Chapter 138: Trouble for the Son-in-law
"You should also apologize to Xiaoyu." Su Yun said to Sun Tieying.
Zhou Xinhong raised her head. Doctor Su asked her mother to apologize in front of so many people. Isn’t this humiliating her mother in public?
How embarrassing for mom.
"It's indeed time to apologize." Zheng Qiulan nodded.
Sun Tieying: “…”
If she apologized to Yu Hui again in front of so many people, she would probably lose all her prestige as the director of the Women's Department.
But Su Yun and Zheng Qiulan both spoke...
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. It's Sister Sun who doesn't understand and is too arbitrary. She made you feel wronged."
Yu Hui nodded and reminded, "Yes, again."
Sun Tieying: “…”
After apologizing, Sun Tieying left with her daughter, and the onlookers dispersed.
Zhao Changying invited Su Yun and the others into the house and asked them to come in and have a drink of water.
"Auntie, have some water." Gu Qiuyan placed the prepared honey water in front of Su Yun and Zheng Qiulan respectively.
"Thank you." Su Yun and Zheng Qiulan thanked her and also looked at her twice.
The little girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with dark wheat-colored skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and black braids. She looked very pleasing to the eye.
"Drink some water." Gu Qiuyan placed a cup of honey water in front of Zhan Lang.
Zhan Lang looked up, "Didn't I have a name to call you?"
Gu Qiuyan: “…”
Su Yun smiled and said, "Our Zhan Lang is twenty years old, so he should be older than you. You can call him Brother Zhan."
Brother Zhan?
Just reading these three words in her mind gave Gu Qiuyan goosebumps.
"Eat the sour jujube cake. This is made by Xiaohui in our family." Zhao Changying took out the sour jujube cake that had not been finished at home.
Su Yun looked at Yu Hui, who was holding the child, with surprise and joy, "Xiao Yu, you can also make sour jujube cake. This is a cake from my hometown, Jiang Province."
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I learned this from the educated youth in our village. Since it's a pastry from your hometown, Sister Su, you can try my version to see if it's authentic."
Su Yun picked up a piece of sour jujube cake, looked at it, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
"Yes, that's the smell. I think it's been there for over 20 years."
Since she married Zhan Beifang, she hasn't been back to her hometown for more than 20 years, nor has she tasted the food of her hometown.
Her parents died early and she had no relatives in her hometown, so she had not been back for many years.
The sour jujube cake, which tasted the same as the one she had when she was young, aroused her infinite homesickness, and she suddenly wanted to find an opportunity to go back and visit.
Yu Hui: "Then Sister Su, please eat more."
Su Yun nodded while eating the sour jujube cake.
Wen Zhaodi was looking after her child in the hospital. She looked at the clock hanging in the ward and thought that her mother and sister should have collected enough money.
It is an indisputable fact that Yu Hui broke her son Hongbing's ribs. She cannot deny it and she will definitely get the money back.
After losing so much money, she wondered how Yu Hui could be so proud in the future.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw my mother and sister coming back.
"Is it almost time?" Wen Zhaodi asked quickly with her eyes lighting up.
Zhu Ximei moved her lips, not knowing how to tell her.
Seeing that the two of them looked unhappy, Wen Zhaodi felt a pang in her heart.
"Is it that Yu Hui didn't pay that much?"
Wenlaidi: "It's not that they didn't pay that much, it's that they didn't pay at all."
"Why wouldn't she pay?" Wen Zhaodi's voice suddenly rose. "She broke two of our Red Soldier's ribs. Two."
"If she doesn't compensate you, you won't want it anymore? Make a scene at her house!"
Her mother and second sister were both notorious shrews in the village. She called them up from the countryside because she valued their ability to lose face and act like a shrew.
"Do you think we didn't make a fuss?"
Wen Laidi heard the emotion in his sister's tone and retorted in a bad tone.
"Zhao Di," Zhu Ximei said, "You were wrong to ask us to go to the Gu family and ask them to pay compensation."
Wrong?
What's wrong?
Wen Zhaodi widened her eyes.
Zhu Ximei recounted the entire story of how they went to the Gu family to ask for money, from beginning to end.
Before she finished listening, Wen Zhaodi's face turned pale.
After she finished speaking, Zhu Ximei added, "We might have caused trouble for our son-in-law."
"You too, the doctor told you that Hongbing was fine because of timely rescue, and it's normal to have broken ribs. And you still asked us to help you get compensation." Wen Laidi looked at his sister and scolded her.
"It's like we're being made into villains who are intentionally blackmailing people. You don't know how embarrassed my mom and I were when we were at Gu's house. We wanted to find a hole to crawl into." It was all Zhaodi's fault.
Wen Zhaodi's hands and feet were cold, and her whole body was chilly.
It's over. Jianguo will beat her to death when he comes back.
"Zhao Di," Zhu Ximei said, looking at her pale daughter, "give me fifty yuan, and your sister and I will go back this afternoon. Otherwise, your son-in-law will definitely blame us when he comes back."
Their trip couldn't be in vain. If they couldn't take back 400 yuan, they had to take back at least 40 or 50 yuan.
After deducting the bus fare, there should be 45 yuan left. I can give 5 yuan to Lai Di and take the remaining 40 yuan home to save for Yaozu to get married.
Wen Zhaodi: “!”
At this time, her mother still asks her for money?
Wenlaidi frowned, "Why are you looking at me like that? You were the one who asked us to come up here, and we worked hard for you today. Do you think we'd come all this way and work for you in vain?"
Wen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have that much money."
"If you don't have that much, go home and get it."
"There aren't that many at home."
"How is that possible?" Wenlaidi was unconvinced. "My brother-in-law's monthly salary is over 70 yuan. Your family must have over a thousand yuan in savings. How is it possible that you don't even have 50 yuan?"
Wen Zhaodi: “…”
At this point, she had no choice but to tell the truth, "Jianguo doesn't manage my money at all. He only gives me 20 yuan a month for household expenses, and he puts the rest in the bank."
"The passbooks are all kept somewhere, and I don't even know where he put them."
"I usually save the money I give to my family from my twenty yuan account. Last month, my mother called and said we were out of money, so I sent her twenty yuan."
"Hongbing's hospitalization has already cost him ten yuan. I only have thirty yuan on me now, including this month's living expenses. The most I can give you is twenty yuan."
She deliberately said less, but in fact she had thirty-five pieces of money on her.
Zhu Ximei and Wen Laidi were silent for a long time.
Wen Zhaodi often boasted to her sisters about how good Wu Jianguo was to her, bragging that she was the one who managed the money at home and Wu Jianguo listened to her in everything.
She acts superior in front of her sisters and looks down on her brothers-in-law who are just peasants.
Wen Laidi and her sisters were envious, jealous and disgusted with Wen Zhaodi in their hearts, but they still tried to curry favor with her on the surface.
Now that he knew that these were all fake, Wen Laidi felt a little relieved.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ximei poked Wen Zhaodi's temples with her index finger, feeling very disappointed. "What good are you? A woman who can't even manage the family's money is really useless."
