Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 14: It is impossible to cancel the engagement

The meal in the main room was like a war. The few people who were usually more aggressive were childish compared to the Liu family. The dishes were cleaner than locusts crossing the border.

The whole family was stunned.

There were only a few drops of oil on the table, which made the Liu family feel like they were at a fairy banquet.

Su's father and Su's mother were secretly glad that their children did not crowd together with them to eat. Didn't you see that even the most protective Zheng couldn't give You Fugui a couple of bites of food?

terrible.

In the end, Old Sutou said that he would be given an extra five taels of silver and would not ask for a dowry. The Liu family just refused and insisted on fifty taels! Ms. Wang jumped and scolded her, saying she wanted to break off the engagement!

The Liu family just left.

When I left, I also took away the eggs in the kitchen and the dishes to be cooked in the evening. Then he carried the sacks to the vegetable garden and took away all kinds of vegetables from a large area of ​​vegetable land.

Most of the various cereals in the kitchen jars, such as soybeans, mung beans, black beans, etc., were also dumped.

Ms. Wang was so angry that she rubbed her chest, wishing she could go forward and fight Ms. Liu again.

After the man left, he scolded Ms. Feng for a whole hour without taking a break. It's not embarrassing enough to say that she has chosen such an in-laws.

And Su Youwen came back after the Liu family left.

Standing next to his mother, he only said a word of help, saying that the Liu family daughter was found by Wang, but Wang pointed at her nose and scolded her for a long time.

Su Youwen, her eldest grandson, usually held some weight in her heart, but at this time Wang was angry, sprayed foam on her, and scolded both of them bloody.

He clamored to break off the engagement.

Old Sutou and everyone persuaded him to stop. Su Youwen will be leaving in a few days. Where can I find a suitable one?

Even if there is, you are looking for someone before leaving, aren't you afraid of someone else's lion opening your mouth?

Su Qingying and the twins hid in the room with the door closed and listened for a long time, and found out that it was wonderful. It turns out that cursing is an art form, tsk tsk.

Su Qingying laughed when she saw the two little things looking out from under the door while being frightened.

Afraid of dirtying the ears of the two little ones, I pulled them back to the bed and rubbed them for a long time.

The three siblings had only been arguing for a while when Father Su and Mother Su opened the door and walked in.

Outside the house, Mrs. Wang had stopped talking, and everyone fled back to their houses as if they were being pardoned.

Only then did Su's father have the opportunity to tell Su's mother about the five taels of silver, which shocked Su's mother so much that she opened her mouth.

"Why are you taking Uncle Su's money?"

Su's mother, like Su's father, is an honest person who doesn't think clearly about the joints inside.

Su Qingying explained to her again. Maybe this is the first one. In the future, other furniture made by his family using this idea will be the only one. Maybe his family’s family workshop can enter the homes of medium and large households, and then he will get more money. .

After hearing this, Mother Su breathed a sigh of relief and happily touched the five taels of silver again and again. This is money, I haven’t even had the chance to see it. The two hundred copper coins I had saved over the years could be touched several times at night.

How many coppers can these five taels of silver be exchanged for?

I can't even put it in my purse, so I need to put it in a box.

After touching enough, he pushed all the five taels of silver to Su Qingying: "This is all earned by Qingying, all given to Qingying. We are in the countryside and have no place to spend money. You are in the town, nothing is expensive. , We don’t even know what the Lu family is like. We have a little money and it’s easier to do things, so my parents can rest assured.”

Su Qingying was moved. Seeing that Su's father also looked in agreement, she pushed the money back with a smile and took two taels from it.

He said: "I'll just keep two taels with me, and my parents will keep the rest. Grandma is a picky person, so if you keep some money with you, you can guard against someone else."

Su's father and Su's mother pushed hard, but they couldn't resist Su Qingying, so they had to accept the money.

Su Qingying breathed a sigh of relief. It was too difficult for these two honest people to save money under Wang's nose. The two of them usually didn't have any scheming intentions. Su Qingying didn't want to ask these two honest people to go around begging for help when they needed money.

Making money is more convenient for her than them.

After a long rest, Su's father and mother went to the ground. Su Qingying stayed at home. She was about to go out, but Wang did not ask her to follow her.

The house was suddenly empty, and the few children also ran outside to play.

Su Qingying took the twins at home and waited for Su Mu Pian.

Su Mu Ping came in person, bringing his two sons, a big table and three stools.

After a few people said hello, Su Mu Pian took his two sons into the house to measure the dimensions.

Su Qingying used charcoal to draw a schematic diagram of the partition she wanted to make on the paper she brought with her from the Su Mu table.

"Does the door need to be so big? Is this not our ordinary door?" Su Dashu asked.

Sumu Plane took Su Sanstool to measure the dimensions and looked over.

"Yes, what I want to do is to slide the door. The partition is two feet shorter than the wall, and the place where it connects to the beam is made hollow to facilitate ventilation. Making the door larger will also facilitate ventilation of the room inside. Don't do it Changing the ordinary wooden door into a sliding door makes it easier to use the space. The room is too small, and it will look even smaller if the door is left vacant. ”

Su Qingying said.

The partition inside is for Xiao Qingxing. A chest of drawers for two people will be placed at the door. The five drawers and two rows of double drawers are enough for the twins. Then it will be enough to make a table for Xiao Qingyang in the outside room. .

The bed should be placed against the wall. Make it smaller. One meter and two meters is enough for sleeping.

The bed is not made of the current wooden frame and covered with wooden boards, but is made into a box. The bed boards are pulled up, and thick winter quilts and thick clothes can be placed in the bed box, and some small items can be stored.

The room is small and cannot accommodate many boxes and baskets, so we can only use the space above and below the bed for storage.

Su Mucheng might as well have given him another surprise. Not only did the sliding door give him inspiration, the space on the bed was also used to the extreme. Even his mother and his wife were digging under the bed to hide things.

Otherwise, you will just stuff all kinds of things and jars under the bed. When you look for them, you have to crawl under the bed and pull them out, and they will easily accumulate dust.

"Qingying, you made good use of this bed." Su Mucheng looked at the drawing and sighed.

Su Qingying shook her head and chuckled: "If the room wasn't too small, I wouldn't take advantage of it like this. I still like the ventilation under the bed."

Su Dazhuo Su Sanshi also praised the drawings: "This bed is so good at storing things. Thick winter quilts and clothes can be stuffed into it, and there is no need to make cabinets or cages in the room. Didn't you notice that the room is so small that it is crowded?" Stacking boxes and cages doesn’t even have a place to stand, and it looks messy. I’ll make one when I get home.”

Su Muxiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and praised Su Qingying for a while.

Su Qingying was embarrassed.

The two little ones were leaning against her legs with their heads raised and their faces filled with pride.

"Uncle won't charge you for this partition and two beds. If other people need it in the future, I will also design it this way." Su Mu said while squeezing Tuyo.

Su Qingying smiled and said: "It's not worth anything, so Uncle Pian can just use it. The money is included in my dowry, and my grandfather gave it to me anyway."

Sumuchang laughed.

He decided to go back and discuss with his father to give Qingying the complete set of dowry that his family had made for someone else. Anyway, the family still had plenty of time, so they could just make another one as soon as possible.

The next day is the big market in Fengting Town, and many people in Qiaotou Village are going to the market. Mother Su was going to town to buy a dowry for Su Qingying today. She was afraid that the village chief's bullock cart would not be able to fit in the crowd, so she got Su Qingying up before dawn.

Normally, Su's mother would be willing to pay two copper coins for the bus, but when her child was about to go out, she was reluctant to walk. She would walk as fast as she could, and the child wouldn't be able to stay at home for more than a few days.

Mother Su's heart was full of melancholy.

Su Qingying was half-carried by Su's mother and sat on the bullock cart in a daze, swaying all the way until she had a full sleep before arriving in the town.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the sky was just beginning to turn white.

But at the gate of the town, people were already coming and going. Drivers, people carrying burdens, people on the road, people with children in tow, it’s noisy and lively.

After getting off the car near the entrance of the town, Su Qingying followed Su's mother into the town, watching this vivid scene all the way.

I find it very interesting.

As she walked to the entrance of the town, she noticed eyes on her. She looked up and saw Lu Bocheng standing on tiptoe at the gate of the city, looking towards her with his neck raised.
