Wei Mingyue chickened out and asked tearfully, "Where do you want me to go?"
Wei Tiezhu said, "Go wherever you want. I can't afford to raise your daughter. With your abilities, why are you worried about not having a place to go?"
The neighbors all tried to persuade her to reconcile, but Wei Tiezhu was unmoved and insisted on driving her away.
It was a close relative, a second aunt, who came and took Wei Mingyue away.
This was the first time Su Xueli had met this kind, gentle woman who had moved her so much in her previous life since her rebirth.
She has a name, Wei Susu. Because she is the second oldest child, Wei Mingshen's generation should call her "Auntie". Over time, she became known as "Second Auntie" by everyone.
Because she was an unmarried young woman, Su Xueli didn't visit her family on the second day after Su Xueli married into the family. She was also very conscious of this and avoided seeing any new brides for a month.
Therefore, Su Xueli has not yet had the chance to meet her.
Watching her lead Wei Mingyue away, Su Xueli decided to visit her at her home sometime.
Wei Mingyue was taken away, the neighbors dispersed, and the house became quiet.
Wei Tiezhu and Cao Maizi went to their daughter-in-law's room to apologize, telling Yan Yan that they had made a fool of themselves and that they hadn't raised their daughter well, promising that she would never dare to act so wildly again.
Cao Maizi, still with a dark face, said, "I'll go find Matchmaker Yan in a bit and tell her to find a husband for that brat. She'll have to marry her off right away, whether she likes it or not."
Su Xueli stopped pretending and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. Let's eat."
The parents-in-law brought the two of their meals into the house and told them to eat slowly.
Su Xueli said apologetically to Yan Yan, "My sister-in-law is just overestimating herself. She always has to provoke me, and every time she does, her parents and brother punish her."
Yan Yan asked cautiously, "She just said that her brother will divorce you and marry that Lin Meizhi sooner or later. What's going on? Is your boyfriend still entangled with that woman?"
Su Xueli picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, smiling indifferently, "It's a long story. Anyway, I'm only focused on making money now. As for men, they're dispensable."
She couldn't go into details about her relationship with Wei Mingshen in just a few words, so she decided not to talk about it for now.
Yan Yan asked incredulously, "Xue Li, why do I feel like you've become a different person? You begged and pleaded with your parents to kill themselves to get Wei Mingshen, so why are you suddenly acting this way?"
Su Xueli couldn't very well tell her that she had been reborn, could she? So she smiled and said, "Isn't there a saying that what you can't have is always the best, and what you get is just so-so? As for his relationship with Lin Meizhi, we'll take it one step at a time."
Yan Yan was completely baffled.
Wei Mingyue has gotten herself into big trouble. Even that evening, Wei Tiezhu and Cao Maizi wouldn't let her go home. Of course, they wanted to make a statement to their daughter-in-law so she wouldn't get angry.
Wei Mingshen returned from hanging out with his comrades late at night, having drunk quite a bit. Su Xueli then took care of him and put him to bed.
He doesn't know about his sister's situation yet.
In the middle of the night, Wei Ming woke up thirsty and said in a hoarse voice to the person next to him, "Xue Li, pour me a glass of water."
Su Xueli had already placed the kettle on the bedside table, and there was a glass of water that had cooled down.
She lit a candle and got up to pour him water. She poured half a cup of cold water into a cup and then half a cup of hot water, making the water lukewarm.
She whispered to him as he lay there, "Sit up and drink."
He lay there motionless, eyes closed, and said lazily, "I don't want to move."
Looking at his handsome face, Su Xueli helplessly reached under his neck to lift him up and fed him the water.
After finishing his drink, Wei Mingshen said, "Let's have another one."
She poured him another cup and fed it to him, tucked him in, blew out the candle, and went back to sleep in her own bed on the inside.
Whether he was drunk or moved by her thoughtfulness, he suddenly turned to her and hugged her through the blanket.
Su Xueli stiffened and asked him in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
