"What? It was her." Guo Xuqing thought it was their family's mortal enemy, but she never expected that the worst person was right next to her.
That niece of mine, who seems to have an incredibly sweet tongue, is really something.
"Mom, don't worry about me. I've already broken ties with her. I'm not afraid of her anymore. I still have Baichuan to protect me. Do you want to talk to her?"
Suti knew that her mother came from such a family and that she was originally a soldier with many tricks up her sleeve.
After several of her uncles were killed in battle, leaving only her mother in the family, she had no choice but to leave the army to support the family.
Furthermore, after her brother grew up, she resolutely sent him to join the army. She was fearless in the face of death and was someone that ordinary people could not handle.
Her only weakness was her youngest daughter, to whom she gave all her tenderness.
She knew that her words would definitely cause a huge uproar in her uncle's family.
She wanted to see what Su Nianyou would do then; her aunt was sure to eat her alive.
"Okay." Guo Xuqing had many things on her mind, but when she heard her daughter mention her son-in-law, she quickly snapped back to reality and agreed.
Wei Baichuan was nervous holding the phone, but seeing his wife smiling at him from the side, he suddenly felt full of strength.
"Mom, it's me, Wei Baichuan..." Su Ti heard Wei Baichuan's steady tone and thought he would be too scared to speak.
I don't know what his mother said to him, but most of the time he just responded with "uh-huh," "okay," or "I understand."
However, seeing his upright attitude and serious expression, she knew that her mother had not made things difficult for him.
That's true; in their family, as long as she agrees to something, basically no one else has any objections.
What his parents are most worried about is whether he can be taken care of properly; nothing else is within their consideration. At worst, they will continue to raise him.
"Okay, that's enough for now. Mom, we'll come back to see you during the Chinese New Year. Please give my regards to Grandpa and Grandma. You and Dad, please take good care of yourselves too."
Suti took the phone and felt that it was about time. As for her grandparents, well, she considered them dead.
Her mother is very similar to her now. She married into a family that wasn't well-liked, but her mother is formidable. From the very beginning, her grandmother couldn't do anything about her.
In addition, her mother gave birth to her brother as soon as she got married, while her uncle's family had two daughters on either side, making it even more difficult for her grandmother to deal with her mother.
With a mother like that, if she really got angry, it would be her mother who would take the blows; she got her inspiration from her mother.
Don't hesitate, just go and do it.
Ultimately, it all comes down to having a strong family background and being able to stand on your own two feet.
"Go pay the money. My mom sent me a lot of things. I'm going to pick them up." The parcel drop-off and pickup area is not the same window as the phone line.
She took the money and handed it to Wei Baichuan, telling him to pay so she could find an opportunity to take out the things from her spatial storage.
"Then you take the things and wait for me there," Wei Baichuan said as he took the money.
“Okay.” Suti turned and went to the back of the post office, where the parcel drop-off area was located.
Usually, we wait for the postman to deliver it, but this doesn't take much time.
They might deliver every few days, or they might deliver all at once when there are a lot of items.
Suti used to receive packages every month, and she would usually wait for her holidays to pick them up herself, so she was very familiar with the area.
She gave her name and retrieved the things her maternal grandfather and his family had sent her. She had just retrieved her mother's things a couple of days ago, which were her dowry.
She also has the money her brother sent her; she needs to go back to the front to collect it later.
She found a secluded spot, and after confirming that no one was around, she opened the package and stuffed a lot more things inside.
Most of what her grandparents sent was food, but she also stuffed in some fabric she had prepared.
There were also shoes, rice, flour, and seasonings prepared for Wei Baichuan.
Only after preparing everything did I stand in a conspicuous place to wait for people.
"So much?" Wei Baichuan was surprised for a moment when he arrived and saw the bulging contents.
“This was sent by my maternal grandparents. They must know we got married, and this is just a token of their good wishes.”
Suti knew this was just the beginning; in a few days, she would receive a lot of packages. Her wedding had been rushed, and apart from some things her parents hurriedly sent over, there was nothing else.
Her maternal grandparents probably don't have time to prepare; they'll definitely be sending things here in a few days, like they're moving house.
“We will take good care of them in the future.” Wei Baichuan felt that his wife’s family was very different from his own.
They really love their wife dearly; she has truly suffered since marrying into their family.
He took the package and watched as his wife went to the front to get more money, saying it was sent by her brother-in-law.
He fell silent. He felt he needed to find a way to make money as soon as possible, otherwise he would never be able to pay it all back.
He can't rely on his mother-in-law's family to support them in the future, nor can he rely on his brother-in-law for help.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a thermos and a pot." Suti planned to set up a pot in his room.
It would be good to do something to improve their meals, since they would have to prepare these things after the family split up anyway.
She didn't have these in her personal space, but the industrial vouchers sent from her family were enough to buy them.
"Okay." Wei Baichuan felt that it was indeed necessary to buy one. As the weather got colder day by day, having a thermos in the house would allow his wife to have hot water whenever she wanted.
He knew his brother had a new thermos in his room, which his mother had prepared for him, but he hadn't thought much of it before.
But now he inexplicably feels wronged, feeling sorry for his wife.
Their goal was clear: Su mentioned that the supply and marketing cooperative had purchased thermos flasks, pots and pans, and knives.
I also bought Wei Baichuan a hanging water bottle, which he can use to drink water when he goes out to work. It's also convenient to hang it around his neck.
Otherwise, she would have to run home just to get a drink of water, or she would have to go to the river to grab a bite, which she felt was unclean.
I also bought two bars of soap for Wei Baichuan to use for bathing, and two undershirts, which are what people in the countryside wear now.
She makes clothes for him for autumn and winter, so he doesn't need to buy anything else.
She uses face cream and body wash, which her mother keeps sending her, and she hasn't finished using them yet.
They don't sell shampoos and face creams from the brands that are popular in Shanghai either.
Feeling they had bought enough, Suti took the items and returned to Yangliu Brigade with Wei Baichuan.
When he got home, the brigade had just finished work, and everyone was extremely envious of Wei's second son's large and small bags.
"This Wei Lao Er is really lucky. How did he end up with such a good wife?"
"What do you mean, such a good wife? Is she really that good? You're not just envious of the person who married you, you're envious of the person who's holding a gold brick in their hands."
Several aunties were muttering to themselves, and they only looked away when the person had entered the house and was out of sight.
Not only were they envious, but who in the whole brigade wasn't?
Some of the boys were even angry with their mothers, thinking that if their mothers had agreed back then, they would have been the ones to marry the beautiful brides, and all those things would have been theirs.
"Good heavens, so much stuff!" The Wei family members came out when they heard the commotion, and Huang Cuifen was the first to rush out.
