Chapter 429 Scare Luo Yuzhu
"do not come!"
Luo Yuzhu found a pair of scissors from somewhere, pointed them at her neck, looked determined, and shouted at Su Mingzhe.
When Su Mingzhe saw this, he stopped at the door:
"I won't go over. If you have anything to say, let's talk it out. Put down the scissors first."
As Su Mingzhe spoke, he picked off a piece of wall with his fingers.
If Luo Yuzhu really wanted to do something, Su Mingzhe could seal her acupoints with wall plaster and take away the scissors before she could do anything.
Luo Yuzhu was relieved to see that Su Mingzhe did not force his way into the house, and quickly said:
"I don't want to marry you, please let me go."
"Where are you going?"
Su Mingzhe raised his lips slightly and couldn't help laughing:
"Have you ever thought about leaving here? Where to go? Now you need a certificate from the street office to go out. If you don't have a certificate, you will be arrested as a 'hooligan' within a hundred miles."
"I'm a woman, how could I be a hooligan? Don't scare me!"
Although Luo Yuzhu had never been to school, she knew that "rogue" was an insult.
Seeing that she was willing to chat with him, Su Mingzhe was no longer in a hurry to stop her:
"The government calls people without houses and land 'vagrants', or 'vagrants' for short. People without proper jobs are called 'rogues', or 'rogues' for short. Put together, it means that you have no identity documents, no place to live, and no job. This is the definition of a 'rogue'. Do you think you would be considered a rogue if you leave Pujiang?"
"That...that's better than staying here with you!"
Luo Yuzhu was not very old, only fifteen years old. She was frightened by Su Mingzhe and her courage was a little weak. However, she looked around and it was obvious that she had not given up.
Su Mingzhe saw that Luo Yuzhu seemed to have a problem with him, and he felt helpless, so he had to coax her:
"Well, I won't force you, but you don't want to die. In a month or so, I will go to another province to study. If you really don't agree to be my wife, you can continue to stay here. I will be away for four years. After four years, when I come back, if you still don't agree, you can go wherever you want. Is that okay?"
Su Mingzhe naturally would not let Luo Yuzhu leave.
It's just that Luo Yuzhu is very emotional now, and he doesn't want to force himself on her.
After hearing Su Mingzhe's words, Luo Yuzhu's despair came back to life, and she asked with hope:
"You really won't force me? And you agree to let me go later?"
"Of course, a real man should keep his word."
Su Mingzhe's words made Luo Yuzhu relax her guard a little, but she still poked her neck with the scissors and said to the man:
"Then swear that you will never force me!"
"I've told you everything, but you still don't believe me?"
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Luo Yuzhu was so nagging when she was young. He was too lazy to continue coaxing her. The wall in his hand flew up and directly sealed her sleeping point. The next second, she fell into a deep sleep.
Some things are better done once than said a hundred times.
Su Mingzhe said that he would not touch her, but Luo Yuzhu was suspicious.
But now that Su Mingzhe had subdued her, he only took off her coat and stuffed her into the quilt.
When Luo Yuzhu woke up, she naturally understood that Su Mingzhe was a man of his words and would not force her.
Although Luo Yuzhu fell asleep in the quilt, her little face was still wrinkled and her eyebrows were furrowed from time to time.
After seeing this, Su Mingzhe felt somewhat distressed.
After her biological mother died, Luo Yuzhu really became a redundant person in the Luo family, and even her biological father disliked her.
No one knew what was going on in his mind, but Su Mingzhe looked at the sleeping Luo Yuzhu and ultimately did not use the Red Thread of Love skill on her.
If Su Mingzhe, as Luo Yuzhu's man, bullied her, her life would be too unfair.
At around six or seven in the evening, Chen Jianghe woke up.
Su Mingzhe had already prepared dinner, and the two brothers ate without calling Luo Yuzhu.
Luo Yuzhu slept for twelve hours before she was awakened by the noise outside the house.
I woke up from the dream and saw darkness in front of me.
The first thing Luo Yuzhu did was to fumble around her pillow. When she found the scissors that she had hidden with her for more than a month, she regained her composure in the dark and began to grope and check herself.
Except for the jacket, the inner clothes and pants were not touched.
After making sure that the matter was not settled, Luo Yuzhu began to recall why she fainted.
In the darkness, Luo Yuzhu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.
I don’t know how long I spent in the darkness. The rhythm of the sounds outside went from whirring at the beginning to gradually becoming silent.
Luo Yuzhu, who had had a good sleep, couldn't help but listen attentively.
The two people in the yard had actually just completed a round of Yu Bu and were regulating their breathing, expelling the old and taking in the new.
When Su Mingzhe and Chen Jianghe started moving again, the whirring sound came into the room again.
This happened three or four times, and by dawn it was almost dawn, and there was already a little light outside the window.
"Brother, I'm going hunting first."
After practicing Yu Bu, Chen Jianghe carried a bow and a spear on his back, then leaped over the wall.
When Su Mingzhe returned to the main room, he heard the disordered breathing of the beauty on the bed:
"If you're awake, get up. It's almost six o'clock. In a little while, it will be daybreak."
Su Mingzhe pulled the light bulb switch, and the orange incandescent light instantly filled the room.
Luo Yuzhu, who was originally looking at the door carefully, was dazzled by the light and quickly raised her hands to block her sight.
"I wasn't pretending to be asleep." Luo Yuzhu knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she quickly crawled out of the bed. Only then did she see her taken-off coat placed next to her pillow.
"I know you're not pretending to sleep. I put a flashlight next to your pillow. If you need to get up at night, take the flashlight with you."
After Su Mingzhe said that, Luo Yuzhu realized that she had to go to the toilet. She didn't bother to argue with Su Mingzhe, put on her coat, took the flashlight and went out.
When Luo Yuzhu came out of the bathroom, Su Mingzhe had already started cooking in the kitchen.
"hungry?"
Su Mingzhe heard the woman's stomach making noises behind him, turned around, and couldn't help but smile: "The meal has just been cooked, wait a moment, I'll heat up some glutinous rice cakes for you."
The glutinous rice cakes were what was left over from yesterday’s banquet. Although there weren’t many, there was still a bowl.
"I'll light the fire."
Luo Yuzhu has made up her mind. Since the man in front of her keeps his word and does not take advantage of her and behave inappropriately, she will live with him for a few years. When she is older and has saved some money, she will find a way to leave here.
She also didn't like owing others anything. Thinking that her status as the daughter-in-law of the Su family was not important, she felt embarrassed to eat for free, so she took the initiative to walk into the kitchen and started to help Su Mingzhe.
After a while, Luo Yuzhu lit the fire, and Su Mingzhe also cooked the rice porridge. He put the glutinous rice cakes in a bowl and placed them on the grate.
"Jiang He and I both have rice porridge, steamed buns, and braised pork with pork belly for breakfast. The rice porridge needs to be cooked for a while longer so that it will be thick and fragrant. The braised pork belly and steamed buns are steamed the afternoon before..."
She didn't know if the man did it on purpose, but a few words aroused Luo Yuzhu's appetite, and the rumbling sounds became more and more frequent.
To ease the awkwardness, Luo Yuzhu interrupted and asked, "Do you and your brother get up so early every morning?"
"Yes, we martial artists get up earlier than the sun so that we can absorb the purple air coming from the east. You don't know what the purple air coming from the east is, right? The purple air coming from the east is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when the yin and yang of heaven and earth are just beginning to form, when the energy of Taiyin and the energy of Shaoyang combine..."
"What's with all the yin and yang, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? It's just a mystery."
Luo Yuzhu chatted with Su Mingzhe for a few words. Although she complained about men, when she really talked about family matters with men, she found that Su Mingzhe was not that hateful after all.
In particular, when Su Mingzhe brought a bowl of glutinous rice cakes out of the pot, Luo Yuzhu suddenly realized that it was not impossible for her to stay in the Su's house.
After eating two pieces of glutinous rice cakes, Luo Yuzhu was no longer so hungry and asked the man to put the remaining glutinous rice cakes back into the pot.
It is not very good for her, the elder sister-in-law, to eat secretly before her brother-in-law Chen Jianghe comes back.
On the other side, Su Mingzhe put another steamed dish in the pot.
"I'll boil the pot, you go wash your face and brush your teeth. I bought you a new toothbrush, the one in the pink plastic cup."
Su Mingzhe turned a bathroom into a washroom in the place where firewood was originally stored so that people can take a bath in the summer.
You can also wash up at ordinary times.
Luo Yuzhu went in and turned on the light in the bathroom, and saw a pink cup that had been prepared long ago, with a pink toothbrush inside.
This little thing that Su Mingzhe did touched Luo Yuzhu's heart to some extent.
When she walked out of the bathroom, the sky became a little brighter.
I walked around the Su family's yard. The yard was not big and the layout was similar to that of the Luo family's. There was nothing interesting to see.
So, Luo Yuzhu turned around and returned to the kitchen.
The rich aroma of braised pork mixed with the fragrance of steamed buns entered her nostrils. Luo Yuzhu, who had just eaten two pieces of glutinous rice cakes, felt hungry again. Fortunately, her stomach did not growl this time, which saved her embarrassment.
At this moment, there was a noise coming from next door. Luo Yuzhu asked for something to talk about:
"Whose family is next door?"
"That's our Uncle Chao Jing's family. Grandpa is the second oldest, and Uncle Chao Jing is the fourth uncle's youngest son."
Although Su Mingzhe's house and Su Chaojing's house are separated by a wall, both of them live in the alley. Su Mingzhe's door faces east, while Su Chaojing's door faces west. The wall separates the two houses.
If Su Mingzhe's family wants to go to Su Chaojing's family, they need to walk out of the alley, walk south for two houses to the main road, then turn west and turn north.
On weekdays, Su Mingzhe and Su Chaojing chatted across the wall, and borrowed things across the wall.
It’s quite convenient to say.
"What about across the road to the east?"
"That's Uncle Jianjun's family, their surname is Zheng..."
Su Mingzhe also noticed that Luo Yuzhu wanted to chat more to ease the awkwardness of yesterday.
Su Mingzhe simply introduced her to the neighbors around her, as well as the Su family members.
The first generation to settle in Pujiang was Su Mingzhe’s grandfather’s grandfather, also known as great-grandfather, who came from the north.
Later, the great-grandfather had three sons, the second of whom was Su Mingzhe's great-grandfather.
These three branches gave rise to eight other families, namely the eight brothers Su Mutou, Su Shitou and others, who were the grandfathers of Su Mingzhe.
Most of these grandparents died during the Republic of China period, and only two are still alive now.
Tomorrow Luo Yuzhu will return to her parents' home after three days' absence. She will go to kowtow and greet these two grandfathers.
Su Mingzhe's uncles and aunts were originally quite prosperous, with as many as fifty or sixty people, but many of them died. Later, many of them left to support construction in other places, and finally only sixteen people were left in Pujiang.
By the time of Su Mingzhe's generation, there were not many male descendants, only about twenty or so.
The oldest among them is Uncle Chaocheng’s eldest son, Su Minglin, who is 32 years old and already has two sons and one daughter.
Su Mingzhe talked a lot, and if Luo Yuzhu wanted to remember it, she would need to spend more time with the tribesmen.
