Chapter 291
"Why didn't you tell me that your daughter was the top scorer in the high school entrance exam?"
Wang Dachui said as he held his bowl of rice and stared at the papaya shreds advertisement on TV.
Liu Xu's hand, which was helping him pick up some food, froze because of his sudden question.
She put down her chopsticks and said, "I only found out about this recently. We haven't been in touch for a long time. According to her age, she shouldn't be taking the high school entrance exam until next year."
Wang Dachui became even more interested. "So not only did she become the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, but she also skipped two grades. What's wrong with you two, mother and daughter? With such good results, she should have come to tell you the good news."
Liu Xu thought about what happened in the theater before. It was because of Su Miao that the leader had a problem with her and transferred her to another position. The prestigious position that originally belonged to her was given to someone with connections!
Then she said in a disgusted tone:
"She's just like her father, both have no conscience. She never listened to me before, and she became even worse after I divorced her father. She doesn't even give me face in front of others."
This time, Wang Dachui didn't go along with her like he usually did. Instead, he said in a slightly reproachful tone, "She's still a child. It's normal for her to have opinions about you because of the influence of your ex-husband. As a mother, you should try to win her over as much as possible!"
Liu Xu heard the scream and screamed:
"I'm going to win her over? How is that possible? You don't know that people with the surname Su are completely devoid of humanity. Su Miao has perfectly imitated this. Wasn't Zhao Di just... "
Before Liu Xu could finish her words, Wang Dachui interrupted her: "Alright! Stop talking about your disappointing family! I originally thought your family was as smart and elegant as you, but I didn't expect them to be all idiots!
Your brother has squandered so much money! Ha! I never thought he'd have the nerve to embezzle public funds.
You said it would be much better if he gave me the money, so he wouldn't be cheated out of it and end up in jail for the rest of his life!"
In the past, if anyone dared to speak so highly of her family in front of Liu Xu, she would have fought back.
But things are different now. Ever since Liu Ming and Liu Zhaodi caused such a terrible disaster, Wang Dachui has become extremely disgusted with them. As a result, he is no longer as fond of her as when they first got married. She often has to read his mood and be careful.
Seeing her keep her head down and remain silent, Wang Dachui softened his tone again. "Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Your daughter is different from them. She's smart and clever. How can mother and daughter hold grudges overnight? When you have time, buy her more gifts and visit her. She'll naturally get along with you."
Seeing that he was always trying to get her closer to her daughter, Liu Xu asked cautiously, "Dachui, you knew I had a daughter when we first met. We were all fine before, so why are you suddenly so concerned about her?"
Wang Dachui wiped his greasy mouth from chewing pig's trotters and sneered, "Oh! They looked down on me when I was poor, and now that I'm rich they still look down on me! Why? It's because I haven't been to school, so they laugh at me for being uneducated!"
I just don't accept it! Now I have a beautiful, well-educated and sensible wife, isn't she better than those yellow-faced wives in their family?
If I had a daughter who topped the high school entrance exam... no... maybe even topped the college entrance exam! Then no one would dare look down on me anymore!"
Seeing his increasingly fanatical attitude, Liu Xu knew that she had to go this time.
Wang Dachui is the one who cares the most about people saying he is uneducated, and he cares so much that he gets angry at the slightest thing.
She had noticed this when she was performing with the team, so she took advantage of his interests and hooked up with him, kicking out Section Chief Wang and becoming Mrs. Wang.
Now she has a car to ride when she goes out, a nanny at home, she can watch movies and TV as she pleases, and she doesn't have to go to work and look at her boss's face. After getting used to such a life, it is impossible for her to go back to being "Comrade Liu", so no matter whether it works or not, she has to go if Wang Dachui asks her to.
The next day, Liu Xu came to Su Ji according to the address she had inquired about.
Su Huizheng moved two boxes of shredded papaya over and placed them behind the cash register. She said to her brother, "Every batch is sold out right now. We can't keep any inventory. I heard from Miaomiao that she bought an automatic slicing machine. It will be much faster when we cut the strips."
"That's great! I heard that those big factories all use machines. One machine can replace 20 workers. I didn't expect that we can use it too."
Su Yu helped her arrange the shredded papaya, then turned around and saw a customer coming in. He greeted them, "Hello, may I ask...ah! Auntie..."
Suddenly, his sister nudged him on the waist. He immediately reacted and changed his tone: "Aunt Liu, what do you want to eat?"
Liu Xu had been married into the Su family for 12 years, so naturally she recognized them both. Moreover, she had seen them on TV and knew that they were now employees here.
She looked around the bustling shop and asked, "Where's Su Miao? I'm looking for her."
"Um...Miaomiao is not here, and my uncle is not here either."
Liu Xu immediately frowned and said, "Did Su Yuanzheng teach you to say that? I am Su Miao's mother. It is only natural for me to see her. Call her out quickly."
Su Hui replied, "Aunt Liu, my uncle and Miaomiao are really not here. What do you want? We can help pass on the message."
Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, maybe Su Miao really wasn't there. Liu Xu cursed inwardly for wasting time and turned away without saying a word.
Su Yu felt puzzled and asked his sister, "Why is she here? Is she here to see Miaomiao? Is the thing she is holding a gift?"
Several neighbors in the store noticed Liu Xu and were wondering why this elegantly dressed woman came into the store without eating and left with a sullen face.
Someone who was close by heard Su Yu's words and asked curiously, "Ayu, who was that just now? Who came to look for Miaomiao?"
"I think she's pretty. Could she be Miaomiao's mother?"
Su Yu nodded and replied, "It's Miaomiao's mother. I don't know why she came all of a sudden. I haven't seen her visit Miaomiao since she divorced my uncle."
The neighbors began to talk.
"It's true. It seems Miaomiao inherited all the good qualities of her parents, that's why she looks so pretty."
"Oh no! I think she just wants to go back to her husband now that her family is doing well!"
"This is human nature, right? A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. If we can remarry, wouldn't it be great for Miaomiao to have both her parents?"
"What's good about that? Didn't you see? She always makes a face when her two nephews and nieces talk to her. She doesn't look like a good person. Besides, if the thing in her hand is really for Miaomiao, she can't leave it in the store even if Miao is not here. She just picked it up and left. It's obvious that she is not sincere."
"But she's dressed well. She doesn't look like she's after money."
…
Su Yu and Su Hui couldn't figure out what was going on after listening to the neighbors' discussions. They had to wait until Uncle Shi and Miaomiao came back and tell them about this matter.
