When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

"I don't care. My son Shitou is going to have a wife today. I think it should be Su Tao." Shitou's mother sat in the main hall of the Su family with her neck stiffened and said to Old Lady Su.

Touching the scratches on her face, Shi Tou Niang glared at Tian Aixiang hatefully. It seemed that there was no hope for the second girl in the old Su family. Only the third girl was left. Wait, wait until she brings that dead girl Su Tao home and see how she tortures this little bitch.

"No, my third daughter can't marry into your family." Tian Aixiang glared back fiercely. The scratches on her face hurt. Although she valued her son more, her daughter was also her flesh and blood. Even if she didn't like her daughter, she would never let her daughter marry a fool. In the end, she would get nothing in return.

"You must die before I can marry that black idiot from your family!" Su Tao looked at Shi Tou Niang with hatred and screamed.

"You stupid girl, then you die first and see." Shitou's mother shouted at Su Tao, then turned to look at Old Lady Su: "Aunt Su, I have already paid the betrothal money. Our Shitou was tricked into her house by your girl Su Tao, and it was not our Shitou who was in trouble. You have to give me an explanation for this matter."

Old Mrs. Su was feeling vexed at the moment. In fact, if it were up to her, she would just send Su Tao to the Sun family. As for the future son-in-law from the county town, she didn't think about it anymore. After all, almost the entire Lihua Village knew that Su Tao and Shi Tou were blocked in the house, and their Lihua Village was not very far from the county town. If people from the county town came to the village to inquire about Su Tao, it would be certain that which good family would want such a daughter-in-law?

At least by sending Su Tao to the Sun family, she could get 260 yuan as a betrothal gift.

But Su Tao actually learned to go to the Women's Federation and the Public Security Bureau, or else she would threaten to commit suicide. This damn girl, she really doesn't learn good things, but will definitely learn bad things!

"Aunt Su, you have to give me a definite answer!" Seeing that Old Lady Su had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, Shi Tou Niang asked again.

"This..." Just as Mrs. Su was about to speak, Old Man Su came out from the inner room and said to Shitou's mother, "Shitou's mother, let's call off this marriage."

Shitou's mother got anxious when she heard this: "How can that be? My family gave you 260 yuan as a betrothal gift. Oh, you took the betrothal gift, and I told my son Shitou that he was going to have a wife. Now you are not counting it. What's going on?"

"You've seen it too. Today our village's captain and village party secretary are here. The matter of the second girl has already caused a lot of uproar. If the matter of the third girl causes any more trouble, our Su family won't be able to stay in the village. So, let's forget about it and find another wife for your son Shitou."

Old man Su was also upset. He didn't want to go to the Women's Federation and the Public Security Bureau. It would be even more embarrassing if he really went there.

After that, Old Man Su said to Old Lady Su, "Return the betrothal money to the Sun family, and let's end this matter."

"But my Shitou and your Sanyatou..."

Before Shitou's mother could finish her words, Old Man Su said, "Shitou from your family went to the wrong room in the middle of the night. We haven't even bothered about him ruining the reputation of our third daughter. Shitou's mother, if you agree to return the betrothal money, we can settle it privately. If not, we can meet at the Public Security Bureau."

Old Man Su was certain that Shi Tou Niang would not dare to see the official.

Sure enough, hearing what Old Man Su said, Shitou's mother gritted her teeth in hatred and said, "Okay, let's just leave today's matter alone. Humph, I'm so blind that I actually want to become a relative with a family like yours. Bah, your girl is not worthy of my Shitou."

Not to mention that ordinary people are afraid of seeing officials, even if this matter really goes to the public security bureau, it will definitely be the Sun family that suffers. Shi Tou Niang understands this.

"Old woman, go get the money." Seeing that Old Lady Su didn't move, Old Man Su glared at her and said.

After Old Man Su spoke, Old Lady Su had no choice but to return the betrothal money to Shi Tou Niang. Thinking of the five hundred yuan she had extorted from Su Qing, and the two hundred and sixty yuan she had to give back to the Sun family, a total of seven or eight hundred yuan was gone in one day. Old Lady Su felt a pain in her heart and became even more angry with Su Qing.

Seeing that Old Man Su returned the betrothal money, Su Tao breathed a sigh of relief. She looked in the direction of Su Qing's house, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Shitou's mother took back the betrothal money and left Lihua Village with Shitou cursing at her. Su Tao was locked in the room by Tian Aixiang and beaten severely. She couldn't get out of bed for two or three days.

Su Tao's cries after being beaten were naturally heard clearly by Su Qing, who lived next door to the old Su's house. She glanced in the direction of the old Su's house and raised her eyebrows slightly. Compared with the injuries her original body had suffered, this was nothing. She also knew that the people in the old Su's family must hate her to the core now, but it didn't matter. Su Qing didn't care what the people in the old Su's family thought of her now. Her most important thing now was to think about her dinner and her future life!

The stove and the pot were ready. When the family divided the property today, Zhao Youcai forced the Su family to give her some food. In the end, the Su family only gave her a small bag of cornmeal and half a bag of sweet potatoes, and no more.

Zhao Youcai took charge and lent her 20 kilograms of cornmeal and 10 kilograms of sweet potatoes in the name of the village. When the grain was distributed, the money would be deducted from the money. Then the aunties and sisters in the village gave her some vegetables. Aunt Tao even gave her two pickled cabbage lumps specially, and Aunt Cuihua gave her half a jar of salt.

Su Qing kept in mind the help from the villagers, and secretly thought that she would repay them in the future.

These grains, combined with wild vegetables and other things, could last until the end of October when grain was distributed. But Su Qing pursed her lips. She couldn't get used to these coarse grains!

She wants to eat meat!

Even in the end of the world, she had never suffered a loss thanks to her wood-related abilities. It didn't make sense for her to have to eat coarse food in a peaceful era!

Well, it was 1978 now. If she remembered correctly, individuals would be allowed to run small businesses at the beginning of next year. Although there were still a few months left, there were signs of relaxation in all aspects. It was not as strict as before. Perhaps she could start from this aspect and improve her life.

Su Qing pursed her lips and turned to look in the direction of Baihua Mountain outside the village. Lihua Village is next to the mountain and the villagers depend on the mountain for their livelihood. Thanks to Baihua Mountain, even during the great famine, no one in Lihua Village starved to death.

Su Qing looked at Baihua Mountain with a smile. It was good to have mountains. As a wood element person, she liked mountains the most. The mountains and forests were her playground.

After figuring out the way forward, Su Qing felt even better. She hummed a song while cooking a pot of cornmeal porridge, put a few sweet potatoes in it, and cut the wild vegetables sent by the aunts and sisters and threw them into the pot. A simple pot of wild vegetable and sweet potato porridge was ready. She ate it with chopped pickled vegetables. Hmm, it tasted pretty good.

The next day, Su Qing went to work and earned work points as usual. She was proficient in these tasks, so it was not difficult for Su Qing. Besides, she didn't want the villagers to notice her difference all of a sudden, after all, it was difficult to explain.

As soon as she got off work in the afternoon, she headed straight for Baihua Mountain with a backpack on her back. Some aunts and sisters saw Su Qing going into the mountain and thought she was going to pick wild vegetables, so they all warned her not to go into the inner area of ​​Baihua Mountain and to be careful.

Su Qing responded to all these well-intentioned advices with a smile. She chose a less crowded direction to enter the mountain, hoping to get to know the situation of Baihua Mountain first. However, as soon as she turned a corner, a stone hit her in the face.
