Chapter 244 Second Aunt Comes to Ask for Money
"Grandma Liu, why are there so many more?"
This is two hundred and forty.
"I thought this thing was hard to buy, so I asked for a little more. Since you've worked so hard for it, just accept it all."
Su Xiaoxiao counted out two hundred and stuffed the rest into Grandma Liu's hands: "Grandma, I'm giving you this sewing machine for two hundred. I originally wanted you to say two hundred and twenty, so that you can earn some money running errands."
Grandma Liu's family conditions were average, but when Su Xiaoxiao went to her house to play when she was a child, she would give her something to eat.
At that time, no one in the family was well off. They couldn't even get enough to eat for their own children, let alone feed others.
She has always remembered this kindness.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she would help if she could.
"How can this be? I've already troubled you twice."
Grandma Liu hurriedly returned the money to her.
As the two were pushing and shoving each other, Liu Cuilan happened to walk in. Seeing the two pushing and shoving, she directly put the forty yuan on the table into Grandma Liu's hand and said, "Aunt Liu, just think of it as a little gift from the child. If I ask you to take it, then take it. Otherwise, it would be too formal for us."
Since Liu Cuilan had spoken, Grandma Liu couldn't refuse any more and could only accept the money, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face: "How can I earn so much money while your little girl Xiaoxiao is helping me? What's the point?"
"Aunt Liu, we are all family, so please don't be so formal with us mother and me."
"Okay, then I'll shamelessly accept it."
Grandma Liu collected the money and stood up to say goodbye.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed to see the person off. Just as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Zhang Guifang walking towards them.
Seeing her, Grandma Liu couldn't help but mutter, "Your Second Aunt is full of evil intentions. I guess her coming here is not a good thing. Xiaoxiao, do you want me to stay with you and your mother?"
After all, they are a family. Su Xiaoxiao and her daughter are embarrassed to discuss some things with Zhang Guifang due to face, but she, as an outsider, does not have such scruples.
"Thank you, grandma. It's okay. Please go home quickly. It will be dark soon and the road will be difficult to walk on."
"Okay, if anything happens, just ask your fourth or fifth son to call me."
After saying this, Grandma Liu slowly walked back.
She had bound feet and walked slowly to begin with. She would look back every two steps to look worriedly, which made her walk even slower.
Seeing her walk away, Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went into the house.
Zhang Guifang's voice then rang out from behind: "You silly girl, you can't see me, your second aunt, can you? You're so enthusiastic towards an old lady who has nothing to do with you."
Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear anything, walked straight in, and slammed the gate shut.
Zhang Guifang was almost furious. This damn girl was becoming more and more lawless. After all, they were real relatives.
He actually locked her out directly.
She pushed the door open angrily, walked into the room without any courtesy and sat down at the table.
"You stupid girl, your elders are here, how can you be so tactless? Why don't you just pour me a glass of water?"
Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "Elders? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? We are no longer related, so where do the elders come from?"
This time, he didn't even call out to Second Aunt.
Su Pandi just poked his head out of the house and saw Zhang Guifang sitting in the main room, then he immediately slipped back into the house.
Liu Cuilan placed the enamel jug of water on the table with a thud. Zhang Guifang thought it was for her and immediately reached out to take it.
But Su Xiaoxiao picked it up first and said to Liu Cuilan, "Mom, I'll add some sugar to help you feel better."
As he said that, he turned around and added sugar.
Zhang Guifang snorted in her heart, thinking that she had good eyesight and knew to add sugar to her dish.
At this time, Liu Cuilan raised her eyelids and looked at her: "What's the matter again?"
"Sister-in-law, we are all family. I can let go of Pan Di's affairs, but a grown-up girl like me has become yours for no reason. You should at least show some appreciation, right?"
She stretched out her hand and said, "How about this? Give me five hundred yuan, and I won't care about Pan Di's affairs from now on.
Liu Cuilan frowned. Zhang Guifang had the nerve to say that. Isn't this obviously selling her daughter?
Before she could say anything, Su Pandi rushed out of the room.
She clenched her fists and mustered up the courage to speak: "Mom, I'll give you the five hundred yuan myself. I'm working now and I get twenty yuan a month. I'll pay you the money over three years, but you must sign a severance agreement with me, promising not to interfere in my affairs anymore."
Zhang Guifang didn't expect that Liu Cuilan would actually pay Su Pandi such a high salary, and she immediately had other thoughts.
Twenty dollars a month, that’s two hundred and forty dollars a year, but she only wants five hundred, which is a bargain.
He immediately glared at her, "What are you talking about, you little bitch? I gave birth to you, and the money you earn should be mine. You still want to break off the relationship? No way."
"If you don't agree, don't even think about getting a penny!"
Su Pandi thought about what he had experienced during this period and for the first time stood up in front of Zhang Guifang.
Su Xiaoxiao came out with an enamel pot. When she heard this, she looked at her with appreciation and silently gave her a thumbs up.
"Okay, you ungrateful bastard. I raised you with all my might, and now that you've grown up you want to break off relations with me? No way. I gave you your life, so you should listen to me, and your money should be mine too."
As she spoke, she confidently extended her hand to Liu Cuilan, "Sister-in-law, my brother Pan has been working for you for over a month now, right? Isn't it time to calculate his wages?"
Su Pandi didn't expect Zhang Guifang to be so shameless. She bit her lip and mustered up the courage to speak: "Mom, I earned my salary and can't give it to you. I can pay the 500 you want in installments..."
Seeing that she dared to talk back, Zhang Guifang was so angry that veins on her forehead popped out. She immediately took off her shoes and hit Su Pandi in the face: "Okay, you naughty girl, you haven't been beaten for a few days and you don't even know your own last name?"
Unexpectedly, this time Su Pandi did not let her hit him like before, but reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Only then did she realize that the once skinny and timid little girl had grown to be almost as tall as her.
"You...you damn girl, you're rebelling!"
Su Pandi held her wrist tightly and didn't let go: "Mom, if you agree, I will pay you back in installments. If you don't agree, even if you force me to death, I won't get a cent."
"You damn girl, I'm your mother!"
Zhang Guifang was so angry that her lips trembled. She didn't expect Su Pandi to dare to speak to her like that.
"You are my child, so you should obey me in everything! Even if I tell you to die, you have to accept it."
Su Pandi bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes red.
"Second Aunt, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, why are you still so feudal-minded?"
Zhang Guifang ignored her and grabbed Su Pandi: "You little bitch, either give me money today or come back with me and get married!"
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, she was suddenly slapped loudly in the face.
