Chapter 80 Who Moved Her Backpack



The eldest brother-in-law was quite obedient. He said a few words to my father and then left.

Lu Xiumei also began to tuck the two children into their quilts. Looking at their running noses, Susu felt that she would probably have to take apart all the quilts in her house once the others left.

Fortunately, the quilt they were covering themselves with now was the one that Lu's mother brought from the front yard, but it was also their own quilt.

Lu's mother liked children, so she played with them for a while and it took her more than an hour to put them to sleep.

Susu didn't sleep well that night because there were suddenly so many people on the kang and she was not used to it. Also, just when she seemed to have fallen asleep, the child got up and went to the bathroom, which took a long time.

In addition, everyone was busy in the morning and she didn't even have time to wash her face.

After everything was packed, everyone went straight to Lu Donghe's house because they were going to welcome the bride in the morning.

Su Su didn't know how to do anything. She just picked some vegetables like everyone else and stood aside quietly.

At noon she suddenly felt a palpitation, as if something was about to happen.

Then suddenly, something flashed through her mind, as if something told her that someone had moved her backpack. That was the only thing she brought with her and the most important thing, so Su Su rushed out of Lu Donghe's house and ran straight to her own yard without thinking.

When I pushed the door open, I found my eldest sister, her husband, and two children in the room. Her room seemed to have been robbed, and even the kitchen had been turned upside down. The two children in particular were now pulling things out of their backpacks. My underwear and wallet were not pulled out, fortunately they had not been opened.

Su Su felt angrier than ever before and shouted, "What are you doing?"

The two kids were used to being yelled at at home and ignored her. One of them even tried to tear the cake she brought. Fortunately, they were only interested in eating. If they were interested in something else, it would be terrible.

Su Su didn't care about anything else and crawled onto the kang. Then her brother-in-law stopped her and said, "Don't be anxious, sister-in-law. Children like to play. I'll let your sister..." But before she could finish her words, her hand was opened.

She didn't care who the other party was, and went straight to the bed to grab her things from the two children and put them back into her backpack. But the two children burst into tears because she was too tough and didn't discuss it with them. Su Su didn't care about them and packed her backpack and held it in her arms without going anywhere. She curled up in a corner and said, "Please go out and don't come to my house again."

"Sister-in-law, look at what you said. Is it worth it for such a small thing?"

The eldest sister Luo Xiumei said immediately.

"Get out." Su Su stared at her word by word and said with gritted teeth.

The backpack she brought was her life. Not only could they not touch it casually, she would not even look favorably upon her father or mother.

As for Ruichuan, he didn't seem to be that annoying, but that didn't work either.

The eldest brother-in-law frowned and said, "It's like no one wants to come to your house. You were so poor before, but now you look down on others just because you have some dirty money, right? Let's go." After saying that, he picked up the child and left.

"Da Qiang, Da Qiang, we are here at uncle's house to spend the gift money, so we have to finish our meal before leaving." Lu Xiumei glared at Su Su and chased after her.

But after they left, Susu closed the door and hung all the doors in her room.

She was also afraid that the only thing she brought with her would be taken away.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Lu's father as soon as they reached the door. Lu's father asked, "Why are you here? What are you doing?"

The eldest brother-in-law said, "Go home. We dare not stay in this precious place of yours."

"What's wrong?" asked the father puzzledly.

Su Su thought in her room that if her father or mother sided with their daughter and son-in-law, she would go to Luchuan and never come here again. However, she did not expect that her elder brother-in-law would twist the facts. He shouted loudly: "We just stayed at his house for a while, but he came back unhappy and told us to get out. I have never seen anyone treat guests like this. He is just a city dweller who looks down on people."

Bullshit, I didn't expect him to be so unrealistic.

Su Su stopped shutting herself up. She put her backpack in the closet, opened the door, stood at the gate and said coldly, "It's none of your business whether I entertain guests or not. Even if I won't entertain guests again, I still held a blindness elimination class at home last year. The young and old in the village learned a lot from me. Why didn't I chase them out?"

While they were arguing, they attracted the guests who were preparing for the wedding banquet in the front yard, including the three brothers of the Lu family and Lu Donghe's younger brother. As a result, they heard what Su Su said, and those who had come here to learn to read thought that what she said was not wrong.

"That's because they are useful to you. Our family is of no use to you, so just ignore us." The eldest brother-in-law said angrily, and then the child in his arms kept crying, as if the child was being bullied.

Su Su slammed the door open and said coldly, "Is this a question of whether it is useful or not? It's a question of basic human qualities. I thought everyone knew not to touch things in someone else's home, but look at what you did? You all know how much rice, flour, grain and oil are in my kitchen, but you opened the cupboard and rummaged through things without even locking it. What's more, you turned my cupboard upside down. If I lose money, do I have to ask you for it?"

Mother Lu also heard it, her face darkened and she quickly went into the house to take a look. Su Su's small home was basically run by her son and herself, and she often came to help clean up so she was very familiar with where things were placed. Without a close look, it was indeed turned over, especially Su Su's big backpack, which was indeed moved. It was just placed casually, and she used to put it in the innermost part, and a few small quilts were pressed on it to be very careful.

Her heart sank and she asked, "Did you guys look through Su Su's things?"

Luo Xiumei shook her head and said, "No, it wasn't us, it was the children who were hungry and messed around."

"Hungry? If you're hungry, you can just rummage in the kitchen. Why are you rummaging through my backpack?" Su Su said immediately, "The child is ignorant, but are you adults also ignorant? You actually let the child rummage around."

"How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid of people seeing the only things in your backpack that contain some indecent clothes? Just two straps and two big bags..." After saying that, he measured them.

Su Su was completely stunned. She gritted her teeth and said, "That's women's underwear, you shameless man." She looked for something to hit him with, but before she could do anything, she saw a black thing coming down from above and hitting Daqiang on the back.

He was beaten so hard that he groaned and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up. Then, his father continued to beat him with the money shovel, saying, "You bastard, you cuckold, get out of here and don't come here again."

Luo Xiumei immediately went over to stop him and said, "Daddy, please stop hitting him. He is holding the child."

"Hug? Pinching is more like it. I stood by and saw him pinching his own child to make him cry. He did such a sneaky thing and still wanted to use the child as a weapon. What a black-hearted person. You too, this is your man, how can you not care about it? Are you dead?" The father pointed at his adopted daughter and scolded her.

"He's right. Those things are not decent. Who knows where they came from to seduce the old men." Lu Xiumei listens to her husband in everything. It has become a habit over the years.

So at this moment, she immediately spoke up for her husband, completely forgetting that this was her parents' home.

Su Su felt very aggrieved, but she did not cry. Instead, she looked at Luo Xiumei sarcastically and said, "You are ignorant. This is what people in the south do now. Besides, how can you say that about your own brother's wife? Which old man did I seduce? Tell me about it."

She does have a good temper, but she is not someone who can be manipulated by others. If you want to bully her, it depends on whether she is willing or not. She can also say nasty things, and I don't believe that they are justified in going to other people's place and messing around with things.

Luo's mother had long known the character of this adopted daughter and her son-in-law. They had pity on her because she had no parents, and had always spoiled her, but they had never thought that she would no longer be the head of their family after marriage. She had long been disappointed by this, but she had never expected that they would come back to offend their daughter-in-law.

Everyone was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and most importantly, her son was satisfied. She had been here for such a long time and they knew her personality. She had only spoken to her son a few times alone with other men.

So, they definitely believed in this child.

"Don't come back in the future. Just think of it as our family raising you for so many years in vain. Go away, and don't come back in the future." Mother Lu waved her hand, then signaled her sons to drive them away.

Lu Hai also didn't like hearing them insulting his sister-in-law, so he reached out and dragged the so-called brother-in-law out.

Xiumei had never thought that her parents, who had supported her in the past, would be so resolute to drive them away. She could not help but feel unwilling and said, "Mom, why are you driving us away? She is obviously an outsider."

"Hey, it's you, the young lady, who said that. She is the daughter-in-law that the Lu family spent money to marry, and the children born in the future will have the surname Lu. You are an outsider. Don't you know that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out?" The widow Qiao from the village was also there, and she couldn't help but speak for Su Su, who had given her gifts in the past and made her famous.

However, what she said was true. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water, so Lu Xiumei is an outsider.

"They promised my father that they would raise me, so they have to support me for the rest of my life." Xiumei shouted out what was in her mind, and then she found that the faces of the people around her were not very good, especially her father.

He was never a talkative person, but now after hearing what Xiumei said, he realized that this girl was an ungrateful person. He didn't owe her father anything, and he only agreed to raise his daughter because they were brothers. So he sighed and said, "I did promise your father to raise you, but when you insisted on marrying this man, our family no longer had the obligation to raise you. I can't say whether I can raise my own children for a lifetime, and you are not my own child."

Luo Xiumei was completely stunned. She had never thought that her parents would abandon her.

Fortunately, the eldest aunt came at this time and said a few words to mediate. Their family was having a wedding today, so everyone gave her face and did not bring it up again. But Daqiang was not going to do it. He twisted his painful wrist and stood up, saying, "We came here to drink and spend the wedding money, but we are not happy to be treated like this. Let this shameless woman spend the wedding money for us. I am covered in wounds, and she has to pay for my medical treatment."

When the aunt heard this, she thought, this is just a scoundrel.

At this time, Li Donghe also arrived at the scene. After learning the whole story, he frowned when he saw Su Su's face flushed with anger.

"We are asking for your gift money just like we are relatives, but you are so unreasonable and you should not come to our house anymore." Lu Donghe used to think that this brother-in-law was not a good person. He was always scary and asked Lu Xiumei to come when he asked for something from the Lu family. He didn't come home for two or three years because he didn't get the money. When she gave birth, she spent some money on Xin'er and everyone else, but he sent them back without any excuses and didn't even provide a banquet.

This time he might have come for Su Su, so he searched her backpack. The child was not searching, he was probably looking for money.

It can be said that what he thought was true, and this man really had such an idea in mind.

"We rushed here from home, and this is how you treat us?"

Daqiang didn't expect that Lu Donghe would actually chase him away. Isn't he getting married? Doesn't he want the gift money?

"Marriage is a major event in life and a happy one. If I entertain someone like you, I'm afraid I'll be unhappy after my marriage." Su Su glanced at the family and said, "You thief still has the nerve to stand here. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

She turned around and went back to her room. She was so angry that she felt dizzy and didn't want to see this family. She hadn't recovered much from donating blood, and she didn't sleep well yesterday. Now she was dizzy.

It was just a harsh remark, but suddenly a man on a bicycle came over in a hurry and said, "Da Qiangzi, you guys should go home quickly. I met someone from your village outside the village and he said that your house caught fire for some reason and the village is now putting out the fire."

"What?" Daqiang stopped making a fuss and ran away with his child and wife.

Su Su was also startled, and said helplessly: "I just said it casually."

Mother Luo said: "Lu Hai, go and follow and see..."

"No, I still have to eat." Lu Hai snorted and ran to Lu Donghe's house.

Lu's mother had no choice. What her daughter and son-in-law did today was indeed very wrong. So she said to Su Su, "Come in. I'll have someone call you after dinner."

"Yeah." Su Su went back to the house and checked her backpack. She knew everything in the backpack since she brought it here.

After checking, I found that a lighter was missing, but everything else was intact.

The lighter was not hers, but a male classmate's. He was afraid that he would get addicted to cigarettes when they were on the bus, so he asked her to hold it for him and give it to her when they got to the station. Originally, she didn't think of the thing as hers. But it was there, and she had kept it in the bag with her cosmetics, but now she couldn't find it.

Thinking about the fire in my eldest sister’s house, it couldn’t really be retribution.

She zipped up her bag, then remembered that she had not confirmed whether the money in her wallet had been touched, so she quickly zipped it up to check again. As a result, she found that the lighter had returned, and the place was clearly empty just now. Su Su was sure of this.

If it is stolen, can you get it back by yourself? What if you use it yourself?

She took the lighter to the stove, lit it, and then deliberately left it next to the stove without moving.

I went back and sat on the kang, but soon after I was called by Hai to eat. When I was leaving, I saw the lighter was still next to the stove. I didn't know if it would automatically go back when I came back at night.

When I arrived at Lu Donghe's house, I found that their food was not as good as Lu Chuan's. There were only six dishes, and there were not many meat dishes.

However, for a hastily arranged wedding, it was already quite good to have such dishes.

As a member of the Lu family, she could not sit at the front seat. She could only stand aside and help serve dishes and rice, and sometimes even pour wine.

These mothers have taught her that they won't make fun of her. And Su Su is really obedient and not afraid of being naggard.

As for what happened just now, no one mentioned it again. After all, it was a wedding.

At this time, Lu Donghe and Qin Yueyue came out to toast everyone, but Qin Yueyue's face did not look very good, and she looked like she was forcing a smile.

Doesn't she love the male protagonist? She even gave her body to him. If that's the case, then just live a good life.

Su Su didn't think too much about it. She stepped aside and watched with a smile as they toasted the men, women, and children in the village.

However, the two of them just held a cup and drank a sip at each table. Knowing that they were having their wedding night, no one toasted them too hard. It was not like the time in Luchuan, when there were some bad guys in it.

During the process, Qin Yueyue choked because of the wine, so Lu Donghe patted her on the back and said, "After the toast, go to the back room and rest."

"Yeah." Qin Yueyue glanced at Su Su and said, "Comrade Su, do you have time to sit in the back room later?"

"No, I have to go home and heat the kang after dinner." Su Su would never get involved with the heroine again. This girl is full of tricks and she doesn't know if she will plot against her family.

Qin Yueyue seemed heartbroken for a moment, then lowered her head and went back to the back room.

She was an interesting person. Although the conditions of Lu Donghe's family were better than those of Lu's father, the place they lived in was not as good as what Lu's father and his family had arranged. The two of them lived in the back room. There was only a glass wall between the main room and the back room, so they could hear any movement.

It would be strange if this couple could do things happily. Anyway, when she was with Ruchuan, she had to scream out loud or she would suffocate.

Well, why would I think of that? It's really shameless.

No, we are husband and wife now. Why should we still have shame?

She retracted her gaze, but she didn't know that this hurt Qin Yueyue's heart. She felt that Su Su must be mocking her in her heart, marrying into Lu Chuan and having such a good independent courtyard instead of squeezing into a small dark room with Lu Donghe. She was indeed a little stupid, avoiding Lu Chuan but not Lu Donghe. This is her fate in this life, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she went into the house.

Su Su didn't even look at her. After she finished entertaining the guests, she sat at the table with Lu Mu to eat.

When the second meal was served, there were only four dishes, and they were all eaten up. Su Su didn't like it very much, so she only ate a few mouthfuls of rice and put it down to go home.

Luo's mother didn't stop her because she could see that her daughter-in-law was a little unwell.

After all, she had donated blood before, and others didn't know about it, but her son had told her. But she didn't say anything. After all, it was a young person's own business, and she didn't want to interfere too much and be disliked.

After Su Su returned home, she heated up some food and ate it alone, but she still felt a little empty inside. It was the first time she missed him so much since he left. She didn't know what he was doing. She didn't have a cell phone at this time, so it was difficult to have a video call with him.

Suddenly she thought of the lighter she had left there when she had dinner. It seemed that she had used it to light the fire just now. This meant that if someone stole something from her backpack, it would probably return automatically, and she might even be punished. But if she took it and threw it away, it would not return automatically.

It's really amazing.

However, thinking about those people who had touched the things in her backpack today, she wanted to take them out and wash them. But when she thought that putting them into the backpack was like refreshing it, she didn't feel so disgusted.

Now she is also lazy, she doesn't wash the clothes she takes off, and she puts them in the backpack and they are automatically cleaned. But it is only used for the things she brings, not other things.

After much difficulty, the marriage of Lu Donghe was completed, and she slept in her own room again. Now that the weather was gradually getting warmer, she didn't have to burn so much firewood on weekdays. She wondered if she should go to visit Lu Chuan during the busy farming season.

He didn't know when he would be allowed to join the army, but he didn't apply because his mother wouldn't let him. Mainly because he thought the young widow he married later was a bit immoral and was afraid that she would embarrass him.

I'm not doing anything improper, so I should just let him go, right?

Finally I slept well. The next day when I went to the front yard to eat, I saw my aunt sitting on her kang crying. I couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"It's nothing. The rice is in the pot. Take it out and eat it yourself."

After saying this, Mother Lu continued to persuade the aunt, "Young people like them are so unstable, quarreling at every turn. They will be fine after a while."

"Your son and his wife just got married, but we never saw them quarrelling. They go out hand in hand, which makes people envious. Look at my two, they quarreled on the first night of their wedding. His father and I couldn't persuade them, so we moved to the west room and squeezed in with the youngest son, just to avoid making them unhappy. But they still quarreled all night."

The eldest aunt wiped her tears as she spoke, and then said, "If it really doesn't work out, let's split up the family."

"What family division? Your daughter-in-law left right away. Where will your eldest son go after the family division?"

"I have no other choice. We can't just move out and leave our property to them, right?"

Mother Lu glanced at Su Su without saying anything, and said, "Just put up with it for two days." She comforted her aunt a few words and sent her away. Finally, she looked at Su Su and said, "Su Su, I have something to discuss with you."

Su Su nodded. In fact, she guessed what Lu Mu meant, but she didn't want to express her opinion.

"Qin Yueyue will be gone in less than a month. How about letting the couple stay at our house for a few days and then we can live in the backyard?"

"That's fine." Isn't it enough to let the young couple occupy her little home?

When Lu's mother heard her agreement, she was relieved and said, "Don't worry about the quarrels at home. The spring ploughing season is coming soon. Your father-in-law and your brothers have to get up in the morning to collect manure to earn work points. Then they have to go up the mountain to deliver manure, so they don't have much time to be at home."
