"Go away, stay away from me. If Sister Zhiliao sees us, she will be angry."
Xia Hai smiled when he saw Su Mingche's embarrassment, "Master Su, my sister won't be angry about this."
"That won't work either. Even if she's not angry, I have to keep myself clean."
Xia Hai frowned, "What does this have to do with anything? Master Su, there is a reason why you are not good at studying."
"Stop talking, and get them away from me."
"Okay, Vanilla, Orchid, didn't you hear me? If you don't leave, I won't be polite."
Such a young girl didn't have any other intentions. It was just that it was a rare occasion for a clean and good-looking young master to come to the village, so she wanted to get close to him and play with him for a while. There was no other intention.
After Xia Hai said this, everyone walked away.
"Xia Hai, you really helped me."
"What's that? Who is that woman next to your father?" Xia Hai asked casually.
Su Mingche rolled his eyes. "Who else could it be, someone who wants to be my stepmother?"
"But I haven't agreed yet."
"You can decide this too?" Xia Hai asked in surprise.
"Of course. To be my stepmother, doesn't that mean you need my consent?"
Xia Hai thought about it and said, "That makes sense."
Mr. Su was very enthusiastic when he saw the Xia family and introduced them to the women around him. However, the women looked disgusted. Although they didn't say it, their expressions were very obvious.
Since guests are welcome, the Xia family didn’t bother with her.
Don't give face to the monk, give face to the Buddha. Since Master Su is here, we can't embarrass him in any way.
"Hongxiu, come quickly, this is the sister-in-law I told you about. Her embroidery skills are really amazing. Oh, little Zhiliao, come and let your uncle take a look. You have grown taller and prettier."
Mr. Su then took out a brocade box from his arms and said, "Uncle Su gave it to you."
Xia Zhiliao didn't reach out, "Uncle, why are you returning my gift?"
The woman rolled her eyes. “That’s right, haven’t I already given it to you?”
Boss Su seemed not to have heard the words, "Uncle gave you a gift, there is no reason, take it quickly, I picked it specially for you, see if you like it?"
When Xia Zhiliao opened it, he saw that it was a pearl bracelet. The color and size were both top-notch. At that time, pearls were not like those of modern times, and could be artificially cultivated, so they were still very precious.
"Do you like it?" Boss Su's face was smiling like a flower. If you didn't know him, you would think he was meeting a woman he loved very much.
"I like it, but it's too expensive!" Xia Zhiliao said.
"Yes, Boss Su, why did you give her such a valuable gift? I feel so sorry." Xia Chen said.
"Sister-in-law, what's the relationship between our two families? Don't be so formal. It's fine as long as Zhi likes it. It's not expensive, not expensive."
The woman beside her snorted coldly. How can it not be expensive? It’s hundreds of taels of silver. He is not even that generous to herself.
"Thank you, Uncle Su." Xia Zhiliao said in a baby voice, "By the way, my mother has a new idea after returning from the capital. She will tell you later."
"Okay." Boss Su smiled from ear to ear. He knew that this little gift was worth it.
But the woman didn't understand. When the mother and daughter walked a little further away, she began to grumble, "You're just a country bumpkin. It's ok for you to come in person, but you gave me something so valuable. Besides, haven't you already given it to them? How dare they accept it? Do they know how much it costs?"
Boss Su frowned slightly, "Hongxiu, I told you, the Xia family is different, you can't say that about them, I'm willing to give my life to them."
"Just this once, you're giving them gifts and opportunities to make money. People like them are pretending to be ignorant even though they know the truth. They'll have to rely on you in the future."
Boss Su looked displeased, but the woman knew better and stopped talking.
"etc!"
Xia Zhiliao suddenly stopped, and Xia Chenshi was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong? Zhiliao?"
"Mom, what did Boss Su call that auntie just now?"
"Is it Hongxiu?"
Xia Chen thought about it and said, "It seems so. Is there anything wrong?"
The reason she asked this was because she knew her daughter wouldn't say anything for no reason.
[Hongxiu, the woman who had an affair with someone behind Master Su's back and stole a large sum of money, almost causing the Su family to go bankrupt, and Master Su was so worried that he fell ill? ]
After hearing this, Xia Chen's heart skipped a beat. Boss Su was such a good person. She really couldn't bear to see him being harmed like this.
"Zhiliao, is that woman not okay?" she asked deliberately.
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "I don't like her a little bit, but... it's useless if I don't like her."
Xia Chen sighed, "Today is your grandmother and grandfather Wei's wedding day, and it is also your brother's full moon banquet. It's better to have less trouble than more. Let's talk about it later. What do you think?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "You are right."
What the mother and daughter didn't know was that Master Su was very unhappy because of Hongxiu's attitude towards them.
In his heart, no one is more important than his son, and the Xia family is the one who saved his son, so that makes them even more important.
Hongxiu's attitude towards the mother and daughter made him feel that this woman was inconsiderate and ungrateful, so he lost the intention of marrying her.
But it’s not easy to say this in front of someone else’s table.
Hongxiu still didn't know what Mr. Su was thinking. She was still complaining about a pearl bracelet, simply because she didn't have one yet.
And Master Su was so willing to give it to an unrelated girl.
"I know, sister!"
Hearing the voice, Xia Zhiliao knew who it was, "Why are you here?"
Su Mingzhan took a deep breath and said, "Nothing."
"Isn't my third brother with you?"
"He's gone to work."
"Are you unhappy?"
Su Mingzhan nodded, then shook his head, "No, today is a good day, how can I not be happy?"
"You are just unhappy. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Humph!" Xia Zhiliao said and was about to leave.
Su Mingzhan was so scared that he quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't be angry, I... I am not happy, but when I see you, I am happy."
"Why are you unhappy?" Xia Zhiliao suddenly thought of the woman in the yard, "Is it because of Hongxiu?"
Su Mingzhan did not deny it this time, "Yeah."
"You don't like her, or is it because you don't like her being around your dad?"
"Both." Su Mingzhan said truthfully, "I have lived with my father since I was a child. Although I am sad without a mother, I am also unhappy if there is one more person."
"So you don't want anyone to steal your father from you?"
Su Mingzhan sighed, "It's half and half. The main reason is that I don't like this Hongxiu either. She's not as good as Aunt Xia."
"What are you thinking about? That's my mother." Xia Zhiliao glared at him. Although she had thought that if her father turned bad, it would be fine to let her mother get along well with Boss Su.
But that's just a thought. Isn't her father fine now?
