Chapter 117 Pretending to be Poor
"Grandpa, I plan to visit his home tomorrow, so you don't have to go with me."
Su Jinxia didn't want her grandfather to be angry, so she listened to what Zhao Yue said.
Even if I haven't seen them, I can guess in their hearts that they are another group of top-notch people. As the saying goes, we are not afraid of having too many top-notch people, but we are afraid of having only one group of top-notch people.
It’s better not to let Grandpa see it until everything is settled.
On the other hand, she suspected that Zhao Yue might not be the child of the Zhao family. This was a feeling she needed to confirm in person.
"I don't care about your affairs, young people. You can make your own decision." Su An looked at his granddaughter lovingly, "As long as you are happy, your father and I will be happy."
Su Jinxia hugged her grandfather excitedly.
"I'm so happy."
"Silly girl, you will always be your father's and mine baby."
Su Beilu came out of the kitchen and when he saw the two grandfathers, he got excited and put the dishes on the table.
"The dumplings will be ready soon, why don't you go wash your hands."
They then got up and went to the bathroom to wash their hands. When they came back, the dumplings were already on the table.
The table was very large, with six large plates of dumplings on it.
Zhao Yue, "I just cooked in both pots, so I don't have to cook dumplings back and forth."
Su Jinxia prepared the dipping sauce for herself and took a sip with chopsticks. It tasted good.
"I like to add aged vinegar and chopped pepper sauce, and a little soy sauce. It tastes amazing!"
"Then I'll try it too." Zhao Yue prepared a bowl of dipping sauce according to her method, dipped it with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it. It tasted surprisingly good.
“I like the taste of this, too!”
Seeing the two children sitting down and eating dumplings with such happy looks on their faces, they all felt very relieved!
…
Xiao Ying woke up in the middle of the night because she was hungry. Seeing her daughter sleeping, she touched her numb legs and felt something again.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. It was inconvenient to walk when boiling water, but after walking a few times she felt more comfortable, so she quietly opened the door and went out.
She walked all the way to the restroom, where she knew there was a mirror.
The gauze wrapped around the face was untied, layer by layer, and soon the face was exposed. It looked like there were only burns.
So she breathed a sigh of relief and had to stay in the hospital for treatment for now. When the treatment was almost complete, she would secretly escape and leave her daughter behind to pay off the debt!
…
Morning.
After the family finished breakfast, it was almost time to go to Subei Road.
"Xia Xia, I heard from your grandfather that you are going to visit Zhao Yue's home today. You should be more reserved. Old people like to nag, so some of their words are just for listening."
"Dad, I understand. Just go to work without worry!" Su Jinxia saw the reluctance in her father's eyes.
Su Beilu was still worried when he walked out the door, so he turned around and said to his daughter,
"If you have any questions, tell your grandfather. If you can't solve it, send me a telegram. Don't ignore me."
"Okay, I'll definitely tell you if I have anything to say." Su Jinxia waved goodbye to her father.
Su Beilu turned around and left, otherwise he would miss the train.
After watching her father get on the tricycle and leave, Su Jinxia turned around and went back.
The first time I visited them, since I knew that they didn't have a good relationship with Zhao Yue, I simply prepared two bottles of canned peaches and two boxes of biscuits as a token of my appreciation.
Putting the things on the table, she asked Zhao Yue,
"Can I take these?"
“No need to take it.” Zhao Yue knew that his parents were still angry at that time, so it would be useless to take anything.
"That's not good, right?" Su Jinxia felt that what she had prepared was already enough. Zhao Yue actually hated them so much that he didn't bring anything. But this would be bad for them, so they still had to be polite on the surface.
"I just had a conflict with them yesterday. You should be prepared."
"Then I must be polite." Su Jinxia said with a smile, "These things are not worth much. If I don't bring them to your house, it would be impolite of me."
"Then take it." Zhao Yue just didn't want to waste things, but ignored etiquette, so they ignored him.
Su An heard that the boy didn't seem to have a good relationship with his family. Wouldn't it be the granddaughter who would suffer? But then he thought about his granddaughter's personality. If there was a problem, it would be better to find it now.
It's better than getting along for a few months and then finding out that the other person's original family is really difficult to integrate into. At that time, the pain of breaking up would be too great, so I just didn't say anything and just let them be.
Zhao Yue looked at Su Jinxia, who was wearing a white floral dress, fashionable leather sandals, and a small leather bag on the table.
This outfit is really nice, but he thinks it is not suitable to take home. He knows very well what kind of people in his family are. If they knew that Su Jinxia has such a big house, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
"Can you change your clothes?"
"Is this one not okay?" Su Jinxia turned around and thought her skirt was pretty.
"Be more simple." Zhao Yue looked at her and said, "I don't want you to be entangled by them in the future."
"I understand!" Su Jinxia then hurried upstairs, changed into a set of tops and pants, both with patches, and changed her shoes into a pair of cloth shoes, which was already her poorest outfit, and soon came downstairs.
"Is this possible?"
"OK!"
Su An couldn't sit still any longer, "What are you two doing? How can you wear something so shabby the first time you come to my house?"
Zhao Yue nodded with satisfaction.
"I have my reasons for doing this. This is good for Xia Xia."
Su An couldn't understand what young people were thinking, so he could only let them do what they wanted.
Watching his granddaughter and future grandson-in-law leave the house, he could only close the door, pick up the hoe and continue working.
His son should have boarded the train by now. The life of being apart more than together made him feel that he had too little time to spend with his son.
Su Jinxia and Zhao Yue had already gotten into the car by this time.
She wasn't nervous at all when she met her parents for the first time, mainly because Zhao Yue was reliable. If he wanted to pretend to be poor, then he should just pretend to be poor.
She had already thought about her life. Her parents were divorced, she had no job, and she was an orphan with no one to love her! It was quite interesting to think about it. She couldn't help but smile.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Yue asked.
“I wonder how they will react.”
"I mainly don't want them to get involved with you. They hate the poor and love the rich. It's better to keep a low profile, especially since you have a house."
"Why, do they dare to come and occupy my house?"
"That's possible. They were planning to buy a house for my brother and wanted me to marry a divorced woman with kids. This made them angry."
Su Jinxia opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect it to be so ridiculous. "Are they not seriously ill? With your current position, you wouldn't marry a divorced woman with children. It's not that the woman is bad, but you can find a better one. Just to change the house for your brother, you are too biased!"
