Jiang Xue was so startled by the sudden broom that she turned pale and retreated repeatedly.
Her face flushed red and then paled, filled with shame and anger. She reached out to snatch the broom from Meng Shuyun's hand, shouting, "Xiang Bei and I are doing this for your own good, for your future care..."
"Get lost! You're talking about me? You're all just thinking about yourselves!"
Meng Shuyun swept the broom hard, glaring at Jiang Xue with eyes that seemed to spit fire.
Just then, Su Xiangbei returned home and immediately saw Jiang Xue, looking disheveled and red-faced, being forced to the door by Meng Shuyun. Startled, he rushed over to support Jiang Xue's arm and shouted at Meng Shuyun, "Mother, what are you doing? Holding a broom, are you trying to make Xiaoxue miscarry?"
Su Xiangbei snatched the broom from Meng Shuyun's hand with such force that he almost pulled her to the ground.
Meng Shuyun steadied herself and retorted angrily, "I harmed her? Didn't she come here and cause trouble on her own?"
"Her legs are her own body, can I force her to come?"
Meng Shuyun's question made Su Xiangbei feel a little embarrassed.
Jiang Xue was extremely aggrieved and tightly held Su Xiangbei's arm, crying, "I was just thinking of my mother. We were having a nice meal at home, and I wanted to invite her to eat meat with us, but she didn't appreciate it at all and even kicked me out of the house."
Su Xiangbei turned to look at Jiang Xue and asked with a hint of reproach, "Why didn't you stay home and wait for me to come back? What are you doing running out here? It would be a huge loss if you hurt the baby in your belly."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Meng Shuyun: "Even so, Mother can't just sweep Jiang Xue out with a broom. She's a pregnant woman with a big belly, can't you be a little more considerate of her?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Shuyun became even more furious and retorted loudly, "I don't care about your fake kindness. Who knows if you've poisoned the food?"
If I actually ate it, I wouldn't even know when I kicked the bucket, so I wouldn't dare eat it.
"Get out of here! You're blocking my doorway, what bad luck!"
Meng Shuyun unceremoniously kicked the two of them out the door. Just as she was about to close the door, a postman stopped at her doorstep.
"Is this the Su family? There's a letter here; please sign for it."
Meng Shuyun glanced at the envelope in the postman's hand, pointed at Su Xiangbei beside her, and said coldly, "This is the Meng family, he is the Su family member."
As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed the courtyard gate shut. Meng Shuyun clapped her hands, as if to shake off the bad luck, and the courtyard finally quieted down.
Upon receiving the envelope, Su Xiangbei, who had received it from Su Xiangnan, the second son of the Su family, to Su Dahai, opened it without hesitation.
In the past, when my second son sent letters home, he would also send his monthly living expenses along with them.
But this time, upon seeing the contents of the letter, his eyes widened. He turned to look at Jiang Xue and said in a panic, "Xiang Nan, I broke my leg in an accident and have to be discharged from the army early!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue pretended to look over and glance at the letter. Since she couldn't read many characters, she naturally couldn't recognize what was written in the letter.
She frowned, only concerned about whether there was money, and asked, "Has he sent back his living expenses this month? And does this count as a military injury? Is he entitled to compensation?"
Su Xiangbei looked at the letter over and over several times, and finally shook his head, "No."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue hurriedly grabbed Su Xiangbei's arm and said with a serious expression, "Quickly give this letter to your father. Su Xiangnan is a hot potato now. He has broken his leg and will need someone to take care of him in the future. Do you want to take care of your second brother?"
Su Xiangbei seemed to have been enlightened. He quickly sealed the envelope and said to Jiang Xue, "Wife, you go home and wait. I'll go find my father now. We'll pretend we don't know anything about this."
Meng Shuyun, who was in the courtyard, overheard a few words and knew that Su Xiangnan was coming back. A feeling of indescribable tightness welled up in her heart.
In her previous life, Su Xiangnan brought home a woman with the intelligence of a child, and Su Dahai urged her to kick that woman out of the house.
Su Xiangnan harbored resentment towards her for the rest of his life, and died with his eyes wide open in bitterness.
As darkness fell, Meng Shuyun waited and waited in the courtyard, reheating the food twice, but no one returned.
She was very worried, so she picked up a flashlight, pushed her bicycle, and went out to look for the person.
Su Xiuju was excitedly talking to Li Dashun about her skirts, saying that she wanted to ask her mother to make two, but the family definitely didn't have enough fabric, so she would have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some.
Before the two even reached the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw Liu Laohan holding onto Su Xiulan tightly, refusing to let go.
"You're Ye Jianguo's wife. Give me a thousand yuan, or I'll get rid of his unborn son," Old Liu threatened viciously.
Su Xiulan struggled to break free, but she couldn't shake off his hold. She had to force herself to calm down, tightly protecting her stomach with both hands, and watching him warily.
He's trying to harm the baby in his belly!
That's absolutely unacceptable; this child was conceived with great difficulty.
"I don't have that much money. Who are you?"
What's your relationship with Ye Jianguo? Why don't you ask him for the money?
"All my money is with him. If you have a grudge against him, you should go after him," Su Xiulan said, trying to remain calm.
Old Liu didn't care about any of that; all he knew was that Ye Jianguo's wife was the deputy manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, and that she had a job and money.
Thinking that once Liu Xiaomeng's baby was born, Ye Jianguo would kick the woman out of the house and give the job to her daughter.
When he comes to collect the money later, he can have as much as he wants.
The colleagues who hadn't left the supply and marketing cooperative were trembling with fear inside when they heard Su Xiulan call out for money.
