Chapter 130: How much suffering did the fat girl go through to become so thin?
"Not really." Huo Jianguo denied it without even thinking about it.
After he finished speaking, he himself was a little surprised.
If we talk about a pledge of love, this is where he and Su Mei developed a bond and a marriage. This should be their river of love, right?
But Huo Jianguo vaguely felt that this was not the case.
Because when he rescued Su Mei from here, he had no feelings for her.
Su Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard what Huo Jianguo said, then she understood and said: "Yes, how can we predict the love? You don't like me.
We don't have any feelings for each other, so how can there be any love relationship? "
"I didn't mean that!" Huo Jianguo said anxiously, but he didn't know what he was anxious about.
Hearing Huo Jianguo's anxious voice, Su Mei smiled faintly. She stared at Huo Jianguo cunningly with her bright black eyes and asked him:
"What do you mean?"
In fact, Su Mei wanted to bring up this matter on purpose. Even though she had already noticed that Huo Jianguo was somewhat attracted to her, some words had to be said in order for them to count.
Su Mei felt that it was almost impossible to expect Huo Jianguo to say the word "like" himself, so she could only force Huo Jianguo indirectly.
Unfortunately, Huo Jianguo still disappointed Su Mei. He picked up the things and suddenly quickened his pace in panic, saying:
"If you think this is a river of love, then it is!"
Seeing Huo Jianguo's hurried back, Su Mei let out a sigh of disappointment. When will he ever tell her that he likes her?
The two villages are adjacent to each other, and the Huo family is not far from Su Mei's parents' home, so the two soon arrived at Su Mei's home.
Su Mei's family background is terrible.
It’s at least ten times worse than the Huo family.
The roof of the house was patched up, the walls were covered with cracked and flaking mud, and poverty was visible everywhere.
He was exactly as poor as in Su Mei's memory.
But this place is different from the Huo family. Although the yard is dilapidated, it is kept clean and tidy inside. There are neatly planted cabbages in front of the yard, and piles of firewood are neatly stacked in the corner of the yard.
Such a clean and tidy house, Su Mei couldn't understand, how could such a clean house make the original owner become like that?
There were many winnowing baskets and straw mats in the yard, on which were placed wind-dried herbs, all of which were picked by Su Mei's grandfather from the mountains.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Su family to be so poor since they have such a famous doctor like Su Xuanju.
But in fact, it was precisely because of the Su hanging pot that the Su family could not become rich, because they did not dare to be rich.
In his early years, Su Xuanju opened a clinic in the town and earned some money. However, this money almost brought him death, and he was demoted to the ranks of landlords.
I almost went to jail.
At that time, hundreds of villagers from dozens of nearby villages voluntarily petitioned for Su Xuanhu, interceded, and cried out for justice, which helped Su Xuanhu escape the disaster.
He used his kindness and medical skills to save himself from disaster.
Although he avoided the disaster, Su Xuanju lost all his wealth.
After losing his family business, Su Xuanhu brought his family back to the village where his ancestors had lived, intending to make a living by farming.
But Su Xuanju was famous, and even if he made up his mind to give up medicine and farm, there would still be villagers from the nearby area coming to Su Xuanju for medical treatment.
Su Xuanhu wanted to treat patients, but he was afraid of going to jail again.
He was afraid of wading in muddy water, but he couldn't bear to see the patients suffer.
In order to continue practicing medicine, Su Xuanhu resumed his clinic and reopened it in the countryside.
Because he was worried about being accused of making money by practicing medicine, Su Xuanhu only charged a small amount for the medicine and almost never took any extra money from his medical treatments over the years.
Although he ran a clinic and worked as a traveling doctor, he earned less than he spent.
Thus, Su Xuanhu became a local legend, and people from all over the country said that Su Xuanhu was the real hanging pot that saved the world.
Ke Su's invention of hanging pots brought convenience to people in the surrounding area, but it caused hardship to his own family.
Compared with the surrounding farmers, this family is many times poorer.
Perhaps because Su Xuanhu knew that his actions would drag down the younger generations, the Su family was different from other large families. Other families all said that the family would not be divided as long as the parents were alive.
However, Su Mei's brothers all moved out to live on their own as soon as they got married. Su Xuanhu didn't want his grandchildren to follow him, so he had to live under the name of being poor.
Today, Su Mei only has one brother, the fifth brother, who has not yet married and still lives with Su Mei's parents and grandfather.
The couple carried their things into the Su family's simple courtyard. The courtyard was quiet. A golden dog saw Su Mei and suddenly ran up and rubbed Su Mei's calf with its head.
"Dahuang!" Su Mei called out naturally.
She lowered her head and touched the yellow dog's head, and the dog became happy and barked happily.
At this time, a warm and kind voice came from the room:
"Da Huang, what are you barking about again?"
Su Mei: “………”
This term is a bit advanced.
"Grandpa!" Su Mei cleared her throat and shouted to the people in the room.
Su Mei thought that when Su Xuanhu heard her voice, he would definitely rush out in excitement. After all, in her impression, the original owner's grandfather loved her deeply. However, after she finished shouting, there was no sound in the room for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Mei heard Su Xuanju sighing with a wry smile:
"Ah, I'm old and useless. I hear the fat girl's voice every day, and I don't know if she is doing well. Alas!"
Originally, Su Mei didn't have much affection for the original owner's grandfather. She came to visit the original owner's family only because she occupied the original owner's body and wanted to fulfill her filial duty on behalf of the original owner.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she heard Su Xuanhu's sigh, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore. She didn't know whether it was a reaction of her body or Su Mei's sentimentality. Anyway, she ran into the house sniffling and said to Su Xuanhu in a crying voice:
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
Inside the room, a man was holding a teapot filled with coarse tea.
He raised his head and glanced at Su Mei, and the next moment the teapot in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp collision sound.
Then Su Xuanhu stared at Su Mei for half a minute before he reached out and rubbed his dim eyes, muttering in disbelief:
"How much hardship did you go through, fat girl? How come you are so thin?"
