Chapter 73 Don't scare children
Wei Shanshan has always been very well-behaved. She never fights at school and just studies hard. When Wei Shanshan returns to the Su family, she will help with some things at home, such as sweeping the floor.
This time, Wei Shanshan got into a fight with someone, and Su's mother felt that there must be something wrong. When Su Yamei came over, she started to criticize Wei Shanshan.
"You are so brave that you dare to fight with others."
"Do you have any manners? You are a girl, but you hit others."
"Your father and I work so hard, but you only know how to get into trouble."
…
Then, Wei Shanshan said that the hair flower was given to her by her aunt.
"Yamei, Shanshan can't be blamed for this." Mother Su looked at the man who came to her house, "Our Shanshan did nothing wrong. Your child shouldn't have snatched our Shanshan's things. The Xu family next door is selling these things at the stall. If you really care about your granddaughter, you can go next door and buy them for your granddaughter, and don't let your granddaughter snatch other people's things."
"I'm just looking." The man's granddaughter didn't think she was robbing. "She has two, can she give me one?"
When the little girl's grandmother heard this, she slapped her granddaughter in the face, "Is that yours? Did you ask someone to give you one?"
The little girl's grandmother was very angry. She blamed her granddaughter for not explaining herself clearly, which caused her to come here and embarrass herself.
"They play together. Shanshan has two..."
"Pull both sides." Wei Shanshan said with courage. She didn't want to give the thing her aunt gave her to others.
"Yes, two small buns on both sides." Su's mother said, "You go buy two, and someone takes one from you, would you be willing? Our Shanshan has only been wearing her hair for a short time, it's still very new. You are taking our Shanshan's things for free, one or two candies would be fine, but why do you want to steal our Shanshan's hair?"
Amelia Su wanted to speak, but was glared at by Mother Su.
“Shanshan is right.” Amelia Su muttered.
The little girl's grandmother left with the child angrily and did not stay at the Su family. The little girl's grandmother did not go to the Xu family to buy a hair flower. She was reluctant to buy these things for her granddaughter, and these things could not be eaten. In the eyes of the little girl's grandmother, it was a waste of money.
“Yamei, can you ask clearly before you speak next time?” Mother Su looked at Amelia Su, “As soon as you came here, you directly said something wrong about Shanshan. Shanshan did nothing wrong, why do you say that about Shanshan, just because you are Shanshan’s biological mother? Tell me, after you returned to the city, when did you take care of Shanshan?”
"Mom, didn't I know the truth? I thought she was in trouble." Amelia Su said, "Her dad and I are so busy all day, how can we have time to take care of her. She is so old now, when I was her age, I could do a lot of things, and I didn't think about getting into trouble."
"If you want to talk about Shanshan, just talk about Shanshan. Don't let the teacher blame you." Su's mother said, "You only remember how hard you've been suffering, but don't remember how good your family has been to you? When you were a child, you wanted new clothes and a new skirt, and you made a fuss with your family. We gritted our teeth and made you a new skirt."
“Isn’t that because I’m older than my second sister?” Amelia Su said, “If I wear it, my second sister can still wear it.”
"You wore it. Your second sister can still wear it, but the family didn't have money at that time, so we still bought you some cloth to make a new dress, didn't we?" Su's mother said, "You only remember that the family asked you to work, and don't remember these things."
“Mom.” Amelia Su was not very happy.
"Your younger sister knows to buy a head flower for your daughter. What about you? Have you ever bought a head flower for your daughter?" Su's mother asked.
"When we were in the countryside, we bought her a hair tie." Amelia Su said, "Without a hair tie, how would she tie her hair?"
When Wei Shanshan heard what her mother said, she didn't say anything else, she lowered her head slightly. Wei Shanshan liked her aunt very much, her aunt would bring her food, buy her a hair flower, and her aunt would do many things that her mother couldn't.
Ever since her mother had her younger brother, Wei Shanshan felt that she was increasingly unable to get love from her biological mother, who always ignored her.
"Okay, it's okay." Amelia Su said, "I have other things to do and don't have so much time to take care of her affairs. Shanshan is here, mom, you should take care of her. Shanshan, you have to listen to your grandma and don't get into trouble, okay? If you get into trouble, be careful that I will beat you."
"Don't scare the child. Shanshan is already well-behaved enough." Su's mother said, "Don't let Shanshan be too well-behaved. Children who are too well-behaved are easy to be bullied."
"Then she can fight back." Amelia Su said, "I didn't say she can't fight back. If someone bullies her, it's fine for her to fight back. She can't wait for an adult like me to help her fight back."
"Go and do your own thing." Su's mother waved her hand.
“Forget it, I’m leaving.” Amelia Su glanced at Wei Shanshan again when she left. Wei Shanshan hid behind Su’s mother, “Go, you only know how to hide behind your grandma.”
After Amelia Su left, Wei Shanshan came out from behind Su's mother.
"Your mother is like that." Su's mother said, "Don't bother with your mother."
Wei Shanshan didn't say anything. She was just a little child, how could she argue with her mother? She just looked at the flower in her hand.
"Grandma will tie your hair again." said Su's mother.
Wei Shanshan sat on a small stool while Su's mother combed her hair.
"When your hair ornament is worn out, grandma will buy you another one." Su's mother said, "Your aunt knows how to give gifts. You have one, and Caixia has one too."
Wei Shanshan knew that Tian Caixia had one too, but it was still different. Tian Caixia's mother would buy her a hair flower, but Wei Shanshan thought her mother would never buy her a hair flower, and some of her things were bought by her aunt. Her aunt said that her grandmother was old, so she came to buy some.
No matter why her aunt bought them for her, Wei Shanshan got those things. She was very grateful to her aunt. She wished so much that her aunt was her real mother.
Su Xueqing didn't know what happened in the Su family. She just did what she wanted and bought some things when she thought of them.
In the evening, Mrs. Ning told Mr. Ning that Yan Yichen was coming, and also said that Ning Jiaxuan didn't like Yan Yichen.
"If you don't like it, then cancel the engagement." Brother Ning said.
"That's what I said." Sister Ning said, "Jiaxuan said there's no rush and it's okay to wait for a while. You just came back, there's no rush."
"If you don't like each other, but still maintain the engagement, it will only waste time for both of you," said Brother Ning.
"I think Yan Yichen is very young and smart." Mrs. Ning said, "He doesn't care about Jiaxuan's attitude at all. He is thinking about our family's connections. He came to our house to see you and talk to you about the policies of the development zone."
"If you want to know, I can tell him that those policies are public. They apply to him in the same way to others." Brother Ning said, "It doesn't mean that there are any special benefits for him."
"Jiaxuan said it before I even said it," said Mrs. Ning, "The Yan family is not very good. Even if they can get up, Yan Yichen's mother is not someone who can be dealt with easily. Everyone says his mother is crazy, but I heard that his mother can walk normally and recognize those people. When she goes out, she is still very polite to some people."
This shows that Yan's mother might be targeting the Ning family, or perhaps Yan's mother is also targeting some other families, but the people who are targeted are ultimately a minority.
"Jiaxuan really can't marry into the Yan family." Sister Ning said, "My parents helped them because of the friendship between the two families. As for their family... Well, after I came back, I asked around and found out what the situation was. Jiaxuan said she wanted to wait until her best friend's wedding banquet was over."
"Good friends?" Brother Ning was puzzled.
"Her younger sister-in-law." Sister Ning said with a smile, "They are classmates, friends, and sisters-in-law. Jiaxuan likes my younger sister-in-law very much, and they have a very good relationship. I have never seen her get along so well with someone."
"Yan Jing has good judgment." Brother Ning said. He didn't trust his sister's judgment, but his brother's. "Since she wants to wait, then let's wait a little longer."
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing's wedding banquet is indeed approaching, and it is not a good idea to mess up those things at this time and make things look bad. Brother Ning also thought that Ning Jiaxuan was already grown up, and it was time for Ning Jiaxuan to handle some things herself, instead of always having them help her deal with them. Ning Jiaxuan also had to learn to grow up.
It was a new day. After Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing finished their breakfast together, Ning's mother and the people who delivered the wedding dress came to their house. They brought all the clothes and asked Su Xueqing to try them one by one.
Not only Ning's mother, but Ning Jiaxuan also came. Ning Jiaxuan had someone make bridesmaids' clothes, and she didn't think about changing into more clothes. She was a bridesmaid, not a bride, so it was enough for a bridesmaid to have one or two suitable clothes, and she didn't need to steal the show.
Ning Jiaxuan thought that even if she had so many clothes, she would not be able to overshadow the others because her sister-in-law was too beautiful.
Ning Jiaxuan sat on the sofa and watched her sister-in-law change her clothes. It was a pure white wedding dress with a floor-length skirt. "It looks good. It looks good."
"Yes, it looks good." Ning Yanjing stared at Su Xueqing with burning eyes.
"My brother believes that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If he says something is beautiful, others may not think so. If I say it is beautiful, others will definitely think it is very beautiful," said Ning Jiaxuan.
"..." Ning Yanjing was certain that his sister was not suitable to be here.
"It does look good." Ning's mother said, "Does it fit?"
"It fits me well." Su Xueqing said, "Not fat, not thin."
Su Xueqing was originally worried that she would gain some weight after eating so many delicious foods. Even though she weighed herself regularly and her weight had not changed, she was still a little worried. After trying on the clothes and making sure they all fit, Su Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if she didn't gain weight, as it would be difficult to deal with it if she did, and it would be easier to alter the clothes if she lost weight.
"This cheongsam is beautiful, and the waist is so nice..." Ning Jiaxuan saw Su Xueqing changed into a cheongsam. Her figure was well-proportioned. She wanted to reach out and poke her, but her brother held her hand back, "Brother... I'm a woman."
"Woman, don't move around." Ning Yanjing thought that he didn't move around, so why would Ning Jiaxuan move around?
Then, Ning Jiaxuan moved her other hand and said, "I moved. I moved."
“…” Su Xueqing chuckled. This brother and sister pair were really interesting.
Ning Yanjing turned to look at Amelia Su, who put away the smile on her face and said, "I'll go change my clothes."
"Wait a moment." Ning Yanjing walked in front of Su Xueqing. He reached out and stroked Su Xueqing's hair. "Your hair is messy. Go change your clothes."
When Su Xueqing turned around to change her clothes, Ning Jiaxuan reached out and poked Ning Yanjing's arm, "Brother, I dare to move, but you don't."
Don't think she doesn't know. Ning Jiaxuan thought her brother just wanted to touch Su Xueqing.
"Don't make fun of your little brother." Ning's mother said, "If the clothes fit and there is nothing to be altered, then put them away."
"Are the clothes here?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"What do you think?" Ning's mother said, "Put the clothes here. When we go to the hotel for the wedding banquet, you can take them over. Your sister-in-law has to wear a wedding dress too. She can't go there in ordinary clothes."
"Put me here too." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"It's still early." Ning Yanjing said, Ning Jiaxuan didn't need to be here so early.
Su Xueqing changed her clothes, and Ning's mother asked someone to pack them up. Su Xueqing tried on those clothes and spent the whole morning. Ning's mother did not have lunch here, but took Ning Jiaxuan and others to leave first. Before Ning's mother left, she asked someone to put the clothes in a room. Things had to be put away properly, and nothing could go wrong.
When Ning's mother and Ning Jiaxuan returned home, the food was already on the table, but Ning's wife and the two children had not eaten yet.
"Brother is out again?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"He can't sit still." Mrs. Ning said, "He needs to adapt to the work here as soon as possible."
"It's really not easy to see my elder brother." Ning Jiaxuan sighed.
In the evening, after Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing finished dinner, they went to Su's house. Su Xueqing told Su's mother that the wedding dress had been tried on.
"Does it fit?" Su's mother asked.
"It fits." Su Xueqing said, "You have to take care of the child, so I didn't let you go over to see it."
"It doesn't matter whether we look at it or not. What matters is that the clothes fit you well." said Su's mother.
"There are eight sets of clothes." Su Xueqing said, "Each set of clothes is different."
"It's really a lot." Su's mother sighed.
"It's not that much." Ning Yanjing said, "You only get married once in your life, so you have to hold a good wedding banquet."
"That's right." Su's mother nodded.
"I heard that Shanshan had a fight with someone?" Su Xueqing asked. She had just heard it on the way here.
Others said that Shanshan was usually well-behaved and didn't look like a child who would fight, but Shanshan ended up fighting with others.
"It's because that family's granddaughter wanted to snatch Shanshan's hair flower. That hair flower was bought by you for Shanshan, and Shanshan didn't want others to snatch her hair flower away." Su's mother said, "Those people are really bad. They themselves are reluctant to buy a hair flower for their granddaughter, but they indulge her to snatch other people's hair flowers. The person selling hair flowers is next door, a neighbor, and can be cheaper. If they really want to be good to their granddaughter, they will buy it. They even have the nerve to go to other people's houses and say that it is the fault of other people's children."
When Su's mother thought about this incident, she felt that those people were so terrible.
"They are all sons of bitches." Su's mother said, "Your eldest sister is also sons of bitches. It's obviously not Shanshan's fault, but when someone comes to her house, she says that Shanshan has caused trouble for her and that she has a hard time. She doesn't even ask what the matter is."
"..." Su Xueqing thought that this really fits her elder sister's personality. Her elder sister is not someone who would consider her daughter. If her elder sister could consider her daughter, Wei Shanshan would not always be ignored by her elder sister.
Su Xueqing herself grew up from a little girl. Not to mention when she was a child, even now, Su Xueqing likes more hairbands and more decorations. Even if she doesn't wear them out, she hopes to have them. Su Xueqing is an adult, she can still control her inner desires, but children can't control them, and they can only look at others with eager eyes.
When she was a child, Su Xueqing didn't look at others wearing new clothes and hair ornaments. Her parents bought them for her, and her grandparents also bought them for her. Also, when Su Xueqing was wearing an old skirt, others asked her if it was a new skirt, and some even said they wanted to buy the same skirt as hers.
At that time, Su Xueqing looked at those people as if they were fools. She was not wearing a new dress, but an old one.
"No, no, you are wearing a new dress." The children still refused to believe what Su Xueqing said. They thought that Su Xueqing must be wearing new clothes. They said this not only in front of Su Xueqing, but also in front of their parents.
The parents of those children knew that Su Xueqing was wearing old clothes. They thought their children were too ignorant and that they were making excuses to get new clothes. The children just thought that Su Xueqing's clothes were pretty, so they decided that Su Xueqing was wearing new clothes. Their thinking was that simple. Some parents could not understand their children's thoughts and beat them.
Little Su Xueqing was also speechless. It was not new clothes, so she explained it. Shouldn’t the adults also explain it?
This kind of thing happens again and again. There are always some children who only remember the food and not the beating.
Su's mother told little Su Xueqing that it was because the children wanted to try out new clothes in case they had them. Little Su Xueqing was not to blame for this. Su's mother did not mean to blame her daughter. Her daughter was pretty and would look good in any old clothes.
Su Xueqing recalled the past events, and when she saw Wei Shanshan again, she naturally thought of buying something for Wei Shanshan.
"It's not easy for Shanshan." Su's mother sighed, "Her mother treats her like this, and her father, a grown man, doesn't care about these things."
If Wei Dashan is free, he will buy some food for Wei Shanshan. Looking at Wei Shanshan, if you want to say that Wei Dashan is very considerate, then he is not. Wei Dashan himself has short hair, so he would never think of Wei Shanshan tying her hair with a hair flower. He might think that it would be enough to tie it with a hair band. Why would there be a need for so many tricks?
"Shanshan cherishes the things you gave her very much." said Su's mother.
"The most important thing is to be safe and not get beaten." Su Xueqing said, "It's not worth getting beaten for such a small thing. If it's stolen, I'll buy her another one."
"We still have to fight back." Su's mother said, "If we don't fight back, others will come to steal her things in the future."
"That's true." Su Xueqing nodded. She seldom fought when she was a child, but there were some kids who fought just to be her friend.
"Those people bully the weak and fear the strong." said Su's mother.
"If the children don't fight back, it's even less likely that the adults will help them fight back." Su Xueqing said, "If there's no serious injury, just fight."
Children should not be allowed to think that adults do not allow them to fight back, nor should they be allowed to think that adults will only think that it is their fault. If adults really do that, it will make children become inferior and cowardly, and they will have no choice but to passively accept beatings and dare not tell the adults at home.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing sat at Su's house for a while before returning. On the way, they talked about the two sons of Ning Dasao and his wife.
"I used to think it was a boy and a girl." Su Xueqing said, "It was only when I went over there and wanted to buy you a gift that I asked you and found out."
The main reason is that Ning Yanjing rarely mentions them. Sometimes when he talks, he talks about nephews and nieces. Ning Yanjing has other nieces, who are the children of his cousins. Ning Yanjing rarely takes Su Xueqing to meet those people. Some of them are very troublesome and don't pay attention to what they say. It's not too late to have more contact with them after Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing hold their wedding banquet.
"They are two boys." Ning Yanjing said, "My eldest brother and his wife also said it was a pity that there was no girl."
"Do they like girls?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Boys and girls are fine, but since we have two children, we want to have both sons and daughters. Sons are too naughty." Ning Yanjing said, "When we have children in the future, let's have daughters."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "As long as you don't dislike your daughter."
Su Xueqing has no objection to having a son or a daughter. Girls are not necessarily worse than boys.
"No, we will all like it very much." Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly, "I like it very much, I like it very much."
"Aren't you afraid that others will say you don't have a son?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Don't be afraid." Ning Yanjing said, "What era is it now? Why do you think about having a son all the time? Will having a son make you stronger? It's not that girls are not strong. Look at you, aren't your grades very good? Your teacher likes you very much, and your uncle also thinks you are great."
"Girls have to work harder to be noticed by others." Su Xueqing said, "Girls are just a little bit better, and there is no gap. Others will still choose boys. It is obvious in our industry that boys are more popular, even if their performance is not as good as girls. Women have to get married, get pregnant, have children, and breastfeed. They may not be able to leave the construction site... All aspects have to be considered. If there are too many women, and they all have children, there will be no one to go to the construction site."
In some industries, it is hard to say whether boys are favored over girls. The reality is so cruel.
"Are you afraid that you will be replaced?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Don't worry." Su Xueqing said, "I didn't go to the construction site, so I could do other things. I went to the construction site just to take a look, and I didn't directly move bricks. I'm not the only one working, so there's no need to worry about pregnancy being stupid for three years. Many people are responsible for a project together."
"That's good." Ning Yanjing said.
"Do you know who will solve the problem of that stubborn household?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Who is it?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"It's my sister-in-law!" Su Xueqing said, "Why aren't you surprised?"
"Sister-in-law is capable." Ning Yanjing said, "Very powerful. She did a lot of things before she went to the northwest."
"It's not just a little bit powerful. You don't know how difficult it is to deal with that stubborn family." Su Xueqing said, "The old man in their family always walks on the ground, and many people dare not move, for fear that something will happen to him. Everyone said a lot and did a lot of things, but it was useless. The eldest sister-in-law went over and quickly solved the problem."
Su Xueqing admires Mrs. Ning very much. Mrs. Ning is really a good wife to Brother Ning.
"My sister-in-law also has a job, not that she doesn't have one." Su Xueqing said, "I heard that she went to the Women's Federation."
"She was doing this kind of work when she was in the northwest." Ning Yanjing said, "When you mentioned sister-in-law, her eyes lit up, just like Jiaxuan mentioned you."
"Strong women are worthy of respect." Su Xueqing said. She was not jealous of Sister Ning, she just thought Sister Ning was really great.
Su Xueqing is not worried that the Ning family values Ning's wife more. They value Ning's wife more, and that's what they should do. Ning's wife accompanied her brother Ning to suffer in the northwest, and she had to take care of two children. It was not easy for Ning's sister-in-law.
"It's my honor to be the sister-in-law of my eldest sister-in-law." Su Xueqing said, "When I met my eldest sister-in-law, I felt that she was a very dignified and generous person. She made people feel very comfortable and relaxed, and had a natural affinity. However, it's not natural at all. It must be the result of my eldest sister-in-law's hard work for a long time."
"If my sister-in-law heard what you said, she would definitely be very happy." Ning Yanjing said.
"My sister-in-law even brought me a gift." Su Xueqing said, "The last time I went there, I bought gifts for your two nephews, but I didn't buy a gift for my sister-in-law."
At that time, when Su Xueqing went to buy gifts with Ning Yanjing, she wanted to buy skin care products. Women like skin care products. As a result, Ning Yanjing said that Sister-in-law Ning brought skin care products and wanted to give them to Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing gave up buying skin care products. What she bought might not be suitable for Sister-in-law Ning.
"Sister-in-law will be very happy that you can go." Ning Yanjing said.
"I still have to send something. My sister-in-law came back from the northwest. It was such a long journey, but she still brought me gifts." Su Xueqing said.
"Would you like to send me a scarf?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Hmm?" Su Xueqing turned to look at Ning Yanjing, "Why do you say that?"
"You look good in a veil." Ning Yanjing said.
"..." Su Xueqing's lips curled slightly, "I wore it, but my sister-in-law might not like it. My sister-in-law works for the Women's Federation... I saw that my sister-in-law was dressed very simply and didn't dress up much..."
Su Xueqing recalled the time when she met Sister Ning. Sister Ning didn't seem to have put on much makeup and looked simple. Maybe because Sister Ning was exposed to more wind and sand in the northwest, she had more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
"It's indeed due to work reasons." Ning Yanjing said.
Mrs. Ning rarely dresses well now. When she goes out to do work for others, she shouldn't dress too well. If she dresses too well, it will be difficult to get close to those grassroots staff. Others will think that she is too glamorous and she can't understand those people.
Mrs. Ning's two children were playing outside. Mrs. Ning was watching them, but after playing for a while, the children were frightened by Yan's mother.
Yan's mother suddenly rushed over, and taking advantage of the fact that everyone thought she was crazy, she started cursing.
"Short-lived ghosts, you are all short-lived ghosts."
"Your grandparents are not good people. You will be punished."
"You ungrateful bastard, you little jerk."
…
When Mrs. Ning saw this, she quickly took the child back home instead of letting the child continue to play outside. Mother Yan was very proud when she saw Mrs. Ning taking the child away.
After returning home, Mrs. Ning told her mother about the situation.
"Why did she become like this?" Mrs. Ning was shocked at the time. "She was not like this before."
Sister Ning had met Yan's mother before. At that time, Yan's mother was gentle and polite, like a gentle lady. But now Yan's mother really looks like a psychopath.
"The child was frightened. Be careful. Children are more likely to have a fever if they are frightened." Ning's mother said, "Yichen's mother is indeed crazy. Jiaxuan has been scolded and tortured by her."
"this……"
"She encountered a lot of problems on the farm in the countryside, and the two families had a good relationship before, so she helped Yan Yichen a little." Ning's mother said, "The old lady of the Yan family came to the house in person."
"Alas." Mrs. Ning sighed, "I think her eyesight is pretty good."
"After a while, let Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen cancel their engagement." Ning's mother said. If the engagement was not cancelled, Ning's mother would ask Yan's mother to attack the family.
At that time, people can still say that Yan's mother is crazy, and many things are difficult to solve. It is better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible to save the trouble for both families.
"There's no need to wait for a while, it can be done now." Mrs. Ning said.
"We'll deal with her after her brother and sister-in-law's wedding banquet is over." Ning's mother said, "Be careful when you go out, and don't go in the direction of Yan's house."
"..."Mrs. Ning didn't like avoiding others like this, but she knew that this was the only way for the time being.
Yan Yichen shouldn't live here, the Yan family should live somewhere else.
"Should we invite them to Yanjing's wedding banquet?" asked Mrs. Ning.
If we really want to invite someone, things will become difficult when Yan's mother comes. I'm afraid she will make a fuss over there.
"The old lady of the Yan family knows her limits." said Ning's mother.
Old Lady Yan did not plan to let Yan's mother attend Ning Yanjing's wedding banquet. In order to prevent Yan's mother from going to the wedding banquet, Old Lady Yan even planned to put sleeping pills in milk so that Yan's mother could sleep at home. Old Lady Yan did not specifically tell Yan Yichen about it. As many people knew about it, Yan's mother was on guard. In addition, Yan Yichen could not bring himself to do anything to his own mother, so Old Lady Yan was afraid that Yan Yichen would delay things.
At night, Sister-in-law Ning and Brother Ning were in the room. She told them about the two children being frightened by their mother. Fortunately, the two children were fine, and Yan's mother only talked about it. Sister-in-law Ning was afraid that it was just talk now, what about the future?
"Mom meant to let Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen cancel their engagement after my brother and sister-in-law's wedding banquet." Sister Ning said, "This engagement should not have existed in the first place. It was only because the old lady of the Yan family came in person and took into consideration the friendship between the two families that my parents did not reject it directly."
"It's time to lift it." Brother Ning said.
"Have you seen Yan Yichen?" asked Mrs. Ning.
"Yes." Brother Ning said, "We met on the road and talked for a while."
Yan Yichen was concerned about the development zone policy and talked about some past events. He wanted to get closer to Brother Ning. Brother Ning knew what Yan Yichen was thinking and he just said he would handle the matter impartially.
It is impossible for Brother Ning to give Yan Yichen a back door. Not only Yan Yichen, but also Ning Yanjing, Brother Ning would not give Ning Yanjing a back door.
"Fortunately it's just an engagement. Jiaxuan doesn't like Yan Yichen. If Jiaxuan had married him, her life would probably be very difficult." Mrs. Ning said.
"Yes." said Brother Ning.
"In fact, Jiaxuan could have canceled the engagement earlier, without waiting for your brother to hold the wedding banquet." Sister-in-law Ning said, "She has a good relationship with your brother's wife, so she waited."
"Jiaxuan also knows how to consider others?" Brother Ning was surprised.
"It's not entirely because of my sister-in-law. She should still be thinking about you." Mrs. Ning said, "She broke off the engagement as soon as you came back, and people would talk about her. It would be better if we waited for a while. Jiaxuan can tell us some things, and she will tell these things to her good friends."
Sister Ning thought that Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing must have told each other about these things long ago, and they might have already discussed countermeasures. Sister Ning was in the northwest before, so she didn't know much. Sister Ning didn't think that Su Xueqing didn't let Ning Jiaxuan cancel the engagement for the wedding banquet. In Sister Ning's memory, Ning Jiaxuan was not a person who knew how to consider others. She was more likely to do what she wanted.
"After a few days, Jiaxuan and the others will be able to handle the matter properly." Mrs. Ning said, "Jiaxuan has grown up and is no longer the little girl she was before."
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were going to hold a wedding banquet. The night before the wedding, Ning Jiaxuan came over specially to accompany Su Xueqing.
"Didn't your mother come?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"I came here in the afternoon and just went back." Su Xueqing said, "Want to see my mother?"
"No, it's because I'm afraid you'll be lonely and miss your mom." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It's said that a newly-wed should cry in front of her family."
"I lived in the school dormitory when I was in college, and later I lived here." Su Xueqing said, "I rarely lived with my parents. We are in the same city, so it's not like we can't see each other often. In the future, the new house will be two or three bus stops away, so I can walk there. It's not too far."
"That's true. We're all in the same city, so it's convenient." Ning Jiaxuan nodded. "You...what are you feeling? Are you nervous?"
"I..." Su Xueqing was a little confused about what to say.
"Tomorrow, you and my brother will sleep on the same bed." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Don't be nervous."
"If you don't say anything, I'll be less nervous." Su Xueqing said.
"Let's talk more before we move into the bridal chamber." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Tomorrow, you will be... different."
"What's the difference?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Today, I still feel like I'm single, but tomorrow I won't." Ning Jiaxuan said, "But it's okay. You and my brother used to live under the same roof. If he's not okay, just tell me and I'll..."
"Aren't you afraid of having your pocket money deducted?" Su Xueqing asked.
"He deducted my pocket money, I asked you for it." Ning Jiaxuan winked at Su Xueqing, "Didn't the little brother let you manage the money? From now on, I will just hold on to your thighs. He treats you badly, the two of us will take his money and live together."
"Okay." Su Xueqing chuckled, "Okay, if he's not good, we'll run away with his money. Where do you want to run to?"
"You can visit scenic spots in various places, tour the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland, and travel abroad." Ning Jiaxuan said, "There are so many places to go, you don't have to worry about having nowhere to go."
As Ning Jiaxuan was talking, she suddenly saw a mosquito in front of her and quickly reached out to catch it.
"There are a lot of mosquitoes in this weather." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Don't you have any mosquito repellent?"
"They're dead, maybe one or two are still alive." Su Xueqing said.
"Do they also want to live together?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "I have to help them."
Ning Jiaxuan went to catch mosquitoes again. She had to kill them. "It's okay to get bitten on the hands and feet, but it's not a good look to get bitten on the face."
"Blood-sucking mosquitoes are female." Su Xueqing said.
"Female mosquito?" Ning Jiaxuan was surprised.
"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded, "It's a female mosquito."
"Females must be beaten, too," Ning Jiaxuan said. "Even if they have babies, they must be beaten. Mosquitoes must be killed by everyone."
"Be careful, watch your step." Su Xueqing said. It would be great if there was an electric mosquito swatter so there would be no need to swatter manually.
"Look, I hit you." Ning Jiaxuan stretched out her hand, on which lay a dead mosquito with blood still on its belly. "Did this mosquito bite you?"
Su Xueqing looked at her arms and then her legs, and there were indeed two lumps on her ankles.
"I haven't noticed it yet..." Su Xueqing said. Maybe it was because the mosquito had just bitten her ankle, so she didn't feel it. Some bumps only feel painful and itchy after a while after being bitten by mosquitoes.
"I'll go get you some medicine to apply." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You have to apply the medicine. If you don't, it might be all red tomorrow."
"Yes, it might turn red." Su Xueqing said, "There are medicines upstairs, no need to go downstairs."
When Su Xueqing saw Ning Jiaxuan about to open the door and go downstairs, she hurriedly stopped Ning Jiaxuan.
"You should be prepared to be bitten by mosquitoes at any time." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You should carry ointment in your bag every day. There is also some in the room."
"You have to be prepared. Mosquitoes are too poisonous." Su Xueqing said, "After being bitten, there is a red patch and it itches for many days. Without medication, the redness won't go away. By the time it does go away, the skin has become dead and cracked. It's a thin layer and it's hard to tear off. The touch is completely different from the surrounding skin. It's dry, not soft, and not flat. It feels like a winding ravine."
After that layer of dead skin falls off, the color of that area of skin will still be darker and not white enough, and it may take a while to slowly recover.
Su Xueqing had encountered such a situation before, and she didn't want her skin to become like that again, so it would be better to apply the ointment as soon as possible.
"This kind of ointment has a light smell, very light." Su Xueqing said, "It's very useful. I'll buy some more next time and you can take it back."
"I have to buy it. I haven't used the one you gave me before, and it's really effective." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I gave it to my sister-in-law a few days ago. My sister-in-law and her family were bitten by mosquitoes, and I told her that this ointment is very useful. My sister-in-law also said it's good after using it."
"That was last year." Su Xueqing said, "But it can still be used this year."
Ning Yanjing was not here tonight. He went back to the Ning family and had to prepare some things and arrange everything. Ning Yanjing would come to pick up Su Xueqing tomorrow, and the Su family would also come here early tomorrow morning.
The Su family, Su's mother and others have moved some of the dowry to Su Xueqing's residence today, starting from Su Xueqing's residence, not from the Su family. Su Xueqing does not have a separate room in the Su family. If she gets married at home, she will be in someone else's room in the Su family, which is inconvenient. The Su family does not have as many things as Su Xueqing's current residence.
"Have you taken all the things?" Old Madam Su asked, "Don't forget anything. When we pick up the bride tomorrow, we need to take all the things to the bridal chamber."
