"Only the people of Xiangyang Village are kind and righteous, otherwise who can tolerate her? An abandoned woman is shameful enough, and now another one comes back. The old Su family is simply the laughing stock of the whole village! Your marriage is becoming more and more uncertain, I really don't know what your grandma is thinking.
With Su Niannian's face, she can just marry someone who is divorced. Why bring her back? What's the point of bringing her back?!"
Shen Xiu'e had contacted Aunt Hua to bring someone over to see Su Zhaodi.
Now it seems that it can only be soaked in the soup.
With this enchantress Su Niannian at home, even the best son-in-law will be seduced away!
Her anger burned out her reason, and she said everything she should and shouldn't say. Her face looked extremely stinky, and her instinct was to stir up trouble.
Su Zhaodi's eyes widened, and she said in panic, "Mom! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything! Nian Nian is my uncle's daughter, a representative of three generations of poor peasants, and her husband is an officer. Who dares to touch her?! Don't go to the county to gossip, or I will be angry with you!"
Shen Xiu'e rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong with the officer?! Didn't he get abandoned anyway? I think I should have married you to him in the first place. You might even have a child now..."
"Yes, if you try harder, you might be reborn." Wang Guifen, with a gloomy face, appeared at the door with a bag of flour. The mother and daughter were instantly frightened into silence, not daring to even breathe.
After a while, Shen Xiu'e said dryly, "Mom, I'm just worried that Nian Nian will be bullied! Our Su family has no man to back us up. If it doesn't work, let Zhao Di go and have a good talk with the Gu family's kid. Isn't it just to have a son? My Zhao Di is good at giving birth. Look at how big her butt is..."
"If you can speak, speak nicely. If you can't speak, just sit at the same table with the dogs. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me. Have you chopped the firewood? Have you fetched the water? If you really can't, hang yourself on the wall instead of wasting air here. Get out!" Wang Guifen frowned and scolded her daughter-in-law.
The next second,
She picked up the sickle on the windowsill.
Shen Xiu'e was immediately frightened to the point of pissing her pants.
"Mom! I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will go fetch some water now!"
She picked up the carrying pole, grabbed the bucket and ran away quickly.
Su Zhaodi swallowed her saliva, wanting to cry but unable to, "Grandma, my mom was holding a dung bucket."
"Rely on her? She can't even eat shit while it's hot!" Wang Guifen didn't even look at her and said coldly, "Go light the stove, boil water, and make a pot of chicken soup for your sister."
The old hen, which had just been brought home less than two months ago, let out its last scream and then had its throat cut without wasting a drop of blood. Su Zhaodi shuddered and ran into the kitchen in fear and excitement. The hen with its wings folded was thrown into a bucket and poured with boiling water. The job of plucking its feathers fell on Su Zhaodi.
Wang Guifen washed her hands clean and walked to her granddaughter's room.
Beautiful reed curtains hung by the windows, blocking out the moonlight.
The room was pitch dark. If it weren't for the movement under the quilt, one wouldn't be able to tell that there was someone inside. Wang Guifen put the kerosene lamp she had brought on the cupboard and walked slowly to Su Niannian's bed.
"My dear, grandma knows you haven't slept. You were wronged during the trip to the northwest, but your brother, that fool, got the better of you. But grandma, you see, Xiao Gu is a caring person. He knows that you can't get good care in the Ning County Family Compound, so he specially ordered people to send you back. In life, it's like lips touching lips, so it's bound to be conflicts.
You are all still young, take good care of your health, you will have children in the future..."
Su Niannian said in a muffled voice: "I didn't have a miscarriage. The baby is safe for now."
"That's great! What about Xiao Gu..."
"If there is no result, it's just empty joy. Let's wait until the pregnancy is stable."
Wang Guifang tucked the corner of the quilt, thinking: "My dear, in the end you don't trust him. This matter can be discussed, why hide it? Tell grandma from the bottom of your heart, have you been wronged in the Gu family? Or has someone bullied you?"
"Grandma, I know my limits. I'm not a child."
Wang Guifang was delighted: "Yes, my granddaughter has her own ideas."
"Grandma, I don't want to live with him anymore."
"..."
Wang Guifen touched her granddaughter's forehead with her hand and said, "You don't have to be so opinionated! Silly child, Xiao Gu is a soldier, so he can't be with you all the time. Don't blame him, it's not easy for him to get to where he is now.
As his bedmate, you should be more considerate to him. Although we got married in a hurry, feelings are developed through time. Xiao Gu is a good person and worthy of trust. There is no right or wrong in the relationship between husband and wife. I understand his feelings. This is the grandson his mother has been looking forward to for a long time, so don't take his harsh words to heart. "
Su Niannian's heart was stabbed by a needle, as if she had been poisoned by a chronic poison. She moved her lips slightly, and the words "he has someone he likes" were swallowed back. In her grandmother's eyes, Gu Zhiye was a unique young talent in Xiangyang Village.
Young, family-oriented, and capable, if she really told Wang Guifen about the divorce, she was afraid that Wang Guifen would never let her go to the northwest alone again. After weighing it over and over again, she nodded listlessly: "Well, I'll listen to grandma."
"This is grandma's beloved grandson! The milk candy from your cousin's wedding last time, I heard it was in the shape of a big gray rabbit, grandma is saving it for you..." Wang Guifen smiled, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and opened it layer by layer, revealing the tightly wrapped milk candy inside, which was deformed due to being squeezed by moisture.
Su Niannian, who was always picky about food, peeled it open and stuffed it into her mouth in a few seconds. Her cheeks bulged and she smiled softly, "Sweet."
"Take good care of yourself at home. You will have no shortage of candy, eggs and meat. Xiao Gu gave me some money and grandma will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some tomorrow." One hundred yuan was more than she could spend. She could even buy two sets of clothes for her granddaughter. This child would be happy as long as she got new clothes and would put aside all her worries.
Su Niannian was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and felt complicated. When Wang Guifen left, she gave her the bills she had saved in the past two months. Work points in the countryside can be exchanged for money, but not for bills, and this thing is extremely precious.
Su Niannian didn't wait for the chicken soup and turned over and slept until dawn.
The next morning.
Before she got up, she saw Su Zhaodi push the door open and stick her head out. She smiled and asked her, "Niannian, get up and eat. Do you want me to bring it to you? Last night, grandma made you a pot of chicken soup. It was so soft and boneless, and it smelled so good that my mouth was watering. Come on, come on!"
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes." Su Niannian was really hungry. When she changed her clothes and went to the main room, she found that except for her second uncle who got up early to go to work, the rest of the family was sitting around the table waiting for her. When she saw her come in, Wang Guifen immediately scooped out a big chicken leg from the can with a spoon and placed it in front of Su Niannian: "Try it and see if grandma's cooking skills have deteriorated?"
Su Niannian smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Wang Guifen was in charge of the family's spoons, and the task of distributing the rice was on her. Su Zhaodi kept swallowing sour water, her voice full of expectation: "Grandma, I want to eat meat too."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The fact that you can eat meat today is all thanks to Nian Nian!" As Wang Guifen spoke, she scooped a piece of chicken neck and the chicken skin on it and gave it to Su Zhaodi, then poured a spoonful of oily yellow chicken soup on it, and the aroma immediately hit her nose.
Shen Xiu'e, who was at the back, reminded hurriedly.
"Mom, I just need to eat a chicken butt."
"I'll give you a good meal! Everyone knows that chicken butts have a lot of meat, don't even think about it!" Wang Guifen stirred with her spoon, fished out a dry chicken claw, and threw it into Shen Xiu'e's bowl. She sneered, "Eat it! I think you can still get sick!"
