Chapter 132: Pretending to be deaf and dumb and living too far away
Amelia Su and the others all didn't expect that Father Su would say such words to others. They all thought that Father Su was a relatively taciturn person, and that Father Su should be hiding in a corner watching Wei Yaozu get married.
This shows that these people don't know Father Su well enough. Generally speaking, Father Su is indeed taciturn. But is this usually the case?
Amelia Su's actions chilled her father's heart. Her family had helped her so much, but she still disliked them for not helping her too much. Amelia Su had no heart for her family and had never treated them sincerely. She only considered herself.
"If she wasn't our biological child, it would be easy to deal with. We could just cancel the adoption relationship." Father Su said, "But there's nothing we can do. She's our biological child, a blood-related one."
“I heard that Amelia Su suspected that she was not your biological child.” Father Xu said.
Mr. Xu sometimes listened to Mrs. Xu's gossip, and he heard it.
Amelia Su didn't get the demolition money from the Su family, so she was talking nonsense over there, saying whatever she wanted. Even if Amelia Su wasn't her biological daughter, in that era, many people didn't raise their daughters, and they just threw their daughters on the side of the road, and some people threw their daughters directly into the river. If Amelia Su wasn't her biological daughter, it means that the Su family treated Amelia Su even better.
It just so happened that Amelia Su was born to Su's father and mother, so Su's mother favored Amelia Su even more.
“It’s easy to verify whether the child is biological or not. Isn’t there a paternity test now?” Someone said, “It just costs more money.”
"Why spend this money?" Someone else said, "It's obvious that they are not biological children. They have taken so many benefits, how can they not be biological children?"
Many people in the community were neighbors with the Su family before. They knew the situation of the Su family and knew how speechless Amelia Su was. Amelia Su wanted too many things. If it were other families, they would have asked their daughter to get out long ago.
Earlier, some neighbors said that Amelia Su and the Su family would have a falling out sooner or later. Amelia Su, a married girl, wanted so many things, and sooner or later, Su San's wife and her husband would be dissatisfied. Either Amelia Su and the Su family would have a falling out, or Su's mother would have a falling out with Su San's brother.
Now it's just Amelia Su and the Su family that are at odds, and Su's mother hasn't had a falling out with Su Sange and his wife, which is still good. If Su's mother still can't figure it out and still stands on Amelia Su's side, then Su's mother can't expect her children to take care of her in her old age in the future. No, no matter what happens, Amelia Su will still take care of Su's mother in her old age, but she may not visit her mother more often.
Others think that Su's mother has a big safety net. With a rich daughter like Su Xueqing, Su's mother doesn't have to worry about too many things.
"Sometimes, children who are not your biological children are better than your biological children." Someone else said, "If your biological children make things look too ugly, you might think later that they are your biological children after all, and you still need to help them."
Amelia Su did this because she was born to Su's father and mother, and because Su's mother favored her.
Those people felt that the Su family was too good to Amelia Su's family. Amelia Su and her husband did work hard to open a breakfast shop, but the Su family also helped Amelia Su and her husband. But in the end, people didn't think that the Su family helped them at all. They just felt that they relied on their own efforts to get to where they are today.
After a while, Su's father returned home and did not stay outside. He saw Su's mother still in the living room and saw the thick red envelope on the living room.
Father Su walked over and shook the red envelope, which felt a bit heavy.
"Yamei told others that she was not our biological daughter." Father Su said, "Because she is not our biological daughter, we treated her so badly."
"What?" Su's mother opened her eyes wide and looked at Su's father.
Amelia Su is the first child born to Su's mother. Although she is a daughter, she is the first after all. Therefore, Su's mother treated Amelia Su well when she was born. Su Yanan is the second daughter, and the second daughter did not receive such good treatment.
Among these children, Amelia Su is the first and is favored by Su's mother. Su Yanan is the second, and he is not a son, so he is inevitably ignored. Brother Su San is a son, so he is naturally valued by Su's mother, Su's father and Deng. As for Su Xueqing, she is the youngest, fifteen years younger than Amelia Su. Mrs. Su and Mr. Su both love Su Xueqing, so Su's mother naturally has to love Su Xueqing as well.
Now that Old Madam Su and Old Master Su are gone, Mother Su’s partiality towards Amelia Su has become even more obvious.
"She said she is not our biological daughter." said Father Su.
"How is that possible?" Su's mother didn't believe it.
"Everyone outside has said that it was your eldest daughter who said it herself." Father Su said, "If she hadn't told others those words, would others have said that?"
"I……"
"Don't treat her as our daughter. She doesn't treat her as our daughter at all." said Su's father.
Father Su was angry. He usually didn’t say these words, which showed how angry Amelia Su made Father Su.
Su Yanan and Su Xueqing live far from this community, so they come here less often. Su Xueqing asks the driver to deliver things, and she may not come here herself. Su's mother can't always go to Su Yanan or Su Xueqing like before, and Su Xueqing can also listen less to Su's mother talking about Su Yamei.
Su Yanan and Su Xueqing didn't like to hear Su's mother talk about Su Yamei. She kept saying that Su Yamei went to the countryside as an educated youth and that Su Yamei's personality changed when she was in the countryside. Whoever wanted to listen could listen.
When Su Yanan learned that the resettlement house was located far away, she was even relieved that she would have to face her biased mother less. Su Yanan believed that Su Xueqing had the same mentality as her. They didn't want to listen to Su's mother complaining about Su Yamei, and then Su's mother had to help Su Yamei explain.
Su's mother said those words in front of Su Yanan and Amelia Su, just to make the two sisters forgive Amelia Su, let them sympathize with Amelia Su, not to bother with Amelia Su, and they were still happy to be sisters with Amelia Su.
How is this possible?
Amelia Su has a temper, and so do others.
Things have come to this point, all because of Su's mother's indulgence of Amelia Su, and the relationship between Su's mother and her children has become a little distant. Fortunately, Su's mother is in a better situation than Aunt Su, and she has not been deserted by everyone because of Amelia Su. Amelia Su is a woman, if Amelia Su is a man, there is no guarantee what Su's mother will do.
"This red envelope..." Father Su knocked on Su Xudong's door.
Su Xudong hasn't started school yet. School will start in a few days. He is in his room.
When Su Xudong opened the door, his grandfather stuffed a red envelope into his hand.
"Take it." Father Su said, "When you go to college, you need to spend a lot of money. If you are in a relationship, you will spend even more money."
"Grandpa..." Su Xudong looked at the red envelope in his hand. He knew that this red envelope was given by his grandmother for Wei Yaozu. Could he take it himself?
"Take it." Father Su said, "If I tell you to take it, then take it. Your eldest aunt said that she is not your grandmother and I's biological daughter, so why should we honor her family? Can her family honor our Su family?"
"Then I'll take it?" Su Xudong looked at Old Mrs. Su again.
"Take it." said Su's mother.
What else could Su's mother say? Su's father had already stuffed the red envelope into Su Xudong's hands.
Su's mother walked to the balcony and looked down from upstairs. She found that Wei Yaozu lived in another building, not in the building opposite. Su's mother wanted to take a look at Wei Yaozu, but he didn't look good.
Father Su ignored Mother Su's behavior. There was a protective net on the balcony, so Mother Su couldn't jump down from the building. This was the home of Brother Su San and his wife. If Mother Su did that, it would be like smearing Brother Su San's face, making others think that Brother Su San and his wife had let Mother Su down, and this house would become a haunted house.
At this moment, Su Yanan was at Su Xueqing's house, and she asked Tian Guohua to look after the store.
"I wonder if Mom went to watch Wei Yaozu get married." Su Yanan said.
"It doesn't matter whether mom ran over or not. We didn't go over." Su Xueqing said.
"I came here not to see if you've been there." Su Yanan said, "We have a phone in our store. I was wondering what I should say if my mom calls me."
"Just say whatever you want." Su Xueqing said, "Don't worry about that."
"That being said, aren't you afraid that Mom will feel even worse?" Su Yanan picked up a banana and said, "I didn't ask anyone to send a red envelope. Why would I send a red envelope? Is it embarrassing?"
Amelia Su invited some other relatives of the Su family, and even invited people like Yu Jiachao, but she didn't invite Su's father and mother. Amelia Su felt that she had to take back the red envelopes she had given out, and still let those relatives come to the wedding banquet.
Su Yanan had heard from relatives a long time ago that Amelia Su had given them invitations. Those relatives also asked Su Yanan, and Su Yanan directly said that she had not received an invitation. Those relatives also said that Amelia Su might send them the invitations later.
Until the beginning of Wei Yaozu's wedding banquet, those relatives still thought that Amelia Su would definitely invite the Su family, but Su's father and mother and others did not come. Those relatives knew that Amelia Su did not let Su's father and mother and others come, and they felt bad. They all knew that Su's father and mother were good to Amelia Su, but Amelia Su did such a disgusting thing.
Some relatives left before the banquet was over. They didn't need to miss the meal, but they just couldn't eat anymore and felt disgusted.
Although it was Su's father and mother's family affair, when their relatives saw it, they just couldn't stand it.
Amelia Su didn't expect those relatives to leave early. She specially booked a hotel to hold a banquet, and she couldn't let her son's wedding banquet be too shabby. As a result, those people left before the newlyweds went to toast. Amelia Su's face was quite ugly. Those people didn't give her face.
The younger people didn’t feel much, but when they saw their elders leaving the table, some of them followed.
"Why did they all leave?" Wei Dashan asked foolishly.
Do you still need to ask this?
Anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see the problem and this is why.
After Wei Dashan asked, he regretted it.
Wei Shanshan did come to attend the wedding banquet. Those people in the Su family could not give Su Yamei this face. Wei Shanshan was embarrassed not to come after receiving the invitation. Su Yamei did give Wei Shanshan living expenses and tuition fees so that Wei Shanshan could trouble others less.
When Wei Shanshan saw those people leaving, she did not persuade them to stay. If possible, Wei Shanshan herself wanted to leave early.
The people from the Deng family felt uncomfortable when they saw that most of Amelia Su's relatives had left, but there was nothing they could do. When the Deng family saw this situation, they knew how difficult Amelia Su was.
It is still uncertain what kind of life Deng Meixian and Wei Yaozu will live like in the future.
Amelia Su is not Xu Ruyun. At Xu Ruyun's child's full-month banquet, others sat down to eat a little and left, or even left without eating, but Xu Ruyun was not very angry. But Amelia Su was very angry. After the banquet was over, Amelia Su even went to knock on the Su family's door.
When Su’s mother opened the door, she was faced with Amelia Su’s abuse.
"I still call you mom, but you are treating me like that? I didn't invite you to Yao Zu's wedding banquet, isn't it because you are too much?" Amelia Su said, "You actually let the relatives leave halfway, and they left before the newlyweds even toasted, making us lose face in front of the bride's relatives."
"I……"
“Do you think that if you do this, I will bow to you? Dream on!” Amelia Su gritted her teeth, “In the future, don’t expect me to support you in your old age, and don’t think about the money in my hands.”
"You are all bad people, you can't stand seeing me doing well."
"You are biased and favor boys over girls, and you still have the nerve to accuse me of favoring boys over girls."
"In your eyes, the money is the most important thing."
"I don't have parents like you!"
…
Amelia Su turned and left, she didn’t give Mother Su a chance to say anything else.
Mother Su stood there stupidly, she didn't expect Amelia Su to say those words. Mother Su almost couldn't breathe, she originally thought Amelia Su regretted it, she never thought that she didn't regret it at all, she came to scold them.
Su Sansao heard Amelia Su's voice, she did not go to the door, and did not protect Su's mother. Isn't Su's mother so distressed about Amelia Su, then let Su's mother face it, and Su Sansao will not face Amelia Su.
After Amelia Su left, Third Sister Su walked to Mother Su's side. She was afraid that Mother Su would be angry and fall directly to the ground. People of Mother Su's age could not withstand a fall.
Su's mother was helped by Su San's wife to sit on the sofa. Su San's wife did not say anything wrong about Su's mother, but just let her sit there. Su's mother did not speak, she was upset.
A little later in the evening, Brother Su San returned home. After Brother Su San learned what had happened, he wanted to go find Amelia Su, but was stopped by Sister Su San.
"It's no use for you to go there." Mrs. Su said, "Today is the wedding day of Yaozu, so don't go. If you go, people will say you had to pick today."
“Amelia Su really knows how to pick the time.” Third Brother Su was displeased.
"After what happened this time, Mom should no longer have any hope for my eldest sister." Third Sister Su said, "This is also a good thing. It's better to give up early than to still have hope in your heart. That would make life difficult, neither up nor down."
"Yes." Brother Su San nodded. What his wife said made sense.
"If it doesn't work, just comfort your mother more." Mrs. Su said, "Don't ask my younger sister to come over for everything."
Mrs. Su always wanted Su Xueqing to comfort Su's mother, but that was not the right thing to do. If Su Xueqing knew about those bad things, she would also feel uncomfortable. Why should she make her feel uncomfortable too?
"If that doesn't work, ask your second sister to come and comfort your mother." Third Sister Su said, "It's better not to look for your second sister."
This matter itself was not handled properly by Su's mother at the beginning. Su's mother was too good to Amelia Su, which led to the current situation.
"Well, you are right, it's better not to look for them." Brother Su San said.
"That's how it is." Mrs. Su said, "Let them come, let them see how much mom values the eldest sister?"
Su Sansao thought that Su's mother was scolded by Amelia Su, that was good, so that Su's mother would not be confused about who was good to her in the future. Amelia Su was not that good to Su's mother at all, Amelia Su only thought about her Yaozu.
Although Third Sister Su did not tell Su Yanan and Amelia Su that Su's mother was scolded by Amelia Su, the news still reached the ears of Amelia Su and Su Yanan.
Amelia Su pretended that she knew nothing, and she did not go to comfort her mother. For this kind of thing, it is useless for others to comfort her, and Su's mother still has to figure it out herself. Only when Su's mother figured it out, she would not be led and forced by Amelia Su.
Su Xueqing told Ning Yanjing about this matter and she would not go to the Su family.
"My second sister also said that she would feel more at ease if our parents lived farther away." Su Xueqing said, "It's okay for me. I married you and married into a wealthy family. Mom is worried that she would come too often and make my in-laws unhappy. As for my second sister, Mom doesn't have so many concerns. Mom talked to her a lot. Mom told her that she couldn't help her solve those problems, and she was annoyed by me."
“Then it won’t go.” Ning Yanjing said, he could also see that Mother Su loved Amelia Su.
Although Su's mother was polite to Ning Yanjing and others, and her attitude towards Wei Dashan was not so good, Su's mother really doted on Amelia Su.
"Those things can't be blamed on my second sister." Su Xueqing said, "My second sister, my third brother, none of us went to the countryside. Mom thinks we don't understand the hardships of the countryside, so she has to nag us a few more times. There are brothers and sisters in this life, but not in the next life. Mom often says this sentence just to make us more considerate of my eldest sister."
Su Yanan and Su Xueqing have their own ideas, and it is impossible for them to pamper Amelia Su. Amelia Su is the eldest sister. Generally speaking, the eldest sister takes care of the younger brothers and sisters, rather than the younger brothers and sisters holding the eldest sister.
Anyway, Amelia Su and Su Yanan didn’t think about praising Amelia Su. No matter what Su’s mother wanted to do, Su’s mother couldn’t let Amelia Su and Su Yanan be like her. The two sisters couldn’t do it.
"It's useless for us to go over there when something like this happens." Su Xueqing said, "If we don't go over there, Mom will realize the seriousness of the problem. We won't cry or ask for candy, but we all have tempers."
Su Xueqing thought she was good enough to her mother. She visited her mother and gave her gifts.
"After grandma passed away, the relationship between my mom and I became much more distant," Su Xueqing said.
When Mrs. Su was alive, she valued Amelia Su more, and would also let Mother Su pay more attention. After Mrs. Su was gone, Mother Su was more partial to Amelia Su, and Amelia Su still didn’t admit what everyone knew.
“Before, I thought my relationship with my mother was the best.” Amelia Su really thought so, at least before Amelia Su returned to the city.
Amelia Su didn’t expect that everything would change after Amelia Su returned to the city.
When Amelia Su returned to the city, Amelia Su had just finished her freshman year. At that time, it had not been a year since Grandpa Su passed away. Amelia Su did not sleep in the same room with Grandma Su. One reason was that Grandma Su was old and smelled like an old woman. Another reason was that Amelia Su missed Grandpa Su very much. After Grandpa Su passed away, she often dreamed of Grandpa Su for a while.
It was impossible for Su Xueqing to tell the adults about those things. She did not sleep in the same room with Old Lady Su, but went to live in the school. Amelia Su did not think that Su Xueqing gave up the living room, but felt that Su Xueqing was too hypocritical. Su Xueqing could obviously sleep with Old Lady Su, but Su Xueqing did not.
Some things are obviously small things, and they didn't cause any big problems at the time, and they didn't have any special meaning. But when others interpret them, they interpret the problem from their own perspective, and they only think about the side that is good for them.
Su Xueqing knew it all in her heart, but she didn't point it out. Once something is pointed out, there is no going back, and the relationship between everyone will become more awkward.
At that time, Su Xueqing didn't dislike Old Lady Su, she still respected her very much. She didn't think that she respected Old Lady Su only by sleeping in the same room with her. Old Lady Su also understood this, and she never forced Su Xueqing. Old Lady Su knew that Su Xueqing had been spoiled since she was a child, and her granddaughter didn't grow up to be delicate and precious. She didn't do much housework, but she did other things and worked hard for the family.
This is why Su Xueqing missed Mrs. Su and Mr. Su so much. Grandpa and grandma were very considerate of Su Xueqing, and they never thought that Su Xueqing would be in trouble if she didn't do housework.
Su's mother would complain that Su Xueqing didn't learn housework. Although Su's mother still did housework and didn't let Su Xueqing do it, she might have such an idea in her heart. Su's mother felt that Su Xueqing did less work at home, Su Xueqing enjoyed more, and Su Yamei suffered. Su's mother once said that for Su Yamei, and even if Su's mother didn't say it again, Su Xueqing remembered it.
This is also the reason why Amelia Su didn't interfere in the affairs between Su's mother and Amelia Su. Since she didn't intend to ask for benefits, she shouldn't involve herself in it and make herself unhappy.
"Sometimes, we take many things for granted." Su Xueqing said, "We are too idealistic and forget that reality is changeable."
The parents have several children, not just Su Xueqing.
Su Xueqing didn't want to have a second child, not only because she worked in a related unit, but also because she didn't want Ning Wenjun to become like her. Su Xueqing didn't think about having a boy. She gave birth to a child, and she wanted to give the child the best. Let the child have a bright future, so that the child doesn't have to compare with brothers and sisters.
Even if Su Xueqing and her husband are rich, they can try to be good to their two children, but people's hearts are biased and it is impossible to treat them completely equally.
"I don't blame you." Ning Yanjing said, "My parents live far away, so we can go there once a month."
"That's right, I go there once a month." Su Xueqing said.
Su Xueqing pretended that she knew nothing. She did not tell Su Yanan, and Su Yanan also tacitly did not tell Su Xueqing about Su's mother. The two sisters knew that pretending to be deaf and dumb was the best choice at this time. They did not need to get close to Su's mother. If they did, Su's mother might blame them.
Su's mother originally thought that her two daughters would come to comfort her, but Su Yanan did not come, and even Su Xueqing did not come.
Why didn't they come?
At night, Su's mother couldn't sleep well. She tossed and turned and was very miserable.
"Having trouble sleeping?" Su's father asked.
"Not really." said Su's mother.
"Then go to sleep." said Father Su.
"Yanan and Xueqing haven't come for several days." said Su's mother.
"They are far away. It takes two to three hours to come here, not including the time spent sitting." Father Su said, "It's faster to take a car. It takes more than an hour to take a bus. Doesn't it take three hours to go back and forth? And you have to wait for the bus. It's troublesome."
"I forgot...they are so far away from us." Su's mother still thought her two daughters lived very close to us.
"If they live close by, they can just walk a few steps." Father Su said, "It's too far now. Don't let them come if there's nothing else. They have to run the store and work, it's hard work."
Father Su didn't want his wife to only pay attention to Amelia Su. Amelia Su worked hard, so didn't other people work hard? Others also have to work, not sit at home and wait for money to fall from the sky.
"Ah..." Su's mother sighed, "It's hard to walk over now."
"Don't go." Father Su said, "It's such a long way. Didn't Xueqing say that when you want to go there, call her and she will arrange a car to pick you up."
"Don't bother." Su's mother said. She didn't really think about calling Su Xueqing to arrange a car to pick her up. If it didn't work, she would take a taxi here. "I know how to take the bus."
"Yeah." Su's father responded.
"I just haven't seen them for a while..." Su's mother said, "They didn't come when Yaozu got married."
"Why are you here without an invitation?" said Father Su.
Amelia Su didn’t send invitations to these people, and she still wanted others to give her face. She could only dream about it.
"Are you still thinking about Yamei?" asked Su's father.
"No, I don't want to think about it anymore." Su's mother said, "Ya Mei doesn't need me to worry about her."
When Mother Su thought of the words Amelia Su scolded her, she felt that her enthusiasm was soaked by ice water. Looking back, the two daughters were not so close to her. Mother Su told herself that it was because the two daughters lived far away from them.
In fact, Su's mother knew clearly that if her children really wanted to see her, they didn't have to worry about the distance at all. They could come whenever they wanted.
"Then don't worry." said Father Su.
“……” Su’s mother sensed her husband’s impatience and stopped talking.
Su's mother recalled the days before her aunt's death. She and her husband went to see her. She looked very haggard and her body was in a state of disrepair. At that time, Su's mother thought that she must not become like her.
The news that Su’s mother was scolded by Amelia Su spread throughout the community.
When Xu's mother went to see Xu Ruyun, she also told her about how Su's mother was scolded. Xu's mother thought to herself that it was fortunate that she did not do the same as Su's mother.
"Su Xueqing's mother is not smart. She should have had less contact with her eldest daughter and shouldn't have helped her more." Xu's mother said, "Helping her so much has led to hatred. She is also lucky that her youngest daughter is so rich and will be filial to her. She doesn't have to worry about her old age."
"Mom, it's great that you think so." Xu Ruyun said, "When you get old, don't be naughty and don't do things that are biased. Live your life well. If you are given food and money, just eat and take it. Don't worry about other things."
"No matter what, no matter what." Xu's mother said, "I saw her like this, how could I dare to do anything about it."
Xu's mother is a person who is content with money. As long as Xu Ruyun gives her enough, she can be quiet and not cause trouble. After all, Xu Ruyun is the heroine. In the original novel, the heroine's family has some problems, but generally speaking, it's okay. The Xu family has hindered Xu Ruyun, but not much. Xu Ruyun just gives them money to let them be quiet and stop making trouble.
As for Su's mother, she took the money given to her by her children. She did not get any money from Amelia Su, but treated Amelia Su better.
How could Su Yanan and the others feel uncomfortable when they saw this? This relationship was bound to collapse sooner or later, even if there was no demolition, it would still collapse.
"You can't live a good life, but you care so much. For the sake of a daughter, you offend other people... Actually, if she offends other children for her richest daughter, then it's fine. At least there are benefits. It's not worth it for her to offend other children for such a troublesome thing as Amelia Su." Mother Xu said, "It's not worth it at all. When I saw her, I felt that she had aged a lot in an instant."
"Everyone has to pay the price for their choices," said Xu Ruyun.
"That's right." Mother Xu said, "After something like that happened, her two daughters didn't go there immediately."
"They are so far away, they may not know." Xu Ruyun thought that even if Su Yanan and Su Xueqing knew, they might pretend not to know. They would not get any benefit if they approached Su's mother at this time. If it was Xu Ruyun, she would just pretend not to know and she would not approach.
After more than half a month, Su Xueqing went to see Su's father and mother with Su Yanan. Su Xueqing's family had a car, so Su Yanan went with them.
The two sisters bought a lot of food for Su's father and mother, and the money from selling flowers was still in that account.
The relocation money is the relocation money, and the pension money is the pension money. The two sisters know the difference clearly. They did not stop selling flowers just because Su's father and mother got the relocation money.
"Mom, I heard that my elder sister scolded you?" Su Yanan said. She deliberately said this after so many days, and raised her voice. "My elder sister is too much. How about I go over and talk to her?"
"No need to say it." Su's mother said, "It's no use even if you say it."
"Why is it useless? At least scold her a few times and let everyone know that she is an unfilial daughter." Su Yanan said, "If the distance is not too far, I will go to her shop a few more times."
Su Yanan meant that she lived too far away and she had no way to deal with Su Yamei. Su Yanan was about to get up, but Su's mother stopped her.
Su Yanan looked at Su Xueqing and signaled with her eyes: See, what I said, mom will never let us talk about eldest sister.
On the way over by car, Su Yanan and Su Xueqing were talking to each other. Su Yanan said that Su's mother would never let them cause trouble for Su Yamei, and Su's mother would definitely stop them, but if they didn't say anything, Su's mother would be unhappy if they didn't know. Therefore, they had to say that they knew and let Su's mother stop them.
Su Xueqing glanced at Su Yanan, she broke off a banana, peeled a banana for Su's mother, and stuffed another banana into Su Yanan's hand. Su Xueqing didn't say anything, she sat quietly beside her and ate the banana.
"The bananas are not very sweet this time." Su Xueqing said.
"It's quite sweet." Su Yanan said, "The bananas you bought are good and delicious. They must have cost a lot of money."
"It's not about the money, it's about the taste." Su Xueqing said, "Maybe this batch of bananas doesn't taste good."
"You eat it often, so you should be able to taste it." Su Yanan said, "I eat it, and I think it's pretty good."
When Su's mother saw Su Xueqing and her sister talking about the banana issue, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, please eat this delicious banana." Su Yanan said, "It's good that my elder sister broke up with you. She's like a bandit. She takes everything we give you."
"She didn't bring it home." Su's mother said, "She brought it for Yaozu to eat."
"If you are willing to give, she can naturally take it." Su Yanan said, "In the past, when we sent things, we had to give more, including a portion for Big Sister. It's not to help Big Sister buy things for you, but to help you buy things for Big Sister."
When Su Xueqing was drinking water and heard Su Yanan's words, she almost choked on the water.
"Look at you. You suffered such a big loss, and you even choked when drinking some water." Su Yanan said, "You won't be able to make up for your losses like this."
Mrs. Su San went to peel a pineapple. When she brought the pineapple to the living room, she happened to hear what Su Yanan said.
"If your family didn't have a lot of money, I wonder if your brother-in-law would divorce you." Su Yanan said, and then she looked at Su San's wife, "Sister-in-law, in the future, we won't buy so many things. Buying less will save you from not being able to finish the food and having to deal with it, right?"
"Second sister is right." Third sister-in-law Su agreed with Su Yanan's words very much, "Don't buy too much. If you buy too much, I will be embarrassed to take it back to my mother's house for my mother to eat. I can't just leave it there and let it rot."
"..." Su's mother felt that Su Yanan was not here to comfort her, but to poke her lungs.
"Second sister, little sister, you stay here for lunch and go back after lunch." Third sister-in-law Su said, "I made some buns, you can try them."
"Okay." Su Yanan said, "You can make your own buns or buy them. How much does a bun cost?"
At noon, Su Xueqing and others stayed.
In addition to the meat buns, Su Sansao also stewed winter melon and pork ribs soup and fried two dishes of vegetables. They mainly ate the buns and did not eat rice.
"This bun tastes so good, and has plenty of meat." Su Yanan broke a bun in half, "It has more meat filling than the buns outside."
Su Xueqing thought that it was her second sister who dared to say it. If it were her, she would not bother to say these words.
"I bought the meat this morning." Mrs. Su said, "You said you were coming, so I prepared it this morning."
"My sister-in-law is really nice." Su Yanan said.
"I wanted to steam rice cakes," said Mrs. Su. "We are just a bunch of us, and we can't eat all the food we make. Rice cakes tend to become dry and rough, so I just didn't make them. I'll make them next time you come."
"No need to be so troublesome." Su Xueqing said, "No need to make these dishes every time."
"Xudong is in college now, so we have more time to do these things." Mrs. Su smiled and said, "You are married, but this is still your home."
Mrs. Su was polite. Su Xueqing and Su Yanan knew that after they got married and returned to their parents' home, this family had changed. It was impossible for Su Xueqing and her sister to be as casual as before. They still had to be more careful. Su Xueqing and her sister were not Su Yamei. They knew their limits.
This time, Su Yanan was the one doing most of the talking, while Su Xueqing spoke less.
On the way back, in the car, Su Yanan said, "I wanted to say something, but I decided to forget it. I said those words, and Mom should understand what I meant."
"Mom understands." Su Xueqing said, "Mom is partial, not stupid."
"It's okay to go there once or twice a month." Su Yanan said, "To be honest, I don't want to see my mother so often now."
"Then see each other less often." Su Xueqing said.
"At Mom's age, we rarely see each other." Su Yanan said, "But we don't see each other many times. What can we do? We can't force Su Yamei to apologize to Mom and let them reconcile."
“Impossible.” Amelia Su was unwilling to contact Amelia Su.
"That's it." Su Yanan said, "There's nothing we can do about it. If we do less and say less, Mom will be in a better mood."
After Su Yanan and her sister went back, Su's mother went back to her room. She was thinking about what Su Yanan said. Su's mother didn't expect Su Yanan to be so dissatisfied, and Su Xueqing didn't say much. Su's mother understood that Su Xueqing was not angry, but because her family was rich and didn't need that little bit, Su Xueqing didn't waste that time. Su Yanan was more deeply touched, so she said more.
Su Xueqing came with Su Yanan today, so Su Yanan said less. If Su Yanan came alone, she would say more in front of Su's mother, and the mother and daughter might quarrel.
Mother Su would give face to Amelia Su and Su Xueqing, but not necessarily to Su Yanan. Su Yanan knew it clearly, which was why she said something and ran away when she was alone with Mother Su before. If she didn't run away, she would have to face Mother Su's anger. With Su Xueqing around, Mother Su wouldn't lose her temper.
Su Xueqing gave too many things to the family, and her mother knew it very well. She had to give Su Xueqing face, and other people in the family also gave Su Xueqing face.
After Su's mother returned to her room, Su Sansao did not knock on the door, allowing Su's mother to have a good rest.
On the other hand, Amelia Su wanted her daughter-in-law to check the gender of the child to see if it was a boy or a girl. If it was a girl, she would not let her daughter-in-law eat so well. After the daughter-in-law married into the family, she had to eat good fruits. Amelia Su bought cheaper fruits and Deng Meixian disliked the fruits because they were not tasty.
"Mom, please don't always buy discounted fruits that others don't want. These fruits don't taste good." Deng Meixian glanced at the bananas with black spots on the table. "Fruits are the easiest to spoil."
