Chapter 58: Your Scumbag Dad Bullies You Again
Su Nuan said seriously, "It has to happen, otherwise we will all die."
Cuiyi bit her lip, and finally nodded with a firm look in her eyes, "Okay, I'll go and coax Xiaoyun to stop talking nonsense."
Su Nuan took out a bag of candy and said, "Here, use this to comfort her."
Cuiyi shook her head, "Xiaoyun doesn't like sweets. I saw him give all the candy to Tuantuan."
Su Nuan was stunned. What did he like? He almost vomited from eating jerky, and there was nothing else delicious.
What does a fool need? Now there is no delicious food to coax the child, how can I stop Ling Yun from talking nonsense.
Cui Yi saw Su Nuan's embarrassment and said with a smile, "It's okay, I have a solution."
Su Nuan asked curiously, "What method? Teach me."
Cuiyi also likes to be close to Su Nuan and said with a smile: "Xiaoyun likes to eat fish."
Su Nuan was stunned and recalled that he seemed to have eaten a lot of fish during the past few times he cooked fish.
As long as the hoe is strong, there is no corner that cannot be dug; as long as there is a soft spot, there is no person that cannot be controlled.
Su Nuan grinned, "Fish, that's easy."
Cuiyi looked at Su Nuan and thought her smile was a bit evil and mischievous, but quite cute.
She smiled but said nothing. Actually, driving the cart was not tiring. The old horse had become stronger and smarter after living in the cave for a period of time. It pulled the cart very steadily.
Su Nuan was thinking in her mind that there were many big fish in the space, and they were multiplying endlessly. It would be nice to get some of them and make dried fish.
Arriving at the next resting place, Su Nuan looked around.
There is only a small puddle here, so it is impossible to use this puddle as an excuse to take out the fish.
She found an opportunity to enter the space and caught a few big fish to make dried fish, but the dried fish needed time to dry, so she left the space first.
There is a small bamboo forest next to the puddle, and the bamboo pillars are leaning here and there, looking half-dead.
It is difficult for bamboo from the south to grow thick in the north, so it is already very good if it can sprout.
Su Nuan cut off some pieces that were as thick as fingers, and heard people laughing when she took them back.
"Is she crazy? What's the point of chopping some broken bamboo? It won't even work for burning."
"Maybe they're taking it back to eat. They say there are animals that specialize in eating bamboo."
"It's their fault for not buying food in the village. Now they have nothing to eat. They deserve it."
"That's right, why don't they starve to death..."
Su Nuan was not angry at all when she heard these words, but instead felt like a melon.
She went back and placed the bamboo on the ground and began to clean it with her dagger.
Mrs. Xue came over and saw the bamboo that Su Nuan was processing. She said, "Give it to me. These bamboos are too soft now and need to be processed."
Su Nuan was startled, then thought that Cui Yi might have told Xue about her plan. She smiled and said, "Okay, then leave it to mother. I wonder how my uncle is doing with the bone polishing."
Xue replied, "Almost done. I changed it according to your request."
Seeing her frown, Su Nuan comforted her, "Mom, it shouldn't be that bad."
Xue nodded without saying anything. These bandits were unreasonable. Who knew what would happen?
At night, Su Nuan found Xue roasting bamboo over charcoal fire, so she went over to help.
Xue murmured, "These bamboos have dense joints and are quite hard after being polished, but not as hard as hardwood."
Su Nuan suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I forgot to ask for feathers, what should I do now?"
Xue smiled and said, "Let's see if we can shoot a pheasant tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we can use a net. It won't be as accurate, but it can still scare people."
Su Nuan nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll tell Brother Cheng tomorrow and I'll go walk in the nearby woods. Maybe I can run into a pheasant."
Xue's hand paused, then quickly smiled and said, "Well, chicken soup is not bad either."
Su Nuan swallowed and thought, no, if she couldn’t hunt pheasants tomorrow, she would take out the stock in the space. Chicken soup, she must drink hot chicken soup.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked for most of the night and finally finished processing all the bamboo.
Su Nuan greeted Cheng Feng early in the morning and ran alone into the woods by the roadside.
The forest was not very dense, so Su Nuan's figure could be seen as she moved through the forest, and no one was worried that she would run away.
There are no pheasants in such a sparse forest, but there are quite a few birds.
While no one was paying attention to her, Su Nuan took out the pheasant that she had exchanged with the wolf last time from the space.
She walked back with a swagger, ignoring the strange looks.
Unexpectedly, Su Liren, who had not made a fuss for a long time, brought Su Zhen to stop Su Nuan, and both of them stared at the pheasant.
Su Nuan even saw Su Liren swallowing his saliva. How long had it been since this guy had eaten meat? Didn't he get some of the broth from the wild boar he ate last time?
Su Zhen said softly, "Sister, Daddy is sick, and your pheasant is just the right thing to nourish him."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Your face is as thick as a city wall. I've told you so many times that my marriage has nothing to do with you, not to mention that we're no longer related."
Su Zhen's ears seemed to be deaf, and she couldn't hear anything. She even reached out to grab the pheasant that Su Nuan was holding.
Su Nuan dodged, but Su Liren was even more shameless and hugged Su Nuan from behind.
"Jen'er, hurry up and grab it."
Su Zhen's eyes lit up and she rushed forward to grab it.
How could Su Nuan possibly indulge them? Her head slammed back hard, and the height difference only hit Su Liren's chin.
Su Liren screamed and let go.
Su Nuan swung the pheasant and hit Su Zhen in the face. The sharp claws left two bloody marks on her delicate face.
“Ah… my face…”
Su Nuan clicked her tongue twice, "So you know you have a face. Take care of your wound, or you'll become an ugly monster."
Su Zhen panicked, and the eyes she stared at Su Nuan were as if filled with poison.
Su Nuan was shocked by her eyes. That was right. This was a familiar look to her. It turned out that Su Zhen was pretending, and now her true face was exposed.
"Oh my, so fierce, so fierce! A woman like you is like a demon in human skin!"
Su Zhen covered her face and stared at Su Nuan, "Don't be complacent, you are just a cannon fodder, my stepping stone."
After saying that, Su Zhen turned and left, not caring about Su Liren at all.
When Su Nuan heard Su Zhen's words, her heart suddenly sank, as if something was restraining her.
She didn't understand what was happening to her and was covered in cold sweat.
She hurried back to the carriage, put down the pheasant and got in.
Xue found that Su Nuan was not right and hugged her tightly, "Are you hurt?"
Su Nuan shook her head and felt at ease only when she felt the warmth of Xue's embrace.
"Mom, Su Zhen looks at me in a scary way."
Upon hearing this, Xue angrily said, "Did she team up with your scumbag father to bully you again? I'm going to seek justice for you."
Su Nuan quickly hugged Xue tightly, "Mom... don't move, let me hold you."
It was the first time that Xue saw Su Nuan so fragile, and she patted Su Nuan's back with heartache.
Ling Yun, who was outside the car, lifted the curtain and looked inside. His eyes fell on the awake Ling Cang again, and the two brothers began to communicate silently.
