Chapter 4 did not offer any comfort.



The aunties didn't care about Su Jiaojiao's feelings at all and started scolding her right there in front of her.

"That woman is heartless. She never treated Nianxue well, but she used her as a scapegoat when something happened."

"How many good stepmothers are there? It's better to just put on a show. Otherwise, why don't you see her selling her own daughter?"

"Only a fool like Su Jianguo could be so easily fooled by her, treating her daughter better than his own."

When things went wrong, he still had to rely on his own daughter.

………

Listening to the aunties' barrage of insults directed at Wang Lanhua, Su Jiaojiao was so angry she wanted to tear Su Nianxue apart.

But with so many people around, she... didn't dare!

She stomped her foot angrily and ran away. Tomorrow, when her mother came back, she would definitely make her teach Su Nianxue a lesson.

Su Nianxue said it didn't matter, since she would probably get married soon after Su Jianguo was discharged from the hospital.

If anything happens to this family in the future, it will have nothing to do with her, a married woman.

In the evening, Su Nianxue cooked dinner for herself.

After a delicious meal, I took a nice, relaxing shower and lay down on the bed – it was so comfortable!

The three people left in the yard looked at each other in bewilderment. They were used to eating ready-made meals, so what was going on?

"Su Nianxue, what do you mean?"

"You're just cooking for yourself? Aren't we going to eat?" Su Jiaojiao shouted at her with the two children.

"Don't you guys have hands?"

"Go cook for yourself if you want to eat. I'm tired and don't want to be waited on by anyone." Su Nianxue replied lazily, lying on the bed.

Anyway, she's practically invisible in this family, even though the two little ones are indeed her blood relatives.

But blood relatives and whether or not there is kinship are two different things!

"You think you're all grown up now? Don't think that just because Mom's not home, no one will discipline you!" Su Jiaojiao was furious today, having been scolded for no reason at the village entrance.

Now that she's home, she's starting to upset her again.

"Yes, that's why they disciplined you since your mom wasn't home," Su Nianxue said kindly, turning over in bed.

"you……"

Su Jiaojiao pointed at her angrily. The two used to argue, but Su Nianxue always lost because she had Wang Lanhua to help her.

But Su Nianxue, ever since those two old geezers passed away, even her father stopped helping her.

Therefore, every argument ended with Su Nianxue giving in.

"Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep."

Also, if you don't want to cook in the future, just go hungry, and don't come complaining to me!

Since she wouldn't be staying in this house for much longer anyway, why should she make herself suffer?

She had fulfilled her filial duty as a son to her father, Su Jianguo.

"I'll deal with you when Mom gets back!" Seeing her mother's firm attitude, Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to leave with the two children.

A short while later, the smell of burning food came from the direction of the kitchen.

Su Nianxue's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Wang Lanhua has many flaws, but she has one good quality: she is fiercely protective of her own.

He treated his children well, and he especially pampered Su Jiaojiao, making her live like a pampered young lady, never lifting a finger.

She's already of marriageable age, and she can't even cook a meal.

But what does all this have to do with her?

She pulled the blanket over her head and quickly fell asleep.

In the kitchen, the two children frowned. "Second sister, it's burned like this, how are we supposed to eat?"

Su Jiaojiao looked at the dark bowl of rice and lost her appetite, but she was always stubborn and wouldn't tolerate others saying such things to her.

"Eat it or not, it's up to you. If you don't want to eat, then go hungry."

She hadn't cooked for years since she came to the Su family with Wang Lanhua; it was always that wretched girl Su Nianxue who did the cooking.

Now that she's found someone to back her up, she dares to shirk responsibility?

She vowed that when her mother returned, she would definitely make her teach Su Nianxue a lesson.

To avenge today's humiliation!

However, she quickly remembered something else: if Su Nianxue got married, who would do all the housework?

The two children frowned as they looked at the bowl of dark, unappetizing stuff, feeling quite resistant.

Eating this stuff will surely give me diarrhea!

But they were so hungry that they hadn't eaten lunch. If they didn't eat soon, how would they sleep tonight?

After thinking about it, they had no choice but to pinch their noses and force the food into their mouths.

The next day, Su Nianxue got up early.

She only cooked for three people, ate it herself first, then packed it up and went to the county.

As expected, by the time the other three members of the Su family got up, the pot was so clean you could see your reflection in it.

When Su Nianxue arrived at the hospital, Su Jianguo had already woken up.

Su Nianxue put her things down and asked, "Dad, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better now!"

"It's Nianxue. Your mother said the family has borrowed a lot of money, and it will probably take a while to pay it off!" Su Jianguo's face was still pale, but his spirits had improved considerably.

Su Nianxue gave Wang Lanhua a half-smile. She knew she hadn't handled things properly, so she didn't dare tell the truth.

Wang Lanhua felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, but she was certain that Su Nianxue wouldn't reveal the truth, after all, he was her own father.

If she didn't care about him, she wouldn't have bothered marrying a good-for-nothing to get money for his father's medical expenses.

Sure enough, Su Nianxue nodded calmly, "Yes, we borrowed them from relatives."

Don't think about too much right now. Getting well is the most important thing. We'll pay you back slowly once you're better.

Su Jianguo suddenly felt that his daughter had become much more sensible. In the past, when the father and daughter were together, they never spoke so calmly.

"Okay, once Dad gets better, we'll work hard and we'll definitely pay it back."

Su Nianxue smiled and took out a lunchbox from the mesh bag. "I cooked some porridge for you and also prepared some pickled vegetables."

The doctor said you need to eat something light now.

"When you get better, I'll buy you meat to eat."

Seeing that she was about to feed him, Su Jianguo quickly took the spoon from her, saying, "Dad, do it yourself."

He wasn't used to the father and daughter being so close after so many years of estrangement.

Seeing that he was alright, Su Nianxue let it go.

Wang Lanhua was somewhat absent-minded as she rummaged through the food in her lunchbox.

她想要是苏建国知道,是她逼着苏念雪嫁给顾彦白的,大概会揍她吧!

During this time, Gu Yanbai brought canned fruit to the hospital, but Su Nianxue prevented him from entering the ward.

Gu Yanbai was a little unhappy. "What kind of son-in-law is like me, who has already given a dowry but hasn't met his father-in-law yet?"

“My dad knows you, and you’ve met him before,” Su Nianxue comforted her.

Gu Yanbai's reputation was so great that there was no one in the surrounding villages who didn't know him.

The common saying among the women in the village when educating their children is, "If you don't study hard, you'll end up like that good-for-nothing Gu Yanbai, a grown man who can't even find a wife."

"Su Nianxue, why are you pretending to be confused with me?"

Is seeing the same as seeing a person?

"Did I visit him as his son-in-law?" Gu Yanbai's eyes widened, and his aura suddenly became more aggressive.

He said he was not comforted.
