Wang Lanhua's originally smooth meat-cutting movements suddenly stiffened.
Suddenly, I felt that this meat looked a bit unpleasant.
She chuckled dryly twice. "Nianxue, as the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl."
Once a woman gets married, she can't just rely on her parents' family to make a living; she has to stand on her own two feet.
Your dad and I have our own problems to deal with, and your two younger brothers are still small. They might need your help in the future!
"Should I help your brother like you do?" Su Nianxue asked, scooping up the slices of meat from the pot.
When talking about her beloved younger brother, Wang Lanhua immediately became indignant, "What's wrong with my brother?"
Our son, Fugui, is quite successful now; he's running a big business.
"The fortune teller always said when I was little that our family was destined for wealth and happiness, and isn't this about to come true?"
"With you older sisters helping him out, isn't he just enjoying a life of leisure?"
Wang Lanhua's parents had five daughters before finally getting their precious son, Wang Fugui.
From a young age, Wang's parents taught their daughters that they should help their younger brother in the future.
Of course, the daughters have always carried it out very well.
Even if her own family was starving and emaciated, she would still save every last bite for her younger brother, feeding him until he was plump and healthy.
Every time Wang Fugui came to their house, Wang Lanhua would cut some meat, a rare opportunity for the Su family to enjoy meat.
Su Nianxue was too lazy to listen to her nonsense anymore, so she took the dishes and went out.
"That brat, she just can't stand to see our Wang family doing well." Wang Lanhua came to the conclusion that she must be jealous.
She's unhappy because Jiaojiao found someone from a wealthy family!
Su Nianxue took the dishes directly to the main room, and surprisingly, Su Jiaojiao also returned.
He just sat in the chair like a big shot, without moving an inch!
Su Jianguo felt a little uneasy. "Jiaojiao, you didn't even offer to help in the kitchen. Nianxue has to go help in the kitchen for her wedding."
Wang Lanhua quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Jiaojiao, aren't you tired of playing?"
Besides, Nianxue isn't an outsider. What's wrong with her coming back to her parents' home to help me, her mother, with some chores?
Su Jianguo felt somewhat embarrassed seeing Wang Lanhua treating him differently in front of his new son-in-law.
"It's all because you spoiled him."
How old is she now? If she behaves like this when she goes to her husband's family, won't they blame us parents for not raising her well?
Su Jiaojiao was a little afraid of Su Jianguo; his stern and unsmiling demeanor was quite intimidating.
She immediately stood up from her chair, said "I'm going to get the dishes," and ran off.
Wang Lanhua pouted unhappily, and looked like she was about to say something!
Su Nianxue quickly interrupted them, "Let's eat first, or the food will get cold."
She could guess what Wang Lanhua was going to say: that he felt Su Jiaojiao wasn't his biological daughter and that he was being too harsh on her.
Then Su Jianguo threw another tantrum, trying to prove that he treated his stepdaughter better than his own daughter.
That's true!
Su Nianxue has always thought so too.
She really didn't want to deal with the mess that was going on with the Su family, so she decided to eat and leave as soon as possible!
These past two days at the Gu family home have been the most relaxing days she's had in years.
Gu Yanbai is not often at home, and Grandpa Gu lives in the old house, so it's just her and Gu Yanliu at home.
The little girl is sensible and hardworking, and the two sisters-in-law get along very happily.
Anyway, it's much better than being at the Su family's place. She's only been away for a short while, but she already misses the Gu family.
Her interruption prevented the two from arguing.
Everyone took their places, and the whole family sat neatly at the table.
After half of the food and drinks had been consumed, Wang Lanhua first glanced at Su Nianxue, then spoke to Su Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, has Zhiguo said when he'll come to our house to propose marriage?"
Seeing that Su Jianguo had become more serious when the topic was brought up, Su Jianguo became more serious.
Su Jiaojiao was initially timid and hesitant after being yelled at by Su Jianguo.
Hearing them ask this question, he immediately perked up again.
"Zhiguo said that once he finishes what he's doing, he'll come to our house to propose marriage."
Mom, you don't know, Zhiguo is very skilled, and many people come to him to make clothes.
I finally managed to free up a day today.
He originally wanted to take me to Siyuan Restaurant for dinner, but I was thinking that Sister Nianxue was back.
He wanted to chat with her, but he turned it down, and Zhiguo was a little unhappy about it.
Speaking of Siyuan Restaurant, Wang Lanhua became even more energetic, "I heard that eating at Siyuan Restaurant is not cheap, why don't you go?"
I know you have a good relationship with Nianxue and her sister, but you can't spoil Zhiguo's fun too much.
The fact that he's willing to take you there to eat means he values you!
Besides, Nianxue isn't an outsider; it's no big deal if we don't see each other once.
After listening to Su Jiaojiao's words, Su Jianguo sighed almost imperceptibly.
Looking at Su Nianxue, a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes. If it weren't for his accident, with Nianxue's looks, the family she married would definitely be no worse than Jiaojiao's.
Gu Yanbai, however, blinked slightly, but ultimately remained silent.
How could Su Nianxue not understand what they meant?
He's showing off to her!
Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Lanhua asked again, "By the way, Jiaojiao, now that you've already discussed this, has he told you how much the bride price is?"
Logically speaking, this is not a question that should be asked now.
Su Jiaojiao and Wang Zhiguo haven't settled down yet!
But wasn't she eager to outdo Su Nianxue?
Su Nianxue married a good-for-nothing and still received a dowry of 500 yuan.
