Chapter 42: Protecting the Child
"Your little trouble really has nothing to do with us." Liang Wencai, obviously a protective child, said bluntly, "Don't let us hear about your affairs in the future, Su Houli, you think you are a good person? You are not qualified to discipline my son!"
Su Houli has been away for so many years, and it is Chen Guilan who works hard in the fields at home, so that he has no worries.
He was bewildered and actually had an affair with another woman. The funny thing was that his whole family was not ashamed but proud of it. They all helped him cover up and hid it from Chen Guilan.
Liang Wencai felt that as his brother-in-law, it was not appropriate for him to ask about his brother-in-law's affairs.
But this matter involved his son, so he certainly couldn't turn a deaf ear to it.
"Alright, alright, let's go home!" Su Xiumei saw Liang Wencai was angry and stepped forward to smooth things over. "We're all family, let's talk it out nicely."
She felt that Liang Wencai was a little unreasonable.
Because in this incident, it was Liang Kun who hit Su Houli, not Su Houli who hit Liang Kun. The wound on Su Houli's face is the evidence, while Liang Kun was unharmed.
"Su Xiumei, and you!" Liang Wencai turned and glared at Su Xiumei. "I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time. You're already married, so stay out of your own family's affairs. Don't take on jobs you don't have the skills to handle. Don't take on everything yourself. It will make our whole family very tired. Do you understand that?"
He never looked down on her because she was from the countryside.
But he despised people who took advantage of their power to bully others. Su Xiumei was taking advantage of his power, so she acted arrogantly in front of her family. Just because he didn't say anything didn't mean he couldn't see it.
"Wencai, how could I..." Liang Wencai had never said such harsh words to her before. Su Xiumei felt wronged and explained, "I really didn't know anything about the bicycle."
"I knew you would say that." Liang Wencai looked at her with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "You know I'm not talking about this matter, but all the mess that happened in your family before."
After saying that, he waved to stop a taxi and sped away.
Su Xiumei's eyes turned red with anger, and she couldn't help but vent her anger on Su Houli: "It's all your fault. You caused us to quarrel. If my family breaks up, what good will it do you?"
"Sister, you can't blame me for what happened between you and your brother-in-law!" Su Houli was also annoyed by Liang Wencai's scolding. "I didn't ask you to meddle in your mother's family affairs, and I didn't ask you to bring Cuicui to live with you. Even the relationship between Liang Kun and Jiaojiao was brought together by you."
"Well, you're blaming me now, right? Who am I doing this for? If not for you?" Su Xiumei was completely annoyed and turned away. "Since you don't appreciate it, let's not have any contact anymore!"
It's like she can't help a rotten thing, but she doesn't care!
What her in-laws? When she really has problems, she can’t rely on anyone. Bullshit!
Su Houli stood alone in the cold wind, pushing his new bicycle, looking disheveled.
Who can tell him how things turned out like this!
Seeing that the three people had parted on bad terms, Su Jiaojiao and Liang Kun didn't say a word. They turned a corner at the same time and continued walking along another boulevard.
Liang Kun went to the police station to vent her anger, and Su Jiaojiao felt that she had to give him an explanation no matter what. The quiet asphalt road and the maple trees on the roadside were burning in full swing, burning all the way to the end of the sight. The end of this road was Jiaoxian No. 1 Middle School.
The road is long.
Old enough to talk about your heart.
Liang Kun walked beside Su Jiaojiao with a happy expression. The bravery he had just had was gone from his face. He instantly turned into a considerate big brother next door. The bright red maple leaves rolled in the wind on the road, and two yellow and white puppies were chasing and playing happily on the roadside. It was a very beautiful picture.
It was Su Jiaojiao who spoke first: "Cousin, I was just thinking, how great it would be if I had a brother like you!"
She wasn't saying that as a compliment.
But it's the truth.
Liang Kun put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at her coolly, his eyes full of smiles, and cleared his throat: "Jingjiao, I really want to protect you for the rest of my life."
This kind of atmosphere and this kind of artistic conception are most suitable for expressing love.
Yes, it is very suitable.
"Cousin, I know your feelings, and I appreciate them, but I'm really not right for you." Su Jiaojiao stopped and looked at him with a relaxed expression, looking into his eyes. "If you continue to pester me, it will only ruin your image in my mind. How about we change our identities and interact with each other? I think we will definitely get along happily."
In his previous life, Mr. Su often talked to people, so of course he was not stage-frightened.
At this time, Liang Kun was just a young man in his early twenties, full of vigor and vitality. He needed respect and recognition.
"Jiao Jiao, I admit that I still have feelings for you in my heart, but what I did today was not to impress you, but because I wanted to be good to you sincerely." Liang Kun also looked into her clear eyes and simply opened his heart. He couldn't help but mention the rainy night when she held an umbrella for him. "I have always remembered what happened that night. I thought that if I had the chance in the future, I would definitely marry you and protect you. I thought you would agree, but I didn't expect that you would actually jump into the river rather than marry me..."
"Cousin, to be honest, I don't remember what happened on that day you mentioned. If I had known that holding an umbrella for you that day would bring me so much trouble, I would definitely have avoided you. I jumped into the river not because of you, but because I didn't want to marry anyone else." It was the first time that Su Jiaojiao looked at Liang Kun carefully. In fact, he was not bad looking. Although he was not handsome, he had a cynical charm. This kind of ruffian temperament was very popular with girls. She had heard that there were several girls in their meat processing factory who liked him.
Liang Kun remained silent.
As he walked, he kicked a small stone, and the stone rolled down with the help of the terrain.
"Cousin, everyone in this world has someone they love, or something else. You like the sun, but does that mean it belongs to you?" Su Jiaojiao walked side by side with him, stopped by the roadside after watching the small stone drift away, and said slowly, "Relationships require mutual affection. In the early stages of a relationship, courtesy is important; in a long-term relationship, temperament is important; in a lifelong relationship, character is important. If your love brings me a burden, or even pain, do you think you're being kind to me?"
"I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I was wrong." Liang Kun felt ashamed after hearing what Su Jiaojiao said. When she was 14 years old, she gave him warmth on that rainy night. When she was 17 years old, she woke him up on this sunny day. He thought his persistence could move her, but he didn't know that such an idea itself was a disrespect to her. He was so selfish that he didn't care about her feelings.
"Cousin, I actually cherish your friendship..." Su Jiaojiao looked at the long road and said thoughtfully, "If possible, I hope we can be real cousins, help each other, and interact like relatives, okay?"
As long as she stayed in Jiao County for one day, she might see Liang Kun at any time.
They are relatives, they see each other every day, there is no need to make things unpleasant.
