Seeing how angry Old Lady Xia was, Xiao Wu wanted to clap his hands and cheer, but Sui Chengxiao carried him away.
The two of them walked a distance away before Sui Chengxiao put Xiaowu down and walked away.
"Uncle Sui, am I getting too heavy?" Xiao Wu said to Sui Chengxiao who was panting.
Sui Chengxiao: This kid, what nonsense is he talking about?
"It's okay, it's mainly because I'm old." Sui Chengxiao rubbed Xiaowu's head and comforted him self-righteously.
"No wonder, I told you I'm quite thin." Xiao Wu looked at his little hands.
Sui Chengxiao: Let’s not say anything about this kid.
"Is that the grandmother who separated from you just now?" Sui Chengxiao decisively changed the subject.
"Yeah." Xiao Wu was still furious when he thought of Old Lady Xia. "How could she say that about my parents? She's so evil! I won't recognize her anymore."
"You can say this at home, but you can't say it outside." Sui Chengxiao said hurriedly, looking around and feeling relieved when he was sure that there was no one around.
Although he was a bit arrogant, he knew clearly how harsh this era was on women.
The things he did when he was young were much more serious than the two mild words Xiaowu said, but in the end, whenever he returned home, everyone would say, "A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold."
Even the elders in the clan would at most say that you are young and naive and that you will be fine when you get older.
However, if Xiaowu's words were to get out, it would affect her for the rest of her life. If a girl disrespects her elders, it could be fatal.
Sui Chengxiao thought of an old friend of his. She had only contradicted her elders a few times, and the elders had started a commotion. Her original marriage was called off, and she was later married off to an old widower by her father. In the end, the widower and his son beat her to death...
In this world, men are lenient, but women are harsh...
"I know, I won't tell anyone outside." Xiao Wu also thought of something and responded in a low voice, but when he thought of the curse from Old Lady Xia, he couldn't help but redden his eyes.
Sui Chengxiao hurriedly comforted her, and the old man and the young walked all the way, and Sui Chengxiao talked all the way.
Xiaowu said nothing, but just cried in grievance.
Sui Chengxiao: So everything I said was in vain.
When Xiaowu and Sui Chengxiao came back, Xia Weian just came out to look for Gu Xu and Lu Huailin.
Everyone saw Xiaowu coming back crying.
Lu Huailin strode over and grabbed Xiaowu's hand, "Sister Xiaowu, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I will help you get revenge."
When Xiaowu heard what Lu Huailin said, she cried even louder.
Gu Xu also ran over and looked at Sui Chengxiao, as if to say, how do you take care of this child? Such a quiet kid has been made to cry by you.
Sui Chengxiao: This moment is particularly embarrassing.
Xia Weian also stepped forward and picked up Xiaowu. Xiaowu hugged Xia Weian's neck tightly, and Xia Weian patted Xiaowu's back gently.
"Xiaowu, Dad wants to know what happened. Let Uncle Sui tell Dad, okay?" Xia Weian asked in a gentle voice.
Xiaowu nodded while crying.
Sui Chengxiao repeated what he had heard at the village entrance, including Old Lady Xia's curse...
Xia Weian's face was as dark as ink.
Lu Huailin also had a cold face. He actually made Xiaowu cry. Humph, he was looking for death!
"Xiao Wu, don't cry. Do you think what she said is true?"
"No!" Xiaowu answered immediately.
"That's enough. Why should you be sad for so long just because of two lies told by others?" Xia Weian soothed him gently.
Xiaowu blinked. She felt that what her father said made sense, but she was still very angry.
"Are you angry?" Xia Weian asked.
"Yeah." Xiaowu nodded.
"If we're angry, we can fight back in other ways." Xia Weian tapped Xiaowu's nose, "Dad promises you that their family will be the most unlucky in our village."
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, "Really?"
"Really." Xia Weian smiled, "Dad won't lie to Xiaowu."
"Dad is so nice."
"Okay, Xiaowu, go find your second sister, wash up and go back to your room to sleep." Xia Weian put Xiaowu on the ground.
"Okay, Dad." Xiao Wu responded, then looked at Lu Huailin embarrassedly after realizing it belatedly.
Lu Huailin gave Xiao Wu a gentle smile in return.
Only then did Xiaowu go back to the yard obediently.
Gu Xu tugged at Lu Huailin's sleeve, and the two brothers exchanged glances...
"Brother Sui, let's go back to the house first. After the children finish washing up, I will take you there to wash up." Xia Weian said.
"Okay." Sui Chengxiao responded. After all, this matter concerned Xia Weian's mother, so he didn't want to say much.
"Xuxu, Lulu, you will stay in the same room with Uncle Sui tonight." Xia Weian said.
"Okay, uncle." The two children responded obediently and looked at Sui Chengxiao at the same time.
Sui Chengxiao: I feel like I'm being watched by two little foxes...
Gu Xu and Lu Huailin each carried their own quilt over and made the bed.
Xia Weian helped Sui Chengxiao spread the quilt and went out.
Xia Weian was about to go back to the house when Shuanzi's voice was heard at the door.
"Third brother, I'm Shuanzi."
"Shuanzi, wait a minute." Xia Weian responded and said to Song Qingyun, "I guess he came to talk to me about the vegetable company."
"Well, go ahead." Song Qingyun nodded and turned over to lie on his side.
Xia Weian first told Sanniu that after Erniu took Xiaowu to wash, he would go and tell Sui Chengxiao, then he walked out and opened the door without inviting Shuanzi in.
"The children are all lying down. Let's sit on the rocks in front and talk." Xia Weian said.
"It's all right, Third Brother." Shuanzi responded happily. The young man couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"How have you been doing at the vegetable company these days?" Xia Weian knew from Shuanzi's expression that he was doing a good job.
"That's great, Third Brother. Brother Li takes good care of me." Shuanzi was a little embarrassed. "Well, Third Brother, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just say it directly."
"Well, go ahead."
"Third brother, Brother Li said that after working for a month, we can discuss whether we can continue working. From what I heard, it seems that it is possible to continue working. Am I right?" Shuanzi asked.
"Yes." Xia Weian did not hide it from Shuanzi.
"Really? Really?" Shuanzi rubbed his hands on his trouser legs subconsciously with excitement, and his palms were full of sweat.
"Really." Xia Weian was amused by Shuanzi.
"Then, then I will definitely work hard. I have to try my best no matter what. What if, what if?" Shuanzi was so excited that his words were a little incoherent.
"Just work hard. As long as there is a chance, Brother Li will definitely keep you. If there are any other changes, there is nothing we can do." Xia Weian said.
"Yeah, actually, I'm already very happy to be able to work for a month. I don't even dare to think about what I will do next." Shuanzi said, looking at Xia Weian with sparkling eyes.
"Third brother..."
