Lin Ai Qiu took off the white cloth on her head and walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
He was covered in mud.
Just as I arrived at the entrance of Sujia Village, someone shouted from behind.
"Mom Su!"
Lin Ai Qiu walked faster when he heard the sound. He took two quick steps and didn't notice a big puddle under his feet. He fell forward with a "splash" and his body sank into the mud. He fell flat on his face, with mud all over his face.
The person behind her was still chasing her and walked up to her and squatted down.
Lin Ai Qiu rolled her eyes.
The person behind him said, "Sister-in-law Su, why are you running? I called you a few times just now and you didn't respond."
Lin Ai Qiu turned her head away silently!
No, this is not me! You got the wrong person!
If you want to talk about evil, you should let evil be the one to deal with it.
The visitor was Su Qian from Sujia Village, nicknamed Su Da Laba. The reason for calling her Su Da Laba was very simple. This person had a flamboyant personality. A man in his forties, he wore bell-bottom pants all day long. He was the "little foreigner" in the village. He liked to make friends with all kinds of people in the village, from village committee cadres to local hooligans. He was well-informed about gossip and loved to stir up trouble.
The two of them had never interfered with each other, but a conflict arose during the autumn harvest.
The fields of the two families were adjacent to each other. Lin Ai Qiu had a dispute with Su Da Laba over the uneven wheat harvest. Afterwards, Su Da Laba revealed all the trivial things that Lin Ai Qiu had done, from big things like Lin Ai Qiu stealing grain, oil and noodles from the team to small things like she stole a few fruits from the neighbor's house. Su Da Laba thoroughly exposed Lin Ai Qiu and her reputation in the Su family team was completely ruined.
Lin Ai Qiu was so angry that she went straight to Su Da Laba to have a quarrel.
As a result of the quarrel, Lin Ai Qiu's old accounts were thoroughly exposed by the loudspeaker.
During those days, Lin Ai Qiu felt like someone was poking her spine and scolding her whenever she walked on the street.
If you can't provoke her, Lin Ai Qiu can avoid her.
From then on, Lin Ai Qiu kept her distance from Su Da Laba. Who knew that this plague god would suddenly show up at her doorstep today.
Before Lin Aiqiu could think about it, Su Da Laba helped her up and said softly, "Sister-in-law, look how careless you are."
Lin Ai Qiu, who was about to hear the quarrel, was stunned and pinched her thigh hard.
It hurts! It’s true!
Su Da Laba looked at Lin Ai Qiu's dull look and thought that she would not fall and become stupid, so he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Lin Ai Qiu's face.
As soon as the sticky feeling on her face disappeared, Su Da Laba held her hand and said affectionately, "Sister-in-law Su, I haven't seen you for a long time. Our Meimei has become successful in the city. As a mother, why don't you treat us villagers to a meal? It's so lively!"
Before Lin Aiqiu could react, he asked, "What's going on?"
Su Da Laba deliberately turned his face away and said, "Sister-in-law of the Su family, you are being so boring. Xiao Zhao in the city said that he saw your Meimei sitting at a banquet of a wealthy family. Xiao Zhao even emphasized that it was the host seat!"
"Are you sure?" Lin Ai Qiu's voice trembled a little.
Su Da Laba nodded.
Lin Ai Qiu looked at Su Da Laba and felt dazed. Her head was buzzing and even her feet were floating.
Without bothering to chat with Su Da Laba, he stumbled home.
That girl Su Nianmei has grown up?
How is this possible!
His other two children were still digging in the soil for food, how could that girl become rich!
Su Sixia saw her mother coming back from inside the room, so she quickly slipped off the kang, stuffed the picture book she was reading under the mattress, stood up and welcomed her mother in. When she saw that her mother looked unhappy, she said, "Mom, please sit down and have a rest."
As soon as Lin Ai Qiu entered the room, he saw a notebook on the kang and a few sheets of rough paper dropped on the ground.
The light was dim. Her little daughter tucked her hands into her sleeves, breathing out white air, and did not forget to get off the kang to pour a glass of water for her mother.
She felt a little distressed. She thought it was because she was incompetent that she couldn't even get the money, and she even caused her child to suffer with her.
The more she thought about it, the more she hated Su Nianmei. She also raised a child, so how could Su Nianmei be so heartless? She has become rich, but she doesn't even help her own family. She is still a cheap woman!
Lin Ai Qiu took the water cup and held it in her arms. Her body warmed up a little. She looked at her little daughter with eyes and nose. She was pleased with her. She drank a sip of water and said, "Our Xia'er is sensible. Su Nianmei is a wolf boy! She won't even give me money when I ask her. I raised her for nothing."
Su Sixia sat back on the kang, feeling proud, scribbling on the paper, but she said without showing any emotion: "Mom, don't talk about my sister like that, she may have some difficulties."
Lin Ai Qiu thought about how she was chased and beaten by Jin Chunfen today and how she lost face in front of the village. She was so angry that she snorted and laughed, "What difficulties could Su Nianmei have? You haven't even seen that..." Lin Ai Qiu thought of how Su Da Laba was flattering her because of Su Nianmei, and she felt unhappy.
Then he said, "Not only did she not give it, she must have persuaded her in-laws not to give it either."
"I've lost all my face today. That damn girl and her mother-in-law didn't give me a penny."
"If I had known, I would not have let her into our house!"
Su Huailin, who had just returned, stood at the door with a cloth bag on his back. Just as he was about to push the door open, his heart skipped a beat and he leaned against the door to listen.
Su Sixia caught the point and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about! Why don't you let my sister in?"
Realizing what she had said, Lin Ai Qiu suddenly retracted her mouth. It was not possible now. That damn girl Su Nianmei had just become rich recently, and she had to hold on to this fortune tree tightly.
Lin Ai Qiu shook his head. Su Huailin looked at his mother, obviously a little absent-minded. His mother said, "It's nothing. I said I shouldn't have given birth to Su Nianmei."
Su Sixia nodded and said "Oh", but she was only thinking about the plot of her picture book.
Lin Ai Qiu went out of the room to pour out the remaining tea leaves in the cup. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her precious child squatting outside with a bag in her arms.
Lin Ai Qiu patted his precious child on the back and asked, "Ah Huai, what's wrong with you?"
Su Huailin sniffed and said in a muffled voice: "Not very good, I miss my milk."
Seeing her son so sad, Lin Ai Qiu pulled him up, took out an egg that she herself couldn't bear to eat, and stuffed it into Su Huailin's palm, saying, "It's all over. Your task is to study hard for us. Don't think about anything else. It's useless to think about it."
Su Sixia, who was sitting at the window, sneered, pulled the picture book out from under the mattress and continued reading.
Su Huailin nodded, went into the room and put down his bag. Lin Ai Qiu asked him to go to the ancestral hall to deliver food to his father Su Jianguo.
The Su Family Ancestral Hall has a history of one hundred years. The body of Old Mrs. Su is wrapped in a coffin and placed in the center of the hall.
Su Huailin walked around the yard but couldn't find Su Jianguo. All he could think about was what his mother said.
His mother could fool Su Sixia, but she couldn't fool him.
Su Huailin stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, holding the egg that was still warm in his hand. He felt even worse when he thought about how his sister Su Nianmei had never tasted an egg in this family.
I was ignorant when I was a child, but now that I have received education, grown up and become mature, I feel more and more that what I did before was wrong.
Suddenly he felt something pulling him from behind, and he lowered his head.
The exposed little hand was white and chubby, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Su Huailin was stunned. He had never seen such a handsome child.
His clothes were clean and decent, his peach blossom eyes were bright and lively, and he looked to be about five or six years old.
Su Huailin squatted down, and the child pointed at the egg in his hand.
He opened his hand and asked, "Want it?"
The child nodded, and Su Huailin handed the egg over.
Su Nianmei was kneeling in the ancestral hall. After a while, Gu Xiaobao ran over happily, pulled the cushion next to Su Nianmei with his little hands, and sat down next to Su Nianmei with his chubby little legs crossed.
He took out an egg from his arms, smashed it on the ground, cracked the shell, took out a small blue handkerchief, spread it on the ground, and held the eggshell with his short little fingers.
The eggshells were put back on the small handkerchief.
After finally peeling an egg, the little guy let out an "ah". Su Nianmei opened her mouth, and the little guy fed the egg to his mother bit by bit, not letting Su Nianmei do it herself.
Su Huailin stood at the door, looking at the scene inside.
The girl was kneeling on a futon, wearing fashionable clothes and with her hair tied up, looking neat and tidy.
Since childhood, Amelia Su felt that her sister was different from them.
Now Amelia Su finally understood that Su Nianmei was mature when she was a child, or was forced to mature.
Since he was a child, he felt that his sister was stupid and seemed to be missing a string in her brain. When he and Su Sixia fought for a few more mouthfuls of porridge and cried loudly to win Lin Aiqiu's favor, his sister would just sit beside them and lick the bottom of the bowl.
Now it seems that it’s not that we don’t ask, but that we cannot get it even if we try.
His mother wouldn't even give his sister a glance, and if she got angry, she would just beat her up even more.
How disappointed she must have been with her relatives at that time.
Thinking about his childhood, Su Huailin felt more and more that what his mother said was true - perhaps his sister really was not their child.
Thinking of this, Amelia Su frowned.
A crisp voice was calling "Mom" in my ear.
Su Huailin woke up from his memories.
When he looked up, he saw his aunt raising her hand, picking up a stick and about to hit Su Nianmei on the back.
Su Huailin pounced on him.
The boy's thin body blocked the girl's back.
Shielded her from danger.
"Are you a fool? Why don't you know to hide?" he said.
