After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 106: Rice in Soup

Su Rongrong put down her pen and looked over when she heard that.

I saw her sitting on the edge of the kang with a lonely look on her face, her head down, thinking about something.

“Miao Miao, come here!”

Su Rongrong said as she blew the ink dry, put it away, and patted her side.

Seeing this, Tao Ya said to Su Manman and Su Qiaoqiao, "Manman, Qiaoqiao, let's go out for a walk."

Su Qiaoqiao and Su Manman both glanced at Liu Miao, and then followed Tao Ya without saying a word.

Before Tao Ya left, she considerately helped close the door.

When there were only two people in the room, Su Rongrong asked, "Did you go to see Jinhong just now?"

Liu Miao nodded: "Yeah!"

"So you also know about my mother and Jinhui?"

Liu Miao nodded again: "Yes!"

After that, she reacted and said, "Rongrong, my dad, I'm sorry!"

Su Rongrong reached out and touched her head, "Your father is your father, and it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty.

Besides, I know that my parents are dead, and there are so many people in the clan here, so it makes sense for your father not to interfere."

Liu Miao was silent for a while after hearing this.

She knew that Su Rongrong was waiting for her to tell her about her troubles, so she did not hide anything and told her everything she had just said to Su Jinhong.

Finally, she said, "Rongrong, I know that the people in this village are rather cold and indifferent, and I also know that you don't have a very good impression of the villagers.

After what happened to my aunt, you can't live here anymore and I understand you want to move out.

But I'm still young and I don't want to leave my parents so early.

If I were to just marry to Fengwu Town or Lanxia County, it wouldn’t matter. I can come back anytime I want.

But I don’t really want to be far away from home and find it difficult to see my parents whenever I miss them.

At least I am not willing to do so at the moment.

When you leave, I will be sad, upset, but also bless you.

But I want to follow along, sorry, I really can't do it.

So, I told Jinhong that if he passed the exam, we would get engaged first and then wait for him to turn 20.

If he meets another girl outside and thinks she is better, he can write me a letter to withdraw his affection."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Su Rongrong reached out and touched her forehead.

"What a silly girl. No, you and Jinhong are just overthinking.

Let me put it this way, although we will follow Jinhong wherever he gets admitted in the future, it is definitely not now.

Regardless of whether I can find my mother and Jinhui before the New Year, I have no choice but to rent a house in the county town.

Jinhong will take the county examination after the New Year, and I may have to go to the county town every now and then for some reason.

Sometimes I get busy late and need to find a place to stay. I can’t always bother Brother Zheng, right?”

Liu Miao followed her words and nodded.

Su Rongrong continued, "So, renting a house is a must. But on a daily basis, Qiaoqiao, Manman and I still live in the village.

We have our house and land here, and even if we rent them out, we can't completely ignore them.

What's more, Brother Zheng got some imported products, all of which are seeds. I plan to use a few acres of land to try planting them.

In this case, how is it possible for me to live in the county and not come back?

Besides, Jinhong can pass both the county and prefectural examinations.

The college entrance examination will be in June.

By then, even if he becomes a scholar, you will have reached the age of marriage.

If he wants to go to the provincial school to study, I will probably let Manman go with him, while Qiaoqiao and I will stay here.

If I could find my mother and Jinhui, they would stay in the county town and would not go to the provincial capital.

It’s not a good place for them!”

When Liu Miao heard this, she looked thoughtful.

Su Rongrong continued, "If we can't find them or where they are, then there's no need for us to go there.

Here, if there is any news about them, Brother Zheng and Wei Bo'niang will tell us the first time.

Besides, if Jinhong works hard, by the time he passes the imperial examination, you will have reached marriageable age and can get engaged.

I think it would take at least three or four years for him to pass the imperial examination and go to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

You will be eighteen or nineteen by then, and I think you should be ready to get married and leave, right?"

Eighteen or nineteen, which means there are still several years left. Liu Miao felt that it was completely acceptable and nodded repeatedly.

Su Rongrong continued: "During this period, if there is anything, I will go to Duofu City.

If Jinhong and Manman go, I think they will definitely have to make a living there.

I would like Taoya to go with me to help then. If you want, you can go with Taoya.

From what I'm thinking now, I should open a food shop by then.

This is completely different from the restaurant or tavern that Wei Bo Niang owns. It is just a small shop that specializes in selling rice topped with gravy or fast food like a canteen."

Liu Miao didn’t know what cafeteria-style fast food was, let alone what rice with toppings was.

Just as she was puzzled, Su Rongrong said, "It's too early to talk about this now.

I haven't decided what to do yet. I have to find time to go to the capital and see what's going on there before I can make a decision."

Liu Miao's originally depressed heart gradually became bright after hearing what Su Rongrong said.

Thinking that she was only going to the provincial capital and would not come back, and that she would go with Tao Ya to help, she came up with an idea.

"Rongrong, how about I go with you guys tomorrow?"

Su Rongrong shook her head: "No need, Taoya is fine as long as she follows me.

Please help me look after my house, and also keep an eye on those families in the Su family.

If you want to learn my cooking skills, I can teach you anytime.

You know, I didn’t avoid you when I was cooking.”

Liu Miao was very fortunate that Su Jinhong had such a good elder sister and that she had such a good sister.

After hearing this, she stopped worrying.

"Okay, I listen to you!"

As she spoke, she leaned her head on Su Rongrong's shoulder.

"Rongrong, thank you. And, I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Su Rongrong didn't say anything, but just reached out and patted her on the back gently.

Hou Yazhong, Lanxia County

Because of his mother's arrival, Baili Zheng did not stay at the county school that night. After seeing the food his mother had prepared, he asked directly:

"Mother, have you gone to find Rongrong?"

Wei nodded: "Well, this girl is nice and has good cooking skills.

Mother was there at noon and ate quite a lot.”

Xiangyang, who was helping to serve the dishes, waited for Wei to finish speaking, then smiled and said:

"My Lord, Madam ate too much at noon, so she practiced a set of boxing techniques after returning."

When Baili Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt a little ashamed of his mother.

How full would one have to be to last so long as to make it all the way back to the county town from Sujia Village without digesting the food, and still need to rely on boxing to help digest the food?

Wei was not annoyed by the maid's complaint. Seeing her son's indescribable expression, she looked at Xiangyang.

"Girl, you're talking like you haven't eaten enough.

Who said on the way back that some people at the same table ate the soup from other people's dishes with their rice?

I'll hold on, at least there's still some soup left."
