Chapter 63: You Know a Person's Face, Not His Heart
The light was on in the house.
Everything I see is blurry and unclear.
Su Houde was reluctant to change the light bulb to a higher wattage one.
"His second uncle is back." Feng Yuefen immediately put on a smile, "Not working overtime tonight?"
"No overtime." Su Houli saw that his sister-in-law was in a good mood and felt a little bit at home. "There's nothing to do at the factory. I came back to see our mother."
"Our mother eats well and dresses well, so you don't have to worry." Feng Yuefen replied with a smile, and then asked with a smile, "When will Cuicui rest?"
"After this busy month, she can take a few days off." Su Houli restrained his expression and said solemnly, "She will come back when she is free. Don't call her unless necessary."
Feng Yuefen said "oh" and asked him with a smile, "Uncle, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten." Su Houli went straight to Xu Yuxiang's room. Xu Yuxiang sat by the kang and asked him to sit down. She said deliberately, "You're back just in time. Just now your sister-in-law was scolding your brother for not going to the city to guard the gate. Go back and find him a job as a gatekeeper!"
"Mother, look at what you said. I was just saying it casually." Feng Yuefen made some tea and brought it over, her tone brightening. "Uncle, if there's a job like this, tell your eldest brother. You can make hundreds of dollars this winter!"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out. If there is any problem, I'll let my eldest brother go." Su Houli agreed without hesitation. He knew that if he didn't take care of this matter, his eldest sister-in-law might complain at home. He did this for the sake of family unity.
After the mother and daughter exchanged pleasantries, Xu Yuxiang lowered her voice and asked Su Houli, "How's your thing going?"
She will move in with Su Houli next month.
She had to figure out how the move would work this time. If Su Houli really divorced, then she would move over completely. She would no longer have to squeeze in with Su Houde's family, and she would no longer have to look at Feng Yuefen's face.
"I talked to Chen Guilan tonight, and she agreed." Su Houli didn't want to talk about it, as it made him annoyed, but he couldn't help but say, "It's just that they want the house and land."
"What?" Xu Yuxiang was about to explode when she heard this, and she immediately started to sing, "The house and the land belong to us. They are just dreaming!"
The house and land are the ancestral property of the Su family.
Chen Guilan is really asking for too much, she dares to ask for everything!
"Mom, keep your voice down." Su Houli didn't want Su Houde and Feng Yuefen to know about this. Su Houde continued to weave his web, as if he hadn't heard anything. But Feng Yuefen, who was at the door, heard everything clearly and said in a fuss, "They are going too far! Even if they don't divorce, the house and land are not theirs. We still have Jinbao at home!"
Su Jiaojiao is just a girl.
Sooner or later you will get married.
Standing in front of his nephew's door, he is not considered a family without a family. When Su Houli gets old, he will have to rely on Su Jinbao for his retirement, so the house should be left to their Jinbao.
"Sister-in-law, I'm still young, let's not talk about this for now." Su Houli was very disgusted when he heard this. He was not even forty years old, and his sister-in-law had already started to covet his house. No one dared to say what would happen in the future. Maybe he could even give birth to a son!
"Uncle, that's not what I meant. I meant that the house and land must not be given to them." Feng Yuefen knew that this was not appropriate, but she had to make it clear. "Jiaojiao is your daughter, but she is a girl after all, and belongs to someone else's family. How can we give our house and land to outsiders?"
"Yes, I don't agree anyway." Xu Yuxiang became even more angry, spitting out her words. "Chen Guilan seemed so silent, but who knew she was so evil and wanted to take over our house? You can only judge a person by their appearance."
"That's right, don't even think about it." Feng Yuefen was also very angry, as if Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao had snatched her family's house. She always thought that as long as Su Houli didn't have a son, his house would belong to her son by default. Su Jiaojiao, a little girl, also wanted a house. It was so ridiculous!
Su Houli saw that their words were full of calculations, and suddenly he couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and went back home.
There is no one at home and there is no smell of smoke.
The yard was relatively clean, and the chickens in the chicken coop were doing well. There was no need to guess. Before leaving, Chen Guilan must have asked Chen Juan to come and help look after the yard. That was how Chen Guilan was. She would rather let her niece come to look after the yard than let Xu Yuxiang and Feng Yuefen interfere. After all, she still didn't trust them.
The kang was as cold as ice.
The sewing machine was also covered with a cover, and everything indicated that the owner would not be back in the short term.
Su Houli lay alone on the cold kang, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He didn't want to live a life like Su Houde, but to break away from this kind of life, he needed enough courage and determination. Chen Guilan agreed to divorce, but asked for the house and land. However, Xu Yuxiang, Feng Yuefen and Su Xiumei would definitely not agree. He also felt that they were going too far. He was the party at fault, but it didn't mean that he had to leave the house with nothing.
But if the case goes to court, the consequences will be something he cannot bear.
If he settled it privately, the result would be something he wouldn't be able to accept.
Unless Chen Guilan changes her mind and gives up the house and land, the key lies in Chen Guilan. As long as Chen Guilan agrees to do so, no matter how scheming Su Jiaojiao is, it will be of no avail.
After thinking about it, he felt that he had to talk to Chen Guilan alone. The family's entire property was the house and land. If he gave it all to her, he would have no place to live when he returned to the village.
Coincidentally, Su Jiaojiao thought so too.
She was worried that Chen Guilan agreed to the divorce on impulse, and if Su Houli took advantage of her absence and tricked her into getting a divorce certificate, all her efforts would be wasted.
The next morning, while the mother and daughter were selling goods at the door, she continued to persuade Chen Guilan: "Mom, since we've asked for the house and land, you absolutely cannot give in. If my dad doesn't agree, we won't divorce. No matter what anyone says, you must not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau alone with my dad. You must let me know, and I'll go with you."
"I know." Chen Guilan silently accepted this fact. Looking at the cotton-padded jackets and trousers hanging on the clothes rack, she murmured, "I don't want to think about anything else right now. I just want to make more money every day. As long as you are well, Mom is not afraid of anything."
The woman is younger and prettier than her.
She is indeed not as good as others.
"Mom, you have to cheer up, then I can really feel at ease." Su Jiaojiao was very worried when she saw Chen Guilan's listless appearance. "If you continue like this and get sick, what should I do?"
In her previous life, Chen Guilan was depressed and unhappy, which is why she got this disease.
As a daughter, of course she cannot watch her mother repeat the same mistakes, otherwise, what is the point of her rebirth!
"I'm fine..." Chen Guilan wiped her tears. She just felt wronged and wanted to find a place to cry. Just because she didn't give birth to a son for Su Houli, could Su Houli abandon her at will?
Su Jiaojiao has never been married, but she has experienced love.
She understood Chen Guilan's feelings.
In her previous life, she took more than half a year to get over the emotional trauma, not to mention her mother, a well-behaved middle-aged woman.
For Chen Guilan, being divorced was like the sky falling.
