Chapter 74 The original heroine appears
The name that came out of Lu Xiao's mouth made Su Tang stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.
She almost forgot about the good times during this period...
She is just a supporting character in this book.
Su Xinyao is the heroine of this book.
"Tangtang? What's wrong?"
Noticing that Su Tang was in a bad mood and looked cold, Lu Xiao quickly asked with a worried tone in his voice.
Su Tang suddenly came to his senses, quickly suppressed his uneasiness, and forced a smile.
"Nothing, I just heard the name suddenly, it sounds familiar? I can't remember it clearly."
She made up an excuse, not wanting Lu Xiao to notice anything.
The original book didn't mention Su Xinyao much, so Su Tang didn't know what was going on for the time being and planned to sit tight.
Lu Xiao frowned and looked at her face carefully: "Are you okay? You look a little pale."
"It's really okay!"
Su Tang quickly changed the subject and pushed him.
"Maybe I was too engrossed in what Master Li was saying just now and I'm a little tired. Go wash your face quickly, you're covered in dust! I'll go cook."
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the stove, moving a little quickly, as if trying to avoid Lu Xiao's inquiring gaze.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Lu Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but a shadow remained in his mind.
He knew that Su Tang was not the kind of person who would change his face for no reason.
He responded, "Okay, I'll go wash up first. You can rest for a while and then do it. There's no rush."
After saying that, he went out to fetch water.
Su Tang stood by the stove, holding the fire tongs in his hand, but did not move for a long time.
My mind was in a mess. Sometimes I saw Li Haixin's honest and stubborn face, and sometimes I saw Zhang Cui's back as she ran away with the wheat ears.
But in the end, it all turned into three words: Su Xinyao, which burned into her heart like a branding iron.
"well……"
She sighed softly.
When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth!
Right now, Mrs. Zhang Cui’s matter is more important.
Li Haixin's heart seems genuine.
Two days later, Su Tang saw that Zhang Cui looked better, so he went to visit her whenever he had time.
Zhang Cui's house is not big, but it is very clean.
Mai Sui was playing nearby. When he saw Su Tang coming, he called out crisply, "Auntie Su!"
"Hey, Wheat Ear is so good."
Su Tang smiled and touched her head, then stuffed a few pieces of candy in her hand into her hands: "Auntie brought some candy for us Mai Sui~"
Zhang Cui was mending an old dress. Seeing Su Tang coming, she quickly put down her needle and thread and said, "Sister, please sit down."
There was still a hint of worry on her face.
Su Tang sat down next to her, looked at Mai Sui's back, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, Mai Sui hasn't asked about Master Li these past two days?"
Zhang Cui shook her head and said softly, "I didn't ask. If I didn't ask, she wouldn't make a fuss. It's just... sometimes when I see her staring longingly in the direction of the cafeteria, I feel..."
She couldn't continue speaking, her eyes were a little red.
Li Haixin took good care of them before, and always thought of Mai Sui when he had anything delicious.
Maybe for Mai Sui, Li Haixin is more responsible than Wang Jianfeng.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad."
Su Tang patted her hands and said, "It's a good thing that the child is sensible. But for some things, we adults have to think more about the children and ourselves."
Zhang Cui raised her head, her eyes a little confused.
Su Tang carefully considered his words: "Master Li actually came to see Lu Xiao and me later that day."
Zhang Cui's hands visibly stiffened.
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, just listen to me."
Su Tang quickly comforted him: "He didn't mean anything else, he just felt suffocated and wanted to talk to someone. I heard everything he said."
Su Tang told Zhang Cui in detail how anxious Li Haixin was that day, how he promised her, and how he was willing to "risk his reputation" to protect her and her daughter.
Especially emphasized that life is for yourself, not for others to see
Zhang Cui listened with her head down, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.
"Sister-in-law, Master Li, we've been in the same camp for so many years, who doesn't know who he is?"
Seeing that Zhang Cui was a little shaken, Su Tang softened his voice.
"He's just a kind, honest man, without any twists and turns. He feels sorry for you raising Mai Sui alone, and he feels sorry for Mai Sui being well-behaved and sensible. This feeling is genuine."
She paused and looked at Zhang Cui: "Lu Xiao also said that he saw Master Li's responsibility.
Sister-in-law, sometimes, when people are too strong-willed, it only brings suffering to themselves and their children.
There is someone who understands you, genuinely wants to be good to you, and is willing to live your life together. Why would you push that person away?
Are you afraid of those harmless gossips? Can gossips be eaten as food, worn as clothes, or protect wheat ears from wind and rain?
Every word Su Tang said struck Zhang Cui's heart.
She remembered that Li Haixin always secretly put an extra spoonful of vegetables into her bowl in the cafeteria.
When Mai Sui fell ill, he helped push the cart to take her to the clinic in the middle of the night.
There was also that time when it rained heavily and her roof leaked, and he was the first one to come over with a ladder to help fix it...
"I know... he's good..."
Zhang Cui's voice was a little choked with sobs: "But I... I'm not worthy of her... and she has a child... From now on..."
"sister in law!"
Su Tang interrupted her: "What's the point of saying they're compatible? Life is about two people supporting each other. It's about affection, not who's compatible with whom! Mai Sui is such a good child. Master Li really wants to treat her like his own daughter! Ask Mai Sui if Uncle Li treats her well?"
Although Mai Sui didn't understand everything, when he heard Uncle Li mentioned, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Hello, Uncle Li!"
The child's innocent words shone into the darkest corner of Zhang Cui's heart like sunshine.
She finally couldn't help but shed tears, not because of sadness, but because of the grievances that had been pent up for too long and a little bit of...relaxation.
Su Tang put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Master Li said that he is upright and not afraid of what others say.
The same goes for you and the wheat ear! Let's live our lives openly and do whatever we want.
Over time, everyone will know clearly whether it's good or bad. If you live a prosperous and fulfilling life, those gossips will naturally disappear!
Zhang Cui leaned on Su Tang's shoulder, crying silently, but her shoulders were not as tense as before.
After a long while, she wiped her face with her sleeve. Her voice was still a little hoarse, but there was something different in her eyes: "I, think about it again."
Su Tang knew that just thinking about it was a good thing. She smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, take your time to think about it. There's still a long time to go, so there's no rush. The key is that we have to find a comfortable place for Mai Sui and ourselves."
Seeing that Zhang Cui's emotions had stabilized a little, Su Tang talked with Mai Sui for a while before leaving.
As she walked out of the yard, she felt a little relieved.
There is finally some hope for Zhang Cui.
But when he looked up and saw the direction of the camp office building in the distance, Su Tang's heart sank again.
Su Xinyao...she is really coming.
It is certain that he will confront Su Xinyao at that time. For some reason, Su Tang just felt very uneasy.
