Su Tai expressed her confusion about Bai's worries, "Sister Bai, I think you are living a happy life in your husband's family and are still in charge of the household affairs. Mr. Ma is also very good to you and you have a son. Why do you have to please your mother's family? It seems like Ma There is no business relationship between the Bai family and the Bai family.”
These are what Shen Yi said, but she doesn’t know what they are now.
Mr. Bai was both happy and sad when she heard Su Tai's words. She seemed to have found a confidant, and said excitedly: "My sister really touched my heart. In fact, I don't want to please my mother-in-law, but Ma We are not the only family in the family, there are also relatives. If I were to have a bad relationship with my mother-in-law, they would definitely look down on me and look down on me.
Maybe they would have their own ideas and give my husband a woman, but. And the Bai family is here, who dares to offend me? I am still the unshakable mistress of the Ma family, and they all have to obey me.
This is why a woman cannot rely on her mother's family, hey! Well, your mother-in-law’s family treats you like a jewel. Even if Shen Yi is not here, the relatives in your husband’s family will not dare to treat you badly.”
She really envied Su Tai, but if she asked herself, she couldn't be as independent and self-reliant as Su Tai, so she would only be envious, not jealous.
After this heart-to-heart talk, the two really became good sisters.
When Su Tai saw them off, she comforted them a little and gave them some pastries and bread.
In a few days, the entire Zhaohua County people knew the reason why Ringo did not bear any delicious fruit.
Because the grain did not grow well this year and the strawberries in Shenjiazhuang did not grow well, most people were still convinced and the matter was quickly suppressed.
Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief when she got the news. Nowadays, natural disasters and man-made disasters were already chaotic enough. She didn't want another big turmoil to happen where she lived.
The days have returned to calm.
At this time Ke Dasong and his son drove cattle and sheep into Shenjiazhuang again.
Last year, after the villagers learned that they could spend money to send things to their families at the border, they told Ke Dasong to bring over more cattle and sheep this year.
As soon as they entered the village, the villagers became restless.
One by one, they chased each other outside Su Tai's house and looked at the cattle and sheep carefully.
Ke Dasong did not dare to neglect. He shook the wooden stake and asked the two brothers Ke Zhengliang to work.
Su Tai opened the door and asked someone to carry out the village's super large scale beam.
After a busy day of work, it was dark and most of the cattle and sheep were sold.
There are still unselected villagers who have agreed with Ke Dasong to come back tomorrow.
Ke Dasong made a lot of money today and agreed.
Seeing Su Tai closing the door, she immediately asked about the situation of Ke Yunyun and Zhu Kangcheng.
Su Tai directly asked Ke Yunyun to come out to talk to her father and brother.
Ke Dasong was even more happy to learn that his daughter and grandson were living well, and allocated two hundred taels to her again.
Ke Yunyun turned pale with fright, and shook her head like a rattle, "Dad, please do it! Don't give me any more money! Otherwise, I won't dare to see you in the future, let alone Meet my sister-in-law and nephew!”
"What nonsense are you talking about! Just give it to you if your father gives it to you! No one knows!" As he said this, Ke Dasong turned back and glared at his two sons threateningly.
Ke Zhengliang and Ke Zhengping immediately raised their hands and swore solemnly, "Dad, we don't know anything!"
Ke Yunyun: "."
"Big brother and second brother! I I know you care about me, but I really can't take your money. I haven't touched a penny of the money you gave me last year!" Ke Yunyun said helplessly. The Ke family, father and son, were all shocked, "Why, you eat and live with your cousin, and you don't give me any money? Girl, we can't do such a shameless thing."
"Dad! What are you talking about!" Ke Yunyun blushed with anxiety.
Su Tai on the side couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly explained: "Uncle, my cousin doesn't live and eat at my place for free. She wants money, but I don't want it. You saw it too. I'm alone. With four children, they are all so young, and I have to take care of outside things, I am not busy at all. My cousin has been a big help here.
Logically speaking, I have to give her some money. ! It’s my cousin who refuses to accept it, so I said that we don’t have to talk about money. She helps me take care of the family and I am responsible for raising them. We have agreed that there is no need to take advantage.”
Only then did Ke Dasong realize that he had misunderstood the child. He scratched his head in embarrassment and confirmed with Ke Yunyun again, "You really don't want the money?"
"If you don't want it, you don't want it!" Ke Yunyun answered firmly.
Ke Dasong had no choice but to take the money back, and then scratched his head and asked: "Xiao Tai, what is the price of grain this year? Do you still sell grain in your village?" I went to the village to collect grain and returned. Although the tax went up last year, the increase was not correct, and there were still people who were willing to sell. This year, I went to several villages and asked about it. No one was willing to sell grain. They probably have to start buying grain from here. If there is no one to sell it, you can only go to the grain store in town to buy it, but that will cost you a lot of money.
After Su Tai learned about their situation, she immediately said: "Uncle, cousin, wait a minute. I will cook for you. You can try it in a while to see if you are used to it."
The Ke family, father and son, all looked confused.
Ke Yunyun was very happy, "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, my cousin's family also has another kind of food called white rice. It's so fragrant. A little bit can cook a pot of porridge, and can also steam rice to make you feel full. , so delicious!”
Ke Dasong and the other two looked forward to it.
After a while, Su Tai brought a large pot of dry rice, a large pot of lean mushroom porridge and a pot of braised pork, "Eat it!"
Such a simple and crude dish, but it is real.
The hungry father and son were not polite to Su Tai and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
The three people who had tasted the rice were still unsatisfied and quickly asked Su Tai how to sell white rice.
Su Tai made a gesture of silence, asking them to speak in a lower voice, "Uncle, cousin, white rice is rice. It was originally the food from Longxia Kingdom. You also know that my family has Zhuangzi. I have hired people to carefully prepare these rice." Wait, I'm a steal. I don't want to keep it public.
I have more than enough to eat for myself. I can give some to you. We are all relatives and I won't ask for more from you. One pound counts as twenty cents. , is it possible?"
Ke Dasong's eyes widened and he smiled excitedly, "I'm sure it's fine, but will you suffer a loss?"
Su Tai shook his head, "Eat. What's the loss? I didn't plan to take out the food, but I still made a profit."
In this case, Ke Dasong stopped being polite to Su Tai and asked her for 2,500 kilograms and another one. Thousands of pounds of wheat.
A thousand kilograms of wheat is just a drop in the bucket for Su Tai. She can just take it from the cellar, and she doesn't make much money. The price is still calculated according to the price of previous years.
The Ke family and his son were completely relieved after receiving the food.
The next day they sold all the cattle and sheep required by the village, and then helped slaughter the cattle. When they were almost busy, they set off for Dongmen Village.
On the way back, come back to Su Tai to get food.
A few days after the Ke Dasong family returned home, late autumn icy rain began to fall from the sky. The bone-chilling rain was mixed with snowflakes, making people shiver with the cold. (End of chapter)
