Su Jin, Su's father, did not go home that night; he went to have dinner with his old comrades.
As soon as Su Jin arrived at the state-run restaurant, she saw her comrade-in-arms Lin Shen already sitting there waiting.
"Brother Jin, that's not very nice of you. You haven't contacted me at all in so long. If I don't call you, you don't even care about me."
Upon hearing Lin Shen's words, Su Jin understood the situation.
"Then give me a call, and I'll be right here."
"That's true."
The two ordered a few dishes and then sat down to wait.
The dishes were served.
Su Jin looked at the braised pork in front of her and felt something was off.
"Lin Shen, your memory is terrible. I don't like this food. You've wasted your money on this meal."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shen slapped his forehead and said, "It's my fault. I'll treat you to another meal next time."
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
It looked like a normal chat.
The person behind me left without ordering any food.
Lin Shen turned around and looked at him before saying seriously, "Brother Jin, you've probably got something going on lately."
"Stop keeping me in suspense, they're all gone."
Lin Shen sighed, stopped making a fuss, and told everyone what he had discovered.
He overheard an inconspicuous subordinate talking about the textile factory.
After paying a little attention, I realized that Feng Tianlie had been frequently visiting this subordinate lately.
They looked every bit like good brothers.
It even had a somewhat ingratiating tone.
This is very unusual.
Lin Shen usually has a lot of things to deal with, and the fact that he noticed this small matter was because Su Jin was at the textile factory.
He hadn't found out the specifics yet, but he felt he should tell Su Jin in advance.
He naturally appreciated his comrade's sentiments.
Lin Shen rubbed his shoulders from time to time.
Su Jin naturally kept it in mind.
The next few days were calm.
But the Su family did not dare to let their guard down.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the Su family's door.
Upon opening it, I found my cousin Su Yu, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Uncle, please save me."
Su Yu cried her eyes out.
Su Jin stood at the door, not letting anyone in.
When Su's mother saw that there was no movement, she went out to check and saw Su Yu crying like this.
What happened?
Su Yu seemed to have flipped a switch to release her tears, clutching the bundle in her arms as she sobbed as she spoke.
"Grandma wants to marry me off to someone in the mountains to raise money for my younger brother's dowry!"
Su's mother was speechless; Su Yu was still so young.
Her younger brother is only eleven years old; there's no question of a bride price.
Su Yu clearly knew who had the final say in this family.
She went directly to Su's mother and cried.
It's getting late, and it's definitely not safe for a girl to be out alone.
Su's mother kept the person behind, planning to discuss what to do the next day.
Su Yu was about to walk towards Su Qiao's room.
But Su's mother stopped her.
Su's mother felt that Su Yu had been corrupted and had no manners at all. Why did she always stare at Qiao Qiao?
She's been to her house before, why does she insist on going to Qiaoqiao's place?
Really...
I've said it hundreds of times, why can't I learn it?
"That's Qiaoqiao's room. You're staying in the guest room."
Su Yu looked hesitantly at Su Jin, hoping her uncle would make the decision for her. Anyway, Su Qiao wasn't home, so what was wrong with letting her stay in the room?
Su Jin's face was incredibly dark.
"Stay if you can, leave if you can't. I have no obligation to support you or help you."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu had no choice but to turn around and head towards the guest room on the other side.
She knew from a young age that her uncle's family was well-off.
She likes to run here whenever she feels wronged.
Five out of ten times they will be taken in.
I always stay in the guest room.
She originally thought it was good enough.
Until she saw Su Qiao's room.
The things inside were things she had never seen before.
Su Qiao had a wardrobe full of clothes, all without patches. Yet she could only wear clothes patched upon patched.
The room was always filled with snacks and toys she had never played with.
She had always envied Su Qiao since she was a child, envying her for having such parents and such a family.
They were both daughters, but she received all the pampering.
Even after she was sent to the countryside, she was still able to marry a soldier and become an officer's wife.
Having both a son and a daughter ensures a lifetime of happiness.
After the political situation changed, a treasure was discovered inside the house...
And what about her? The grass on her grave is already two feet tall.
Why should I?!
Now that she has the chance to live a second life, she must have the best!
Just wait and see. We won't let her live here now, but once the house becomes hers, she can live here however she wants!
Su Yu sat in the guest room.
She didn't light a lamp, letting the moonlight stream through the window and into the room.
I was extremely excited.
Soon, it will be her turn to experience that day.
Once we have this house, Grandma and the others will never dare to look down on her again.
She clutched the bundle tightly to her chest, from which came a crisp clattering sound.
To Su Yu's ears, it was the most perfect music.
Let them enjoy their freedom for a few more days.
The next morning, Su Yu began her performance.
"Uncle, I really can't go on living, please help me."
"Aunt, you also have daughters, you must not bear to see me like this..."
Su's father hesitated.
Su's mother didn't have this concern.
What exactly do you want?
Seeing this, Su Yu quickly expressed her thoughts.
"I just want to stay at my uncle's house for a few days. It would be good if you could let me stay for a few days."
"Do you think your parents don't know you've been coming to my house?"
Su's mother was so angry she almost laughed.
Although Su Yu is quite pitiful, it's not a big deal if she runs over to hide every time, but the aftereffects of taking her in are unbearable.
Every time she came, Su Jin's good-for-nothing younger brother would come over to beg for money.
He always said that they had kidnapped his child.
At first, they gave it to keep the peace, but later it seemed like they had discovered the secret to getting rich.
It happens all the time.
When they realized they couldn't get the money, they insisted on taking something else with them.
Although they took away things they didn't need, it was still really annoying.
"Tell me, what is it about my house that your dad has his eye on this time?"
Father Su's expression changed. His third brother's family had been much quieter lately, and he had forgotten about this incident.
He stared at Su Yu with icy eyes.
Su Yu knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Her fingernails dug tightly into her palm.
"No, I didn't... I... I really just wanted to stay for a few days."
"If I remember correctly, my third uncle said last time that his family would never come to my house again, even if they died."
Su Qiao suddenly spoke up.
Su Yu suddenly looked up and asked instinctively, "What are you doing at home!"
Su Qiao smiled.
"Look at what you're saying. This isn't your yard. What's so strange about me being in my own home?"
Su Yu realized what was going on and quickly tried to cover it up: "What I mean is, didn't my cousin go to the countryside? How come she's home now?"
Could it be that he couldn't stand the hardship and ran away to come back?
"Can't I come back to visit my family?"
"Of course... cousin, I really can't go on living like this! Please save me! Just let me stay, I don't want to get married!"
"I can do the laundry and cooking for the family! I just beg you to let me stay."
Su Yu immediately changed the subject, becoming more and more pitiful as she spoke.
Su Yu and Dong Yiyi are remarkably similar.
He was saying things to appear weak, but his eyes betrayed his undisguised jealousy.
It's so disjointed.
Su Qiao suddenly thought of something.
He gave Su's father and mother a wink.
The two immediately understood and no longer objected to Su Yu staying at home.
The two went to work as usual.
Su Qiao, on the other hand, sat in the courtyard leisurely swinging on a swing.
Su Yu watched from the side, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.
