Chapter 51 How can I compare with her
"Your woman?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow in surprise, his eyes wandering between the two of them. "Is she naturalized?"
Xie Song's expression changed instantly, and Yao Suer's face also looked unhappy, with her eyes somewhat evasive.
"They didn't become naturalized citizens, yet they got married and had children. This is called collusion."
Su Cheng's eyes flashed with disdain, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. "You really have become stupid from farming. How come you don't understand the law at all? If you dare to provoke me, I can go to the government and sue you for bigamy at any time. When that happens, not only will you be imprisoned and punished, but the woman you protect with all your might will also be drowned in a pond."
Xie Jinyu looked at her sideways, the corners of her lips curled slightly, her posture casual and frivolous, "You think so lowly of yourself that you're not even a concubine. Are you imitating those rich families who keep concubines?"
Yao Suer took two steps back, her face pale. She bit her lower lip tightly, tears rolling down her eyes. "How could you humiliate me like this..."
"You belittle yourself, yet you blame others for humiliating you?" Su Cheng shook his head and sighed, "You came to me with your child in your arms and challenged me, your wife. You know how well-mannered you are."
"Su Cheng!" Xie Song couldn't bear to see his lover being bullied, so he shouted angrily and picked up the spoon at hand and threw it at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng wanted to dodge, but Xie Jinyu reacted faster, caught the flying spoon, and threw it to the ground.
The spoon shattered, just like the relationship between the Xie brothers.
Xie Jinyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his brows were gloomy. "How dare you attack her in front of me?"
Xie Song had never seen his frail third brother look so sinister before. He was stunned for a moment and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
"Jinyu." Su Cheng raised his hand to stop him from moving forward and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. We have a better way. Don't take action."
Unable to control this gentleman, she was afraid that two corpses would appear at her doorstep tomorrow morning.
"You...why are you all treating me like this?" Xie Song didn't understand why everyone in his family had changed so much since he had only been gone for a year. "We are obviously a family, we are brothers! Why are you favoring Su Cheng?"
"People are all made of flesh and blood. If I survive, my only thought will be to go home and reunite with my family, so they don't suffer the pain of missing me. I wouldn't do what you did, abandoning your children, having children with someone else, and then coming back after gaining weight to ask why we don't understand you."
"How can you compare with her?" Xie Jinyu stood in front of Su Cheng, looking coldly at the family member who was once the most familiar to her, and said with a piercing tone, "I would rather my elder brother die than see him become like this."
"Xie Lang and I are truly in love." Yao Su'er was so angry that she mustered up the courage to speak, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please help me, Sister Su. You are good-looking and you have no shortage of men to love you, but Xie Lang is the only one I have. I..."
"How dare you talk to my sister-in-law?" Xie Jinyu's eyes were cold, and the look she gave her was like a venomous snake staring at its prey. "I never said I wouldn't hit a woman."
Hearing this, Yao Suer was frightened and quickly hid behind Xie Song.
Xie Song narrowed his eyes and glared coldly at the woman opposite him. "Su Cheng, you are so capable! You seduced my second and third brothers and made us brothers close the wall. When I first saw you at the Su family, you looked so skinny and small, but I never thought you were such a vixen!"
"When we first met, you seemed like a decent person, but I never thought you were doing such a bastard thing." Su Cheng counterattacked calmly. Seeing his face as black as charcoal, he raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Do you know what bigamy is?"
Xie Song clenched his teeth and said nothing more.
Yao Su'er glanced around at the faces of the few people, then suddenly knelt down in front of Su Cheng, sobbing uncontrollably, "Sister Su, please give our family of three a way out! My daughter Zhao Zhao is only two months old, she can't live without her parents, please help me!"
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What does your daughter's life or death have to do with me?"
Yao Suer looked up in shock and murmured, "You are also a woman, are you really going to be so heartless?"
"Children can't choose their parents, but you can choose not to let her be born. You gave birth to her without my consent. You are the heartless one." Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, a smile in his eyes. "You don't need to use the word morality to persuade me. Even if you say it to the sky, it won't change the fact that she was born out of wedlock."
"Poisonous woman, you——"
"mother!"
The child who suddenly ran into the yard scared Xie Song, and he had to shut his mouth and swallow back the curses.
"Xie Chen?" Su Cheng saw him running out of breath, and a sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart, "What's wrong with you?"
"Mom, Cuicui is missing!" Xie Chen's eyes were red. Seeing her was like seeing a savior. "I went to the ditch to look for her, but no one said they had seen Cuicui. Grandpa Du and the officials have already gone to the village entrance to look for her!"
"Cui Cui is usually very well-behaved, why would she run away without saying a word?" Su Cheng's face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He glanced sideways at Yao Suer who was supported by Xie Song.
Xie Jinyu also looked at the two of them, gritted her teeth and pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you to find Cuicui."
Xie Cuicui disappeared for no reason. Su Cheng was anxious and walked out with him.
When he reached the door, Su Cheng turned around and looked at the woman nestled in Xie Song's arms with a gloomy look in his eyes. He said in a cold tone, "If I knew that Cuicui's departure from home was related to you, I would never let you go so easily."
Yao Suer paused slightly, looked at her sideways, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
-
"Cui Cui! Thank you Cuicui!"
Su Cheng walked along the ditch, her ankle swollen and painful, but as it got dark, there was still no sign of her daughter, so she didn't dare to stop for a moment.
"Ah Cheng!"
Aunt Liu's voice came from behind. Su Cheng turned around and saw her running towards him, followed by forty or fifty villagers holding torches.
"Ah Cheng, I heard Cui Jie'er is missing?" Aunt Liu looked anxious, barely catching her breath. "We'll go look for her with you."
"This..." Su Cheng looked around, a little flattered, "Why are there so many people?"
"When everyone heard that your Xie family had lost their child, they were extremely anxious. Every household sent one person out to help look for Cui Jie'er." Aunt Liu patted the back of her hand and grumbled in a low voice, "You've been busy all day, and your foot is still injured."
"That's right, Xie's wife, let us help."
"Your family has worked hard for us all day. If you don't do something, I will feel really bad."
"If you hadn't driven off the bandits, it would be a question whether we could survive!"
Su Cheng's eyes were a little moist. Seeing that they really wanted to help, he stopped refusing and said, "Then I'll trouble you, uncles and aunts. It's getting dark, and it's really dangerous for Cuicui to be outside alone."
“Cui Cui——”
"Cui Jie'er, your mother is looking for you——"
The entire Xinghua Village was filled with shouts from sunset to dark.
Xie Cuicui, who had cried herself to sleep on the top of a hill, suddenly woke up to the sound of shouting that came and went. She looked up at the sky and her face turned pale. "Why is it already this late? Mom must be worried sick if she can't find me!"
After she finished speaking, she propped herself up and climbed up, and was about to run down the mountain with her short legs. At the bend in the mountain path, she happened to meet Su Cheng who had come all the way up the mountain.
Seeing that Su Cheng couldn't even stand steadily, Xie Cuicui's eyes turned red and she ran over to hug her, "Mom! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Cheng pinched his chin.
"Your face..." Su Cheng stared at the red marks on her face, his brows furrowed, his voice filled with anger, "Who is it?"
