"Quickly close the door, let's go inside and talk," Su Xueli instructed Su Yunfeng as she went inside.
Su Yunfeng quickly closed the courtyard gate and pulled Su Xueli's hand, eagerly leading her into the house.
"Sister Xue Li, have you heard about what happened between our two families?" Su Yunfeng asked as soon as he entered the house.
Su Xueli said, "I just came from the hospital, then went to the hair salon to talk to Yulan for a bit before coming here."
Su Yunfeng frowned and asked, "How are Brother Yunlei and Brother Yunjun injured? I don't dare to go see them. It's my fault that they got hurt. I'm so..."
Su Yunfeng cried.
Su Xueli patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Yunfeng, don't get agitated. It's not your fault. It's their fault for being brainless and causing trouble. They deserve it."
Su Yunfeng rubbed his eyes and said, "How can you not blame me? In the end, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have been fighting or getting hurt. Besides, Yulan's family members were also injured."
Su Xueli said calmly, "Then you should give up now and go home."
Su Yunfeng jolted awake and exclaimed, "No way!"
Su Xueli asked, "Why not?"
Su Yunfeng lowered his head and said, "I am a man, I will not back down. That would be letting down Yulan and myself."
Su Xueli said, "That's fine. There's no use in blaming yourself. It will only make Yulan misunderstand that you've changed your mind."
Su Yunfeng said firmly, "Sister, I won't. Like you said, it's not my fault, they're the ones who made this mess. I think our family isn't heartless, this time they've been taught a lesson and won't dare to cause trouble again."
Su Xueli said, "That's what I think too. Your dad and my dad are both old and honest people. After things have gotten this bad, they won't cause any more trouble. Among the younger generation, my brother is the eldest, but he's a coward. Next time we ask him to stand up for himself, he might not even be able to get it."
Su Yunfeng grinned and said, "This is a good thing, this is a good thing."
He said worriedly, "But Sister Shirley, I think I'm going to have to fight a long battle with my family. I can't just hide here like a mouse, can I? I'll suffocate."
Su Xueli thought about how things had gotten between the Su family and the He family, and realized that they really needed to reconsider their relationship. It was really not a good idea for her cousin, a grown man, to rely on He Yulan for support.
Su Xueli said, "Then I'll go back and ask Wei Mingshen if he has any comrades outside who can help you find a job. Anyway, you're strong enough to do any kind of work."
I'll go to the city department store and the county department store and ask the managers if they have any temporary jobs for you. That way you won't have to hide here anymore, and you'll still have money to earn."
Su Yunfeng said happily, "Sister Xue Li, it would be great if there were jobs available. I can do any kind of work, whether it's dirty or tiring."
Su Xueli had no doubt about her cousin's words; he was indeed quite capable and hardworking. However, unlike later generations, there were no jobs available everywhere in this era, and even finding temporary work was difficult.
Su Xueli said, "I can only ask around for you. If you really can't find a job, you can go out and do some small business. Anyway, you can't stay here for long. Besides, you won't be able to stay here if Yulan's family finds you."
Su Yunfeng said sadly, "That's how it is."
Su Xueli glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late since I came out, so I'm going back now. Feng, don't worry about things at home, don't even think about them. Since you're here, just make the best of it and don't hurt Yulan's feelings."
Su Yunfeng nodded heavily.
Su Xueli said, "Wait for my news."
He looked at her reluctantly and said, "I'll wait for you, sister."
Before long, it was almost noon, and Su Xueli rode her bicycle back to Wangxiang Village.
On the way, she thought to herself that sooner or later she would get a divorce and return to her parents' home in Peach Blossom Village, and then her sister-in-law would make a scene.
In her past life, Wei Mingshen, who had made a name for himself outside, took his parents and children away. She was left alone in the empty old house of the Wei family, feeling uneasy, so she went back to her parents' home. She was sent back by her sister-in-law after only a few days.
