Small peasant girl

Chapter 62 The Liu Family Wants Money
Fortunately, there is no rush for spring plowing, there is time.

The male laborers worked in the fields, and the female laborers were not idle at home. For a while, the whole old Su family began to be busy.

In this way, at the end of February, the soil in the field was turned over one after another.

But not in a hurry.

Because the weather is not very warm, had to wait.

The people in the old Su's family were all idle for a while, but all of them were frowning.

Although the family's food is saved, it still doesn't cover the family's dozen mouths.

Now the family has less than ten catties of grain.

"Mother, why don't I, my third brother, my fourth brother and Da Lang go to the town to find some work."

Seeing my mother moaning and sighing all day because of the food, I suggested it when everyone got together after dinner.

"Now it's neither busy farming nor building a house. How can there be work in the town? Besides, our old Su's family is not the only one affected by the disaster. With so many people going to the town, how can it be your turn?"

Pangzi's hair has turned gray recently because of the food issue.

Even talking is sullen.

Hearing what the boss said suddenly, she looked up at him.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's not impossible, it's better than staying at home and waiting to starve to death."

Hearing what Pang said, Su Yunde also frowned.

It is true that many villagers have recently gone to towns and cities to find work, but basically they all return empty-handed.

But thinking that there is only a little food at home, he is also worried.

With a sigh, he glanced at Ponzi.

"Go if you want, go to the house where you used to work, and come back if you can't find it."

Hearing what the boss said, Ponzi thought for a while.

Glancing at the boss, sighing softly, he had no choice but to agree.

The weather is getting warmer, although it is a good time for hunting.

But the warmer the weather, the more rampant the animals in the mountains.

There is a hunter village in the nearby village, where three or two people die every year.

Orion villages are like this, let alone those of them who don't hunt often.

So Ponzi had to let him go.

"Then I will take them to have a look tomorrow."

Hearing that his mother was relieved, Su Yunde heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly complied.

Recently, the Wang family has been very honest, so the whole old Su family has been quite quiet recently.

Mrs. Wang stopped making trouble. After the party was over, Mrs. Pang sent everyone away.

Su Jinxia went back to their second room.

As soon as he entered the house, he took off his shoes and got on the kang.

"Mother, there's no need for so many people to do the work at home, but why don't uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle all be young and strong, so why don't they go to the town to find a job all the time?"

Memory, every year a few male laborers from the old Su family will occasionally go to the town to find work.

But the working time is very short, a few days, at most ten days.

It's not bad to do a month's work in a year.

And the rest of the time is raised at home except for farming. Isn’t this a waste of resources?
Su Jinxia couldn't figure it out, so she asked about Mrs. Liu.

"Well, you should be ignorant of this," Liu-shi paused for a moment with her hands covered with the quilt after hearing Sanya's question, and continued with the work in her hands.

"The work of the rich families in the town is basically done by the servants. Those servants have sold their bodies, so that the rich families can feel at ease, so they rarely hire short-term labor. Those who hire short-term labor are those families. Not up or down, but the work at home is tricky."

"There are not many families in the town, and few people are employed, so it is generally difficult to find work in the town."

While Liu Shi was talking, she also finished making the bed.

Then he hugged Shiro and undressed him.

Su Jinxia didn't respond to Liu Shi's words, but fell into deep thought.

She understood what Liu Shi said.

In modern terms, supply exceeds demand, and there are more people and less work.

No wonder the strong laborers of the old Su family stayed at home all day.

If you don't have a skill, it's strange if you can find a job.

"Hey, Sanya, you can see that the family can't open the pot now, you see..."

Su Jinxia was distracted, Liu tucked Shiro into the bed.

After taking a look at Erya, who was lighting the fire outside, before she came in, Liuya also obediently took off her clothes and entered.

Liu Shi moved her body and approached Su Jinxia.

Pounding her with his hands, he whispered in her ear.

And Su Jinxia saw that Liu Shi was so cautious, so he listened to what she had to say.

She tasted it quickly.

Mrs. Liu wanted her to take out the net money she sold a few days ago for emergency.

"Mom, if you take it out, how should you explain it to grandma?"

The money was in her pocket, so there was no reason to take it out.

Although the old Su family had no food, a good family could still starve to death.

Wang's is like that, so she can't just let Wang's money be so cheap.

So when Liu Shi said that, Su Jinxia was absolutely unwilling.

"Just pick it up on the side of the road, your grandma shouldn't say anything?"

Seeing that her mother was so worried, Liu couldn't bear it and thought that Sanya could get the money out.

Naturally, she had already thought about the reason for the money.

Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to bring it up.

"No, you can't take this money, mother, don't even think about it."

Hearing what her mother said, Su Jinxia stared at Liu Shi with wide eyes.

Somewhat unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, her mother had already thought out Yin Zi's escape route.

But if you don't give it, you won't give it. Su Jinxia didn't even hesitate, shaking her head like a rattle.

"Sanya, what are you whispering to your mother?"

After burning the kang, as soon as I entered the room, I saw my mother and third sister whispering.

Su Jinyue froze for a moment, then asked.

"It's nothing, go to sleep, I'm sleepy."

Seeing her second sister come in, Su Jinxia finally found an excuse to get rid of the Liu family.

He replied to his second sister's words, then crawled away from Mrs. Liu and climbed to his sleeping position.

He cleaned himself up three times, five times and two times, and shivered into bed.

At the end of February, we still had to burn the kang, and even though it was warm, people still froze to death.

Su Jinxia, ​​who got under the covers, said.

"Okay, go to sleep now."

Seeing that no matter what he said, Sanya looked like he was not getting in.

Liu Shi sighed lightly and shook her head.

Glancing at Er Ya, he opened his mouth and said, and then he also planned to sleep.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Jinyue was stunned again.

But he didn't pursue it, so he blew out the oil lamp, and then went to the kang in the dark.

Early the next morning, without breakfast, Su Yunde took Su Yun'an, Su Yunkang, and Da Lang to the town to find work.

Ponzi at home was not idle, so he called everyone to the main room to make netting and embroider.

At this juncture, earning a penny is a penny.

"Mother, the second sister sent a letter a few years ago saying that she was trapped in the north by the wind and snow. Why is there no news at all after the new year?"

There was no food at home, and Mrs. Zhang was also worried.

Years later, her natal family had already delivered food, and it was no longer easy for her to speak to her family.

Besides, even if you open your mouth, the entire old Su family can't afford to support so many people.
