Chapter 10: Su's Bad Play
From that day on, the Su family went to pieces. Old Mrs. Xu would come to the door every day and curse at them for an hour or so, but after that she would leave in shame.
Since Su saw the wound on her daughter's back, she had a rebellious impulse in her heart, and she felt guilty about her daughter. Now that she heard Old Lady Xu knocking on the door again, she didn't care! She just followed Xu Zhiyi in the room and started to mess around.
At this time, Xu Zhiyi secretly came to the main room. After she forced Su to give up the cooking for the past two days, Li and Song had to take turns cooking.
Xu Zhiyi came to the main hall to get food at mealtime these past two days. Unexpectedly, the Xu family learned their lesson today! They waited until all the food was ready before serving it on the table.
And now it is Song who is busy in the kitchen.
"You money-loser, you come to steal the buns again, I'm going to tell mother..." As he said this, he was about to shout loudly at Song.
Before Xu Jinbao started shouting, Xu Zhiyi hurried over to cover his mouth. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. He pushed Xu Jinbao into the main room and closed the door from the outside when he came out.
"You're losing money, open the door, wow, mother!!!" Xu Jinbao burst into tears while banging on the door in the main room.
When Mrs. Song in the kitchen heard her baby son crying, she was so scared that she hurried out of the kitchen. When she saw that the cry came from the main room, she ran over immediately, only to find that the door was locked from the outside!
When Xu Zhiyi saw Song leave the kitchen, she immediately ran into the kitchen, opened the pot, and was surprised to find that there were five white flour buns today.
Because black flour is cheaper than white flour, white flour buns are rarely seen at home. I didn’t expect to find five of them today. I wrapped the five white flour buns in clothes and ran into the room.
"What's wrong? What happened to grandma's lovely grandson?" Old Mrs. Xu, who was in the room, also came to the main room to see what was going on.
"Wow, grandma, that money-loser tried to steal food again, and when I found out, she locked me in the main room, woooo." When Xu Jinbao saw Grandma Xu, he immediately threw himself into her arms and cried to complain.
Hearing this, Song heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I was smart. I left the steamed buns in the pot in the kitchen today. I'll just serve them out when everyone arrives."
When Old Lady Xu heard this, she thought about Daya who had become a different person in the past two days. She would definitely not go back to her room without getting food.
"It's bad!" Mrs. Xu suddenly thought of something and jumped to the kitchen. She opened the pot and saw that it was a sin! The black flour buns were still there, but the five white flour buns were all gone!
"Ah! Mom, there was enough before I went out just now." Song followed into the kitchen and saw that there were fewer white steamed buns in the pot, so she hurriedly explained.
Old Mrs. Xu came over angrily and slammed Su's door: "Xu Daya, you loser, give me the buns back quickly, do you think you can eat them?"
After knocking for a while, seeing that no one opened the door, he got so angry that he rolled over at the door, slapping the ground and slapping his thighs.
"Oh my god! I am going to die! My granddaughter is stealing her grandfather's food! This is so unfair! Oh my God! Please open your eyes and accept this unfilial granddaughter!"
Su in the room was very nervous when she heard Old Mrs. Xu screaming miserably.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Su and snorted coldly:
"Mom, listen to grandma scolding people. Her voice is so loud and full of energy. If you give her a pig, she can probably carry it. So, why are you worrying about her?"
As Xu Zhiyi spoke, he handed the steamed bun in his arms to Su.
Su looked at the steamed buns handed over and jumped up in fear, exclaiming: "Daya, you took the white flour buns today? Even your grandmother can't eat them. They are for the male children in the family to nourish their bodies."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi quickly picked up a white steamed bun and took a big bite, puffing her lips and saying, "Mom, Xu Jinbao, a six-year-old boy at home, is stronger than the two of us. In this family, the two of us are the ones who need to nourish our bodies the most."
Then he handed one directly to Su's arms: "I'll be hungry if I don't eat a meal, Mom, you don't have to save it. I took one more today, it's enough to eat."
Su looked at the white steamed buns in her arms and her daughter who was eating happily, and she couldn't bear to say anything else. Oh, forget it, just be unrestrained for once!
Old Mrs. Xu cried out at the door until her voice was hoarse, but she found that the door still wouldn't open and she was the only one performing a one-man show.
He could only utter two harsh words: "Su, just wait, I will divorce you on behalf of my son. Our Xu family cannot tolerate a big Buddha like you!!!"
At this time, Song in the kitchen was very nervous because the man in the family had worked hard in the mountains these days! Her mother-in-law specifically asked her to make some white flour buns for the man in the family to replenish his body, but she didn't expect it to fall into her hands.
She was now afraid that her mother-in-law would turn her anger on herself, and she just hoped she could avoid it.
"Mom, grandma has gone back to her room! I thought I could watch that money-loser get beaten by grandma again today!"
Xu Xiaoju, who had been secretly observing the situation, saw that her mother had been defeated, which was a pity.
"Why do you care about her? She won't be able to stay alive for many days. I'm telling you in secret, so don't tell anyone else about it!" Li put down the embroidery in her hand and moved closer to her daughter.
"Mom, I'm very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone." Xu Xiaoju was very curious when she heard that.
Li whispered, "Your grandfather asked your grandmother to help that money-loser keep an eye out for her husband's family. Your grandmother went out that day and I happened to follow her. Your grandmother told the matchmaker that as long as the betrothal gift was high and the man was a certain person, she would not care."
"What? Mother, what grandma means is that as long as I have money, I can be a widower?"
Xu Xiaoju felt gloating when she thought that the money-loser could only marry such a husband in the future.
Mrs. Li: "Tsk tsk, if she really marries a widower, she'll be lucky. If he's a fool or one without limbs, she'll have a hard time in the future!"
"Haha, mother, she deserves it. Who told her to change suddenly in the past two days? She even dared to resist you. She will suffer the consequences." Hearing this, Xu Xiaoju sat down with a smile and helped embroider the handkerchief.
In the evening, Old Man Xu came home and listened to Old Lady Xu angrily complaining about what happened at home. He also slammed the table angrily and said, "Evil creature! I must break her legs today!"
As he was about to rush out, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and forced himself to hold it in.
At the dinner table, Song saw her father-in-law suddenly going to deal with her second sister-in-law and her daughter. Why did he stop halfway? She thought for a moment and tugged at her husband's sleeve.
Seeing his wife's little action, Xu Le whispered: "Don't worry about it, Dad knows what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Song curled her lips.
However, Li and Xu Xiaoju knew what Old Man Xu was thinking. She would be married soon anyway, and if she was beaten and crippled now, it would affect the betrothal gift!
Suddenly, the eldest son Xu Yaoguang, who had always been relatively introverted, spoke up and asked in confusion, "Mom, why haven't Second Aunt and Daya come out to eat these past two days?"
Normally, the two of them cannot sit at the table, but at least they will eat in the kitchen, or squat under the eaves. Why haven’t they been seen these two days?
Upon hearing this, Li said unhappily, "Why bother with them? They are eating better than you today, stop worrying about them."
