Chapter 8 Pavement

Su Xiaozhang couldn't help but lit up his eyes. He thought his sister-in-law was going to break up and compete for the title with him today, but he seemed to have to discuss this.

"I don't understand the title of a woman. I thought it was a family, and my uncle Chengjue was no different from my son Chengjue, but..." Zhao took out a veil from his sleeve, lit the corner of his eyes, and cried for a moment, "I have held the gift for many years. I feel like a mirror in my heart. Even if I don't help, I won't let Yu'er go out to sell fish! You guys want to starve us to death!"

As he said that, Zhao began to cry loudly, crying and scolding Li for not giving Su Yu's heart to eat. He did not provide her with medicine if he didn't pay enough money every day. The poor child could not resist the shoulders and could not pick them up. He was forced to sell fish in the cold weather, and his hands and feet were frozen. It was so sad that those who saw him were crying.

Su Xiaozhang and his wife were stunned, and Su Yu was also stunned. Until the hair ball behind them came out of their collar, they came to their senses and quietly rubbed their heads with the kitten. If it weren't for the mother's words, Su Yu wouldn't have realized that he was living such a miserable life.

The two clan uncles frowned when they heard this. The Su family had been prosperous at least, and now they were so ugly. "Xiao Zhang, your brother's body is not cold yet, so you treat his widow like this. How can the clan push the title to you?"

Su Xiaozhang glared at her wife fiercely. It would be fine if she was too successful to make trouble. It would be fine to force Zhao to death. If she was too anxious, she would fight back. It would be really troublesome.

"Zhao Yuhua, please stop slandering people here. I have never lost all the medicines for these days." The aunt held her eyes and jumped up and cursed.

It would be fine if I didn't mention this. Speaking of this medicine, Zhao immediately asked Chuncao to bring the medicine residue she used every day to show the two uncles. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the medicine residue had been decomposed more than five times, and the cooking of this kind of thing was no different from white water, so how could it be said that it would cure the disease?

"The money for the medicine that Yu'er pays for you every day is enough to buy three medicines, but you only give me one in two days. If I hadn't been for my life, I would have seen the King of Hell long ago," Zhao said, covering his mouth with a veil and coughing, looking very weak, and his other hand was tightly holding the yellow silk on the table. "If I were torn to death by you like this, how could my Yu'er survive? I will definitely not let you succeed in this title!"

Su Yu's father was a second-class general of the auxiliary state. Both him and the eldest uncle Chengjue had to be demoted to two levels in a row, surpassing the second-class general of the army, and directly becoming a third-class general of the guard. Although he had no rights and was forced to participate in the war during the war, the third-class general of the guard received thirty stones of rice and one hundred and thirty cents of salary each year, which was enough to support the family.

The atmosphere became stiff for a moment. Su Xiaozhang's face was ashen and silent for a moment, and he sneered: "Based on the status of a concubine's son, Zong Zhengsi will directly seize the title of the Su family. No one will benefit from that time!"

The noble Chengjue has always been very strict. Generally speaking, he must be the eldest son. If he does not have a legitimate son, he may be judged as having no queen by Zong Zhengsi and directly removed the title. Although Su Xiaozhang gave birth to a concubine, his mother later became a legitimate son. In the genealogy, he was the legitimate son, so he had a greater grasp of the inheritance.

However, Zong Zhengsi's responsibility is to control and reduce the nobles. There are still a few more troubles to find. If Zhao makes a big deal, Zong Zhengsi will definitely not be the turn of his title once he determines that Su Xiaozhang has lost his virtue.

The grey-bearded clan uncle looked at it twice, coughed dryly, "Don't be impulsive, the Su family must not lose this title, and it is not good for Yu'er if it makes a fuss."

If the Su family has this title, they are still nobles. Without this title, the relatives of the other branches will be shameless, and the family will be completely defeated.

An Hongche lay on Su Yu's shoulder and yawned. The Su family had such virtues. What else could you fight for in this title? If you serve me well, you can be granted a title as a duke.

"There is still a 500 tael of silver to cut the title. Build a farmhouse, which is enough to support us mother and mother." Zhao stopped crying, and she drank the tears in two seconds. She leisurely folded the yellow silk and put it in the box.

Su Xiaozhang became nervous. According to convention, he would indeed give some money to the royal family. It was the last grace of the royal family. It was not necessarily five hundred taels of silver, but there were still two or three hundred taels.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, and he seemed to understand what his mother meant.

"My brother and sister, we are a family, why bother so much?" Su Xiaozhang reluctantly showed a smile. "The Su family is prosperous and prosperous. This title has a salary every year. Can you reduce your food and drink?"

If this was said before, it would have been a good idea. Now it is obvious that the mother and son have no food to eat, and they will not believe it when they say that they will treat them well in the future. As soon as this was said, Su Xiaozhang himself felt that he could not continue to say it.

"The salary is all yours. If you can give us the sun, it will come out from the west," as he said, he poked his head out from outside the door. He looked five points similar to Su Xiaozhang, but he looked so dirty that he didn't look so energetic. "If you want me to say it, you will lose your title, and you will have to give me 30% of the five hundred taels of silver!"

"You..." Su Xiaozhang almost turned his back when he saw the visitor. "You still have the face to say that the family is so poor now, it's all because of you!"

This person is Su Yu's third uncle, Su Xiaoxian. He is idle on weekdays. He caused a big disaster a few years ago. Su Yu's father sold his family's farm to settle the matter. This is also the main reason why the Su family is getting worse and worse.

"Hmph, I didn't say I asked my second brother to save me. Have you ever asked me after you sold the farm? That's my ancestral property, and I also have one of my shares! Now if you want to be a general, you have to give me the one I deserve!" Uncle San squatted at the door with his hands in his arms, stuttering his neck.

Seeing that his brother-in-law came, Zhao sneered: "I sold my land two years ago. There is a farm in the western suburbs and several shops on the east street. It is not impossible for my uncle to inherit the title. I will share these properties for us so that we can have some food."

When Su Xiaoxian heard this, his eyes lit up and he stood up: "What's wrong? There is a village in the western suburbs? Brother, are you planning to take over the family business alone!"

After Uncle San was disturbed, the main hall became more and more lively, and Su Xiaozhang was so angry that he was breathing heavily.

An Hongche had long been impatient and kept scratching Su Yu's clothes with his claws. His Majesty, who had no breakfast, was in a bad mood. Su Yu couldn't, so he quietly reached out and pulled the cat's tail to make him quiet. The kitten immediately jumped on his other shoulder and continued to scratch.

"Let's do this," Zhao finally spoke, "I don't know anything, a woman, I just want to be able to eat and wear well. Give Yu'er two shops on the East Street. I will follow Yu'er in the future, and my uncle and uncle will discuss the title."

Su Yu was stunned. The shop on East Street? The Su family actually had a shop on East Street!

East Street is the main street of East City, which is very prosperous. If you can open a tavern there, your business will be booming. This is really a sleepy encounter with a pillow!

Su Xiaozhang was so anxious that he suddenly turned around and responded without thinking: "Yes!"

"How can that be! That's the most valuable thing in the Su family!" The eldest aunt Li screamed. It was the shop she got after she had planned to get the money. Without these two shops, they had to go around to give gifts to earn their titles. Where can they get money?

"What do you know!" Su Xiaozhang winked.

After a morning of nod, he finally took the account book under the witness of his two clan uncles and simply divided the property. The title was not determined and the family could not be divided. He just transferred the shop on the books to Su Yu and counted it as his private property. Su Xiaozhang asked Su Yu to sign and seal the document and gave up the title of Cheng Jue.

Su Yu didn't care, and Zhao didn't stop him.

An Hongche looked at the farce coldly and felt worse and worse. This stupid slave was so easy to bully!

"We can't set up a stall today, let's eat these squids." Su Yu looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. The squid had not been marinated yet, so there was no time to set up a stall.

An Hongche squatted on the chopping board, glanced at him, turned around and took his butt at Su Yu. Stupid slave, without a title, how can I get promoted and made a fortune for you in the future? How can I be happy?

Su Yu poked his soft cat's butt with his finger, "Hey, sauce, let's go and see those two shops. If the location is good, you can open a restaurant."

After lunch, Su Yu excitedly took the cat to see the shop.

After noon, East Street was not deserted at all, and it was still very lively. Su Yu searched for a while but couldn't find the address recorded in the account.

"No. 101 East Street..." Su Yu stared at the between No. 100 and No. 102 for a while. No. 100 was a pawn shop, No. 102 was a silk shop, No. 101 was a... a small alley... there was no shop, only a small alley, No. 101 seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, "It could not be demolished!"

"Meow..." The kitten on his shoulder glanced at the silly Su Yu, shook his tail, jumped onto the pawnshop's door, pulled it out from the corner of the eaves, and pulled out a gray brand.

Only then did Su Yu discover that there was a three-foot-wide small door on the edge of the pawnshop, which was not connected to the pawnshop. He went up to ask and found out that this was Shop No. 101.

Su Yu: "…"

In fact, the shop is not small, and it is indeed two large rooms, but they are both on the second floor. There is only such a small door on the first floor. When you enter, you will be a ladder and you can't do business at all. Therefore, you have always rented it to a pawnshop for warehouses.

Su Yu stared at the shop for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. The small stairwell was next to the alley. If he wanted to do business on the second floor, the staircase could not be placed like this. If he made a distinctive external staircase, he would hang a conspicuous sign and decorate it carefully, he might even be particularly obsessed. However, after this, the cost of decoration would be much higher than that of the first floor shop. He would have no money to do the beautiful spiral staircase.

He took the cat home dejectedly, and Su Yu changed back and forth between heaven and hell this day, both physically and mentally exhausted.

"Sauce, I'm so poor..." Su Yu buried his nose in the cat hair and hummed. Looking at the golden hair, he felt that it was shining gold. "Lend me some money, I'll be a cat slave for you for the rest of your life..."
