"Qiao'er is right. The affairs between these big shots are not something that ordinary people like us can get involved in. If we are not careful, we may end up with the whole family being executed."
"But why did you collect the herbs again?"
Su Qiao was silent for a moment: "Grandpa, you are not talking about the other person's temperament... I just don't want to annoy him."
In fact, Su Qiao still had some concerns in his heart.
If they don't take anything, the other party may think that they are deliberately pretending to be noble, deliberately trying to attract the other party's attention, and have the ambition to curry favor with them.
If they took the silver, the other party might think that the Su family was short-sighted and profit-driven, and would look down on them and not take it seriously at all.
At this critical moment, if she was not taken seriously, her grandfather, as the only manager who survived the coal mine, would definitely be targeted by some people.
For example, the county magistrate and county magistrate mentioned above, and the families of several other managers, both big and small, who died in the coal mine.
They were able to become managers because their families had more or less some kind of relatives relationship with the government offices.
In short, if everything is clear now, the Su family will be in a lot of trouble.
The old man was actually in a dilemma about accepting gifts.
After hearing what my granddaughter said, I felt that it did make some sense.
"Qiao'er has really grown up. She now considers the overall situation and has a long-term vision. She is not blinded by the small profits in front of her.
Not bad! Very good! If you were a man… "
After a pause, the old man glanced at his eldest son who was still sulking over the one hundred taels of silver, and sighed with some regret: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Su Huaian, who didn't quite understand, looked at his elder brother, then at his father. He was worried and couldn't help asking, "Dad, can we go out now?"
"The wheat in the field is ripe, and some people in the village have already started to harvest it. We have to hurry up and finish harvesting the wheat, so we can plant corn soon. And the two mu of paddy fields should also start to sprout seedlings."
Hearing the word "seedlings", Su Qiao swallowed.
She wants to eat rice.
Being used to eating rice, she was still a little uncomfortable eating steamed buns, dough balls, cornmeal and the like.
Because Liushu Village is located at the junction of the north and the south, the temperature is pleasant. Some people grow wheat and sweet potatoes, while others grow rice and peanuts.
Eating habits are also a combination of the north and the south. Some people like to eat noodles, steamed buns, and pancakes, while others like to eat rice.
The Su family has eight acres of corn fields and two acres of rice fields.
The old man nodded and said, "You can go out now, but don't say anything if others ask."
"It's just right. Since I'm going to die soon, our whole family will go to the fields to harvest wheat in a few days."
As he said that, he looked at the wound on Su Qiao's right arm and said, "Forget it, Qiao'er. Stay home and rest for a few days."
"Then I'll be responsible for cooking!"
The whole family had to go to the fields, and Su Qiao was embarrassed to just sit and wait for food.
Besides, she had to go up the mountain to dig grass and hunt.
Zhou Lihua quietly pinched her shoulder from behind and said, "How can that be? You are still sick. Doctor Li said you need to stay in bed and rest.
And the hands can’t get wet, otherwise the scars will get deeper, and my mother has to do the cooking.”
Zhou Lihua spoke righteously, patting her chest and continuing, "Dad, Mom, I'll stay home to cook, and I can also look after Dani."
The old lady opened her mouth to scold.
The old man pulled her and nodded first: "That's fine."
"Qiao'er, I will find a way to get the herbs to remove the scar on your hand."
Although we live in the countryside and there aren't so many rules, it's always bad for a girl to have scars on her body.
