You know, the last time she shamelessly went to her parents' house to ask for money, her parents had already made things difficult for her.
Her mother even pointed at her nose and scolded her for being useless.
She said that even though she had been in the Su family for so many years and had given birth to two sons for Su Jianguo, she still couldn't control the family.
She felt she couldn't refute that statement at all.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that she probably wouldn't be able to get the rest of the money back.
But now Su Jianguo is forcing her to go back to her parents' home to ask for money, and she is having a very difficult time now.
But in front of her stepdaughter, she resolutely refused to show her vulnerable side, stubbornly insisting,
"Fugui treats Dalong and Xiaolong very well, and he wouldn't want to hold them back!"
He's just short of money, isn't he?
Otherwise, why would I have asked you?
Wang Lanhua felt extremely guilty, but she was used to being tough in front of Su Nianxue, so how could she admit that she was wrong?
Seeing that she couldn't get any money from her, Wang Lanhua gave up on talking to her anymore.
He hastily chopped the meat off the cutting board and then took the stir-fried dish to the main room.
Su Nianxue smiled and took the remaining dishes outside.
Just as the family was about to start eating, Su Jiaojiao entered the house at the perfect moment.
Su Nianxue looked at her and clicked her tongue twice.
She's even gotten so used to slacking off that she always manages to get home just in time for meals.
They never missed three meals a day, and they didn't have to do any work.
That's a skill in itself.
"Does it really take this long to get some clothes?"
Su Jianguo's face darkened immediately when he saw her relaxed and carefree demeanor.
Su Jiaojiao calmly took out a bottle of wine from the cloth bag she was carrying.
"Dad, Zhiguo knows it's your birthday today, so he specially went to the liquor store to buy you a pound of liquor."
He's been very busy these days and hasn't had time to come home.
However, he said that once he has some free time, he'll definitely come over and have a few drinks with you.
Wang Lanhua's face lit up with a smile as soon as she saw the bottle of wine. "Zhiguo is such a kind boy. He didn't even come in person, but he sent the gift first."
"Come on, Dad, you're in a good mood today. Have a drink with your son-in-law at noon too."
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled the cork off the bottle and poured the wine into their bowls.
Su Nianxue pursed her lips. It's just a pound of wine.
Is it really that strange?
But it's just a random fare from a roadside shop, yet she's showing it off like this.
However, seeing her attentive manner, Su Jianguo's expression softened somewhat.
"Okay, Yanbai, let's have a drink together today."
Gu Yanbai refused, "I'm not drinking, I have things to do this afternoon!"
Su Jianguo was in high spirits and urged, "Come on, have a drink. It's rare for the two of us to get together."
"Whatever it is, let's put it aside for now and talk about it later."
In truth, he didn't think he had anything important to do at all; he was probably just out wandering around town after eating.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Gu Yanbai suddenly turned his head and said, "Nianxue, do you think I should drink this wine? I'll do whatever you say!"
This single word, "Nianxue," sent shivers down Su Nianxue's spine.
You should know that since they got married, they have always called each other by their full names.
Hearing him call her Nianxue so softly all of a sudden made her feel unaccustomed and a little... awkward.
"If you want to drink, just drink. Why are you asking me?"
"I was just thinking about going back this afternoon to help you grind grain, wasn't I?"
"If I'd been drinking, I wouldn't have had the energy to do all this."
Su Nianxue was about to say that she didn't need to trouble him with her own affairs.
He stared at her with a slightly warning look, the meaning of which was clear: try and sabotage him if you dare.
Su Nianxue...
She clearly didn't want to drink, but she used her as a shield. But what can she do when someone else's arm is thicker than her thigh?
"Alright then, don't drink it. Save your energy to help me grind grain this afternoon!"
Upon realizing that the other person was dealing with serious matters, Su Jianguo abandoned his intention to persuade him to drink further.
"Alright, since you have important business to attend to, then don't drink. Business is more important."
After saying that, she ignored him and poured herself a bowl of wine.
The meal was finished quickly.
Su Jiaojiao wanted to show off her new clothes.
But after seeing Su Nianxue's outfit, he suppressed his thoughts.
The new clothes she was wearing this time were quite different from what she was wearing when I last met her in town.
I don't know where they got so much money to buy new clothes?
How can you make so much money just by selling tofu and bean sprouts?
She would never believe it, no matter what.
There's only one explanation: that good-for-nothing Gu Yanbai bought it for her.
I wonder where he got so much money?
It's probably not clean money!
Thinking of this, she glanced at them with disdain.
Her boyfriend is better; he's not only good-looking but also has great skills.
Once they get married, she'll definitely have no trouble finding new clothes to wear.
The two had been rivals since childhood. Su Nianxue could tell from Su Jiaojiao's eyes that she was definitely up to no good.
However, since the other party didn't speak up, she was too lazy to stir up trouble.
After this trip and lunch, my birthday is officially over.
The two then leisurely returned to Hongxi Village.
As soon as Gu Yanliu saw them, she jumped out of the house and said, "The sun is still blazing, why don't you play a little longer?"
Gu Yanbai gave her a deep look, then said, "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to sleep."
Su Nianxue felt that he was helping her out of a predicament, although it might not necessarily be for her sake.
"You've carried me all day, you must be tired. Go get some sleep!"
Gu Yanbai grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her into the house. "Together!"
