Besides, the family also caught a large yellow croaker. Although my mother-in-law didn't say how many kilograms it was, she sounded like she had caught quite a lot.
It would cost at least a thousand yuan. If a family isn't struggling financially, who would care about such a large sum?
"Yes, yes, you should take good care of your health."
Li Xue smiled at Su Luo. Compared to her husband's safe return home, everything else was trivial.
Liu Xiaohua smiled and looked at Su Luo with gentle eyes, saying, "Go back and rest. Your dad and brother had a stroke of good luck today. They caught a big yellow croaker and made a fortune."
Liu Xiaohua told Su Luo the good news so that she could rest and recover during her postpartum period.
Su Luo nodded happily and went back to her room with peace of mind.
After washing up, Su Dahai and his two sons went to the kitchen to eat brown sugar eggs to warm themselves up.
While eating, Su Dahai said, "I think I heard A Luo's voice when I was taking a shower."
Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo both nodded in agreement.
"Dad, we heard it too. A'Luo should be about to give birth. Why is she coming back at this time?"
Su Chengguo slurped up an egg in one go, asking questions as she did so.
My sister is pregnant and about to give birth. It's too dangerous for her to go back to her parents' home at this time. Could it be that she's been mistreated by her husband's family?
Su Chenggong looked up at Li Xue, and after exchanging a glance with her, Su Chenggong frowned.
My sister has indeed returned, but her condition seems to be bad.
If it were a good thing, his wife wouldn't show any sympathy. His brother-in-law, Yi Guohai, was a soldier, and his wife always looked envious whenever he talked about that man.
“The Yi family is a bunch of scoundrels. They don’t want A-Luo anymore. A-Luo just gave birth yesterday and they kicked her back. They said they don’t recognize marriage without a marriage certificate. If things really get out of hand, A-Luo will be the one who suffers.”
Liu Xiaohua's eyes reddened. She hadn't even had a chance to talk about it yet, and now that she was talking about it, her nose was getting sore.
Su Dahai frowned and thought for a while before he understood what he had just heard.
Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo both looked grim.
"Mom, the Yi family really doesn't take us seriously at all. How can they bully us like this?"
Su Chenggong felt uneasy, but his impulsive heart calmed down in just a second.
Two years ago, Su Luo was only sixteen. She was too young to get a marriage certificate before she married him. They said she would wait until she was twenty to get the certificate.
She gave birth to her child this year when she was eighteen, but the Yi family has already changed their minds and doesn't want her anymore.
Yi Guohai has a military rank. Since ancient times, the common people have not fought with officials, because there is no good ending to fighting. If there is no satisfactory outcome after making a fuss, then what is the point of making a fuss?
"I think Yi Guohai has probably found someone better."
Su Dahai frowned. When Yi Guohai proposed marriage, he felt that the gap between the two families was too large, and that a woman marrying into a higher social class would not have a good life.
But Yi Guohai is a talented man, and who wouldn't want their daughter to marry well?
I had expected to suffer, but I never imagined the Yi family would go so far as to abandon me so easily.
"Remember this grudge for now. Things change, and a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Let our daughter come back."
Su Dahai's thoughts churned within him before he finally made a decision.
Yi Guohai is at the peak of his power now, and causing trouble now will only lead to a bad end. But life has its ups and downs, so it will be more effective to kick him while he's in trouble in the future.
It's good that my daughter is back. She's still young and it won't be hard for her to find someone else in the future.
"Mom, when will A-Luo be back?"
Su Chenggong recalled his experience at sea and looked at Liu Xiaohua to ask her a question.
"I've been back for a few hours, probably not long after noon."
Liu Xiaohua answered casually, saying that they had already eaten lunch by then.
I don't know the exact time; we don't have a clock at home, so I just estimate it.
Anyway, I know roughly how long it takes each day, so my estimations won't be wrong.
“A-Luo brought the child back at that time. She saved our lives. A-Luo is our family’s lucky star.”
Su Chengguo recalled the dragon shadow she had witnessed and was filled with awe.
What a coincidence! When my sister came back, they saw that the weather had changed and decided not to return, hoping for a better opportunity.
But by the time they tried to return, they had missed their chance and nearly perished.
It was as if a divine dragon had protected them, dispelling the thunderclouds and gales, and they returned safely to shore, even hauling in a net full of large yellow croakers—all of this was unbelievable.
“A-Luo has been at home since she was little. Everything at home is ordinary. Her daughter is lucky. She brought us good luck when she came home. It’s all over the internet. She’s definitely a reincarnation of a lucky star. The Yi family doesn’t want her, but we do. Our family is just missing a daughter. Our four boys are very naughty. If we raise a daughter, we won’t have to worry about shoes in the future.”
Su Chengguo was quick-witted and spoke fast. After he finished speaking, he realized that he hadn't discussed it with his wife, Zhou Chunmei. He looked at Zhou Chunmei and touched his head embarrassedly: "Chunmei, do you agree to us having another daughter?"
Zhou Chunmei injured her body when she gave birth to her second child, and the doctor said it would be difficult for her to conceive again. Indeed, she has not conceived again in the past three years, and they wanted a daughter.
Even with family planning policies, people would still have to have another child if they could conceive.
Looking at Su Chengguo's grinning face, Zhou Chunmei rolled her eyes and said, "I got a daughter for free. If I have any objections, you have to ask A Luo if she agrees first."
"That's right, we should ask A-Luo first."
Su Chengguo realized this too late.
Su Dahai's expression softened considerably.
"If A-Luo is willing, we are happy to raise her."
Li Xue winked at Su Chenggong.
Su Chenggong smiled and said, "I have no objection."
It's impossible for an older brother not to feel heartbroken when his younger sister encounters something like this.
But now he is not only a brother, he also has another identity: husband and father.
However, he was very gratified that his wife was gentle, reasonable, and accepting.
"Your parents aren't so old that they can't move. They can still support their own daughter. It's not up to you two brats."
Su Dahai also said jokingly.
When a family is harmonious and peaceful, everyone has the energy to do anything; a harmonious family brings prosperity.
As the head of the family, he was not senile.
In this situation, it's perfectly reasonable for the son and daughter-in-law to accept their daughter and child back to live with them. As parents, they should be the ones worrying about the child's affairs.
"We'll talk about these things later. You've had a long day. Eat and get some rest. Our family won't be going out to sea for the next few days. We'll all be resting."
Su Dahai spoke after eating a whole bowl of brown sugar and eggs.
They all know the important things in their hearts; the rest can be discussed between the couples when they get back to their rooms.
"I'll listen to Dad."
Su Chenggong pulled Li Xue back into the house.
Su Chengguo also pulled Zhou Chunmei aside and whispered, "Chunmei, you have no idea I almost didn't make it back today... Waaah..."
Su Chengguo wanted to go back inside to talk, but he couldn't hold back his emotions when he pulled Zhou Chunmei along. His last act of defiance was to cry as he stepped out of the kitchen.
Zhou Chunmei knew there were things she didn't know, but she didn't expect them to be so serious. She patted Su Chengguo's waist to comfort him and said, "I know, I know."
After her son and daughter-in-law left, Liu Xiaohua looked at Su Dahai with worry and inquiry in her eyes. Why didn't they return to port earlier today? What kind of risks did they encounter at sea?
