Chapter 151 The Cheap Grandma Comes to the Door
That person was none other than her adopted grandmother Wang Chunhua.
Wang Chunhua came over with a basket half full of eggs and looked at her with a smile on her face, which made her feel a chill.
Her intuition told her that this old woman must be up to no good again.
Just as this thought left his mind, Wang Chunhua spoke up: "Xiaoxiao, is it time to get off work? Are you tired from working at the department store?"
Su Xiaoxiao retreated tactically: "Grandma, if you have something to say, just tell me. I'm scared of you."
Wang Chunhua's smile froze. "What nonsense are you talking about? Grandma is here to see you. I was also deceived by your Second Aunt last time. I didn't know she was so vicious. It was Grandma's fault before. From now on, Grandma will treat all of you children equally."
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky. The sun hadn't even risen from the west yet. Why was the old woman talking nonsense?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Chunhua's smile became a little awkward.
"Xiaoxiao, look at the eggs in this basket. I brought them here especially for you to nourish your bodies. I saved them for half a month."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the small basket of eggs. If she remembered correctly, these eggs were also old actors.
I picked it up the last time my second aunt came, but since I didn’t get any advantage from it, I took it away again.
This is just another formality, and getting these eggs wasn't easy either.
Su Xiaoxiao's face was expressionless: "Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need for eggs, my family has enough."
Wang Chunhua frowned. Why was this girl so stubborn? No wonder she had disliked her since she was a child.
But something was asking of her, so she could only maintain a smile on her face: "Xiaoxiao, I heard that you've been buying a lot of mugwort in the village recently. It's not appropriate for an unmarried girl like you to show up in public. Why not ask your eldest cousin to give you a hand?"
"Your mother is not in good health, and your two brothers are rarely at home. Your eldest cousin is idle at home and has nothing to do. How about coming over to help you for a few days?"
Help? Why is she so unconvinced?
Has Zhang Guifang failed to find out the sales channels for her mugwort and is planning to use a roundabout tactic?
It was a good plan, but unfortunately, she didn't buy it.
"Grandma, I'm just buying this for a friend. It's only going to take a few days and will be done soon. My eldest cousin is going to do big things, so please don't bother him with this little thing."
Wang Chunhua was choked by her words and forced herself to remain calm: "What are you talking about, kid? We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
Su Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "No need, I have the fourth and fifth brothers to help me, no problem."
As she was talking, Liu Cuilan just came back from work and saw Wang Chunhua standing at the door. She couldn't help but wonder: "Mom, what's the matter with you?"
When Wang Chunhua saw her, her smile became even brighter: "Big Boss's Wife, this is what happened..."
She simply repeated what she had just said to Su Xiaoxiao, and then she noticed that Liu Cuilan's face had turned dark.
I knew that her mother-in-law had no good intentions when she came to her house.
He has been partial to the second family since Su's father was alive, and now it has become even worse.
If her third child hadn't found a good job, her mother-in-law probably wouldn't even look at them.
After hearing what Wang Chunhua said, Liu Cuilan's face immediately turned cold.
As expected, she guessed correctly. The mother-in-law came to please them this time for the sake of the second son's family.
She said she was helping, but in fact she just wanted to know the sales of the mugwort produced by her third son.
"Mom, you should go back. There are so many idle people in our family, so there is no need to trouble Zhiqiang to come over."
Wang Chunhua's face immediately fell as she didn't expect that even her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been obedient to her, would say this.
"Eldest brother's wife, please don't talk so much. We are a family, and even if our bones are broken, we are still connected. Now that you are living a good life, it is reasonable for you to help the second brother's family."
"You can't just live well on your own, and you don't care about the life and death of the second son's family. After all, they are the uncles and aunts of the children. If you tell others about it, they will laugh at you."
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. This cheap grandma was really too partial.
When her family was in such a difficult situation, she never said a word. Now that they are doing well, she wants to use moral blackmail on them?
Before she could speak, Liu Cuilan spoke first: "Mom, you are right. We are all family, so we must help each other. So you can ask Zhiqiang to come over to help tomorrow..."
Wang Chunhua smiled when she heard this: "That's right. We are all family. You can't just live well on your own and ignore the life and death of the second brother's family..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Liu Cuilan say slowly, "It just so happens that this mugwort business needs capital. When the time comes, let Zhiqiang share the cost."
"What?"
Wang Chunhua was a little confused when she heard this. "Zhiqiang is here to help, why should he share the cost with you guys?"
"Mom, what you said is not right. We are all family. When Zhiqiang splits the money, we can split it with him when we make money later, right?"
"this……"
Wang Chunhua was a little hesitant when she heard this. She and her second son's wife had originally planned to let Zhiqiang come and look at the sales channels, and then go it alone once they figured out the market.
Who knew that the eldest brother's wife was so cunning.
"Hey, this business requires advance payment of capital before it can continue. It just so happens that we don't have enough capital for the next batch of mugwort. Mom, you really helped us a lot."
The smile on Wang Chunhua's face completely disappeared, and after a while she asked, "How much capital do you need?"
Su Xiaoxiao pointed a finger at her.
Wang Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief: "Just one hundred? No problem, I can agree to it right now."
Unexpectedly, just as the voice fell, Su Xiaoxiao said slowly: "Grandma, this is not one hundred, it is one thousand."
"What?"
Wang Chunhua never expected that this small mugwort business would require such a huge capital, and she was immediately shaken.
"Mom, one thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. You should go back and have a good discussion with the second son's wife."
Su Xiaoxiao also smiled and said, "Yes, grandma, one thousand is not a small number, you must think carefully about it."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the egg from Wang Chunhua's hand: "Thank you, grandma. We'll take this egg back and eat it."
After saying that, he took Liu Cuilan's arm and walked in.
Wang Chunhua didn't realize until the courtyard gate was closed that she had lost both the wife and the army.
No, this matter cannot be let go like this. She has to go back and discuss it with the second son's wife. She can't waste this basket of eggs in vain.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at the closed gate and hurried away.
Liu Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief only when she heard the footsteps receding outside the courtyard gate.
Su Xiaoxiao took her into the house, feeling a little depressed. No, she couldn't let her biological mother continue to be bullied by her step-grandmother and second aunt. The best way was to break off the relationship with that family.
