Chapter 18 If it’s not a wife, then what is it?



Su Meimei endured Li Chunxiu's abuse and responded with her head down.

"I know, Mom!"

Li Chunxiu was still not satisfied and kept cursing at the side.

Zhao Huaguang closed the door and looked like he was dead.

Su Meimei squatted down to work, reminding herself that she must be patient.

It is not easy to be a rich wife, wait until she and Zhao Huaguang go to Gangcheng.

She must hire a dozen nannies to take care of her so that she doesn't have to suffer the bullying of this family.

While rubbing the clothes, she thought that her life in Zhao Huaguang's house was already so difficult.

It must be even more difficult for Su Man to stay at Lin Ye's house on that street.

At least she could still hope for a better life in the future, but what about Su Man? She didn't know when she would become a widow.

Thinking this way, I feel much more balanced.

After washing the clothes, he hurried to pick up the manure.

She pinched her nose and carried the dung bucket out of the door. Halfway there, she met her father Su Mancang.

"Hey, isn't this my daughter? What are you doing? How can I let you do such dirty work? Come, Dad will do it."

Su Mancang took the dung bucket from Su Meimei's shoulder with a smile on his face.

Su Meimei stretched her sore shoulders and said unhappily.

"What are you doing here?"

She knew what kind of person her father was. He didn't do any work and just ate, drank, gambled and whored. It must be no good thing that he came to her.

Su Mancang grinned with his mouth full of yellow teeth and rubbed his fingers.

"Dad has nothing in his pocket, can you give me some support?"

"It doesn't have to be much, thirty or fifty will be enough. I'll pay you back when Dad wins."

"No."

Bang

Su Mancang threw the dung bucket on the ground and frowned.

"I raised you, and now I'm asking you for some money and you're just blaming me. Fine, if you don't give it to me, I'll go get it from the Zhao family."

"Do you really think that my innocent daughter is so easy to get?"

Su Meimei was afraid that Su Mancang would do something stupid and really cause trouble at the Zhao family. Her mother-in-law didn't like her in the first place, and her life would be even worse from now on.

"Okay, I have a few dollars here, you can spend it first."

She suddenly thought of something and her eyes rolled.

"I just ran into Su Man at the department store. Mom said she took back all the betrothal gifts from the Lin family and has some money! Go ask her for it."

Su Mancang had been hanging out in the town these days and had forgotten about Su Man. He took the money, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and left cursing.

"I forgot about that money-losing item..."

——————

After coming out of the department store, Su Man didn't rush home and walked around the town.

Tired of shopping, I found a snack stand and ordered a bowl of wontons to fill my stomach. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice coming from the back alley.

"Su Mancang, how dare you come to me for money? Didn't your daughter's tuition and living expenses for technical secondary school all come from our family?"

"What's the result? Your family is so lucky that they changed the marriage at the last minute. Fortunately, Mannier is kind-hearted, otherwise, our family would have been dragged down by your family."

Is that grandma's voice? Su Man gave the money and hurriedly got up and walked over there.

Su Mancang was picking his teeth with a toothpick in his mouth, one leg propped up on the ground, shaking like a man with epilepsy.

"Lin Ye's grandma, that's not what you meant! We agreed that you would pay for our daughter's expenses."

"When the time comes, we'll give Lin Ye a wife. Now your family has one, so it's not a loss."

"Let me tell you the truth! Our Mannie'er is more able to endure hardships than Meimei. Your family, including the old, young, disabled, and so on, will all need her to take care of them in the future."

"I heard that she even took the betrothal money to your house. That's not acceptable."

"If you don't return the betrothal money to me today, I will take Mannie back with me."

Tang Guifen was so angry at Su Mancang's shameless behavior that she was trembling all over and could not even stand steadily.

He said at the beginning that his family was not well off and that his daughter had finally been admitted to a technical secondary school but had no money to continue her studies, which was a pity.

She also said that she was going to be Lin Ye's wife anyway, and when she graduated, it would bring honor to the Lin family.

She thought that she was her granddaughter-in-law after all, and she couldn't bear to ruin her daughter's future.

He paid the tuition fee and opened the door, and Su Mancang was like a leech seeing blood.

I would ask her for money every month, either for my daughter's tuition or living expenses, or at least for buying clothes or something.

When it’s more, there are fifty or sixty, and when it’s less, there are twenty or thirty.

After giving it to her for a few years, the several hundred dollars that Lin Ye had deposited with her was gone.

Before Lin Ye's accident, his family had built a house and could afford most of the expenses.

Later, something happened and the medical expenses and the betrothal money drained out the family's savings.

She was afraid that Lin Ye would feel burdened after knowing that the family had no money, so she kept it a secret.

Qiangzi and Hongxing had no money to pay for their studies, so they could only keep the debt in arrears.

But now, Qiangzi asked for it, and she had no choice but to come here and find some work to do.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Su Mancang, this scoundrel, just two days into the job.

Su Mancang must have been afraid that she would make a fuss, so he didn't even stay at home when he returned home that day.

"You, you are so shameless."

Tang Guifen was so angry that her eyes went dark and she fainted.

When Su Mancang saw this, he was so scared that he ran away.

"Someone died, but it's none of my business. I didn't do anything."

Su Man quickly ran over and helped Tang Guifen up: "Grandma?"

At this moment, the people in the restaurant also heard the noise and ran out in a panic.

"What's going on? I told you not to let people of your age do this kind of work! Now that something's wrong, you can't blame us."

"She begged us to keep her. Here's your wages. Take it and leave."

They threw down a big unity and quickly closed the door.

Su Man didn't bother to say anything more to them and quickly carried Tang Guifen to the hospital.
