Chapter 310 Don’t Be So Frugal
The little girl came over timidly, holding a cabbage leaf in her hand.
A woman hurried out from the kitchen, saw the little girl standing in front of Su Yunluo, and hurried over.
Zhu Jiu glared at his daughter-in-law: "How do you look after the child!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was so busy just now that I didn't pay attention. Xiao Zhao, come over to Mother."
"Wait a moment." Su Yunluo picked up the little girl and let her sit on his lap: "Your name is Xiao Zhao?"
The little girl nodded: "Yeah."
"Xiao Zhao, call me Madam." Zhu Jiu taught the child.
The little girl obediently shouted, "Hello, Madam."
"So good." Su Yunluo touched the little girl's face and said, "Can you tell me what you are doing with a cabbage leaf?"
"Eat." Xiao Zhao said, taking a bite of the cabbage leaf in front of Su Yunluo.
Then he chewed it and ate it.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious. Please eat it, ma'am." As he said that, he handed the half-eaten cabbage leaf to Su Yunluo's mouth.
"Xiao Zhao, put it down quickly. You can't do this." Zhu Jiu stood up anxiously and wanted to take his granddaughter away.
Su Yunluo waved his hand, signaling Zhu Jiu not to move. Then he lowered his head and took a bite of the cabbage while holding the little girl's hand.
It's bland and tasteless, how can it be delicious?
"Is it delicious?" The little girl looked at her expectantly.
Su Yunluo nodded: "It's delicious. I really like eating this cabbage leaf. How about this, I'll exchange it with you for a chicken leg?"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand.
This time, Eighteen cooperated well and quickly pulled a chicken leg and put it in Su Yunluo's hand.
Su Yunluo handed the chicken leg to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the chicken leg and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, staring at the chicken leg without blinking.
Zhu Jiu frowned and coughed heavily.
The little girl's mother hurried over and took the girl away from Su Yunluo's lap: "Madam Su, you eat. The child is ignorant. I will take her down first."
"Come back. Let her sit next to me. I really like this little girl." Su Yunluo spoke softly, but no one dared to disobey.
The woman glanced at her father-in-law and had to put the little girl down.
"You should sit down too and eat together." Su Yunluo said again.
"No, I don't need it. I still have some work to do in the kitchen."
"It won't matter how busy the kitchen is later. Sit down and eat together first." Su Yunluo invited again.
Zhu Jiu immediately said, "Madam asked you to sit down, so just sit down."
The woman had no choice but to sit down with her daughter.
"Eat it." Su Yunluo put the chicken leg in the little girl's hand with a smile.
Although the little girl was very greedy, she didn't dare to eat it immediately. Instead, she stared at her mother.
The woman patted her daughter's head lovingly and said, "The lady tells you to eat, so just eat. Listen to the lady."
The little girl then took a bite of the chicken leg and ate with a look of satisfaction.
After taking a bite himself, he put the chicken leg to the woman's mouth and forced her to take a bite as well.
The woman was reluctant to eat it: "Xiao Zhao, eat it yourself."
The little girl refused to listen and insisted that her mother eat it.
The woman had no choice but to take a small bite and said, "It's delicious."
The little girl then happily continued to eat the chicken leg.
Zhu Jiu's eyes became sore from watching this, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter anything.
The little girl was full soon. The woman didn't eat much, but she also said she was full, and left with the little girl.
Su Yunluo didn't stop him this time.
After the mother and daughter left, Su Yunluo slowly spoke: "Zhu Jiu, how can I feel at ease cooperating with your village in the future?"
When Zhu Jiu heard the tone of voice, he quickly stood up to apologize to Su Yunluo: "My granddaughter and daughter-in-law are ignorant. If they have offended Madam in any way, please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart with them."
"What's wrong with them? They're very good! The one who's ignorant is you!"
"Me? Madam, please let me know if I did anything wrong. I will definitely correct it."
"Can you really change?"
"I will definitely change it."
"Well, I'll give you one last chance. From now on, you are not allowed to let your family and the villagers live so frugally!"
"what?"
"Children should eat well when they are growing up. Adults who do physical work should also eat well. Older people should eat better, so that they can be healthy. I hope that when I come next time, the villagers in your village will be fatter and no longer look like today, falling down with a gust of wind! Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Zhu Jiu replied.
He says the harshest words, but does the most gentle things!
How could Zhu Jiu not understand Madam Su's kindness!
"Only if you are physically strong can you work for me better. Otherwise, if you always look sick and weak, I will stop cooperating with you."
"Yes, I promise that when Madam comes next time, the villagers will be stronger than they are now."
"Okay. I'll give you this silver as payment for this table of food." After Su Yunluo finished speaking, he took out a silver ingot and put it on the table.
This time, Zhu Jiu refused to accept it no matter what.
The two sides were in a stalemate when a villager ran in in a hurry: "Oh no, oh no... Village chief..."
When he saw Su Yunluo, the man realized something. He quickly greeted Su Yunluo first, then pulled Zhu Jiu aside and said a few words anxiously.
"What?" Zhu Jiu was also anxious when he heard it: "How could this happen?"
"We don't know either. It was fine when I bought it, but it suddenly stopped working."
"What should I do?" Zhu Jiu was so anxious that he was turning around.
He couldn't just abandon Madam Su like this!
Otherwise, if Mrs. Su gets angry, it won’t be as simple as losing a cow!
But if I don’t go and see it myself, I will always feel uneasy!
Just when Zhu Jiu didn't know what to do, Su Yunluo spoke first: "What happened? Can you tell me?"
It wasn't something shameful, so Zhu Jiu told Su Yunluo: "Our village just bought a cow for farming. I don't know what happened, it was fine when I bought it, but it broke down after just two days!"
"This was bought with our collective money from the village! If anything happens to this cow, all the villagers in our village will have to go on a diet for a month in vain!"
Being hungry is not scary. What is scary is that after tightening your belt for so long and starving, you finally use the money you saved to buy a cow, but the cow dies. That is really despair!
"Stop talking, let's go and take a look together."
"Madam Su, the cowshed is very dirty and you can't go there. You can rest here and I will go." Zhu Jiu advised.
Su Yunluo asked back: "If you go there, will you be able to treat the cows?"
Zhu Jiu shook his head: "Although I don't know how to do it, at least I have seen a lot..."
If it really doesn’t work, think of other ways!
Su Yunluo didn't wait for him to finish: "I will!"
"Can you? Treat cows?"
"Don't talk too much, you'll know when you get there."
Su Yunluo took the lead and walked in front. After going out the door, he walked in a random direction.
Zhu Jiu caught up with her: "Madam Su, this way."
