Chapter 59 Suspecting that there is something wrong with the bamboo sticks
In the darkness, she gave the man a disdainful look: What's the use of protecting him anymore? You can’t get it anyway.
After finally waiting for everyone in the family to fall asleep, Su Daya and Su Erya quietly left the house again.
Their room is just not good. From the window, you can see the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Li family's room.
Just can't see the houses of the old lady, Su Qiumei and Su Dafu.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to run out of the house in the middle of the night to stare.
"Sister, are you going to breastfeed them and not do it tonight?"
Su Erya didn't even know how many mosquito bites she had received. After staring at it for seven consecutive nights and seeing nothing, she wanted to give up.
"Shh! Stop talking. The house is open."
Hearing Su Daya's voice, Su Erya became energetic.
She hurriedly looked towards the old lady's room, and sure enough she saw the old lady walking towards the kitchen with a large basin of things in her hand.
The two sisters were happy, they both saw hope in each other's eyes.
Seeing that the lights were lit in the kitchen, the old lady closed the door, and then they quietly approached the kitchen.
The old lady closed the door and began to wash and cut the pork suet. Then she sat by the stove and lit a fire to refine the oil.
Jiujiu looked at the two heads outside the window, which were exposed from time to time, and she cursed secretly: "You are a white-eyed wolf who eats everything in and out."
After the scolding, the old lady felt that the scolding was not entirely correct. Thinking of what happened just now, she felt that Wang's statement was correct.
These two are thieves, thieves who specialize in stealing the Su family's money-making crafts.
The daughter told them to let the two of them eat the food inside and outside, and watch her refine the oil.
Let them only see it but not eat it, it will make them so delicious and greedy to death.
Anyway, they can't learn anything just by watching this.
Dare to challenge their Su family's wealth-making skills? See how she treats them?
"Sister, I'm so hungry. It would be great if I could eat a piece of grease."
Waves of fragrance penetrated their nostrils so aggressively that they couldn't stop it.
Of course, they couldn't bear to smell such a fragrant smell.
"Didn't you say that you just saw milk refining into oil last time? How come it's been refining oil just a few days ago? You don't see much oil being used for cooking at home?"
Su Daya asked suspiciously while swallowing.
"That's why I said, what did they do with the oil? I just don't know if they used it to make soap?"
"Are you stupid? We are so stingy about our breasts. If the soap has to be made with such expensive lard, will she agree? Isn't it strange that she doesn't feel distressed to death? If you don't tell her, would you be willing to do it in your place?"
Su Erya shook her head. She didn't even have enough to eat, so why would she give up?
Seeing Su Erya nodding, Su Daya felt that she was smart. She felt proud and became more and more interested in analyzing:
"Let me ask you, when my sister-in-law ate meat, the meat juice accidentally dripped onto her clothes. Is the oil easy to wash off?"
"I saw Su Ling wash her for a long time, but she couldn't get it clean, and she even got scolded by her mother!" Su Erya recalled.
"Isn't that enough? It's so difficult to wash things stained with oil. Do you think this soap is made of lard?"
After listening to Su Daya's analysis, Su Erya shook his head vigorously and looked at Su Daya with admiration:
"Sister, you are so smart. If you were a boy, you would be the best at reading in our Su family."
Hearing Su Erya's praise, Su Daya was greatly benefited. She stretched out her hand and stroked Su Erya's head gently.
My hair, which hadn't been washed in more than ten days, was greasy and sticky, and I didn't care.
It was probably around the time of the first rooster crow that the old lady finished refining the lard.
The oil was too hot, and the old lady couldn't take it into the room to store it for the time being, so she had to lock the kitchen door with a lock.
She then went back to her room and slept in her cage.
The two sisters realized that it was another fruitless day, so they dragged their sleepy bodies back to the house to sleep.
Today is another day for the Su family to draw lots. Originally, Su Ling didn't want to go to town anymore, but Li Qingluo reminded her.
Only then did she remember that today was the day the Su family received the news that Su Tiecheng had died in the battle, and it was also the day the Su family took away all the pensions given to their mother and daughter by the court.
Therefore, she wanted to get the money in advance before she got the pension from the Su family today.
Even if they don't lack the money, they can't give this family a free advantage in vain.
As expected, after eating breakfast, Su Ling drew another bamboo slice with circles.
It was okay the first time, but the second time I was jealous of the other two-room people.
Su Ling didn't care about them. What were they saying behind or in front of her?
Holding a cloth bag filled with more than 30 pieces of soap, she walked out of the door. Today she went to town alone.
"Mom, Ling is such a young girl. If she goes to town alone, are you not afraid of being taken away by her?"
In fact, how could they be afraid of taking Su Ling away? What they are afraid of is that the soap in Su Ling's hand will be snatched away by others, right?
"Did you not wear your ears just now? Didn't she say that the third daughter-in-law left early? Wait for her at the entrance of the village now."
If Su Ling was alone, the old lady would not dare to give her so much soap.
It's a small matter that she disappeared. To the old lady, this soap is nothing but money.
"Huh? Where are Da Ya and Er Ya?" Only then did Qian realize that the two girls were missing.
"Mom, they just went out carrying baskets on their backs."
Su Dafu and Su Dacai were about to go out and ask their friends to go to the mountains to find bird eggs. When they heard Qian's question, they replied.
"These two damn girls are getting more and more lazy, running away after breakfast without washing the bowls..."
Mrs. Qian muttered as she went to clean up the dishes. This job was Su Daya's. If she didn't do it, she, the mother, would have to do it, otherwise they would never have anything to eat.
"Mom, is there any difference in the lottery you made? Why is it that the third-bedroom girl gets picked every time?" Ms. Wang suspected that the old lady was partial to the third-bedroom girl.
Qian originally wanted to wash the dishes, but when she heard Wang's words, she turned back:
"Yes, mother, it's their third room that goes there every time. When will our two rooms be able to earn... money for the Su family?"
Su Tiezhu and Su Tieniu originally wanted to say a few words.
However, when he saw that his mother's face started to look bad, she wisely walked away and started looking for tools to get ready to work in the fields.
"Are you suspecting that my old lady is partial?" The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Mom, where can I find it?"
The two laughed.
"Where can I find it? You can see it. It's obvious that you are unlucky and want to blame it on my old woman."
The old lady didn't take the blame. She walked over a few steps, took out the cloth bag for drawing lots, and took out the three bamboo sticks inside.
"Look for yourselves and tell me if you find anything different."
Between the two of them, you look at me and I look at you, but Qian reaches out his hand first.
Then the two looked carefully and couldn't find anything different.
