Su Jiaojiao glanced at him with disgust; he was just a good-for-nothing.
He looks alright on the surface, but deep down he's someone who can't stand up for himself.
When a wife gets pregnant, doesn't the man treat her like a precious treasure?
Even Su Nianxue, that good-for-nothing, knows this principle, so why is he the only one who doesn't understand it?
He not only watched as Hu Guizhen was sent to work at the brick factory, but he also let her swagger off to collect her wages.
He didn't even consider that he and his wife could have lived an easy life, so why did they have to drag this whole family along?
How could she not know what Hu Guizhen was planning?
Since she entered the house, she had heard the old woman boast about those two little brats quite a bit.
They said that because they were good at their studies, the Wang family would definitely produce two college students in the future.
In her opinion, no matter how good her grades are, it has nothing to do with her.
Even if they become successful in the future, they will still be filial to their parents.
How much benefit can the eldest brother and sister-in-law really enjoy?
So why should she use the money she worked so hard to earn to support them?
When she first arrived at the brick factory, she was unfamiliar with the place and had no choice but to watch helplessly as Hu Guizhen appropriated her wages.
For this, she almost gritted her teeth to pieces. Who was Su Jiaojiao? When had she ever suffered such a loss?
Later, after staying there for a while, she got to know some people. She cried to them to gain their sympathy while also trying to build relationships with them.
It took a lot of effort to win those people over.
Her wages were finally returned to her.
She had anticipated this would happen, so she hasn't gone back to the Wang family at all these days.
But Hu Guizhen was not easily fooled; she barged into the factory and dragged her back by force.
As soon as she entered, she was asked to take out all the money she had on her.
How could she agree?
I thought that since she was pregnant, the old woman would at least have to be a little more considerate.
Unexpectedly, that crazy woman...
But Wang Zhiguo was like a coward, hiding in his room and not uttering a sound.
Later, the neighbors heard her screams and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so they came over and offered some words of advice.
He then reluctantly came out of the room and took her to the hospital.
But after such a long delay, the baby couldn't be saved.
She should have been heartbroken.
But now, she felt no sadness at all; instead, she felt a sense of relief and liberation.
It's better that this child is gone.
Now she can completely sever ties with the Wang family.
She thought it was time for her to leave the Wang family, this hellhole.
She didn't want to waste her youth on this family of scoundrels.
"Jiaojiao, eat something. How can you get better if you don't eat?"
"Get lost." Su Jiaojiao squeezed out a single word from her throat, not even sparing him a glance.
Just looking at him makes me feel disgusted.
She thought she must have been blind to have mistaken him for a good person.
She thought that marrying him would bring her a good life, but she never expected that her life would be even worse than that of the Su family!
“Jiaojiao…” Wang Zhiguo moved his lips a couple of times, his eyes filled with guilt, heartache, and disappointment.
Su Jiaojiao grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her head; it was better to see nothing at all.
Wang Zhiguo said, "Then I'll leave the food here for you to eat."
I'll go buy some pork ribs later and stew them for you tonight, then bring them over.
But by the time he arrived at the hospital with a can of spare ribs, the person in the bed was already gone.
I heard from the hospital staff that she was discharged that afternoon.
"The child is innocent; I hope he's alright," Su Nianxue sighed.
Yang Hongxing shook her head, "I don't know about that."
Soon, Gu Yanliu returned with a basket full of shepherd's purse, topped with a few wild scallions and a small handful of toon sprouts.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the work in the fields was almost done.
Taozi finally had time to come over for a visit.
Su Nianxue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are such a busy person. It feels like I haven't seen you in ages."
Peach waved her hand, "Isn't there no other way?"
It's spring planting season now, and there's so much work to do in the fields. How can I not help?"
"That's true. With someone helping out, it'll be easier for my brother."
Looking back now, they have no idea how Gu Yansong managed to get through all these years.
The Liu family has so many fields, and he has to manage them all by himself. That must be so tiring!
"Sister-in-law, what are you growing in your field? I saw it when I passed by yesterday, and it doesn't look like corn or sweet potatoes," Gu Yanliu interjected.
"Oh, we've planted some tobacco."
"Dry tobacco?" Not many people in the village grow that stuff.
Usually, people plant a few trees in front of their houses or on the ridges of fields, just enough for their own family to smoke.
"Yes, I've discussed it with your older brother."
Our family is small, and we can't eat that much food.
So they set aside some land and planted a large plot of tobacco.
We went to the supply and marketing cooperative that day and the price was pretty good, so we're planning to give it a try.
She also sold bean sprouts for a while, so her horizons broadened somewhat.
These days, she has been thinking about this matter. You can't make much money by farming alone.
They weren't good at anything else, but farming was one of their best skills.
"That works too. If the market is good, it's much more profitable than farming," Su Nianxue praised.
