Chapter 21 The Su family is targeted

Looking at a table full of money, the Su family stopped breathing.

The money is from selling soybean sprouts and pea tips, which works out to four taels.

In just twenty days, he earned four taels of silver. Not to mention Su Youmin, even Su Dahe was shocked.

No wonder businessmen make huge profits, it’s all money!

Su Youmin counted out three taels of copper coins and gave them to Mrs. Su to buy new year's goods. He also gave Su Dahai and Su Dajiang ten coins each.

Su Dahai was at a loss, "Dad..."

This was the first time he had seen so much money since he could remember.

"You are now a father. You can take it as long as you want. It's up to you to spend it as you want."

Su Youmin was very helpless.

In the past, my family was poor, sick and disabled, and I wanted to break a copper into two flowers.

Now that he finally has a surplus, he will not treat him unfairly.

What's more, this family will depend on them sooner or later.

Instead of waiting for them to stand up after you fall, it is better to let go now.

Su Dahai and Su Dajiang carefully took the money, as if what they had in their hands was not ten cents, but some rare treasure.

"Third brother, I'll leave this father alone for you. If you need him in the future, you can come to him." Su Youmin said gently.

Su Dahe hasn't gotten married yet, so there's no use giving him the money.

Su Dahe nodded calmly, "Father can make the decision."

After putting the remaining money back into the jar, Su Youmin asked Su Dahai to borrow an oxcart from Uncle Aniu's house.

While it was still early, Su Youmin, Mrs. Su, Su Dahai and Su Dajiang drove the bullock cart to the town to buy new year's goods.

As soon as they arrived in town, the family went straight to the largest rice shop.

A catty of rice cost twelve cents, and Mrs. Su gritted her teeth and asked for thirty catties.

Three hundred kilograms of millet, salt, and brown sugar are commonly eaten at home...

Just these few items, the two taels of silver are almost spent.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Su took a few more pieces of candy.

There are many children at home, so I can give them sweet treats.

As for the cakes placed next to them, Mrs. Su didn't even look at them.

It's good that the Su family can barely eat half full, but they really don't have any spare money to buy any cakes.

After loading their belongings into the car, the family drove the loaded ox cart back to the village.

The wheels drove through the snow, leaving deep traces.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of having food, and no one noticed that one person was watching the leaving oxcart from a distance.

After returning home and moving everything to the kitchen, Su Dajiang couldn't wait to walk into the house.

Song Yun just finished feeding Su Zhaozhao and just put down his clothes when Su Dahai opened the door and entered.

Before she could say anything, Su Dahai handed over a wooden hairpin carved with peach blossoms.

"Yun Niang, I just bought this in town."

Su Dahai spoke softer and quieter, his face turning red to the base of his ears.

After being shocked, Song Yun's face was full of surprise, and he didn't even know how to let go of his hands.

Seeing that Song Yun didn't respond for a long time, Su Dahai quickly put the hairpin into her hand, turned around and left without even daring to look at it.

Song Yun held the hairpin and blushed so hard that he could bleed.

Su Zhaozhao smiled like an aunt.

[Dad, mom and dad are so sweet...ahhhhhh...they kill me...]

Sure enough, you have to watch other people talk about love!
  So sweet!
  Song Yun's face turned even redder and he didn't dare to raise his head.

During dinner, Song Yun carried Su Zhaozhao to the main room.

Su Dahai saw the mahogany hairpin on her head at a glance. Her whole body felt as sweet as being soaked in honey water.

After Mrs. Su accidentally saw it, she quickly looked away.

When she turned around and saw Mrs. Zhang, who was also wearing a new hairpin, and Su Dajiang, who looked stupid, Mrs. Su had a heart attack on the spot.

These two stupid sons are still acting like newlyweds at their age!
  I simply couldn’t see it!

Early next morning. Mrs. Su was holding Su Zhaozhao and warming herself by the fire in the hall, when Su Youmin's urgent voice suddenly came from the yard.

"Boss, second brother, come out quickly!"

This was followed by the sound of messy footsteps, and after a while, the door of the main room was pushed open.

Su Youmin, Su Dahai and Su Dajiang walked in with gloomy faces.

"What happened?" Mrs. Su looked curious.

Su Dajiang organized his speech and said: "Just now, dad found a row of footprints outside our yard, and the snow on the wall was also removed."

"You mean someone broke into our yard last night?" Mrs. Su exclaimed.

Su Dajiang nodded.

You know, the Su family brought back so many things with great fanfare yesterday, it's not surprising that some people are jealous.

Mrs. Su's face turned pale and she said in panic: "Check the house quickly, don't let it be stolen!"

Especially the meat and food in the kitchen, that is the life of the Su family!
  "Mom, don't worry. The man just entered the yard last night. There were no footprints elsewhere. He probably didn't steal anything." Su Dajiang hurriedly comforted him.

When Mrs. Su heard this, not only was she not relieved, but she became even more nervous.

"I didn't steal anything last night, so tonight..."

Su Dajiang thought for a moment, "He should have come to visit last night, and he will probably come in the next few nights."

Mrs. Su suddenly panicked, "What should I do?"

Su Dajiang looked calm, "Starting tonight, my eldest brother and I will take turns keeping vigil, one in the morning and one in the evening. If anyone comes, wake everyone up immediately."

"I agree with what the second brother said." Su Dahai said quickly.

Su Youmin pondered for a moment, "Then just do what the second brother said."

During breakfast, Su Youmin told Song Yun and Zhang about this, and both of them were shocked.

Su Zhaozhao wrinkled his little face, is this in the book?

But she was not sent away, which was different from the book. Now it is normal to have other plots.

After the meal, Su Dajiang put the animal trap he used for hunting in the corner.

No matter who it is, as long as you dare to come, don't even think about leaving.

The first night, everything was business as usual.

But no one dares to let down their guard.

The next night, everything was business as usual.

Everyone began to feel relieved.

The third night was a peaceful night.

Su Youmin began to wonder if he was suspicious.

Night four.

In the main room, Su Dahai yawned.

Just when his eyes were about to close, he heard a tiny scream in his ears.

Su Dahai hurriedly came to the yard. After seeing the blood stains in the corner under the moonlight, he quickly woke up the others.

In the past few nights, all the adult men in the Su family, except Su Dahe, had not taken off their clothes to sleep. They came out immediately when they heard Su Dahai's voice.

Su Dahai pulled Su Dajiang to the corner, "Second brother, look!"

Su Dajiang touched the blood and felt that it was still warm, and said quickly: "He is injured and can't run far. Let's chase him quickly!"

After speaking, he picked up the wooden stick in the corner and chased outside, followed closely by the others.

Su Dajiang followed the blood stains and soon saw someone dragging his feet.

"stop!"

In the darkness, the man quickly speeded up after hearing Su Dajiang's voice.

Su Dajiang ran over quickly and kicked him to the ground.

"Ah... don't kill me!" the man shouted, covering his face.

Su Dajiang forcefully opened his arm and was shocked when he saw his face.

"It's you!"
