In her previous life, Su Li lived simply. Her husband, Shao Ting'an, was gentle and refined, and they were an affectionate couple praised by everyone. Her student Zhao Xinran, whom she treated ...
Chapter 196 Those letters were sent by Fu Jinzhou
Su Danian said coldly, with undisguised disgust in his tone.
Liu Cui'e smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, we are here to apologize to you..."
"Get lost! I have nothing to do with your family, and don't come here again!"
Su Danian interrupted her directly and drove her away without mercy.
Zhao Xinran's face turned pale and blue. She didn't expect Su Danian to be so disrespectful.
"Dad, calm down."
Su Li came out and handed Su Danian a glass of water.
She looked at Liu Cui'e and Zhao Xinran with cold eyes.
"Why are you here? There's nothing to discuss between us."
Liu Cui'e fell to her knees with a plop.
"Li girl, I know that Xinran and Xinpeng have wronged you and your father. I have been unable to sleep or eat during this period. I have always wanted to apologize to you, but I have never dared to come."
Liu Guilan was angry and came over with a broom.
"Who cares about your apology? You really think you're such a big shot. Get out of here now."
"Auntie, don't be angry. My Xinpeng was also threatened by that beast Shao Ting'an. He's only sixteen years old. What can he understand?"
Liu Cui'e cried with tears and snot.
"Stop pretending here. I don't have time to watch you mother and daughter acting."
As Liu Guilan spoke, she was about to attack Zhao Xinran.
Zhao Xinran kept her head down and shed tears silently.
Liu Cui'e quickly stood up and walked over to Liu Guilan, holding her hand. "Auntie, don't be angry. Let's go right away."
"Li girl, I'm sorry for you. I've been reflecting on myself these past few days. I thought of one thing. If I had been more resolute and told you back then, maybe the outcome between you and Shao Ting'an would have been different."
Su Li originally thought that it would be a good idea for her mother to kick them out. To deal with such difficult people, one has to be more cruel than them.
When I suddenly heard Liu Cui'e say this, I wanted to hear what else she had to say.
"Mom, let her finish."
Su Li helped Su Danian sit down under the grape vines and poured a cup of tea for my parents and me.
The mother and daughter stood in the sun, their faces covered in sweat, looking like servants waiting to be lectured.
"If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. It's hot, but our grapevine is too small, and we don't have any stools."
After Su Li said this, Zhao Xinran gritted her teeth secretly. It was obvious that she wanted them to finish their talk and get out as soon as possible.
The feeling of humiliation made her clutch her right hand with her left hand, her nails digging deep into her palm.
How could Su Li not understand? She had seen Zhao Xinran's hypocritical behavior and suffered losses from it before.
"From the beginning, I thought Shao Ting'an was no good. He looked honest, but he was actually very scheming!"
Su Li didn't understand what she was going to say, but no matter how much she slandered Shao Tingan at this time, their relationship could not be saved.
"If that's what you mean, then please leave immediately. There's no connection between us anymore."
Su Li was a little impatient.
Liu Cui'e wiped her face and gritted her teeth, "At the time, I saw how much you liked him, so I didn't feel comfortable saying anything. Who knew he would actually do such a heinous thing!"
Liu Cui'e cried again until she was hoarse, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Li Yatou, our Xinran was deceived by him, and Xinpeng was coerced by him. Both children..."
"Xinpeng is only sixteen, but he has to undergo six years of forced labor. This is also a punishment. It can be regarded as an explanation to his uncle Su."
Su Li couldn't bear to listen any longer. She had heard these words so many times: crying, grievance, being forced, and it all came down to it being an unintentional act.
Before Su Li could say anything, Liu Guilan exploded, "How many times are you going to say it again? I'm tired of hearing it."
Liu Cui'e immediately stopped talking. "Auntie, I'm out of control. Don't be angry. It's all because of Shao Ting'an. I'm talking incoherently now."
Su Li looked at her without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
"Shao Ting'an forced Zhao Xinran to sleep with him at knifepoint? Just say it yourself and believe it. Stop howling in front of me."
"We both know everything about my dad. There's no evidence, the police won't pursue the matter, and I have no power to pursue it! What did you just say? If you don't tell me, I'll kick you out."
Su Li's voice was not loud, but every word she said was like a knife, stabbing Liu Cui'e's face so pale.
"Girl Li, you...you can't say that, I..." She wanted to quibble, but seeing Su Li's face darken, she didn't dare to do it anymore.
"I just remembered one thing. When you were in our village, we often received your letters. Every time, it was that beast Shao Ting'an who intercepted them. After reading them, he tore up all your letters and threw them into the river!"
"I received them twice. After he found out, he kept begging me to give them to him, but I refused. Those two letters are still at the bottom of a box at home. I'm just thinking that if he ever gets mean to you, I can use the letters as a warning."
"Faith? What faith?"
"I don't recognize it, but the postman said it was sent from the army."
Su Li's body shook violently.
Her heart felt like it was hit hard by something, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
In the army, there is hardly anyone else except Fu Jinzhou.
It turned out that Fu Jinzhou had written a letter to her.
However, she didn't receive any of them.
With what kind of mood must he have written the letter to him, and with what kind of mood must he have been looking forward to the reply!
However, the hope sent out fell on deaf ears, and all hopes turned into disappointment after repeated anticipation.
It turns out that those letters were destroyed by Shao Tingan!
Su Li's eyes instantly became moist.
She bit her lips hard to calm herself down.
She looked at Liu Cui'e and Zhao Xinran with cold eyes.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
"From now on, I, Su Li, will have nothing to do with you!"
"Li girl, don't say that. I will never forget your kindness to me. I still have two at home. I will bring them to you when I go back for the New Year."
Liu Cui'e learned about Fu Jinzhou and Su Li from Zhao Xinran.
She also knew that Fu Jinzhou had served in the army, so she was certain that the letters were sent by Fu Jinzhou.
Therefore, if Su Li was really attracted to Fu Jinzhou, she would definitely want to see the only two letters.
Su Li was moved when she heard the two letters. What would Fu Jinzhou write to him?
Such a cold and introverted person would write to her again and again. Su Li felt a little...
"Let someone mail this letter to me, and I'll give you ten dollars!"
Su Danian seemed to know what his daughter was thinking. He raised his hand to his wife and said, "Give her ten yuan."
Liu Guilan glared at Liu Cui'e and went into the house to get the money.
Zhao Xinran, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up now. "Teacher Su, I know I've let you down. What happened before can't be undone, and I've received the punishment I deserve. Thank you for giving me a chance. I will work hard and live up to your academic guidance over the years."
Su Li felt sick at heart when she heard her words. She smiled and said, "I never thought of giving you a chance. It's just that fate didn't go as planned!"
