Chapter 54 Xiao Family
Su Mingyue and Xiao Ying stood at the door. The rural dirt yard was nothing special, with a family of 10 people living inside.
Xiao Ying combed her hair in front of the mirror, then took out a thick layer of powder and patted the injured area carefully. While doing this, she said to her daughter,
"Help mom to see if there is anything else that needs to be tidied up. Don't let your aunt look down on you!"
Su Mingyue rolled her eyes and started to mutter,
"Mom, it's all your fault. If you hadn't done such a nasty thing, I wouldn't be embarrassed. What good will happen to us if we go back to grandma's house? Look, there are only five rooms in this house, and there are 10 people living here. We usually rely on your financial support to survive. Now that we're back, will we still have a place to stay?"
Xiao Ying knew her daughter was right, but in the current situation, she needed the support of her parents' family, otherwise her family would fall apart and no one would be able to support her.
Now that I think about it, the conditions in Subei Road are really good. I am basically only at home a few days a month, but the salary is very high, and there are subsidies. I can even get some rice, flour and oil. It's not as good as most, but it's better than most.
He does look okay, but he's a little too straightforward. She doesn't want to let go of a man like this.
Putting the mirror in her bag, she said, "I also know that your grandmother's family is not well off. Now mom knows she was wrong. All I can ask for help is your two uncles. They have a good relationship with Su Beilu. If they can help talk to us, maybe the matter can be resolved over a few drinks."
"How could I possibly get through? Now the whole building knows what you did. I went back to say hello to them, and they all laughed at me. I didn't know what was going on at the time, but now I think it's so embarrassing. How could I have a mother like you? It's embarrassing!"
"Didn't I tell you that he forced me to do this? What else can I do? Now that it has happened, we have to think of a solution. Do you want to lose your dad and have him only be Su Jinxia's dad?"
"No, I absolutely won't allow it. Although my father is not very close to me, I don't want to lose him."
"That's it!"
"What are you going to say after you go in? If you tell the truth, can your uncle help you?"
"You can be half true and half false. You should use your brain more and learn from mom! Besides, your uncle's family still depends on me for financial support. If your dad and I really get divorced, they won't get any financial support anymore!"
"That's true. Let's knock on the door now! We've been standing outside for a long time. I'm dying of thirst!"
Xiao Ying then reached out and knocked on the door. After knocking several times, someone finally opened the door.
Gu Yan smiled immediately when she saw her sister-in-law bringing the child back. She thought of the sucker, but when she saw Su Mingyue's face,
"What's wrong with your face?"
"I've been bullied. Go in first and talk later."
In this way, the mother and daughter were welcomed in.
Several children were running around in the yard, without shoes on their feet. Their feet were black and they were having a lot of fun. Their clothes were also very dirty, as if they hadn't been washed in years.
After seeing this, Su Mingyue hid far away, fearing that they would catch her hands.
After entering, go straight to the main house.
I saw my grandma and grandpa, one on the ground and the other on the kang, both picking corn. They were very small corn cobs, and there were not many grains on them.
The old couple were delighted to see their daughter coming back. They put down their work, packed up their things and placed them against the wall.
"Dad, Mom, where did you get these corn cobs?"
Xiao Guoqiang picked up his cigarette bag and looked up when he heard his daughter ask this.
"Don't ask questions that are not your responsibility!"
Zhu Xiuzhen looked at her daughter and felt that the makeup on her face was a little too bad today. The powder was almost falling off. She felt that her hands were wiping it all over, and her granddaughter had a wound on her face.
The most important thing is that after entering the house, I didn’t see anyone carrying anything.
"You came back empty-handed? And Mingyue's face was injured, how did it happen? Did you hit the child?"
Xiao Ying really didn't expect that my mother would ask so directly.
"It's like this. This month's salary hasn't been paid yet. I'll bring you something when I come back next month. This time I came back to let my elder and second brothers make the decision for me. I was bullied by that damn girl. She found my old man and tried to sow discord between us. My father-in-law, who couldn't figure things out, forced us to divorce because of a little mistake. That's how Mingyue got hurt. She let them beat her up!"
When they heard the divorce news, they all looked up at Xiao Ying.
"What divorce? Are you kidding me? You two are living well, why are you getting divorced?" Zhu Xiuzhen coughed a few times in anger before continuing to talk to her daughter, "What happened to make your father-in-law so angry that he wanted you to get divorced?"
Xiao Ying didn't have the nerve to tell the whole truth, so she could only continue to lie.
"Mom, don't ask me about this. Anyway, I need my elder brother and second brother to go back with me to plead for mercy. Maybe for your sake, my father-in-law will not care about it!"
She still couldn't let her parents know about the affair, otherwise they wouldn't let her and her be embarrassed. This was what she guessed in her heart, so she didn't plan to tell the truth at the beginning.
As long as they win in terms of force, they have the right to speak!
That damn girl didn't dare to be so stubborn anymore. Now think about it, it would be better to drown her in a urine bucket before she is born.
Zhu Xiuzhen, "Now that we've come to this, I think it's better to marry Xia Xia off. That way, everything will be solved."
Heard about getting married.
Su Mingyue raised her head and said, "Grandma, you didn't find a good match for my sister, did you?"
Zhu Xiuzhen's eyes dodged for a moment, "The other party's conditions are not that good. He is the silly son of our village party secretary. He is a little silly, but he looks fair and clean. Most importantly, he gives a lot of betrothal gifts.
Furthermore, if your sister can marry into the family, your uncle can become the leader of the production team. This way, our family will only benefit and not suffer any harm."
Xiao Ying thought of her elder daughter's fierce look. If she beat the man to death, she would have to pay for it, so she shook her head.
"What? You're still reluctant to let go! Don't forget that if you keep this daughter you raised at home, it will only create hatred. If you marry her off, all conflicts will disappear.
You told me that you disliked your eldest daughter because she looked like your mother-in-law. If such an eyesore is gone, won't the family be peaceful? Why would you be reluctant to let her go? Although that person is a fool, his family members are not stupid. As long as Xia Xia gives birth to a child, then our life will be pretty good in the future."
"Mom, that's not what I meant. You don't understand. I'm afraid she will beat him up and then cause trouble for us!" Xiao Ying hurriedly explained to everyone, but looking at their expressions, they obviously didn't believe it.
"What I said is true. Xia Xia is different now. She is a little abnormal, but I can't tell what's going on."
"Mom, I figured it out. My sister is possessed by a ghost!" Su Mingyue interrupted anxiously.
