The only daughter-in-law?
The old lady's attitude towards the eldest brother and his wife was indeed very mysterious. Moreover, she specially handed this important pension back to her when she was dying. Given this, Su Niannian wanted to get rid of this family even more...
After she buried the passbook,
It took me nearly two hours to get home.
Ma Hongmei pried open everything inside and outside the house, even the private plot, but she still got nothing. You have to know that in those days, the annual expenses of an average family were at most ten yuan, and the pension was nearly a thousand yuan. Just thinking about it could drive people crazy. Even Gu Shutong, who usually pretended to be calm, had a gloomy face and sat on the eaves smoking a pipe.
Dinner was the cabbage stew left over from the banquet.
Su Niannian dug a hole in a hurry, locked the door and went into the house. Ma Hongmei's eyes were too creepy, so she could only pray that Su Jianshan would come soon, so that from then on, the mountains were high and the seas were wide, and birds could fly freely...
With beautiful hopes in mind, Su Niannian fell into a deep sleep after being busy for two days.
Half asleep and half awake, she heard the rustling sound from the keyhole of the door. Su Niannian immediately jumped up from the pillow. She grabbed the sickle hidden beside the pillow, swallowed her saliva, and pretended to be still asleep for a while: "Zhiye, are you back? Didn't you say you would arrive the day after tomorrow..."
She muttered to herself as the noise outside the door gradually died down.
Su Niannian sat in front of the bed with her clothes on. She didn't dare to fall asleep all night. She had some vague guesses in her mind as to why Gu's mother asked her to leave Lotus Village.
The next morning.
There were two rotten wild vegetable dumplings on the table, which were obviously left over from the banquet. There was a crackling sound coming from the inner room. It was Ma Hongmei rummaging through the drawers.
Su Niannian drank a glass of warm water.
He swallowed half a dry biscuit with an expressionless face.
When Gu Shutong stepped out of the kitchen, he saw that the woman's fingers and wrists were filled with a sense of elegance and grace. There was an obvious indentation on her fair skin, as if it was left by her hand. He placed half a bowl of porridge in front of Su Niannian and said flatteringly, "Sister-in-law, this is the porridge I cooked for you."
Su Niannian looked at him in confusion.
"Brother, you don't have to take extra care of me."
Unlike the rural women outside, Su Niannian has fair and tender skin, and her eyes are always a little moist. Every time he looks into her eyes, it is like seeing a clear crescent moon, misty, graceful and attractive, which makes him involuntarily yearn for more.
This would have been his daughter-in-law, if he wasn't disabled...
"Brother wants to take care of you."
He lowered his voice, and the gloom in his tone gave Su Niannian goose bumps. Ma Hongmei was in the inner room separated by a wall. She stood up calmly and poured the bowl of warm porridge all over Gu Shutong's hypocritical face, "Thank you for your care, brother."
Su Niannian is full of pride.
This made Gu Shutong feel itchy.
In the afternoon, she went out for a while. When she returned, it was already evening. There was food on the table, as well as a plate of dried bacon. Su Niannian didn't even glance at them. She wrapped herself in clothes and went into the house. The moment she closed the door, a pair of hands with thick calluses blocked her movements: "Niannian, you haven't eaten yet..."
"You and your sister-in-law eat, don't worry about me."
"Your sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' home..." Gu Shutong's voice was as venomous as a poisonous snake, as if he couldn't bear it for even a moment.
Su Niannian's pupils suddenly shrank, and Gu Shutong seized the moment of her stunned state, pushed open the door and rushed in. His big hands like iron claws could not wait to grab her arm, and he coaxed her incoherently, "Niannian, I regretted it the first time I saw you. I should have gone to the Su family to pick up the bride, and I shouldn't have let Zhiye, that bastard, get away with it.
He is a soldier, if you marry him, it will be the same as being a widow, but it doesn’t matter, Big Brother loves you, Big Brother treats you as a treasure…”
Su Niannian's arm was pinched by him and it hurt, but it was still early for the agreed time, so she had to delay. Su Niannian suppressed her nausea and scolded him angrily.
"It's illegal to disrupt a military marriage, how dare you——!"
"You can't write two Gu characters with one stroke, Nian Nian, you are still a little naive. Zhiye has been a sensible child since he was young. He knows clearly which is more important, your innocence or the reputation of the Gu family.
Do you think that in his heart, you, Su Niannian, are really an important person? Even the trip to pick up the bride was forced by my mother. He didn't want to get married at all, otherwise he wouldn't have run away so quickly..."
With a "slap" sound, a slap landed on Gu Shutong's cheek. Su Niannian made a desperate move and said, "What if... you are not a child of the Gu family at all? Do you think Gu Zhiye would care about your life or death... If you ruin the family tradition, he would want to kill you--!"
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me! What do you mean by this sentence?!" Gu Shutong was irritated by some word and began to shake the other person's shoulder to ask. His ferocious look was completely different from his usual self. Su Niannian accidentally fell down, and then immediately got up and ran outside.
Gu Shutong realized belatedly that the other party was stalling for time, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost.
Just as he stretched out his claws towards Su Niannian, the next second, a figure rushed in from the door and smashed down with fists as big as sandbags, hitting his flesh with every punch, and even his ribs made a crisp sound under the weight.
Su Niannian decisively hid aside.
Su Jianshan dragged the other person out of the room and into the yard, waving his fist desperately and cursing, "You bitch! Bitch! Bitch!"
Su Niannian almost burst into laughter: "Brother, I scolded you wrongly——!"
Su Jianshan saw her red eyes, turned around and punched Gu Shutong immediately, then shouted angrily: "Beast! Beast! You beast! Who told you to steal my sister's things!"
Song Aiguo and others who had just walked out of the yard were all stunned. They could only see Gu Shutong being beaten into a bloody mess, and the other party begging for mercy: "No, I didn't..."
"You turned the house upside down and you still dare to quibble. I'll smash your mouth. If you dare to look at my sister again, I'll punch you..." Su Jianshan didn't give face to anyone at all. Even Song Aiguo, who came to stop the fight, was punched. After a while, the latter stomped his feet and said angrily: "Niannian's brother, calm down!"
“You can’t calm down! You are a bunch of bastards. You are here just to help this bastard. My poor sister is being bullied all alone…”
"What if I say I'm here to give you a letter of introduction? Comrade Su Niannian's joining the army in the northwest has been settled..."
