Chapter 475: Su Niang's hard life

"Su Niang, why are you here?" Li Xiu couldn't help but shouted in surprise when he saw the person he bumped into. The one who hit him was a young woman, Su Niang, the eldest daughter of Liu. She also worked in the tea workshop at the beginning, but she heard that she married and had children last year, so she quit the workshop.

"See Master, are you here to find Sister Yuechan?" Su Niang also showed a surprised expression when she saw Li Xiu, but then she became a little unnatural. She hurriedly said again, "Sister Yuechan is inside. Master, go quickly. I have something to do at home, so I will say goodbye first!"

Su Niang said a bow to Li Xiu, and then left quickly without saying a word. This made Li Xiu a little puzzled. Su Niang was a few years younger than him. Because of Boss Liu, Su Niang was very familiar with him. Even when Yue Chan and Liu Er were not yet at the beginning, Su Niang had helped him wash clothes, so he always treated Su Niang as a sister. Su Niang used to be very enthusiastic when she saw him. Li Xiu also went on the day she got married. Although the family she married was poor, Su Niang was very satisfied. On the contrary, the eldest and eldest and the wife felt that their son-in-law's family was too poor and worried that Su Niang would suffer in the future.

Seeing Su Niang leaving as if she was running away, Li Xiu couldn't understand the reason. He stepped into the yard where Yue Chan lived. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yue Chan sitting behind the table in a daze, not as busy as usual. This made Li Xiu walk forward in surprise, pat her shoulder gently and said, "What are you thinking?"

"Ah! Master, why are you here?" Yuechan was startled at first. When she saw that it was Li Xiu who was photographing her, she couldn't help but stand up and ask in surprise.

"I went to the new home for nothing and visited you. But when I came in just now, I met Su Niang, and then saw you sitting here in a daze. Are you worried?" Li Xiu smiled and asked Yuechan to sit down, then sat down himself, then poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Master, you met Su Niang, what did she say?" Yuechan asked with a concern when she heard Li Xiu met Su Niang.

"That's not. I was also surprised just now. Su Niang seemed a little unnatural when she saw me. She said just one sentence and left in a hurry?" Li Xiu frowned when he said this, but at this moment he suddenly found a small jar on the table in front of Yue Chan. She seemed to be looking at the jar just now, which made him curiously pick up the jar and ask, "What is this?"

"This is a chili sauce made by Su Niang himself. She is a gift to me. Speaking of which, Su Niang has a miserable life. She encountered such a thing after getting married!" When Yue Chan said the last time, tears suddenly burst out. When she first came to Li Xiu's house, she met Su Niang. They were about the same age, so they quickly became good friends who could talk about everything, so she agreed with Su Niang very much.

"What's going on? Was Su Niang bullied by her in-laws after getting married?" Li Xiu stood up suddenly when he heard Yue Chan's words, and his face showed an annoyed look. Although Su Niang was not his own sister, she could not let others bully her.

Seeing Li Xiu's angry look, Yue Chan hurriedly stood up and pulled him down, and then sighed and said, "Master, please calm down. If Su Niang was bullied, it would be good. In fact, the husband she married was a good one. Although the family was a little poor, she really had nothing to say to Su Niang. She had never even let her do farm work. Su Niang saw me several times after marriage and said she had married a good family. But she didn't expect that when her husband went up the mountain to chop wood this year, she accidentally rolled down from the mountain and injured her waist. She is still lying on the bed. I asked the imperial doctor in the mansion to help him see it. Although the injury can be cured, she will also suffer from problems in the future. For example, the heavy work in the field will definitely not be done."

At the end of the day, Yuechan began to wipe her tears. Li Xiu sighed when he heard this. In this society, men are the pillars of the family, especially Su Niang's family is not in good condition. If a man cannot do heavy work, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for a family like her.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel sympathy for Su Niang's experience, but then he cheered up and said, "It's okay, Su Niang is Uncle Liu's daughter and my sister. When she encounters difficulties, I, a brother, cannot sit rude. Yuechan, you are going to order land and other things, and wait until you have the opportunity to send it to Su Niang!"

"Master, I know your kindness, but Su Niang is gentle on the outside and strong on the inside. She never wants to accept the alms of others. Not to mention you, even her father Uncle Liu wants to help her, but this time the family is in trouble, so she comes to me and wants to come back to the workshop to continue working, so that the family can get an income at least!" Yuechan smiled bitterly when she heard Li Xiu's words.

"Uh?" Li Xiu didn't expect that Su Niang was so strong-willed. However, when Yue Chan mentioned that Su Niang wanted to return to the workshop to do things, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, Su Niang used to do a good job in the workshop, and she should have a lot of income. Even if she got married, there was no need to quit the matter in the workshop, right?"

When Li Xiu mentioned this, Yue Chan said helplessly again: "Su Niang is indeed very good at the workshop. She is smart and studious. She used to learn literacy and mathematics. Among the first female workers, she could write and calculate, so she always helped me manage the accounting and earned a lot of money. However, after she got married, her husband was very nice to her, but her mother-in-law thought that women had to take care of their husbands and children at home after marriage. In order not to make her mother-in-law angry, Su Niang quit the matter in the workshop. Now something happened at home, and the family could not survive on a few acres of thin land, so Su Niang wanted to come back."

Su Niang is very strong-willed. If she hadn't really been able to live at home, she wouldn't have come to ask Yuechan for help. But even so, she still wanted to make money with her own hands, which is much more backbone than ordinary women.

"That's the case, then Yuechan, you must have agreed?" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this, and then asked Yuechan again.

"That's natural. Our workshop is short of manpower. Moreover, Su Niang has worked in the workshop before and is very familiar with the things in the workshop. I also know her personality. To put it bluntly, it's very appropriate for a woman like Sou Niang to take care of money. There is no right reason, no one can deduct a penny from her!" Yue Chan nodded immediately.

When Li Xiu heard Yuechan's comment on Su Niang this, he couldn't help but smile. Then he saw the chili sauce sent by Su Niang. He remembered that the chili sauce made by Su Niang used to taste very good, and he was a person who was not spicy enough. He couldn't help but open the jar and smell it, but found that the taste was as good as he remembered.

But at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Li Xiu's mind. If it works, he would have to visit Su Niang tomorrow and talk to her by the way.
