Chapter 129: Is this our love bond?
All the good and bad things had been said, and Su Mei had nothing to say. Anyway, Huo Jianguo had already said everything that needed to be said.
It’s just that Su Mei rolled up the sleeves a little higher at her wrists.
She has never been a low-key person. If someone is jealous and keeps staring at her watch, she won't hide it and let the jealous person feel jealous enough.
The lemons on the lemon tree are only sour for you, not for me.
Su Mei even raised her arms and shook them three times proudly, the main purpose of which was to show off. She was not going to kill you, a Liuliumei, with jealousy.
Cheng Erxi may have realized that Su Mei was deliberately flirting with her, and she immediately rolled her eyes in anger.
Although this family was surprised and had all kinds of strange things happen, it did not have much impact on Su Mei's mentality.
After all, she had worked in the emergency room for several years and had seen all kinds of people. Even if she felt a little uncomfortable, she would be able to adjust herself quickly.
There is no need to waste time on herself. As long as nothing unpleasant happens, Su Mei will try her best to live happily.
After the matter was made clear, no one in the room spoke anymore and everyone sat quietly to eat.
After finishing breakfast, the family went out to work and earn work points.
Liu Cuiyun was the only one in the family who didn't have to work in the fields. However, she was actually more tired than others who worked in the fields.
She raised four children by herself, was responsible for the family's food, and did all the housework by herself.
He is less than sixty years old, but his temples are already gray and he looks so old that his waist almost bends to the ground.
Almost everyone in the family had gone out before Liu Cuiyun found two baskets and Huo Fugui put egg noodles and various foods into the baskets.
Liu Cuiyun felt so heartbroken while watching Huo Fugui putting things into the basket.
It wasn't until she saw Huo Jianguo leaving with a big bag on his back that her eyes turned red.
Seeing the young couple walking away with their bags, Liu Cuiyun couldn't help but complain to Huo Fugui:
"This trip to Su Mei's mother's house almost emptied out all the family belongings. The third brother has already prepared everything. Do we really need to add eggs, rice and flour?
"Two baskets of stuff are so big, it makes me so sad just looking at them!"
"You don't feel sorry for anything!" Huo Fugui glared at Liu Cuiyun and said, "Don't you know what happened to those two baskets?
That was sent by Su Mei's parents during the Chinese New Year last year. Every year, the Su family is afraid that Su Mei eats too much and we can't afford to feed her, so they send food to our house in cartons.
But after the Chinese New Year last year, Su Mei followed the third brother to join the army. Su Mei didn’t eat a single bite of these things. It’s not our duty to return them. Don’t try to take advantage of them.”
"How can this be called taking advantage? Doesn't Su Mei have to eat when she goes to the army? The allowance sent back by the third brother this year is far less than in previous years. Why didn't you say anything?" Liu Cuiyun continued with a smirk:
"That bastard, the second oldest, listens to Erxi in everything. He even gave the bracelet that the third oldest bought for me to his mother-in-law.
I thought the third son would marry someone less attractive so that he wouldn't forget his mother after marrying her. But now it seems that it was all in vain. When has he ever been so good to me, his mother? "
"It was you who wanted to marry Su Mei, and you were so stubborn when you married her. Now that it's done, how come you have so many opinions about the daughter-in-law you chose as your own?" Huo Fugui frowned tightly as he spoke, and the wrinkles on his forehead were so thick that they could almost squeeze a mosquito to death.
After hearing what Huo Fugui said, Liu Cuiyun looked around to see that there was no one around, and then she retorted, "It's all your fault. I told him not to join the army, but you insisted on allowing him to go.
If I wasn't afraid that the man would go back on his word and take away the son I had raised with so much effort, would I have hurriedly found a country girl for Jianguo in order to tie him down?"
When the Huo family was forced into marriage by the Su family, it was Liu Cuiyun who immediately accepted the marriage with the Su family and brought Huo Jianguo to marry Su Mei.
Outsiders all thought that Liu Cuiyun was being responsible to the girl.
Only Huo Fugui knew that this was not the case at all. Liu Cuiyun accepted the marriage purely out of selfish motives.
Because the son was not their biological son, Liu Cuiyun was afraid that Huo Jianguo would go out and fool around, find his biological father, and then marry a city girl, so that he would have no worries in the country.
It was just to give Huo Jianguo more care in the countryside that Liu Cuiyun let Huo Jianguo marry Su Mei.
Moreover, Su Mei is Liu Cuiyun's ideal daughter-in-law. She is lazy, stupid, and not pretty. She will definitely not get along well with Huo Jianguo. She will not be like Cheng Erxi, who replaced her mother's position in her son's heart.
Liu Cuiyun just wanted to find a way to tie Huo Jianguo to her side.
Otherwise she would feel uneasy, always afraid that the son she had raised with great difficulty would be recognized by his biological father and abducted by his wife!
She just wanted Huo Jianguo to be closest to her as his mother.
So she wanted to find a country wife for Huo Jianguo, and this wife couldn't be too popular with Huo Jianguo.
Huo Fugui knew this mentality, but he did not agree with it. He sighed at Liu Cuiyun:
"Hey, you really don't know what kind of personality the son you raised is like?
Even if he finds his biological father, he will not ignore us. Jianguo is a man with conscience.
You keep saying that you raise him as your own son, but how can a mother treat her son like this? Just for the position you hold in his heart, you deliberately marry him to a wife who is not so satisfactory.
Others are hoping that the younger generations will live in harmony and happiness, but why are you unwilling to have peace? Will you be satisfied only if the second and third child's families become the same as the eldest child's?
Now that Su Mei has gotten better, that's a great thing. Please don't add more to Jianguo. Everything is fine now."
"I just feel uneasy. The second child is my biological child, but he can be so ungrateful. If the third child knew the truth, I don't know where he would put me, his mother!" At the end, Liu Cuiyun actually cried.
She always thought of the pair of bracelets stolen by Huo Jiandang, and felt cold in her heart.
Huo Fugui couldn't bear to see Liu Cuiyun wiping her tears. When he saw her crying, he no longer had the heart to argue with her. He waved his hand, picked up the hoe and walked out, muttering:
"Why are you crying? Forget it, there's no point in arguing with an old woman like you.
I have to go to work quickly. If you keep doing this, when the third brother finds out the truth and becomes upset, you will realize what regret is. "
Seeing Huo Fugui leaving the house, Liu Cuiyun tightened her grip on the edge of his clothes. She just wanted the son she raised to put her first...
What's wrong with her?
.......
While the old couple was arguing in the yard for a long time, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei had already arrived at the river where Huo Jianguo had rescued Su Mei from the river.
The village where Huo Jianguo lives is called Xiaogang Village, and the village where Su Mei's family lives is called Dagang Village.
Dagang Village and Xiaogang Village are separated by this river, which is called Gangcun River.
When the two of them walked across the wooden bridge over the river, Su Mei's mind unconsciously flashed the scene where Huo Jianguo pulled the original owner out of the bottom of the river.
She couldn't help but tease Huo Jianguo with bad taste:
"Do you think this place is our love river?"
