Chapter 619 Extra: Su Hongying x Su Hongmei
The two sisters helped each other out of the study and went to the guest room.
After closing the door, Su Hongmei couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Big sister, I regret it so much. Why did I follow Fourth Brother's example back then? Big Brother advised me so much, why didn't I ask him to help me ask for leave to visit Third Uncle!"
"Why shouldn't I choose my mother after she divorced Su Youfu? I know... I know Su Youfu never brought any money home, yet he still presumptuously thinks I'm his biological daughter, and that no matter how heartless he is, he wouldn't abandon me!"
"But he just doesn't care whether I live or die. He makes me cook, grow vegetables, clean the yard, and wash clothes for him and the old lady. In the sweltering summer, I get dizzy from the sun, and in the dead of winter, my hands are frozen like radishes, itchy and painful... If I don't do any work, they won't give me any food..."
"If it weren't for Mom, if it weren't for my third brother, if it weren't for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I wouldn't have been able to finish my studies. How could I have been so foolish back then? Eldest sister! I regret it. I regret it so much that I want to turn back time, back to when Mom and Dad divorced. I would have followed Mom without hesitation. I want to take back all the hurtful things I said at the health center. Eldest sister, sob, I was wrong..."
"Waaah, I really know I was wrong, but I can never go back. Mom... hiccup, Mom will never pamper me, love me, or protect me like she did when I was little. Big sister, what should I do, what should I do..."
Su Hongying looked at her younger sister, who was crying her eyes out and was heartbroken, and gave a bitter smile.
what to do?
She also wanted to know what to do.
Third Brother said that if he wanted Mom to forgive him, he would have to turn back time to before she said those outrageous things. But there's no do-over button in life, and how can time be reversed?
They... can never go back.
Su Hongying patted Su Hongmei on the back, comforting her, "Mom is right about one thing. We've grown up now. Even though Mom says she doesn't forgive us, she still saved my life when I was on the verge of death, and had Third Brother ask Uncle Jiang to pave the way for me to live in the South. That's why I'm where I am today. And you are too..."
"Although Mom said she wouldn't take care of you anymore, she still secretly gave you money for books and tuition, allowing you to complete your studies smoothly, graduate successfully, and find such a good job. Aren't these proofs that she still loves us? It's just that..."
Su Hongying gazed in the direction of Li Banxia's study and let out a soft sigh.
"...It's just that we hurt Mom too deeply, and she's unwilling to accept us anymore."
Su Hongmei looked up, "Then what do we do?"
“I believe that as long as we try our best to make amends, one day, Mom will truly forgive us.”
Although that's what she said, Su Hongying didn't actually have much confidence in her heart.
She coaxed Su Hongmei, returned to the guest room next door, lay on the bed, and listened to the sounds in the courtyard, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The next day, Hu Erya drove to pick them up.
Mo Ge came out of Su Laosan's courtyard and met up with Su Hongying at the restaurant.
Arno had prepared breakfast, and the group ate together before Su Laosan saw them off.
Su Hongying gave Su Hongmei a ride to the National Library. The two sisters exchanged contact information and waved goodbye.
The car set off again to return to the hotel, and only then did Mo Ge ask about Su Hongying's eyes, "What happened? Did your mother not forgive you? Or were you too happy to sleep all night?"
Su Hongying leaned against him, clutching his clothes, and gently shook her head.
"...Yesterday I talked to my mom about some things from the past, and I realized that the damage has been done, and there's no going back. Some things, once done wrong, can never be undone..."
Mo Ge heard the sadness in her voice, sighed softly, stroked her head, and comforted her, "That's true, but you are mother and daughter. No matter how angry she is with you, she will eventually calm down. Once the film and television industry here develops, we will come back from Hong Kong. At that time, you will have enough time to cultivate your relationship with your mother. It's never wrong to do more. Wounds... will eventually heal. Don't rush, I'm here with you, we'll take it slowly."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Su Hongying murmured a soft "hmm" in his arms.
The following year, Su Hongmei was introduced by a colleague at the library to a junior office worker in the city. The two quickly established a romantic relationship and, after dating for a year, decided to get married.
The groom's parents want to meet with the bride's parents to discuss the marriage of the two children.
Su Hongmei called Su Laosan, who then asked Li Banxia if she wanted to meet him. Li Banxia glanced at him and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Su Laosan said, "...Should we meet him? Otherwise, my little sister will be looked down upon by her in-laws. Besides, she's just a young girl who has just entered society. How can she tell if someone is a ghost or a human? If she runs into someone like Zhang...we should meet him so we can help her make a judgment."
After saying that, he tugged at the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Li Banxia nodded, "Then have your little sister arrange a time to meet, whether at a hotel under your name or at your home."
Su Laosan's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said okay.
The two families arranged to meet at a hotel and had a very pleasant conversation. They agreed to get engaged first and then hold the wedding in October, six months later, during the National Day holiday.
The wedding room was prepared in advance, and the betrothal gifts and hardware were all according to Su Hongmei's wishes.
The groom's mother also gave Su Hongmei a jade bracelet to wear on her wrist, saying it was a gift from her future mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law, and told Su Hongmei to accept it without worry.
Li Banxia also gave the jade Guanyin statue that she had prepared in advance to Su Hongmei's boyfriend.
When the other party's parents saw the texture of the jade Guanyin, they exchanged a glance, and their eyes showed more smiles when they looked at Su Hongmei.
Shortly after their engagement, Su Hongmei took Li Banxia to celebrate her birthday.
Seeing the interconnected courtyard houses, the training ground where the children usually play and train, and listening to Su Laosan introduce the family members and their respective jobs, the man looked at Su Hongmei in shock and bewilderment.
They even hired chefs from big hotels to host a birthday banquet at home, with fireworks going off for hours on end. Li Banxia, her second brother-in-law, and her third brother-in-law appeared on local TV news, leaving the man completely numb.
When I got home, I told my parents about what I had seen at my fiancé's house. His parents laughed and said, "Your dad and I could tell the day we met that the jade Guanyin your fiancé gave you was of much better quality than the jade bracelet we gave our daughter. Son, treat your wife well and don't let her suffer."
"I know, I like her as a person, it has nothing to do with her family background. It's just that I feel like I've married a woman from an extraordinary family..."
The man scratched his head, sighed, and said, "No matter what, I will try my best and not let her suffer or be wronged because of me."
In October, Su Hongmei got married, and the whole family went to attend.
Su Hongmei and the man knelt at Li Banxia's feet, offering her tea. Li Banxia drank the tea, placed a red envelope in her hand, patted Su Hongmei's head, and said with a smile, "You two should live a good life together."
Su Hongmei burst into tears instantly.
Su Hongying, who was standing to the side, turned her head and threw herself into Mo Ge's arms, tears streaming down her face.
