Su Hua looked up and saw a young man with fair skin and red lips standing in the courtyard.
She wore a long, dark green gauze robe with snow-white trim, which made her look even more gentle and refined. She carried many things in both hands at her sides, and Su Sui, who was wearing light makeup, followed behind her.
"It's not late, it's not late. We're all family. It's enough that you're here. Why be so polite?" Madam Su said, but she quickly gestured for Su Dahu to take the gifts and put them in the main house.
A package of pastries, two bolts of cloth, and a bundle of meat.
Just by smelling it, she knew that this pastry was the one Hua'er used to talk about often: apricot blossom pastry. As for the two bolts of fine cotton cloth, the dark gray one aside for now, the other one, pale yellow, was just right for making a new dress for Hua'er.
And this meat, apart from 30% fat, the rest is all lean meat that Hua'er likes.
Although the Wang family is usually very stingy, Wang Chunfu is quite adept at handling social situations.
Each item was delivered to her heart's content.
In the courtyard, Aunt Zhou and the others looked at Wang Chunfu and his wife with envy in their eyes.
"Big sister, I really don't know how you raised your daughters. Your eldest daughter is beautiful and married well, and your youngest daughter, although not married yet, is more outstanding than any man!"
"That's right. There are so many girls in our Shanghe Village, but over the years, only Sui'er has married into the county town."
"Not only is her husband handsome, but his family also owns a shop that makes money every day. If my daughter were that lucky, I'd be laughing in my sleep..."
Upon hearing these words, Su Bai's smile visibly deepened.
However, when he caught a glimpse of Su Sui walking out from behind Wang Chunfu, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
I saw Su Sui on the second day of the Lunar New Year. At that time, she wasn't exactly fat, but her face was still a bit chubby. Now, in just three months, she has lost a lot of weight.
The Su family's children all came from a poor background, and the notion of valuing thinness as beauty simply didn't apply to them.
Only Hua'er wanted to lose some weight; the three Su brothers and Su Sui had no such intention.
She glanced at Wang Chunfu without leaving a trace, then pulled Su Sui into the kitchen, saying she wanted to help with some chores.
The door had just closed when her slanted eyes narrowed, and her voice lowered several decibels, "What's wrong with you? In just three months, you look like you've been skinned alive. Tell me honestly, were you mistreated at Old Wang's house? Did Old Wang not feed you enough?"
"How could that be? They treat me very well." Su Sui shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Zhao and Qian, who were busy in the kitchen, paused when they saw this.
Su Hua's brow twitched slightly; her mother's gaze was quite sharp.
The focus is so off-target!
Looking at the slight smile on Su Sui's lips, Su Baishi wanted nothing more than to point at her forehead and scold her, "I've been a fierce old woman my whole life, how come I gave birth to such a spineless softie like you! You've always been this quiet and taciturn since you were little, who else would people pinch if not you?"
You're a softie yourself, but don't forget you have three grown men in your family.
The Wang family only has two old men and one son. You could send either the older brother or the younger brother and they could easily beat them.
My Su family has never been bullied. No matter if it's from the county or somewhere else, we'll roll up our sleeves and beat them up!
Human nature is inherently biased, and people are naturally prone to favoritism.
Unlike Hua'er, who was her youngest daughter and had been mentally challenged since childhood, she naturally doted on Sui'er less than Hua'er. However, Sui'er was well-behaved and sensible from a young age, and compared to the three boys in the Su family, she loved Sui'er far more.
After all, life has always been difficult for women in this world.
However, being too sensible in a girl's life isn't always a good thing.
She knows perfectly well whether her daughter, whom she gave birth to, is about to fart or poop.
The smile on her face was worse than no smile at all; it looked so fake and unnatural.
Su Hua nodded upon hearing this, and immediately rolled up her sleeves to show off her almost non-existent muscles. "Mother is right. Even if my brothers can't win, I, as their younger sister, can take care of the Wang family with just one punch each. All I need to do is say the word, elder sister."
Zhao stepped forward and said gently, "Sui'er, although your sister-in-law isn't very good at fighting, she can still hit people with a broom."
"Yes, that's right!" Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions one by one, Madam Qian also patted her chest indignantly. "Although your second sister-in-law can't hit people, she has a sharp tongue. If the Wang family dares to bully you, your second sister-in-law will sit at their door and curse them for three days and three nights, making them ashamed to even go out for a stroll!"
The voices, some fierce and some gentle, brought a lump to Su Sui's throat.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice, "Yes, it's because my belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy all these years..."
Upon hearing this, Su Baishi suddenly realized that Da Hu and Hua'er had mentioned to her when they returned from delivering wild boar meat to the Wang family that the Wang family had asked her to go to the temple to pray for a child because Su Sui had not been able to give birth.
"Hua'er, can you take a look at your older sister?"
The woman turned to Su Hua, and her previously anxious heart relaxed considerably.
The so-called childlessness shouldn't be a big problem for Hua'er, after all, Hua'er was the one who could pull Qin Yucheng back from the brink of death.
"Hua'er knows medicine?" Su Sui was somewhat surprised.
“Yes.” Su Bai nodded and recited the same set of words she had used when she asked her master.
"Sister, put your right wrist down." Su Hua sighed inwardly. She had expected this long ago. The Wang family's concealment and Su Sui's excuses were not things that would be revealed in just a few words.
However, if we take the opportunity to examine Wang Chunfu's pulse, things should become much clearer.
