Chapter 12: Earn Money and Eat Meat Buns
Su Jianwen's mouth twitched. "Third sister, is this the place you said you could make money? How can you make money in this remote place?"
Zhou Jianwu also pursed his lips: "Third sister, you are not teasing us, are you?"
Su Xiaoxiao hit one of them on the head without any hesitation.
"I'm just teasing you two. I'm bored."
"But there's nothing here, how can we make money?"
The corners of the two little brothers' mouths, which had just been raised, deflated again.
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the wormwood that covered the mountains and fields and said, "This is the way to make money I told you about. I met an old Chinese doctor who bought a lot of wormwood. Once we sell it, won't we be rich?"
Su Jianwu didn't quite believe it: "This thing is everywhere, is there really anyone who wants to buy it?"
"Don't look at this thing. It's everywhere in our countryside. It's a rare thing in the city."
"real?"
Hope rekindled in the eyes of the two little brothers.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, once we sell all these, we can not only afford to buy candy, but also a lot of meat."
When they heard that there was meat and candy, they instantly became excited.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry."
The two of them immediately grabbed a sack and went to pick the mugwort excitedly, their eyes shining like those of a rhubarb who saw shit.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire the hard-working spirit of people of this generation.
It took the two half-grown children less than half a day to fill two large sacks with mugwort.
And she... forget it, let’s not talk about it.
She will probably be a beautiful waste for the rest of her life.
This cannot be blamed on her. Few young people nowadays can do farm work, so naturally they are not as dexterous as the two little brothers.
The two men filled their own sacks neatly, and then helped Su Xiaoxiao fill her sack before reluctantly leaving.
One of them, carrying a large sack almost as tall as himself, excitedly ran up to Su Xiaoxiao to ask for credit: "Third sister, it's all ready. Shall we go sell it now?"
When the two little brothers thought about getting money, their faces turned red with excitement, and they couldn't wait to exchange the mugwort for money right away.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless: "They want dried mugwort. We have to dry the mugwort when we get back, and then pick the leaves before we can sell them."
The two younger brothers' faces instantly fell when they heard this.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little sorry when she saw the two of them looking so lost.
He quickly bought two meat buns from the mall, took them out from behind his back in a pretentious manner, and stuffed one into each of their mouths: "Here, this is a reward for you today."
When they saw the meat buns, the two little brothers' eyes lit up immediately and they forgot about the unpleasantness just now.
Each person carried a sack and ate buns as he walked.
After eating the hot buns, they licked their lips with satisfaction.
Su Jianwu exclaimed: "The meat buns are really delicious."
Su Jianwen also licked his lips and said, "If I can eat meat buns every day in the future, it will be worth dying for."
Su Xiaoxiao's face was full of disdain: "Look at how little you two have achieved. When Third Sister makes money, we can eat meat buns every day."
"Third sister, we are young, not stupid. Even the chairman wouldn't dare to think of eating meat buns every day."
The two of them pursed their lips, obviously not believing it.
As they were talking, the three of them were almost at the door of their house. Before they got close, they saw from afar that the door was crowded with people.
"What happened to the Su family? Why did they call the police?"
"Look at that girl's belly. Could it be that the second son of the Su family did something shameful?"
"Bah, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. The old one is like this, and the two younger ones look like decent people, but I didn't expect them to be such bad people."
Su Xiaoxiao listened to the discussions of the people around her, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could something have happened at home?
She hurriedly stuffed the sack in her hand to Su Jianwen, pushed through the crowd and quickly squeezed in. As soon as she entered, she saw two upright police officers standing in the yard.
There was also a young girl with a pregnant belly standing next to her.
The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, but she was a little too thin, with a pointed chin, and her eyes looked particularly large.
She shed tears silently, and her big eyes with clear black and white looked pitifully at Su Fusheng in front of her.
What is going on?
Just as Su Xiaoxiaoxiao was puzzled, Su Fusheng spoke up: "You've seen the situation at my house. I really don't have any extra room for you to live in."
"Brother Fusheng, please let me stay. I don't have to sleep in the house, I can even sleep on the floor in the yard."
"I don't have any relatives anymore. If you don't care about me, I really don't know what to do."
Xu Zhaodi pulled Su Fusheng's sleeve with a pleading look on her face.
When the people around heard this, they looked at Su Fusheng with even more contempt.
"Sure enough, he's just like his dad. He refuses to admit his mistake even after pulling up his pants. What a shameless bastard!
"Bah, shameless! The girl's belly is so big, and you still want to deny your debt."
Su Xiaoxiao also frowned. Although her second brother had been a little eccentric since he was a child, he was a very chivalrous man and it was impossible for him to do such a heartless thing.
Is there any misunderstanding here?
Thinking of this, she pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
"Second brother, who is this female comrade?"
She asked doubtfully, and the girl immediately let go of her hand with a red face when she saw her, and tugged at the corner of her clothes a little stiffly.
Before Su Fusheng could answer, a disdainful snort came from the crowd: "Who else could it be? Your brother must have bullied the girl and didn't want to take responsibility, so they came to your door."
Xu Zhaodi's face turned pale when she heard this: "Don't talk nonsense. Brother Fusheng is not that kind of person. The child in my belly has nothing to do with him."
"It's okay, can you cry like that?"
"Girl, don't be afraid. There are so many of us here. We will make the Su family give you an explanation today."
Someone spoke indignantly.
"No, it's not what you think."
Xu Zhaodi's face turned red with anxiety.
But the people around her didn't believe her explanation at all and stared at Su Fusheng with disdain.
"Bah, he's just like his father. He looks decent, but he's actually a black-hearted, despicable bastard."
"I don't know what kind of magic potion he used to make this girl speak for him."
"Of course not. If this child is really not from the Su family, why doesn't this girl say whose child it is?"
Xu Zhaodi was so anxious that she started crying again.
The two police officers nearby couldn't stand it anymore, and the older one, Zhao, spoke first.
"Comrade Su Fusheng is an excellent comrade. He even helped us apprehend three human traffickers. Please do not slander or spread rumors about him."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd murmured, "Bah, who knows if it's true? Maybe he's an accomplice of the human trafficker."
The veins on Zhao Gongan's forehead bulged. Just as he was about to speak, a trembling but firm female voice came from behind him.
