Chapter 123 Is Integrity More Important Than My Girlfriend?

"Su Mei, please take this ginseng and supplements to Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu is weak and needs to be taken good care of. Qiuqiu is the only girl in our nephew's family, so she is naturally the most precious to us.

It's no wonder that my second sister-in-law is jealous. She gave birth to three sons in succession but failed to give birth to a daughter. It's just that my second sister-in-law has a bad fate and is destined to have no daughter. I sympathize with you. "As Huo Jianguo spoke, he handed the ginseng in his hand to Su Mei.

Su Mei could only sigh in her heart, this was probably the only one in the family who dared to so blatantly say something sarcastic to his second sister-in-law and then say something sarcastic back to her.

Cheng Erxi didn't expect Huo Jianguo to embarrass her like this, and her face turned pale with anger.

Su Mei took the ginseng in her hand and took a look at it. She was sure that it was definitely good stuff. She held the ginseng in front of her sister-in-law Li Shufen and said sincerely:

"Sister-in-law, when I first got married, I was indeed ignorant and too young and naughty, which is why I offended Qiuqiu. I am sorry to Qiuqiu for this.

I know that nothing I do now can make up for the damage done to Qiuqiu, but I still want to make up for Qiuqiu as much as possible.

This ginseng is at least several hundred years old. My sister-in-law takes it, slices it every day, and makes soup for Qiuqiu. After the soup is made, she lets Qiuqiu hold the ginseng in her mouth.

After eating this ginseng in half a month, Qiuqiu will be able to recover at least 70% of his health.

Such good ginseng is rare. When I have the chance in the future, I will find one for Qiuqiu and I will definitely help her recover to her former appearance.

Sister-in-law, please accept it. There are other supplements, which can help Qiuqiu recover a little bit."

Although Qiuqiu was not killed by Su Mei, she had occupied the original owner's body after all. Su Mei couldn't bear the thought of such a young child being weakened by the original owner.

Su Mei had never thought about these things before, but now that she has seen the child, she still hopes to make amends as much as possible, which can also be regarded as atonement for the original owner's sins, so that the original owner can be reborn into a good family and be a good person in the next life.

Although Li Shufen was very wary of Su Mei, she had a gentle personality and was kind to others. Even though she disliked Su Mei, she would not do anything like to hit someone who smiled at her.

Seeing Su Mei's submissive look with low eyebrows, and thinking of Huo Jianguo's help to her family of three over the years, she finally didn't make up her mind to ignore Su Mei, and took the things in Su Mei's hands with a calm expression and a distant tone. said:

"Thank you!"

Although her attitude was cold, Su Mei also understood that this was the greatest respect Li Shufen could give.

Although she wanted to compensate Huo Qiu on behalf of the original owner, she also didn't want to flatter her sister-in-law and her family.

Seeing that Li Shufen was not enthusiastic, Su Mei did not force her. She just took the New Year gift for her eldest brother and sister-in-law from Huo Jianguo and handed it to her eldest brother and sister-in-law politely.

After giving gifts to the eldest brother and his wife, it was the turn of the second brother and his wife. Huo Jianguo bought the same gifts for both brothers and their wives.

He gave fur shoes to both of his brothers. As for things for his two sisters-in-law, Huo Jianguo could not buy them easily, so he gave them cloth coupons that could be exchanged for cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative in town.

Su Mei felt that Huo Jianguo seemed straightforward on the surface, but he was actually very thoughtful.

As a brother-in-law, it was not easy for him to give clothes to his two sisters-in-law, so he directly gave them cloth coupons and let them buy their favorite cloth to make clothes. He really did a good job.

The things for the brother and sister-in-law were the same, but the things given to the nephews and nieces were different. The things Huo Jianguo gave to Qiu Qiu were all supplements, and the things he gave to his three nephews were stationery for reading and writing, including pens, ink, and notebooks.

There are pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but the only thing missing is an inkstone.

Huo Jianguo gave these things to his three nephews, naturally hoping that they would study hard and have a bright future when they grow up.

However, perhaps because the children were still young, they did not understand Huo Jianguo's intention, and the three children all looked depressed when they received the gifts.

The second brother's youngest son, Huo Gang, cried the loudest. While crying, he pointed at the can of maltose in Huo Qiu's hand and said proudly:

"I don't want a pen or a notebook. I want delicious food. Huo Qiu, give me the malt extract in your hand. How can a girl like you eat malt extract? The delicious food in this house should be given to us boys. Hand it over quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Oh my god! Su Mei couldn't imagine that such blatant son-orientation remarks could be uttered by a little kid who was just over four years old and still wearing open-crotch pants.

It is easy to imagine what kind of words the adults in this family usually instill in their children.

"Xiao Gang, what are you talking about? Qiuqiu is your uncle's beloved niece, why can't she eat malted milk?" Cheng Erxi yelled at Huo Gang, then turned around and looked at Huo Qiu with a smile, saying:

"Qiuqiu, you are the elder sister, and you have to give in to your younger brother. Look, your little brother wants to eat malt milk, and you have three cans. Give one to your brother, and I will give you another one later, okay?"

"Second sister-in-law, Qiuqiu is not in good health, you know, these things are given to Qiuqiu by the third brother's wife to replenish her health.

My health is not good and I have been taking medicine all year round. We can't afford these expensive things ourselves.

If Xiaogang wants to eat it, you can just buy him some tomorrow. Why must he take the can in my Qiuqiu's hand?" Although Li Shufen was cowardly, she was still very firm when it came to protecting her daughter.

Cheng Erxi saw Qiuqiu remained silent, but his sister-in-law stood up and immediately became unhappy:

"Sister-in-law, you saw it too. Xiaogang is crying. We are all family. You can't just watch Xiaogang cry and do nothing.

I've already told you that I'll return it to Qiuqiu tomorrow. Why are you being so fussy about it? I won't take advantage of you."

"Second brother's wife, I didn't say you were taking advantage, it's just that the maltose that the third brother's wife bought is different. We can't buy this kind of Shanghai maltose here.

I heard that this kind of malt extract is very sweet and will definitely be good for the baby's body. You can't buy the same one even if you buy it again." No matter what Cheng Erxi said, Li Shufen refused to give in.

Cheng Erxi felt that he had been humiliated, and immediately became furious:

"It's just a can of broken malt milk. Look at what you've become. You don't even have an ounce of backbone. Who is to blame for Huo Qiu's current situation? If it were me, I would never want anything from Su Mei for the rest of my life.

You are so shallow that you can be bought off by a few bottles of maltose!"

Let them quarrel. Su Mei didn't expect that she was dragged into it by Cheng Erxi even though she did nothing. She immediately looked at Cheng Erxi with an unfriendly look.

Li Shufen, on the other hand, did not take Cheng Erxi's words to heart. She lowered her head and said:

"What's backbone? I've never had any backbone in this family. Can backbone be more important than my daughter?"
