In Su Zhaodi's expectant eyes,
Wang Wei was half pushed and half pulled by Shen Xiu'e into the old Su's house.
Wang Wei seemed calm, but in fact his hands and feet were weak when he stepped over the threshold, and he didn't even know where to look. He had secretly come to Xiangyang Village and witnessed Shen Xiu'e's sarcasm and harshness. He really didn't expect that the other party had such a warm and considerate side. If he had fifty yuan in his hand, Shen Xiu'e would probably change her words and call him "son-in-law" on the spot. He had no doubt about it.
Su Niannian walked behind, keeping her achievements and fame hidden.
Until Su Zhaodi grabbed her hand, the sudden action scared Wang Guifen who was standing next to her so much that she almost jumped up. After seeing that it was Su Zhaodi, she put her raised hand down again and said bitterly: "You bastard, you still know how to come back and let your mother suffer this for nothing!"
"This is what she deserves! Let's see if she dares to move things from our house to my grandparents' house again!" Su Zhaodi looked disapproving, but her steps were faster than anyone else's, and she almost jumped into the house.
The moment she appeared, Shen Xiu'e's eyes immediately changed from gentle to fierce. Su Zhaodi hid behind Wang Wei reflexively. Shen Xiu'e's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Comrade Wang, I heard that you are here to find a matchmaker to look for a girl. Do you have any requirements? I might be able to introduce you to someone..."
"My family is poor and I don't have any demands." Wang Wei was extremely honest.
What happened next seemed to be a matter of course. Shen Xiu'e introduced Su Zhaodi to Wang Wei, using the favor of saving her life as bait. Her only request was that she could occasionally live in Xiangyang Village, so that the Su family would not be without a man to support the family. As for her second son, Su Laoer, ha! He was not even a human being!
Wang Wei immediately said that this was not a problem. He even gave a betrothal gift of 20 yuan. That was the capital that Su Zhaodi was going to use to elope. After many twists and turns, it finally returned to her hands.
The marriage was finalized, and even Du Laoliu's side had a back-up plan. For a while, the courtyard was full of joy. This result was something that young lovers would never dare to think about. Wang Wei, who looked rough but was actually gentle at heart, touched his head and said shyly, "My family is poor. In fact, even my eldest brother hasn't found a wife yet."
Having said that, he subconsciously glanced at Su Niannian.
She is as beautiful as a fairy in a magazine.
Good intentions too.
Wang Guifen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately explained, "This is my granddaughter Su Niannian. She's married! She's already married!"
"..."
Wang Wei's eyes were filled with disappointment, but Shen Xiu'e didn't care. She pulled her future son-in-law over and raised her voice deliberately, "Oh! Our family doesn't care about that. It doesn't matter if you have money or not. We just hope you can treat my daughter well and not be the type who only cares about giving money and not caring about anything else. We women, after all, just want to find a man who understands our feelings, Nian Nian, don't you agree?"
Su Niannian smiled but did not respond.
Instead, Wang Guifen gave her daughter-in-law a harsh look.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Seeing her granddaughter avoiding the crowd and walking outside, the old lady immediately chased after her. The grandmother and granddaughter walked to the quiet bamboo forest behind the mountain one after the other. There was no one around. Wang Guifen took a deep breath and whispered, "My dear! Your aunt never thinks before she speaks. Don't take her words to heart and don't take it personally. Xiao Gu is actually very good to you."
Su Niannian plucked a bamboo leaf, her voice soft.
"Grandma, Gu Zhiye has someone he likes."
"What?" Wang Guifang's mind went blank for a moment. She stammered, "Xiao Gu... Xiao Gu is not that kind of person. They value discipline the most. He would never do such a thing! Grandma can see that he will do whatever you ask for."
"Because he feels guilty, he treats me well."
"My goodness, what does this mean?"
"I didn't care about these things in the first place. I just wanted the title of a military wife, but there will always be a day when I will be divorced. You should be nicer to your brother-in-law. In the future, the Su family will have him to support the family, and you won't be bullied."
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Wang Guifen slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "Look at what you said! Isn't that like putting a louse on your head? Tell grandma, who does he like?! Grandma promises to send that damned woman away without alerting Xiao Gu! If she dares to bully my good boy, she better have a body of iron and steel, or I can beat her to death!"
The smile on Su Niannian's face faded a little: "I don't know."
"This matter was let slip by his correspondent. There are many things going on in the South China Sea. I won't bother him about my mother and me for the time being. When he wants to file for a divorce, I will agree. You should be mentally prepared."
"Then why are you going to Ning County? Not going!"
"Grandma, it's not like Gu Zhiye will never come back... Besides, my brother is still in the army..." Su Niannian's eyes flickered slightly, and she never mentioned anything about the art troupe. At this point, she definitely couldn't stay in the dance team. The best way was to submit an application for transfer, and the details needed to be discussed with Deputy Director Zhang. For the sake of this tour, Su Niannian hoped that the other party could give her a way out.
"That's fine! When your belly gets bigger, grandma will serve you herself!"
Wang Guifang said this with gritted teeth.
She wanted to see who dared to take advantage of Gu Zhiye!
…
Time passed quickly. On the day Su Niannian left, the team leader personally drove a tractor to take her to the commune, carrying large and small bags, all of which were things that Wang Guifen had bought for her.
Outside the train station, Su Jianshan was waiting early. When he saw his sister's pretty face, he was so anxious that he almost cried: "Niannian! Brother is here!"
Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, Su Jianshan had too many things he wanted to ask.
Su Niannian was extremely tired after taking the train all the way. She said with droopy eyebrows: "Brother, can you leave the things grandma gave me first? I will tell you about other things in detail tomorrow. Now I have to go to the art troupe first and report to the leader if there is anything."
Su Jianshan nodded, looking very heroic and confident.
"If you are bullied, just tell me. I can't beat them to death!"
"..."
Su Niannian was accidentally pushed down and injured while on tour in the provincial capital, so she took a half-month leave. The matter had already caused an uproar in the art troupe. Some said she was pretentious, some said she was deliberately causing trouble, and of course there were also some people who sympathized with her. When Su Niannian appeared in the art troupe, she attracted a lot of attention.
She turned a deaf ear to those discussions and went straight to the director's office. Deputy Director Zhang was very worried about the affairs of the Imperial Capital Art Troupe. When he saw her return, he was startled and immediately asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"good."
Deputy Director Zhang observed her expression and spoke tentatively, "Comrade Su Niannian, was what happened that night really as Comrade Gu said? If so, we will never tolerate it. We must ask the Imperial Capital Art Troupe for an explanation and issue a severe public criticism to Captain Chen and others who took the lead!"
Su Niannian was startled and immediately explained: "It was just an accident."
"Then it is true. Don't worry, I will personally monitor and handle this matter. Those who are looking for trouble will not be let off. Comrade Su Niannian, I am very surprised that you gave up the lead dancer position this time. I didn't expect that you are completely different from the others in the art troupe and value collective honor far more than personal honor.
We didn't make a mistake in choosing you. You are very good and you have led the team very successfully this time. The organization has decided to promote you to the deputy captain of the second dance team. In the future, you and Liao Yu will both have great chances of joining the first team. Work hard and strive for a higher position. "
The procedures for promotion have been completed and are within reach.
Su Niannian couldn't help but clench her slender fingers, even the blue veins on the back of her hands were prominent. After a while, she took out an application form from her pocket, and her smile was uglier than crying.
"Deputy Director, I want to apply for a transfer. I want to leave the dance team."
