Chapter 973 The Prosperity of Ancient Farmers 8

Xia Yichu and Su Mei returned home, only to find that Liu Xia was at home.

When Su Mei asked, she found out that that family's rice harvest had been finished.

Liu Xia had nothing to do, so she simply came back.

Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao were scribbling on the ground with a branch in the yard.

Until they saw Su Mei and Xia Yichu, Su Jiabao and Su Zhaodi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eldest sister, second sister, you are back."

"Well, wash your hands quickly. See what I bought for you?" Xia Yichu took out two bunches of candied haws from the basket and waved them in front of them.

The surface of the candied haws is covered with a thin layer of brown sugar. The red color makes it infinitely attractive to children.

Su Jiabao and Su Zhaodi watched intently. In the past, when Su Zhenghe took prey to sell in the town, he would buy them sugar-coated haws.

"Second sister, this costs money, so we won't eat it." Brother Su Zhao took Su Jiabao's hand.

Su Jiabao reacted suddenly and shook his head: "Yes, yes, second sister, we are not going to eat, so we should keep the money to buy medicine for daddy."

"It's okay, you second sister has made money, and this doesn't cost much. We've already bought it. If you don't eat it, throw it away." Xia Yichu deliberately scared them.

When Su Jiabao and Su Zhaodi heard this, they immediately reached out and took the candied haws in their hands.

"Mom, why are you back so early today?" Su Mei walked up to Liu Xia, handed the money over, and said, "This is the sixty cents given by the embroidery shop."

"Sixty cents? Who gave you the candied haws?" Liu Xia glanced at the candied haws in the hands of Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao.

Liu Xia's personality cannot be said to be very gentle, but she never loses her temper with her children. Even if she just saw Xia Yichu taking out the candied haws from the basket, Liu Xia would not accuse Xia Yichu of spending money recklessly. Usually, I will slowly educate the children after the incident occurs.

"Well, the second sister bought it herself." When talking about this matter, Su Mei couldn't help but show a relaxed and happy look on her face. She was even in the mood to show off to Liu Xia: "Mom, guess what? How much did my sister’s herbal medicine cost?”

"How much?" Liu Xia glanced at Su Mei and couldn't guess at all.

Before Xia Yichu took them, she also took a look at the plants. Although they looked green and lush, even Liu Xia couldn't recognize what herbs they were.

She always thought they were weeds, and she never thought that the owner of the drug store would actually take them.

"Fifty taels of silver." Su Mei whispered.

Then, Su Mei saw the same shock on Liu Xia's face as when she was in the drug store.

Liu Xia couldn't calm down for a long time, until Xia Yichu put the forty-nine taels of silver on the table. Everyone in the family felt like they were dreaming when they looked at the silver coins of different sizes.

Xia Yichu kept some broken silver for himself, then pushed the rest of the silver in front of Liu Xia and said, "Mom, keep this silver carefully."

"Erya, this is your own money. Mom can just take thirty taels." Liu Xia said, with these thirty taels, she can pay off the debts of the Chen family.

The pressure that had been building up during this period suddenly relaxed, making Liu Xia feel more and more like she was dreaming.

"Thirty taels?" Xia Yichu looked up at her: "Are you going to pay back the Chen family's money?"

"Yes, yes, what's wrong?" Liu Xia looked into Xia Yichu's dark eyes, feeling increasingly unable to treat her as a child.

"Mom, have you ever thought about the consequences if you suddenly take out thirty taels of silver now?" Xia Yichu said calmly.

Not only Liu Xia, but also Su Mei and Su Zhenghe who were sitting on the bed looked confused after hearing Xia Yichu's words.

Xia Yichu sighed, not knowing whether to say they were simple and honest, or stupid.

Xia Yichu opened his mouth to explain to them: "Obviously they only lent us ten taels of silver at that time, but within a few days they asked us to pay back thirty taels. Everyone in the village doesn't know the miserable situation our family is in now. They clearly did this deliberately. Give us a difficult problem so that when the time comes you can't come up with the money and sell me and my eldest sister to a brothel.

If we suddenly take out thirty taels of silver to pay back the money, they will not let it go. Since they could double the amount of silver from ten taels to thirty taels at that time, would they change their words and say thirty taels of silver into sixty taels? "

The more Xia Yichu talked, the more and more ugly Liu Xia's expression became.

By the time Xia Yichu finished speaking, Liu Xia's expression had turned pale.

"Then, what should we do? They kill with a thousand swords!" Liu Xia held Su Mei's hand, a little confused, and she obviously believed Xia Yichu's words in her heart.

Su Zhenghe, who was sitting on the bed, had a changed expression, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xia Yichu.

"Father, Mom, please don't worry about this matter for now. Leave it to me." Xia Yichu said.

Liu Xia wanted to reply to her by saying, "How do you deal with a child like you?", but Su Zhenghe had already responded before her: "Okay, Erya, if you need our help in any way, just tell us that we are a family. people."

"Yeah, dad, I know." Xia Yichu smiled.

After Xia Yichu, Su Mei and their four children went out, Liu Xia put away the money left by Xia Yichu and said to Su Zhenghe with disapproval: "Erya is still a child, how could you talk like that just now? She is a How can the child solve the Chen family's affairs? I think I'd better go to the village chief's house this afternoon."

"Erya is no longer the Erya before. She is young, but she is very independent and more powerful than us. You, please don't worry so much." Su Zhenghe said to Liu Xia.

Su Zhenghe usually seems to be the kind of person who doesn't like to talk and only keeps his head down when doing things. But on many things, when the two of them discuss things behind closed doors, it is Su Zhenghe who makes the decision.

Now that he said this, Liu Xia thought about the changes that had happened to her second daughter in the past few days, and a cold sweat broke out in her heart: "The child's father, if you don't tell me, I haven't paid attention, but you said that our Erya... "

"Don't think about it! She is our second Ya! Who else would be so kind to us besides our own daughter! If we didn't take the money and run away earlier." Su Zhenghe suddenly interrupted Liu Xia His expression and tone were unprecedentedly severe.

Liu Xia suddenly woke up after what he said, and the thought in her heart was killed before it could see the light.
