Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Chapter 531: Countryside Woman 5

Su Tong put the things that Mrs. Su brought into the cabinet, but just as he put them away, the door was opened. Mrs. Zhao walked in and looked around. When she didn't see what she wanted, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face. She thought she had concealed it well, but Su Tong could see it all.

"Oh, you are such a fool. Your mother finally came to see you, but you didn't even bother to invite her to have a meal here." Mrs. Zhao saw that she didn't get any benefit, so she was naturally unwilling to leave like this. "I even specially asked your sister-in-law to cook more food, but it's a pity that your mother didn't enjoy it."

When Su Tong heard this, he was so angry that his eyes almost rolled up to the sky. He thought about how when his eldest sister-in-law gave birth to his first child, her mother-in-law came to visit her daughter specially, but Mrs. Zhao didn't even provide her with a meal. Later, when she gave birth to a girl alone, she gave the mother-in-law the cold shoulder.

If my own mother left some food here, although I could eat it, it would probably just be a bowl of thin porridge with clear soup.

You asked about the crucian carp and the piece of pork that Madam Su brought. Oh, Mrs. Zhao was reluctant to give them to them. She would only leave them for her precious sons or keep them for herself.

Su Tong: "Thanks to the old lady for her hard work, but my mother had something else to do at home, so she left early."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Su Tong again, and when she found out that her daughter-in-law really had no intention of giving her anything, her face immediately fell, and she left the room reluctantly, snorting coldly before leaving.

Su Tong: (ー_ー)!!

It seems that it is imperative to add another lock to the door.

After Mrs. Zhao left, she was still unwilling to give up. The old woman of the Su family must have brought something for her daughter-in-law, but what exactly did she bring? It should be silver, which is small and invisible. The damn third daughter-in-law doesn't know how to be filial to her mother-in-law. When the third son comes back, I have to complain about it.

Su Tong had an urge to kill the old couple. There happened to be a kind of grass called Heartbreak Grass on the mountain. It looked no different from ordinary grass, but once you were contaminated by it, you would be heartbroken.

Su Tong really wanted to send the old couple away. He didn't want to live through this damn life even for a single day. If all else failed, he could just mix some arsenic or some King of Poisons into their food and send them all away. But after doing that, he was afraid that the mission would not be as successful as before.

Su Tong is not a murderer. As long as he can still make a living, it is impossible for him to kill people casually.

People should have awe for nature and life. Although Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Zhao are definitely not good people, I can still suppress them for now, so I have to put the killing aside for now.

After a few more days, the weather gradually turned cooler. The two sisters-in-law had nothing better to do, so they harvested the vegetables from the field. Then they planted the vegetables that Dongshang often ate. At the same time, they harvested a batch of cabbage and radishes to pickle them.

Pickles are indispensable for farmers to survive the winter, so when pickling the pickles, Mrs. Zhao cursed a lot, mainly because it takes too much salt, and salt is so expensive nowadays. Mrs. Zhao really couldn't bear to do it. Even if she bought the cheapest sea salt, it made her heart ache.

Although Shutongshuan was not in good health, he was still called out by Mrs. Zhao to do some small chores, mainly helping to clean up the vegetables. Most of the work was done by her two sisters-in-law.

The most common thing in the village is wasteland fraud. There are several plots of land dedicated to growing vegetables, which are planted with carrots, potatoes, and even a few pumpkins in front of and behind the houses.

Don't underestimate it. If these vegetable plots are grown well, the family won't have to buy vegetables all year round. The key is that planting a few pumpkins can provide the family with several meals.

It is the slack season during the farming season and there is no income at home. Mrs. Zhao is now counting the grains of rice as she puts them into the pot every day. If there were not some farm work to do at home, Mrs. Zhao would have driven her sons out to find work long ago.

Other people in the village brought back good news. It turned out that their man was spotted by a wealthy family in the town and was helping them with some carpentry work. It would probably take a while for him to come back.

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips and said, "That damn third son, he didn't even bring back some money when he asked someone to bring back a message. Our family is in great need of money right now."

Su Tong ignored the other party and stayed in her own little nest every day doing embroidery. It happened that the market was about to start in a while. In their place, the market was held every fifth day. Most people in the village would walk or take a horse-drawn carriage to the town to buy things.

Winter was about to come, so Mrs. Zhao naturally had to go to the town. Thinking that she would have to pay to ride in someone else's carriage, she asked her second son to drive out their own cows, harness the carriage, and prepare to go to the town to purchase things tomorrow.

Su Tong naturally had to go as well. First, he sold the handkerchiefs he had made. Then he wanted to go to the town to check the prices so that he could buy some special things for childbirth.

"Mother-in-law, I want to go tomorrow too." Su Tong held her belly. "It's a good time to go see the doctor. Even if I don't come back with medicine, I have to see how the baby is. This is the future support for our third room."

Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to refuse, but when she looked at Su Tong's belly, she swallowed the words of refusal.

"Okay, go if you want, but I have to be frank with you, you have to pay for the doctor's visit."

Mrs. Zhao would never spend a penny on her daughter-in-law's medical treatment. If anything happened to her daughter-in-law, she would just die. She could then find a new wife for her son. Anyway, women are the least valuable in this world.

The corner of Su Tong's mouth twitched. He returned to his room and suddenly thought of the character of the Zhao family. He quickly put the valuables in the room into his own space, put the other things in a box, and then locked it with a big lock. Unless this family was shameless and broke his lock, the box could not be opened easily.

When Su Tong went out the next day, he made some small marks in the room, indicating that not only he was going to the town, but his elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law were also going there.

The mother-in-law kept cursing, but after the slack season, all the women in the village would go to the town, and my sister-in-law had an excuse to go, as it was a good opportunity to sell the soles and laces she had made.

The family had previously agreed that the money earned by men would be divided into 70% and 30% respectively, and the money earned by women would be divided into 50% and 50% respectively. After my sister-in-law sold the things she made, she had to hand over at least 50% of the money.

For the sake of money, Mrs. Zhao did not argue with her daughter-in-law and let her go with them. As for her own daughter wanting to go to the town... Mrs. Zhao was especially generous and gave her daughter 10 copper coins so that she could buy some cakes.

It was autumn now and the weather was getting colder day by day. Su Tong wore a thick grey cotton jacket, wrapped himself tightly, and sat in the carriage without moving at all.

Mrs. Zhao wanted her daughter-in-law to get down and walk by herself, but when she saw her huge belly, she could only swallow her words.

Their village was quite far from the town, and it took an hour just to get there by carriage. After finally arriving, they separated at the city gate and agreed to meet there two hours later.
