Su Wanping felt as if a knife was stabbing her heart, and she smiled bitterly: "Yes, I still have a pension. Fortunately, I still have a pension, and she can still say a few good words to me. If I were an old woman with no one to rely on in the village, she would have ignored my life and death a long time ago."
Chen Xiaoying frowned. This kind of thing has happened before. There was a girl in the neighboring Zhaojia Village who didn't come back for three to five years after she got married, as if she didn't exist.
No wonder people prefer boys to girls. Raising a daughter will bring greater risks to the future.
When a daughter gets married and moves to someone else's home, she has to live her life according to the moods of her mother-in-law and husband, have to give birth to children, and do housework. Most women do not have any income after marriage, and they have to ask their husbands for money even if they want to buy a bag of salt.
So, if there is any problem with your parents, you still have to ask men for help.
What about men? Some men are very selfish. They don’t care about their own parents, so why would they care about the old couple in their wives’ homes?
Men will just give you a little at most and then they won't care anymore.
This daughter still has a conscience, and she asked the man for it.
Some daughters, knowing that they have to read the man's face, simply lower their heads and keep silent, saying: Dad, Mom, you all know, I'm not the head of the family, and I can't do anything about it.
It was as if their parents were sick or needed some money, and they were deliberately making things difficult for her.
Why are you sick?
Why is it that other people’s old men and women never get sick and don’t have to spend money?
The old man and woman have no sons, so they save some money in this life and help their daughter. Over the years, I asked you to look after my children. Have you ever given me money?
The more Chen Xiaoying thought about it, the more sick she felt. In her previous life, she saw a family in the village quarreling, and they said exactly this when they got so angry.
You blame me for being a heartless daughter.
As a daughter, I blame my parents for being incompetent.
Chen Xiaoying sighed and continued to comfort Su Wanping: "Don't say these sad words. Since she is so ruthless to you, don't be so foolish to sacrifice for her. In her heart, you are just a sucker."
Ma Hongxiu wouldn't even pretend to be filial and try to deceive Su Wanping.
This shows how little she takes her adoptive mother seriously.
Su Wanping's character is still too soft.
After hearing what her cousin said, Su Wanping couldn't help but smile bitterly. Isn't she just being taken advantage of?
"Sister, I just thought that Guoming and I only have one daughter in this life. I'm old now and don't spend much money. Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die, so I'll just give it to her."
"This is the last thing I, as her adoptive mother, want to do for her. Even if I die, I will have a clear conscience."
"I brought her here and took her away from her biological parents, but I didn't do anything wrong to her."
Hearing her cousin's words, Chen Xiaoying didn't know what to say: "So, you plan to give it to me?"
Su Wanping nodded, already feeling hopeless: "Just give it to me, what else can I do?"
She held back her tears and pounded her chest with her fist: "I can live with my conscience."
Li Yutong and her grandmother Chen Xiaoying looked at each other, and they, as grandparents and grandchildren, were completely speechless.
How to persuade?
This is like being heartbroken, having lost all hope, not caring about anything anymore, stuck in a dead end, and unable to get out.
"Well, when Guoming died, he asked to leave some money for Ma Shuai. Will you keep it?" Chen Xiaoying asked with some hope.
If we leave some money for Ma Shuai, when Su Wanping dies in the future and her coffin is buried next to Ma Guoming, the Ma family will definitely help with all their heart.
We can’t let the Ma family down.
"Didn't Guo Ming say that if his elder brother Ma Guoxi hadn't supported him in his studies, he wouldn't be here today. Ma Guoxi is very concerned about his reputation. His son Ma Shuai has been studying for so many years, and no matter how difficult it was, he never asked you for help."
Ma Guoxi's family was not the kind of people who would repay a favor with a favor. Not only did they not ask Ma Guoming to pay for his nephew's tuition, they even sent fruits and vegetables to the county town.
Su Wanping remembered in her heart: "I know, I will discuss this with Hongxiu when I go back, and ask her to leave at least 30,000 yuan."
It was obviously her own money, but in Su Wanping's heart, it seemed as if it had already belonged to Ma Hongxiu. Li Yutong grumbled in her heart, but her grandmother didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to interrupt.
After hearing this, her grandmother Chen Xiaoying also felt uncomfortable. Haha, she even went to discuss it with Ma Hongxiu. Ma Hongxiu wanted to dig up money from the Ma family. She would not give Ma Shuai a single penny, so what was there to discuss?
Su Wan felt upset, so she just found a tree hole to vent. After she finished speaking, she felt much better: "Sister, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Chen Xiaoying felt a lump in her throat: "...It's no trouble."
You might as well not tell me, I wouldn't be so angry.
Chen Xiaoying was worried about Su Wanping, so she sent her on a human-powered tricycle, told her where to go, and then returned with a sigh.
She sat on the sofa and patted her chest: "Hey!"
She let out a long sigh, as she was afraid that she would get sick from holding it in.
"Grandma, don't be angry. This is just the beginning. It's too early for you to be angry." Li Yutong thought about the matter and came up with a new idea.
"What? What else could it be?" Chen Xiaoying was furious: "Can she sell your aunt's old bones by weight?"
Li Yutong shook her head: "If someone buys it, I can't say for sure, she's not my biological mother."
People have some wonderful blood ties. If it was her biological mother, Ma Hongxiu seemed to have to bear some responsibility. Selling her biological mother, no matter how you think about it, is worse than pigs and dogs.
But as for the adoptive mother, she could immediately find an excuse for herself in her heart. For example, when others talked about Ma Hongxiu, Ma Hongxiu often told outsiders that her mother-in-law treated her badly because she was not her biological daughter...
If they are not biological children, then adoptive mother or adopted daughter is just a superficial relationship that exists in the household registration book.
"Grandma, what I'm saying is that my aunt wants to give all her life savings and the money from selling the house to Ma Hongxiu. She didn't agree to anything else, such as asking you to borrow 150,000 yuan."
"That means that Ma Hongxiu didn't achieve her goal this time when she returned to China. She is definitely not willing to accept this. Maybe she will do it herself."
Li Yutong has seen such people before. Others find it very difficult and embarrassing to ask for help, but in their eyes: I lend you money because I think highly of you, so don't be ungrateful.
Her grandmother Chen Xiaoying couldn't help but laugh: "If she has the guts, she can come and borrow it. Let me see how thick her skin is."
Li Yutong shook her head. She didn't make good use of her English this time. Ma Hongxiu could speak Mandarin, of course. Her husband, a mixed-race American, would just look at anyone and say, "No, No, I don't understand, I don't understand," and wouldn't talk to anyone.
Let’s not talk about what Ma Hongxiu told her adoptive mother Su Wanping.
She was dissatisfied and even angry: "Mom, the money is not enough, the money is not enough! Don't you understand?"
