Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 99 Three Women, One Drama
"What's wrong with a second marriage?" Gao Meifeng was also stunned and said in disbelief, "If you despise me for being a second marriage, then let Hou Li find a young lady who's not married yet!"
After all, she has a city hukou and is a contract worker in town.
Su Houli found her, but he was marrying above his station.
The old woman still dislikes her because she is a second marriage?
"It's because Hou Li chose you that he didn't choose Miss Huang Hua." Xu Yuxiang didn't understand either. She looked at Gao Meifeng innocently, "If he didn't choose you, he wouldn't get divorced. If he didn't get divorced, you wouldn't have anything to do with him. Why did you let him choose Miss Huang Hua?"
Maybe Gao Meifeng didn't understand what she meant.
What she meant was that there was no need for a dowry for a second marriage.
Gao Meifeng was so angry that she fell backwards.
I was speechless for a long time.
Although her original mother-in-law was difficult to get along with, she would never say anything so openly. She had been in their house for less than an hour, and she was already talking about giving birth and the betrothal gift. It was New Year's Day. Was this old woman deliberately looking for trouble?
Xue Yuxin couldn't listen any longer, so she mustered up the courage to say, "Grandma, if you don't like my mom, I'll go home with my mom right now, and we won't celebrate the New Year at your house anymore."
"Oh, little girl, that's not what I meant." Xu Yuxiang was used to reading people's expressions and quickly said with a smile, "Your mother and I were just chatting casually. We can talk about this later."
Since it was the first time for both of them, she had to test it out.
Anyway, it is impossible for Gao Meifeng to take advantage of her son.
Still want a dowry? No way!
Feng Yuefen heard this in the kitchen and felt very happy about it.
Humph, this woman takes herself too seriously. She is getting married for the second time and has a child, and she still wants a dowry. She’s dreaming!
The door knocked once, and the brothers Su Houli and Su Houde came in, chatting and laughing. Su Houli, in particular, couldn't suppress the smile on his face. As soon as he entered, he said to Feng Yuefen, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. I'll light the fire later."
"You start the fire now!" Feng Yuefen didn't want to pamper them and said indifferently, "I have to cook for so many people by myself. You have to help me."
There was something going on at home before, so when she cooked with Chen Guilan, Chen Guilan was in charge of the kitchen while she kept the fire.
Now, she doesn’t even have someone to light the fire. What the hell did Su Houli find?
"Hou Li, you're back." Gao Meifeng called him from the kang, "Pour me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
"Here I am." Su Houli poured her some water and also poured a cup for Xue Yuxin. He carried the two cups of hot water into the house and saw Xu Yuxiang also lying on the kang. He asked her, "Mom, do you want some water?"
"I don't want to drink." Xu Yuxiang got off the kang angrily, "I'll go downstairs to light the fire!"
As soon as the man came back, she started to order him around.
I want to drink water but I can't pour it myself!
"Hou Li, I want to go back." Gao Meifeng looked at Su Hou Li pitifully, "Send us back. We won't celebrate the New Year here anymore."
The first time you meet someone is the time to compete with each other.
Why should she suffer this injustice?
"Why are you going back when everything's fine?" Su Houli asked her kindly, "Are you missing home?"
When he entered the room and saw Gao Meifeng, he felt something was unreal.
It was a strange feeling that she was at his house instead of at work.
"No, I just want to go back." Gao Meifeng turned away from him and said angrily, "Your family doesn't welcome me."
"What are you talking about?" Su Houli smiled. "My mother has liked you for a long time, and my eldest brother and his wife also welcome you. Look, they are busy outside as soon as you get here. Don't think too much."
"Grandma just said that my mother is a remarried woman, and that remarried women shouldn't ask for a betrothal gift." Xue Yuxin said timidly to Su Houli, "Uncle Su, do you also dislike my mother for being a remarried woman?"
"As long as your mother doesn't dislike me, how could I dislike your mother?" Su Houli knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and comforted her kindly, "You guys take a good rest, I'll take care of these things, you don't have to worry about it. My mother is an old lady, don't take her words seriously, you are living with me!"
"I hope you keep your word." Gao Meifeng decided to be patient for the time being. After all, Xu Yuxiang was Su Houli's mother. Marriage was not just a matter between two people, but also required getting along well with his family.
After comforting the mother and daughter, Su Houli went to the kitchen to light the fire. Xu Yuxiang got angry when she saw Su Houli groveling in front of the mother and daughter: "I don't need you, you should just entertain the guests properly!"
She couldn't entertain the mother and daughter well.
A remarried woman acts as pretentious as a little girl.
"Hou Li, your elder brother is chopping wood in the yard, go help him!" Feng Yuefen simply instructed Su Hou Li, "My mother and I are here, we don't need you."
Su Houli was in a good mood and didn't care about these things. He changed his clothes and went to the yard to help Su Houde chop firewood. Su Houde simply handed the axe to him and squatted under the eaves to smoke. With only one axe, two people couldn't chop the wood.
Gao Meifeng looked out the window and saw Su Houli chopping wood. She called Xue Yuxin over and said, "Look at your Uncle Su. He looks quite like the real deal."
"Mom, my legs are numb." Xue Yuxin sat in a strange house, on a strange kang, facing strangers, feeling uncomfortable all over. But she didn't want to go to the yard to play. She didn't want to see Su Jiaojiao. She knew Su Cuicui, but she didn't want to talk to Su Cuicui. They were not her relatives.
"Let me give you a massage." Gao Meifeng knew her daughter felt constrained in this home, so she massaged her legs and comforted her, "We'll go back the day after tomorrow and visit your grandma on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
"I like going to my grandma's house." Her grandma is much kinder than Xu Yuxiang.
"If you like, stay a few more days." Gao Meifeng said with a smile, "Your grandma is looking forward to your visit too!"
During the meal, Feng Yuefen brought out six dishes.
Gao Meifeng soon discovered that except for a plate of chicken and a pot of cabbage, pork, tofu and vermicelli, everything was brought back by her and Su Houli, including pig's head, roast duck, ham sausage, and even cold dishes.
In other words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard for a while and only cooked two dishes. Feng Yuefen was so tired that she kept complaining. Gao Meifeng sneered, thinking she was pretending. She didn't even look at her and picked up her chopsticks to eat with peace of mind.
If I had known this would happen, I would have spent the New Year in her rental house!
As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Su Houde and Feng Yuefen only cooked two dishes during the Chinese New Year. They are so stingy!
Su Houli knew that Gao Meifeng and Xue Yuxin both liked chicken, so he kept putting chicken into their bowls, which made Feng Yuefen very angry. She also quickly put chicken into Su Cuicui and Su Jinbao's bowls, muttering, "Eat, eat quickly, there are so many people here, if you don't eat now, it will be gone."
Xu Yuxiang was so angry that her face turned black: "Why are you rushing to buy food during Chinese New Year? Aren't there still so many dishes?"
"Mom, we didn't steal anything. It's just that the food you cook is so delicious." Su Houli also felt that he had gone too far. He smiled and tried to smooth things over. He also picked up a piece of chicken for Xu Yuxiang and said, "Eat it, eat it all. It's so delicious."
After dinner, we cleaned up and started making dumplings.
Feng Yuefen specially moved the panel to the kang. There are so many people eating, why should she cook alone?
Gao Meifeng understood and greeted Su Houli with a smile: "Houli, come over and make dumplings, I don't know how!"
"What? You can't even make dumplings?" Xu Yuxiang and Feng Yuefen looked at Gao Meifeng in disbelief and asked in unison, "Then what can you do?"
