The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Being calculated

 It will be stewed in about one and a half to two hours. When eating, cut the pork belly open. The chicken inside is tender, juicy and delicious.

Pork belly and chicken soup is not only delicious, but also very nutritious. It is particularly effective in nourishing people with weak qi, cold stomach and weak spleen. Of course, it is more suitable for pregnant women.

The fire in the stove was so strong that the soup in the pot kept slurping. The hot steam floated in the air through the lid of the pot, and the aroma was intoxicating. Su Sanlang's little mouth squeaked, and his saliva flowed out.

 A little greedy cat.

Su Ruojin poured soup into a small soup pot and said to Su Sanlang with a smile, "You want to eat it, right?"

"Sister..." Su Sanlang was used to acting coquettishly. He knew there was something to eat as soon as he heard it. He quickly pulled up his calves and hugged his sister who was standing on the stool serving soup, "I want to eat, I want to eat..."

The little guy couldn't hold her tightly and even shook Su Ruojin. She was so frightened that she quickly called Su Dalang, "Brother, pull Gump away quickly. It's very serious if you burn him."

Su Dalang has already come over and gently opened his brother's hands, "Don't worry, Ajin will give you something to eat."

 “I want to eat it now.”

The little guy refused and still clung to Su Ruojin. She had no choice but to pick up a piece of chicken liver, which was soft and easy to bite, and blew it into his mouth. Only then did the naughty child stay away from her happily.

Before Shutong and Dong's mother came back, Su Ruojin would bring a bowl of stewed soup to Cheng Yingzhen, let her have a meal first with fried dough sticks or steamed buns, and also use small bowls for each of the Su brothers. Small bowls for them to try and quench their cravings.

During Cheng Yingzhen's confinement, not only did she look rosy, but the two brothers from the Su family were also much whiter and tenderer.

In the master bedroom of the Su family, the fire was burning brightly, and the room was as warm as spring.

Cheng Yingzhen and her two sons had a snack together. Su Ruojin sat by the bed and played with her little brother, and her mother and two were enjoying themselves.

It was almost noon. Su Ruojin packed up the dishes and chopsticks she had just added to the meal and went out of the bedroom to the kitchen. She heard the noise outside the door coming from far away, as if she was at the door of her house. She quickly put the dishes and chopsticks on the kitchen table. , wiped the handle, put on his hat and went to open the courtyard door.

Once the door opened, the alley was not wide, and the crowd was separated by mule carts. Shutong pulled the mule rope in a hurry, "Don't pull my cart, can you let us in first..."

Mama Dong also said, "Master, we are coming to the house. Please let them give way while we go in. You can do whatever you want."

Shu Tong and Dong's mother were really unlucky. The cart they pulled back was pulled by the tribesmen Su Ruojin saw. They wanted to go around the cart to catch the mother and daughter at the other end of the cart.

 The mother and daughter held on tightly to the cart to prevent them from turning around.

The two parties are fighting for control. If it weren't for the patrolmen from the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, the mother and daughter would have been able to fight with each other's tribesmen.

“Master Guan...please save us two...please...”

In just one hour, the mother and daughter were found by the tribesmen at some unknown place. Their clothes were torn and dirty, as if they were victims of a disaster.

The patrol officer said: "It is only natural that you owe money and pay back your debts. We can't save you."

"Master Guan, we don't owe them any money at all. They just wanted to sell us into a brothel and made up nonsense. Master Guan, please make the decision for me, mother and son."

The woman fell to her knees on the ground and kowtowed. She was so pitiful and miserable that the women watching in the alley shed tears.

The patrol officer was very indifferent: "We are all from the same clan. We can discuss everything when we go home. Don't argue here. If you don't leave, I will arrest you all."

Several tribesmen were secretly happy when they heard that the patrolmen were coming towards them, and thought to themselves that the few cents of money they had just stuffed were not in vain, and they looked like good citizens, "The official is laughing at me, it's just the common people who are not able to discipline the tribesmen, and the common people will immediately punish them." They take it away.”

The patrol officer looked impatient: "If you don't get out of the capital, I will arrest you all." After saying this, he raised his hand and forced everyone to make way. Seeing that the patrol officer had left and there was no hope for the mother and daughter to escape, the woman's face was ashen. In her eyes, the tribesmen were as excited as cannibals. They bared their teeth and claws and rushed towards the mother and son.

 “For God's sake!”

Hearing a scream, the woman turned around and hit the wall of Su's courtyard.

　　Bang! Blood splashed instantly.

 For a moment, time seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all the sounds around him disappeared.

 Everyone was shocked.

Suddenly, a heartbreaking voice shouted: "Mother...mother..."

No, before Su Ruojin had time to call Shu Tongshu, the little lady also hit the wall and was covered in blood in an instant.

 Everyone:…

Those tribesmen:…

 The patrolman turned around:…

People have already lost their lives, so we have to take care of it now.

Su Ruojin stood at the door of her courtyard and saw the face of a society where people cannibalize people. It was really dark.

 The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond.

Su Ruojin was just thinking about why these people didn't ask the doctor to save them. The patrolman of the Military and Horse Department didn't care about the life and death of the people. He actually had the mother and daughter carried away. Not only did the Su family, who was innocently implicated, not get a word, but the mule cart , Shu Tongshu and his uncle were all taken away as evidence by people from the Military and Horse Division.

  In the ancient yamen process, everything could be swept away in a three-foot wave. Uncle Shutong was afraid that he would be called for questioning by the yamen people every now and then, so how could he do business with others?

A chill swept over Su Ruojin, and she suddenly seemed to understand. Killing three birds with one stone, the Su family was being plotted against!

 In the cold wind, Su Ruojin stood at the door and kept looking at the entrance of the alley.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and only a few neighbors stood by the wall and said to Dong's mother, "Hurry up and rinse it with hot water." Seeing that the Chinese New Year will be over in more than a month, it is really terrible to encounter such a thing. of.

Mother Dong thanked her neighbors for their concern and wiped away her tears. What was this? It was obviously other people's business, but they were the ones who suffered the loss in the end.

"Second Lady..." The north wind blew, and Mother Dong shielded the little master from the wind. She called a few times, but the little master didn't move, as if he was frozen. Her heart ached, "Second Lady, let's I didn't commit any crime, I was just called by the Yamen for questioning. It doesn't matter, really...it doesn't matter..."

The noise at the door had already alerted the people inside. Su Dalang was sent by Cheng Yingzhen to see what was going on. Seeing that his daughter had not returned to the house, he couldn't help opening the curtain door and came out, "Ajin...Ajin..."

Standing at the door, Su Ruojin wished she could transform into Superman and fly out of the alley, kicking those bad guys out of the earth one by one. These insidious villains, just wait for me.

Su Ruojin was fuming with anger while quickly analyzing the breakfast business for more than a month. Who did she offend?

 Mr. Xu who didn't get the skills? Or is it a small vendor selling breakfast in the West Bridge Lane area? Or didn't you seek out connections and didn't pay enough benefits to the patrol officers and certain people in the city department?

　　It is so difficult for an eighth-grade official in the capital to do business, but what about the ordinary people at the lower level? Why is it so difficult to live a life of adequate food and clothing? Suddenly, Su Ruojin was extremely depressed.
