Cutting Hair to Become a Nun

The more Su Li thought about it, the uglier her expression became. The hand holding the knife couldn't help but become heavier and heavier, and the sound of cutting vegetables became louder and louder.

Su Qinshi, who was peeling off the steamed buns and vegetable cakes, glanced at her second brother's wife. It was easy to tell what she was thinking. That is to say, she has no daughter, otherwise she would not be much different from my second brother and his wife.

What my sister-in-law did this time was really thoughtless. If a girl was rumored to have been away for so many days, unless her family members didn't mind her being an old lady, she would have to cut her hair and become a nun.

Because of this, the family didn't dare to make it known that my sister-in-law had been away from home for so many days, and even when they went out to look for her, they did it secretly.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law has always been arrogant and rarely goes out of the yard. She also doesn't have any good sisters. For a while, no one doubted that my sister-in-law did not go out of the yard, and no one knew that my sister-in-law was not at home.

Although her mind was full of thoughts, she did not stop working at all. As she was used to working, Su Qinshi had opened and covered the pot of steamed buns in no time.

She picked it up and put it aside, and whispered to his second brother and sister-in-law as he walked away, "Don't worry, I tell you that Xiuxiu came back last night."

"She back?" Su Li paused while cutting vegetables and exclaimed uncontrollably.

"When did it happen? Sister-in-law, how can you hold your anger so well? I admire your slowness. If I hadn't been able to hold back, I would have told you earlier. When did Xiuxiu come back last night? Did my parents-in-law know? Where is she now?" Su Li threw away the knife in her hand and asked a series of questions without even taking a breath.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Su Qinshi put down the basket and quickly ran to the second sister-in-law, almost covering her mouth, "The parents-in-law don't know yet? Xiuxiu is in her own room now. Your eldest brother means to wait until the parents have breakfast before telling them."

"Dad and mom don't know yet? Well, if dad and mom knew, how could they be so calm this morning?" Su Li understood as soon as she thought about it.

"Sister, you are very thoughtful. Mom has just gotten better and hasn't eaten well for so many days. It's time to eat something before letting them know."

When Su Li got up, she passed by her sister-in-law's door and found an extra lock. She was a little puzzled, but now she figured it out. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been added by her eldest brother last night.

"It's okay, it's enough for you to know it. Don't let it leak in front of our parents later." Su Qinshi thought of her second brother's wife and couldn't help but remind them.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Although I'm quick-witted, I know the seriousness of the matter and won't say too much. It's just..."

At this point, Su Li moved her gaze towards her sister-in-law's room, "Do you want to send breakfast to her?"

This question is really against my will. What's the point of giving gifts according to her wishes? It's really unlucky to have such a willful and selfish sister-in-law. It's best to starve her for two or three days to calm her down and let her know that she is wrong. But she has an older brother and sister-in-law above her, so it's not her turn to make decisions on matters like this.

Su Qinshi also looked at her sister-in-law's room, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything through the thick earth wall. She shook her head and said, "Since your eldest brother didn't say anything, I won't send you there for the time being." Su Qinshi also want to make her sister-in-law suffer a little, so it won't be a big deal if she skips a meal.

"Okay, then I won't send it off." Su Li's mood immediately improved a lot. She quickly cut the remaining dishes, then put oil in another pot and stir-fried them.

Su Qinshi squatted on the small stove, checking her mother-in-law's medicine.

In the main room, an old woman with gray hair, pale face, and obviously ill was sitting on the bed. She was dressed neatly and moved around the room with the help of her old man. Compared with the previous two days, today's condition is obviously much better. She can get out of bed and walk around, although with the help of the old man. After being supported and walking a few laps, she sat down on the round stool exhausted, with a look of worry and gloom on her face.

"Okay, don't think too much and don't worry. Xiuxiu has always been a smart child. She has so much silver on her, so nothing should happen to her." Old Man Su persuaded his wife again.

But he knew in his heart that these were just words he said to comfort his wife. They had already searched everywhere around the village and the town. The child was smart, but she had never been far away and had no idea of ​​the dangers outside, the greed and evil of human nature, and she was carrying so much silver, which made Old Man Su even more worried. This time, the incident happened so suddenly that no one knew why. Old Man Su was also anxious, but as the head of the family, he had to keep his temper and not show it easily.

"Husband, do you think I have doted on this child too much, which is why she has become so bold that she even dared to take Su Wang's money for the exam. We saved that money for a long time. What should we do with Su Wang? Every time I think of how hard he studied, my heart aches! And how come this child doesn't know that her family is worried about her? I have given birth to an enemy!" Mrs.Su became more and more sad as she spoke. She put her fist against her heart and couldn't help crying again.

"It's okay. There are still several months left. I will find a way." Old man Su comforted his wife.

"What can you do?" It was because Mrs.Su understood it too clearly that she became depressed and sick.

"Anyway, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. It's no use being anxious now, so don't think too much. Take good care of your health, and we can work together to find a way to make money." Old man Su could only persuade.

His wife was seriously ill a few days ago, and he didn't dare to mention these words at all, for fear that touching her sadness would make her illness worse. Only now that his wife said it herself did he dare to say it.

Mrs.Su actually listened to the old man's words. The old man was right. She should not complain about herself anymore. She should get better quickly and find a way to raise money. She nodded immediately and asked the old man to help her walk more. She said that if she practiced more, her body would become stronger and her illness would be cured.

The old couple's conversation was heard by the eldest brother Su, who was delivering food to his parents outside the door. His face became serious and his displeasure with his younger sister grew stronger. He loved his sister very much, but he also knew that love has its limits. His parents doted on her too much, and they were reluctant to say even harsh words to his little sister, let alone do any hard work.

As a result, my little sister has become so lawless that she even dares to do such things as stealing money and running away from home. Fortunately, my parents have thought it through now, and they probably won't treat my sister so gently as before, otherwise my sister's temper would be really hopeless.

Taking a breath, Brother Su knocked on the door a few times and said, "Dad and Mom, it's time for breakfast. I'm coming in."

Hearing her eldest son's voice, Mrs.Su quickly wiped her tearful cheeks and moved to the square table in the room with the old man.

"Mom, you look much better today and can even get out of bed. That's great. This is the thick porridge I specially made for you. Drink it and you will get better faster." As soon as Brother Su entered the room, he immediately put on a smile on his face and pointed at the thick porridge on the tray.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Mrs.Su said to her eldest son with concern.

"Why is it so hard to take care of our parents? Didn't we brothers grow up under the care of our parents in the same way? Don't think too much, mom. The important thing is to keep your health in good shape." Brother Su said with a smile.

"You are all fine." Mrs.Su nodded with relief.
