Li Mei and Su Qiang hadn't returned from the market yet, and Su An had gone out to play again, having long forgotten his mother's instructions.
Meanwhile, while He Ci and Su Ning were still enjoying their time together, things were not so peaceful on the Su family's main branch.
Su Lei explained the origin of the motorcycle under pressure, as everyone had promised He Ci they wouldn't tell anyone. Li Xiaojuan looked at her two children in front of her.
"You two little brats, tell the truth, where did you get this motorcycle and clothes?"
Su Lei repeated what he had just said, "Mom, I already told you, I won this car in a lottery."
Li Xiaojuan picked up a bag. "Okay, then consider the car as something you won in a lottery. As for these clothes and shoes, not only do we have them, but your grandparents do too, and they're all designer brands."
"Don't give me that nonsense. Do you think I don't know how much money you two siblings have? I just asked your grandparents, and they didn't give you any money."
Seeing that Su Lei still wouldn't speak, Su Mao took out his belt. If he didn't have money, he could ask them for it; he was just afraid they would steal it.
“I, Su Mao, a dignified commune secretary, have seen all sorts of monsters and demons. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll beat you to death today.”
No matter how much Su Mao whipped him, Su Lei remained silent, which made Li Xiaojuan, who was watching from the side, feel sorry for him. She was also afraid that her son would steal.
Su Tian couldn't stand it anymore, so she shouted loudly at the people inside the room.
"Stop fighting, all these things were given to us by He Ci."
Su Lei tried to cover Su Tian's mouth, but it was too late. Su Lei was disappointed in her; it seemed he had been beaten for nothing.
"Su Tian, how could you betray your brother-in-law? How am I supposed to face him now?"
Su Tian rolled her eyes at him, "You don't know what's good for you. If it weren't for the fact that you almost got beaten to death by Dad, I wouldn't bother with you."
Su Mao and Li Xiaojuan looked at each other in dismay. They had considered many possible outcomes, even theft, but they never expected this result.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su originally wanted to see what had happened here! Unexpectedly, they heard these words as soon as they entered the house.
"Xiao Lei, is what you're saying true? All those cars and things outside were bought by that son-in-law who moved in with his wife's family?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Su Lei pulled the old man and the old woman into the house.
"Grandpa, Grandma, it's okay to tell you, we're family. Just don't tell anyone else, I'm afraid my brother-in-law will be angry."
Su Lei then looked at Su Tian and said, "Why don't you tell me? I don't know as much as you do."
Su Tian wanted to beat Su Lei to death. What did she mean by saying she knew a lot? He wanted to die and dragged her into it.
"I've told you everything I know. If you don't tell me what you should say, you deserve to be beaten to death."
Su Mao felt that his children were hiding something from them. Where did that son-in-law get the money to buy so many things? If he had money, why did he choose to marry into the family?
"Are you two going to talk or we'll beat you up together?"
Su Mao raised his hand as if to slap her again, but Su Tian was so frightened that she quickly spoke up.
"Weren't you curious about where He Ci came from?"
Su Mao paused, and Li Xiaojuan also looked at Su Tian, indicating that they had known each other for a long time.
“He Ci is someone we brought back; he’s Ning’er’s boyfriend from Gangcheng.”
Grandma Su's face turned very ugly when she heard this. "At such a young age, she's already learning bad habits and all she knows is how to seduce men outside."
Su Lei was unhappy when he heard his grandmother say that about Su Ning. After all, Su Ning was his sister.
"Grandma, how can you say that about my little sister? Even if you don't like her, there's no need to say such hurtful things. After all, she's your own granddaughter."
Li Xiaojuan quickly stepped in to smooth things over. She had been suspicious when she overheard her daughter saying that the son-in-law was from Gangcheng.
"Sweetie, you said He Ci came back with you, so what does his family do?"
Su Tian remained silent, knowing that revealing He Ci's family background would scare them, so Su Lei ended the conversation.
"Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, these things were all gifts from He Ci. Take them if you want, or I'll return them."
"He Ci only bought us things because of my little sister. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't even know who we are!"
It would be foolish not to take something for free. As long as the things came from a clean source, Li Xiaojuan didn't care who gave them to her, as long as they weren't stolen.
