I asked about the price of cotton and coarse cloth. Cotton has not yet reached the harvest season and is very expensive, but I am not in a hurry because it is not cold yet. In the end, Su Tang spent 40 yuan to buy some coarse cloth and put it in a backpack. Carrying inside.
She spent another five cents to buy some needlework and thread. She had left some at home, but it was not enough. Moreover, she planned to make clothes, so she naturally needed to buy some.
Finally, Su Tang bought another can of rapeseed oil. On the way out of the town, she went to a small grocery store and bought a large bag of alkaline noodles. Just now, she was afraid that Yang Fudud would guess that the soap was made from alkaline noodles, so she didn't Buy it. Fortunately, during the saponification reaction, the alkali surface is not used much.
One pound last time lasted a long time. This time she bought two more pounds, which was enough to last a long time. As for the amount of rapeseed oil she bought, she was not afraid of anyone knowing. After all, most people knew that this was used for cooking. I thought it was used to make soap.
After buying all these, Su Tang and Su Nuo walked to Sujiatun together. The two siblings made money today and returned home with a full load and smiles.
After the two returned home, she planned to go to the Qingjiang River to continue 'catching' fish. Su Nuo was still unwilling to go to the river because of her previous experience of being thrown into the river, so Su Tang let him play at home. .
But it was said that Su Tang took the bamboo basket to the riverside, and Chen Xiuxiu also went to Su Yonggui's house to talk to Jiang.
"Tsk tsk, your eldest daughter and Dalang are really capable. I just saw them coming back from town. Inside the bamboo baskets they were carrying, they looked completely different from before."
Seeing Chen Xiuxiu coming, Wu generously grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her, and Chen Xiuxiu started talking.
When Wu heard what Chen Xiuxiu said, her face changed. "What nonsense are you talking about? My eldest daughter and Dalang are still at home. When did they go to town?"
When Chen Xiuxiu saw Wu's behavior, she also sneered, "Why are you pretending to be like me? I don't know what you are thinking, Guixiang. You just watch those two brats so carefree outside?"
"You don't know. They came back from town just now. Many people saw them, but they all said that their life was better after they adopted them. Tsk, tsk, I heard Yang Cuihua and others talking about you behind your back."
When Chen Xiuxiu saw that Mrs. Wu was still pretending, she directly said that the sister and brother had to make a living under Mrs. Wu, and their hair was disheveled and dirty every day. At that time, Mrs. Wu was criticized when she went out, and they all refused and said that she was her stepmother. , it’s not easy to control too deeply.
Everything is attributed to the fact that the two children don't like her and don't like to be clean. She is also easy to control and dare not say anything. So although some people see clearly what Wu is, there are also many people who believe in Wu. .
After all, that's what it's like when filling in a house. It's hard to tell whether the original wife's child is too light or too heavy. Su Dani doesn't come out much, works at home, talks little, doesn't defend herself, and no one wants to play with Su Dalang when he goes out. .
So Wu had pushed herself clean before, and many people really believed that it was Su Dani and Dalang who didn't like to be clean, so that was why they were like that.
Of course, there are many people with smart ears and eyes who can see clearly, and there are also people talking behind the scenes, but Wu can barely maintain her reputation. As a result, Wu's reputation has begun to deteriorate after what happened before.
Wu also knew that letting Su Dani and Dalang go to worship the river god would definitely affect her reputation, but it only took a while for everyone to die. As long as she supplemented the money in the future, people would soon forget about it. How did her two children die? She would still be able to maintain a good reputation when the time comes.
Mrs. Wu used to work as a maid in a wealthy family, and she was very proficient in these methods, but she had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that both her sister and brother were thrown into the river, and they were still alive.
Now that these two children live for one day, everyone will remember how they were adopted by Su Laoshuan, and they will all remember that she is the stepmother of these two children, and why Chen Xiuxiu said she didn't know.
That day, she didn't expect that the siblings were still alive when they went to worship the river god. She panicked for a moment, why did she let them be adopted out? If she were still at home, she would always find a way to deal with them. Now that she has left home, she is also famous. It's not fair to say so.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth when she looked at Chen Xiuxiu. If Chen Xiuxiu hadn't said something about her sister and brother's fate, she wouldn't have panicked and told her mother-in-law Zhao.
"You also said that if you hadn't told me about their desperate fate, there would have been no adoption. If they were living under my hands, would they still be here now?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Wu Guixiang, if I hadn't been nice to you, why would I be telling you this? It was you who complained to me that you didn't like those two brats, so I helped you with the idea.
I helped you like this, and you treat me like this? Moreover, you dare to say that you were not afraid at that time. I was standing by and watched you and your father-in-law throw them into the river. They were instantly flooded, and you saw it yourself.
Later, I heard someone close to the Fuhua family say that they searched for almost an hour on the river but couldn't find anyone. Suddenly someone appeared on the shore. That damn girl couldn't be beaten with a stick. When they came out, they cried loudly and said that the river god despised them and refused to live with them.
Aren't you afraid? Your brother-in-law's illness is fake, but it doesn't mean that the other things are not real. When you gave birth to Wulang, you died almost half of your life. "
Chen Xiuxiu became angry when Wu said this, and she said this.
Mrs. Wu has always been good at pretending to be a good person. When she saw Chen Xiuxiu like this, she quickly pulled her and said, "Oh, my good sister, I said the wrong thing. I apologize to you!"
As he spoke, he slapped himself in the mouth. After hearing what Chen Xiuxiu said later, Wu also said, "I know you are well-intentioned and are thinking about me."
In fact, what Chen Xiuxiu said, she also thought about it. Su Sanshou was pretending to be ill, but the accident was real, but not that serious. She almost died, but she herself had a dystocia when she gave birth to Wulang, and she almost gave up one for this son. Life goes.
Later, the doctor himself said that it would be difficult for her to have babies in the future. This made her more determined to get rid of Liu's two children. Everything in their big house could only belong to her children.
Moreover, Wu Lang was not in good health because of the difficult childbirth. However, Da Lang was always beaten and did not have enough to eat, but he was still alive and strong. She only saw that her son was as weak as a kitten, but Da Lang was so good. It's just like frying and burning, no matter how you look at it, they don't like it.
She didn't take anything she said to be true before, but this time about offering sacrifices to the river god, she really believed it.
Su Sanshou's accident didn't cause serious problems because she was just an uncle-nephew relationship with the two cubs. Her stepmother almost died in childbirth because she was closer to them.
As for Ms. Liu, she was the one who gave birth to two cubs. Wouldn't she be dead? These two bastards are hard-working and can't control their relatives.
