Chapter 143 Chen Wen wakes up
Everyone was happy the whole day because they shared the money.
After lunch, those who were tired rested early, and the rest sat together to mend clothes. The clothes of those who participated in the encirclement and suppression today were all wet, so these heroes changed their clothes and slept soundly. Naturally, their families would dry the wet clothes for them. Fortunately, there was plenty of time and everyone could take their time.
Su He had already changed into clean clothes, dried her whole body, and sat on the kang to eat snacks. The battle in the morning made her cherish life more and enjoy life in time.
Su He took advantage of the fact that everyone in the room was his family and ate alone openly. He took out a big bag of dried pork, melon seeds and preserved fruits and placed it in front of his seat for everyone to eat together.
"Come and get some if you're hungry. Boss Su is treating us today!"
Su He originally wanted to sit in a domineering posture to match his words, but looking at the kind elder opposite him, he reluctantly chose to sit cross-legged.
"Chrysanthemum, Wen Niang, come and have some food. Liu Niang, you should also have a piece of the jerky you made yourself. It's delicious."
Liu Niang was busy mending clothes for the Wang family, and she also put Su He's wet clothes on the side, and she would dry them after the people in the kitchen left. Su He stuffed a piece of dried meat into Liu Niang's mouth, and Liu Niang smiled and looked at Su He, but she didn't refuse.
"Mrs. Liu, when you go to the kitchen later, can you make me some milk tea? Aunt Luo said that there are cows in their village that produce milk."
Su He saw Liu Niang looking over and immediately threw a wink at her. She also gave her a pack of tea leaves.
"Okay, then I'll go ask Aunt Luo for some milk now."
Liu Niang put down the work in her hands. Su He's requests always came first to her.
"Mrs. Liu, I've already paid the money, you don't have to give me any more."
Su He felt really happy thinking about the hot milk tea she would be drinking soon.
"I want one too, Lady Liu, count me in."
The little grandfather immediately raised his hand, but was knocked down by his brother the next second.
"Then let's get a few more buckets. Aunt Luo said that the milk they have too much will be poured out, so it's worthless. Let's all drink it together."
Su He looked at Liu Niang's instructions, and Liu Niang naturally had no objection.
"You're just greedy! Didn't you just have a full meal?"
The little grandfather was beaten by his brother every day, so now he was as thick-skinned as a city wall. "I'm full, so I'm full. I still have room for milk tea. Lotus girl is rich, brother, why are you so stingy?"
He was greeted with several more slaps.
The people around have become accustomed to it, even his own son sat aside and chatted. They each showed off their own silver, and the silver bars were touched until they were small, but they still felt they were not satisfied.
Su He looked at Juhua who was approaching him and felt something in his heart.
"Chrysanthemum, our old lady has a daughter in Yunhe, do you know how many children the eldest lady has?"
Juhua was happily eating jerky, and was confused by Su He's question.
"Oh, the old lady went to Yunhe. Is that also in the south?"
Su He's smile froze. It's over. This guy is even worse than me. He doesn't even know where Chen and the others have gone.
Juhua chewed the dried meat and tilted her head to think for a while, "I remember one year we got double the monthly salary. I heard from the housekeeper that the eldest daughter gave birth to a son with a single name, because the master in the mansion also had a single name. The housekeeper said that the old lady was a little unhappy, perhaps because she felt that the eldest daughter's husband's family didn't care about the name."
It’s really Wen.
Su He's heart started pounding when he heard that.
"Chrysanthemum, when did we ever receive two months' salary?"
Su He pretended not to remember, but in fact she really had no impression.
Juhua smiled, "You definitely don't remember, Lotus, you weren't even in the mansion at that time."
Wen Niang interrupted, "That was many years ago, Juhua, how come you still remember it?"
"Hehe, my father was ill at the time, and I received double the monthly salary just six months after entering the mansion. It was just right for my father's treatment, and 200 coins was just enough."
Juhua felt a little embarrassed. Money was something she valued very much, so she remembered everything about it very clearly.
She sold herself to the government because her family was burdened with heavy expenses. The money she earned helped the whole family get through the difficult winter and also allowed her younger brothers and sisters to have some meat. When Juhua first entered the government, she was young and her monthly salary was low, only 100 coins a month. At that time, she received double the monthly salary. The only thing she regretted was that her monthly salary was low. If she had received 8 coins a month like the housekeeper, she would have made a lot of money.
"How long ago was that?"
Juhua counted on her hands for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, Lotus was smart and helped her think from a different perspective.
"Then do you remember how long it took me to enter the mansion after I received the double monthly salary?"
Juhua's mind was confused, so she shook her head and tried to reorganize her thoughts.
"I remember it was one, two, three, yes, it was the third year, Lotus, you came in the third year, "
Lotus was 8 years old when she entered the mansion, and three years later, that means the eldest lady’s son was 18 years old. Lotus is now 13, so the eldest lady’s son is years old.
The boy next door also looks to be in his early teens, which makes the possibility even greater.
"Sister, someone over there is awake."
Su Miao brought Tiantian with him, and Mu Tou and Tietou followed behind him.
When Su He heard this, he was ready to get off the bed to take a look, "Chrysanthemum, come with me."
"Huh? Oh good good good."
Juhua was surprised to be called and subconsciously looked at Shunzi, who was grinning.
"Chrysanthemum, follow Lotus and lend a hand."
Juhua looked at the encouraging look in the head of the family, got out of bed quickly and followed Su He.
Wen Niang opened her mouth, but before she could say anything else, the two people had already walked out the door.
She will fall out of favor if she commits a sin.
Su He on this side was already standing in front of Chen Wen, and it was indeed him who woke up.
This kid is quite smart. He had been awake for a while before the human traffickers forced him to drink drugs last night. If it weren't for the noise made by those idiots nearby, he would have recovered more strength. Later, when the human traffickers forced him to drink drugs, he secretly spit out some of them, so he woke up the earliest.
Chen Wen opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was still a familiar place. He sighed in his heart, wondering if his mother was worried and whether she had discovered the letter he left.
When he woke up, he felt uncomfortable all over. Chen Wen moved unconsciously, and immediately heard a voice from the side.
"Brother, someone is awake!"
Chen Wen was so scared that he closed his eyes immediately and pretended to be asleep, but it was daybreak and he could see everything on the kang clearly. Miaomiao and the other little kids received Su He's request to stay here and observe this group of people and inform them immediately if there were any changes. Miaomiao and the others excitedly settled down on the kang and watched without blinking.
Chen Wen's self-righteous disguise deceived no one but himself.
Of course, someone has already cleaned up the urine in the room, otherwise these little guys wouldn't have wanted to do it.
"Open your eyes if you are awake. We are not bad people. The group of human traffickers are gone."
Su He stood in front of Chen Wen. She wanted to laugh when she saw the young man pretending to sleep, but it was no use closing his eyes because his eyes were moving around and could be seen clearly by everyone.
Chen Wen hesitated for a while, fearing that the traffickers were deceiving him, but he also knew that they had already discovered that he was awake, and it would be useless to pretend to be asleep, so he decided to cooperate and suffer a little.
"Is your grandmother's last name Chen?"
Chen Wen suddenly opened his eyes. Having closed his eyes for so long, he was no longer used to any light. As soon as he opened his eyes, he shed a lot of tears.
"who are you?"
