Chapter 54 Who is making things difficult for whom
"When did it happen?" Su Jiaojiao asked him calmly.
As far as she knew, there was no progress on the matter of Deputy Director Su Houli this year, and it would take at least until next year.
What does it mean that he filed for divorce at this time?
"It was just these past two days." Liang Kun only heard it once and didn't know much. "Your grandma told your aunt about it over the phone this morning, and I overheard it."
"Thank you, cousin. I understand." Su Jiaojiao smiled. "Don't worry. I'm mentally prepared."
"How can I help you?" Liang Kun saw that she looked normal, but he was still worried. As a young girl, she must be heartbroken to hear that her parents were getting a divorce. Su Jiaojiao smiled at him and said, "I can handle it myself. Go back to work!"
"Okay, then we'll talk when we have time." Liang Kun looked at his watch and realized that he was really going to be late. He didn't bother to say anything else. He got on his motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator, and rumbled away.
Not far away, Xue Yuxin and Wang Qian saw every move of the two. Humph, she said that her cousin was not her partner. Who was she trying to fool?
Su Jiaojiao, who is usually calm, is a little uneasy.
The teacher called on her to answer questions, but she got them all wrong. Zhang Lili and Xu Mengyao were so anxious that they almost stuffed the answers into her hands. She got such simple questions wrong. Is she still the Su Jiaojiao they know?
Su Jiaojiao finally made it to noon. Without even eating, she ran to a public phone booth to call Chen Guilan. The village committee member was gone for more than ten minutes before returning to tell her, "Your mother isn't home. She's gone to the hospital with your second aunt. Go look for her at the hospital!"
Since Chen Guilan is not at home, it means that she doesn't know about this yet.
After hanging up the phone, Su Jiaojiao called Su Houli again. Su Houli didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to call him, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"Dad, if you want a divorce, just tell me. Don't go to my mom." Su Jiaojiao said without further ado, "If you dare to go to my mom, I will go to your workplace and find your leader. I mean what I say. If you don't believe me, try it yourself."
"Su Jiaojiao, don't get involved in adult matters." Su Houli was curious about how she knew this, but he couldn't help but take her words to heart. This girl was capable of anything, and he certainly didn't want to bring this matter to the workplace. After thinking about it, he heard himself say, "Can you replace your mother?"
"Yes!" Su Jiaojiao answered straightforwardly, "Tell me, what's your reason for divorcing my mom?"
Su Houli: “…”
How could he say such a thing to his own daughter?
She was clearly making things difficult for him.
"If you don't tell me, then there's no reason." Su Jiaojiao's voice was cold and sarcastic. "You have no reason to ask for a divorce. You're just being unreasonable. My mother won't divorce you. Think about it carefully!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
It was Su Houli who was anxious to get a divorce, not her mother.
They are not in a hurry.
Su Houli again: "..."
He was stunned for a long while before hanging up the phone. He and Su Jiaojiao were simply destined to be incompatible. He would explode whenever she spoke to him, which made him so angry.
During evening study, Su Jiaojiao asked for leave for the first time.
I bought a bag of fruit and went to the People's Hospital. After asking around, I finally arrived at the ward. My second aunt was already asleep. Chen Guilan and Chen Juan were sitting by the bed, talking quietly. When they saw Su Jiaojiao come in, they were both surprised and asked in unison, "Why are you here?"
"I heard my second aunt was sick, so I came to see her." Su Jiaojiao put the fruit on the windowsill, walked to the bedside and looked at the patient. "How is she?"
"Much better." Chen Juan forced a smile. "It's an old problem."
When the weather gets cold, her mother tends to get sick easily.
This happens almost every year.
"How did you know I was here?" Chen Guilan asked Su Jiaojiao, "Did you call home?"
Chen Juan moved a stool for her, and Su Jiaojiao sat down. Seeing Chen Guilan in her new clothes, she suddenly looked like she didn't look like a villager. She reached out and adjusted her mother's collar: "I wanted to ask how the bedding is prepared at home."
"Everything is ready." Chen Guilan has always been efficient and made the bedding overnight.
"You really want to do business!" Chen Juan thought Su Jiaojiao was too bold, doing business while attending school. She was a mild-mannered person and didn't say anything, but just warned, "It's not like home outside, keep the door closed at night."
"Don't worry." Su Jiaojiao hadn't seen her for a long time, and this time she was particularly friendly. She took out two hundred yuan and gave it to her, "I didn't buy anything else. You can save this money for food. Staying by my bedside is the hardest, so buy me some delicious food."
"Oh, how can I take your money?" Chen Juan stuffed the money back like it was a hot potato, blushing and saying, "You're still in school, and there are so many places to spend money. I don't want it, I have it."
"You take it." Su Jiaojiao hated arguing with others and forced it into her mouth. "I'm giving it to my second aunt, not to you. If you push me again, I'll be really angry. You don't treat me as your sister."
"Juan, take it." Chen Guilan knew that Su Jiaojiao was well off, so she agreed, "She did well selling jeans last time. She has money now. When she runs out of money, you can help her."
She herself was reluctant to eat or drink, but her second sister-in-law's hospitalization would cost a lot of money.
They'd help out as much as they could.
Chen Juan couldn't refuse anymore, so she accepted it.
She stuffed it under her mother's pillow and whispered, "That's too much."
Two hundred yuan is equivalent to half a month's salary for an employee.
Su Jiaojiao is really generous.
"Are you two staying here tonight to keep me company?" Su Jiaojiao didn't see her second uncle, so Chen Juan hurriedly said, "No, my dad is here tonight. He went home for dinner and will come over after dinner. When he comes, we'll leave. I'll come over tomorrow. My aunt won't be needed."
"Mom, is there any work left in our fields?" Su Jiaojiao asked Chen Guilan. Chen Guilan shook her head. "Not much. There's just some cabbage left, and it hasn't been stored in the cellar yet."
"Then bring your bedding over tomorrow. I'll apply for a day student position and won't be living on campus anymore." Su Jiaojiao wouldn't let her mother fight alone. She would accompany her to face all the problems. Chen Guilan didn't think too much about it. "That's fine. If anything happens at home, I can just ride my bike back."
The reason she agreed to live in the snack street was that she wanted to earn more money and reduce the burden on her daughter.
Ever since she got a bicycle, she felt that Wutong Village was not very far from the city, only half an hour's drive away. At the same time, she also understood that Su Houli didn't go home not because of the distance, but because he simply didn't want to go back.
In front of Chen Juan, Su Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. She sat for a while and then went back to school. She and Chen Guilan agreed to stay in the rental house tomorrow night. Chen Guilan was also very happy: "Don't worry about anything. I'll go over and pack it up tomorrow and buy anything you need."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao looked at Chen Guilan's gentle face and felt at ease.
It’s so nice to have my mom around.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, it's worth it.
