Chapter 110: No one wants to be cheated

"Okay, let's go back and eat." Yan's mother helped Yan Mingde carry his schoolbag. "Let's ignore them. They are not good people."

Xu Ruyun listened to Yan's mother and Yan Mingde criticizing them. Yan Yanran was unhappy and wanted to rush over, but was held back by Xu Ruyun.

"Mom, they..."

"Let's go back." Xu Ruyun pulled Yan Yanran and they got into the car together.

When they got in the car, Yan Yanran was very unhappy, "Mom, why don't you let me say it, I..."

"Don't worry about Yan Mingde. He is your brother, but you can see that with his attitude, he can't be good to you. If he is not good to you, don't be too good to him. You don't owe him anything." Xu Ruyun said, "Your parents owe him. We took him away by his grandmother when he was very young, and that's why he became like this."

Xu Ruyun couldn't tell her child that she was going to treat Yan Mingde badly, because that would have a very bad influence on the child. Xu Ruyun wanted to let the child know that parents would never give up on their children unless the child behaved too badly. "Although you are from the same school, you don't have to pay too much attention to him, do you hear me?" Xu Ruyun said.

"Mom, are we just going to let him stay like this forever?" Yan Yanran said.

"He is spoiled by his grandmother and great-grandmother." Xu Ruyun said, "If you make him unhappy, his grandmother and great-grandmother will also be unhappy. Don't think that his grandmother and great-grandmother are also your grandmother and great-grandmother, but you are a girl, and you didn't grow up with them. They are partial to Yan Mingde. If you go against Yan Mingde, you will only suffer, understand? Mom doesn't want you to suffer."

Xu Ruyun gently stroked her daughter's head. There was only one Yan Mingde. She had more than one son.

"You still have a younger brother. Your younger brother will treat you well." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't worry about your brother."

"Yeah." Yan Yanran nodded, "I just think he went too far, too far."

"We all know whether it's excessive or not." Xu Ruyun said, "Isn't there anything we can do about it? Your grandma has such a bad temper. With your brother here, your grandma can focus on your brother and save a lot of trouble. Don't provoke your brother, and don't help him. Just protect yourself."

Xu Ruyun never told Yan Yanran to help her brother or her younger brother. If they help, they should help each other. Xu Ruyun thought of Amelia Su. Amelia Su really favors boys over girls. When Xu Ruyun went to visit Xu's mother, Xu's mother also talked about Amelia Su's behavior.

In her past and present lives, Xu Ruyun has a daughter. She doesn't want her daughter to become a vassal of her son, and she doesn't want her daughter to suffer. Her daughter was born after ten months of pregnancy, and she is a piece of flesh that fell from her body. Xu Ruyun can't let her daughter always sacrifice for her son and lose her self.

"I understand." Yan Yanran said.

When Yan Yichen learned about the relationship between Yan Yanran and Yan Mingde, he told Yan Yanran not to get too close to Yan Mingde. It's not that Yan Yichen didn't want his eldest son to be better, but the current situation is that his eldest son has a bad temper and they have no way to make his temper better.

When Yan Yichen went to the Yan family to see the eldest son, the eldest son's attitude towards him as a father was not very good, not to mention others. You should know that when Yan's mother taught Yan Mingde, she always said that Xu Ruyun's family background was not good, and that Xu Ruyun had implicated Yan Yichen and Yan Mingde.

Yan Mingde just thought that it was because his biological mother’s family background was not good, so those other kids didn’t want to play with him.

In fact, it was Yan's mother who offended many people. It was useless for Yan Yichen to apologize. Yan Yichen apologized while Yan's mother offended people. Those people naturally could not be too nice to Yan's mother, and the same was true for Yan Mingde. Then, Yan Mingde listened to Yan's mother and blamed his biological mother. If his biological mother had a good family background, he could also be like others, surrounded by stars.

Yan Yanran still felt unhappy after hearing what her father said.

"My brother's attitude towards mom is so bad." Yan Yanran said, "It's as if mom is not his mother."

"Don't worry about your brother." Yan Yichen said, "Just treat mom as mom."

"Dad, when you see your brother, your brother will still call you dad." Yan Yanran went back to the Yan family with Yan Yichen. Yan Mingde would call Yan Yichen when he saw him, and Yan's mother also asked Yan Mingde to call Yan Yichen dad.

"..." When Yan Yichen heard this, he didn't know what to say.

"Your father is your grandmother's biological son." Xu Ruyun said, "Of course your grandmother will let your brother call you dad. Well, you are just a kid, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter who your brother calls you, just study hard."

"I..." Yan Yanran pouted, she was still not very happy.

"Don't be unhappy." Xu Ruyun said, "I'll make your favorite peanut soup tonight."

"Oh." Yan Yanran pouted. She didn't like peanut soup that much.

Yan Yanran and his sister went to the same school as Ning Wenjun. When Su Xueqing went to pick up little Wenjun, she happened to see Xu Ruyun and the others, and also saw Yan Mingde's behavior. Yan Mingde was raised crooked by his mother, and he treated his biological mother and sister like this. When Yan Mingde grows up, he will treat his biological mother even worse. It's no wonder that Xu Ruyun wanted to have another child so early.

Su Xueqing didn't say much about Yan Mingde in front of Xiao Wenjun. She only told him about it at night when she was in the room with Ning Yanjing.

"They didn't talk much before." Ning Yanjing went to pick up Xiao Wenjun and saw Yan Mingde and his people. Yan Mingde didn't even say hello to his own mother and sister.

"I haven't heard you say that." Su Xueqing said.

"It's not important." Ning Yanjing said, "The Yan family's affairs have nothing to do with us. Our daughter is in the same school as them. At most, they are alumni."

"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "Xiao Junjun also said today that they are weird."

Su Xueqing briefly told Xiao Wenjun that she should not get close to the Yan family or play with the Yan family's children. The older generation would still care about the face of the two families, but Su Xueqing didn't care about that.

Xiao Wenjun is too close to the Yan family, and will only be used by them. No matter the heroine Xu Ruyun or the hero Yan Yichen, they both value interests more. Only interests are the most important thing, and family love is not important at all. Xiao Wenjun is easily at a disadvantage in front of the Yan family. Su Xueqing makes Xiao Wenjun understand that not everyone in the world is good. Some people are very bad and can make trouble.

Fortunately, Xiao Wenjun listened to Su Xueqing very much. Xiao Wenjun felt that her mother would not harm her, so she just listened to her mother. Children who don't listen to their mothers are likely to suffer losses outside and cry if they are not careful. Xiao Wenjun said that she didn't want to cry.

"They are in the same school, so it is inevitable that they will have some contact." Su Xueqing said, "We still have to talk to Xiao Junjun. It won't work if we don't say anything and let her run into it on her own. Even if Xiao Junjun doesn't contact those people, they will still try to get close to her."

The Ning family is powerful, and many people want to get close to them. Although Xiao Wenjun is still in elementary school, many people were told by their parents what to do when they were in elementary school. Many of the children who played together came from similar families, and those with poorer families also tried hard to find children with better families to play with.

"You're right." Ning Yanjing said, "It's time to talk to Xiao Junjun. Xiao Junjun prefers to talk to you about school matters and less to me."

"That's because you are the father, you are a man." Su Xueqing said, "Xiao Junjun is a girl, so she prefers to talk to her mother."

Ning Yanjing sometimes behaved more seriously, so Xiao Wenjun was embarrassed to tell Ning Yanjing those gossips, so she told her mother more. Su Xueqing was very patient and did not think her daughter was just talking nonsense. She would also provide emotional value to her daughter, which made her daughter very satisfied.

"Junjun is still young, she will tell me more now, but when she grows up, it may not be the same." Su Xueqing said, "When we grow up, there are some things we don't tell our parents, but keep in our hearts."

"Listen more while she is still young." Ning Yanjing said.

"Children grow up so fast. She was born in 1985, and it's already 1992." Su Xueqing sighed. In a flash, seven years had passed.

Su Xueqing is almost 30 years old, and time has passed too quickly. Su Xueqing still remembers when she first went to college, and it felt like she was in college just yesterday.

"Are you afraid of getting old?" Ning Yanjing asked.

"I'm afraid of getting old, so can I not get old?" Su Xueqing raised her eyebrows, "I still have to get old when it's time to get old."

"I'm older than you." Ning Yanjing said.

"..." Su Xueqing looked at Ning Yanjing. Of course, Ning Yanjing was older than Su Xueqing.

Many children are unwilling to play with Yan Mingde. Their school has kindergarten to high school. It can be said that children can go to kindergarten and then go to high school. In the meantime, they need to take the high school entrance examination and there will be diversion, but as long as they have enough money, they can go to high school without any problem.

Yan's mother wanted Yan Mingde to play with those children from wealthy families, so she took Yan Mingde there, but they wouldn't let him go at all. They said that adults' affairs shouldn't involve children, that was all fake.

With Yan's mother's temper, what kind of child can she educate? Everyone knows that Yan Mingde has a bad temper. Other people's children are also spoiled when they grow up. Why should they let their own children give in to Yan Mingde?

Before, when Yan Mingde got upset, there were kids playing with him. Yan Mingde would pick up something nearby and throw it at them. Yan Mingde would even push them down and kick them. It would be fine if they had a bad family background, but they wanted to get close to the Yan family. Those with a good family background naturally didn't want their children to suffer.

Yan's mother looked down on children from poor family backgrounds and she wanted her children to make friends with people of higher status.

"Our children are not suitable to play with your children." Someone said this directly.

Yan's mother's former friend didn't give her any face. Her friend thought that if she gave Yan's mother face, her son and daughter-in-law would blame her, and she would have no status in the family. For the sake of family harmony, it is better not to let the children play with Yan Mingde. They all know what kind of bad temper Yan Mingde has, and if they let their children play with Yan Mingde, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

This made Yan's mother very angry. Who the hell do these people think they are? How dare they say such things?

When they got home, Yan's mother angrily complained to Old Lady Yan, "How dare they look down on our family?"

"They really look down on our family." Old Mrs. Yan said, "Our Yan family only runs a small factory and does not have much ability."

In the eyes of others, the Yan family just has a small business, and Old Lady Yan sees it clearly. It's not that Yan Yichen doesn't want to develop other things, but to develop other things, it also depends on whether he has the ability. If he wants this and that, he is afraid that he will not get anything in the end. It is better to specialize in a certain industry, which may be better.

"Mom, you are helping them to be more ambitious," said Yan's mother.

"This is the truth." Old Madam Yan said, "Our family has never been as good as it used to be. Your temper... even if I ask you to change, you can't. You offend people when you go out. Others don't play with Mingde, and Mingde doesn't play with them."

"But……"

"There aren't that many buts." Old Lady Yan said, "It's not like there's no one to play with Mingde. Mingde still has friends to play with."

"Those people's family backgrounds are too poor, they won't be able to help Mingde in the future." Yan's mother considered this point. Those people couldn't help Yan Mingde, and they wanted Yan Mingde to help them, so their family would suffer a great loss. How could their family suffer a great loss? They should take advantage and let others help them.

"In front of those people with good family backgrounds, Mingde has to be humble and modest. Can he do it?" said Old Lady Yan.

"Everyone is equal, they..."

"You said that everyone is equal, so why do you look down on those with bad family backgrounds?" Old Lady Yan said, "You can look down on those with bad family backgrounds, but those with better family backgrounds than Mingde can look down on Mingde."

"They...our Yan family will be fine. We used to...if our family wasn't like this now, would our Mingde play with their children?" Mother Yan's face was full of disdain.

Old Lady Yan only needed to look at the expression on Yan's mother's face to know why others didn't let their children play with Yan Mingde. It was obviously because Yan Mingde's family was not good and Yan Mingde was trying to climb up the social ladder, but Yan's mother was still giving alms, how could others tolerate it? Others were not fools, and they didn't have to flatter Yan Mingde.

Yan Mingde is Yan's mother's beloved grandson, not someone else's beloved grandson.

"In the past, that was a long time ago. Don't always talk about the past. You should look at the present." Old Lady Yan said, "If you have time, you should let Mingde meet his younger brothers and sisters and let him play with them."

Old Lady Yan knew that Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen were training the younger one, and that Yan Mingde would definitely be excluded by his younger siblings in the future. Old Lady Yan knew it without having to think too much. Yan Mingde had a bad temper and a bad attitude towards his younger siblings. He didn't act like a big brother at all.

"Let them come over, don't let Mingde go over there." Yan's mother said, "With Xu Ruyun's personality, what kind of children can she teach? The younger sister calls her brother by his name, and doesn't even know how to call him brother. They..."

"Okay." Old Lady Yan understood that Yan Mingde was probably ignoring his sister. Yan Mingde didn't even pay much attention to his own mother, so how could he pay much attention to his sister? "I asked you to take him to play with his younger brothers and sisters, but you are so talkative."

"Mom, Xu Ruyun is really bad." Yan's mother said, "I suspect she said bad things about Mingde in front of the other two children, asking them not to play with Mingde."

"Mingde is their biological brother, Xu Ruyun's biological son." Old Lady Yan said, "But you, you always say those things in front of Mingde, making Mingde dislike his brothers and sisters."

"It's not my problem..." Yan's mother couldn't admit that it was her fault. After talking about it, in the end, Yan's mother thought it was Xu Ruyun's fault. If Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen hadn't married, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

At the end of the year, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Wei Shanshan lived in Amelia Su's one-bedroom apartment instead of Amelia Su's home. When eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Wei Shanshan went back to eat, and at other times, Wei Shanshan did not go back.

Amelia Su thinks that Wei Shanshan is not good at staying at home, and Wei Shanshan doesn't know how to do more for the family. She clearly treats the house as an inn, coming and going as she pleases. Su's mother and others are unwilling to listen to Amelia Su's criticism of Wei Shanshan. Su's mother has talked to Amelia Su many times, asking her to be nicer to Wei Shanshan, but Amelia Su still refuses.

Yan Yichen took the two children to Yan's house for lunch, and went back to have dinner with Xu Ruyun in the evening.

After so many years, Yan's mother still does not approve of Xu Ruyun. Even though Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen are married and are a legal couple, Yan's mother still looks down on Xu Ruyun.

When Xu's mother learned that Xu Ruyun still couldn't have the New Year's Eve dinner at Yan's house, she was very unhappy. In front of Xu Ruyun, Xu's mother said something about Yan's house with a stern face.

Yan Yichen was not at home. If Yan Yichen was at home, Xu's mother would not dare to tell Xu Ruyun.

"What's wrong with your mother-in-law? You and Yan Yichen have been married for so many years." Mother Xu said, "Why does she still treat you like that?"

"Don't worry about her." Xu Ruyun said.

"I want to ignore it." Xu's mother said, "You are so distressing."

"What's there to be sad about?" Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, look, I live in a big house, wear new clothes, and have a pair of children by my side."

"Mingde's side..."

"Mingde, he is the beloved grandson of Yan Yichen's mother." Xu Ruyun said, "When he saw me, he didn't even say hello to me."

"You...you've never thought about changing him?" asked Xu's mother.

"It can't be changed." Xu Ruyun said, "As long as he stays with his grandmother, he will never change. We won't bother with it. It's pointless. It's better to let him stay with his grandmother and do whatever his grandmother says."

Xu Ruyun knew what Yan's mother was thinking, and she didn't care what she thought. Did Yan's mother think that if she raised Yan Mingde, Yan Mingde would be able to inherit the Yan family? What era is it now? There is no such thing as the eldest son. There is only one biological mother and one biological father, and it still depends on whether the child is pleasing to the parents.

The factory was not under the name of Yan's mother, so she had no right to make the decision. To put it bluntly, Yan's mother was old and would have to pass away one day. Then, wouldn't Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun still have to make the decision?

Xu Ruyun was not afraid of Yan's mother at all. They did not live under the same roof, which could reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

"Mom, I didn't go there for the New Year. It doesn't matter. Really, I don't care." Xu Ruyun said.

"You really don't care?" Xu's mother frowned.

"I really don't care." Xu Ruyun said, "When I married Yan Yichen, I knew what I wanted, and Yan Yichen also knew what he wanted."

There is no deep love between Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen. They both know that they both have their own desires. Xu Ruyun thinks it is okay that there is no deep love between them. Yan Yichen is not a person who values love. If there is so-called deep love between two people, I am afraid that one of them will get hurt. Without deep love, they will not be so easily hurt. They just need to keep a sense of propriety between each other.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this." Xu Ruyun said, "My eldest brother and his wife's children have grown up, and they can no longer live in the house. What do you think?"

"What are you thinking..." Xu's mother didn't think about moving out. If she did, even if they were in the same city, the neighbors would change, and she would feel uncomfortable. "Your eldest brother and his wife want to buy a house, but our place is a little small after all."

"Then buy it." Xu Ruyun said, "Buy a house as soon as possible and move out as soon as possible. You and dad can still live in the alley. There are neighbors you know on both sides, and you can live more comfortably."

Xu Ruyun understood her mother's thoughts. Living in a familiar place with people she knew was always better than having to adapt to a new place.

"My elder brother and his wife must have saved a lot of money from selling things at the stall over the years," said Xu Ruyun.

"They have saved money, but your father and I still have to pay a portion." Xu's mother said, "When your second brother bought a house, we paid a portion. When your eldest brother bought a house, we have to pay for it."

"If you really pay, how will this old house be divided in the future?" Xu Ruyun asked, "If we divide it in the future, do we have to give a share to my second brother?"

"This..." Xu's mother did not expect this.

"But it's too early. Don't think too much. It's more important to live your life well." Xu Ruyun said, "Let them buy a house and live separately. It's still good."

"The Su family next door bought a house a long time ago, but they didn't move in. They still live in their current house." Xu's mother said, "They rent out the house they bought. They bought one a few years ago, and another one last year. They have a lot of money, so they bought this way."

"My family has money, but we don't know what to do, so we just buy a house." Xu Ruyun said, "It's also good to buy a house and rent it out."

"Wouldn't there be interest if you put money in the bank?" said Xu's mother.

"Mom, do you know how expensive the houses near the development zone are now?" Xu Ruyun said, "They bought the house in the early years and got discounts from their company. The house price has increased a lot, and they made money. The rent was cheaper back then, but it's more expensive now. Su Xueqing works at the Architectural Design Institute. She knows a lot. She knew where the house prices would increase before us. Didn't I tell you at the beginning? I told you to buy it, even if there was no discount, you could buy it, but you didn't."

"We didn't have money at the time, so we didn't buy it," said Xu's mother.

"If you buy it and sell it now, you can make a lot of money." Xu Ruyun said, "There is a saying that is very true, it is difficult for people to make money beyond their own cognition."

The Xu family was not so smart, nor did they know more knowledge. They could only see the little things in their hands. Xu Ruyun thought that she was not much better. She could only design hairpins and other simple things for children to play with. If it was too complicated, she could not design it. This was also the reason why Xu Ruyun had to hold on to Yan Yichen. Without Yan Yichen, Xu Ruyun could not make more money.

Tian Caixia's grades were not good, and her high school entrance exam results were very bad. Tian Caixia was going to go to a technical school, and Su Xueqing still gave Tian Caixia a red envelope.

"Her grades are so bad, why are you giving her a red envelope?" Su Yanan asked.

"It's a celebration of her high school entrance exam. It's not bad for her to go to a technical school." Su Xueqing said, "After she graduates, she can find a job."

"She... I don't know what to say about her. She went to a technical school and just muddled through." Su Yanan said, "Her grades are not good... We originally wanted to spend more money to send her to high school, but her grades are really too bad. If we spend money to send her to a private high school, I'm afraid she won't be able to do well in the future, so it's just a waste of money."

"It can't be said that it's a waste of money. Reading more is always a good thing." Su Xueqing was in Su Yanan's grocery store.

Su Yanan brought a chair to Su Xueqing and asked her to sit down. Su Yanan's husband Tian Guohua did not look for another job, but helped to manage the grocery store. When Su Yanan was at the grocery store, Tian Guohua cooked at home, so Su Yanan did not need to go back home to cook.

"When Shanshan was taking the high school entrance exam, she lived with me. After the exam, she went to a technical school, and I gave her a red envelope." Su Xueqing said, "Now give one to Caixia too."

Su Xueqing didn't want Tian Caixia to think that she was partial. It was just a red envelope, and Su Xueqing could still afford it.

"You always give out red envelopes like this. Well, you earn a lot, so you don't have to worry too much." Su Yanan said.

"It's not a matter of how much money it is, but a token of my appreciation." Su Xueqing said, "Second sister, I'll go back first. It's too hot outside."

"Go back." Su Yanan waved her hand.

Su Yanan just asked Su Xueqing to eat a popsicle, but Su Xueqing refused. Su Xueqing didn't like eating anything too cold, but grass jelly was fine. As soon as Su Xueqing left, Tian Caixia came to the grocery store.

Tian Caixia came to bring food to Su Yanan, and she happened to see Su Xueqing leaving from a distance.

"Mom, my aunt is here?" Tian Caixia said.

"Did you see it?" Su Yanan asked.

"Such a beautiful figure must be my aunt." Tian Caixia said, "No matter how others dress up, they are not as beautiful as my aunt."

"You are quite talkative." Su Yanan handed the red envelope to Tian Caixia, "Your aunt gave you this."

"Oh." Tian Caixia opened the red envelope and found sixty yuan inside. "Mom, mom, mom, look!"

"Why did your aunt give so much red envelope?" Su Yanan looked at the red envelope.

Now it is the mid-1990s, and many people's salaries have increased a lot, from hundreds of yuan a month to two or three hundred yuan, or even three or four hundred yuan. By the late 1990s, everyone's salaries will increase again.

If it was in the 1980s, sixty yuan would be a lot. In the 1990s, sixty yuan was not so valuable, but it was still a lot.

"Mom, my aunt is really willing to let you go." Tian Caixia said.

"Your aunt loves you." Su Yanan said, "Don't forget how good your aunt is to you."

"I know, I know." Tian Caixia said, "Mom, when I learn baking, I will make cakes for you and also give them to my aunt."

Tian Caixia went to a technical school to learn baking. She couldn't bear the hardship of being a nurse, and she didn't want to be a kindergarten teacher, and didn't want to face those children. Tian Caixia wanted to learn cooking, but flipping the spoon was too much of a test of her arm strength, so she simply went to learn baking, learning how to make small cakes and the like. Tian Caixia thought that after she graduated, she could make some small cakes to sell. A small cake costs a lot of money, much more expensive than steamed buns.

"That depends on whether you cook it well or not. If it's not delicious, don't give it to your aunt." Su Yanan said.

Tian Caixia was studying at a technical school, and she did not plan to live in the school dormitory, but lived at home, which could save her accommodation fees. Wei Shanshan was studying at a technical school, but she lived in the school, mainly for the convenience of studying, and she would go to the one-bedroom apartment that Su Xueqing gave her on weekends.

At this time, something happened in the Yu family. Yu Guochao's daughter, Yu Xiuxiu, was cheated of her money and got herself pregnant.

Yu Xiuxiu thought that man was a second-generation rich man, that man was very rich, that man drove a car, and wore a thick gold necklace. Yu Xiuxiu did not think much about it, she gave the man her own money, and lent him money. The man had some problems in his business, so she lent him money for turnover, and the man put the gold bars with her. The man said that the price of gold would rise sharply in the future, so he put the gold with Yu Xiuxiu first.

Yu Xiuxiu foolishly thought that she had met a man who loved her, so of course she agreed. The man also said that the gold was bought from the bank, and as long as it was sealed, there would be no problem, and he could go to the bank to exchange it for cash at any time. If they opened it and went to the bank to exchange it for cash, the bank might give them a hard time. Yu Guochao and his friends did not open it, they just looked at the appearance and thought that the gold must be real.

However, when the Yu family took the gold bars to exchange them, they found out that the gold bars were fake.

The man had already run away and was no longer in South City.

Mrs. Yu was afraid of being embarrassed and didn't want to call the police. The money was already defrauded, how could the other person return it? The person also used a fake name, and they couldn't find him. Yu Xiuxiu's belly was getting bigger, and it was difficult to get an abortion. If she did, Yu Xiuxiu would have trouble having children in the future.

So Yu Xiuxiu had no choice but to give birth to the child. This happened not until the end of the year when Su's mother told Su Xueqing that Yu Xiuxiu had given birth, and Su Xueqing only found out about it.

"Yu Xiuxiu gave birth?" Su Xueqing thought she had misheard.

"Yes, she gave birth." Su's mother said, "She was deceived and thought the man was rich. She lent him money everywhere. She got pregnant and the man disappeared. She was in the advanced stage of pregnancy and it was difficult to have an abortion, so she gave birth to a daughter."

“……” Su Xueqing was silent.

"The whole family likes to get something for nothing, always thinking that pie will fall from the sky." Su's mother said, "If pie really fell from the sky, how come no one else saw it, but they saw it? Yu Guochao and his family didn't call the police, saying it was too embarrassing. Later, it was other people who called the police, and the police found their home. It turned out that the man not only cheated Yu Xiuxiu, but also cheated other people."

"Didn't they investigate further?" Su Xueqing asked, "Yu Xiuxiu is just with that guy? And she's borrowing money everywhere?"

"Well, they just borrowed money everywhere, saying that the man gave them gold bars and company shares, and there is a contract." Su's mother said, "But the gold bars were fake, and the contract was also fake."

"Now that the money is gone, they have to pay it back themselves?" Su Xueqing said.

"Of course they have to pay it back themselves. They have no choice but to pay it back." Su's mother said, "We are all relatives."

"Did they ask you to borrow money?" Su Xueqing asked.

"No." Su's mother said, "You know that our family has had a bad relationship with Guochao and his family for a long time. There is no way they would come to us to borrow money. Even if they come to us to borrow money, we can't lend them money. When we see Yu Guochao and his family outside, they don't even say hello to us."

This time, Su's mother first heard about it from others, and then she heard about it from Su's aunt.

"After the child is born...how do they deal with the child? Should they keep the child with them, or..." Su Xueqing said.

"They said that she is Xiuxiu's sister, and the child will be registered under Yu Guochao and his family's name." Su's mother said.

"Are they willing to raise a child?" Su Xueqing thought it was amazing. This was not the style of Yu Guochao and his wife. Yu Guochao and his wife were both lazy. They were working now, but they still wanted to rest more. Raising a child cost a lot of money.

"At first they said they would send the child to the countryside, to Guochao's wife's hometown. Later, somehow they decided to keep the child in South City." Su's mother said, "This is their family's business, and we can't control it. They would have raised a girl, not a boy, so they kept her."

If it was a boy, Yu Guochao's eldest son would definitely object, which would affect his interests, and the impact would be very large. If it was a girl, it would be simpler as long as she had one bite to eat.

"Mom, have you been to see it?" Su Xueqing asked.

"No, why should I go over to see?" Su's mother said, "This matter cannot be made public, they wish that all relatives didn't know about it. I also heard about it by chance. When your aunt came over, I asked her about it, and she told me about it. They kept such a big thing secret, but others still knew a little about it. That person picked up Xiuxiu and was quite high-profile."

Su Xueqing had not had much contact with Yu Guochao and his wife for several years, and she had no idea what had happened to Yu Xiuxiu.

"I was deceived. They said that if you can marry into a rich family, why can't their Xiuxiu marry?" Su's mother said, "Your aunt said this, saying that it's not their fault..."

When Su's mother heard those words, she was speechless. Are Yu Xiuxiu and Su Xueqing comparable? Let's not talk about diplomas, just look at appearance. Yu Xiuxiu looks more like Yu Dasao, a little more delicate, but definitely not as pretty as Su Xueqing.

When Su Xueqing walked on the street, many people turned back to look at her. When Su Xueqing was a child in the alley, many children competed to play with her. When she was in college, many people also pursued her. As for Yu Xiuxiu, her grades were too poor and she stopped studying before graduating from junior high school.

"Their Xiuxiu was cheated, what does it have to do with you?" Su's mother said, "They are always trying to catch up with you, not because of your academic performance, but because of the man you find."

"..." Not to mention that Su's mother was speechless, Su Xueqing was also speechless, "Let them do whatever they want."

Su Xueqing didn't care about that. She had little contact with those people and didn't show off her partner in front of them. Yu Guochao and his wife only saw that others were doing well, but didn't see their efforts.

"Things have already come to this, there is no other way." Su's mother said, "They didn't tell you, so just pretend you don't know. This matter itself has nothing to do with you."

"That child... people who don't know the situation might think it's Xiuxiu's brother's child." Su Xueqing said, "They still keep the child, are they afraid that it will affect Xiuxiu's brother?"

"That's not clear." Su's mother said, "Anyway, they kept the child."

"It's better to keep it." Su Xueqing said, "The child will grow up by my side, and I can know the child's situation. If I give the child to someone else, that person may not necessarily treat the child well."

"As for Yu Guochao and his wife, they are unlikely to treat their child well." Su's mother said, "Perhaps, the child can live a better life with others. However, if the child lives with others, he is not their biological child after all, and may not live a good life in the end."

"Yes." Su Xueqing said.

Yu Guochao and his wife did not want to keep the child, but Yu Xiuxiu did not want to give the child to others. If the child was sent to the countryside, others would ask them for money. What should they do? Yu Guochao and his wife paid back the money to Yu Dasao's family, and they paid back for many years. Yu Guochao's two children did not want to continue to give money to Yu Dasao's family.

Mrs. Yu felt a headache when she saw Yu Xiuxiu, who was in the room after her confinement. "From now on, open your eyes wide and don't look at the wrong person again."

"I don't want to be wrong." Yu Xiuxiu didn't know she would be deceived. She thought she could marry into a wealthy family like her cousin, marry a very rich man with servants to serve her. Who knew she would be deceived? If she had known she would be deceived, she would definitely not be with that man. "Mom, that money..."

"You have to pay back the money yourself. Don't expect me and your father to pay you back." Yu Dasao said, "Fortunately, the amount of money borrowed is not much. If you grit your teeth and work for a few years, you can still pay it back. If it really doesn't work, find someone to marry and use the betrothal gift to pay back the money."

Yu Guochao and his wife had borrowed money from those relatives in their early years. When Yu Xiuxiu went to those relatives to borrow money again, the relatives lent her some money, but not much. Yu Xiuxiu did not dare to borrow from loan sharks. Yu Guochao had a finger chopped off for borrowing from loan sharks, so Yu Xiuxiu was afraid.

The only thing she was thankful for was that she didn't borrow money from loan sharks, and the interest didn't compound to a terrible level. It was also because Yu Xiuxiu didn't have much money that the man didn't stay with her all the time, but went to find other people, and found several of them.

After someone called the police, the man had already fled. So far, the police have not found the man.

"Then find someone to marry!" Yu Xiuxiu didn't want to suffer. "As long as he has a house, is from South City, and can support the family, I will marry him!"

When Ning Yanjing and Xiao Wenjun returned home, Su Xueqing did not tell them that Yu Xiuxiu was deceived into having a child. Su Xueqing only told Xiao Wenjun to keep her eyes open and never be deceived.

"Mom, has someone been cheated?" Xiao Wenjun asked.
