Chapter 967 The Prosperity of Ancient Farmers 2
Su Zhenghe lay in bed all day.
It costs money to see a doctor, and it also costs money to get medicine.
Liu Xia borrowed money everywhere. Now that Su Zhenghe's leg has not recovered, the Su family is already heavily in debt.
The daughters of the Su family have been very sensible since childhood. After something happened at home, Su Mei was older and worked in the fields with Liu Xia all day long.
Because Su Mei was only ten years old, she couldn't help with the farm work, so she took care of Su Zhenghe and her younger siblings at home, occasionally carrying a basket to the back mountains to pick wild vegetables.
The Chen family is the only ten-thousand-yuan household in the village, and the Chen family also has a daughter who works as the aunt of the county magistrate, which has caused the Chen family's status in the village to rise even more.
The Chen family has always been unruly and domineering in the village. This time, after they learned that Su Zhenghe had injured his leg, they actually sent a servant to bring ten taels of silver, saying that they would lend it to the Su family in case of emergency.
This move of the Chen family was really strange, but at that time Liu Xia was desperate and needed the money urgently, so she wrote an IOU and borrowed the money.
Unexpectedly, within three days, the Chen family would send someone to ask for money.
Furthermore, he more than doubled the price of the silver and demanded that Liu Xia pay back thirty taels of silver to them!
He also said that if he didn't pay it back, he would take Su Mei and Su Tao as concubines.
At this time, Liu Xia understood the Chen family's intention of lending them money. This was not to provide help in times of trouble, but to add fuel to the fire.
Liu Xia went to find the village chief, but the Chen family was like a local emperor in the village. Even if everyone knew that this matter was a trap set by the Chen family for the Su family, even the village chief did not dare to take care of it. matter.
Liu Xia worked hard to prevent the Chen family from taking away Su Mei and Su Tao.
However, the Chen family demanded that Liu Xia return thirty taels of silver to them within ten days, otherwise they would take Su Mei and Su Tao and sell them to a brothel.
When Xia Yichu crossed over, it was already too late.
Liu Xia has already taken money from the Chen family, and yesterday, people from the Chen family came to her door.
Xia Yichu lay on the bed and sighed.
Su Tao's wish this time is for her to help the Su family tide over the difficulties and make a fortune so that the Su family can live a good life.
But, that's not right.
"System, why didn't I see the final outcome of the Su family?" Xia Yichu only belatedly remembered at this moment that there was nothing about what happened next in the memory left by the original owner.
In those worlds in the past, didn’t they all end in the tragic death of the original owner?
"Because Su Tao committed suicide. Just tonight, during the time period you just traveled through, she drank pesticide. Then she directly contacted our company headquarters." The 233 system seemed to hesitate for a while before answering Xia Yichu With.
Does this kind of operation still exist?
No wonder she didn't have any information about Su Tao's death. It turned out that he was hidden by the company where the system was located.
Knowing that the system would not let her know about the system company, Xia Yichu took the initiative to change the topic: "What about the ending of the Su family after Su Tao dies?"
"Wait a minute, I'll dig it out for you." The system said, as if searching its cloud disk.
Then, after a while, some more pictures appeared in Xia Yichu's head.
That was after Su Tao took the poison and died, and was discovered by Liu Xia the next day.
The Su family cried so hard that for several days, the Su family was filled with dark clouds.
Until the night before the debts of the Chen family were to be paid off, a fire broke out in the Su family, and the Su family was burned to the ground. Not only was the house burned down, not even a single person inside came out.
When people from the village came to see him the next day, they saw a pile of black bones on a bed.
The fire was set by Liu Xia. The family lay on the same bed and left this world with despair and relief.
A deep feeling of heaviness rose from the bottom of Xia Yichu's heart, and it took a while before she suppressed it.
Xia Yichu turned over on the bed and closed his eyes for a while before falling asleep.
The next day, when the genius had just turned white, Xia Yichu was awakened by the noise next to him.
Liu Xia, who was sleeping next to her, had disappeared. Xia Yichu stretched out her hand to the side in a daze. The bed was cold, and she didn't know when Liu Xia left.
Su Mei was putting on clothes on the other side of the bed. She moved quickly and got dressed in a few clicks. After noticing Xia Yichu's movements, Su Mei bent down to put on her shoes and said to Xia Yichu: "A Tao, what are you doing? Are you coming to sleep in our bed? But you can sleep a little longer, it's not yet dawn."
"No, I'm going to see my younger brothers and sisters." Xia Yichu suppressed his sleepiness, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking at the white sky outside the window, thinking about the Su family's current predicament, and sighed in his heart.
When Xia Yichu passed by, Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao were sleeping soundly. They didn't even realize that the second sister who slept in the same bed with them had left last night.
Xia Yichu did not wake the two of them up. After covering them with quilts, he withdrew.
Smoke rose from the small kitchen, where Liu Xia was making breakfast for everyone.
Su Mei carried a basin of water to Su Zhenghe's room, helped him wash his face, and changed the dressing on his feet.
The Su family's breakfast is very simple, a pot of gnocchi without a trace of oily smell, just a little bit of salt spray and wild vegetables floating on the clear soup.
This is something that a wealthy family cannot swallow, but the Su family enjoys it.
The portion of gnocchi is not much, only one bowl per person.
Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao were probably hungry, so they ate quickly with their bowls in hand. Then they slowed down again after watching the noodles in the bowls decrease rapidly.
Xia Yichu took advantage of Liu Xia to go out and put some of the remaining noodles in his bowl into the bowls of Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao.
After breakfast, Liu Xia and Su Mei went to work in the next village. Now is the rice harvesting season. If someone’s family grows a lot of rice, they will pay some people to help them. They will pay six cents a day and take care of lunch.
After Xia Yichu washed the dishes, he took the bowl of warm medicine on the kang and went to Su Zhenghe's room.
It has been several days since Su Zhenghe was carried back. Because his legs were not healed yet, he stayed in the room and never went out.
There was a strong smell of herbs in the room, and Xia Yichu walked in with the medicine in hand.
"Dad, take the medicine." Xia Yichu said, bringing the medicine in front of Su Zhenghe and looking at the man carefully.
Su Zhenghe is only in his thirties now, but due to various pressures, he looks like a man in his forties or fifties.
Especially because of the incident where he fell on his leg, he was depressed, his face was sallow and thin, his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, and he looked more like an old man.
"A Tao, good boy, it was my useless father who harmed you." Su Zhenghe did not take the medicine. Instead, he raised his head and touched Xia Yichu's head. There was pain and guilt in his eyes.
After experiencing so many worlds, Xia Yichu could directly feel Su Zhenghe's guilt and self-blame for her.
Although Su Zhenghe's emotions were towards the original owner Su Tao, Xia Yichu had already thought of herself as Su Tao the moment she entered the original owner's body.
A warm current flashed through Xia Yichu's heart. She raised her head and looked at Su Zhenghe with piercing eyes: "Dad, what are you talking about? If there was no dad, there would be no us. Daddy, please drink the medicine quickly. After drinking it, your body will feel better."
The little girl stood upright, and the determined light in her almond-shaped eyes on her thin face shocked Su Zhenghe slightly.
It was obviously a child's talk, but at this moment, Su Zhenghe couldn't help but believe her words.
"Okay, daddy, take medicine."
Su Zhenghe responded, reached out and took the medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Not sure if it was his imagination, but Su Zhenghe seemed to feel that today's medicine had a faint sweetness. After drinking it, there seemed to be a faint warmth flowing through his legs.
