Chapter 62 Old 3 is gone
Seeing the other party like this, Su Ling was also satisfied. If the other party was stubborn, she would beat him first.
Beating up an innocent person for no reason was not what she wanted.
If I remember correctly, in my previous life, the pension paid by the court was ninety taels.
She opened the letter and looked at it. Sure enough, it said ninety taels.
She glanced at the messenger and took away only the ninety taels of silver.
As for the two taels of broken silver, she guessed it belonged to the messenger himself.
Su Ling did not take the two taels of broken silver, but only got the pension money and the letter, so she put away the sword.
Ignoring the surprised expression of the messenger, he walked away on his own.
When the little man in black walked away, the messenger bent his fingers, put them to his lips and whistled.
The horse not far away heard the call of its master and ran back to the messenger.
The messenger felt like he had narrowly escaped death. However, this feeling of dying didn't seem too... strong. The child didn't seem to have any murderous intention towards him.
He could see now that the child mainly wanted the pension and the exchange of the letter.
Which letter was replaced? In fact, he knew even if the child didn't make a mess.
There are so many letters here, and probably only that one has a pension.
He thought for a while, why not take a sneak peek? That way he would feel at ease.
He glanced left and right and saw no one passing by. Then he found the letter sent from that place among the small pile of letters.
I opened the letter gently and read the contents. There was no mention of pension at all.
Although, he doesn't know what the other party's purpose is? Anyway, he was relieved that it would no longer be a drag on him.
He stroked the horse, which was just as frightened as himself, for a while.
Then he jumped on the horse again, pulled the reins, drove the horse forward, and continued to deliver the message.
When the horse passed by the big tree that Su Ling had cut in half just now, the messenger took one look at it and felt lingering fear.
Who is that boy?
What kind of family are they? How can we raise such a powerful child at such a young age?
He always felt that there should not be such a powerful family in this small town.
Su Ling returned to Su's house and gave the old lady the money she earned from selling more than 30 pieces of soap.
I heard someone outside the door calling the old lady to go get a letter from the village chief.
Su Ling's eyes flashed.
When the old lady went out to get the letter, she went back to the house, locked the door, and then started calling Li Qingluo.
Hearing Su Ling's cry, Li Qingluo left the space and took her into the nine-story tower.
After entering the nine-story tower, Su Ling handed over the ninety taels of silver she had returned from the robbery to Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo did not take it, but asked Su Ling to keep it by herself.
Su Ling told Li Qingluo everything that happened from leaving the village to returning home. After listening, Li Qingluo nodded:
"Well, that's right. You lowered the price of Su Qiumei's soap. Don't help them sell it anymore."
Su Ling smiled and nodded. The soap was so ugly that she didn't want to sell it, let alone help them sell it.
If you need to spend money and don't have enough money, you can just sell shower gel and soap.
"Take this." Li Qingluo suddenly handed Su Ling an ordinary-looking handkerchief.
"?" Su Ling took the handkerchief and looked at Li Qingluo doubtfully.
"Smell it and see."
Su Ling obediently leaned in and sniffed. As soon as a pungent smell entered her nostrils, her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Mom, what do you want this for?"
Li Qingluo glanced at her leisurely: "Your father will die soon, don't you want to shed a few tears?"
Su Ling was stunned, thinking that when she entered the house, the old lady had been called to the village chief to get the letter, and nodded.
"Mom, you have really thought everything through." She put the veil away with a smile.
Su Qiumei heard that the old lady went to get the letter, and then she remembered that today was the day she received the news of Su Tiecheng's death in battle.
Not long after the old lady went to get the letter, she came to wait for the old lady outside the courtyard gate.
When I saw the old lady who came back with the letter, her expression was frightening.
She hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, fearing that she would not be able to withstand the blow because she did not know what was going on.
In this home, she has not yet successfully bound to the system and has no golden fingers. She cannot do without the old lady at the moment.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is this the third brother's letter? What does it say?"
She couldn't be a prophet, so she pretended not to know.
"Let's go inside and talk." The old lady was much calmer than Su Qiumei expected.
Mrs. Wang, who was drying clothes in the yard, saw the mother and daughter like this. Although she was curious, she didn't dare to go forward and ask. She kept following them with her eyes.
When he saw the old lady and Su Qiumei entering the house, he finished drying the last piece of clothing, and then ran to pat the door of Qian's house without taking away the wooden basin.
Qian was taking advantage of Su Tiezhu and Su Tieniu to go to the fields to work together and locked the door in the house.
Take out the small cloth-wrapped copper plates hidden at the back of the cabinet and count them!
The sudden bang on the door frightened her and her heart almost stopped beating.
"Who is it?" While he was running out of things to say, he gave himself some time.
While moving swiftly, he put away the small cloth bag and hid it in its original place. Trying not to make any noise, he pushed the cabinet to the wall and placed it against the wall.
"Sister-in-law, it's me, what are you doing? Open the door quickly."
Mr. Wang didn't even know that it was broad daylight and Su Tiezhu was not in the house, nor was he sleeping. Why did Mr. Qian lock the door?
"Come here, come here." Qian opened the door: "What happened in such a hurry? Those who don't know would think that you are coming to my place to be reincarnated?"
She secretly cursed Wang in her heart. She came at the wrong time, which made her unable to finish counting the coins she had just received.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? The house is not big, so why does it take you so long to open the door for me?"
As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the house, her eyes were looking everywhere, as if her husband came home unexpectedly and found that something was wrong and was looking for a strange man.
Seeing Wang's behavior, Qian could guess what this woman was thinking right now.
She rolled her eyes and secretly said to Wang: "Dirty stuff."
In the old lady's house.
"Daughter! It's a letter from your third brother." After sitting down, the old lady took out the letter and handed it to Su Qiumei to read.
Su Qiumei opened the letter and read it line by line.
The old lady saw that she was looking at her for a long time and knew that her daughter had never learned to read, so she said to her:
"I asked the village chief, and he said that he asked the messenger to read it to him, saying that the third child was gone."
After reading the letter, Su Qiumei wondered why the letter didn't mention the pension. What about ninety taels? This money is too important to her now.
She looked at the old lady: "Mom, what else did the village chief say?"
"What else can you say? Just tell me not to be too sad."
