Chapter 131 Dissatisfaction: Sharpening the Knife Does Not Delay the Chopping of Wood
"If the child doesn't live up to his expectations, there's nothing we can do as parents," said Ning Yanjing.
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "Parents really can't take care of so many things."
The person who was going to marry Wei Yaozu was called Deng Meixian. Her parents gave her this name because they had high expectations for their daughter. But their daughter was not up to the task, and there was nothing they could do.
When Su Xueqing heard Mrs. Su San mention the girl's name, she knew that parents should love their children very much.
"Fortunately, it's not our child." Su Xueqing said, "I don't dare to think about what I would do if Xiao Junjun became like that. I would think it would be better not to have this daughter."
"Don't worry, Xiao Junjun won't become like this." Ning Yanjing hugged Su Xueqing tightly, "Xiao Junjun knows what she should do."
"I know." Su Xueqing said, "I have to take Xiao Junjun to my parents' house tomorrow."
Su Xueqing was talking about the Ning family, not the Su family.
The next morning, Su Xueqing and her husband took Xiao Junjun to Ning's house. Ning's father and mother were already waiting for Xiao Wenjun. They hadn't seen Xiao Wenjun for several months, and they just called to keep in touch.
In the past, when Xiao Wenjun was studying in Nancheng, she often went to the Ning family. Ning's father and mother would pick up Xiao Wenjun from school. After Xiao Wenjun went abroad to study, they saw Xiao Wenjun less often, so they naturally missed Xiao Wenjun very much.
Ning Yuhao was also at home, and he was very happy to see Xiao Wenjun.
Su Xueqing asked Xiao Wenjun to go play, and she and Ning Yanjing went to walk in the yard. Su Xueqing did not stay in the living room all the time, and Ning's father and mother also wanted to chat with Xiao Wenjun more.
"The New Year is coming soon." Su Xueqing said, "Time flies so fast."
"Before the New Year, you were thinking about Xiao Junjun coming back and seeing her." Ning Yanjing said, "Now you feel that time is passing too fast?"
"Yes, soon. After the New Year, Xiao Junjun will go abroad again to study." Su Xueqing said.
"If you want, we can also go abroad to see Xiao Junjun." Ning Yanjing said.
"It's okay to look at it once or twice occasionally. If you look at it too often, Xiao Junjun will think we are too strict." Su Xueqing said.
Xiao Wenjun has grown up, and Su Xueqing doesn't think about interfering in her too much. Too much control will only make the child unhappy.
Amelia Su discussed with the Deng family and just waited for the first month of the year to hold a wedding banquet for the two families, which would be considered the marriage of the two children. It would be a lie to say how satisfied Amelia Su was with her future daughter-in-law. Amelia Su thought that Wei Yaozu should study hard and strive to get into a junior college, but this incident happened and Wei Yaozu could no longer stay in school.
After the school teacher knew about Wei Yaozu and Deng Meixian's affair, the teacher talked to Amelia Su and told her that Wei Yaozu could not continue to study in the school. Not only Wei Yaozu could not continue to study in the school, but Deng Meixian could not continue to study either. The school was afraid of the bad influence, afraid that other students would follow Wei Yaozu and Deng Meixian to study, afraid that other students would not study well and know about the affair between men and women.
If Wei Yaozu and Deng Meixian had both gone to college, Deng Meixian would have gotten pregnant, but Deng Meixian and Wei Yaozu had not yet gone to college. This was not a good thing, and would only have a bad influence on other students. Parents of other students would also be unhappy, and they would think that the school had not done a good job.
As a result, Wei Yaozu was expelled from school.
Amelia Su also had a problem with Deng Meixian. If Deng Meixian was not pregnant with Wei Yaozu's child and Deng Meixian's parents came to find her, Amelia Su would definitely not let Deng Meixian marry Wei Yaozu.
Wei Yaozu and Deng Meixian were not of age yet, so they had no way to get a marriage certificate. They just held a wedding banquet at both homes, which was equivalent to getting married.
In front of Wei Yaozu, Amelia Su still had to say something bad about Deng Meixian.
"Who would fall in love in high school if it weren't for her?" Amelia Su said, "If it weren't for her, you could still repeat your studies. Now the school has asked you to drop out, and you can't continue studying. If you change to another school, the school will not let you continue studying if they know your situation."
"If I don't want to study, then I don't have to." Wei Yaozu said, "I didn't want to study in the first place. I already said I won't repeat the grade, I won't repeat the grade, but you guys insisted on making me repeat the grade."
“So much money wasted in vain…” Amelia Su sighed, “That money…”
Amelia Su wanted the school to return the money, and Wei Yaozu had traveled abroad and did not go to school. Not long after Wei Yaozu returned to China to study, he encountered Deng Meixian's pregnancy.
"Mom, you already have a grandson, aren't you happy?" Wei Yaozu said.
"Grandson? How do you know it's a grandson when she hasn't even been born yet?" Amelia Su said, "It might be a granddaughter. I told you, if she gives birth to a girl, she has to give birth. You are the only child in our family, how can we not have a grandson?"
"You have to give birth, you have to give birth." Wei Yaozu said. Anyway, he was not responsible for the pregnancy and childbirth, so he just said this.
"I've prepared your wedding room for you. Just live at home, don't live in another house." Amelia Su said, "If you live at home, Mom can help you take care of the children. If you live outside, you are still so young, who will take care of your children? It's good enough for your wife to take care of herself, don't expect her to take care of the children."
"I didn't intend to marry her at first." Wei Yaozu originally just wanted to have some fun, to date, and to break up later. But who knew that Deng Meixian was pregnant, and Wei Yaozu couldn't say he didn't want the child, and she even brought her parents to his house, so Wei Yaozu had to take responsibility.
"Let's hold the banquet first and get over this hurdle first." Amelia Su said, "The woman's family wants to hold a banquet, and we can't not hold it, so we can only hold it first."
Amelia Su originally thought that she would not hold a wedding banquet for Wei Yaozu and Deng Meixian first, but wait until Deng Meixian gave birth to a child to see whether the child was a boy or a girl before holding a wedding banquet. Unfortunately, Deng Meixian's parents disagreed. Deng Meixian herself did not have much objection. Deng's father and mother insisted that Amelia Su hold a wedding banquet for the two children first.
Getting pregnant before marriage is a very shameful thing in itself. If the man doesn't want to hold a wedding banquet, the woman will be laughed at. For the sake of their daughter, Deng's father and mother would never compromise.
Deng Meixian was young, she didn't understand those things, she just wanted to be with Wei Yaozu. Parents must understand these things, they have to make arrangements for their daughter and not let her suffer.
If possible, Deng's parents would prefer their daughter to have an abortion instead of giving birth to the child. Their daughter is still young and doesn't understand how fickle men are. After a few years, men can easily change their minds. But their daughter insisted on giving birth to the child, so they had no choice but to let her get married first.
In this way, the daughter can save some face in front of relatives and neighbors.
“You really have a lot of requirements.” Amelia Su said, “You don’t love yourself, and you still have the nerve to blame you and our family.”
Wei Yaozu didn't say that Amelia Su was wrong, he just didn't want to get married yet, but things had come to this point, so he could only wait. Wei Yaozu and Deng Meixian were in love, and getting married was another matter.
Amelia Su dotes on Wei Yaozu, but that doesn't mean she will dote on Deng Meixian. It's impossible for someone like her to hold her daughter-in-law in high esteem. Amelia Su also feels that she must have the dignity of a mother-in-law, and she can't let her daughter-in-law ride on her head. She has to do more to let her daughter-in-law know how powerful she is as a mother-in-law.
When Xu Ruyun came to see her mother, her mother told her about Wei Yaozu.
"You're getting married at such a young age." Xu Ruyun said.
"In our past, many people got married very early, but nowadays people get married late," said Xu's mother.
"Isn't he still repeating a grade?" Xu Ruyun asked.
"He was expelled from school," said Xu's mother. "The school won't let him continue to study. How could the school let him continue to study after such a big incident? If he continues to study, other parents will not agree."
"That's true. With such a bad example, I'm afraid other students will be like this." Xu Ruyun said, "That girl actually wants to marry Wei Yaozu. I don't think Wei Yaozu is a worry-free person. He is unreliable."
There are still many years before we can get our marriage certificate, and a lot of things can happen in the meantime.
Xu Ruyun thought this had little to do with her family, so she didn't worry about it.
After the demolition, Xu's mother still lived with Xu's elder brother and his wife. Xu's elder brother's son moved out when he got married. Xu's elder brother and his wife wanted to live with their son, but then they wanted to demolish the house in the name of Xu's father and mother. If they didn't live with their parents, what would happen if their parents gave the house to Xu's second brother? They still had to live with their parents so that they could get the house when the time came.
Xu Ruyun would usually send some gifts to Xu's father and mother, and Xu's wife wanted to take advantage of them.
"Has Mingde come back for the New Year?" Xu's mother asked, "Su Xueqing's daughter has come back for the New Year."
"No." Xu Ruyun said, "Mingde has accomplished nothing now. My mother-in-law can't bring Mingde back at this time. She's afraid that Mingde will come back and won't go out. She's also afraid that Mingde won't perform well and will disappoint Yan Yichen."
Yan's mother is holding back her energy now, and she wants Yan Mingde to become more powerful. When Yan Mingde becomes more powerful, Yan's mother will bring Yan Mingde back. When that time comes, Yan Yichen and others will be surprised and think that Yan Mingde is very good. Yan's mother is teaching Yan Mingde now, and Xu Ruyun doesn't care how Yan's mother teaches Yan Mingde.
"I have agreed with Yichen that Mingkang will study in Nancheng in the future." Xu Ruyun said, "If he doesn't go to Nancheng, he can go to China. Mingkang has enough connections studying in China, and our company is not very big. If he really wants to go abroad, he only needs to know some foreign languages. It's not that the company doesn't have other employees, so Mingkang doesn't have to go there himself."
“Just think about it yourself.” Mother Xu said, “Next door… now it’s not next door, it’s a community. Amelia Su and her mother broke up, and now they don’t even send New Year gifts, and they don’t even say hello when they see each other on the road.”
“This is very Amelia Su.” Xu Ruyun said.
"They said that men and women are equal, and they have to share their parents' relocation compensation. They said that what she got was not her brother's relocation compensation, but her parents'. Her parents refused to give it to her. Her parents favored boys over girls..." Mother Xu heard what Amelia Su said outside, "Amelia Su is more or less conscienceless."
"It's more than just a lack of conscience." Xu Ruyun said, "She has her own demolition compensation, but she still cares about her mother's family. It's too much. When her parents were sick, how much medical expenses did she pay?"
Xu Ruyun, an outsider, knew that Su Yamei didn't pay much. The third brother of Su basically didn't ask his sisters for the medical expenses of his parents, and he paid for it all by himself. Su Xueqing took the initiative to give money, but Su Yanan didn't give it if no one asked her, but she would buy more things for Su's father and mother. Su Yanan's behavior is understandable. Many married girls in this era are like this. They inherit too little from their natal family, so they naturally pay less.
And Amelia Su got a lot and paid little, but she kept asking for things.
At this time, it really can't be solved by a word about gender equality. Amelia Su herself favors boys over girls, and she has the nerve to say that about others, and she is not afraid of being laughed at by others.
“Some people say that Amelia Su favors boys over girls, and she said her daughter is not close to her.” Amelia Su said, “If her daughter is close to her, she will be better to her daughter.”
"It's hindsight, that's not the case at all." Xu Ruyun said, "If Wei Shanshan didn't have her grandma and her aunt, would Wei Shanshan be living such a good life now?"
"That's right. When Shanshan brought her daughter here, Amelia Su rolled her eyes." Mother Xu said, "Amelia Su asked Shanshan to give birth to a son, and she said it in front of Shanshan's daughter, which made Shanshan even more angry and ignored her."
"Such a mother is suffocating." Xu Ruyun said, "Only Shanshan can tolerate it."
“Shanshan can’t stand it, so what can we do? She’s her biological mother, she can only come less often.” Mother Xu said, “Amelia Su always says that her daughter is good to her grandmother and aunt, she really is…”
"If she had done a little more, Wei Shanshan would never have treated her like this." Xu Ruyun said, "She asked for this."
On New Year's Eve, Ning Yanjing and his wife spent the night with little Wenjun at Ning's home. The children had grown up, and it was time for Ning Yurong to bring his girlfriend home.
Ning Yurong has a girlfriend who is also a political science major like him. Ning Yurong has no one to bring back for the New Year, so he has to wait for a while.
In the evening, Ning Yanjing and his wife did not go back so quickly. Several children were barbecuing in the yard. Ning Wenjun was still directing them, asking them to apply sauce and so on. Ning Wenjun and others did not ask the chef to come, they just barbecued by themselves.
"Brother Yuhao, you don't know how bad those hamburgers and salads abroad are. If you eat too much, you will become stupid." Ning Wenjun said, "I still like the food we have in China. Fortunately, my parents knew what would happen and prepared a cook for me. Otherwise, I would have to learn more about cooking. I know a little bit, but I'm not very good."
Su Xueqing's cooking skills are not very good, Ning Wenjun's cooking skills are not very good either, but Ning Yanjing's cooking skills are OK. There are three people in the family, and the two women's cooking skills are not very good. Ning Yanjing has no requirements for his wife and daughter. If the cooking skills are not good, let the chef do it, it doesn't have to be the two of them.
"You don't have to be good at cooking." Ning Yuhao said, "Times have changed. It's time for men to learn how to cook."
"Brother Yuhao, you are right!" Ning Wenjun nodded, "When I find a boyfriend in the future, I must find someone who can cook and do a lot of housework."
"Are you looking for a boyfriend or a nanny?" Ning Yuhao couldn't help but ask.
"Looking for a good wife." Ning Wenjun said as a matter of course, "I have to work hard outside, and there must be someone to take care of the family. Of course, if he is capable of working outside, it is not impossible. I won't say that he must stay at home. But if he is not very capable, then he should stay at home to take care of the children."
Earlier, Ning Wenjun heard some people asking her mother to stay home to take care of the children and not to go to work. When Ning Wenjun was in kindergarten and elementary school, some people asked why her mother didn't stay home to take care of her, saying that other children's mothers stayed home to take care of their children. Ning Wenjun wanted to say that the mothers of those children were stupid, and what was wrong with the mother going out to work? If the father had to work, the mother could also work.
Ning Wenjun was thinking that those people only know how to ask women to stay at home to take care of children, so men can't do that? If she is looking for a partner, she has to look at the ability of the partner. If it is suitable, they can be together. If not, forget it. The partner must have an ability to show off. Either fight side by side, or stay at home and take care of the children.
Ning Wenjun couldn't possibly want a man who wanted to seize her family property. She knew that many women were easily manipulated by men and easily eaten up. If Ning Wenjun didn't want to be eaten up by men, she had to be more careful.
"When a man and a woman fall in love and get married, it's a two-way choice." Ning Wenjun said, "Brother Yuhao, don't think my idea is unfair to men. He doesn't have to do what I ask, and he and I don't have to be together."
"That's right!" Ning Yuhao didn't think there was anything wrong with Ning Wenjun's idea. "Do as you wish. Find whoever you want. There are so many people in the world. You can find your other half according to your own preferences. This is not a random match. One person is enough."
"Of course." Ning Wenjun said.
Sister-in-law Ning looked at Ning Yuhao and Ning Wenjun, then looked at Amelia Su, "Look at them, Yuhao himself hasn't even started a relationship yet, but he can still talk coherently with Xiaojunjun."
"Of course they can talk." Su Xueqing said, "They have a good relationship and can talk about anything."
When Su Xueqing saw Ning Yuhao and Ning Wenjun like that, she thought of herself and Su Sange. Su Sange talked a little less than Ning Yuhao, but he was also very lively sometimes, but he talked less after he went to work. It's not Su Sange's fault, Su Sange went to work, and it's hard for workers. Su Sange sometimes has to work overtime, so naturally he doesn't want to talk when he gets home.
After Su Sange started working, he bought things for Su's father, Su's mother, and old lady Su, and also bought things for Su Xueqing. Su Sange sometimes secretly gave money to Su Xueqing so that Su Xueqing could buy things she liked, which was why Su Xueqing was willing to help her mother's family more.
When Su Xueqing and Su Sange were young, they had a little conflict. It was a normal conflict. It was impossible for children to play together without a little conflict. There were many times when Su Sange didn't say anything. For example, he rarely said anything about Amelia Su, but Su Sange got a lot. He saw that Su's mother helped Amelia Su a lot, so he didn't say much.
"Brother and sister." Sister Ning said, "How about you stay here tonight?"
"Let's go back." Su Xueqing said, "Go back and change clothes."
Su Xueqing and his wife rarely stay overnight at Ning's parents' house. Brother Ning and Ning Yanjing have already separated, and they all live in the same city, so it's very easy to get there by car. It's okay to take a nap or stay overnight here occasionally, but Su Xueqing and his wife can't stay overnight at Ning's parents' house often. They still have to be a little more tactful so that the relationship between brothers and sisters-in-law can be better.
"That's fine." Mrs. Ning said, "You don't have to worry too much about Xiao Junjun now. I think she's doing very well."
"She's okay." Su Xueqing chuckled, "She knows what to do. We don't need to worry too much about her."
"That's because you taught little Junjun well." Mrs. Ning said, "If you hadn't taught the child well, the child wouldn't be so good."
"To be honest, I don't think I taught her much." Su Xueqing said.
"That's because you set a good example yourself." Mrs. Ning said, "If you do well, Xiaojun will see that you do so well, and she will do better as well."
"She still has to rely on herself." Su Xueqing said, "Yuhao and Yurong are both very good. Didn't Yurong get into the procuratorate?"
"He got in, so we can breathe a sigh of relief." Mrs. Ning said, "Now it all depends on Yuhao. You invested so much money in making animation for him, but it hasn't even been completed yet."
"Don't be in a hurry." Su Xueqing said, "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. There is really no need to be in a hurry."
"You guys aren't worried, so how can I be worried?" Mrs. Ning said, "It all depends on him. His father and I don't understand those things, so we really can't help."
The Ning family sat together to eat barbecue. Ning Wenjun looked at Ning Yuhao and deliberately made a particularly spicy one for him. Ning Yuhao ate it without changing his expression, which made Ning Wenjun think that she had given it to him by mistake. Ning Wenjun ate a skewer and she cried, "Ah, it's so spicy! Water, water, water!"
Then, Ning Yuhao also asked for water.
Su Xueqing looked at this scene with a slight twitch in the corners of her mouth. One reason was that she could bear it, and the other was that she was curious. Now, she had to drink more water.
"Don't worry about them." Mrs. Ning said, "Let them drink water."
"Eating such greasy food and drinking too much water at once is not good for the stomach." Su Xueqing said, "Xiao Junjun is really..."
"It's not her fault. They were just playing around." Mrs. Ning said, "Yuhao will know after taking one bite. He ate a few more bites. Isn't it just to trick Junjun into eating some too? If he gets a stomachache, he deserves it!"
“…” Su Xueqing didn’t say much.
After eating the barbecue, everyone went their separate ways.
Ning Wenjun waved to her parents, she had to go back. Ning Wenjun jumped and skipped along beside her parents, it felt so good to have her parents around, she loved this feeling so much.
"Mom." Ning Wenjun walked forward and took Su Xueqing's hand. When they got in the car, Ning Wenjun leaned next to Su Xueqing.
Su Xueqing saw Ning Wenjun sticking to her so much. She thought that her daughter had been abroad for a long time, so it was normal for her to stick to her when she came back.
"Did anything bad happen outside?" Su Xueqing asked.
"No, everything is going well." Ning Wenjun said, "It's just that my mother is not around. I miss her very much."
"Okay, if you want." Su Xueqing patted her daughter's hand gently, "Tell mom if you have anything."
"You can also tell Dad." Ning Yanjing, who was sitting in the front, added.
"Everything is fine." Ning Wenjun blinked. "If there is anything bad, I will tell you and ask you to help me solve it. Everything is fine. I just miss my parents and home. Before, when I was in China, I didn't have those thoughts because I could see my parents every day. After going abroad, I can only call you and hear your voices. I really miss you."
"Then think about it." Su Xueqing said, "It's not shameful to miss your parents and home."
"So I thought about it." Ning Wenjun said, "But I have to study and have little time to think about these things. I want to graduate early and come back early."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said.
After returning home, Ning Wenjun went back to wash up and go to bed, while Su Xueqing and her husband also washed up and changed their clothes.
Su Xueqing was lying on the bed, she thought of her daughter's young and lively face, and her heart was warm. It was good that her daughter was obedient and sensible, so parents didn't have to worry too much. If she had a son, he would probably have all kinds of problems.
"After the New Year, Xiaojunjun will stay for a few days and then have to go abroad again." Su Xueqing said.
"She can come back during her summer vacation," Ning Yanjing said, "and we can contact her by phone at other times, so there's no need to worry too much."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing said, "I understand everything, but I'm still a little worried. Xiao Junjun has matured a lot."
"That's our daughter." Ning Yanjing said, "Our daughter can't be bad."
After the Chinese New Year, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Amelia Su and her husband took Xiao Wenjun to the Su family. Amelia Su and her husband did not take Wei Yaozu with them. They ignored the Su family and just ignored them.
Su Xueqing and others were walking in the community. When they saw Wei Yaozu, he ran away without calling them. With Wei Yaozu like that, Su Xueqing and others were even less likely to pay attention to him.
Su Yanan helped with cooking, while Su Xueqing and others sat nearby and watched TV.
After cooking and eating, Su Yanan and Su Xueqing took a walk in the community together, and played with the other children.
"My eldest sister really doesn't care about my parents now." Su Yanan said, "She didn't get what she wanted, and she thinks my parents are useless."
"She can do whatever she wants." Su Xueqing said, "Mom and Dad must be sad."
"Dad is fine." Su Yanan said, "Dad has long known what kind of person my eldest sister is. He usually doesn't interfere in those things. That's why Mom is sad."
Su's mother was the most in charge and helped Amelia Su the most, but Amelia Su treated her like this now. Su's mother was sad and upset. She thought she had treated Amelia Su well, so why did Amelia Su still treat her like this? Amelia Su was so tough about the demolition money. Unless Su's mother gave Amelia Su a share of the demolition money, Amelia Su would ignore Su's father and mother.
At this point, it is impossible for Su's mother to share the demolition money with Amelia Su. If Su's mother shares the demolition money with Amelia Su, Amelia Su will not be good to Su's mother. This rift has widened and is about to become a cliff, which cannot be crossed.
"As for Mom...she still has to figure it out herself." Su Xueqing said.
Su Xueqing didn't like to say much when Su's mother told Su Yamei about Su Yamei. Su Xueqing didn't know if Su's mother would think that she was too ruthless as a younger sister after she said Su Yamei's words, so it would be better to say less. It's not that Su Xueqing didn't want to persuade Su's mother, but after so many years, Su Xueqing has realized that she is not favored by her biological mother, so of course she will say less and make fewer mistakes.
If I talk too much, Su's mother will be unhappy, so she still has to talk about Su Xueqing. Even if Su's mother didn't talk about Su Xueqing, she would still feel uncomfortable.
"You're right. Let Mom figure it out herself. I don't like to say those things in front of Mom now." Su Yanan said, "If I say too much, Mom will be unhappy. If I say too little, I will be unhappy. Someone will always be unhappy. It's better to say less and not make a fuss."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "That's it, don't say more."
Su Yanan and Su Xueqing were walking in the community. They saw Amelia Su, and Amelia Su also saw them. Amelia Su rolled her eyes at Su Yanan and Su Xueqing, and then she left.
“…” When Amelia Su saw Su like that, she was speechless.
"See, she is like this now." Su Yanan said, "Brother-in-law will say a few words when he sees my parents, but if my elder sister is around, he dare not say a word. Brother-in-law always listens to my elder sister, and Yaozu feels that my parents treat him badly, so he ignores them."
"Aren't his parents nice to him?" Su Xueqing said.
Don't think that Su's father and mother are polite to Xiao Wenjun and others. When Xiao Wenjun and others come, Su's father and mother give them all kinds of delicious food. However, Xiao Wenjun and others come less often, while Wei Yaozu comes more often. When Wei Yaozu was a child, Su's mother took care of him. Su's father and mother treat Wei Yaozu very well.
"We all think it's good, but my eldest sister thinks it's not good, and Wei Yaozu doesn't think it's good either." Su Yanan said, "My parents helped my eldest sister take care of Yaozu for so many years, but it was all in vain. If my parents had known that Yaozu would be like this... I guess they would still take care of Wei Yaozu."
"They want to help my eldest sister." Su Xueqing said.
Wei Yaozu was still young at that time, and what could a child understand? Su's mother would naturally take Wei Yaozu with her. At that time, when Su's mother bought things for Su Xudong, she also bought some for Wei Yaozu.
This time, Amelia Su insisted on the demolition payment, which touched the bottom line of Su's father and mother. Su's father and mother had to follow Su Sange. Su Yanan and Su Xueqing did not want the demolition payment, so Amelia Su's house was demolished.
If Su's father and mother hadn't lent money and helped in various ways, Amelia Su and her husband wouldn't have had such a good life. Amelia Su wanted too many things and had too big an appetite, which her mother couldn't give her, and her father couldn't let her mother give her either.
Aunt Su's previous experience is there. She contributed so much to Yu Guochao's family, but in the end, they were blamed. Mother Su is the same now. She has paid so much for Amelia Su, but Amelia Su is not satisfied with her.
In the past, Amelia Su would at least give New Year gifts. During festivals, if the gifts were cheaper, she would still give them. But now, Amelia Su doesn't give those gifts, not a penny.
Su's mother and others no longer go to the breakfast shop opened by Su Yamei to buy breakfast. There is not only one shop selling breakfast, but also other shops. Su's mother can also make some food at home, so she doesn't have to buy this breakfast. There is a refrigerator at home, so Su's mother can also make some more buns and put them in the refrigerator, and take them out and heat them up when she wants to eat.
Su Yanan walked beside Amelia Su, she knew that Amelia Su had a lot of money in her hands.
"My elder sister didn't give Shanshan a penny." Su Yanan said.
"Shanshan won't make a fuss." Su Xueqing said.
"Shanshan really didn't make a fuss. She had already figured out that her mother would never give her the relocation compensation." Su Yanan said, "Her mother wanted to give the relocation compensation to her brother."
"Yes, that's right." Su Xueqing said, "Second sister, let's stop interfering and don't say anything in front of mom. Mom is feeling very upset."
At lunch today, Amelia Su saw that Su’s mother was in a daze. She thought that Su’s mother must have thought of Amelia Su.
After Amelia Su returned to the city, she went to her mother's house every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year and helped to cook. This time, Amelia Su did not come to her mother's house, and it would be impossible for her to come again in the middle of the night. Maybe she would have to wait until her mother died, and then Amelia Su would come to see her.
"Even if I don't tell you, Mom will still be sad." Su Yanan said, "Isn't Yaozu getting married? Big sister didn't give us an invitation, so I don't plan to give a red envelope."
"I don't plan to give a red envelope either." Su Xueqing said.
"Mom may also need to give a red envelope, probably a big one, and then give it to my eldest sister." Su Yanan said.
"Do you know? Did mom say that?" Su Xueqing said.
"I guessed." Su Yanan said, "Mom likes to smooth things over. She always wants us brothers and sisters to get along well. How could we get along well? If she wants to take advantage of someone like my eldest sister, we won't have that much for her to take advantage of."
Su Yanan knew Su's mother's temperament and methods very well. Maybe Su's mother thought that if she gave Wei Yaozu a bigger red envelope, Su Yamei would be happy.
It's impossible. Amelia Su can't be happy just because of a red envelope, because a red envelope can't compare to the demolition payment at all. The demolition payment is the big part.
"Don't go if your elder sister doesn't invite you." Su Xueqing said, "If mom wants to go, it's up to her."
Brother Su San and his wife did not say that they would give Wei Yaozu a red envelope, nor did they say that they would attend the wedding banquet. If they didn't give an invitation, why bother to go? Brother Su San and his wife had already seen through Amelia Su, and they were unwilling to hold Amelia Su in their arms.
Two days later, Ning Wenjun was going abroad again. Su Xueqing helped Ning Wenjun pack her things, and Ning Wenjun also packed his things.
"Mom, I'll call you when I get there." Ning Wenjun said.
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded, "You must contact your family no matter what happens."
"I know." Ning Wenjun said.
Ning Wenjun had also looked at the cake shop opened by Tian Caixia before. The location of the cake shop was good, and it would take time to make a profit. The location of the cake shop was chosen by Tian Caixia, and Su Xueqing happened to have a shop nearby, so she rented the shop to Tian Caixia to open a cake shop. In this way, there is no need to worry about the problem of rent increases.
The rent is based on market price, which is slightly lower, but not too low.
Tian Caixia didn't say anything polite to Su Xueqing, she knew her aunt was very considerate. Why would she rent someone else's shop when she already had her own relative's shop? Some landlords would raise the rent a lot when they saw that other people's business was doing well.
Su Xueqing and her husband have a lot of real estate and shops in South City. They bought the shops when the physical industry was still relatively developed, so even if they waited until e-commerce developed later, they would not lose money and would still make money.
Ning Wenjun naturally knew that the shop belonged to Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing gave some real estate to Ning Wenjun, but not all of it. Su Xueqing and his wife both kept their own property for the convenience of their retirement. It was always right to make more preparations.
Amelia Su gave part of the family's demolition compensation to Wei Yaozu. Wei Yaozu did not continue to repeat his studies and became a father again. Amelia Su thought that Wei Yaozu needed some money. She wanted to give him less, but Wei Yaozu said no, she had to give him more because he had to use the money to do business.
Wei Yaozu said that he was married and couldn't always ask his parents for money, which was not good. He didn't mean not to ask for money, but to let his parents take the initiative to give him money and let his parents give him more money. Amelia Su didn't dare not give Wei Yaozu money, for fear that Wei Yaozu would be unhappy.
Soon it was the day of Wei Yaozu's wedding, but Su's mother did not attend Wei Yaozu's wedding banquet, nor did she give out the red envelope. To be precise, Su's mother gave out the red envelope, but she placed it on the table in front of her, and she did not give it out.
One night, tossing and turning, Su's mother felt that she should not go to Amelia Su. No matter how much money was in the red envelope, it was indeed not as much as the demolition compensation.
If Su's mother went to Su Yamei, it would be inappropriate, and let others think of Su Sange and others. As an elder, Su's mother could not go to Wei Yaozu's wedding banquet. Without an invitation, Su Yamei did not ask them to go, so they could not go, absolutely not.
When Mrs. Su San saw Su's mother staring at the red envelope on the table, she didn't say anything but went back to her room.
"Your mother sat on the sofa for a while, and then she put the red envelope on the coffee table." Mrs. Su said, "I went out two or three times, and she was still sitting there."
"Let her sit." said Brother Su San.
"Wei Yaozu is getting married today." Third Sister Su said, "Eldest sister really didn't invite us over, nor did she invite our parents over. Dad went out to play chess with someone, so he specifically told us before he left."
In the past, when Su's father went out to play, he didn't specifically tell him where he was going or what he was going to play. Today, Su's father specifically told him before he went out, just to tell Su's mother, not to tell Su's third brother and his wife.
Father Su was afraid that Mother Su would run over there alone, so he was playing chess with someone downstairs in the community and didn't go far. If Mother Su ran to Su Yamei's house, Father Su could also go and pull her back. Father Su didn't go to see the wedding procession, and when others asked Father Su, he said: No, they didn't notify us.
Su's father refused to stay at home. He went downstairs to play with others. When others asked him, he answered directly, not afraid of being embarrassed at all. If Su's mother knew what Su's father said downstairs, she would probably take Su's father home.
To say that Amelia Su didn’t provoke Father Su would be a lie.
Father Su was angry about what happened to Amelia Su this time. Amelia Su didn't treat them as her biological parents at all, so why should they be so good to Amelia Su. Amelia Su's son got married, and Father Su thought that there was no need to hide from Amelia Su's family. So what if they lived in the same community? Father Su could still go downstairs to play.
"Isn't she your biological daughter?" someone asked Su's father.
"She is my biological daughter. If she wasn't, how could we have gotten so much money?" Father Su said. "If she wasn't my biological daughter, we would have ignored her when she returned to the city!"
