"Honey, shall we go to Mom's?" After Grandpa and Dad went to work, Li Baichuan noticed that his wife was still frowning and thinking about something.
If he had known this day would come, he definitely wouldn't have saved that person.
Regardless of whether he harbored any ill will towards them, the fact that his girl was interested in Wei Bowen shows that they could never get along.
Even with Wei Bowen in his current state, his relationship with the Qin family is unlikely to work out, but the younger sister from the Qin family clearly hates them.
In her heart, she might even feel that they ruined her marriage. Compared to the life-saving grace, Li Baichuan wasn't that foolish.
"Okay, there's nothing over there. Let's bring some food for Mom and the others." Su Ti snapped out of her reverie, thinking that her parents had probably already finished their breakfast.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan rode their bicycles over there, and as soon as they arrived, they saw her brother sitting at the door chatting with several aunties in the alley.
"Why are you here?" Su Lin was taken aback. Wasn't the homecoming ceremony supposed to be tomorrow?
"We brought you food. Where are Mom and the others?" Suti brought all the breakfast prepared at home.
"Mom and the others are tidying up the house for you." Su Lin greeted the aunts over there and went into the house with the two of them.
“Brother, you know all the neighbors better than we do,” Suti said, winking at her brother as soon as she entered the yard.
Her brother's social skills are truly unmatched by most people.
"Who am I doing all this for?" Su Lin wanted to know if Xiao Bao's neighbors were easy to get along with, since they would be living here after their marriage.
He found out quite a lot!
"Daughter's here?" Guo Xuqing was taken aback when she saw her. She didn't care about the traditional custom of returning to one's parents' home; she was happy whenever her daughter came.
"Mom, what are you doing? Have you had breakfast? We brought you some food." Suti saw that her mother was covered in dirt and hurried over.
"I've finished eating. Your brother bought it this morning. The soy milk in Beijing has a weird taste; I really can't get used to it."
“We’re bored here. We see that apart from the bridal chamber, all the other rooms are empty.”
"I'll bring down your dowry and betrothal gifts and help you sort them out. Your father is alright with important matters, but he gets all flustered when it comes to small things, and I just can't stand it anymore."
"Mom has tidied everything up neatly. You can move in in a few days without having to buy anything."
Guo Xuqing thought that it was inconvenient for her daughter to be pregnant, and since they didn't have anything else to do, they would help her pack so that she wouldn't have to worry.
"I knew you loved me the most." Su Ti snuggled up to Guo Xuqing and acted coquettishly. Only parents would think about their children so constantly.
"If I don't care about you, who will I care about?" Guo Xuqing tapped Su Ti's nose, then, remembering that she was dirty, quickly told her to stand aside.
"Mom, you even bought me a stove?" Su Ti couldn't help much, so she followed her inside and looked around. Every room was tidy and organized.
Not to mention all kinds of furniture, the three turns and one sound, it really has everything.
When the family was buying things, she only gave her opinion on the fabric of clothes and the quilts for the bed; everything else was left to her mother.
I knew her mother had prepared a lot for her, but I didn't expect it to be this complete.
Take a stroll around the kitchen, and you'll find pots, pans, chopsticks, bowls, and even seasonings, as well as a stove and coal.
The dark coal was neatly arranged.
"That was brought by your brother. If it were transported here, it would be smashed to pieces." Guo Xuqing really wanted to buy the best, but he just had bad luck.
"..." Suti really admired her mother; they had done so much so early in the morning.
"Isn't coal a hot commodity? Where did my brother get it?" Even if Su Ti thought it was in high demand in Shanghai, her brother would have plenty of ways to get it.
Even his connections in Beijing are useless.
“Your brother can’t do it, but your maternal grandfather and father are still alive, aren’t they? They have comrades-in-arms everywhere. After asking around, your brother went to pull them up.”
The car they borrowed to transport the dowry hadn't been driven yet when they arrived. Once the dowry was unloaded, it was perfect for transporting coal. There was enough coal for her daughter to use for a year.
Suti stared at the person in disbelief. This actually works? It's true what they say, having comrades everywhere makes everything so convenient!
"You're in the way, go rest over there. We'll be done cleaning up in a bit." Guo Xuqing saw her son-in-law and son standing together talking, and knew that her silly son must have found out something.
"Mom, where are my grandparents? Grandpa and the others said they'll invite you all to their house for a family reunion dinner tomorrow when they go back to their parents' home."
"There's nothing here, so we can just have a meal at home." Suti had almost forgotten about this.
“Your maternal grandparents went to visit their old comrades-in-arms. I’ll tell them when they get back.” Guo Xuqing thought for a moment and agreed.
Then, as if remembering something, she hesitated for a moment before finally pulling her daughter aside.
"My dear, did Baichuan say anything to you when he got back?" Guo Xuqing thought about the wedding procession and was afraid that Baichuan would come to his senses and give her daughter a hard time again.
They didn't have any romantic love in their lives; they just met the right person and spent their lives together.
She knew her son-in-law was good to her daughter. At first, they were not a good match, so he was bound to dote on her daughter.
In addition, her daughter is beautiful, so anyone who isn't blind would take her to heart.
Later, when they arrived in Beijing, her daughter became pregnant again, which must have made him even happier. But Guo Xuqing knew very well how much a man cares about his image.
Just like how good Su's father was to her, they had never really argued over the years, but when she chose him, how many people gossiped about it?
At that time, he appeared nonchalant and didn't care at all, but behind the scenes, he was working hard to climb the ladder.
She would sometimes see him staring blankly out the window at night.
She knew he was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, the Guo family stabilized and needed to keep a low profile, so he gradually calmed down.
He became more reserved, and she knew he was upset, until recently, when her father changed his mind.
She could see his excitement, the eagerness he felt to finally prove himself.
Guo Xuqing didn't blame Su's father; he had been good enough to her. She just knew that men were inherently competitive.
Their forbearance will not disappear with the passage of time; it will only deepen in their hearts over time.
Now that her daughter is pregnant, no matter how difficult things get, Baichuan will definitely be tolerant. But what about later? She's afraid this will be a thorn in her side, something she can't get rid of forever.
"What did you say?" Suti looked at her mother blankly, not understanding what her mother meant.
"Did he complain about yesterday's wedding?" Guo Xuqing didn't care about anything else. There was nothing she couldn't ask. At least she could give her daughter advice.
