Chapter 99 How could stealing be like this?
“What’s going on?” Mother Su saw the broom in Amelia Su’s hand.
“She stole money!” Amelia Su said.
"No, I didn't." Wei Shanshan's eyes were red.
“I’ve found it all, and you still say you don’t have it.” Amelia Su slapped the money directly on the table, “I was saying that the money at home is often missing, and you took it away.”
"No, no, this is the New Year's money and pocket money my aunt and others gave me, and also the money my father gave me. I didn't spend it and saved it." Wei Shanshan didn't know why her mother insisted that she stole the money when she lost it. Even though the amounts didn't match, her mother still said that, which made Wei Shanshan very sad.
All the money was put into a small bag by Wei Shanshan, which was bought by Su Xueqing. Wei Shanshan took the bag and put the money inside. When she went out, she didn't dare to take all the money out.
“Can they give you so much money?” Amelia Su said.
"My aunt gave me two yuan red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, and she also gave me one yuan red envelopes before that. When she saw me, she sometimes gave me ten or twenty cents to buy food." Wei Shanshan said, "My aunt bought me stationery and notebooks, and hairbands, so I didn't have to buy them myself. I didn't use the money to buy popsicles, I hid it all."
“Didn’t I take your New Year’s money?” Amelia Su frowned.
"My aunt gave me more!" said Wei Shanshan.
“…” Amelia Su looked at Wei Shanshan in disbelief.
"Mom, if you don't believe me, you can ask my aunt." Wei Shanshan said, "My second aunt also gave me some hair flowers."
Some of Tian Caixia's things were a little old, and Su Yanan saw that they were still usable, so she simply gave them to Wei Shanshan.
"Your second aunt really doesn't have that much money to give you, but your youngest aunt does." Mother Su believed what Wei Shanshan said. When Wei Shanshan was at home, she was very well-behaved and knew how to help with things. Wei Shanshan had never stolen anything from home. "That money..."
"I took the money." Wei Dashan came over.
Wei Dashan thought that he only took a little bit and Amelia Su wouldn't feel anything, but who knew that Amelia Su would actually think that Wei Shanshan had stolen the money.
"My mother is sick." Wei Dashan told Amelia Su, but Amelia Su was unwilling to give more money. Wei Dashan had no choice but to take out the money himself. If it was not enough, he would take some from Amelia Su's pocket.
“You…” Amelia Su didn’t expect things to turn out like this, “You really took it, it wasn’t for Wei Shanshan, you…”
"It was really me who took it, not Shanshan." Wei Dashan said with certainty, "My mother is sick, I can't just ignore her."
Wei Dashan asked Amelia Su for money. Amelia Su said that the Wei family did not help her when she gave birth to Wei Shanshan, which meant that the Wei family was not good enough. Even though the Wei family lent them money to buy a house later, Amelia Su felt that it was what the Wei family should do. Wei Dashan is the son of the Wei family, and the Wei family should help Wei Dashan more. When Wei's mother was sick, Wei Dashan should not be asked to pay more money, and Wei Dashan's other brothers should also pay money.
Because Amelia Su gritted her teeth and refused to give it, Wei Dashan had no choice.
When Mother Su heard what Wei Dashan said, she felt that Amelia Su was too absurd. When the elderly at home are sick, they should at least give some money.
"That money wasn't mine." Wei Shanshan said, and she was about to collect the money on the table. It was all her money.
When Amelia Su saw this, she went to collect the money, but was stopped by Su's mother.
"That's Shanshan's money, not yours," said Su's mother.
“I gave birth to her and raised her, so isn’t the money mine?” Amelia Su said, “If it weren’t for me, would you be able to give her money?”
"I'm going to be in the fifth grade, and next year I'll be in the sixth grade." Wei Shanshan said, "I'll be living in the school soon..."
Wei Shanshan's tone was a little sad. She was preparing for living in the school when the time came. When Wei Shanshan lived in Su's house, Amelia Su didn't care about her much. When Wei Shanshan lived with Amelia Su, Amelia Su didn't care whether Wei Shanshan's schoolbag was broken or her clothes were short. Amelia Su only cared about her youngest son.
Therefore, Wei Shanshan had to plan for herself. She saved money and was determined to finish junior high school. Wei Shanshan knew that her grades were not very good, but after finishing junior high school, she still had a little hope of being admitted to high school. As long as she was admitted to high school, she could still go to college if she worked a little harder.
Wei Shanshan doesn't want to live under her mother's shadow all her life. She wants to work harder and make money on her own. But she is still too young and there are still many things she can't do.
Amelia Su looked at Wei Shanshan protecting the money so much, and saw that Su's mother and the others had no intention of helping her.
“Why does she take so much money by herself?” Amelia Su said, “I’m her mother, I help her…”
"You will give it to your brother." Wei Shanshan said. If you give it to your brother, you will never give it to her.
“You…as a sister, why are you so stingy?” Amelia Su said.
"Okay, don't talk about Shanshan anymore." Su's mother said, "The truth of the matter has been clarified. This money belongs to Shanshan. It belongs to Shanshan. Shanshan, leave it with grandma first. Grandma will save it for you. In the future, if you want to save money, you can leave it with grandma. Grandma will help you remember it and not make mistakes."
"Thank you, grandma." Wei Shanshan quickly handed the money to Su's mother, "Sixteen dollars and eighty-eight cents."
Wei Shanshan spent some money, otherwise, she could have spent more. Wei Shanshan remembered how much money she had left. Every time she spent money, she wondered whether she should spend that money or not. The weather was hot, and Wei Shanshan was reluctant to buy an ice lolly.
"Okay, grandma will keep it for you." Su's mother said, "I'll open a bank account for you, and you can earn some interest."
"Mom, don't bother me. I..."
"What?" Su's mother said, "You blame Shanshan without knowing the truth and you even want to hit her. Shanshan is not a child anymore. Before you hit her, can you find out what's going on?"
Mother Su couldn’t stand Amelia Su’s attitude, and she beat the child in the middle of the night.
"You two should talk it out properly," said Su's mother. "Dashan, your mother is sick, so you should give her money. Tell Yamei how much money you gave her. You treated Shanshan badly in this matter. Shanshan is your biological daughter, not a daughter you picked up from the street. Don't always treat Shanshan like this. Shanshan is your daughter, not a thief."
"Yes, yes." Wei Dashan said quickly.
Su Yamei glared at Wei Dashan fiercely. When Wei Shanshan was at home, Su Yamei didn't believe it and wanted to beat Wei Shanshan. Su Yamei thought that she didn't manage Wei Shanshan well, which made Wei Shanshan a thief. If she didn't beat Wei Shanshan a few more times, Wei Shanshan would only steal more in the future.
But now, with the facts in front of her, Amelia Su couldn't say anything about Wei Shanshan anymore, so she could only say Wei Dashan.
“You told me to take more money, what would I do to you?” Amelia Su glanced at Wei Shanshan again, “Go back to sleep.”
Amelia Su glanced at the money in Su's mother's hand. She had no way to take the money. Amelia Su was thinking that Su Xueqing was really generous to Wei Shanshan. Su Xueqing gave Wei Shanshan a lot of money privately. Don't underestimate the one or two cents each time. With more times, plus the money given during festivals, Wei Shanshan didn't spend much of the money, so she saved a lot.
In addition to what Su Xueqing gave, there were also some given by Su's father, Su's mother and others, and Su Sange also gave Wei Shanshan some pocket money. Su Sange and his wife saw that Wei Shanshan was ignored. Wei Shanshan didn't get much attention even when she lived with Su Yamei. Su San's wife saw that Su Sange gave Wei Shanshan pocket money, but Su San's wife didn't say that Su Sange shouldn't do that.
Amelia Su, as a mother, is always like that, and she doesn’t know how to be nice to her daughter.
Wei Shanshan finally followed Amelia Su back. She had to go back to sleep. There was no extra place for her to sleep in the Su family.
While walking on the road, Amelia Su reached out and poked Wei Shanshan’s head, “You are really good at hiding.”
Before, Amelia Su didn't know that Wei Shanshan hid the money. She didn't help Wei Shanshan clean up the room. Wei Shanshan cleaned it by herself. When Wei Shanshan's room was a little dirty, Amelia Su would ask Wei Shanshan to clean it. Wei Shanshan put the money in her bag, which was in the cabinet. It was not a place that Amelia Su couldn't reach. It was because Amelia Su didn't help Wei Shanshan clean up the room that she couldn't see it.
Wei Shanshan is a little older, but it is not normal for Su Yamei, as a mother, to have never cleaned her daughter's room once.
"They were all given by my aunt and uncle." Wei Shanshan said.
"If it weren't for you being my daughter, would they give you these money and things?" Amelia Su said, "Wei Shanshan, you have to remember that you can only get those things because of me. Don't act like you got them by yourself. Also, Wei Dashan, do you think my brain is muddy? You took so much money, and I don't know it?"
The accumulated money was a lot, more than ten or twenty yuan, and Amelia Su thought that even if her eyesight was not good, she should have discovered it.
"You don't need to give too much in the future." Wei Dashan said, "It's because Mom is sick that I have to give more."
"You said that in front of my mother, making me look like I'm not filial to her." Amelia Su said, "Mom's eyes are not right when she looks at me."
“……”Wei Dashan lowered his head slightly and said nothing more.
Things have already happened, and Wei Dashan can only let Amelia Su scold him.
Since it was summer vacation and the children were on vacation, Su Yanan knew about the affair between Su Yamei and Wei Shanshan, and Su Yanan wanted Wei Shanshan to stay with her for two days, and Wei Shanshan and Tian Caixia would live in the same room.
Su Yanan told Su's mother first, "She is about the same age as Caixia, so it's appropriate for them to sleep together for a few days."
"Don't you know what kind of personality your Caixia has?" said Su's mother.
Tian Caixia is quite willful, and being spoiled is different. Is Tian Caixia willing to sleep in the same room with others and share her bed?
On such a hot day, Tian Caixia would definitely prefer to sleep alone rather than have someone else sleep with her.
"You have many children." Su's mother said, "It's not good for Shanshan to go to your place. Your mother-in-law has to go there sometimes."
"What a shame, elder sister! She beats the child without even asking for details." Su Yanan said.
"You know your eldest sister's temper very well." Mother Su said, "She is just like that. No one can help her."
"Is Shanshan okay now?" Su Yanan also has a daughter. She doesn't like others treating her daughter badly. Her daughter has not offended anyone, so why should she be treated unfairly just because she is a daughter?
"It's okay." Su's mother said, "I went to take a look. This time it was Yamei's fault."
After Su Yanan left the Su family, she went to Su Xueqing again. Su Yanan did not ask Su Xueqing to take Wei Shanshan over, but asked Su Xueqing not to give Wei Shanshan too much money.
"Eldest sister knows that you gave money to Shanshan, so she will definitely not give more money to Shanshan in the future." Su Yanan said, "She might even want to take money from Shanshan."
"We didn't give Shanshan much money." Su Xueqing said, "Shanshan has been in South City for five years. Over the years, she has indeed been able to save some money."
"That's right." Su Yanan nodded. "Shanshan's personality... Well, she said she was saving money for living on campus in the future. I guess she was afraid that her mother wouldn't give her money. Now, the money is in mom's hands. It's good that mom is here. Mom will ask my eldest sister to give Shanshan living expenses."
"If my elder sister and her husband really want my mother to watch them give Shanshan living expenses, then it's really wrong." Su Xueqing sighed, "Why did my elder sister think of Shanshan first to steal her money? Can Shanshan just enter her room?"
"How could that be possible?" Su Yanan said, "If my eldest sister is not at home, she always locks the door. She said that she was afraid that Shanshan would not lock the door when she went out, and that a thief would enter her room. She is so cautious, how could Shanshan enter her room. That's it, she also said that Shanshan stole the money, so Shanshan hid at her parents' house in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the truth came out. It was because my eldest sister's mother-in-law was sick, and my eldest sister was unwilling to give the money, so my eldest brother-in-law took it secretly."
“This…” Su Xueqing was silent for a while, “Have they paid off the money for buying the house?”
"I guess the money from the Wei family has almost been paid off." Su Yanan said, "Eldest sister's breakfast shop is doing well, and the others may not have paid off their debts yet."
"Why did the Wei family lend them money to buy a house?" Su Xueqing said.
"It might be because of the loan." Su Yanan said, "Eldest sister thinks that the money has been repaid, and it is a lot of money. She thinks it is impossible for the Wei family to spend the money so quickly."
"That money may not be the Wei family's own, it may have been borrowed." Su Xueqing said, "Country people work in the fields all year round, how can they save so much money?"
It’s not that Su Xueqing looked down on the country people, but the country people at that time were indeed suffering.
"Being ill costs a lot of money, and my brother-in-law is my biological son after all. It's not right for him not to pay a penny." Su Xueqing said.
"At the beginning, they sold the house to my eldest brother-in-law's brother." Su Yanan said, "They received some money. My eldest sister felt that they sold the house at a low price and suffered a loss."
"What's so bad about it? It's a country house." Su Xueqing said, "They don't live in it. A country house without anyone living in it will easily deteriorate. If they sell the house, they can at least make some money. How much can a country house sell for? Others are not stupid, and it is impossible for them to buy an old house at a high price."
"Big sister doesn't think so." Su Yanan said, "She just feels that she has suffered a loss. Big sister also feels that it is because of her that big brother-in-law and Shanshan can come to the city, and she has made great sacrifices for big brother-in-law. Others abandoned their husbands and daughters and went back to the city directly, but big sister didn't. Big sister is still with big brother-in-law. The money for buying a house was also earned by big sister and big brother-in-law together. Big sister feels that she has worked hard, and she is unwilling to give more money to her mother-in-law."
"This is a private matter between my eldest sister and her husband." Su Xueqing said, "Maybe my eldest sister has some conflicts with her husband's family that we don't know about."
Amelia Su didn't know what happened between Amelia Su and the Wei family. If she said too much, it would seem like she didn't care about her elder sister and blamed her elder sister whenever something happened. Amelia Su's relationship with Amelia Su was not very good, so she didn't need to persuade Amelia Su how to do it.
"I told my mom to let Shanshan stay at my house for a few days, but she said forget it. Caixia has a bad temper, and my mother-in-law comes over from time to time." Su Yanan said, "Actually, it's okay for her to stay for a few days. My mother-in-law won't say much."
"You can let Shanshan live in your house for a few days, but she can't live there forever." Su Xueqing said, "Some things still depend on the eldest sister herself. Shanshan can't always count on others to help her, she has to count on herself."
"I just can't stand seeing my elder sister like that." Su Yanan said, "We all have daughters, and daughters are also a piece of flesh that fell from our bodies. What on earth did my elder sister encounter in the countryside? Why did she become like this?"
"My eldest sister..." Su Xueqing paused, "The preference for boys over girls is even more serious in the countryside. My parents gave birth to three daughters and one son, and it was my eldest sister who went to the countryside as an educated youth... All these reasons combined, my eldest sister became like this."
"Is the countryside so scary?" Su Yanan said.
"The countryside at that time might really be so terrible, especially in some remote and poor places." Su Xueqing said, "When people went to the countryside as educated youth, they basically went to poor rural areas. There was no chance for me to go to a slightly better place."
"Oh, forget it." Su Yanan said, "Indeed, it still depends on the elder sister and the others. We can't control so much."
"Stay here for lunch." Su Xueqing said.
"No, no, I have to go back to see the children." Su Yanan said.
"I made some small cakes at home, you can take some back." Su Xueqing said.
"Did you make it?" Su Yanan remembered that Su Xueqing had once learned baking.
"It's not me." Su Xueqing said, "My cooking is not that delicious. The chef at home made it."
"That's right." Su Yanan said, "You don't have to do it yourself."
Su Xueqing asked Aunt Li to pack some small cakes for Su Yanan, so that Su Yanan could take them back home for the children. Xiao Wenjun was playing with Ning Yuhao in the toy room, and someone was taking care of them. After Su Yanan left, Su Xueqing went to the toy room to see the children.
Apart from her normal working hours, Su Xueqing rarely works overtime.
The two children were playing with dolls over there. The dolls had to read, sleep and eat. Ning Yuhao was older, so he could also play happily with Xiao Wenjun. Ning Yuhao knew how to let Xiao Wenjun do what she wanted. If Xiao Wenjun said that this was not allowed, Ning Yuhao would immediately agree.
If Su Xueqing saw this, she would talk to Xiao Wenjun and tell her that she should not be mean to her brother, because he is her brother and she should not always give in to her sister.
"Look at you guys, you're sweating from playing." Su Xueqing said.
"I'm happy." Xiao Wenjun was holding a small doll in her hand, "Mom, the little rabbit ate the cake, it will grow taller."
Su Xueqing glanced at the small cake placed on the ground and said, "If the little rabbit eats it, you can't eat it. You have to eat something else. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, it's for the little rabbit to eat." Xiao Wenjun said.
"Aunt, I'm watching. I'll eat it myself, but you can't let her eat it. It's unhygienic." Ning Yuhao said.
"You can't eat it either." Su Xueqing said, "She has been holding it in her hands for so long, you can't eat it, you have to eat it all."
"Okay, little aunt." Ning Yuhao nodded vigorously.
"Don't let the little rabbit eat one bite, and you eat one bite, this is not okay." Su Xueqing said, "You can't eat food that has been dirty after playing."
"Mom, I'm not dirty." Xiao Wenjun emphasized.
"Okay, you're not dirty." Su Xueqing took a handkerchief and wiped her daughter's hands. There were cake crumbs on her daughter's hands. Fortunately, there was no cream in these cakes. If there was cream, it would be everywhere.
"Brother, it's not dirty." Xiao Wenjun said.
"It's not dirty, it's not dirty." Su Xueqing said, "It's time to eat soon, get up and wash your hands before eating. After eating, rest for a while, and then take a nap."
"Brother, you have to sleep too." Xiao Wenjun said, "If brother doesn't sleep, I won't sleep either."
Xiao Wenjun's eyes rolled around, she just wanted to play.
As soon as Su Xueqing saw her daughter's expression, she knew what she was thinking.
"They all took a nap." Su Xueqing said, "They took a nap and felt energetic. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask your brother?"
"Brother." Xiao Wenjun tilted her head.
"I need to sleep." Ning Yuhao said, "If I don't take a nap and get enough rest, my mother won't let me come."
"Wow." Xiao Wenjun exclaimed, "My brother's mother is not here."
Su Xueqing doesn't like to talk about her daughter anymore. She is so smart and clever at such a young age. Can a child be so smart?
"You need to get enough rest even when mom is not around." Ning Yuhao understood what Xiao Wenjun meant, but as a brother, he couldn't lead his sister astray. "You need to grow taller. If you don't grow taller, you won't be able to play with many things."
"Sleep." Xiao Wenjun gently patted Ning Yuhao's arm, "Grow taller, grow taller, taller than Tutu."
"We are already taller than the rabbits." Ning Yuhao said, "We are taller than the pandas. The pandas, the black and white bears, are really big. Very big."
"We are big too." Xiao Wenjun said, "Brother, eat."
Su Xueqing took the two children to wash their hands and eat. Ning Yanjing came back from outside. He brought back some food and toys.
"Are you going to the mall?" Su Xueqing asked.
"No." Ning Yanjing said, "It's just a roadside store near us. I happened to pass by and saw the toys, so I bought some. There are all kinds of toys now, and there are many more styles than when we were kids."
"Of course." Su Xueqing said, "When we were young, it was very different from now. There are many more things now, and there will be more in the future."
"Indeed, there will be more." Ning Yanjing said.
"Okay, wash your hands and eat." Su Xueqing said.
After the two children finished their meal, they played on the mat for a while and then fell asleep on it. The mat was clean and separated from the floor, so it was okay to sleep like this. The two of them slept in a messy manner, with their legs split.
Su Xueqing covered the two children's bellies with small blankets, and she had to cover their belly buttons. Su Xueqing was worried that the two children would catch a cold. Even though the weather was hot, she still had to be careful because children were not as strong as adults.
"Falling asleep already?" Ning Yanjing asked in a low voice.
"They fell asleep." Su Xueqing said, "Let them sleep."
Su Xueqing left the room. All children are like this. When they are tired of playing, they just fall asleep.
"With Yuhao and Xiao Wenjun playing with us, we can all feel a lot more relaxed," Su Xueqing said.
"We feel relaxed, and my sister-in-law feels relaxed too." Ning Yanjing said.
Sister-in-law Ning always said that Ning Yuhao was a devil and that he was too naughty at home. Ning Yuhao behaved much better at Su Xueqing's house, so Sister-in-law Ning didn't have to worry about too many problems. Su Xueqing always took good care of Ning Yuhao, and Ning Yuhao didn't skip meals, so everything was fine.
It’s not that there are no other children who want to play with Ning Yuhao. Ning Yuhao just likes to play with his brother and his sister. Other children are not that important.
"Children need to be kept under close watch," Su Xueqing said. "Parents are always worried about their children. If they don't keep a close eye on them, they'll always worry that something bad will happen to them."
When Su Xueqing was at work, she would also think about her daughter, and then think about how her daughter was at home, whether her daughter was doing well, and whether her daughter cried. After returning home from work, Su Xueqing's first thought was to see her daughter. She was very happy to see that her daughter was fine. Her daughter staggered towards her, and her heart melted.
Not long after Xu Ruyun finished her confinement, she went back to work. Xu Ruyun brought her daughter to work. Their factory encourages employees to bring their children to the factory, and there are special people to take care of the children. Their factory itself produces things for women, and the employees are both male and female. They are doing business for women, so they cannot discriminate against women. Many women have to take care of children, which makes it inconvenient for them to work. The factory has special people to take care of children, so female employees can do things more easily.
Xu Ruyun didn't take such a young child with her every day, and she herself wasn't in the factory office every day. The child would cry and inevitably affect other people's work, and it was not easy to ask others to help take care of such a young child.
Xu's mother came to Xu Ruyun and learned that her daughter had taken the child to the factory several times. She couldn't stand it anymore.
"Haven't you already hired someone to take care of the child? Why did you still bring the child to the factory?" asked Xu's mother.
"Isn't this just worrying?" Xu Ruyun said.
"Are you worried that your mother-in-law will come quietly and take the child away?" asked Xu's mother.
"No, she can't take the child away. She is a girl, not a boy." Xu Ruyun said, "If it was a boy, my mother-in-law would definitely take him away."
Xu Ruyun was glad that her second child was a daughter. If she had given birth to a son, her mother-in-law would have taken the child away, which would have been the same as not having given birth to a child. Xu Ruyun did not trust Yan's mother. Yan's mother always thought about the former glory of the Yan family and did not have a clear understanding of the current situation. When others did not attend the child's full-month banquet, Yan's mother thought it was their fault, that they had accepted the invitation but did not go.
If others do not accept the invitation, Yan's mother will say that they are not giving face to the Yan family.
"I just want to spend more time with my child," Xu Ruyun said. "Seeing my daughter can give me more inspiration."
When Xu Ruyun sees her daughter in this life, she often thinks of her daughter in her previous life. She knows clearly in her heart that the two daughters are not the same person. Xu Ruyun still thinks about it. It is impossible that she does not miss her child in her previous life at all. It is just that rebirth makes Xu Ruyun understand what she wants better, and she knows how to give up.
Others said that Xu Ruyun was too hard-working and had to go back to work with her child so soon. Some people also said that Xu Ruyun was just pretending. Xu Ruyun didn't care what those people said. What she knew was that even if she didn't own a lot of shares in the factory, she had to do things and find ways to own more.
Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen are married. If Yan Yichen doesn’t give Xu Ruyun the shares in the factory, he will give them to their children.
Ning Jiaxuan went on a blind date, and she met that university teacher, Lou Mian. Lou Mian looked OK, and he was not a teacher at Nancheng University, but at Nancheng University of Science and Technology. Lou Mian was not a businessman, but his brother was a businessman, and he had some shares, and he got some money every year, and with his own salary, he could make ends meet.
If it was before Ning Jiaxuan went abroad, Ning Jiaxuan might have felt that Lou Mian was not suitable for her. After going abroad, she saw all kinds of absurd things and she felt that Lou Mian was not bad. Ning Jiaxuan likes to play a little, but she knows her limits.
Ning Jiaxuan was thinking that Lou Mian was a university teacher, and a mathematics teacher at that. When they had a child, she wouldn't have to worry about the child's education, and could let Lou Mian educate the child. Ning Jiaxuan and Lou Mian's relationship was settled. The two knew each other, and when they met, they both felt that they were suitable for each other, so they decided to be together.
When Su Xueqing heard that Ning Jiaxuan decided to be together so easily, she was a little surprised.
"Mom, mom." Little Wenjun said in a baby voice, "Mom, do you want some eggs?"
Xiao Wenjun held a boiled egg in her hand and handed it to Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing peeled the egg for her daughter first, took out the egg yolk, and gave the egg white to her daughter. Her daughter liked to eat the egg white but not the yolk. The egg yolk tasted dry and her daughter didn't like it, so Su Xueqing didn't let her daughter eat it to avoid choking.
"Auntie, eat it." Xiao Wenjun wanted to give the egg yolk to Ning Jiaxuan.
"..." Ning Jiaxuan was speechless when she saw the egg yolk. She didn't like eating egg yolk.
"Auntie, eat." Xiao Wenjun said again.
"Put it aside." Su Xueqing said, "Go play with your toys. It's hot, don't run to the yard."
Su Xueqing instructed the servants to keep an eye on Xiao Wenjun and not to let her run into the yard or think about playing in the water.
Xiao Wenjun was taken away, and Su Xueqing looked at Ning Jiaxuan.
"Little Junjun even knows how to let me eat instead of letting you eat." Ning Jiaxuan said with a smile, "Has she always been like this?"
"It's like this." Su Xueqing said, "She doesn't like to eat it, but she lets her father eat it."
"So smart." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Are you determined to go on this blind date? You don't plan to go on blind dates with anyone else?" Su Xueqing asked.
"The Lou family is quite simple," Ning Jiaxuan said. "Lou Mian's parents and brothers are all well-educated. His brother is in business and he has shares. Plus, his parents have some antiques and calligraphy and paintings that are worth a lot of money. If I stay with him, my life won't be too difficult."
"Just make your own plan." Su Xueqing said, "Their family is more noble, his brother is richer, and he may not have that much money."
"That's enough." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Isn't it okay if I buy fewer bags? Besides, he still has some money, so it's okay for me to buy bags and clothes for him. He's just a little dull, but that's okay. He's a math teacher, and his mind is full of numbers, so there's no problem with that."
Ning Jiaxuan thought about it and found that Lou Mian's conditions in all aspects were quite good, and the Lou family also had certain capabilities in the education field. If they wanted to arrange a marriage, Lou Mian would be a very suitable candidate.
"Being with others may not necessarily be good." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I can still say a few more words to Lou Mian."
"Just think about it yourself." Su Xueqing said.
"Many people's marriages don't have deep love." Ning Jiaxuan said, "People like me and Lou Mian have seen many people and many things, so it's better to be together simply. Regardless of how much money Lou Mian has, when I get married, my parents will prepare a dowry for me, so I don't have to rely too much on Lou Mian's property."
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded, "I really don't know what to say about marriage. I don't know much."
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing had been together for a long time and got married early. But the two were not in a business marriage, and there were many situations that did not apply to Ning Jiaxuan.
Ning Jiaxuan looked more lively. Su Xueqing thought that Ning Jiaxuan was looking for a man from a very wealthy family who was good at business. She didn't expect that Ning Jiaxuan was looking for a university teacher. On the surface, the two people's personalities didn't seem to match well.
"He and I are a good match." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If we are together with him, I think the child we have will not be too bad."
"It must be good." Su Xueqing said.
"Don't worry, I was forced. No one can force me." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Although it was others who told my sister-in-law about Lou Mian, but Lou Mian is indeed okay. Lou Mian is much better than many people, better than those who don't know how to do things and only know how to rely on their family."
Ning Jiaxuan knew her future path. If she really married a businessman who was in charge of the family, she was afraid that the man would have affairs outside and have other women outside. It was not that Ning Jiaxuan believed that Lou Mian would not find other women. University teachers could directly find female college students, which was very convenient. Ning Jiaxuan just felt that if she married Lou Mian, it would be easy to divorce if something happened in the future. If she found someone who was not easy to divorce, it would be good if they could separate at that time. It would be better not to find one.
Although Ning Jiaxuan never thought that she would have a perfect marriage, she hoped that this marriage was one that she could control.
"Forget about those ugly people." Ning Jiaxuan said, "After all, he comes from a family of scholars. His eldest brother is a businessman, and his father is a university professor."
"That's really good." Su Xueqing nodded.
Ning Jiaxuan didn't intend to put herself in a difficult position. She would only continue if she felt it was appropriate. If it wasn't appropriate, she wouldn't force herself.
More than half a month later, Ning Jiaxuan was getting engaged to Lou Mian.
The Ning family sent an invitation to the Yan family for the engagement party, and they also invited the Ning family to their child’s full-month party. Old Mrs. Yan was still alive, so naturally the Ning family had to give the Yan family some face.
When Yan's mother learned that Ning Jiaxuan was going to get engaged, her eyes widened.
"Her? Is there anyone who wants her?" Yan's mother said at home.
"Why doesn't anyone want her?" Old Lady Yan said, "She is very popular. There are many people who want to marry her."
"She's a woman whose marriage was broken off!" Yan's mother said. She always felt that a woman whose marriage was broken off would have a bad reputation, and a slightly better family should not marry a woman whose marriage was broken off. Yan's mother thought that she had ruined Ning Jiaxuan, but how could this be possible? Everyone knew what kind of person Yan's mother was, and they all felt that the Ning family gave too much face to the Yan family, allowing Yan's mother to be too unscrupulous.
But Yan's mother is often crazy, and if others argue with her, they may not be able to gain any advantage, and they may also be told: She is so crazy, why bother to argue with her.
"It's our family's fault, not hers." Old Madam Yan said, "Don't say bad things about others all the time. Do you think your son is a good person?"
At first, after Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen broke off their engagement, Yan's mother looked for a suitable blind date for her son, but those people ignored her. Yan's mother finally found a suitable one, but after the person came to her house, she felt that he was not suitable.
Yan's mother has no self-awareness at all. She still thinks that Ning Jiaxuan is the one who should be unwanted.
What era is it now? If a woman’s engagement is broken off, her life is not ruined. She still has other choices.
"Okay, put away your thoughts." Old Madam Yan said, "Don't go to the engagement party."
"They even have the nerve to send us wedding invitations. Mom, are they deliberately embarrassing us?" Yan's mother asked.
"..." Old Madam Yan's face was not looking good. "According to what you said, why did you invite the Ning family to your grandson's full moon banquet? To embarrass them?"
The Yan family is allowed to send invitations to the Ning family, but the Ning family is not allowed to send invitations to the Yan family?
Old Madam Yan wanted to maintain her relationship with the Ning family. Yan Yichen would go there to give gifts during festivals. They should be happy when someone gave them invitations to their engagement party.
"Take good care of your precious grandson and don't run away." Old Lady Yan said, "Those things have nothing to do with you."
"Mom, I..."
"If you want your precious grandson to be well, control your mouth." Old Madam Yan said, "Don't be like before. You don't even know what the situation is at home."
Mother Yan wanted to say that she knew it all, that she knew it better than anyone else, but she was afraid of Old Lady Yan. When Old Lady Yan gave her a cold look, Mother Yan didn't dare to speak.
"Whether you are okay or not, think more about your precious grandson." said Old Mrs. Yan.
Old Lady Yan hoped that her great-grandson would grow up well. If he did not grow up well, Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen would definitely give birth to another son. Old Lady Yan did not need to ask Xu Ruyun, she knew all of Xu Ruyun's plans, which could be seen from the fact that Xu Ruyun got pregnant with her second child so quickly.
Xu Ruyun is smart, and Old Lady Yan thinks that it is good for Xu Ruyun to do this, so she doesn't need to say too much and give them more consideration. Old Lady Yan hopes that Xu Ruyun can help Yan Yichen, or at least not hold him back.
Xu Ruyun didn't expect Ning Jiaxuan to get engaged so soon. Ning Jiaxuan's engagement partner is not bad. Xu Ruyun thought about it and it made sense. Ning Jiaxuan's family background was there, so she could find a good partner no matter how she looked for one. There were many options to choose from. Xu Ruyun thought about herself again. She was the one who had no choice.
In the room, Xu Ruyun applied skin cream and asked Yan Yichen, "Are you going to attend Ning Jiaxuan's engagement party?"
