The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

 Chapter 34 The first beating

Cheng Yuzhu picked up a piece of hawthorn that was not delicate and stared at the Su family boy with half a glance.

　　The book about burying hawthorn slices in bargains was almost raised to the throat. I secretly prayed in my heart that the hawthorn slices could make the Su family a good profit. The man named Cheng must not steal the hawthorn business!

There is not even a serious shop, it is just placed on a chopping board, and it is actually sold as something that everyone knows. Cheng Yuzhu's half-squinted eyes moved, what if it was sold in a shop?

Mrs. Yao's face was full of calculations, which made Shu Tongxin tremble with fright, but she kept a fake smile on her face and remained calm.

Cheng Yuzhu let go of his hand, and the hawthorn piece fell to the ground and broke into several pieces instantly.

The girl stretched out her foot and stepped on it. She raised her hand to support her master's arm and said, "Madam, it's cold, let's go back."

Cheng Yuzhu twitched the corner of her mouth, turned around, and left with great pomp.

Shutong stared at the retreating figure and did not move for a long time.

Dashi seemed to feel that his business was going to be squeezed, and he lightly tapped Shu Tong: "Brother Tong, do you still need to restock?"

Mrs. Yao's expression was like disdain. Shutong was thinking about it when Dashi brought him back to his senses: "Make up!" He always felt that the hawthorn slice business would not be so easy in the future.

As soon as he got home in the evening, Shutong told Su Ruojin about his encounter with the Cheng family's eldest daughter in the evening, and she was very calm.

Shutong was surprised: "That's Madam's sister. Aren't you angry?"

Su Ruojin was of course angry, but she didn't expect that the eldest daughter who married a marquis would care about such a small business. But looking at it from another perspective, could it be that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family was not doing well too?

Thinking of this, Su Ruojin actually felt as happy as Ah Q. Could it be that, unknown to her, the vicious people in the Cheng family were having a hard time?

"Hey, hello..." Shutong saw the mysterious smile of the little master, and felt goosebumps on his body.

Su Ruojin put away her gloating thoughts and reminded: "Have you not seen the example of fried dough sticks and soy milk dumplings?"

"But...this..." How can I make so much money? Shutong was extremely depressed.

Su Ruojin smiled slightly, "Around the Chinese New Year, people not only eat and drink well, but also eat as much as they want. Of course, the demand for hawthorn slices is high, but after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the demand is not that great. It will be the same as ordinary snacks." Just buy snacks as usual.”

Although the three father and son of the Feng family had known that they would go back to their hometown on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they were still very disappointed when they heard that it would be winter again. In winter, I am afraid that many people will be doing this business, and it will be their turn to make money. ?

Shu Tong was unwilling to give in, "Then let's sell our inventory quickly before they catch up."

 This is true.

Su Ruojin cheered them on: "Thank you for your hard work!"

 In fear of being robbed of their business, several people, including Dong’s mother, stayed up late in the workshop.

At dusk and sunset, Su Yanli returned home with a chill. One of his son and daughter fetched him face wash, and the other brought him food and rice. They circled around him and knocked him into confusion. They stretched out their hands to rub the top of his eldest son's hair. He just rubbed the top of his daughter's head and said, "Are you studying seriously at home?"

“Dad, I finished reading Zhongyong today and practiced five pages of small regular script and five pages of running script.”

Su Yanli nodded, showed an approving smile, and continued to encourage: "Try to finish learning all four books and five classics this year."

 “Yes, Dad.”

 “Dad, it’s time to eat!” Su Ruojin shouted loudly and asked with a smile on her face: “Dad, what about you, how is your progress?”

Su Yanli: ...I only know how to check my son’s homework, but the tasks assigned to him by my daughter have not yet started.

Su Ruojin looked at his father with a smile to see what he had to say. "I went to the place where Cheng Baotai worked today, and I spent half a tael of silver on a cup of tea..." Su Yanli felt heartbroken when he thought of drinking a book's worth of money in the blink of an eye.

The Dean's Square is a place that tests a man's character, and it was she who coaxed him to go there. If...he had to test it out.

Su Ruojin asked deliberately: "Have you seen the beauty?"

"Yeah." Su Yanli nodded, but when he thought about it, something felt wrong. This was what a daughter would ask her father. She glared: "Su... Ruo... Jin..."

Su Ruojin was not afraid of him as a seven-year-old kid, but she pretended to be and hid on the other side of the table, "Then how did the beauty greet you? Are you shy?"

　　It’s terrible, it’s going to rebel.

Su Yanli really stretched out his hand to hit someone.

Su Ruojin circled the table, keeping his father out of his reach, "Dad, were you afraid of being entangled by a beauty, so you escaped and hid in the bookstore?"

"What does beauty have to do with me? I just saw the students..." Su Yanli realized that his daughter had tricked him into talking. He couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop."

"I won't stand." Su Ruojin hit his father, "I asked you to go to the Jiaoshifang just to save your aunt. If... humph..."

Su Yanli was really troubled by his villainous daughter, "Don't think that your father has never been to brothels and brothels. Your father is also a man who has seen the world. Those women have their own way of living, and your father also has his own way of dealing with the world. Where did you little lady learn all these messy things?”

　What? Dad has been to a brothel, right?

Su Yanli had a headache when he saw his daughter's eyes widening. "What do you know?"

Su Ruojin’s small mouth bulged in anger: “Don’t think I don’t understand anything.”

Su Yanli really wanted to die. He shouldn't have listened to his daughter and gone to the priest's office and caused a lot of trouble.

"Dad, why don't you speak?" Su Ruojin snorted angrily: "I didn't expect that dad would be such a dad."

He is not even angry. This little guy is so smart that he can't beat him. If he doesn't explain clearly today, he, as a father, may become a different kind of father. "Does it mean that you have to drink when you go to a restaurant?"

He doesn’t need to drink. Can’t he sit still?

oh!

Su Ruojin smiled successfully, "After all, my dad is still my dad!"

He knew that Su Yanli was so angry that his heart was pounding. It was so outrageous. This child would not be able to survive without a beating today. Su Yanli could get a feather duster and press the little man's spirit on his legs to give him a good beating.

 “Help! Mom, save me...”

Someone in the Su family courtyard cried louder than Su Silang tonight.

Hmm...he is no longer alive. Su Ruojin is too embarrassed to see anyone.

Cheng Yingzhen was shocked and surprised when she heard her daughter crying. She put on some clothes and hurried to the dining room, "Official..." At a glance, she saw her daughter being spanked by her husband, with tears all over her face.

Su Yanli was so frightened when he saw his frail wife coming out without any clothes on that she quickly put down her beaten daughter, came over, tightened her clothes, and half-hugged her in his arms to keep her warm.

Cheng Yingzhen pointed to her tearful daughter and asked in confusion: "This is..."

 “This child wants to rebel, and he can’t do it without beating him.”
