Chapter 24: Falling out
Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin, who were hiding in the dark, couldn't tell whether they were disappointed or relieved.
They were disappointed that they didn't have the opportunity to show their talents, but they were glad that the father and daughter didn't end up as they had expected.
Because they did not receive clear instructions, even though Xu Zixin and the other man had left, they remained motionless and continued to hide in the dark.
…
Suning, who was staying in the room, was putting the treasured things left by his mother into the box one by one and then putting them into the space.
Compared to the things her mother kept in the bank safe, she obviously valued these things more.
When Su Jinglei was still alive, she would personally bury a jar of daughter's red wine in the yard on her daughter's birthday every year.
She would prepare a gift with utmost care: perhaps various types of jade carved by herself, or small paintings with her and her daughter's portraits, or various exquisite small embroidery items.
They were sealed one by one and placed in this large mahogany box.
She joked that this was the tradition of the Su family's beloved daughter, just like what her father did for her.
The wishes and expectations accumulated by one's own hands, together with the buried wine as a dowry, will surely make the daughter live a happy and fulfilling life.
The heartless Xu Zixin only knew how to do superficial work, so naturally he didn't understand Su Jinglei's real intention of leaving this small courtyard for him.
"Okay..."
If Xu Zixin really took over her mother's job and continued to prepare these things for her as her mother wished, Suning would probably not know how to face it now.
Just like now, all of this contains only her mother's love for her, pure and without any other impurities, and it is good just like this.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Is anyone there? Is Comrade Xiao Su here?"
Awakened by the sudden noise, Suning raised his hand to look at his watch, then finally glanced at the room and turned to leave.
Although her real intention at the time did not work, she had no intention of regretting it.
"Hey, isn't it here?"
When Director Li saw the person coming out of the room, he put his mind at ease, greeted him, and then introduced him enthusiastically.
"This is the Tian Dazhen I told you about who is in urgent need of help. Dazhen is the owner of the house, Su Ning."
Tian Dazhen's wrinkled and weathered face was filled with deep sorrow, but the moment he looked at her, there was a light in his eyes.
Without saying a word, he pulled the children tightly and knelt heavily on the ground. He was so speechless that he could only mutter words of thanks over and over again.
Her husband lost one hand in an accident at the factory. The honest and simple man began to drink and abuse himself every day. From then on, he became a different person and beat and kicked her and the children.
For the sake of her children, she gritted her teeth and divorced despite everyone's strange looks. If it weren't for the help from the Women's Federation in finding her a temporary job, the three of them would have died long ago.
Now they have found a kind-hearted person who has provided shelter for the three of them. They will soon have their own little home... Apart from kowtow, she really doesn't know how to express her gratitude.
"Hurry, hurry up! Big sister can't stand this now, hurry up and get the children up!"
Before he could even start talking, a group of two children, one big and two small, surrounded him and asked him to kowtow to them. Su Ning was stunned for a moment before he reacted and supported them.
The mother and her two children were wearing tattered clothes that were patched so well that no one knew where they started. The youngest child was not even wearing shoes, and his bare feet were covered in black dirt.
I didn't feel disgusted. On the contrary, I felt an indescribable sourness in my heart when I saw it.
"I believe Director Li has already roughly told you my requirements..."
"Yes, Comrade Xiao Su, don't worry. We will take good care of this house and never make it dirty. We will pay the rent to Director Li in advance every year and we will definitely not default on it!"
The rent of five dollars a year for such a large house with its own door and yard is already as cheap as it can be. Although the salary of temporary workers is not much, it is still eighteen dollars a month, which is no problem to pay the annual rent.
Tian Dazhen was grateful from the bottom of her heart. Although her divorce had exposed her to a lot of criticism, it also allowed her to gain a lot of sincere kindness.
No matter how normal and simple her requests are, she will try her best to do them even if they are really difficult.
"Sister, Yaya and I will also help take care of the house!"
"Okay, sister believes you."
Witnessed by Director Li, the two parties signed the rental contract, provided housing certificates and delivered the keys as agreed, and Suning left first.
…
Xu Zixin and his friend returned home early, entered the room one after the other, and closed the doors and windows tightly.
"Tell me, what exactly have you been hiding from me? What good things have you been doing behind my back?!"
Whenever he thought of Suning's meaningful words and suggestive look before he left, the fierce light in Xu Zixin's eyes, which was so intense that it was about to overflow, became more dangerous.
Qian Huiru, who had been nervous all the way, trembled all over when his voice suddenly became low, and her fingertips could not help but tremble slightly.
"I...I really didn't do anything. Don't listen to that girl Su Ning..."
"explain!"
He threw away his shirt, leaving only a white vest. Xu Zixin clenched his fists, with bulging blue veins extending all the way to his arms.
"Don't be so smart. Since Ningning said that, you must have evidence. How long do you think you can keep it a secret from me?"
"I accepted Qin Dagui's things..."
"I collected it several times, what the hell!"
"Just three times, I swear!" Qian Huiru held her belly with both hands, stepped back a few steps without leaving a trace, and then continued softly, "A total of 20,000 yuan, a box of small yellow croaker."
"You are really amazing, Qian Huiru, Qian Huiru! Do I need your food and clothes? You don't take my words to heart at all, huh?!"
If he didn't still have some sense, if she wasn't pregnant, it's very likely that he was carrying the son he had been waiting for for many years!
Xu Zixin really wanted to strangle her to death!
I think he has always been conscientious, never formed cliques or took bribes, all for the sake of not leaving any handle for others.
Over the years, who can find a single stain on him, whether in terms of his conduct or work?
Now, everything has been ruined by this stupid woman. She didn't even clean up after doing stupid things and didn't even realize that she left a small tail!
"Is that for myself? Don't you think about how much we would have earned if we added one dollar to our salary in the past few years?
Not to mention the money you send back to your parents during the holidays every month, but you also insist on raising Suning in a wealthy way. Have you ever calculated her monthly expenses alone?
How can you support such a large family without spending money? Is what we have enough? ! "
As if her life wasn't frustrating enough, Qian Huiru's anger grew little by little when she thought about the embarrassment she had suffered despite her seemingly glorious life over the years.
She gave so much, and even when she was pissed off to death by that damn girl Suning, she just endured it. What was it all for?
It was all because of the big pie he had drawn, the Su family's multiple big houses, and Su Jinglei's dowry that was so rich that she couldn't even spend it all...
What's the result?
After finally getting to this day, nothing! She was going crazy!
