Su Xiao looked at the two elders, her eyes flashing slightly, and chuckled softly, "Alright."
The two elderly people's attitude was already very clear. Su Xiao felt a bit conflicted, but ultimately decided to let things take their course.
Although Grandma Su's attitude towards the second wife did change considerably after her parents passed away, there was no right or wrong in this; it was simply a matter of human bias.
At this point, whatever the reason that prompted the two elders to want to make amends, she may not accept it, but there is really no need for her to.
The other party is quite old, and she wouldn't have much time to spend with them anyway, so why create unnecessary trouble?
Su Xiao's nod pleased the two elders, who then served her food and urged them to eat more.
Seeing this, Huang Feiyan felt a pang of sadness. She had never been treated like this at home; they always favored her brother.
Everyone had their own thoughts while eating the meal. After finishing, Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan took the initiative to clear the dishes. Grandpa Su wanted to stop them, but Grandma Su held them back.
Grandma Su pulled Grandpa Su into the yard, and Grandpa Su said impatiently, "Why are we making her wash the dishes? Didn't we say we were going to treat her well?"
Grandma Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can't you see how polite the child is to us? Your constant flattery will only make the child more resentful. Let's just let things take their course. I think I've figured it out now; Xiaoxiao is shrewd and filial... Let's leave it at that."
Grandma Su looked at the girl in the kitchen, who was moving nimbly and laughing, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
In the afternoon, Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and the black market to buy enough rice, flour, vegetables, fish and meat.
When he took it home, Grandpa Su looked at it but didn't say anything more.
So Huang Feiyan stayed at Su Xiao's house. The two of them went in and out together, which was noticed by all the neighbors. Although the Huang family and the Su family lived so close, not a single member of the Huang family came to visit Huang Feiyan, as if they really didn't care about their daughter at all.
Su Xiao saw Huang Feiyan walk slowly and look dim in the eyes when she passed by her house more than once.
They never expected the Huang family to be so resolute.
The day after returning, Su Xiao visited the Shu family with gifts.
Shu Zhendong, Xu Xiuyun, and Shu Bowen were all very happy to see her.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to come back? If you do, your uncle can make arrangements for you."
Deputy Factory Director Li, Director Sun, Director Tang, and their group have all fallen from power and been brought to justice. Now, the political situation in Nancheng is much cleaner, and Shu Zhendong is the only one who can do what he wants in the machinery factory. His power is even more secure, and it would be easier for him to make arrangements for Xiao Xiao than before. That's why he made this request.
“Yes, Xiaoxiao, come back.” Shu Bowen also urged. He had advised her in a previous letter, and today, when her father brought up the topic, he couldn’t help but agree.
Unfortunately, Su Xiao shook her head again, "No need, thank you Uncle Shu."
Shu Zhendong nodded, respecting her wishes, and seeing that she was unwilling, he didn't bring up the topic again.
Shu Bowen wanted to offer some advice, but Su Xiao and Xu Xiuyun were already chatting, and he couldn't get a word in edgewise when it came to women's conversations, so he had no choice but to give up.
On the third day after returning, Su Wei came to the Su family home.
Su Xiao was quite surprised to see Su Wei again; he looked much more mature and composed.
"Xiaoxiao, how have you been? I heard you were back, so I came to see you." Su Wei smiled, his eyes filled with concern.
Su Xiao couldn't understand him for a moment, and just smiled and said, "I'm fine. How about you? Are you adjusting well to working in the factory?"
