Grandma Su sighed, paused for a moment, and then looked at Su He with some heartache.
“Heya, I know it hurts you to see your mother like this, but listen to me, that’s just how your mother is. She’s just thinking about it, but she can’t really cause any trouble. Just ignore her. In our family, your dad, your brother, your aunt and uncle, everyone knows how good you are.”
I've also told my family that our family's success today is all thanks to you, and that everyone will repay you for any good things we do in the future. We won't keep clinging to you and sucking your blood; that would be terrible!"
Su He was also touched by these words. She knew that Grandma Su was a woman of her word, and as long as she was alive, her family would do as she said.
She also understood the Su family's character and knew that they were not bad people. Even if Old Mrs. Su passed away one day, they would not forget their kindness.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't heartbroken after hearing Su's mother's idea, but just as the old lady Su said, Su's mother's timid nature probably meant that she was just thinking about it, and she wouldn't dare to actually do it.
Moreover, Su He had already gotten used to not caring about her. They weren't close to each other to begin with, and she had done everything a daughter could do. She didn't want to care about anything else.
Anyway, the rest of the Su family treated her very well and gave her a lot of love, especially Old Mrs. Su, who had sacrificed so much for her, and that was enough.
She is already very happy. After all, life is never perfect.
Although she said she didn't care, Grandma Su was still very worried.
I specifically told Lin Jingyan about this when he got off work.
So when Su He finished washing up at night, she saw Lin Jingyan sitting on the bed waiting for her after he had put Yuan Yuan to sleep.
Why don't you lie down first?
Lin Jingyan shook his head. "No rush."
He glanced at her again, then thought for a moment and said, "You know my teacher's wife, right?"
"I know, so what?" Su He didn't understand why he asked this.
"Nothing much, it's just that I don't think I've ever told you about your teacher's wife."
"What happened to your wife?" Su He asked, somewhat puzzled by his sudden question.
What did you think of your teacher's wife after getting to know her?
"Very good, she looks like a refined and kind old lady."
Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "That's because you don't know what she's been through."
"What is it?" Su He asked casually.
"When my teacher's wife was a child, her family was poor and they favored boys over girls. Her mother beat and scolded her constantly, and she lived a life that was almost worse than that of a beggar."
Later, just because her younger brother wanted to eat sugar cakes, her family sold her to another family to be a child bride in exchange for money.
So at a young age, she began to make a living in her new home, but life was just as bad. The family treated her like a servant, but at least she could barely get enough to eat.
But not long after, something happened to that family, so she was sold to a landlord's house as a maid, where life was just as difficult.
Then, something happened to the landlord's family, and she escaped, only to be kidnapped and almost sold.
After finally being rescued, they started doing odd jobs to earn money, but just as their lives were getting a little better, war broke out.
After wandering through several places, she joined the army as a nurse, traveling with her unit from place to place. She was injured in an accident and discharged from the army. Then, through the organization's introduction, she married her mentor.
Su He was surprised and moved upon hearing this, "I never imagined that my teacher's wife had been through so much. I never would have guessed before."
After all, every time Su He saw her, she was always cheerful and a lively old lady. Su He thought that she must have come from a well-off family and had grown up being pampered.
