"Why did you fight that time? Did Su Jiaojiao bully you?" He put his arm around her shoulder again and tucked the blanket around her.
“Yes!” Su Nianxue nodded. “Ever since she came to the Su family, she has been bullying me behind my back, relying on Wang Lanhua’s support.”
I used to live with my grandparents.
After my grandparents passed away, I started living with them.
The fight happened because Wang Lanhua took my tuition money.
That money was her grandmother's savings for her school fees.
While her grandmother was passing away, Wang Lanhua took everything from the house, which was in complete disarray.
Although those things happened several years ago, she still feels sad when she talks about them.
She loves reading and gets good grades. Her grandma used to say she wanted to send her to university!
She remembered Wang Lanhua clutching that sum of money in her hand, and said it with righteous indignation.
"Girls will belong to someone else's family sooner or later, so it's a waste of money to study so much."
You'd be better off giving that money to your family and improving their meals!
So she took my tuition money and made a new set of clothes for each of the five members of their family.
Later, when her brother Wang Fugui came to visit, she went to town and bought two jin of meat.
That money is just gone!
If the money had been given by Su Jianguo, she wouldn't have been so heartbroken.
The key point is that that money had absolutely nothing to do with their family.
It was just her and her grandmother who, whenever they had free time, would go to other people's wheat fields to pick up ears of wheat to feed the chickens so they could lay eggs.
He would go up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs, and when he had free time, he would sew insoles to sell at the supply and marketing cooperative. That's how he saved up his money, penny by penny.
It's no exaggeration to say that during those years they ate very bland food, just to save money on salt.
Hearing the sadness in her words, Gu Yanbai finally understood why she showed no warmth towards the Su family.
They wouldn't even give them a little bit of fruit.
She preferred to give the gifts he bought for the bride's return visit to Gu Yanliu rather than take any of them back with her.
They really were bullying us.
"Don't be afraid, they won't be able to bully you anymore."
He decided that from now on, he would only need to maintain a superficial relationship with the Su family.
It doesn't make much difference whether the wife's family is there or not.
"I'm not afraid of them at all!"
That time, Su Jiaojiao showed off her new clothes to me again and again.
I was so angry that I beat her up badly.
What he saw as ferocity was actually a girl's resistance when she was forced into a corner.
He felt a mix of heartache and anger.
He patted her shoulder gently, the movement slightly awkward.
"Okay, don't be angry."
From now on, we won't give them anything good.
"That's right, let them see it but not touch it, and let them get so angry they'll die."
Recalling the times Wang Lanhua had been humiliated, she felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
"Can you sleep now?" A large hand gently caressed her waist.
"I'm sleepy!" She pulled the blanket over her head.
Looking at her, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he reached out and tugged at the light cord on the bedside table.
The room was immediately plunged into darkness.
Market day arrived soon, and Gu Yanbai stayed at home for the past few days.
With his help, the work is much faster.
The three of them went to town together early in the morning.
Taking advantage of a break from her business, Wang Erya asked, "I heard you went to the county town?"
Su Nianxue nodded, "Yes, my husband insisted that I go to the county to take a look."
"Did you see a doctor? What did the doctor say?" Wang Erya had been feeling very anxious these past few days.
She was afraid that her talkativeness would offend people by making them think she was a gossip.
She didn't have many friends in the village; Su Nianxue and her sister-in-law were her only two friends.
Su Nianxue smiled and said, "I saw a doctor, and he said there's nothing wrong."
"Take a few doses of medicine to regulate your body, and just be more careful in the future."
Wang Erya breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for being so talkative.
If she hadn't been so talkative, people wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble in the county. Wasn't that just making them waste their money?
"Er Ya, don't say that."
"If you hadn't scared me like that, I might not have been planning to see a doctor right now."
Grandma used to tell Wang Lanhua that this was no big deal, and that many women had this problem.
It will get better on its own as you get older.
She has always thought so too.
So even when Gu Yanbai suggested that she go to the hospital for a check-up, she would try to refuse whenever possible.
To be honest, Wang Erya did do a good deed.
Not wanting to pursue the matter further, she casually asked, "By the way, did Sister Peach go back?"
After they harvested their grain, they handed over the land to Gu Yansong to cultivate.
She didn't go to the fields, nor did she pay attention to these things.
"We're going back!"
It's harvest time now, and everyone is very busy. Adding someone helps out.
Gou Dan's grandma didn't keep her any longer. Wang Er Ya didn't have any problem with Tao Zi, she just didn't get along with Gou Dan's grandma.
As they were talking, another guest arrived. Wang Erya didn't have time to chat with her anymore and quickly weighed the bean sprouts for the guest.
Soon, the three of them sold out of their items.
In a shady spot opposite them, Aunt Luhua and Aunt Lanhua had some bean sprouts left in their baskets.
Watching them pack up their stall, the two men curled their lip in disdain, but dared not utter a word of provocation.
You know, all for the sake of selling bean sprouts.
First, Old Master Gu came to their house and vandalized it.
