Ye Beiping was taken aback upon hearing this.
Opening her eyes in the dark room, she asked in surprise, "Did Mom and my sister talk about this?"
"No, not at all," Su Xinyi replied truthfully, "It's just a feeling."
Ye Beiping was also helpless. He should have thought of this a long time ago. He turned around and gently hugged Su Xinyi to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'll find a time to explain it to them. It's almost Chinese New Year and everyone should be happy."
"Mmm," Su Xinyi could only reply, but she was still a little worried.
...
Early in the morning.
Although Ye Beiping said yesterday that he didn't need to come to see them off, everyone still came early to see them off.
Even Su Qingwen, the father-in-law, and Min Yuehua, the mother-in-law, came over after they found out.
Ye Beiping, the son-in-law, had originally planned to visit his parents on his way back today.
Although he had already prepared and sent over the New Year's gifts, he should still say goodbye before leaving. Ye Beiping certainly wouldn't skimp on the formalities.
“Beiping, please be careful on your way back,” Su Qingwen said earnestly. “If you get tired while driving, rest by the roadside for a while. Don’t rush back. There are still two weeks until the New Year, so you have plenty of time.”
"Okay, don't worry, Dad, I'll be careful."
As he spoke, Ye Beiping took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, pulled Su Qingwen aside, and said softly, "Dad, this is from Xinyi. It's not much, just a thousand yuan. I hope you and Mom can have a good New Year."
Upon seeing the money wrapped in newspaper, Su Qingwen refused without saying a word.
"No, no. We have the money for the New Year, you can keep it for yourselves."
Ye Beiping had no choice but to smile and say, "We have money for the New Year. This is for you two. We're usually busy with business and don't have a chance to visit you. We'll be back for a month or so this New Year. If anything happens, you'll have money to rely on."
He thought this through very well.
Su Qingwen's family is now basically out of money and supplies. The fact that they didn't incur any debts before because of Su Ze's situation was all thanks to Ye Beiping.
They basically live on the salaries of two people.
Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua both plan to buy less meat during the Spring Festival this year. They only have a few hundred yuan left, and they also need to give gifts and red envelopes, not to mention Su Xinwan's tuition fees after the New Year. These are all expenses.
Finally, after Ye Beiping's persistent persuasion, Su Qingwen accepted the thousand yuan.
"Then consider this a loan. I'll pay you back once things settle down at home."
"Okay, okay." Ye Beiping knew that Su Qingwen cared about his reputation, so he readily agreed with a smile.
Everything was arranged, and the items were loaded onto the vehicle.
Ye Beiping, Tao Qiuyan, and Ye Xiaoxin all got on the bus and kept waving to the people outside.
Finally, Min Yuehua held Su Xinyi's hand and choked up, saying, "Xinyi, you must be careful when you go to Pingba Village. Don't go out unless necessary. Now that you're pregnant, the roads are hard to walk on, so be careful."
"Mmm." Su Xinyi saw her mother's red eyes and she also choked up a little.
The most heartbroken was Su Xinwan, who held Su Xinyi's hand, tears streaming down her face: "Sister..."
Tears streamed down her face, and she choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence.
This reminded Su Xinyi of when she first arrived in Pingba Village, and her family had seen her off in the same way.
Thinking of the past, Su Xinyi couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for Su Xinyi, Su Qingwen could only step forward and pull Min Yuehua and Su Xinwan aside: "Alright, they're all waiting in Beiping. Going back for the New Year isn't like a life-or-death separation. It'll only be a month or two at most. Don't make it so ugly."
Upon hearing this, Min Yuehua also stopped crying.
A lot has happened in the past six months, especially after Su Ze went to jail, Min Yuehua seems to have started to pay more attention to her two daughters.
Although the conditions had not improved, Su Xinwan, who had never asked about Su Xinwan before when she went home, began to inquire about her with concern.
They even started to worry about their grades, constantly talking about going to university.
The old black Volkswagen Santana slowly started and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Su Qingwen opened the newspaper in his hand and placed it in front of Min Yuehua, saying, "This was just given to me by Beiping. He said it's for us to use during the New Year. Keep it safe."
Min Yuehua was stunned by the stack of bright green banknotes. She never expected that her son-in-law, whom she had previously looked down upon, would remember the difficult times her family had gone through during the Lunar New Year.
I felt really bad.
This scene was also witnessed by Su Xinwan, who cried even harder as the car drove away.
