For three years while Xie Qinghui was abroad, Su Ruowan respectfully cared for his elders at home and even subsidized his living expenses with her own money. However, upon his return, he proposed a...
When Su Ruowan and Feng Yu left the Su family, they left the barely touched roast duck to Su's mother.
"Oh, you bought roast duck for your dad today? How come there is so much left?" Mother Su was overjoyed as she carried the heavy roast duck.
"We cooked too much noodles, and everyone ate all of them, so we didn't even have time to eat the roast duck."
"Is that so? Then I'll put it in the refrigerator and save it for Bai Qing and Tang Tang as a midnight snack."
In Su's mother's heart, there are only her son and future daughter-in-law, and Su's father ranks third.
"Mom, Bai Qing is 21, and Xu Tangtang is 20. You should persuade them to find a proper job and stop going to bars every night and sleeping at home during the day."
Su Ruowan spoke these words to Su's mother in a serious tone because she felt sorry for Su's father, and it was also for the good of their family.
Seeing that Su's father is about to turn sixty, if Su Baiqing is still so idle and does not know how to make progress, what will happen to this family in the future?
"Oh, they are just young. Let them play for two more years. When your father retires, Bai Qing will naturally grow up. Okay, okay, you are married now, so don't interfere in this family. If you keep talking too much, Tangtang will be unhappy."
"Okay, go back quickly. It's getting late. I won't see you off."
“…”
Su Ruowan stood outside the door, and her mother closed the door without waiting for her to turn around and go downstairs.
Feng Yu was very angry. After returning home, he recounted to Huo Shengnian everything that Su Ruowan had suffered at the hands of her mother.
Su Ruowan had long been accustomed to Su's mother's attitude towards her, so she was not as angry as Feng Yu.
On the way back, Su Ruowan received another call. This time the call was from Nurse Xiao Wang from Fushouju.
Nurse Xiao Wang is the nurse who specializes in taking care of Grandma Xie.
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong?" Su Ruowan hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
"Miss Su, are you free now? I have something to tell you."
"Well, it's convenient. Go ahead." Su Ruowan glanced at Feng Yu who was driving seriously in front and said to Xiao Wang.
Little did he know that Feng Yu pricked up his ears as if trained.
"It's like this. Grandma Xie hasn't been back to Fushouju for two days. I called her cell phone, but it was always turned off. I always felt something was wrong."
"What's so strange? Aren't the people who took her away members of the Xie family?" Su Ruowan asked.
"Yes, it's the Xie family. But you also know that Grandma Xie has lived in Fushouju for so many years, and she pays the annual management fees herself. Her family members are rarely seen except during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. Why did they suddenly..."
In Xiao Wang's opinion, Su Ruowan is the family member who truly cares about Grandma Xie, even though her surname is not Xie.
Su Ruowan knew that Xiao Wang meant well. She had taken care of Grandma Xie one-on-one for so many years, and Grandma Xie was very kind to her and could take care of herself, so she would never bother Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang really likes her.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wang, it's not sudden. The Xie family is having a wedding, so it's only natural for them to bring Grandma Xie back to stay for a few more days."
"A wedding? Is it you and Mr. Xie who went abroad?" Xiao Wang raised his tone with joy.
"No, Mr. Xie is going to marry someone else." Su Ruowan denied.
"Ah? How could this be? Didn't Grandma Xie always say that you are her granddaughter-in-law? Then Miss Su, this matter is even more strange. Grandma Xie will not accept any other woman as her granddaughter-in-law except you."
"I still can't contact her. I think this is unusual. What do you think?"
"That's all in the past. The Xie family is having a wedding next month, and Grandma Xie must be busy with all kinds of social events. Maybe her phone just ran out of battery. Don't worry about it for now. Grandma Xie should be back in a few days."
"Okay, Miss Su, what about you? Are you okay?" Finally, Xiao Wang did not forget to care about Su Ruowan.
Su Ruowan pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome, Miss Su. I'm hanging up now."
"good."
Su Ruowan hung up the phone, and Feng Yu just parked his car in the underground parking garage of the community.
Feng Yu insisted on sending Su Ruowan safely home before leaving.
In the elevator on the way back, Feng Yu couldn't wait to complain to Huo Shengnian.
Su Ruowan entered the password and entered the door. Huo Shengnian had already taken a shower and was sitting in the living room in his pajamas. His cell phone was on the coffee table, vibrating constantly.
Huo Shengnian was so shocked that his brows furrowed.
"Are you back?" Huo Shengnian stood up with the help of a cane and turned to face Su Ruowan.
"Well, have you taken a shower?" Su Ruowan greeted Huo Shengnian like an ordinary couple.
"I've washed it. Here you go."
Huo Shengnian came over with a cane, bringing with him the fresh scent of shower gel. When he handed over his other hand, Su Ruowan saw clearly that he was holding a bank card.
"Why are you giving me the card?" Su Ruowan was puzzled.
"The household expenses and the money for tomorrow's dinner are all in it."
"How much money is in it?" Su Ruowan was not greedy for money, but wanted to know clearly.
No matter how much Huo Shengnian gave, she would also have to prepare the corresponding amount of money and put it together.
"One hundred thousand exactly." Huo Shengnian said that he had just opened an account and applied for a card this afternoon.
"So much? Huo Shengnian, there's something I need to tell you first. I can't come up with a hundred thousand right now to split the bill with you."
Huo Shengnian's face darkened slightly. "I said, I'll take on the responsibility of supporting the family. You don't have to calculate it so clearly with me."
"But our agreement clearly states that we will each pay half of the daily expenses."
"Agreements are agreements, and days are days. No couple will really live according to an agreement. If you feel I've been wronged, you can make up for what you feel you owe me when you find your true love who wants to leave me."
“…”
Well?
She remembered that she had told him last night that if her marriage with him ended in failure, she would not look for another man and would live a free and easy life on her own.
Then why does he still say that?
And, strangely enough, why did she feel that he was a little unhappy when he said this?
Well, it must be her illusion.
Otherwise, it's just that his chauvinistic mentality is too serious.
"Okay, I'll take it first. Do you want to go somewhere for dinner tomorrow?" Su Ruowan felt that since he gave the money, the one who gave the money was the big boss, so it would be better to ask the big boss's opinion on the place to eat.
"I don't care. Just pick what your family likes. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my room first." The phone was still vibrating. Huo Shengnian was speechless. He wanted to see which bastard was harassing him at this time.
"Oh, Huo Shengnian, thank you." When Huo Shengnian turned around, Su Ruowan remembered to thank him.
Huo Shengnian didn't say anything. He leaned on his crutches, went to the coffee table in the living room, picked up his cell phone, and went straight back to his room.
Su Ruowan put the card into the bag behind the door, put on an apron, and went to the kitchen sink to wash the dishes. After cleaning up the kitchen, Su Ruowan cut a plate of fruit and sent it to Huo Shengnian.
Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door, and Huo Shengnian just finished listening to the complaints that Feng Yu was frantically sending to his phone.
Huo Shengnian got up and opened the door. Outside, Su Ruowan smiled brightly, "Mr. Huo, you've worked hard. Please accept the fruit before bed."
