Chapter 161 161 A Huge Misunderstanding
When Su Lu came out, Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded to him, saying, "Good morning, Comrade Su."
Su Lu nodded with a smile, "Good morning, Qin Zhiqing."
The two were extremely polite to each other, as if they were worlds apart, which made Wan Guihua shake her head in disbelief.
Good heavens! At this rate, when will our son ever be able to win back a wife?
Wan Guihua couldn't stand it anymore and kept giving Su Lu meaningful glances.
Su Lu looked at her in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong? Is your eye twitching?"
With that pout and squinting look, could it be a stroke?
Su Lu was taken aback and hurriedly walked towards Wan Guihua, intending to help her see a doctor.
Wan Guihua was so exasperated by her son's straightforwardness that she almost fainted. She quickly waved her hand at him, "I'm fine, don't come over. Go and take Xiaoxiao to the county office to run some errands."
Su Lu looked at Wan Guihua with concern, "Are you really alright? Don't lie to me. If you're sick, you need to get treatment. We can't delay."
Wan Guihua was so angry she almost spat blood in his face. She was too angry to say anything more, waved her hand to signal Su Lu to get lost, turned around and went into her room, closing the door behind her.
Su Lu looked completely bewildered.
What's wrong with his mom? Did he upset her?
What did he do wrong? Should he reflect on it?
Qin Xiaoxiao was also completely bewildered, not understanding how Aunt Wan, who was perfectly fine just a moment ago, had suddenly become a sickly beauty.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Lu and squinted, teasingly saying, "It seems Comrade Su isn't very popular."
If even your own mother doesn't like you, how bad must your interpersonal relationships be?
Su Lu glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Stop talking nonsense. It's all for your sake. If you hadn't come to me, would my mom have been angry?"
Yes, it was Qin Xiaoxiao who contacted him that made his mother angry. Otherwise, why would she be so angry so suddenly, when everything was fine yesterday? It must be because of her.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked. "What does this have to do with me? You're the one who offended someone without realizing it, okay? Forget about this, let's get out of here."
Going to the county town was just an excuse; delivering the watch was the real business. After finishing her business, she still needed to go to the county town to collect her subsidy.
Today is New Year's Day, there will definitely be a lot of people in the county town, I wonder if I will be able to buy meat?
Su Lu followed Qin Xiaoxiao out the door and stopped a dozen meters away from the gate of the Su family compound.
Qin Xiaoxiao took out a watch from her pocket and handed it to Su Lu.
"Here you go, this is a return gift. Also, thank you for taking care of me during this time. Without you, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
The spiritual spring water cannot be exposed, so the credit for his gradually improving health can be attributed to him.
Su Lu was shocked when he saw the watch in Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
This is a watch, and you just gave it to him like that?
It costs over a hundred yuan!
This girl is really rich!
only……
Su Lu frowned as he looked at Qin Xiaoxiao.
Could this girl like him?
Watches are usually given as gifts by the couple during their engagement, mostly by the man to the woman, although there are also cases where the woman, being well-off, gives a watch to the man.
That makes sense. He's so good-looking, and Qin Xiaoxiao used to sneak food with him all the time. Most of those pheasants and rabbits were hunted by him.
There aren't many people as good-looking and capable as him, so it's normal for her to like him.
Su Lu smugly brushed the hair that was blocking his eyes back.
Little girl, you have good taste!
but……
What should I do? She likes him, but he only sees her as a brother!
If he doesn't accept her affection and rejects her feelings, will she cry?
If he refuses, will it damage the friendship between the Qin and Su families?
Will his dad punish him for this?
Well, given his relationship with Grandpa Qin, it's very likely.
Since that's the case, should he accept it for now?
If he accepts her, will she misunderstand and think that he likes her too?
Su Lu was torn and unable to make a decision. He was thinking too much and didn't immediately take the watch from Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought Su Lu refused the watch because of its value, so she reached out and took Su Lu's hand, stuffing the watch into his hand.
"Just take it, why are you dawdling like that!"
In a moment of distraction, the watch was already shoved into his pocket. Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression.
See? He just said she liked him.
Which girl would take the initiative to hold a boy's hand? It's only if she likes him that she'd do that!
The watch had already been given away. Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Su Lu, and turned to leave.
Su Lu didn't follow; he looked down at his watch.
Oh no, he's taken it without me even realizing it.
If I give it back to her, she'll be angry, won't she?
Not only will they get angry, they will also cry.
She's so delicate, what if she gets sick from crying? Wouldn't that be a huge sin on his part?
When I looked up again, Qin Xiaoxiao was already gone.
Su Lu reluctantly put the watch in his pocket and walked home.
Wan Guihua went out to feed the chickens, but as soon as she opened the door, her youngest son came back looking dejected.
Oh no!
Judging from the way the son is acting, it's clear that Xiaoxiao rejected him!
Sigh, why is it so difficult to find a daughter-in-law?
She doesn't even need her youngest son to accompany her to the county town anymore, which shows that Xiaoxiao really doesn't like her youngest son. Saying that she wants him to accompany her is probably just an excuse to ask him to go out and reject her youngest son.
It must be, otherwise the youngest son wouldn't be so listless.
He's so useless; he can't even win back a wife.
Wan Guihua felt disgusted, but she didn't show it on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she ran to Su Lu's side and comforted him, "If you don't want to go, that's fine. Xiao Xiao will definitely have someone with her, so there won't be any danger."
Xiaoxiao said that two female educated youths from the Su family would be going with them, right? It wouldn't look good if people found out that you, a grown man, were accompanying three young girls to the county town. She was just thinking of you.”
Su Lu was preoccupied and didn't listen to anything Wan Guihua said. He just grunted in agreement and went back to his room.
Wan Guihua, no longer concerned with feeding the chickens, turned around and went back into the house.
"Old man, your son was rejected by Xiaoxiao, what do you think we should do?"
Su Zhiyuan looked at his wife in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened? Didn't you say Xiaoxiao wanted Lao Si to go to the county town with her? What? You're not going?"
Wan Guihua sighed and said, "What can you do? It must be that Xiaoxiao didn't like Lao Si. Do you think Lao Si will ever be able to get a wife in this lifetime?"
Sigh, children are always a burden.
If my fourth son gets married in the future, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter. Even if she dislikes him, I will make sure she doesn't want to leave our family.
As long as the mother-in-law is a good person, the daughter-in-law won't want a divorce. If the daughter-in-law lives a good life, the son will be happy. If the son is happy, then I am happy.
After hearing Wan Guihua's words, Su Zhiyuan twitched his lips, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Whether his son has a wife or not is none of his business, as long as he has one.
Wan Guihua didn't expect to get any comforting words from Su Zhiyuan at all. After thinking for a moment, she hurriedly left again.
First, she fed the chickens, then swept the yard, and then ran to the house of Grandpa Su and Grandma Su to tidy up. The whole house was spotless before Wan Guihua took a piece of cured meat to Old Qin's house.
