Chapter 3 A meat bun, a mouthful of millet porridge.



The man shuddered under Su Ruobai's flickering gaze.

He rubbed his arms.

I looked up at the window again and saw the sun rising higher and higher.

He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his head; he hadn't stopped sweating since he left.

Only after confirming that the weather was still very hot did he slowly begin to speak.

“My dad heard about what happened yesterday and wanted to come see you, but no one in the family could get away, so he sent me instead.”

"So, you've gone too far, Su Ruobai. You still have my dad, and your comrades-in-arms."

The man scratched his head, unsure of what to say next.

They are her own grandmother, her eldest uncle, her third uncle, and so on...

They... well, we don't even know how to help them.

Thinking about this, I scratched my head again.

Fortunately, the child is good-looking, and even with a buzz cut, he can still be commanded.

Scratching your head isn't unsightly.

After listening, Su Ruobai didn't say anything, but just watched him scratch his head.

"Go find someone for me?" After thinking for a while, Su Ruobai said to the child who was scratching his head.

She was afraid that if she didn't make a sound, the child would scratch his scalp raw.

"Looking for someone? Who? Who can help you at a time like this besides my dad!" The man stopped scratching his head.

A look of utter confusion!

"Brother Lu Fei from Nanjing." Su Ruobai covered her throat.

He uttered a few words softly.

But it startled the man, making him jump.

"Who? Brother Fei, do you want me dead? Find that local thug, Su Ruobai. We've known each other for so many years, let's not even talk about childhood sweethearts."

"We've practically grown up together, how could you do this to me?" After the man finished jumping around, he unleashed a torrent of abuse on Su Ruobai.

"You know perfectly well that I have a grudge against this guy, yet you still tell me to go find him. If I fall into his hands, do you think I'll come out unscathed?"

The man's brows furrowed deeply, his face showing obvious reluctance.

He walked around inside the house.

"I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not going..." Finally, she stood in front of Su Ruobai's bed.

A face swayed back and forth, causing the flesh on its face to tremble.

The voice was off-key.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Su Ruobai did not force him.

"Okay, go outside and call a child for me. I'll ask him to go with me." Su Ruobai thought for a moment and decided not to let him go.

What if Grandma Su really finds out?

Uncle Zhao didn't get anything good either.

"Lend me five yuan, I'll pay you back tomorrow!" Su Ruobai didn't have a single penny on her.

Yesterday, it was taken away by Grandma Su, my eldest aunt, and my third aunt.

The three men then pinned Su Ruobai to the ground and searched her entire body.

They even arranged a marriage for her and accepted the betrothal gifts.

The bride price was given to my third uncle's family.

After going to the countryside, she got married a few days later.

After she got married, the house was given to her uncle's family.

They really left Su Ruobai no way out.

...

It was because of this that Su Ruobai took her own life.

...

"Are you busy? Why don't I go instead? I don't trust anyone else." The man looked at Su Ruobai with a serious expression.

I asked a question tentatively.

"Lend me the money first, then go out and find a child to go with you. Tell him there's a business opportunity on Jianshe Road and ask him if he's interested."

Don't ask about anything else, it's nothing serious, but it's not good for you to have it stuck on.

Su Ruobai looked at this kind-hearted child.

I've decided not to drag their whole family into this mess.

"Seriously, fine, you're not going to do anything big anyway." The man raised an eyebrow at the girl who had always seemed so gentle and weak.

It should be fine.

He then pulled a wad of cash from his pants pocket.

The outermost one is a ten-yuan note.

Overall black.

The exposed side shows a group of people standing together, with the words "Shi Yuan" next to them.

The man picked out a five-yuan note from the pile.

The overall color is reddish-brown, and the image shows a man wearing goggles and holding an iron rod.

"Give me some change." Su Ruobai did not take the full bill the man offered.

He replied casually.

"You're really something else, you weren't like this before..." The man stopped there.

Hesitantly, she raised her head and met Su Ruobai's expressionless face.

Then he lowered his head and quickly counted the money.

"Here you go, here you go!" He gave Su Ruobai all the bills with a face value of less than five yuan.

I also gave her a few grain coupons.

"I'm leaving now, my dad's waiting. I'll call a kid for you later." He put the money on the cabinet next to Su Ruobai's bed.

The man touched his hair.

I saw the meal I had bought again.

"Hurry up and eat. I made you some millet porridge and some meat buns. You can leave this lunchbox here for now, I'll wash it when I get back."

After saying this while touching his head, he turned and ran away.

Damn it, he was completely out of his mind just now. This girl just committed suicide, and he was already talking about how she used to be...

As a result, he fell to the ground with a "thud" as soon as he stepped out the door.

The man grimaced as he got up, looked around, and couldn't figure out how he had fallen.

He felt a sharp pain in the back of his knee...

Looking back, there was nothing there, only Su Ruobai...

Keep scratching your head...

...

Remembering what he had just said, Zhao Guofeng, who had walked outside, slapped himself hard across the face.

"You're so bad at talking! She just committed suicide, and you're still talking about how she used to be. If she were still the same as before, and Uncle Su were still alive, would Su Ruobai have committed suicide!"

"You have such a foul mouth!"

After saying that, he slapped himself on the face.

With a "snap".

The crisp sound startled the briskly walking nurse standing nearby.
