Chapter 241 241 Guests Arrive at the Su Family
An hour later, Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao finished breakfast, and Qin Xiaoxiao told them about Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan's plot against her.
After he finished speaking, Su Lu's eyes turned red, and he slammed his hand on the table, "You two are a pair of scoundrels, you despicable people!"
Qin Xiaoxin glanced at the shattered kang table with heartache. "Why are you so angry? If the table is broken, we'll have to pay to replace it. Come on, calm down. It's not worth getting sick over someone like that."
She rewrote Su Lu's words of advice and repeated them to Su Lu, then tidied up the broken kang table and piled it next to the stove, preparing to burn it that night.
Su Lu was furious. He ignored the broken table on the floor and sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), panting heavily.
"Wife, tell me, how do you want to deal with them?"
He sat back down next to Su Lu, resting his head on Su Lu's shoulder, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Nothing to do, let's see what they want to do, just return it."
How can she not want to get married? Huang the scumbag and Miao the bitch couldn't get married, so she has to find someone else to pair up with. Otherwise, how can she be worthy of Huang the scumbag's "goodness" to her over the years?
Su Lu thought for a moment, "I'll have someone monitor them."
Qin Xiaoxiao fiddled with Su Lu's fingers and said with a faint smile, "No need, my brother has already had someone keep an eye on them, just waiting for them to make their move."
Hearing that his brother-in-law had taken action, Su Lu felt relieved.
"Okay, but I'll have to stay by your side for the next few days. Don't worry, you can go about your business as usual. I'll be watching over you from the shadows and make sure you're never in danger."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, turned around and kissed Su Lu on the cheek, instantly calming Su Lu's restless heart.
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao was waiting for Zhou Ying to make her move, the Su family welcomed a group of guests—no, to be precise, several groups of guests.
The first to arrive were the family members of Su Ming's wife, Gao Laidi.
In the morning, while Su Lu was enjoying a hot bowl of chicken soup at Qin Xiaoxiao's place, there was a knock on the Su family's door. Su's eldest son opened the door and glanced at the familiar face, but couldn't immediately recognize who it was.
Who are you looking for?
Old Su looked completely bewildered. He racked his brains for a long time but still couldn't figure out which relative or friend this was.
There were five people who came: four burly men and a thin old woman who looked sharp-tongued and mean.
The old lady glanced at Su Laoda with a sidelong eyebrow. "Is this Lai Di's uncle? I even came to the Su family when Lai Di and Su Ming got married. What, you don't recognize me after all these years?"
Upon hearing that it was his nephew Su Ming's wife's family, Old Su's face immediately darkened. "I wondered who it was, but it's our in-laws. What brings you here today..."
Grandma Gao pushed Su the eldest aside and stepped inside. "I've come to see my daughter. Come on, little brother, your mother has come to see you."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Gao rushed inside. Although her feet were bound, she walked quite fast and was about to enter the main room in the blink of an eye.
The main house was where Su Laoda and his wife lived. Seeing that the old lady was about to enter their house, Su Laoda immediately stepped forward and stopped her.
"I'm sorry, in-laws, your daughter doesn't live here now. Her family is living in the village warehouse."
When Old Mrs. Gao heard that her daughter was living in the warehouse, her eyes flashed with anger. "What did you say? My daughter is living in the warehouse? How can this be allowed? My daughter from the Gao family didn't marry into your Su family to suffer. What, you won't even give her a room to live in?"
The four sons of the Gao family suddenly stepped forward, stood in a row behind Old Madam Gao, and said, "Please come back."
Good heavens, the sound was deafening, and it was incredibly loud.
The eldest son of the Su family objected, saying, "Our Su family has already split up. The third branch has built a new house, and she's going to go there to enjoy her new life. In the end, it's our eldest branch that's at a disadvantage."
When Grandma Gao heard that her daughter was going to live in a new house, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Really? You're not kidding me?"
Seeing that Su Laoda nodded impatiently, Gao Laoshi was completely relieved.
It seemed she hadn't misheard; her daughter was now rich and living in a new house, so she had a reason to ask her for money.
Just as Su was about to send the Gao family to the third branch of the family, more people arrived at the door.
The front door was open, so the person walked in without even knocking.
When Su looked up, he realized that it was his father-in-law's family.
"Father, Mother, what brings you here?"
Su Laoda looked puzzled, suspecting that his wife had called her family over. But he couldn't understand why his wife would call her family over to the Su family when it wasn't a holiday.
The eldest son's wife's maiden name was Zhao. The old man and his wife were accompanied by three men in their forties or fifties, and another man was holding a child's hand.
As soon as the two children entered the house, they rushed into the main room like bandits entering the city.
"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, what brings you here?"
Inside the house, Su's eldest daughter-in-law exclaimed in surprise, followed by an impolite scolding voice: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and find us something to eat! I want malted milk powder, I want brown sugar water, and I want candy. Get it to me right now!"
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, I'll get it for you right away."
Upon hearing this, Su Laoda's face darkened. He wanted to lash out, but fearing the three brothers-in-law from the Zhao family who had come with him, he could only hold back and prepare to settle accounts with his wife later.
The old ladies of the Zhao and Gao families knew each other; they were from the same village. However, they didn't get along and would argue whenever they met.
Although they are from two different generations, Grandma Gao had children late, and Gao Laidi is the youngest. Grandma Gao is now fifty years old, less than eight years younger than Grandma Zhao.
Just because she was eight years younger, and her daughter married someone a generation younger than Old Mrs. Zhao's daughter, Old Mrs. Gao was often suppressed by Old Mrs. Zhao.
Grandma Zhao glanced at Grandma Gao, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Why are you here too?"
Grandma Gao immediately became alert.
Did she also come here to take advantage of the Su family's house construction?
Grandma Gao glanced at Grandma Zhao with disdain, "It's my daughter's house, I can come and go as I please, what can you do about it!"
Grandma Zhao snorted coldly, "No matter how powerful your daughter is, she still has to call my daughter 'Auntie.' A junior doesn't even know how to greet an elder. How impolite!"
Grandma Gao chuckled, "Politeness? When did you, Grandma Zhao, acquire such a thing? I..."
"Wow, it's so lively! Why is everyone standing in the yard instead of going in? Is this Xiao Hong's uncle? I haven't seen him for two years, he hasn't aged a bit!"
Before Grandma Gao and Grandma Zhao could even start arguing, another voice suddenly burst between them.
Everyone looked up and saw a woman in her thirties with neatly combed short hair, wearing a clean blue cotton-padded jacket, black pants, and brand-new black cotton shoes. Her smiling face was round and shiny, and she looked like she had never suffered any hardship. She stood gracefully, and her alluring figure was so captivating that any man would be dazzled by her.
