She had been observing Suti the whole time, trying to figure out what went wrong and why Suti had suddenly changed her personality.
Based on the methods she used to brainwash Suti, shouldn't she hate Wei Baichuan?
But in the past few days, she has discovered that Suti is genuinely good to her man, and it's not an act.
What kind of bewitching potion did this country man give her?
She knew Suti's personality; she would never look down on country folk. If she hadn't known that Wei Baidao was the male protagonist in the book, she would have looked down on him too.
Su Nianyou felt that Su Ti had a problem; she had overlooked something.
The thought that the Wei family was still trying to coax her back was completely different from what she had imagined.
No, this can't go on. Su Nianyou thought of the benefactor the male protagonist in the book met when he was starting out, and she could go find him right now.
Maybe it's not the right time yet, and we can't do anything, but that's okay, as long as she catches the person in advance.
When the reform and opening up take place, they will be able to show their talents, and at that time she will be the male protagonist's benefactor.
The Wei family was going to dote on her, and Su Nianyou knew that as the male protagonist in the book, he had some opportunities.
She can't leave Wei Baidao either, so she can just take those opportunities for herself and make Wei Baidao listen to her, right?
With that thought in mind, she quickened her pace and returned to the Wei family home.
"Second son, are you hungry? Mom boiled an egg for you, eat it while it's hot." Huang Cuifen came home a little early in the afternoon and boiled an egg for us.
Seeing Wei Baichuan return, she handed him the eggs with a reluctant expression; she couldn't bear to eat them herself.
"Oh, Mother is so good to Second Brother. She gave him eggs as soon as he got home."
Before Wei Baichuan could react, Wei Baidao started chattering away.
Actually, Wei Baidao was also craving food. He had been tired all afternoon, and in the past, any good food at home would be his, but now he could only watch helplessly as his second brother got it.
However, thinking of the good stuff his second brother had, he felt relieved. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; it was just an egg.
"I'm not hungry." Wei Baichuan had no idea what they were plotting again; he was genuinely not hungry.
He had eaten too much at noon and also drank half a pot of malted milk powder, so he didn't feel hungry at all.
He still had two milk candies in his pocket that he hadn't eaten, and he didn't want to eat the egg at all.
"This is just to tide you over. Once Mom has saved up enough tickets, I'll have your dad buy some meat, and Mom will make dumplings for you."
Huang Cuifen didn't expect Wei Baichuan to be so coy. These were eggs; anyone else would have been in a panic by now.
"No need, my wife will make whatever I want to eat." Wei Baichuan straightened up a bit as he said this, his tone full of pride. His wife was very good to him.
"What do you mean? You look down on this egg?" Huang Cuifen, having been rejected twice by her second son, could no longer suppress her anger.
She thought that as long as she spoke nicely, her second son would come running over eagerly.
She knew that although her second son was not talkative, he still cared about them. When he was little, he would stay by her side and secretly watch her.
"What does this have to do with eggs?" Wei Baichuan was taken aback, but he thought his mother's expression was normal.
He felt uneasy just now because of her appearance; he was afraid they were plotting something again.
It's one thing to scheme against him, but I'm afraid they might also be plotting against his wife.
"Pfft," Suti burst out laughing when he saw them doing that.
This silly guy! The Wei family was clearly trying to coax Wei Baichuan, but they didn't expect him to focus on the eggs.
Seeing Wei Jia's face turn red from holding back her laughter, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Wife, let's go back inside." Wei Baichuan looked at Su Ti's happy expression with great confusion.
They simply dragged the person back into the house, leaving behind a group of Wei family members jumping up and down in anger.
"Wife, what are you laughing at?" Wei Baichuan asked, puzzled, when he saw Su Ti still laughing after entering the house.
"Fool, didn't you realize that your mother was trying to appease you? They probably regretted it and thought that if they could appease you, they would get a share of all the food and supplies I had."
"After all, I married you, so I'll definitely listen to you. They can't control me, so they can only try to get things done through you."
Suti didn't hide anything from Wei Baichuan, and she wasn't afraid that he and the rest of the Wei family were of one mind.
"Hmph, they're dreaming." Wei Baichuan was taken aback at first, but then realized it was very likely.
Needless to say, this must have been his younger brother's idea; he's always been a scheming person.
But thinking about how his mother looked just now, unable to pretend to like him, and holding the eggs with a reluctant expression, it was really ironic.
"I believe you." Suti felt they had used the wrong approach; Wei Baichuan was long past the age of needing his mother's love.
They might as well be open and talk to him properly; that would be a more practical approach.
"Wife, when can we separate the household?" Wei Baichuan didn't know what his wife planned to do. If they didn't separate, it would be inconvenient for him to do anything to earn money.
He knew that his younger brother had been keeping an eye on him ever since he got married, and that his gaze towards him had been rather strange on several occasions.
"It will be soon." Suti knew that the Wei family would soon be bustling again.
In the evening, the family gathered around to eat dinner, and Huang Cuifen kept putting food into Wei Baichuan's bowl.
“My son, eat more. Look how thin you’ve become. Your parents are so helpless. We can’t make sure all three of you are well-fed. It breaks my heart.”
"Don't worry, I've thought it through. From now on, I won't eat any of the food at home; I'll save it all for you."
"Mother doesn't ask for anything. You three are all my children, my own brothers. I only hope that you can help each other in the future."
“My son, you are living the best life of the three brothers now. Don’t forget to help your brothers when you become capable. That way, your mother will die without regrets.”
As Huang Cuifen spoke, she wiped away tears; these words were truly from the bottom of her heart.
"Haven't I always been this thin? Mother, you're only just noticing? And I didn't even know when I became capable!"
Wei Baichuan had many thoughts on his mind. Could it be that his younger brother had discovered something and told his mother?
This house is definitely no longer a place I can stay.
"..." Huang Cuifen cried for half her tears and then couldn't cry anymore. Ever since her second son got married, his words have become increasingly unpleasant.
They've all been corrupted by that little bitch.
"Second brother, how can you talk to Mother like that? Mother is just worried about you. Look at how you've behaved these past few days, you've really hurt our hearts."
“We’re family, and you’ve made your mother cry. Take lunch for example, you ate a good meal at home and didn’t even think to bring your parents anything.”
"That's bad enough, but you just stood by and watched your wife bully your parents. Is that what a son should do?"
Wei Baidao spoke with righteous indignation, and his words moved Huang Cuifen to tears.
It's no wonder she dotes on her youngest son; he's the only one in the family who truly cares about her and understands her difficulties the most.
