Chapter 14 Chapter 14
When Su Rui returned home, the first thing she did was to rush to Su Chang'e's room to catch her.
Su Chang'e closed the door and dared not open it, and kept cursing in the room.
"My ancestors, why are you quarreling again?" Su Yuqin walked in front with a basket on her shoulder, and Su Li supported the weak Su Hongpei with one hand and walked into the yard.
Su Rui quickly put aside her hatred and ran over to support Su Hongpei: "How are you? Do you feel better after the injection?"
Before Su Hongpei could even open her mouth, Su Yuqin scolded her, "You don't even know how to cook a meal when you come back. You've grown wilder as you get older. If you don't take care of the family, get out of here!"
Su Li silently took her basket, walked into the main room to put it down, and went to the back room to get firewood.
Su Rui saw Su Yuqin with her hands on her hips, ready to fight her. Just as she was about to go up to her, Su Hongpei pinched her arm and said, "Help me lie down for a while."
Su Rui swallowed her anger and helped Su Hongpei walk into the house.
Su Yuqin said angrily: "A loser is a loser. Whose 20-year-old girl is still living at home and eating her mother's coffin money? The old widower next door is worried about not having a stepmother to take care of his child. I will propose to you tomorrow!"
Boom!
The axe made a crisp sound when it hit the wood.
Su Yuqin shuddered with fright and looked over when she heard the sound. Su Li was chopping wood. He leaned his arm with the sharp blade and split the thick wood in half.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Chop, chop, chop me to death! I was blind to let a sawtooth gourd into my house! Big or small, none of them give me peace of mind!"
Su Li said in a muffled voice: "I've chopped some wood to cook for you. Go inside and wait."
Su Yuqin glared at him fiercely and said, "There's no need for you to be my master." After saying that, she went into the house anyway.
Su Hongpei lay in the west room with a blank look in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Especially since Su Rui told her that Wang Luxing might have something going on with Xiaojuan.
Su Hongpei recalled what Wang Luxing had done in the past two years, and it was indeed not impossible that he had found one secretly.
But he kept saying that he would not give her a dowry, but turned around and wanted to give a dowry to others. She couldn't accept this.
She had originally thought that she would talk to Wang Luxing after she recovered, and if his family really had their own difficulties, she would accept it. But now it seemed that it was all in vain.
"Little sister, you're right. A short pain is worse than a long one." Su Hongpei had cried out half her life's worth of tears that day. She stared at the ceiling with swollen eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Some people's hearts are made of stone. You can't warm them up."
Su Rui added: "Don't listen to your mother."
Su Hongpei grinned: "She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Su Rui doesn't think she's that soft-hearted, and all she sees are knives. Only Su Hongpei thinks everyone is a good person.
Su Hongpei turned her head and saw mud spots on Su Rui's pretty face. She wiped it with her hand and said, "Why is your face so cat-like?"
Su Rui didn't tell her about the beating of Wang Luxing, and said, "I accidentally fell on the way back."
Su Hongpei struggled to get up: "Where did you fall? Let me see."
Su Rui said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, the skin is not even broken."
Su Hongpei was helped to lie down again by her, and she said slowly: "It's good that it's not broken. Who is like you who runs around with a sugar cane all day long? I'm always worried that you will poke your eyes."
Su Rui smiled and said, "That's not enough."
Laughing and laughing...silly.
Old...where is old sugarcane?
Why is her pulp killer gone?
***
The next day.
"Sister Zhao! You have to make the decision for my eldest son." Aunt Wang wiped her tears, thinking of Wang Luxing who was dying at home, she cried again, "It must be Su Hongpei, otherwise why would my son be beaten when she mentioned not giving the betrothal gift?"
"The comrades at the police station said that there were no signs of a fight at the scene. Furthermore, your son's drinking on the roadside was confirmed not only by Comrade Xiao Yan from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but also by Team Leader Wu from the patrol."
"He has had a drinking problem for a long time," Sister Zhao said earnestly. "When he was found, the stink of alcohol on his body was so bad that he couldn't even cover it up. When he woke up, he was still confused."
"Is that just a mess? That's because he got beaten up and his brain is all messed up." Aunt Wang saw that Sister Zhao didn't help, so she wiped her tears and said, "I must find the murderer."
Officer Wu whispered, "Only those who are dead are called murderers."
Aunt Wang glanced at her and stepped out of the door.
When he got home, Wang Luxing was still lying on the kang groaning.
His mother told him that the police station still needed to investigate. He struggled to get up from the kang and said, "I clearly heard Su Hongpei's voice."
Aunt Wang said, "Hurry up and lie down. Hey, Sister Zhao said that Su Hongpei was in the clinic for an injection at the time. Doctor Qian from the clinic and Big Bald can prove it."
When they were at a loss, a voice came from outside: "Hello comrade, I'm from the security office of the army. I want to ask about the situation last night."
Wang Luxing slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, even if the local authorities can't do it, the army can definitely do it!"
Two soldiers wearing armbands came over and stood in front of the kang to ask Wang Luxing about the matter in detail. Wang Luxing remembered it clearly and told him about what he had said to himself at the time.
The two warriors looked at each other.
Wang Luxing kept on talking: "It must be someone from the Su family. It must be Su Hongpei or Su Rui. Yes, it must be Su Rui! Arrest her and give her a hard-working class! She usually
——”
The slightly taller warrior interrupted him and said, "We must rely on evidence when doing things, not guesswork. Do you have any evidence?"
Wang Luxing thought about it for a long time, and finally he lay down with his head in his arms and said: "If the troops don't deal with it, I will lie down at the gate of your troops--"
"The restricted area cannot be violated. I hope you will respect yourself." Another warrior said in a low voice, and then said to the tall warrior: "Okay."
The two warriors saluted them and then walked away one after the other.
They left Wang Luxing's house and arrived at Su Rui's house.
Su Rui stayed at home today to take care of Su Hongpei and did not go to repair the road. She was squatting in front of the stove, boiling red dates water, intending to replenish her elder sister's qi and blood.
A while ago, people in Yiwang Village were selling large dried dates. They were big and cheap, but unfortunately, every household in the surrounding villages had a date tree, so the rare dog-head dates could not be sold.
Su Rui knew what she was talking about. The sour dates at home were no match for the dog-head dates, and their nutritional value was completely different. She waited patiently for the dog-head dates to go on sale at a reduced price, and bought 30 kilograms of them for two yuan, which was a great value for money.
During those days, she would peel two dog-head dates and boil them into sugar water to make her complexion rosy and fair.
"Sister, you should drink more. Take care of your face so that you can marry a son-in-law. Because you are pretty, he will give you less dowry." Su Rui sincerely advised Su Hongpei and passed her the red date water.
Su Hongpei saw her beautiful face that was full of energy every day, thought about it and was finally moved. She picked up the bowl and drank it in one go.
Indeed, it is better to marry one than to marry into someone else's family and be plotted against.
Seeing that Su Hongpei's mood had stabilized, Su Rui also breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Chang'e smelled the aroma and came over, leaning against the door frame like a boneless person: "Why don't you give me a bowl too? Are you eating alone?"
Su Rui looked at her feet coldly: "If you dare to enter my room, I will break your legs."
Su Chang'e quickly retracted her legs and said unconvincedly: "If you have the guts, why don't you break it?"
Su Rui stood up suddenly, and Su Chang'e turned around and ran back to her room.
Oh, little melody.
"Is Comrade Su Rui here?" The tall soldier stood at the gate of the yard. After they finished talking, he said politely, "I'm from the military security office."
Su Rui stood up with a start, walked to the door and saw two warriors guarding the front of the yard. She swallowed and said, "What are you doing?"
"Our leader——"
Su Rui pointed to the east room and said, "Report to the chief, there's also her!"
Su Chang'e was hiding behind the crack of the door and peeking. She immediately pushed the door open and said angrily, "You are a reincarnated water ghost. Why are you dragging me into the water?"
Suri said, "I'm sorry, but I don't like being alone."
Su Chang'e stamped her feet in anger! She was so annoyed every day!
"Then you two can come together." Another warrior made way and politely invited them.
Su Hongpei came out of the house, looked at the other party's military uniform and armband, turned around and looked at her two sisters: "What are you doing behind my back again?"
Su Rui grabbed her hand and said, "For true love, for freedom and equality!"
Su Chang'e spit out the toothpick and said, "Let's go. When we come back, our nephew will be able to run around everywhere."
Su Rui said worriedly: "Sister, you must not marry that bastard named Wang."
Su Hongpei was extremely worried and chased to the gate of the courtyard. She heard the tall soldier say, "Our leader just wants to ask a few questions and will be back soon."
***
Su Rui sat in the wheelchair of the tricycle, with Su Chang'e sitting on her lap.
The bones on this man's face were angular, as were the bones on his buttocks, which caused Su Rui pain in the groin.
She was in pain, so naturally she didn't let Su Chang'e have an easy time. She held Su Chang'e's waist and began to pinch her hard.
Su Chang'e was discovered after falling secretly, and she yelled, "Are you crazy?"
Su Rui said expressionlessly, "It's my turn to sit on your lap."
Su Chang'e was convinced, Su Rui really couldn't bear any loss.
So the three-wheeled motorcycle stopped, and the two of them switched seats, with Su Chang'e holding Su Rui and continuing to sit.
Su Rui grabbed the handle of the bike, she was afraid that Su Chang'e, the vicious female partner, would throw her down. After a while, she felt an arm wrap around her waist, and then the burning pain made her gasp.
The soldier on the motorcycle next to them naturally noticed their little action, and the two of them held back their laughter all the way until they finally arrived at the security guardhouse on the roadside.
As soon as Su Rui entered the room, she saw a big weapon lying on the ground - old sugar cane.
Su Chang'e seemed to be ill. She limped in, rushed up and pointed at Lao Ganzhe and said, "Report to the chief, last night - uh uh -"
Su Rui rushed over and covered Su Chang'e's mouth.
Su Chang'e wished that Su Rui could go to labor reform right now so that she could live with her big brother and become a pair of lovebirds in a locked window. She struggled desperately and vowed to be a witness against the tainted girl.
Su Rui expected that she would betray her, so she decided to skin her alive before going in.
"What are you doing? No fighting, stand at attention and lean against the wall!"
The tall warrior roared, scaring the two men away instantly, and they stood by the wall with their heads down and dejected looks.
"Stand for half an hour and wait for the leader to come over before sitting down." After saying that, the two soldiers went out to hand over their work to other on-duty personnel.
Su Rui knew that the old sugar cane was her evidence. She waited until the noise outside faded away, squatted down, secretly took the old sugar cane in her hand, and poked Su Chang'e: "Give it to me! Chew it!"
Just as Su Chang'e was about to run over to report, Lao Ganzhe brought Fengwu right in front of her nose.
Su Chang'e said reluctantly: "Why should I chew the roots? The roots are the most smelly."
Su Rui turned the old sugar cane over again and gestured threateningly.
Su Chang'e had no choice but to squat in the corner with Su Rui and start to look at the evidence.
Su Rui stroked the purple pole, her cheeks feeling sore from biting it.
Glancing at Su Chang'e, he saw her slacking off again. He bit the sugar cane, chewing it and spitting it. Then he urged her in a low voice, "Eat it quickly. You only have half an hour. When you're done, I'll make you a fake collar when you get home."
Su Chang'e's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
Su Rui made fake collars that were neat and tidy. She could make pointed collars, round collars, and cloud collars. Su Chang'e had been eyeing them for a long time.
"Okay." Su Chang'e picked up the old sugarcane and chewed it rapidly.
......
Hearing no movement from the security office, I thought they were just standing there in prison.
When the tall soldier saw the commander coming, he saluted and wanted to go over to open the door.
Fang Chiye waved his hand, asked him to step aside, and helped Qin Shan open the door.
Two rural ladies appeared before my eyes, squatting on the ground with their backs to the door, chewing the same piece of sugarcane happily.
He took a step back toward the door, looked carefully at the sign that read "Security Guard Room," and went back in.
"Cough cough." Qin Shan was still holding something in his arms. He coughed lightly and was about to speak when he was stopped by Fang Chiye.
Su Rui stood up quickly, with the sugarcane residue still bulging in her cheeks.
Su Chang'e gnawed the last piece of sugarcane fiercely, her lips bleeding, and gave her a thumbs up.
This wave is stable.
Su Rui couldn't bear to watch, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so she could only hit the wall with her head. Just as she was about to hit the wall, a big, thick hand came between her forehead and the wall, blocking the impact.
ha?
Su Rui stood up immediately and felt someone behind her whispering in her ear, "Comrade Su Rui?"
Su Rui felt a tingling sensation on the back of her head, and she mumbled, "It's me."
The other person seemed to laugh briefly, then asked, "Yesterday's sugar cane?"
Here it comes, here it comes, the one who settles the accounts is here.
Su Rui refused to admit it: "There is no sugar cane."
The officer came closer and said, "Vomit."
Su Rui: “No.”
"vomit!"
"No!"
Seeing that she was not interested, the officer said, "I'm sorry."
What did I offend? How could I offend anyone?
Su Rui was still wondering, and then a tall figure came over, surrounded her from behind and pinched her cheeks and applied force secretly.
Su Rui was forced to open her mouth wide, and her embarrassed and panic-stricken eyes were like a hamster hiding food, watching the sugarcane residue being squeezed out but unable to do anything...
The military officer didn't mind, he took it in his palm and showed it to Su Rui, and said with admiration: "You have good teeth, you chew it very well."
"Thank you for the compliment." Su Rui's face was numb: "Cows and horses naturally have good teeth."
