Liu Ping was startled by the noise in the room and dropped her hand unconsciously.
"Sister-in-law, who is that in there?"
Just as she was about to get the money, she was suddenly interrupted. Ma Hongxia was furious and said angrily, "It was Gao Man. I wonder what she knocked over with her clumsy hands again."
“…”
After saying this, Ma Hongxia suddenly realized that something was wrong. What if Liu Ping disliked Gao Man and didn't want to marry her? She had finally found a sucker who was willing to spend money to marry Gao Man.
So she quickly added, "But this girl in our family is very obedient. It doesn't matter if she is beaten or scolded. If she doesn't suit your needs at home, you can beat her severely."
Liu Ping was a little embarrassed. "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Gao Man is married into my family, so I naturally have to treat her like my own daughter."
"Haha, yes, yes."
Ma Hongxia agreed with him, but what she was thinking in her heart was why didn't Liu Ping take out the money quickly?
Finally, Liu Ping's hand reached into her arms again, and Ma Hongxia's eyes lit up again.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me that grandma was coming so I could tidy up?"
Su Man held onto the door frame, her face pale.
She was so weak that it took her several breaths to finish a sentence.
Liu Ping was shocked when she saw Su Man's expression. "What happened to Gao Man?"
“…”
Ma Hongxia was speechless.
The truth must not be told. If the Wang family knew that Gao Man wanted to commit suicide, they would definitely not dare to take her.
Who would want a wife who turns into a corpse if they don’t look at her at all?
Ma Hongxia glared at Su Man fiercely, then turned around and said with a smile, "She caught a cold a few days ago and has a slight fever. Don't worry."
As she spoke, she winked at Su Man, fearing that she would say something wrong.
Su Man was very cooperative. She smiled weakly and said with a weak breath, "Yes, I am... cough cough cough..."
Before she could finish her words, she let out a deafening cough so loud that it almost made her cough out her lungs.
Seeing this, Liu Ping became more and more restless and her heart was in turmoil.
Could this be tuberculosis?
"Sister-in-law, the girl is so seriously ill, why don't I take her to the town hospital this morning?"
"Ah? She's not sick, no, she just has a minor illness, not..."
Ma Hongxia was speechless and couldn't make out what was going on after struggling for a long time.
The more she acted like this, the more suspicious Liu Ping felt. She insisted, "The less serious the illness, the worse it is to wait. If it turns into a serious illness, it will be difficult to treat. Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll take the girl there tomorrow. You don't have to worry."
Having said that, Ma Hongxia didn't know what to say anymore. She could only smile stiffly and said, "Then I'll trouble my in-laws."
Liu Ping made an appointment to meet tomorrow and then went back.
-
After sending Liu Ping away, Ma Hongxia pointed at Su Man's nose and started to curse, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? How could I raise such an ungrateful person like you to ruin your mother's life!"
"So, you raised me just for the bride price?" Su Man asked back.
Ma Hongxia choked up, she was furious, "If you dare to say anything nonsense tomorrow, I will send you to the hair salon in the city!"
Just as he finished speaking, Gao Shengli stuck his head out of the house and said, "I heard that Xiao Fang from the next village can earn more than 100 yuan a month at the hair salon. She should send Gao Man there too."
Although Gao Man is Gao Shengli's sister, he never calls Gao Man "sister" and always calls her by her name.
In his opinion, Gao Man's existence is a tool for him to make money and marry a wife.
Since it is a tool, it should naturally play its maximum value without considering her feelings at all.
When Ma Hongxia heard Gao Shengli's words, instead of refutation, she smiled and said, "My son is really smart."
Turning to Suman, she said viciously, "Did you hear me? If this marriage is off, you'll just have to wait!"
"Coo."
Just then, the chicken in the chicken coop crowed, and Gao Shengli at the door urged, "Mom, ignore her. Hurry up and stew the chicken. I haven't eaten meat for a month."
Ma Hongxia hesitated a little, "This is a hen. If it's not stewed, it can still lay eggs."
"I don't want eggs, I want meat!"
Gao Shengli is already 16 years old, but he still acts like a child. He will throw a tantrum if he is not satisfied until Ma Hongxia agrees.
Ma Hongxia was helpless, "Okay, okay, mom will make chicken soup for you right away."
“…”
Su Man watched this scene coldly and felt that Ma Hongxia was stupid.
If you really love your child, you shouldn't let him be so lawless and unable to distinguish between good and evil.
Spoiling a child is like killing him. If you don't punish him now, you will suffer consequences later.
-
Her son wanted to eat it, so Ma Hongxia killed the chicken and bled it very skillfully.
The spatula stirred the big black iron pot, and the aroma filled the air.
Gao Shengli was so anxious when he smelled the meat, "Mom, I want to eat the thigh, give it to me quickly."
Ma Hongxia smiled indulgently, "I know, I know. I've always given you chicken thighs. Bring me a bowl and I'll serve it to you."
"Why!"
Gao Shengli turned around to get the bowl, but was startled by Su Man who suddenly appeared.
He stood in front of the stove and said, "What are you doing here? You don't have a place!"
Su Man chuckled, "It's not your place."
"What did you say? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Gao Shengli has a bad temper and will resort to violence if he is unhappy.
Su Man was not afraid at all. She faced him and said, "Fight me if you can. Let's see if the Wang family will still give you the betrothal gift if you hurt me."
Gao Shengli was stunned.
It was not just because his soft spot was touched, but also because Gao Man today had a deterrent power that he had never seen before.
