Chapter 117 If she hadn't planted strawberries, nothing would have happened.
Song Yuxia watched this farce with a cold eye.
When the police arrived, Granny Zhang seemed to have found a protective umbrella, and her arrogance began to grow.
Zhao Zhifang and his wife were furious at her provocation, but dared not take any further action because of the presence of the police.
The matter was finally brought to an end when both parties were taken away.
Song Yuxia dropped the broom and helped her grandmother into the house.
"Please don't cry, your eyesight is already bad."
She knew what her grandmother was thinking; what Song's mother said had hit the old lady where it hurt.
Grandma already felt like she was a burden to her, and now she must be filled with self-blame, thinking that she had delayed her marriage.
"Grandma, when my parents left me with you, did you also think of me as a burden?"
"Of course not!"
Song Yuxia smiled and held her rough, dry hand.
"I will treat you the way you treat me. Only when I am with my grandmother do I feel like I am not an unwanted child."
The old lady wiped away her tears, her heart filled with heartache and guilt for Song Yuxia.
As things escalated to this point, Song's parents' dissatisfaction with Song Yuxia reached its peak.
The marriage fell through, and the money wasn't in hand, so there was no point in continuing to drag it out.
"Since that's the case, I don't think we need to come back anymore. You can stay in the countryside and take care of your grandmother until she grows old!" Song's mother said sternly.
After saying that, she took Song Yuyao's hand and left.
Song's father stared at Song Yuxia for a moment, then said, "You'd better take care of yourself."
Having fallen out with Song Yuxia this time, it's highly likely he won't come again.
Just pretend this daughter was never born.
Song Yuxia didn't even glance at him; her face showed only indifference.
When the old lady saw the father and daughter who were like strangers, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.
"If you ruin your relationship with your parents like this, what will you do after Grandma passes away?"
Song Yuxia bit her lip, "Does Grandma think that it's enough if I agree to marry Zhao Hui?"
She was willing to make a clean break and cut through the mess, even if it meant sacrificing herself to beg for a little bit of their affection.
"Grandma, don't worry about it. I heard that Grandma Zhao's house is going to be converted into a bed and breakfast. Our house can do it too."
"Converting a guesthouse is free?"
Song Yuxia waved her hand, "I have a salary, I can just try to save it up."
Anyway, she won't leave Changqing Village; she'll stay and take care of her grandmother.
The story of Song Yuxia being forced into marriage was widely circulated in Changqing Village.
It was quickly overshadowed by the dispute between Zhao Zhifang and Granny Zhang.
They were all taken to the police station, and everyone rushed over to ask Grandma Zhao questions.
Grandma Zhao is currently discussing peach packaging with Yan Sui.
These packages are all custom-made. The factory produced several versions according to Yan Sui's requirements, and Yan Sui needs to decide which one to use in the end.
Yan Sui glanced at them and picked out the ones she was satisfied with from the cardboard boxes, making corrections to the details.
"Have you contacted the courier company yet?"
"We've made the contact and agreed on the price."
From packaging to express delivery, Grandma Zhao was in charge of the entire process.
Aunt Ruan was in charge of hiring temporary workers, while Uncle Wang and Old Man Li took on more of the work in the orchard.
After the matter was basically explained, Old Lady Zhao was about to leave when she saw a number of people coming to her door.
Only then did she learn that Zhao Zhifang and his wife had come to Changqing Village to look for Li Jie and had been taken away by the police.
"I overheard them talking about strawberries, is it because of Yan Sui?"
After all, in the entire Changqing Village, only Yan Sui's family grows strawberries.
With a quick glance, Old Lady Zhao spotted Zhao Chunrong, the one who had said those provocative words.
“Yan Sui’s strawberries were all picked long ago. It was that old woman Zhang who was unethical. When she heard that my grandson wanted to eat strawberries, she went to the supermarket and bought a bag of them, deceiving my daughter.”
Zhao Chunrong pursed her lips, "Isn't that still related to Yan Sui? If she hadn't grown strawberries, none of this would have happened."
Yan Sui glanced over and said, "So, according to Grandma, if you get stabbed on the street in the future, you'll blame yourself for being alive, right? If you had died earlier, would anyone have dared to stab you?"
Zhao Chunrong's expression changed drastically; at her age, she was most averse to the word "death."
"You little brat, how dare you curse me!"
She reached out to grab Yan Sui, but was slapped away by Old Lady Zhao.
"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover, does it? If I hear you gossiping about my family again, I'll tear your dog mouth apart!"
Zhao Chunrong glared at her indignantly, "It's not just me saying it, everyone's talking about it! You're so old and you're still acting like a miser, not giving any to your own daughter, are you planning to take the money to your grave? If I were your daughter, I would definitely cut ties with you!"
"Pah!" Old Mrs. Zhao spat at her fiercely. "If you were my daughter, I'd slap your mouth to pieces right now!"
She didn't take Zhao Zhifang's matter to heart at all.
She had heard Zhao Shan talk about the things Li Huai had done before.
If he hadn't been greedy and arrogant, he wouldn't have encountered this situation.
This grandson has been spoiled rotten by Zhao Zhifang and her husband. She doesn't want to manage him, nor can she.
At that moment, Zhao Shan ran over.
"Grandma, my parents are here!"
There was a bright, clear handprint on her face; she had obviously been slapped.
Not to mention Old Lady Zhao, even Yan Sui felt angry when she saw it.
That's incredibly biased.
Yan Sui held her hand. "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Despite it being June, Zhao Shan's hands were unusually cold, her palms damp with cold sweat and trembling slightly.
Zhao Shan bit her lip and whispered, "My parents are unreasonable; they'll cause you trouble."
Yan Sui chuckled, led her into the house, and ignored Zhao Zhifang.
"I'll make you a cup of strawberry-flavored sparkling water."
I also washed a few small cucumbers for Zhao Shan to eat.
"The college entrance exam is in two days, are you nervous?"
Zhao Shan shook her head. "It's alright."
She maintains a calm and composed mindset when facing major exams and is not very nervous.
Yan Sui turned around and spoke to her while preparing the sparkling water.
"After you finish your college entrance exam, you can help me pick peaches."
When the topic of part-time jobs came up, Zhao Shan immediately changed her mind.
"My grandma told me I'll do a good job!"
As soon as Yan Sui opened the strawberry jam, the aroma seemed to grow wings and waft into people's noses.
"It smells so good! Did your sister make this strawberry jam herself?"
"Yes, we couldn't finish all the strawberries, so I made some strawberry jam."
Zhao Shan was envious. So many people online were willing to pay high prices for Yan Sui's strawberries, something that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, yet Yan Sui couldn't finish them all.
Yan Sui placed the sparkling water in front of her, "Try it."
Zhao Shan took a small sip. It was just an ordinary sparkling water, but the strawberry jam made it taste completely different!
"It's so delicious! Sister Yan Sui, your beverage shop would definitely be a huge success!"
Yan Sui laughed heartily at her words, "Alright then, I'll open a beverage shop in Changqing Village later, remember to patronize it."
"Yes!" She nodded very seriously.
Zhao Shan particularly cherished this sparkling water and was reluctant to finish it, sipping it little by little.
Seeing that she liked it, Yan Sui said, "I have a lot of strawberry jam here, I'll give you a jar later."
"Really?" Zhao Shan's eyes lit up. "I couldn't possibly accept that."
Yan Sui patted her head, "It's not something very valuable."
She makes so much strawberry jam that she could eat it all in a year.
Just then, Zhao Zhifang and his wife arrived and shouted at Yan Sui to get out.
Yan Sui told Zhao Shan to stay inside, saying, "I'm going out to meet your parents."
She wanted to see how Zhao Zhifang would try to smear her.
