Chapter 145: As a token of my respect, I'll treat you to some soup!

"Mom, Su Mei is learning medicine from grandpa, not enjoying herself. If she can learn medicine well and have a bright future, then I will be the one to enjoy the life, and you and dad will also benefit from it. Why can't you figure it out on this matter?" Huo Jianguo always spoke directly. He would say it out if he thought something was wrong, even if the person on the other side was his mother.

Liu Cuiyun felt bad, but she was reluctant to argue with her son who only came back once a year, so she could only lower her head in grievance:

"I'm not against Su Mei going back to her parents' home, but you only come back once a year, and your father, your grandmother and I miss you every day.

I waited so long for you to come back, but you disappeared for three or five days, and then you left again after you came back. I felt so empty inside. As a mother, how can I not miss my son?

If you're not at home every day, wouldn't I feel bad too?"

"If you want me, just say it. Why do you say such angry words to your son-in-law?" Seeing Liu Cuiyun soften her attitude, Huo Jianguo also softened his heart. After all, she was his mother, and he couldn't really blame her:

"In the next few days, Su Mei and I will go to Su's house during the day, and let Su Mei study medicine with Grandpa Su. In the evening, we will come back to have dinner and rest at home. Will this work?"

"That's fine. Anyway, I can see you when I come back every day!" Although Liu Cuiyun was still not satisfied, Huo Jianguo had already made concessions, so she could only compromise.

Normally, she would not argue with Huo Jianguo, for fear that her words might hurt Huo Jianguo's feelings.

This family is really not peaceful. So many things happened within just a few minutes of entering the house. Su Mei was too lazy to get involved and just lowered her head to eat.

With Huo Jianguo's help, the Huo family was living a comfortable life. The New Year's Eve dinner was served in a decent manner. There were more than ten dishes on the table. Su Mei, who was celebrating the New Year, did not control her food intake. She opened her arms and tried hard. eat.

It's not that she wanted to eat these few bites of food, she just wanted to use food to shut her mouth. Otherwise, with her character of being angry with the sky, the earth, and the air in between, Su Mei was afraid that her words would be too harsh and make these people cry.

She wouldn't stay in this house for too long anyway. For Huo Jianguo's sake, Su Mei didn't want to get too hostile with his family. Many things could be ignored and let go. There was no need to make everyone unhappy.

However, her deliberate forbearance did not bring her peace. Cheng Erxi seemed to deliberately not want Su Mei to have an easy time. She looked at Su Mei eating the food with big mouthfuls and laughed in a sinister way:

"Look at my third sister-in-law. You look so hungry. Is the Su family so poor that they don't even give you food? You wolf down the food as soon as you come back. People who know you would say you went back to your mother's house. If people who don't know you, they would think you were just released from prison.

The Su family is indeed prosperous. People say that the more brothers in the family, the more prosperous the family. However, the Su family has become the poorest family in our village. We, the third child, are still required to help repair the house. Su Mei, you are here every day. When you go home, I also advise your brothers to fight for their reputation.

With so many sons, yet they are in such a mess, they must be all lazy. No wonder your grandfather wanted to pass on his medical skills to you. None of your brothers has any outstanding medical skills?

You and the third child will also have children of your own, so you can’t help your natal brother for the rest of your life? The second sister-in-law is someone who has been here before. I should still advise you on some things! "

"Second sister-in-law, do you think the New Year's Eve dinner made by Qi Niang is not tasty enough?" Su Mei asked suddenly, holding a chicken leg.

Cheng Erxi was completely confused by the sudden change of topic: "When did I ever complain about the food my mother cooked? Don't talk nonsense, my third sister-in-law. The food my mother cooks is delicious."

"It's delicious, but that can't stop your rotten mouth?" Su Mei rolled her eyes at Cheng Erxi. She could tolerate being slandered by others, but she really couldn't tolerate being slandered by the Su family.

Why is the Su family so poor? It is because Su Xuanhu saved the world and kept doing good deeds, which brought down the entire Su family.

While other families were reunited and working together to get rich, Su Mei's brothers were separated as soon as they got married. They all started from scratch and borrowed money to build new yards. All four brothers built new yards after they got married. All the money of the Su family was spent on building the yards. It was normal for them to be poor.

To be honest, my brothers started from scratch and each of them saved enough money to build their own family when they grew up. They are not lazy. They are more hardworking than many people in this village.

As for studying medicine, there were many twists and turns, which caused Su Mei's brothers to lose the opportunity to study medicine. It had nothing to do with diligence.

It was only because Cheng Erxi didn't understand the situation and had a big mouth that followed her rotten heart and kept spouting slanderous words that Su Mei couldn't get used to her.

But she knew her limits and didn't say anything too unpleasant, mainly because today was New Year's Eve and Su Mei didn't want to make things so ugly.

Cheng Erxi boasted that she was the most popular person in the Huo family. Everyone in the family had to give her some respect. However, she could never get any favor from Su Mei. She gritted her teeth in hatred:

"The third brother and sister are really sharp-tongued. I kindly remind you not to affect the couple's relationship in order to help your mother's family. When this woman gets married, her husband's family will still be the main focus.

I just had good intentions. Even if my third sister-in-law doesn't accept my kindness, there's no need to scold me. The Su family is poor to begin with, and they are poor because of laziness. I just told the truth, and your haste won't change this fact."

Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel miserable. Cheng Erxi just couldn't accept this. She felt that she was no worse than Su Mei in any way, but she didn't marry as well as Su Mei, didn't dress as fashionably as Su Mei, and was not as valued as Su Mei in her parents' home.

Seeing someone who is inferior to him in every way but lives so much better than him, Cheng Erxi feels unbalanced and can't help but always want to find a sense of existence in front of Su Mei.

She just couldn't stand seeing Su Mei being happy. She was clearly the most valued daughter-in-law in the family before, so why did she steal all the limelight as soon as that idiot Su Mei came back?

Cheng Erxi's parents have a very serious idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. They would rather leave their property to her father's distant cousin than let her and her sister get involved.

This resulted in Cheng Erxi having a particularly low sense of presence before she got married, so she always wanted to prove herself.

She had finally proven her status in her husband's family and found a strong sense of existence, so she was very sensitive and afraid that others would outshine her.

In the past, she had suppressed her elder sister-in-law, who was always timid in front of her. Now, she wanted to suppress Su Mei as well, so when she talked to Su Mei, she always tried to act like a sister-in-law.

Unfortunately, she chose the wrong direction. Su Mei had just met the original owner's family. She was very satisfied with her parents and brothers. How could she tolerate Cheng Erxi saying bad things about them again and again? She endured it left and right, but Cheng Erxi was unforgiving in every word.

So, Su Mei didn't care whether it was Chinese New Year or not. She picked up the egg drop soup in front of her, stood up and poured it all over Cheng Erxi's head:

"Thank you, sister-in-law. As a token of my respect, I'll treat you to some soup!"
