Chapter 60: Landlord's Daughter Lin Jianqiu
Lu Xiao’s words made Su Tang feel warm in his heart, but Su Tang also understood the general idea in his heart.
This family compound looks like a blessed place for family reunions.
But for people like them with "problematic" backgrounds, when they first stepped in, every step they took was like stepping on a needle tip.
When she thinks about the pointing and criticizing when she first came, she still feels a little upset.
Lu Xiao felt sorry for her and didn't want her to go through that humiliation again.
What's more, I can't bear to see her put herself in the spotlight again in order to help others.
Su Tang understood how good he was to her.
But looking at Chang Jia's scratching face, and thinking about his mixed feelings, Su Tang also understood.
As a woman herself, Su Tang understands the difficulties faced by Chang Jia's wife.
"It's okay, Chang Jia is your friend. When his wife comes here in the future, I can't help but get along with her."
Su Tang put her arms around Lu Xiao's neck and sat directly on his lap.
"Although Chang Jia may not mind, this is a knot after all. I don't want this matter to ruin the brotherhood between you and Chang Jia that we've been having for so many years."
Listening to Su Tang's heartwarming words, Lu Xiao held her waist with his hands.
"Thank you, wife, for thinking of me."
Lu Xiao curled up the corners of his lips and thanked Su Tang.
But he also said that if you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to help.
Just stop when the time comes. Chang Jia can't say that they didn't help.
"good."
Su Tang agreed with a smile. Lu Xiao smelled the pleasant scent on her body and felt a little distracted.
I didn’t think about it before when I didn’t have it, but now that I have it, I really want to think about it every day.
No wonder people say that the land of pleasure is the land of heroes.
Su Tang went to work in the afternoon. After arriving at the hospital, he learned that Zheng Jinxin had signed up for further studies and would go somewhere else for half a year.
"She is too embarrassed to stay here."
"I've always looked down on her."
Everyone was talking at once, and Su Tang also learned the truth of the matter from them.
Zheng Jinxin felt that she was being treated differently, especially after what happened with Wang Jianfeng.
In addition, the relationship between Su Tang and Lu Xiao was getting better and better, so Zheng Jinxin didn't have the face to stay here any longer.
So I just left.
There is no harm in furthering her studies. She is also a smart person and knows how to make choices.
Without Zheng Jinxin, Su Tang felt relaxed and comfortable.
After a comprehensive assessment of Su Tang, the hospital leaders directly made him a regular employee.
Now she is a formal employee of the hospital. In addition to enjoying various welfare benefits, she can also undergo surgery.
This is really great news for Su Tang.
However, because of the previous incident, Dr. Wang became an intern and was assigned to work under Su Tang.
Both of them felt a little uncomfortable, but Dr. Wang really needed to practice with Su Tang.
The fact that he was not fired shows that the hospital still wants to train Dr. Wang.
In this way, Su Tang became busier day by day. Sometimes when she returned home, Lu Xiao saw that she was so tired that she fell asleep immediately, and he was reluctant to bother her anymore.
A few days later, it was noon, a rare sunny day.
Su Tang was off duty and was sitting in the shade under the eaves mending Lu Xiao's clothes that were worn out during training.
All I heard was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard. It was Chang Jia's voice, and also a thin, soft, and a little timid voice.
Su Tang put down her needle and thread and looked outside the door.
The door was pushed open, and Chang Jia was carrying a large bag, grinning, "Sister-in-law."
"I said to go home first, but Jianqiu insisted on coming to visit you. Come, Jianqiu, this is the Su Tang I told you about."
He moved aside and a figure moved in cautiously.
This is Chang Jia’s daughter-in-law, Lin Jianqiu.
This young lady from the landlord's family was basically exactly as she had imagined.
Lin Jianqiu was wearing an old-fashioned light blue suit that had been washed to a pale color, but was obviously made of very good material. His hair was combed meticulously in a bun with a plain silver hairpin inserted in it.
Her face was the oval face of an old-fashioned lady, with long and thin eyebrows and eyes, and her skin was very white, so white that it seemed to lack color.
She clutched a small bundle tightly in her hand, lowered her head, and glanced quickly across the yard with the alertness and uneasiness of a small animal.
The most eye-catching thing was Lin Jianqiu's feet, wearing black cloth shoes of old-fashioned style that he had sewn himself.
When he walked, his body swayed slightly, his steps were small and broken, and his center of gravity seemed unstable, which was heartbreaking to watch.
Those are the marks of feet that were once bound and then unbound.
"sister in law."
Su Tang suppressed his emotions, revealed a gentle smile, and took the initiative to greet him: "Come into the house and rest first, it's very hot."
Lin Jianqiu quickly raised his eyes to glance at Su Tang, then quickly lowered them again, his voice as soft as a mosquito's: "Sorry to bother you, Miss Su."
She subconsciously wanted to kneel down and salute, but as soon as her body moved, she probably felt something was wrong and stopped abruptly, a trace of embarrassment flashing across her face.
Su Tang saw it all, but said nothing. He naturally reached out to take the small bag from her hand: "Give it to me, sister-in-law. Brother Chang Jia, put down the big bag quickly. You're sweating all over."
She spoke in a natural tone and moved skillfully, trying her best to make the atmosphere less awkward.
Chang Jia smiled and unloaded the big bag at the door, and Su Tang hurried to pour water for Lin Jianqiu.
Lin Jianqiu sat awkwardly on the chair, his back straight, his hands on his knees, his fingers nervously twisting the corners of his clothes.
She looked at Su Tang secretly.
This legendary Miss Capital was wearing a simple floral shirt and blue cloth pants.
Her hair was simply tied back, revealing her smooth forehead.
Her eyes were bright and her movements were indescribably decisive, completely different from the "young lady" she had imagined.
This made her feel even more uncertain and ashamed of herself.
The two of them stayed for a while and then left, leaving Su Tang with the local specialties that Lin Jianqiu had specially brought for him.
Su Tang looked at the backs of the two people, thoughtful.
Lin Jianqiu should never go out of the house, right?
Otherwise, why would he be so timid when meeting people?
When Lu Xiao came back in the evening, Su Tang specially fried some local specialties for him.
"Chang Jia's hometown is very remote, and there's no communication there."
“When we first started the literacy campaign, we didn’t even include them.”
Su Tang asked about his doubts, and Lu Xiao explained.
Because it is too isolated, many people don’t know that the world outside has changed.
So when Lin Jianqiu was born, he still followed the custom and had his feet bound. By the time they knew about the new society, it was already too late.
She is the last relic of the old era. Everyone despises her, but Chang Jia does not.
He married her and gave her the greatest confidence.
Both of them were arranged marriages and were childhood sweethearts, but Chang Jia was not Wang Jianfeng, so Lin Jianqiu was much luckier than Zhang Cui.
"She seems like a very well-behaved and polite person. She shouldn't be too difficult to get along with."
Su Tang said this thoughtfully. Lu Xiao put a piece of food in her bowl with chopsticks and nodded slightly.
"Chang Jia's personality means his wife isn't a bad person, except that she's a little... old-fashioned."
After careful consideration, Lu Xiao said this.
Lin Jianqiu has never been to school and cannot read, but she is good at calculating. Back in her hometown, she takes good care of everything.
However, Chang Jia said that in some matters, the etiquette she learned since childhood can never be changed.
