Chapter 67: Those who are not used to speaking are all in dialect
"Mom..." Yan's mother quickly put away the smile on her face, "I... I didn't plan anything."
"It's better this way." Old Lady Yan said, "The engagement between the Ning family and the Yan family must be maintained in the next few years. Don't think about those messy things, and don't act rashly."
"No, no." It was impossible for Yan's mother to say that she wanted to match Yan Yichen with another woman.
When Yan's mother returned home, she wondered what the woman's identity was, but she also felt that it didn't matter what the woman's identity was. As long as Yan Yichen didn't like Ning Jiaxuan, this was more important than anything else. Yan's mother was worried that Yan Yichen would fall in love with Ning Jiaxuan. When men and women get along for a long time, it is easy for them to fall in love.
In order to prevent Yan Yichen from falling in love with Ning Jiaxuan, the best way is to let Yan Yichen look at other women more.
"The Ning family is willing to help the Yan family now because of the old friendship between the two families." Old Lady Yan said, "Don't do anything to offend the Ning family. This little friendship will not last long."
“……” Mother Yan lowered her head slightly and said nothing.
Yan Yichen did not go looking for Ning Jiaxuan. If he wanted to look for her, he would have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Before the New Year, Yan Yichen sent gifts to the Ning family. When he sent the gifts, Yan's mother said at home that Yan Yichen had given too many gifts. Yan Yichen couldn't have given less to the Ning family. The Ning family gave a lot to the Yan family. Yan Yichen couldn't let them think that the Yan family only knew how to accept gifts and didn't know how to return the favor.
As the man's family, the Yan family should give more gifts in return, so as not to be laughed at by others or to avoid being thought that the Yan family does not respect the Ning family.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing did not go to the temple. They went to Nancheng University. It was winter vacation, and a small number of students stayed in school. These students spent the New Year in school. The school cafeteria let everyone eat for free last night.
"A lot of leaves have fallen." Su Xueqing looked up at the trees. Many of the leaves on the trees had turned yellow.
Nancheng is closer to the south, and the leaves there turn yellow more slowly and fall more slowly.
At this time, the weather was cold, and many leaves had fallen. The ground was covered with a layer of leaves. When the wind blew, more leaves fell from the trees. The leaves on the ground were still a little wet, which was related to the light rain in the morning.
Su Xueqing sneezed and rubbed her nose.
"Are you cold?" Ning Yanjing asked quickly.
"It's not cold, not cold." Su Xueqing said, "It's very warm, I just sneezed suddenly, it's okay."
Ning Yanjing hugged Su Xueqing and the two continued to walk forward.
"You can come here again in the future. As long as you want to come, we will come." Ning Yanjing said.
"It's so close, of course you can come over." Su Xueqing said.
"Even if I move, I can come here." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing reached out and took a fallen leaf. "When I was in school, my teacher taught us to make bookmarks with leaves. The leaf bookmarks I made were not good-looking because I always brushed the leaves to pieces. So I asked my mother to brush the leaves for me. My mother brushed the leaves very well. The veins of the leaves were very clear and they were dyed, which looked very beautiful."
"You still do this?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Haven't you done it?" Su Xueqing asked.
"We have never done this before. From now on, we will do it with our children." Ning Yanjing said.
"It's still early." Su Xueqing said.
"We can come to your alma mater to pick up leaves in the future." Ning Yanjing said, "Bring a bag and pick up more leaves."
Su Xueqing recalled the time when she and Ning Yanjing brought their child to Nancheng University. The child was jumping around in front of them, and they were telling the child to be careful. They might even run into a familiar teacher on the way, and the teacher teased her, saying: The child is already this big.
After Xu Ruyun and the others finished burning incense and went back home, they packed up their things because they had to take the train to Yu's house tomorrow, and it would be too late to pack up tomorrow. Yu Li bought some gifts for her family. She also brought some small ornaments that she sold at home, which could be given to the children and adults could also use. The price was not high, just a little thought.
The next day, Xu Ruyun and others got on the train, and Xu's mother thought of the gold earrings worn by Su's mother.
"Su Xueqing is really filial to her mother and grandmother. She bought them gold earrings." Mother Xu said, "They look quite big and heavy. They look very beautiful."
"I'll buy it for you another day." Xu Ruyun said.
"I'm not asking you to buy it, I'm just expressing my feelings." Mother Xu said, "There are so many children in the Su family, and only Su Xueqing buys those things for the elders."
"Su Xueqing has money." Xu Ruyun said, "In addition to the betrothal money and the money her husband gave her, she also works to earn subsidies and saves money."
Xu Ruyun likes positive women, and Su Xueqing happens to be the type of woman Xu Ruyun likes. Su Xueqing did not stop working just because the man is rich, and Xu Ruyun hopes that Su Xueqing will continue to be like this in the future.
In her previous life, Xu Ruyun didn't have a job. She stayed at home to take care of her husband, children and do housework. Those people didn't show any consideration for her at all. They all thought that she was a woman and she didn't have a job, so she should do all the housework. Xu Ruyun believed that even if she had a job, Liao Jiankai would still let her do housework.
It's good for Su Xueqing. She found a rich partner and there are servants at home, so Su Xueqing doesn't have to work. She can do what she wants.
Xu Ruyun didn't think Su Xueqing should stay at home and be a rich wife. A family like the Ning family could easily ruin a person. Su Xueqing was not good at doing housework at home. She had a good diploma. As for whether she was pretty or not, after a long time, it would no longer be fresh and that was it.
"She said that she and her boyfriend would each pay half." said Xu's mother.
"Her partner can pay for everything." Xu Ruyun said, "Su Xueqing even paid for it herself, which shows that she still wants to be stronger."
"Women don't need to be too strong. They still have to rely on men when they need to." said Xu's mother.
Yu Li didn't say anything, she just listened, she knew Su Xueqing was amazing, how could she not be amazing if she was the first in her major. Su Xueqing was admitted to a good university and had good grades. Yu Li used to like to talk about Su Xueqing, but when she went on a blind date, she realized how pathetic she was, she thought she was amazing, but she found out that she wasn't.
On the surface, everyone is studying in the same school and seems to be at the same starting line, but in fact, everyone has different family backgrounds, different registered residences, different family members' views... There are differences in every aspect, and these differences are not something that these young college students can see all at once. Once they leave school, they will see them clearly.
"You can't rely on men for everything." Xu Ruyun said, "Men are very unreliable."
"It's not bad." Xu's mother said, "Isn't your father pretty good?"
"That's because the times you live in are quite different." Xu Ruyun said, "Before, being a hooligan was very serious. Now it's not the case anymore. Some things have been gradually relaxed."
Xu Ruyun doesn't like listening to her mother talking about things in the past, nor does she like her mother comparing her own experiences with hers.
"Okay, Mom." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't envy other people's families. I'll buy you a pair of gold earrings some other day. Aren't they just gold earrings? If you can afford them, I'll buy you a pair of big gold earrings for you to wear out."
"Are you really going to buy it?" asked Xu's mother.
"Of course it's true. I've said it, so it's true." Xu Ruyun said, "Buy it. I must buy it."
Xu Ruyun knew that her mother didn't necessarily mean for her to buy it. But after hearing that, Xu Ruyun felt bad. She wanted to buy something for her mother as well, so that she wouldn't be outdone by others. Xu Ruyun still had a competitive spirit and didn't want others to think that she was too mean to her parents.
In fact, few people think Xu Ruyun is not good to her parents, and many people can't do what Su Xueqing did. Most people send fish and other things, and quite a few people don't have anything to send.
"Mom, you need to have a good rest." Xu Ruyun said, "We still need some time."
The train rumbles so loudly that it is difficult to get a good rest. One can only lean back and take a nap.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su's mother invited Aunt Su and others to her home for dinner. Yu Guochao and his wife did not come, and since they did not come, Su's mother naturally could not let anyone go to invite Yu Guochao and his wife alone.
Yu Guochao had been drunk at the Su family before, and kept saying that the Su family looked down on him. The Su family might not want to hear Yu Guochao and his wife say those things again. Yu Guochao and his wife were angry. They deliberately didn't come. Did they really think they needed this meal? They didn't need it!
Yu Guochao and his wife wanted the Su family to send someone to invite him, even if it was just to send someone to call. They would come when they knew the Su family had given in.
However, how could the Su family give in? Yu Guochao and his wife are the younger generation, not the elders. If Yu Guochao and his wife were the elders, the Su family would still invite Yu Guochao and his wife.
So no one cared whether Yu Guochao and his wife came or not. Aunt Su said that Yu Guochao and his wife did not come because they had something to do, and Su's mother and others assumed that Yu Guochao and his wife really had something to do.
"They don't have any problems, they are just angry." Zhu Baoqian said deliberately, "Angry that we didn't let them eat New Year's Eve dinner together."
Aunt Su looked at Zhu Baoqian and asked why the second eldest brother brought up this.
"Are you going to have New Year's Eve dinner separately?" Amelia Su asked.
"Yes, they are separated." Zhu Baoqian said, "My eldest brother and his wife never work. Before the New Year, they have to borrow money to send to his wife's parents' home, leaving no money for the New Year. As their younger brothers and sisters, we can't always help my eldest brother and his wife, as it will make them think that we should help them. They still don't work this year. We didn't let them come to have the New Year's Eve dinner together, because their children came."
Zhu Baoqian thought she had done a good job, she did not ignore the children and did not stop them from eating at her home. If it were someone else, they might not even let their children come.
“You did…”
“Yamei.” Mother Su saw Amelia Su was going to comment, so she called Amelia Su’s name, “Go and smoke the steamed duck.”
“Okay.” Amelia Su said quickly.
Half a duck was to be smoked, and Su's mother specially prepared the cut half, and the other half was used to make soup.
"Go get some rice," said Su's mother. "Watch it carefully. Don't just chat and burn the duck."
“No, how could I not be able to do such a small thing.” Amelia Su said, “Don’t worry, it must be smoked well.”
Zhu Baoqian was pregnant, so the Su family asked her to sit next to them and rest. They also opened the cakes that Su Xueqing had sent and put them on the table so that everyone could have a taste.
"Where is Xueqing?" asked Aunt Su.
"She'll come over in a while, but she can't do these things. If she comes and stands over there, won't she be in the way?" said Su's mother.
"Now that you're here, we can chat together." Zhu Baoqian said.
Zhu Baoqian and his wife were still thinking about building a good relationship with Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing. They couldn't ask Su Xueqing for money now, just in case something else happened in the future. There was no benefit in associating with powerful people, and they wouldn't lose anything anyway.
"We don't have a TV here, so she goes to watch TV." Su's mother said, "She is busy on weekdays, studying and working, and it's rare for her to have free time, so let her do whatever she wants."
"Want to play poker?" Wei Dashan took out the poker cards.
"Come." Yu Jiachao said.
Yu Jiachao, Wei Dashan, Tian Guohua, and Su Sange were playing poker over there. They played for a while before the food was served, which was also a way to kill time. There was some money in front of them. They were all playing among family members, so they didn't play too much.
"It would be great if my brother-in-law was here." Yu Jiachao sighed, Ning Yanjing is rich.
However, drawing the cards depends on luck, and it is hard to say what the final result will be.
Yu Jiachao thought it would be great if Ning Yanjing could lose some money to them. But Ning Yanjing didn't play this, and Su Xueqing didn't let Ning Yanjing play this with Wei Dashan and others.
How could Su Xueqing not know what Yu Jiachao was thinking? Wei Dashan didn't dare to think about it. Third Brother Su had no idea, and those people in the Yu family were thinking about tearing a piece of flesh from Ning Yanjing.
"He doesn't play these, and Xueqing doesn't let him play them either." Su's mother added.
Su's mother knew clearly what the Yu family wanted to do. These people wanted to get some money from Ning Yanjing because he had money. When playing games, they could say it was a matter of luck, saying that Ning Yanjing had bad luck, saying that Ning Yanjing had money, and losing some money to them was nothing. Oh, then they could let Su's uncle-in-law go, and they could say that Ning Yanjing was filial to Su's uncle-in-law.
This may sound nice and filial, but in the eyes of others, it is because of luck and strength that Ning Yanjing won, not because Ning Yanjing gave money to others for free. If Ning Yanjing was lucky, Ning Yanjing could also win money.
Su Xueqing had thought about this earlier, and Su's mother and the others also knew about it. They did not force Ning Yanjing to play with these people, so there was no need to rush to give money to others, and others would not be grateful to them.
"It's New Year time, so we should have some fun." Yu Jiachao said, "My brother-in-law is afraid of me?"
"It's not that we're afraid. It's just that we should be considerate of each other as two people living together." Su's mother said.
"We're not going to do anything big." Yu Jiachao said.
"You have to play with the big ones." Su's mother said, "This thing is addictive. Play the small ones here, and the big ones somewhere else."
Wei Dashan lost one or two dollars, and Amelia Su was anxious watching him.
Amelia Su didn't want Wei Dashan to lose money, but this kind of thing was not something Amelia Su could decide. It depended on luck and who had the bigger card. Relatives played for a while, maybe just today, and they played for two or three days throughout the year.
Amelia Su went to take away the money in front of Wei Dashan, preventing Wei Dashan from taking out too much money.
"Cousin." Yu Jiachao said, "You have made so much money, let your brother-in-law have some fun."
“He’s playing.” Amelia Su said.
Amelia Su just didn't want Wei Dashan to lose too much money. Sometimes he was unlucky and kept losing. If he was lucky, he would win anyway. Amelia Su worked hard to get up in the morning to sell breakfast, and she didn't want Wei Dashan to lose money easily. Even if they were all relatives, that is, Yu Jiachao's relationship was a little more distant, it wouldn't work.
Tian Guohua was fine, he won a little. Su Yanan didn't say anything to Tian Guohua, their family was better off and they had some spare money. Su Yanan didn't have a job to earn money, so as long as Tian Guohua didn't do too much, there would be no problem.
When Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing arrived, Yu Jiachao and others were still playing, and Yu Jiachao said, "Brother-in-law, play together."
Ning Yanjing was happy that someone called him brother-in-law, but there was no way he would play that game with these people.
"You guys play." Ning Yanjing said.
"Brother-in-law, is I afraid of my younger sister?" Yu Jiachao also said this in front of Ning Yanjing.
"She is in charge of our family's money." Ning Yanjing said.
"..." Yu Jiachao didn't believe it. Yu Guochao and his people went to Su Xueqing to borrow money, but couldn't borrow a penny. Su Xueqing pushed Ning Yanjing, Ning Yanjing wanted interest, and Su Xueqing was in charge of what to do. It depends on the situation. Yu Jiachao thought that the richer people are, the more stingy they are.
“It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat, put everything away.” Amelia Su said anxiously.
Wei Dashan lost money, so Amelia Su must let them finish quickly. Amelia Su didn't expect Wei Dashan to make a comeback, it was difficult to make a comeback.
"Put them all away." said Mrs. Su.
Old Lady Su had spoken, so how could these people dare to continue playing? They could only pack up their things first. Old Lady Su knew clearly that if she didn't call them, these people would still be able to play for a while.
During the meal, Yu Jiachao asked Ning Yanjing to drink, but Ning Yanjing still refused. Yu Jiachao did not say that Ning Yanjing did not give him face. If Yu Guochao was there, Yu Guochao would feel that Ning Yanjing did not give him face and would say it directly. Su Xueqing did not see Yu Guochao and his wife, so she did not ask much. Yu Guochao and his wife could come or not.
Yu Guochao and his wife ate at home with their children. There were few dishes at home, and none of them were meat dishes. When Yu Dasao looked at the dishes on the table, she got angry. There were only radishes, pickles, and at most a fried egg. When Yu Dasao was cooking, she felt angry. Why didn't the Su family call them? Whenever the Su family called, Yu Dasao would answer the phone and go over.
"Your uncle and his family really don't care about you." Yu Dasao said, "It's New Year's Day, and they all got together, but they didn't even bother to call you."
Su's mother told Aunt Su that she didn't specifically ask anyone to come, and everyone knew it. During the Chinese New Year, the younger generation should go to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, but Yu Dasao insisted on doing this and had to wait for the Su family to call them. Of course, the Su family would not ask Yu Dasao and his wife to come over.
Mrs. Yu and her husband felt that they did not get the money from the Su family, and they were angry, so they had to ask someone to call them, so that they could feel better. Mrs. Yu and Yu Guochao were not newlyweds, if they were newlyweds, Su's mother would have called them specially.
"Let's eat." Yu Guochao said.
Mrs. Yu put the bowl and chopsticks on the table abruptly. "With just this little food, is it like Chinese New Year? Your brother and his wife are eating big fish and meat now. Your uncle's family can't just give you this little food, they have a lot of delicious food at home."
Mrs. Yu looked at her child again and said, "I asked your parents to take the child over, but they refused to take him. Your sister-in-law must have said something to your mother, so they refused to take him. We won't eat it, but the child can."
"They're having dinner," Yu Guochao said, "We don't have time to go over there."
"I thought they would call us." Yu Dasao said, "It seems that in your uncle's eyes, you are nothing."
“……”Yu Guochao lowered his head.
"Don't worry about paying them back." Mrs. Yu said, "I think they are very rich. They don't need this little money. They are not willing to lend you more money or help you more. We don't need to be too nice to them in the future."
"..." Yu Guochao still didn't say anything. He looked at the food on the table and felt unhappy.
Yu Guochao originally wanted to go to the Su family, but Yu's sister-in-law said she didn't want to go, so Yu Guochao had no choice but to listen to her.
Yu Dasao's family had a lot of food during the New Year. Some of them were still wondering if they had asked Yu Guochao and his wife for less money. They should have said more at the beginning, not just so little. In order to go back to the city, Yu Guochao would definitely nod and accept it. The actual amount of money taken out was not that much. Yu Dasao's family deceived Yu Guochao. Some people in the village also said that when Yu Guochao and his wife had not returned to the city, someone told Yu Guochao that. Yu Guochao asked Yu Dasao, and Yu Dasao said that those people were talking nonsense.
Yu Dasao thought that her family worked hard to get connections and take care of things for them, so it was normal for them to charge her some money. Yu Dasao also thought that her family did lend them money, not that they didn't lend them any money, saying that the money lent by Yu Guochao's relatives was too little, and that the money should have been paid by Yu Guochao's relatives.
"They must be eating so much that their faces are greasy now." Yu Dasao said, "Your brothers and sisters are really good at pretending."
Yu Guochao didn’t know whether Yu Jiachao was pretending or not, he only knew that they didn’t get to eat those good things tonight.
At the Su family, everyone ate happily. After the meal, Su Xueqing gave red envelopes to Su Yanan's three children. Yu Guochao and his wife's children did not come, so Su Xueqing did not let Aunt Su take the red envelopes over. If they had a good relationship, Su Xueqing might have let Aunt Su take the red envelopes back, but since the relationship was not very good, Su Xueqing would not do that.
Su Xueqing was not afraid of what others said. Originally, red envelopes were given to children who came to visit the family. Children who did not come to visit the family did not receive any red envelopes. "Visiting the family" refers to the family's own home, not the family's home. Some people are so particular and want to give fewer red envelopes. Besides, if the family did not come to visit the family and did not send New Year's greetings, why should their family give out red envelopes?
If Su Xueqing is willing to give, it is her own business. If she is unwilling to give, no one can force her to give.
"You don't have to pack it yet. You can wait until next year." Su Yanan said.
"It's packed, just take it." Su Xueqing said.
"We got the marriage certificate." Ning Yanjing added.
"..." Su Xueqing looked at Ning Yanjing speechlessly. Did she want him to add this sentence?
"Now that you're married, you should keep the money." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing reached out and scratched Ning Yanjing: You are the only one who knew about getting married!
"It's licensed and legal." Ning Yanjing said.
"Yes, yes, it's legal." Su Xueqing didn't want to say more.
"Yes, you are legal." Su Yanan smiled, "Now that you are married, have a child soon and we will give your child a red envelope."
"Having a baby isn't for the sake of getting a red envelope." Su Xueqing muttered.
"The red envelope should be considered a pleasant surprise." Su Yanan said.
"Not surprising at all, you have to give during the Chinese New Year." Su Xueqing said, "Second sister, unless you are thick-skinned, you will only receive and not give."
"As your second sister, I'm not that shameless." Su Yanan said. She had no intention of not giving red envelopes to Su Xueqing's children. Not only did she have to give them, but the amount could not be too small.
Aunt Su and others went back, Su Xueqing did not let Aunt Su take the red envelope back, nor did Su's mother and others. Yu Guochao and his wife did not bring their children here, so they should not blame others for not giving red envelopes.
Su's mother didn't let Auntie Su bring some food back. If it was in previous years, Su's mother might have done so. But now, the Yu family didn't do well, and Yu Guochao and his wife were like that, Su's mother thought it was better not to let Auntie Su bring anything back, so that others would not say that she was eating their leftovers and that they didn't want those things, so she gave them to the Yu family.
In this day and age, it was good to have something to eat, and it was clean food, not leftovers. It was possible that Yu Dasao would really say those things, so Su's mother simply didn't give it to her, which could also avoid some trouble.
Mrs. Yu watched Aunt Su and the others coming back from outside. She saw that they had empty hands. She originally thought that these people would bring back something, but in the end they brought back nothing.
When Zhu Baoqian saw Yu Dasao, she knew what Yu Dasao was thinking. Yu Dasao and her husband did not go to the Su family themselves, so they should not blame others for not bringing them anything. They would not take the initiative to eat and take anything, unless the Su family took the initiative to give it to them.
"Uncle, aunt, they are so polite and made a lot of delicious food." Zhu Baoqian said, "Sister-in-law, it's such a pity that you didn't go there."
"It's just a meal." Mrs. Yu said stubbornly.
"That's not an ordinary meal." Zhu Baoqian said, "It's very sumptuous."
When Little Aunt Su returned to her room, she thought of the gold earrings on Old Lady Su's ears, which were bought by Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing bought them for both Old Lady Su and Su's mother. Little Aunt Su thought that she had never bought anything too expensive for Old Lady Su in all these years since she got married. Little Aunt Su touched her earlobes and realized that she didn't have any gold earrings.
Amelia Su and others stayed in the Su family for a little longer and did not go back early.
"Sister, don't you have to get up tomorrow morning to sell breakfast?" Su Yanan asked.
“It’s okay to go later tomorrow if we’re happy today.” Amelia Su said, “It’s mainly because the dough is fermenting. We can knead the dough earlier and sleep for a while in the middle. It’s right next to us, very close.”
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing have already gone back, they are not here.
"My little sister is really happy. She can go back and watch TV." Amelia Su said, "Unlike us, we just lie on the bed after we go back, and there is no TV to watch. You said, my little sister and her family will move to another house later, so won't their house be empty?"
"It can be rented out." Su Yanan said.
"I'm not talking about the house, I'm talking about the appliances inside." Amelia Su said, "The TV, the refrigerator, they should have bought these things for their wedding room, not just moved them there. There is a big difference between the TVs a few years ago and the ones now. My brother-in-law is so rich, if he bought new ones, what about the old ones?"
"Are you thinking about it?" Su Yanan asked.
"No, even if you miss me, it's not my turn to miss you." Amelia Su said, "Don't my parents have a TV yet? If I'm willing, I can give the old TV to my parents."
“…” Su Yanan’s mouth twitched slightly. Neither her parents nor Amelia Su said anything, but Amelia Su thought about it first.
“What I said is true. The wedding banquet will be held in May, which is very soon.” Amelia Su said, “I heard that those college students don’t have many classes when they are in their senior year. My younger sister should live in the wedding house instead of the house here. Then… Mom and Dad don’t have to buy a TV so early, they can wait.”
Su's father and mother were not waiting for Su Xueqing's old TV, but they had spent a lot of money in the past few years and the family had to save money and could not spend all the money on buying a TV at once.
"Yamei, please say less." Su's mother couldn't stand it anymore. If someone who didn't know knew about it, they would think that the Su family was thinking about Su Xueqing's old TV.
These days, many people don’t have a TV at home, so it doesn’t matter whether they watch TV or not. Amelia Su’s words were too inappropriate.
"Mom, that's how it is." Amelia Su said, "My little sister's parents-in-law definitely don't need this TV. If they rent out the house, they don't have to put the TV there. Doesn't the house we rent have no TV?"
"Aren't you going to make breakfast tomorrow morning? Go back and have some rest early." Su's mother said.
"Mom, I just said a few more words, but you can't wait for me to go back and rest." Amelia Su said, "This is the fact, there is nothing to hide. I also want to ask my little sister how she plans to deal with them..."
"This is your little sister's business, it has nothing to do with you." Mother Su interrupted Amelia Su, "Don't think about it after a few good days."
“I didn’t think about it.” Amelia Su said, “Okay, I’ll go back and rest.”
Amelia Su and her husband left the child behind and went back to rest. When Su Yanan saw Amelia Su going back, she and her husband also took the child back.
Walking on the road, Su Yanan looked at the three children jumping in front of her and smiled, "Be careful."
The three children were still jumping around, they liked it.
"Did you lose or win money today?" Su Yanan asked.
"I lost two dollars. I won at the beginning, but lost again later." Tian Guohua said, "Jia Chao won."
"He played with you just to make money." Su Yanan said, "You didn't even know how to find an excuse to slip away, saying you had diarrhea and went to the toilet."
"It's the New Year, everyone is happy, let's have fun together." Tian Guohua said.
"My younger sister gave the children red envelopes, and each red envelope had two yuan." Su Yanan just took a look and saw that the red envelopes given by Amelia Su and Brother Su San were much smaller. Of course, the amount of red envelopes given by Su Yanan was not much, that is, Su Xueqing and her husband were more generous, "Three red envelopes, six yuan."
"So many." Tian Guohua sighed.
"Yes, it's a lot. I have to pack it back later." Su Yanan said.
"Yeah." Tian Guohua nodded, "No one from the Yu family came today."
"Don't worry about Yu Guochao. I think they don't want to come. They just want someone from our family to invite them over." Su Yanan said, "They are dissatisfied because we didn't lend them money."
"How can I lend them money?" Tian Guohua said, "If Jiachao borrows money, Jiachao can still pay it back. But if Guochao borrows money, he really dares not to pay it back."
Tian Guohua and Yu Jiachao have a better relationship. It's not that Tian Guohua looks down on Yu Guochao, but Yu Guochao himself makes others look down on him. Yu Guochao doesn't go for any job opportunities. For example, at the construction site in the development zone, Su Xueqing is there. As long as Yu Guochao works hard, he can keep this job. Su Xueqing is at the Architectural Design Institute, and there will definitely be other construction sites that need workers in the future. Yu Guochao will not worry about having nothing to do.
But Yu Guochao refused to go to the construction site to work, and looked like someone was trying to kill him. Especially after someone died at the construction site, Yu Guochao looked even more relieved.
If others see this, will they be happy? Others want you to have a good job and support your family, but you think they want to kill you.
"Who would dare to lend him money if he doesn't pay it back?" Tian Guohua said, "Guochao has to send money to his wife's family every month, saying that they owe him money. I suspect that his wife's family deliberately cheated him. And the betrothal money, Jiachao's wife brought most of the betrothal money as a dowry, and what about Guochao's wife?"
Tian Guohua doesn't like to talk about Yu Guochao. Yu Guochao's head is full of straw and he can be easily fooled.
"I gave it all to the Yue family." Su Yanan said, "I didn't lend them money from the beginning, but my parents lent them a lot of money. Now, it's not easy to ask them to pay it back. They are still living in a difficult situation. I'm afraid that the money will be wasted in the end."
Su Yanan felt speechless when she thought about it. Yu Guochao treated his relatives as enemies and tricked them.
"Today, the Yu family said that Yu Guochao and his wife couldn't come because they had something to do, but we ignored them and didn't call them to come." Su Yanan said, "We have to pay to call them, and they will be proud of it."
In the living room, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were still watching TV. They really hadn't thought about how to deal with the home appliances here. Su Xueqing hadn't even graduated from college yet, and she might stay here for a few more days.
"Tomorrow, my parents and I are going to visit relatives. Are you going?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"No." Su Xueqing shook her head, "Wait until next year."
"Okay, then let's wait until next year." Ning Yanjing did not force Su Xueqing. It would indeed be better to wait until the two of them had their wedding banquet before visiting relatives.
"You go play tomorrow. I'll be at home. It's okay." Su Xueqing said, "Take advantage of this time to rest more."
The construction site did not stop working. In order to meet the deadline, workers had to work even during the Chinese New Year. The workers who did not go back were willing to stay and work because they could get more money.
In recent days, Su Xueqing had no plans to go to the construction site. When she was not needed to go up there, she stood somewhere else obediently and did not go over.
Ding Ming's wife gave birth to a big fat boy last September. This child was not Ding Ming's biological child, but his wife's child with another man.
Ding Ming also had to pretend to care about the child and be a good father. From the time the two got married and obtained their marriage certificate to the time Ding Ming's wife gave birth to the child, there were less than seven months in between. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the child was not Ding Ming's. Ding Ming could not say that the child was not his, he could only say that it was either alive or dead.
What this means is that Ding Ming and his wife got together very early after a blind date, but they just didn’t get married.
Ding Ming didn't want others to know that he married a woman who was pregnant with another man's child. He felt bad when he saw his wife treating the child so well. According to the family planning regulations, the two of them could not have more children. Ding Ming and his current wife never slept in the same room, but in different rooms.
Before the Chinese New Year, Ding Ming sent money to Sun Cuihua in the countryside. Only the child born by Sun Cuihua was his child, and the child born by his current wife was not his child. Ding Ming sent money to Sun Cuihua, and his current wife knew it very well. She did not stop him. In her opinion, Ding Ming could send money secretly, but he could not let everyone know. Of course, Ding Ming could not send all the money back. Ding Ming's current wife could not give Ding Ming too much money, and Ding Ming had to give some living expenses.
"You are a father, you have to care more about your children." Ding Ming's current wife often says this to him. Ding Ming can only nod and say that he will be a good father.
Xu Ruyun and her group arrived at Yu Li's home, and the Yu family arranged for them to stay in a hotel in the town. The Yu family held a banquet in a restaurant in the town, with more than a dozen tables, and it was very lively.
Some people said that Yu Li married a good family, so she could stay in Nancheng and have a Nancheng hukou. Others said that in order to stay in Nancheng, Yu Li just found someone with a Nancheng hukou to marry.
"Her husband didn't even graduate from junior high school. It's such a pity for a college student like her to marry such a man."
"What a pity! That man is from South City after all, and I heard he even bought a house for his wedding."
"Their family looks OK, they are quite wealthy, not bad."
…
Some say it's good, some say it's not good.
Xu Ruyun heard a few words, but she didn't quite understand what they said, because they were speaking the local dialect. Xu Ruyun knew that it was impossible for all of them to say nice things, so she didn't understand, so she just pretended she didn't hear anything. Anyway, the Xu family came to attend Yu Li and Xu Erge's wedding, and they rarely came again.
The Yu family didn't pay attention to what the guests were saying. There were too many guests and it was impossible for them to keep an eye on what everyone was saying. When they learned that some relatives had said something unpleasant, they could only think that it was fortunate that the Xu family didn't understand the local dialect.
Some people asked Xu Ruyun if she had a boyfriend, Xu Ruyun smiled and did not answer these people. Some people said they could introduce a boyfriend to Xu Ruyun, but Xu Ruyun said no.
Yu's mother asked someone to help keep an eye on them, so that those people wouldn't say anything they shouldn't to the Xu family, so as not to bring shame to the Yu family. Later, Yu Li married to the South City, and she seldom came back, so as not to make the Xu family laugh at her, and not to let the Xu family look down on her.
"Your daughter lives in South City. We will have a place to live in South City when we go there in the future." Someone also said this to Yu's mother.
"Okay, go to South City and find her." Yu's mother said with a smile. She couldn't say no. Everyone was just talking and they might not go.
After the wedding banquet, Xu's mother and others went back to the hotel. Xu's mother felt that hotels in rural areas were just hotels in rural areas after all, and they could not compare with those in the city.
"South City is still better." Xu's mother sighed, "This place is too bad. The bedside table is so dirty. I don't know how long it has been since it was cleaned. When I came, I wiped it several times, but there was still a thick layer of dirt. I changed the room and it was still the same. It's not good."
