Chapter 62: Keep the wealth within the family
"I can't talk to you with this attitude." Su Houli was accused by the mother and daughter in turn, and he could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly, like a defeated rooster, opened the door and walked out.
We can't talk any further. If we continue, he'll find a hole to crawl into.
Su Jiaojiao alone was enough to give him a headache, and now Chen Guilan was also making trouble for him, and he couldn't handle it.
"Dad!" Su Jiaojiao stopped him and said, as if summarizing, "Don't forget the main point we discussed tonight. My mom agrees to a divorce, but the house and land must be given to us, and you must be a clean household. Otherwise, there's no room for negotiation!"
She couldn't let him go away like this.
There must be a result.
Su Houli said nothing and walked out quickly.
"Mom, we still have one soup left." Su Jiaojiao asked Chen Guilan, "Do you want it or not? Or should we wait?"
"Can I withdraw?" This was the first time Chen Guilan got angry with Su Houli, and she actually felt much better. Su Jiaojiao shook her head, "No!"
"Then wait!" Chen Guilan took the teapot, poured herself some tea, and said expressionlessly, "Jingjiao, Mom has thought it through. Let's get a divorce!"
There is no room for three people under one roof.
Since she is the unpopular one, it is better for her to withdraw.
"Mom, if you want to leave us, then leave us. If you don't want to leave, then drag him along." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect that the photo would shock Chen Guilan so much. The reason why she didn't show it to her was that she didn't want to irritate her. If she had known this would happen, she would have taken it out long ago.
"Divorce, we must." Chen Guilan's eyes fell on the torn photo, and she made a firm decision. "It's just that I don't want the Su family's house and land. I don't want to see that family anymore. From now on, I will live with you. When you get married, I won't burden you. I know how to run a business and can support myself."
She couldn't even keep this man.
Why did she still want his house and land?
"Mom, don't think too far ahead. Let's focus on the present situation first." Su Jiaojiao snuggled up to Chen Guilan and gave her a serious analysis. "We must have our house and land, otherwise they will really be given to someone else. Do you really want our house and land to fall into the hands of that woman?"
Even if Wutong Village is not demolished, she still wants to keep the house and land, even if it means losing everything.
Chen Guilan has been busy at home and in the fields these years, why would she just give it to someone else? It's impossible!
"Mom knows what you're thinking, but they won't agree." Chen Guilan knew their family best. A few years ago, Feng Yuefen said that she wanted to adopt Su Jinbao to Su Houli. Although Su Houli did not agree, she knew that Feng Yuefen was coveting their house.
Su Houli has no son, only one daughter, Su Jiaojiao. Feng Yuefen wants Su Jinbao to inherit their house. Xu Yuxiang also has this idea. She often says that good things should be kept within the family, and a nephew is the same as a son.
"Mom, whether they agree or not, we must have the house and land." Su Jiaojiao repeatedly emphasized that she had a clear understanding of these matters. "If they don't agree, we'll go to court and appeal. Let's see who's afraid of who!"
There was nothing that prevented her and Chen Guilan from going to court.
But Su Houli didn't dare.
The door opened again.
The waitress came in with a food cart and brought the flower mushroom and clam soup to the table. She said politely, "Miss, your dishes are all here. I wish you a pleasant meal."
"Thank you!" Su Jiaojiao then took another look at the waiter. She was shocked to find that the waiter was Xiao Cai, one of her most capable assistants in her previous life. The last time she appeared in the live broadcast room in her previous life, the anchor was Xiao Cai.
She knew that Xiao Cai was from the same hometown as her, but she didn't know that Xiao Cai had worked as a waiter at the Guolv Hotel.
"Please enjoy your meal." Xiao Cai politely retreated. At this time, Xiao Cai did not know Su Jiaojiao. They met at Jiahe Group and had a good relationship. After she resigned from Jiahe Group, she had little contact with Xiao Cai. Later, after many twists and turns, Xiao Cai became her assistant.
"Mom, try this soup." Su Jiaojiao quickly calmed down and stood up to serve Chen Guilan some soup. The flower mushrooms were delicious, and the clams were even more delicious. The combination of flower mushrooms and clams was a collision of wild delicacies and seafood. Chen Guilan took a sip and said, "It's delicious."
The food on the table was not finished.
Su Jiaojiao went to the front desk to ask for packaging bags and packed the food. She thought it was worth saving and spending, as the food at the Guolv Hotel was worth packing. Chen Guilan was so reluctant to even give up the last bit of soup that she insisted on packing it up to take back. Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to agree to her.
When checking out, the receptionist said that room 102 had already been booked.
"Who paid the bill?" Su Jiaojiao was puzzled. She reminded the receptionist, "Please check again carefully. I didn't come out to pay the bill."
"I'm sorry, miss. We don't know who settled the contract." The receptionist smiled professionally and politely. "My records show that the contract has been settled. You can leave now."
"It must be your dad who got married." Chen Guilan didn't dwell on it and pulled Su Jiaojiao out of the hall. "If he got married, then so be it!"
"I don't think it's him." Su Jiaojiao shook her head. How could Su Houli have the money to pay for them? Besides, he wasn't that generous.
Could it be Qin Xiuming?
No way?
If it was Qin Xiuming who paid the bill, she would give him the interest as well.
"Apart from your dad, who else would it be?" Chen Guilan said disapprovingly. "Who would be so free as to pay our bill? It's several hundred yuan!"
All right!
Su Jiaojiao was no longer troubled.
Anyway, she will know it sooner or later, so let’s talk about it later!
Su Houli came out of the magnificent Guolv Hotel and did not go back to his unit. He rode his bicycle aimlessly in Jiao County. The mellow aroma of chicken and the deliciousness of sea cucumber still lingered between his lips and teeth. He knew it was his fault, but he would rather continue to make the mistake. Some roads cannot be turned back.
As I rode, it became increasingly darker in front of me.
He was shocked to realize that he had returned to Wutong Village. His home was dark and lifeless. He was too lazy to go back, so he pushed his bicycle to his eldest brother's house.
Su Cuicui was not at home because she was at work. Su Houde was sitting under the kang weaving a fishing net. Su Jinbao was lying on the kang doing his homework. Feng Yuefen was leaning against the door and scolding Su Houde, saying that he didn't go to the city to do odd jobs during the slack season. In the middle of winter, when there was not much fish in the sea, he just stayed at home weaving a broken net.
The men from the village went to work at the gates of companies in the city.
You can make ten dollars a night!
Su Houde said nothing and continued to weave the web.
Xu Yuxiang sat on the kang, looking at Su Houde with a look of disappointment. She couldn't help but defend her son: "Houde goes fishing at sea. Although he doesn't see any money, he can improve the family's food and doesn't have to buy fish. Isn't this money?"
"Mom, if we don't have money, we won't buy fish." Feng Yuefen knew her mother-in-law was protecting her son and sneered, "What man would stay at home in the middle of winter to weave fishing nets? Occasionally going out to the sea to catch some fish and shrimp is considered an improvement in life. Not eating fish won't kill you."
Su Houli parked his bicycle in the yard, took a deep breath, and walked in with his head held high.
