"Hmph, don't even think about it. Tomorrow you'll go sell tofu. If you don't make any money, I'll beat your mouth to a pulp."
"Grandma...Grandma..." Su Ruanruan covered her face and cried bitterly.
Zheng followed her mother-in-law, and even through the oil paper package, she could smell the sweet aroma. She couldn't even remember the last time she had eaten it.
Her stomach was churning with cravings, and she even forgot to bring her daughter along.
Su Fangfang had no intention of leaving, and went forward to pull at Su Ruanruan's ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).
That bitch doesn't deserve such beautiful clothes. If she were to go out in such beautiful clothes, I wonder how many pairs of eyes she would steal.
Su Ruanruan clutched her clothes tightly, saying, "Brother Zhou bought this for me."
Su Fangfang let go of her, crossed her arms, and stood aside, sneering, "You shameless bastard! Last night you were in bed with another man, and today you're hooking up with Butcher Zhou in the woods. How can you be so despicable? If I accidentally tell anyone, the whole village..."
Su Ruanruan turned pale with fright and quickly said, "No, no, you mustn't tell anyone. Brother Zhou said he doesn't want anyone to know about me and him yet, and he'll marry me when everything is ready."
"If Brother Zhou finds out that I'm still having an ambiguous relationship with another man, he'll definitely abandon me. My dear sister, you mustn't tell him. Just pretend you don't know anything, including what happened between him and me, okay?"
Su Fangfang was extremely pleased to see Su Ruanruan looking so frightened.
She knew it; Su Ruanruan was still just as timid and cowardly as ever, she hadn't changed at all.
I don't know where he got the courage to fight her. Maybe it was the man who gave him that gave him the confidence.
"Take off your clothes right now, these are mine."
In the past, anything bought for Su Ruanruan would all go into her pocket; the siblings would never have the chance to enjoy it all by themselves.
"Oh." Su Ruanruan took off her dress while looking at Su Fangfang. "Then you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone."
When the restraints were removed, Su Fangfang froze on the spot. She knew that Su Ruanruan's slender body was well-endowed, but she did not expect her to be so well-endowed.
He immediately looked down at himself and realized he was no match for the great one.
No, she had to go back and take another good look at the book Su Ruanruan had given her.
Seeing her petrified expression, Su Ruanruan smiled and blushed, "Brother Zhou said... he's not afraid of our child going hungry in the future..."
Su Ruanruan lit another oil lamp, and the room instantly became much brighter.
Su Fangfang then noticed that Su Ruanruan's face was as red as a peach blossom, there were red marks on her exposed neck, and even her lips were broken.
"You, you all..."
Su Ruanruan glanced shyly at Su Fangfang before lowering her eyes.
"He's so strong..."
This sentence acted like a catalyst, instantly exploding in Su Fangfang's mind.
She didn't know how she floated away from the room, only that her already turbulent heart was now completely rippled with waves, and she would be sleepless tonight...
After finishing the scene, Su Ruanruan boiled some hot water to wash herself.
Finally, he covered himself with his little blanket and drifted off to sleep.
The oil lamp flickered dimly, and the night was not yet over.
The next day, Su Ruanruan went out through the back door.
As soon as I reached the village road, I saw Su Fangfang carrying a basket and heading towards the big locust tree.
That was Zhou the butcher's house, where he raised pigs. Because of the unpleasant smell, there were not many other houses around.
It seems she has already found out whether Butcher Zhou has returned to the village.
Su Ruanruan glanced at it a few times, then looked away, rubbed her still sore waist, and walked in another direction.
Su Ruanruan knew that Gu Ji had not gone to other villages with his father to treat patients today.
So the first thing that came to his mind was Gu Ji's donkey cart.
Gu Ji was an excellent tree climber; she remembered that he used to collect bird eggs for the original owner to eat.
Upon seeing Su Ruanruan appear, Gu Ji was stunned for a moment, then ran over with a look of surprise.
Ruan Ruan hasn't contacted him proactively for a long time.
"What brings you here? Is there something you need from me?"
His voice was filled with joy as he returned to the kitchen and brought out two freshly roasted sweet potatoes.
He carefully peeled one of the sweet potatoes before handing it to Su Ruanruan.
"Here, I just baked these. They're super sweet, but be careful not to burn yourself."
Gu Yong sat in the courtyard fiddling with herbs. Seeing his son's obsequious behavior, he couldn't bear to look at him anymore. He snorted coldly and went straight into the house.
Gu Ji just glanced back at him, then smiled at Su Ruanruan and said, "Don't mind him, that's just the kind of person my father is."
Su Ruanruan explained his purpose to Gu Ji. Gu Ji didn't think much of it and immediately agreed.
But a donkey cart is a big item in a household. How could she borrow someone else's donkey cart without the owner's permission?
Su Ruanruan hesitated for a moment as she looked around the room, knowing that Uncle Gu Yong had always had a problem with her.
I don't know if he would be willing to lend her his donkey cart.
Gu Ji stared intently at Su Ruanruan and naturally noticed the worry in her eyes.
He immediately winked playfully at her, "It's okay, I'll go tell my dad."
Su Ruanruan watched as the boy, as swift as the wind, ran quickly into the house before she began to look around at the house and the courtyard.
A gentle breeze wafted through the air, carrying the faint aroma of herbs drying in the courtyard.
Although the Gu family consisted of only a father and son, their courtyard was kept very clean and tidy, without a trace of mess.
A short while later, Gu Ji came out of the house, his joy barely concealed.
