Chapter 7 Eight Legs, 666

Su Wan and Qin took Su Qian and Su Zhe back to the original house, brought their bedding and clothes, and moved to the woodshed in the backyard together.

Su Laifu heard Su Wan tell the whole story of the matter and future plans, just silent for a while, then patted Su Wan's hand, smiled with tears in his eyes: "Wan Wan, you can do whatever you want, dad will always stand on the sidelines." On your side, Dad only hates himself for not living up to his expectations and dragging your mothers down."

Seeing Su Laifu like this, Su Wan's nose felt a little sore. She didn't expect him to agree so happily, and she must have seen the true face of those so-called relatives already.

"Father, don't worry, I will not only let our family live a good life, but I will also make your body recover gradually." Su Wan looked at Su Laifu and said firmly.

"Okay, dad is waiting." Su Laifu nodded heavily, without the slightest doubt in his heart.

In the front yard, Mrs. Wang was afraid that Su Wan would repent, so she hurriedly asked Su Laiwang to invite the village chief Liu Dazhu to be a witness, wrote a written statement, and took it to the back yard for Su Laifu to press his fingerprints.

Village head Liu Dazhu looked at their family of five huddled in this drafty firewood house, and felt a little sore in his heart. He wanted to persuade him a few words, but after all, this was the old Su's own family business, and they had already discussed it. It's hard for him as an outsider to say anything.

In the end, I told Su Wan to ask her to go to him if she had any difficulties, then she shook her head and left with a sigh.

Su Wan silently remembered Liu Dazhu's words in her heart. She has always been able to distinguish who is good to her and who is bad to her. Although it is just a sentence, she still remembers his kindness.

The family is divided, so the first problem to be solved is the problem of food. After all, the Wang family did not give them a grain of food.

Su Wan didn't sleep much all night, and got up quietly early the next morning, carrying a small basket on her back, and planned to go out to see if she could find something to eat.

When she came to the front yard, she just opened the door when she heard a soft call from behind: "Elder Sister."

Su Wan looked back and saw Su Qian and Su Zhe standing behind her and looking at her eagerly.

"Why are you up too?" Su Wan asked with a smile.

"Sister, are you going out to find something to eat?" Su Qian looked at the pannier on Su Wan's back and asked in a low voice.

"Well, I'll go out for a walk, you guys can go back to sleep for a while." Su Wan nodded, looking at the siblings with some distress. She knew that they must not have slept well in the environment like the woodshed.

"We're going with Eldest Sister." Su Zhe said, blinking his big eyes.

"Yes, Miss Zai, we want to support the family with you, let's work hard together." Su Qian held Su Zhe's little hand tightly, and said with firm eyes.

"Well, let's go together." Su Zhe also nodded heavily.

Su Wan looked at the two little people standing there hand in hand, with straight backs and firm eyes, and felt a warmth in her heart. No matter how cruel the reality was, her closest relatives were with her unconditionally. If you trust and support her, then she has no reason to back down.

"Okay." Su Wan nodded heavily, and took Su Qian and Su Zhe out of the house together.

Su Wan plans to go to the mountain to try her luck first. Although it is approaching the autumn harvest time, every family has almost enough food, and most of them will go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but they will only dig at the foot of the mountain, and there are very few people. Dare to go deep into the mountains.

The memory of Su Wan's original owner told her that there were wild beasts in the deep mountains, and there had been incidents of wild beasts eating people. Therefore, this mountain outside Hexi Village has almost become a forbidden mountain, and few people dare to go inside.

However, it is precisely because of this that Su Wan feels that there are few people in the deep mountains. In addition to wild vegetables, there must be some mountain herbs. If the hall is sold, it can still earn some money. After all, the five members of the family cannot live on wild vegetables all the time. The most important thing is to find a way to make money.

If she wanted to go up the mountain, she would pass by the river at the entrance of the village. Su Wan walked by the river, saw that the river was relatively calm, and suddenly had an idea, turned her head to look at Su Qian and asked, "Qianqian, are there any fish in this river?"

Su Qian shook her head with a bitter face and said: "Sister, it's not like you don't know that even if there are fish in this river, they have already been caught by people. How can it be our turn?"

"Oh, that's right." Su Wan sighed, but she still didn't give up and turned over a stone by the river.

She looked carefully, but there were no big fish, but there were two small fry about an inch long. Small is better than nothing. Su Wan put the basket on the rocks on the shore, rolled up her sleeves and started catching fish.

Her thinking is very simple, going up the mountain now is a waste of time, if she can catch some fish back, she will cook some fish soup for her parents and younger siblings first, weigh her belly first, and then she will go up the mountain again.

Su Wan slowly stretched out her hand into the water, then slowly gathered it together, suddenly closed it, and then let go of her hand into the back basket, a small fish turned its belly and jumped around in it.

"Wow, big sister is amazing, we have fish to eat." Su Zhe jumped up happily when he saw it, his yellow and thin face was full of excitement.

Su Wan saw his nose sore, her heart was full of distress, and she became more determined to let them live a good life.

Seeing that Su Wan had caught a fish, Su Qian followed her example and turned over the stones in the river. The two sisters worked hard for a long time before catching seven or eight small fish, which were not enough for two bites.

Su Wan couldn't help feeling a little worried, wondering if she should not waste time here, and hurry up to dig some wild vegetables and cook some soup with these fish.

"Ah." Su Qian yelled suddenly, startled Su Wan, and quickly turned her head to look.

"Qianqian, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, big sister, there are eight legs under this stone, which startled me." Su Qian replied, reaching out and patting her chest.

"Eight legs? What?" Su Wan frowned, walked to Su Qian's side, and looked down.

It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, I almost jumped up when I saw it.

What kind of eight legs are these? It's clearly a river crab, which is as big as a child's palm.

Without even thinking about it, Su Wan stretched out her hand to grab it. This is a good thing, and this season is the time to be fat.

"Sister, what are you doing? Throw it away!" Seeing Su Wan holding the crab in her hand, Su Qian's face turned pale with fright, and she wanted to reach out to knock the crab off, but she didn't dare.

"Why?" Su Wan looked at Su Qian with some puzzlement.

"Big sister, the eight legs are poisonous and cannot be eaten, and it hurts to be pinched by it. Let go." Su Wan was about to cry in fright, she was terrified just by looking at its appearance, let alone eat it.

Su Wan laughed "puchi": "Who told you not to eat it? Let me tell you it's a good thing, it tastes great."

"How could it be? The people in the village didn't dare to eat it, and they all hid away when they saw it. Otherwise, how could there be so few fish in this river, but so much of this thing? Isn't it..."

"What? You said there's a lot in the river?" Su Wan grabbed her arm excitedly before Su Qian finished speaking.

"Yes, there are many." Su Qian nodded in a daze.

"Great, we got rich." Su Wan couldn't help it anymore, and really jumped up.
