Proud Farm Girl With A Space

Chapter 14

"Well, I already heard my mother say that neither you nor Sister Dani will go back anymore. She said that now your stepmother and grandma won't hit you anymore at least." Dongzi said. From the side, Huzi also promised to remember when Su Nuo lived now. The three little friends were all happily getting along.

Su Tang saw that the children were playing well together so she told Su Nuo to take some of the red dates Su Yongqiang gave them yesterday and give them to his friends. After that, she headed out with her bamboo basket.

Su Tang went to the bank of the Qing River and threw the bamboo basket into the shallow water. After about 15 minutes, she pulled the bamboo basket back up while putting two grass carps from the space inside secretly at the same time. Then she went back home with the basket.

Since it was barely an hour from the time she left to the time she came back Dongzi and Huzi had not left yet. They were busy inviting Su Nuo to go up the mountain and dig wild vegetables with them tomorrow.

Su Nuo was a little tempted to go but when he saw his sister coming back, he looked at her with questions in his eyes.

All six-year-old children were lively and playful but in the past, Su Nuo had always been forced to do a lot of chores, so he had always seemed slightly gloomy. Even when he was allowed to go outside the house he had always been told to bring enough things back with him or else he would be beaten.

So back then, even if he was going out to play with his friends, Su Nuo could never really relax. There was no way for him to relax because for him it was not really playing. But now that they had left Su Yonggui's family Su Nuo didn't have any tasks to do outside anymore. He didn't have to worry about being beaten for not digging enough vegetables or for not picking enough fruits. For the first time, he could really go out and play.

Su Tang was planning to send Su Nuo to study when she had enough money to do so. She knew that once he started to study, he probably wouldn't have much time to play like this anymore, so she wanted to let him cherish this time while they were still too poor to afford to send him to study. At least for now, he could play outside as much as he wanted.

With that thought in mind, Su Tang nodded to the little guy, and as soon as Su Nuo saw his sister nod he immediately became joyful. "Well, I'll get up early tomorrow morning and we can go up the mountain together. That tree we saw last time should be bearing fruit soon. We should watch it carefully, so the dogs won't take the fruits away."

Dongzi and Huzi heard him say yes, so the three little guys joyfully made an appointment to go to the mountain early tomorrow morning. Then the two boys left to go home.

Su Nuo was also looking forward to it. This time he would be able to dig wild vegetables and pick fruits, and then take them home and sell them in town to make his own money.

After Dongzi and Huzi left, Su Tang saw that it was still early, so she went outside and pulled up a handful of grass, twisted the grass into a rope, and then took the grass carp she had just brought back and hooked the rope through the fish's mouth. Then she took Su Nuo and the two of them left toward Su Yongqiang's house while carrying the fish.

When Su Tang and her brother arrived Su Yongqiang was sitting with his wife Madam Zhou and discussing the marriage of their youngest daughter. Su Yongqiang and Madam Zhou had two sons and two daughters. At present, only the youngest daughter, Su Xue, had not yet married. But she had recently turned 16 years old so she was already old enough to talk about marriage.

These days, Madam Zhou had been busy taking her two daughters-in-law around everywhere to make inquiries, trying to find a suitable husband for her daughter. While they were discussing, someone told them that Su Tang and her brother were coming to visit so the couple hastily stopped their conversation and waited for the siblings to come inside.

Su Yongqiang and Madam Zhou were the two people most familiar with the siblings. Back on that day, it had been Madam Zhou who had led her daughters-in-law in making mourning clothes for the siblings. Back then, the two children still had dirty and grubby appearances, like two small beggars.

But now that they were living alone, not even mentioning how they themselves looked, even the clothes the sister and brother pair were wearing had been scrubbed clean. In the past, you could tell that no one was taking care of them at a glance, but now they looked completely different.

Madam Zhou and Su Yongqiang exchanged glances with each other. It seemed that they had done the right thing by helping the siblings be adopted into Su Laochuan's family. It seemed the two kids were tough. Although she was not old, Su Tang was a girl who could get things done and was very diligent. Seeing the two siblings like this, the couple were confident that the kids' lives wouldn't be too bad in the future.

"What are Tang'er and Brother Nuo doing here? Come in and sit down. You, come pour some water for your Aunt Tang and Uncle Nuo." Madam Zhou beckoned her little daughter-in-law over to pour water.
