Chapter 496 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 40
Lu Zhaodi came back from the hospital, and as her son, Su Jianshe couldn't remain indifferent. After all, there were so many people in the village watching her!
He put down the work he was doing, packed up several large bags of things himself, and went to the old house with Su Li and others in a grand manner.
As soon as Lu Zhaodi entered the house, the news of her return spread throughout the village.
This time happened to be the time when the villagers had lunch and were taking a nap at home, so some of them, out of curiosity, did not even take their nap and gathered at the door of the Su family's old house.
Oh, it’s not that they didn’t want to go in and take a closer look. Lu Zhaodi was scared of being watched by people in the hospital these days. She had anticipated this scene, so she asked Su Baozhu to close the gate as soon as she came back.
For safety reasons, it was locked from the inside.
Even if these people wanted to go in and see what was going on, they couldn't. They could only gather at the door and whisper to each other, asking Wang Meihua and Li Xiaoqin next door for information.
As for why not ask Su Laosi’s wife and Su Laowu’s wife?
How could they dare to pester these two people who just got married and brought a group of their relatives to make trouble for the division of the family?
Isn't it just a matter of asking these two easy-going sisters-in-law questions non-stop?
Wang Meihua hated the old couple and Su Baozhu because Lu Zhaodi had been coming to her house every few days to ask for money in recent years, and because Su Baozhu had pushed Lai Fu and almost killed him a few days ago. At this time, she really spoke freely about everything she knew.
"Meihua, how's your mother-in-law? Why did Jianguo and Jiandang push her back on a cart? Is she still not well?"
Wang Meihua: "She was struck unconscious by lightning, how could she recover so quickly? When I went to the hospital to see her, I could faintly smell the aroma of meat. Her scalp was even singed. It looked like she would need a long period of recovery."
"Hmm, so, she really has no hair left after wearing a headscarf on such a hot day?"
Wang Meihua: "Oh, who said it wasn't true? You tell me, why did my mother-in-law get struck by lightning out of nowhere? There's not a single hair on her head now. She looks creepy, like a burnt egg... Oh, look at my mouth..."
Wang Meihua pretended to slap her mouth, looking annoyed because she had said something wrong, which made everyone look at each other in surprise.
Like burnt eggs?
Everyone imagined the burnt eggs at home.
They were smooth and black, and some even had water stains on them...
Oh...how miserable!
"Oh my god, after being chopped like this, will I still be able to grow hair after this?"
Su Li had just arrived at the gate of the Su family's old house with her parents when she heard this soul-searching question. Seeing that her aunt seemed confused by the question, she secretly answered in her heart: "Of course it can't grow hair. All the hair follicles are dead. I can only be beautiful alone with a boiled egg on my head for the rest of my life!"
Of course, she didn't need to say it out loud for something that could be seen with the naked eye. Time was a good thing and would tell these curious villagers the answer.
The person who asked the question did not get an answer but was not discouraged. He wanted to ask again when he saw Su Jianshe and his family of five carrying things.
Everyone's attention was focused on Su Jianshe, Liu Xiaomei and Su Li. The two younger ones were too young and were simply ignored by them!
"Hey, Jianshe and his wife are carrying so many bags, are they here to see your mother?"
"The Jianshe couple are so filial. Your mother brought so many things over right after she came back. I'm really envious!
Unlike those unfilial sons in my family, who throughout the year, apart from the filial piety promised when the family was divided, they were reluctant to give even a piece of wild vegetable."
"So many things must have cost a lot of money. You must be really capable to build such a big house at such a young age, and still have money to buy so many things!"
"Ah, Jianshe is lucky. Unlike us, we finally got a few pounds of meat, but before we could even eat a few bites, it was all stolen by the thing that was struck by lightning that day!"
When the woman mentioned the lost meat, several women in the crowd joined in and cursed.
Su Tuantuan: Oh, who is scolding me?
Su Jianshe smiled but said nothing. Seeing that he was easy to talk to today, some people rolled their eyes and said with ill intent: "Jianshe, what are those things in your hands? Open them and let us take a look!"
Someone started to make a noise, "Yes, they can now afford to build brick houses. This gift to honor my mother must be something good. Open it and let us have a look, so we can learn more!"
Su Li glanced at the jealous villagers indifferently and silently took a small step behind her father.
She is still young, it's time for her dad to show off his real skills!
Su Jianshe saw Su Li's little movement, smiled confidently, and took a step forward.
He first greeted everyone with a smile, then his expression changed and he started to argue.
"Oh my God, Auntie, your son is so reluctant to give you even a piece of wild vegetable?
Tsk tsk, you are so pitiful! When I saw Shuanzi and his brothers again, I talked to them.
It's not a famine year now. We don't have anything else in our village, but we have plenty of wild vegetables. If you want to eat some, just ask the children to cut more grass for the pigs!"
Before the aunt who was told that she wanted to eat pig grass could react, he looked at the woman who was praising his good fortune and was jealous to the point of oozing jealousy.
He boasted politely: "Auntie is right, I am just lucky. Not only am I capable and talented, but even my daughter is very capable at such a young age.
On this trip up the mountain, not only did he save a few friends, he also brought back some wild boar meat for our village. He's truly capable."
Then he added earnestly: "Auntie, I think you should do more good things in the future, and don't bully your daughter-in-law or talk nonsense about the Zhang family and the Li family.
Look, there are hundreds of families in the village, and every family is fine, why is it that only your family’s meat is lost? Tsk tsk…”
Su Baozhu saw her through the crack in the door as soon as Su Li and the others arrived. When she heard someone say that her third brother was bringing something to see her mother, she quickly ran in and told Lu Zhaodi.
In this life, the Su family split up early because of the outrageous actions of Lu Zhaodi and Old Man Su, which caused their sons to become estranged from them, and they also lost their confidence (money), so even if they doted on Su Baozhu, their ability was limited.
Su Baozhu was not as spoiled by the whole family as in the plot, and she did not eat and use the best things. She was not excited when she heard that there might be good things.
"Mom, Third Brother and the others are here, do you want me to open the door?"
When Lu Zhaodi heard that Su Jianshe was coming, her eyes widened with anger: "No, tell him to get out!"
After hurting her like this, he just gave her five dollars and still dared to come to her house?
"Mom, Third Brother brought a lot of things. Are we really not going to open the door and let him in?"
If it were a few days ago, she would have opened the door and let the person in without even asking Lu Zhaodi.
But the slap a few days ago and Lu Zhaodi's frequent and indiscriminate temper tantrums in the past two days made her subconsciously feel that she should ask something.
When Lu Zhaodi heard that Su Jianshe had brought something, the anger on her face remained unabated, but she asked Su Baozhu to open the door.
Su Jianshe scolded those who said sarcastic things until they blushed. When he saw the door opened, he called Su Li and a few others and walked into the yard with a smile.
After Su Li's family came in, Su Baozhu quickly locked those who were peeking outside the door with a "click".
As soon as Su Li entered the yard, he saw Lu Zhaodi sitting at the table in the main hall with a donkey face.
Well, it seems that he has had a hard time these past few days. He has lost a lot of weight, and with that gloomy expression, he looks a bit scary.
Su Jianshe acted as if he didn't see it and shouted with a smile:
"Mom, your son is here to see you. How are you? Are you feeling better? This is what Xiaomei and I brought for you. Eat more to replenish your body."
Su Li glanced at the two bags of things in her father's hands. Well, they were all pure natural wild vegetables. Although they were a bit old, they were all delicious things that city people could not even eat!
