth sisters and I saved. I'll use it to pay for your medical treatment. It's not much."
Su He was surprised. She didn't expect that these three sisters had some private money. After comparing them, she felt that the original owner was extremely stupid!
Su He: "Second sister, where did you get the money? Did you earn it from eating at home?"
Seeing that her mother was teasing Daxiao and Erxiao and not looking at her, Su Ermei whispered, "Sister, you're just too silly! The three of us picked up fresh produce from the seashore, found a place to salt it and dry it, and slowly accumulated some dried produce to sell at the market. We've been doing this for two or three days now, and we've saved up a little money!"
Su He: "Didn't Mom ask you to give the money to her? Did she just let you save it for yourselves?"
Su Ermei: "We did it in someone else's yard!"
"Someone else's yard? Is there an empty yard here?"
Su Ermei: "The bachelor old man at the east end of the village died a violent death some time ago. People say it was a ghost that killed him. His yard is overgrown with weeds and no one dares to go in. So the three of us sisters would often pick up things and take them there to process and dry them!"
Su He: "The price you buy from the supply and marketing department is cheap, right? Why don't you sell it somewhere else for a higher price? To make more money?"
Su Ermei was too embarrassed to say more: "Sister, please don't ask! Now that school is closed, we don't have any excuses to go out. Unlike my brother, he is away from home and mother doesn't say anything to him!"
Su He couldn't help but hug Xiao Bao and took out a roll of money from his pocket. There were both small and large amounts of money, and there were actually more than fifty yuan in it!
It was okay. These three sisters still had a conscience and didn't let Su He down too much. She remembered that Su Xiaodi had asked her to borrow money for her. While the car hadn't arrived yet, everyone was waiting impatiently on the roadside.
Su He called Su Xiaodi over and said, "Little brother, didn't you say you would help me borrow money? I'm going to Shanghai by bus tomorrow. When can you help me borrow money?"
Little brother Su scratched his head: "Sister, I just told Mom that I'll take the bus with you into the city. I'll try my luck and see if the out-of-town driver has shown up. If he does, I'll lend it to you."
Oh no!
This is a pleasant surprise. Maybe we can catch this suspicious out-of-town driver today!
But Su He turned around and thought, what would happen if Su Xiaodi was caught? In this era, the punishment for this kind of crime is very severe. Even if it is not life imprisonment, it is likely to cost him his life.
Su He felt that Su Xiaodi hadn't harmed Dr. He yet, and it would be too cruel to give him another life. She wanted to give Su Xiaodi another chance: "Little brother, come with me, I want to talk to you!"
She handed Xiaobao to Su Ermei, who then took it over to Su Sanmei.
