C6 Chapter Vi and the Fishing Pool for Jealousy
"I will send you the money you requested at the end of the month. If you delay our work and you are unable to pay us back the silver and food, then please take some responsibility." Su Cheng Xi put down the shovel and hoe, and pulled Rong Xiu behind him to protect her.
Old Lady Wang was terrified. She had never seen her eldest son act so viciously. He was usually so taciturn, but now that he had returned, his appearance was completely different.
"Mom, come over quickly." Guifen saw that it was empty and drilled into the tent. The top of the tent was covered with cloth, and there was not a single fold on it. It was obvious that it was new.
In front of her husband, Rong Xiu didn't think too highly of her. With a fire in her heart, she calmly put herself in front of him and said, "Don't think of doing anything bad."
"Mom, it's been a long time since I've worn a new set of clothes. With such a good pace, we can make a set of clothes, so think of a way." Guifen whispered into her mother's ear.
"I say, child! Logically speaking, mother shouldn't have said you, but you're the one who's in the wrong right now. Since you've already left, how can you bring the things from our place?"
Rong Xiu stood up, and couldn't hold back anymore as she asked, "Don't talk nonsense, this is your family's stuff, I've collected all the trash, and your darling daughter has seen it all. Don't let this guy frame you." If it was his own physique, he really wanted to use all his military skills to train with Lady Wang. Teach her how to be a person.
"I... I didn't see it, just in case you accidentally walked away. " Guifen swallowed the last of the candied fruits with a provocative smile.
Su Cheng Xi stared at Gui Fen with an expressionless face. "Think before answering. Otherwise, I'll send you to the yamen and have them ask you."
Guifen was so frightened that she did not dare to make a sound. She shrunk her neck like a little chicken that had been lifted up.
"Forget it, just take it as if you didn't take it from home. You just came back with some silver coins, so you should share it with your mother." Your second brother often gives the family some food and clothing. " Old Lady Wang felt guilty. With just a single glance, she could tell if this item belonged to someone at home or not.
"Really?" Su Cheng Xi's eyelids drooped down slightly. He asked coldly, "I was in a hurry to take the exam for two years and sent some silver to my family. Mother has calculated it, so I remember clearly that in these two years, you never mentioned that I had a daughter-in-law. It seems that all of this money is in your hands."
Old Lady Wang was at a loss as to how to respond. He just sat down on the ground and wailed with sorrow, "I just want a piece of cloth from you and yet you have a relationship with your mother. Oh god, this unfilial son."
Su Cheng Xi frowned. It wasn't that he didn't have a way out, but because he was his mother, there were some things that weren't easy to deal with.
The air was filled with the smell of smoke.
Rong Xiu had seen it all. He took a step forward and placed his arm in front of them. Then, he slowly stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeves.
"My husband bought the account, and I'm afraid you can't take it away. Right now, all the things I wanted to marry you have been taken away by you, and only this one is left. This land can't be considered to be ours, it was bought by the two of us. Rong Xiu pulled the silver bracelet on her bowl, which was carved with hundreds of patterns. At first glance, she looked like she had spent a lot of effort to make this.
Old Lady Wang was just about to stretch out her hand and meet Rong's embroidered eyes. Those eyes were as if they were filled with water and incomparably clear. When they stared at her, they felt their hair standing on end, causing them to feel incomparable fear. It was completely different from the previous bullying.
"Hmph …" Old Lady Wang was stunned. Her hands trembled as she snatched away the silver bracelet. Then, she pulled Guifen along and ran. This silver bracelet was worth a lot more than that piece of cloth.
"Actually, you don't have to do this." The guilt in Su Cheng Xi's heart grew even heavier. He sighed sorrowfully: "In the end, this is still something you married."
"So what?" Rong Xiu shrugged her shoulders, her eyes nonchalant. "We'll live a good life in the future, and buy other things once we earn money." Furthermore, this is the only thing on my body that Granny has always cared about. Right now, she has already seized everything she wanted, so we can live a peaceful life. "
"I …" Rong Xiu wanted to say something to comfort him, but Cheng Xi had his arms wrapped around his chest. His arms were warm. As the two of them looked at each other, Rong Xiu slapped her forehead and immediately pushed the man away in shock. "Husband, I suddenly have an ingenious plan …"
Su Cheng Xi was pushed far away. He looked at his wife in shock and asked in a daze: "What is it?"
"I just thought of it by chance. There's a river at the side of our courtyard, so we might as well dig a pond here and draw in some fresh water. Not only is the scenery more beautiful. "In the future, when these fishes grow up, we can exchange them for silver." Rong Xiu was amazed, her eyes were filled with starlight.
"When I hugged you, you were actually thinking about such a thing?" Su Chengxi frowned, his face filled with dissatisfaction.
Rong Xiu didn't understand what her husband meant, she turned her head and said in a daze: "Is it because my method isn't good?" Is there anything wrong with that? "
Su Cheng Xi sighed as he approached Rong Xiu step by step. Her back was already pressed against the tree. As the sun set, his face turned a deep shade of red. Her skin was so tender that it looked like it was about to be squeezed out of water.
"You, don't mess around …" Now that it was about to be nighttime, Rong Xiu immediately felt a little panicked. Although yesterday had passed by in peace. However, there were still potential dangers.
Although he liked this man, it was time to do what he needed to do. It was still too fast and slow down.
Su Cheng Xi gazed at his wife and said in a low voice: "You do feel that you lack this fish pond. So we can't eat at home? "
Rong Xiu was startled, she immediately covered her face and laughed, then joked: "I never would have thought. My husband is a man who can eat vinegar like a fish pond. "
After Su Cheng Xi's thoughts were revealed, he immediately felt a bit embarrassed. He turned around and walked a few steps behind him and secretly prodded: "Your fish pond's method is really not bad. How can I bother with dead things?"
Rong Xiu pursed her lips, with a somewhat pleased expression on her face she asked: "It can't be? Why do I feel like a wave of anger is coming over me? "
"You point to the place you're talking about, and what you want to do about it. How are we going to dig the canals? " Su Cheng Xi intentionally wore a serious expression on his face. He glanced around with a serious expression and looked like he was about to point out the world.
"Look, let's dig from this river and extend to this channel. Let's dig deeper into the pond before we head back into the water on the other side. This way, we can form a closed loop. The pond is not stagnant water, so the fish should live better. The two sides of the channel are in the same position. We should set up a few more frames so that no more fish would be able to move past. " Rong Xiu pulled on her husband's sleeves, looking very pleased with herself.
Su Cheng Xi's eyes were filled with astonishment. The idea of his wife was really good.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the farming tools that I've borrowed are not enough. Wait a moment, I'll also ask a few of my fellow villagers for help. I will try my best to settle this matter tomorrow morning. " Su Cheng Xi was scared out of his wits by his wife's stare. He casually made an excuse.
Su Cheng Xi held his hands behind his back and walked into the distance with an angry look on his face.
Rong Xiu smiled. Looking at the desolate land in all four directions, he did not find it hard to endure.
After that, her husband went out to borrow some things and invite some family members over. She had been following the usual pattern all by herself. It would be more suitable to see what could be planted there.
Her house was on the hill. At the other end of the border, there was an incomparably dark and humid land filled with salt. If others were to find out, they would definitely give up this troublesome land that was full of problems.
"This is a good place to grow Yuan ginseng." Rong Xiu was even more pleasantly surprised. As a military doctor, she had been marching all year round. Although her western medicine method was fast, her heart was still filled with the essence of Chinese medicine.
"Be careful!" Su Cheng Xi returned home. He couldn't see his wife from the left or right, so he searched in all four directions. He didn't want to hide in this small place.
Beside him was a dark green snake.
Rong Xiu was overjoyed. She was holding a treasure in her hand that could mend her goods. She was eager to show off to her husband, yet her body was in such a dangerous situation that she didn't feel anything.
The snake's vision was not that good. It would be better if you stood still. The more you ran, the faster it would sense and it would be easier to catch its prey.
The green snake flicked its tongue, and darted out with a 'swish', as if it was a fully recovered bow.
In an instant, he saw Cheng Xi hold his wife in his arms with one hand, and the other hand accurately hold the snake by seven inches. With a shake of his body, the snake was knocked into the stone stream and after a struggle, it lost its response.
"You know kung fu." Rong Xiu turned around, she didn't think that her husband would have such abilities.
"What are you doing here? You have to have a limit even if you want to play. In this place, the poisonous creatures such as the snake, bug, mouse, ants were the easiest to come out of. Are you tired of living? " Su Cheng Xi had never been so fierce before. His hand tightly gripped her arm.
"I... I didn't play. " Rong Xiu was frightened to the point of being stunned, she raised her head and said timidly, "I am only paying attention to our home, how to settle it and how to be more reasonable. I just happened to see some scorpions at that place, so I stayed for a long time. "
