Su Xiaolu pondered. She was thinking of finding time to warn the woman and ask her to buy some good food to nourish her body. Perhaps she could get through this.
A crisp voice interrupted Su Xiaolu’s thoughts.
“Hello, immortals. My name is Sun Ru. Come with me. My mother is heavy and my sister is still young. Don’t take offense if they disturb you. If there’s anything, just tell me. Don’t think that I’m too young. I’m very agile. The house is cleaned every day. Although it’s simple, it’s very clean.”
A little girl of about seven years old came out of the house. She was very thin and small. Her clothes were simple, old, but clean. Her eyes were sparkling and she was in high spirits. She introduced herself clearly and led Su Xiaolu and the others into the courtyard.
Su Xiaolu looked at Sun Ru and was stunned.
Not to mention her, Little Niu and Su Kuo were equally stunned.
It was such a simple courtyard, even poorer than other families, but they could raise such a good child. It was really special.
She did not see the male owner. After all, they were only staying temporarily. It was not appropriate for her to say anything. It was too abrupt.
The few of them followed Sun Ru. There were two side rooms on the right side of the courtyard. Sun Ru opened the simple door and invited Su Xiaolu and the others in. The simple room was simply decorated. There was a table, two chairs, and a bed. It was simple and clean. There were no traces of cobwebs.
“Immortals, are you satisfied? If there’s anything wrong, just tell me. I’ll definitely be able to clean it up.”
Sun Ru stood nervously at the side. Looking at her small room, her face gradually heated up.
The auras of these immortals were so warm. In such a place, they seemed to be tainted by filth. Sun Rut s face turned extremely red. She was really guilty, but her family needed this money very much. She knew very well why people were here now. If not for the fact that the town was full, her family would not have had a chance.
Previously, when people came to the house, they despised her family, especially when they saw her sister and mother. Even if they stayed overnight, they would leave the next day.
This money was too little. It was not enough.
“It’s clean. This will do.”
Su Xiaolu took out silver and gave it to Sun Ru. They wanted both rooms. It was one tael of silver a night. She gave them ten taels at a time.
Sun Ru held the silver and her eyes darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, “Immortal, silver, silver… It’s not enough..
Sun Ru was embarrassed. She had already thought of how to deal with it. Even if it was just one night, she had to pay more.
She was prepared, but to her surprise, Su Xiaolu handed the silver to her again.
There were a total of 30 taels. Su Xiaolu watched as the little girl lowered her head. Her ears were so red that they were about to bleed. She asked gently, “Is that enough now?”
“Enough, enough…”
Sun Ru took it with trembling hands. There were 30 taels, in addition to what she had obtained previously, was enough. She could buy divine medicine now.
“Go out. We’ll call you if anything happens.”
Su Xiaolu spoke to Sun Ru.
Sun Ru hurriedly left.
After Sun Ru left, Su Xiaolu looked at Little Niu. “Junior Brother, did you see her mother’s life turn dark?” Little Niu nodded. “But there’s no need to save her.”
Su Xiaolu was puzzled. “Why?”
Su Kuo smiled brightly and said, “Sister will find out soon. People reap what they sow.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. She lived in this room, and Little Niu and Su Kuo lived in the other room.
As the sky darkened, Sun Ru knocked on the door and brought dinner over.
Sun Ru explained with a red face, “Immortals, I’m too busy today. I’ll go buy some tomorrow.”
Sun Ru’s face was very red. Because she was lying, she felt extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, Su Xiaolu and the others did not argue with her. They let her go.
Sun Ru kept her head lowered.
It was a simple meal of porridge and pickles. Su Kuo, Little Niu, and Su Xiaolu were not picky about food. The three of them finished it quickly. They never wasted food.
After eating, they placed the cutlery outside. Sun Ru would come and collect it.
It was just dark when Su Xiaolu and the others rested. Although they said they were resting, they were actually cultivating mental cultivation techniques.
Su Xiaolu released her five senses. Soon, she heard other voices in the courtyard and the house. She did this because she wanted to know why Sun Ru was lying to them.
Su Kuo and Little Niu were not interested in this matter at all. She was.
Sun Ru was feeding her youngest sister. Her second sister and third sister were obedient. They could eat on their own, but the youngest couldn’t. Her mother was pregnant and couldn’t take care of her. As the eldest sister, she naturally had to bear more responsibility. There was no other reason. She didn’t want to lose her mother.
After dinner, Sun Ru immediately went to clean up the dishes.
Madam Yang held her stomach and weakly returned to the bed to sleep.
Her youngest claugnter was Deside ner, ana so were ner otner two aaugnters.
They were very obedient.
As Madam Yang watched, her eyes turned red. She sniffed and touched her stomach, praying secretly. ‘God, you must let me have a son.’
“Mother, drink some sugar water.”
Sun Ru cleaned up the dishes and went to get hot sugar water to feed Madam Yang.
Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister watched eagerly, but they obediently did not make a fuss. They were still insensible, but they seemed to know that this sugar syrup was to nourish their mother’s body.
Madam Yang sighed. “Ah Ru, you’ve worked hard.”
Sun Ru shook her head. She reached out and touched Madam Yang’s stomach. “Mother, is she obedient?”
Madam Yang nodded. “Very obedient. She didn’t disturb your mother.”
Sun Ru looked at Madam Yang. She leaned gently on Madam Yang’s stomach and asked softly, “Mother, why must you have a boy? Why does Father want a son so much? Why? The world now is different from before.”
Sun Ru was puzzled. Were men really so important?
Madam Yang’s eyes darkened. She muttered, “There are three unfilial things. The most important thing is to have no descendants. If you don’t have a son, the lineage will be severed..
“Mother, but you do all the work. Father doesn’t do anything and even makes mother work so hard. I don’t want my mother to work so hard. Mother, if you still give birth to a sister in this pregnancy, then divorce Father, okay?” Sun Ru was indignant and felt indescribably aggrieved. She had said something heaven-defying, but that was what she thought. She would rather not have such a father.
He said that he would definitely give them a good life if he passed the scholarly examination, but he couldn’t pass it at all and even used everything they had in the family. This family was completely supported by her mother.
Her father would even hit them. She didn’t need such a father. Without him, the money they saved in a year could even let Second Sister and Third Sister go to school to study.
“Ah Ru, how can you say such things? Who taught you this?” Madam Yang was terrified. She hurriedly reached out to cover Sun Ru’s mouth and looked around in fear before relaxing. “Fortunately, your father wasn’t around.. Otherwise, if he heard you, you would definitely be beaten up!”
