Su Lu stepped forward and took the noodles from Wan Guihua's hand. Under her hesitant gaze, he turned around, stuffed a bowl of noodles into Qin Xiaoxiao's hands, and didn't forget to smile ingratiatingly at Qin Xiaoxiao: "Wife, eat up. You were so angry at noon that you didn't eat enough, right? My mom isn't good at anything else, but she's passable at making noodles. If it's not good, I'll make it for you again later."
Wan Guihua spent half a day making noodles and then delivered them to Qin Xiaoxiao in the blink of an eye. Her eldest son didn't even glance at her, and her heart was clenched with worry.
That's not all. Her son actually said that she's not good at anything else, but she's only passable at making noodles. Isn't that insulting her?
Wan Guihua wanted to speak, but Su Lu didn't even glance at her, only staring at Qin Xiaoxiao eating noodles.
"Little one, how is it? Can you eat it?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Guihua nearly fainted from anger.
What do you mean by "can you eat it?" Are the noodles she makes really that bad?
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "It's alright, but it's not very chewy."
"The dough is a bit too soft, it's okay. If you don't like it, just leave it aside, I'll come over and make you a new one later."
"No need, this will have to do. We'll eat it tonight."
"That won't do. How can we just eat whatever we can? We have to eat well. You can leave it aside, and I'll eat the rest."
After Su Lu finished speaking, he snatched the noodles from Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and stuffed the iron box in his arms into Qin Xiaoxiao's hand. "There are two pieces of Poria cocos cake in the box. Eat some first to tide you over. I'll make you some after I finish eating."
Su Lu eats quickly; in just a few minutes, not only was the noodles in his bowl gone, but he also finished off Qin Xiaoxiao's entire bowl.
After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth, shoved the bowl into Wan Guihua's arms, and went into the kitchen without looking back.
Before Qin Xiaoxiao could finish a piece of Poria cocos cake, Su Lu had already started rummaging through the kitchen cabinets.
Hearing the crackling sounds coming from the kitchen, Wan Guihua cursed inwardly and hurried inside to help.
She was afraid her son would tear down the kitchen if she didn't go in soon.
Even though she won't be living here anymore, if she really damages it, she'll have to pay for it!
If we don't pay compensation, will the first, second, and fourth wives let her off the hook?
What a tragedy! How could such a troublesome child have been born!
Su Lu quickly made another bowl of noodles for Qin Xiaoxiao. This time, Qin Xiaoxiao ate it and praised Su Lu, making Su Lu so happy that his tail was practically wagging in the air.
Qin Aiguo gave Old Master Su a stern lecture outside the Su family's gate, leaving him unable to lift his head. In the end, he strictly ordered him to prepare dinner and not to give them any complaints, otherwise they would have no room to refute him if he complained about the Su family later.
When Grandpa Su returned home, his eyes were brimming with tears, and he held onto Qin Aiguo tightly, refusing to let go.
"Brother, only you always think of me and care about me wholeheartedly. No one else can do it, it has to be you!"
Qin Aiguo's lips twitched, and he struggled to break free of Old Master Su's grasp. "Get the hell out of here!"
"Hey, get out of here."
Grandpa Su left reluctantly. Qin Feng stood behind Qin Aiguo, his lips twitching. "Uncle Su is quite interesting."
Isn't that funny? He was sold out by his father and he's still helping him count the money!
To this day, he still doesn't understand that he was betrayed by what he considered his own elder brother.
Qin Aiguo turned around and glared at his son, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just doing this for the good of the Su family."
Qin Feng nodded with a smile, "That's right, you are Uncle Su's own brother. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, Uncle Su will fight them to the death."
Qin Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly. "Yes, that's right."
After saying that, Qin Aiguo walked home with his hands behind his back.
Although it's not very ethical to scheme against my younger brother, he's the one who doesn't know how to raise children and grandchildren, and he offended his beloved eldest granddaughter. So let him experience what family affection is like, and give him a little lesson.
That's only because of him. If it were anyone else, haha, they would have skinned him alive. Qin Aiguo would have lived all these years in vain!
At dinner, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu sat together. When they picked up food, no one dared to reach for their chopsticks. When they lowered their heads to eat, everyone quickly took the opportunity to pick up a piece of food and put it in their bowl. They couldn't pick up too much, for fear that Qin Xiaoxiao would be angry.
And they can't even have meat in their hands; the meat is for Qin Xiaoxiao, they don't deserve it!
They ate a lavish dinner that was a feast for Qin Xiaoxiao but a mere pittance for them, like feeding rabbits. All the relatives who had come to the Su family left, and in no time, only Qin Xiaoxiao, the "outsider," was left in the house.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced around and said to Su Lu, "It's still early today, let's finish taking care of the house in the backyard."
Su Lu nodded, "Okay, you can keep the money."
Qin Xiaoxiao was not surprised by Su Lu's statement, because all of Su Lu's money was with her now, plus the three thousand yuan he earned during his last trip of more than half a month, plus some spare change, which she had left with Su Lu.
Su Lu looked up at the crowd and said, "Fifty yuan a room. Whoever wants one, hurry up and say so, or I'll block up the backyard and sell the whole yard together."
Upon hearing that Su Lu wanted to sell the entire backyard, everyone immediately became agitated and quickly gathered together to discuss buying the house.
"Can it be cheaper?"
Boss Su smiled ingratiatingly.
Su Lu shook his head, "Not a single point less."
The eldest son, Su, fell silent and lowered his head to discuss the matter with his sons.
Seeing that things had come to this point and that forcibly taking the property was no longer an option, the crowd had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the money.
As a result, the eldest branch of the Su family bought two rooms, the second branch bought two rooms, and the remaining two rooms were bought by the third branch of the Su family.
The total cost was three hundred yuan, more expensive than building a new house, but no one dared to say a word, fearing that Qin Xiaoxiao would go back and ask Qin Feng and Qin Aiguo to make the decision.
He counted the three hundred yuan five times and stuffed it into Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Alright, it's all settled. Let's leave it at that. Keep to ourselves. Don't send me any messages unless it's necessary, and don't tell me if anything happens."
Su Lu then looked at Su Zhiyuan and said, "You guys can move back another day. I won't go. After Xiaoxiao and I get our marriage certificate, we'll move to her place and hold the wedding banquet another day."
I will notify you before the banquet, and you only need to show up; you don't need to prepare anything else.
After Su Lu finished speaking, he pulled Qin Xiaoxiao away.
Watching the two figures leave, Su Zhiyuan sighed and closed his eyes helplessly.
He still couldn't keep his son!
Wan Guihua still can't understand how she and her youngest son ended up like this. She wants to blame Qin Xiaoxiao, but she knows that Qin Xiaoxiao has nothing to do with this. Even if she wants to say that her son has forgotten his mother after getting married, she can't live with herself.
If not her, then who should she blame?
Wan Guihua recalled what she had said before Luo Hongxing arrived that night. For a fleeting moment, she thought that Luo Hongxing had overheard her words and told Su Lu about them. But she felt that Luo Hongxing, who had known their family for many years, wasn't that kind of person, and besides…
She absolutely refused to admit that she was a bad mother-in-law; she claimed that her heart was blackened and that her estrangement from her son was the reason for it.
