Chapter 22 This guy kissed me and then ran away without explaining.
Su Xu gently took Liu Nian's hand, smiled, and then shook his head.
He wanted to tell her not to worry, that he didn't care.
His beautiful eyes held a tender gaze, making Liu Nian's heart ache even more. How much injustice had her man suffered? He was clearly so capable, so competent!
Liu Nian was furious and retorted directly, "Did you two climb onto my bed? Do you think I don't know whether my man is good or not? How interesting."
The women immediately fell silent, exchanged glances, and felt somewhat embarrassed.
“And your Aunt Cui,” Liu Nian turned around, “is your son in jail again for gambling?”
Liu Nian gave Aunt Cui a forced smile.
Aunt Cui's smile froze instantly. She shrank back and glanced at Liu Nian, "You, what nonsense are you talking about! My son clearly went to study in another city!"
"The police car that arrested your son has already arrived at the village committee, and you're still spouting nonsense!"
"Exactly. If you can't even raise your own son properly, why would you bother with other people's business?"
As soon as a new piece of gossip emerges, people's attention immediately shifts.
Aunt Cui's face turned pale then red. She opened her mouth, stiffened her neck, but in the end, she said nothing and left angrily.
"You should really think about where you're going to stay tonight!" Wang Xiuzhi glared coldly at Liu Nian.
"Just stay at home!" Liu Dafu walked over with a dark face. "My daughter doesn't even have a place to stay?"
“That’s right. I, as your sister-in-law, would rather give up my house than let my sister suffer.” Zhang Suzhen hugged Liu Nian tightly. “I’ll support you.”
Their unconditional love and support for her touched Liu Nian deeply, but she shook her head and said, "I'm married now, and I need to have my own home with Su Xu."
"And, to be honest, it's inconvenient,"
Zhang Suzhen nodded. That's true. She and her brother-in-law lived in the same house, which made it easy for people to gossip.
Liu Dafa lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "The educated youth settlement can indeed accommodate some people."
There is one more room for the educated youth, with a large kang (heated brick bed) that can accommodate five people. They can move in immediately.
"And then there are haunted houses."
As everyone knows, the house was drafty, had no doors or windows, and the yard was overgrown with weeds.
The main reason is that someone hanged themselves here, so no one dares to go near it, and nobody wants to live here.
"I want to live in the educated youth settlement!" Wang Xiuzhi spoke first. She looked at Liu Nian and said, "I'm still your mother-in-law, you should be filial to me! Do as I please!"
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Okay, Su Xu and I will stay in the haunted house, and you can stay in the educated youth settlement."
Wang Xiuzhi was finally happy. Could people actually live in that haunted house? Even if they could, what if they were scared to death in the middle of the night?
“We want to buy the land where the haunted house is located.” Liu Nian turned to Liu Dafa and said, “I know the haunted house is currently owned by the government, but I can’t live in a government-owned house forever. I need to have my own home, right?”
The old and young in the haunted house either died or fled, leaving no one there. The ownership of the homestead then went to the production team and was confiscated.
"Do you have money to burn?" Wang Xiuzhi said sarcastically, "Buying a haunted house, what were you thinking?"
"Is she out of her mind?" Wang Xiuzhi chuckled.
"And what about you?" Liu Dafa turned his gaze to Su Xu.
Su Xu hummed in agreement and said, "I'll listen to my wife."
See, her man listens to everything she says! Liu Nian was a little smug and said, "Let's sign the agreement today!"
So Liu Nian spent 100 yuan to buy the land for the haunted house.
...
"Mom, we're going to eat." Liu Nian pulled Su Xu aside. "You should go home and tell Dad that you don't have an appetite, so we won't call you!"
Upon hearing the mention of Su Zhenye, Wang Xiuzhi's face turned pale. How could she explain this to her husband? She walked home with a heavy heart.
