Since the mule cart was still in the yard, there was no way to hide it. Anyway, Dad wasn't coming, so there was nothing to fear.
Su Xueli truthfully said, "Ming Shen brought me the things I left at his house, and he also brought over the straw I used for making thatch."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fengying's face fell: "When I went back this morning and told him that your father was furious, he insisted on coming to teach him a lesson."
Didn't your dad tell you that you can't see him anymore? It's not right for you to meet again after the divorce. Tell him the things have arrived and he should leave quickly.
Su Xueli said she was very obedient, then quickly ran into the house, called out Wei Mingshen who was hiding behind the door, and whispered, "It's good that my mother came by herself, but she won't allow you to come here again. She told you to leave quickly, so you should leave quickly."
Wei Mingshen said, "Okay, then I'll leave first. By the way, when do you think I should come back to start work?"
Su Xueli said, "I'll start making it this afternoon. You can come tomorrow. My parents probably won't be coming tomorrow."
Wei Mingshen said "okay" and put on his coat, then went out to lead the mule.
Liu Fengying refused to see him again and hid in the kitchen, only coming out after he drove the mule cart out of the courtyard.
"He's not a bad person," Liu Fengying commented.
Su Xueli deliberately said, "What does it matter to us whether he's good or bad? From now on, we'll go our separate ways."
Liu Fengying was very satisfied with her daughter's attitude and said, "That's right, we have to be clear about this. He has nothing to do with us anymore, so we have to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, it will affect your chances of finding a husband."
Su Xueli smiled helplessly and helped her mother get things from the kitchen.
Mother brought rice, noodles, vegetables, and eggs, telling her that she had to cook well even if she was alone, and not to be careless. She also said that she and Father would come back to keep her company whenever they had time.
Upon hearing this, Su Xueli immediately refused: "No need, no need. Spring is here, and the work in the fields is in full swing. You all go ahead and do your work. I'm not a child anymore, why would I need you to keep me company? Besides, I'll be staying home all day making straw weaving, and I won't be going out much. I also have Dahuang to keep me company, so what are you worried about?"
Liu Fengying said, "We're still worried. My dad and I will come over whenever we have time, and less often when we don't."
Su Xueli could only tell them to do as they pleased.
After tidying everything up, the mother sighed and told her about the family's situation. She said that when her grandfather heard that she was getting a divorce, he was so angry that he pounded his chest, yelled, cursed, and cried. He said that he had done something terrible, that his grandson had run away because he was disobedient, and that his granddaughter had been sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family. He was ashamed to face anyone.
Su Xueli immediately corrected herself: "Mom, tell my grandpa that I wasn't kicked back to my parents' home by my in-laws. We got a divorce by mutual agreement, and it was me who initiated it."
Liu Fengying said with a bitter face, "My daughter, people don't listen to this. They think that if a woman gets divorced, she will be kicked back to her parents' home by her husband's family."
Well, that's certainly how it is these days.
Su Xueli said sarcastically, "Luckily I didn't stay at home, otherwise if I went out wearing a mask at this time, I would be surrounded by a bunch of onlookers, hahaha."
Liu Fengying said weakly, "Your grandfather told you to stay here and not go out, not to cause any trouble, and to wait for someone to find you a husband."
Su Xueli firmly refused: "Mother, I have to make this clear to you this time. I won't listen to anyone who tries to set me up with a match. I'm focused on making money and don't want to think about such messy things. You can talk to my grandfather and the others."
She was afraid that if she offended those matchmakers, they would tell her a whole bunch of single men to annoy her.
Liu Fengying nodded: "Your father also said not to mention this for now, and to talk about it later."
