“It’s alright if she doesn’t come back.” I wasn’t expecting her to come back anyway, “But it’s necessary to talk to her about it.”
“Alright then.” Old Zhang nodded.
After a while, Aunt Zhang walked into the yard with a hoe in one hand and a basket of freshly dug carrots and garlic in the other. She handed the basket to Su Qingyue, “Here, wife of the Xiao Family.”
“Don’t you want to weigh them?” She held the basket, and even with some mud, it was definitely more than twelve jin.
“No need, if the difference is just a jin or two, as long as you don’t feel cheated.”
“It’s probably about fourteen jin. I’m the one taking advantage.”
“It’s fine. We still have a lot in our fields. If you like it, I’ll dig some more for you another day.”
“You’re too polite, not necessary.” Su Qingyue seemed to think of something, “I’m out of salt at home, Aunt Zhang, can I borrow some?
“How much do you need?”
“Sure, I’ll scoop some for you right away.” Aunt Zhang readily filled a bowl with salt and brought it out.
“I’ll come by another time to return the basket and the bowl of salt.” Su Qingyue put the bowl of salt in the basket, carried it, and said goodbye.
When she returned to the Xiao Family’s house, she saw the full basket under the eaves and remembered that the little milk dog was still in the basket.
As she approached the basket, the outer layer of the herbs inside moved a bit. She pushed the herbs aside and saw the little milk dog looking up at her.
Its watery, pitiful eyes weren’t much bigger than the palm of her hand, and its little tail wagged at her from its tiny body.
It turned out that the little guy had been huddled in the herbs all day long.
She took the little milk dog out and put it on the ground.
Xiao Yuchuan, in the master bedroom, saw this through the open door and asked, “Wife, what are you holding in your hand? Did you catch a wild rabbit by any chance?”
“No, I picked up a little milk dog.”
“It’s so small, not enough for a meal if we cook it!”
Su Qingyue threw the little milk dog on the ground, “Did you hear that, Third Brother said you’re too small, not enough for a meal. We’ll wait until you grow bigger to slaughter.”
“Arf arf!” The little milk dog let out a childish yelp.
“It sounds like a mouse.” Su Qingyue went into the kitchen, put down the basket, and started cooking dinner.
The little milk dog, dragging its injured hind leg, limped after her.
Su Qingyue almost stepped on it, “Don’t follow me, don’t try to bond with me. I’m too poor to keep pets, you’re just my food, understand?” It made a dog-like sound, “Arf arf .
“Tsk, little bastard!” She ignored it and continued cooking dinner.
“Second Brother Xiao, Chuan, Qinghe, you’re all at home, right?” Zhou Fuquan’s voice came from outside the courtyard door.
“Fuquan, we’re here,” Xiao Yuchuan happily said, “Come on in.”
Su Qingyue saw Zhou Fuquan enter the master bedroom. Before entering the room, he glanced at her, guilt flashing in his eyes.
She guessed why he had come and didn’t pay much attention, continuing to cook dinner.
After a while, Xiao Yuchuan called out, “Wife, can you come over for a moment?”
She put down her work and walked into the master bedroom. Zhou Fuquan, who was sitting on the side of the bed, immediately stood up, “Sister-in-law, I’ve already asked Cuihua about what happened earlier. I’m really sorry.”
Guiltily, Zhou Fuquan said, “This is what happened. At first, I borrowed one and a half taels for the Xiao Family. My parents really didn’t know, and Cuihua agreed. My father hasn’t said anything these past few days. My mother has been scolding Cuihua and me, fearing that you can’t pay back the money. The villagers have also been saying that the money is lost. Cuihua is probably worried, and with my mother scolding me and not sparing Cuihua, she just… ”
