Chapter 122: Every family has a big drama

This apology is quite good.

The mother-in-law has personally said she's sorry, and if Su Mei continues to care about it, it would seem that she is mean and doesn't even care about her mother-in-law.

Liu Cuiyun also said that Huo Xiaoju was outspoken, implying that she tacitly acknowledged that what Huo Xiaoju said was true.

But there are some mistakes, which Su Mei can recognize.

There are some blames that she cannot take. Once she does, she will be branded as an unfilial person for the rest of her life and will never be able to turn things around in this village.

When Grandpa Huo got married, he was already terminally ill. Grandpa Huo even came to see him. Grandpa Huo said that Grandpa Huo was as ripe as the fruit on the tree, and it was time for him to run out of energy.

At that time, the Huo family was unwilling to give up and sent Grandpa Huo to a big hospital in the city, but the big hospital refused to admit Grandpa Huo. The doctor in the city also said that Grandpa Huo's life span had come to the end and there was little point in hospitalizing him.

So the grandfather of the Huo family had already reached the end of his life. After the original owner married into the family, she rarely even saw this grandfather.

Now Huo Xiaoju actually wants to blame Su Mei for her grandfather's death. Isn't this pure nonsense?

If Su Mei were to get such a reputation, she would never be able to hold her head up high in her life. As a person of the older generation, Liu Cuiyun should be very clear about how much damage such a reputation would cause to young people.

If such things are not sorted out clearly, and the couple meets a sensible husband, perhaps they can still make it work. But if they meet a man who is confused, this matter can become the fuse of a quarrel between the couple at any time.

Su Mei didn't know what Liu Cuiyun was thinking about to cover up such a serious matter so lightly, but she recognized the seriousness of the matter and naturally would not let it go so quietly.

After sorting out her thoughts, Su Mei walked up to Liu Cuiyun, bowed deeply to her mother-in-law, and then said calmly:

"How can mother apologize to a kid like me? It's me who let you down. I didn't do well in the past, and that's why you worried so much.

But mother, no matter how ignorant I was, I was not so bad as to make an old man in the family angry to the point of death. Grandpa was already terminally ill before I got married, and everyone in Xiaogang Village knew about it.

I don’t know why Xiaoju wants to blame me for grandpa’s death. Does she mean that grandpa was killed by me?

The new China has been established for almost 30 years, and the country has been vigorously promoting the elimination of feudal superstitions. Xiaoju is already in junior high school, and she is still doing the magic tricks. I'm afraid it's not acceptable."

It's just an apology, Su Mei calmly apologized to Liu Cuiyun. She had already bowed and apologized, and now she could speak her mind, and no one could say anything after that.

In the past, whenever Liu Cuiyun apologized to Su Mei, Su Mei would happily accept it. This was the first time that Su Mei threw such a teasing apology back at her. She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that her mother stopped talking, Huo Xiaoju thought that Su Mei had wronged her mother, and she immediately became happy:

"You've always been an unlucky star, and you don't let people say it. It's true that my grandfather is sick, but how come he was alive and well before you married into the family? We had a funeral three months after you came into the family. Isn't this a nemesis?"

"Bang!" Huo Xiaoju had just finished speaking when the deaf old lady sitting in the corner threw the teacup at her. The porcelain cup fell to the ground, made a few circles, and made a crisp sound.

"Silly girl, when your grandfather died, he was paralyzed in bed for three years. He cried in pain every day, and every night he hated himself for not dying.

It took three years for him to finally get rid of it. It was a happy funeral, a good thing. If I, an old woman, got sick one day, I wouldn't want to delay it that long.

This is a great thing for your grandfather, but when it comes to you, it becomes Su Meik's. I'm eighty years old, and I don't have such an idea.

The great man said that we should get rid of feudal superstitions. Although my grandmother was not well educated, she knew that she had to follow the party and that the great man's words must be correct.

If you question even the words of a great man, then grandma will be the first to disapprove. If you continue to talk nonsense, grandma will report you!"

Although the old lady was hard of hearing, she heard everything Huo Xiaoju said clearly. It was probably because Huo Xiaoju had a really loud voice, so the sound of the quarrel was easier to understand.

Su Mei didn't expect that the old lady would stand up and speak for her at this time. She couldn't help but give the old lady a grateful look.

However, Su Mei could understand the old lady's behavior. The more people suffered in the old society, the more they admired great men. In the hearts of their generation, great men were truly the sun on the Golden Mountain.

It was the great man who saved them from suffering. In their eyes, everything the great man said and did was absolutely right.

They say long live the great man, and in their hearts, the great man is more important than their family.

That's why the old lady got so angry after hearing what Huo Xiaoju said.

Since the oldest elder in the family had spoken, Huo Xiaoju didn't dare to say anything anymore. She just kept her head down angrily, obviously not convinced.

Seeing the quarrel gradually calm down, the second son's wife Cheng Erxi, who had probably seen enough of the excitement, made a flashy appearance as a peacemaker:

"Hey, this family finally got together, why are they arguing so fiercely? Family members should tolerate each other, what's there to be unhappy about?

It gives me a headache to see you like this. I also have three sons. If they were like you, quarreling endlessly during the New Year, I would be so upset!

It is still less of a worry for the eldest brother and sister-in-law. They only have Huo Qiu as their daughter. When Huo Qiu grows up and gets married, the eldest brother and sister-in-law can live in their own world behind closed doors. Life will be so peaceful then.

My second son and I have a miserable life. With three sons, we don’t know how much worries we will have in the future. You guys should stop arguing. It’s scaring me!

Third daughter-in-law, you have already picked out gifts for everyone in your family. Take them out quickly so that I and your three nephews can see the world."

Two out of three sentences of this second daughter-in-law are about her three precious sons. On the surface, she is envious of the eldest sister-in-law for having only one daughter, but in fact, every sentence she says is criticizing her sister-in-law for not being able to give birth to a son.

The eldest sister-in-law was obviously used to swallowing her anger, and facing the sarcasm of the second son's wife, she could only hug her daughter Huo Qiu tightly and sulk.

As for the eldest brother Huo Jianjun, he buried his head in his crotch. Although he felt sorry for his wife who could not have children anymore, he also thought it was shameful not to have a son.

So when he saw his wife and daughter being wronged, this country man could only keep quiet and not dare to even fart.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became even weirder...
