Chapter 72: Planning on Su Mingyue

Xiao Guoqiang took a long puff of his cigarette and looked up at them.

"Are you sure you can pay?"

Xiao Ying was stumped by the question. Thinking of how tough Su Jinxia was and her martial arts skills, it would be useless for the people at home to go up against her.

"You guys don't dare to ask for the money, but you expect me to do it! Yingzi, focus on tomorrow's matter. They want 300 yuan, where does the money come from? Where is that man now?" Xiao Guoqiang became more and more angry. "He should pay for it."

"I don't know where he is, and he's such a stingy person, he won't give me any money." Xiao Ying's voice became lower and lower. She wanted her parents to take care of everything, but she couldn't say it directly.

Zhu Xiuzhen looked up at Su Mingyue with an extremely impatient tone.

"You are such a grown-up girl, why don't you hurry up and cook? What are you doing staying in the house?"

"Grandma, I'm not very good at cooking." Su Mingyue felt choked up when she thought of squatting in the outer room and cooking over a fire.

Xiao Ying coughed and said, "Mingyue, listen to your grandma!"

Su Mingyue had no choice but to go out to cook. Luckily, she was not the only one cooking, as her second aunt was there to help. She only had to squat and make a fire.

Ma Chuntao put the rice in the pot, looked outside, and saw that her sister-in-law and son had already gone out on a cart. She sighed helplessly.

Neither of the two daughters-in-law has any say in the family, and life is so boring.

"Why only put so little rice?" Su Mingyue looked at a handful of rice put into a pot of water, and in the basin beside it were hard corn cakes, the surface of which was a little black in color, and it was obvious that they had been stored for many days.

"Mingyue, it's not up to me to decide how much rice to put in the pot. If you want it thick, go ask your grandma." Ma Chuntao replied indifferently.

Put the rack in the pot, then use a knife to cut the pancake, then put it back in the bowl, then put it back in the pot, and finally cover it with a lid. The meal is done.

Looking at the black salted vegetables on the plate, Su Mingyue exclaimed, "Are we not going to eat this for dinner?"

She felt extremely aggrieved when she thought about how her grandma would give her steamed egg cakes and rice every time she came back.

Ma Chuntao took a glance, then squatted down and added some firewood to the stove.

"That's how life is in the countryside. It's good to have something to eat. Why would you be picky?"

"Every time I come back, I have rice to eat. Now you just throw a handful of rice into the pot, and it's all water when it cooks. And the cake is black. Can these things be eaten?" Su Mingyue began to criticize like a young lady.

Ma Chuntao stood up and said, "This family is like this! This is the condition. If you want to eat good food, go find your grandma."

Su Mingyue didn't dare to go into the house to find them. Ever since she knew she was a bastard, she knew her good days were over, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She was very angry and humiliated, so she could only run to the yard and stand there in one breath.

Just as Ma Chuntao was about to go out, she heard a very faint sound coming from the room, which made her unable to help but move over to listen.

"The old man Secretary Niu is not easy to mess with. We have taken all the things. If we return them now, we have to at least pay double. Otherwise, he will make things difficult for us."

"Then what do you want to do? We definitely can't get this guy back. Even if the whole family goes up, it won't be enough to beat Su Jinxia up. What else can we do?"

"Or you can go talk to Secretary Niu and ask them to replace the person with Su Mingyue. Even though she's a little younger, she can be trained for a few years." Zhu Xiuzhen expressed her thoughts and looked up at her daughter to see her reaction.

Xiao Ying raised her head suddenly, "Mom, that man is a fool. Mingyue is a normal person, how can she marry a fool?"

Zhu Xiuzhen glared at her daughter. "What do you know? Since our family has agreed to return the things we collected, someone has to go. If Mingyue doesn't go, who will go? Or you can bring that ungrateful bastard back and chop off both of her hands, so that she can't hit anyone anymore."

Xiao Ying bit her lip. She wanted to chop off the man's hand, but she also knew what she was doing. She was unwilling to let her beloved daughter marry a fool.

"Our family can't afford that 300 yuan. Tomorrow when you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, you kneel down and kowtow to him. As long as he still has face, he will divorce you. This way we can save money!" Zhu Xiuzhen said complacently. She thought her idea was brilliant.

Xiao Ying looked at her mother, "You can't even come up with a penny?"

"No, not a single cent." Zhu Xiuzhen answered firmly.

Xiao Guoqiang nodded in satisfaction at this answer. The money and things in their pockets belonged to them. How could they take them out and return them? Besides, they didn't need their daughter to support them in their old age. As the saying goes, once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled out. If a person is useless, then she should be kicked out. Anyway, she can't eat idle meals at home.

But he couldn't say this aloud, so he decided to tell his wife before going to bed at night!

Xiao Ying was extremely disappointed. She counted on her fingers and said to them, "I gave you at least 50 yuan a year, and sometimes I even gave you some meat coupons. Anyway, I had a share, and my family had a share. How come you have nothing now? How am I going to live in the future? Give me an explanation!"

Zhu Xiuzhen rolled her eyes and said, "Then why don't you count? We raised you up, how much do you have to give us?"

Xiao Ying wanted to go crazy for a moment, but she couldn't do that.

Zhu Xiuzhen understood her daughter well, she didn't have any big ideas and would just compromise in the end.

Xiao Ying holds a grudge against Su Jinxia for all this, and sooner or later she will get revenge. Thinking of her current situation, it seems that she can only sacrifice her little daughter's happiness, otherwise she can't stay at home.

"Mom, I agree with Mingyue's idea, but only if you pay me the 300 yuan. As for kneeling down to him tomorrow, I don't think it will be of any use, but I can give it a try."

"Let me think about it. You can't always live in your parents' home after your divorce. I'll find someone to find you a marriage partner and you can live with someone."

Seeing that her mother didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Ying hated her even more. She looked up at the moon in the sky. Was God trying to kill her? Why did it become like this?

Su Jinxia prepared the red oil soup base. She smelled it and it smelled delicious. Considering that they couldn't eat too much spicy food, she didn't add much chili. When she saw that the soup was about to boil, she sat down.

Seeing Grandpa take out a bottle of wine from the house, I was very surprised and asked him, "How come I didn't know there was wine at home?"

"If you knew, I would hide it on purpose. This wine is old. You can't eat such delicious hot pot without wine!" Su An sat down, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured a bowl for him and his son.

Su Jinxia passed the bowl over, "Grandpa, give me some too. Meat without wine is half as delicious!"

"Where did you learn that, little girl?" Su An smiled and poured a small bowl of wine for his granddaughter.

At this time, Su Jinxia sneezed three times in a row and her left eyelid started twitching again, which meant that there was trouble again!
