Su Jianshan's body stiffened slightly and his steps froze in place.
Wang Guifen looked at him with contempt, and said angrily: "Grandma, let me be frank with you. The Liu family doesn't think highly of you. Taozi is a good girl, but marriage is a matter between two families. Didn't you see what her mother is like today?
Even if she chooses you today, if she regrets it one day, you will be dragged into hell. Jianshan, let this marriage be like this."
Su Jianshan's eyes turned red, and finally, under Wang Guifen's drag, he left without looking back.
Liu Tao, standing at the bottom of the tube building, stared blankly at the other person's leaving figure, tears falling like rain. Liu's mother couldn't stand her daughter's appearance. She was just a fool, what was there to worry about? She pretended to be gentle and put her arm around Liu Tao's shoulders, smiling and said, "Your father's friend brought his son to visit our home. They are all young people. You can go up and sit with them. As for those who have gone far away, they are not suitable for you. Taozi, mom is doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?!" Liu Tao shook off her mother's hand and collapsed, "No one has ever treated me better than Su Jianshan! Do you know how good he is to me?! You don't understand at all, you lied to me! You and dad clearly agreed to let the Su family come to visit today, you lied to me, and teamed up with the neighbors to embarrass the Su family, you did it on purpose, right?! You wanted him to give up when he saw the difficulty——!"
"Liu Tao! What's your attitude? You should understand. I'm your mother. Everything I do is for your sake. He's just a temporary worker in a military cafeteria. His salary is so low that he can't even support you. He has a rural hukou. Look at the style of his family. They even take away any gift that is sent to their door. They are so poor that I'm embarrassed to say it."
"So what did you have when you married dad?! What did he have!"
As Liu Tao roared, her mother, who was furious, slapped her in the face. After the "pa" sound, both of them were stunned. Just as her mother was about to explain, Liu Tao covered her face and ran out. Her family would never understand what she wanted. Now it had become difficult for her and Su Jianshan to maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. This was not the result Liu Tao wanted.
She must find a way to keep him.
The first thing that came to my mind was Chen Niannian’s face.
The steel plant and the garment factory are next door to each other, and you can reach the next door tube building by turning a corner.
It's the weekend.
Chen Niannian was preparing lunch at home when she heard someone banging on the door outside. She picked up the spatula cautiously, but saw Liu Tao's swollen eyes through the small window. Chen Niannian opened the door and received her warmly. Amid Liu Tao's sobs, Chen Niannian quickly learned the ins and outs of the matter. Based on her understanding of Wang Guifen, this marriage was definitely over.
But when Liu Tao choked up and asked, "Niannian, what do you think Jianshan and I should do?!"
The humiliation of that day was still fresh in her mind. In fact, although Wang Guifen often beat and scolded Su Jianshan, Su Jianshan was actually the treasure of the old Su family. He was the only bloodline of the Su family and Su Niannian's weak spot. Chen Niannian rolled his eyes and said softly, "Your parents are really too much. In fact, I have a way to make them accept the existence of the eldest brother, but this idea is really not a good one..."
Liu Tao grabbed hold of a floating log like a drowning person, "What's your idea? Tell me--!"
Chen Niannian leaned over and whispered.
After she finished speaking, Liu Tao's face instantly turned red, then slowly turned pale. She shook her head and said, "No... No, this is too risky. Not to mention my parents, even Jianshan may not agree. You know, he is always conservative, he won't agree."
Chen Niannian smiled, turned around, took out a packet of medicine powder from the cupboard, stuffed it into Liu Tao's palm, and said meaningfully: "This is a good thing, I can't bear to use it myself."
Liu Tao's heart began to waver, as if she was bewitched. Although she knew it was wrong, she still took the packet of powder with her when she left. Chen Niannian smiled and watched her leave. The packet of powder was originally prepared for Jin Chuan. It was the medicine for breeding sows. Half a packet was enough to make a person lose his mind. Now, this thing obviously had a better place.
As long as Liu Tao dares to use this thing on Su Jianshan, she will be able to instigate Liu's parents to sue Su Jianshan for hooliganism and use a fool to drag everyone into the water. This is her revenge on the Su family!
…
After returning from the Liu family that day, the atmosphere in the Su family became stagnant.
No one had expected this result. Everyone thought that given Su Jianshan's character, he would slowly forget about Liu Tao, but this time he was acting out of character and became silent, listless, and depressed. Even Fubao couldn't make his uncle smile again. Su Niannian saw it and was anxious. So after Gu Zhiye got off work that day, Su Niannian gave him an important task.
As a man, he tried to find a way to comfort Su Jianshan.
Gu Zhiye nodded, thinking he would be comforted and explained, but he turned around and took Su Jianshan to the training ground, and asked him to run thirty laps without saying anything. The originally taciturn Su Jianshan was so tired that he gasped, "No... I don't want to run anymore, I'm so tired!"
Gu Zhiye accompanied him at his side and asked, "Do you still want to go to Liu's house?"
"..."
"If you still want to go, keep running until all the water in your head is poured out."
Su Jianshan's eyes widened and he murmured, "I don't want to go."
"Then why have you been looking so sad these past two days? It's because of you that Nian Nian and grandma can't eat or sleep well. Everyone wants this marriage to happen, but you've seen the attitude of the Liu family. They embarrassed grandma so much in person. I've already given Liu Tao face by not going to their house to cause trouble.
For three whole days, if she really meant it, she should have come to apologize, but she didn't. Brother, I know Liu Tao is a good comrade, but she doesn't have the courage to be with you, and she didn't even take a step closer to you. Do you understand what this means? She is different from Nian Nian..."
Su Jianshan sniffed and said, "I know."
"No, you don't know. If you really knew, you shouldn't have let your family worry." Gu Zhiye's eyes darkened, and he said in a serious tone: "Go talk to Liu Tao. If the sky falls, I'll still be there."
Su Jianshan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him.
Perhaps it was Gu Zhiye's words that gave Su Jianshan the courage, or perhaps it was Liu Tao's delay in finding him that made Su Jianshan feel uneasy. After hesitating for two days, Su Jianshan finally went to the art troupe and met Liu Tao on the way to the cafeteria.
The other party obviously didn't expect him to come over, and was actually panicked and avoided for a moment. That small action broke Su Jianshan's heart. He was stunned for a second, then smiled innocently and said, "Taozi, don't be afraid. I came to you just to talk to you. Let's forget about our business. I won't delay you."
Liu Tao's eyes turned red in an instant.
