Chapter 41 Su Sheng asks for help
After that, the two brothers left the money and left carrying three hundred and fifty kilograms of grain.
Su Chunlin got seventeen and a half taels from selling grain seeds and specially sent them to Shenjiazhuang to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi asked Su Chunlin to bring some things to Su Tai, and the money was hidden in them.
After going around in a circle, the money was returned to Su Tai's hand. Together with the copper coins before, the money in her hand was a small twenty taels.
At the same time, the auspicious day chosen by Su Chunlin for the housewarming also came out. Unexpectedly, it coincided with Su Yan's wedding day. For this reason, Su Tai went to Su Changxi's house to apologize to Su Yan, and then gave her a copper hairpin and a party. Handkerchief to add makeup.
Su Yan is about to become a bride, and her whole body is full of longing for getting married. Although she is regretful, she understands.
The two little sisters talked for a while, and then Su Tai left.
The day before the Su family moved into their new house, Shen Yi braved the wind and snow and carried two large rattan baskets. There were some food in them that could not be bought in Moshi Town.
Han was very surprised, "Shen Yi, where did you get these?"
Shen Yi smiled and respected Han's attitude, "I bought this from Dahe Town across the Daxun River. Dahe Town is more prosperous and lively than Moshi Town, and naturally has more things."
"Yes, yes! There are definitely more things in Dahe Town than in Moshi Town. I'm worried that there won't be any good tributes tonight. These snacks are just right!" Mrs. Han smiled from ear to ear.
Su Tai took a closer look and found that Han's rare snack was actually a kind of steamed cake, which may have been mixed with other mixed dried fruits. It smelled particularly fragrant, but the workmanship was simple and unpretentious.
She thought for a while, went back to the house and got a bag of white noodles, and secretly handed it to Shen Yi, who took it out.
Su Tai took a handful of the white flour and asked Su Changxi's family, who was having a wedding, for some curds to knead the flour and ferment it.
Han knew immediately what Su Tai was going to do, and she gasped in distress, "You prodigal girl, you can just make rough flour buns, but you still use fine white flour, you really don't know how to run a household!"
Su Tai turned around and asked, "Mom, have you ever eaten white-flour steamed buns when you were so old?"
Han was stunned by the question, shook his head subconsciously, and immediately defended in embarrassment, "You also know the situation on your grandfather's side. He is very poor. I have brothers and sisters above me, so how can I afford to eat white flour!"
In her memory, she seemed to have never eaten a bite of food made from white flour.
Thinking of this, I no longer complained about Su Tai's waste of food, but only watched her carefully, for fear that she would waste the food.
It was already past noon while waiting for the dough to ferment.
The days are short in winter and the wind and snow are heavy outside. The family stays in the main room talking, silently waiting for dark.
At this moment, a rapid knock on the door came.
Su Chunlin and Shen Yi went out to take a look and found that it was Su Sheng outside the door.
"Uncle Chunlin, my sister is being bullied by the Sang family, can you go over and support her?" Su Sheng was very anxious, even sweating in the middle of winter.
When Su Chunlin heard this, he took the bamboo hat and rushed out without saying a word.
Shen Yi and Su Zhan will also follow.
Su Tai was worried about Su Yan, so she also stood up, "Mom, you and my little brother stay at home while I go to see Sister Yan."
Han nodded silently and watched them go out with a worried look on his face.
When a group of people followed the villagers and arrived at Sang's house in Fufeng Township, the whole Sang's house was in a mess, and Su Yan's brothers even dropped their wine bowls.
"What's going on? The township chief is amazing! My father is also the township chief! Who do you think you are if you dare to intimidate my cousin?" Su Yang roared at Sangrong's mother, Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was trembling with anger and pointed at Su Yang and the others with trembling fingers, "They are really uneducated! How can a girl raised by such a family be such a good thing!"
"Old lady Zhou, who are you scolding? It was you who took the initiative to ask someone to come to our door to propose marriage, and it was you who were eager to marry my sister. But now you are so disgusted with her, I can't understand it!" Su Sheng suppressed his anger and stepped forward.
Su Chunlin looked at Sang Yong who was watching from the side, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed him, "What do you mean?"
Sang Yong pushed Su Chunlin away dissatisfied, flicked his collar, and casually glanced at the group of people giving the wedding, with a look of disgust on his face, "Su Changxi is also the head of Dongmen Village, and he only has to pay a small dowry when he marries a daughter. He is Are you going to send the beggar away? He still thinks that our Sang family is not worthy of his daughter, and he deliberately makes us lose face!"
"Dowry? What dowry?" Su Chunlin was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Sheng.
Su Sheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Your Sang family gave you twenty taels of silver as a dowry gift, and we gave my sister twenty taels of silver as a dowry, plus four beds with quilts and coats, and a cabinet and dresser. What's the problem?"
"You don't even know what's the problem!" Sang Yong exclaimed with an exaggerated look, his eyes widened: "I told your father before about the dowry we want, but your father didn't care at all. It’s not our fault!”
Su Chunlin ran to Su Sheng and asked in a low voice: "What dowry does he want?"
Su Sheng was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, "Liang Zhong."
Su Chunlin suddenly realized it. He jumped up on the spot, pointed at Sang Yong with his arms akimbo and yelled, "What the hell is your mother! Let's all judge, whose daughter's dowry wheel is chosen by her husband's family? Is there any? Is there any?"
The people in Sangjia Village felt guilty and remained silent, while the people in Dongmen Village loudly replied, "This has never happened!"
Sang Yong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
"I won't mess around with you! Anyway, if the Su family can't come up with a dowry that satisfies our Sang family today, the bride will never want to enter our house!"
"Ha! Sang Yong, you are also the head of Fufeng Township after all, but you are so arrogant and shameless, so don't blame us for being rude!" Su Chunlin blushed with anger.
Sang Yong is not worried at all, this is his territory.
Su Tai watched with cold eyes, knowing that there were many people on the other side and they really couldn't get any advantage, so she secretly whispered a few words in Su Zhan's ear. After Su Zhan left, she walked towards the bullock cart where Su Yan was resting temporarily.
The girl who looked like a delicate flower yesterday was like an eggplant beaten by frost, her whole body was wilted, as if she had lost her soul.
Seeing her miserable appearance, Su Tai felt an inexplicable anger well up in her heart. She stepped forward and hugged Su Yan tightly, "We are all on your side. Nothing will happen."
Su Yan's unfocused eyes slowly fell on Su Tai, tears gradually filled her eyes, and she threw herself into Su Tai's arms and cried loudly.
Su Tai hugged her and looked around, "Where is the groom?"
Su Yan cried and shook her head, "I didn't see anyone else."
Su Tai became even more angry and said to Shen Yi: "Brother Shen, please help me search. Find Sang Rong and bring him to me."
Shen Yi nodded slightly and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After a while, a man in bright red clothes was carried out by Shen Yi from the backyard of Sang's house. He struggled all the way, "Let me go, let me go, bastard! Someone, help me!"
Mrs. Zhou watched her son being restrained by Shen Yi, and felt so distressed that she was about to rush over, "Son! My son! Someone is coming, hurry up and save him!"
Shen Yi was calm in the face of danger, and pinched Sang Rong's throat with his backhand, with cold eyes, "Get out of here! Otherwise I will kill him!"
