Li Hongyu looked at the empty plate, and the anger in her heart suddenly surged up.
Of the whole meal, the family didn’t even have a sip of soup.
Li Hongyu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.
She let out a frustrated "Ah" and overturned the table.
When she screamed, Han Zhenyu quickly pulled Su Xieqiu back. Because Li Hongyu went crazy so suddenly, he didn't have time to take care of the children.
The soup in the plate spilled everywhere, and the children were not spared.
An An and the twins had just finished their meal. Looking at the soup on their bodies, the three of them looked at each other, threw their bowls on the ground, opened the door and ran out.
The actions of the children made Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu smile. They were also proud that their children were really smart.
Su Dacheng and Chen Xiufang were angry in the room when they suddenly heard the sound of bowls breaking outside and the sound of children crying.
Their heartbeats quickened instantly. Chen Xiufang hurried out of the room and saw the mess on the living room floor.
In the corridor outside, we could hear children crying and neighbors asking questions.
Chen Xiufang was about to ask what was going on when Haohao and Xuanxuan outside started talking.
"We just ate one more mouthful of rice, and my aunt beat and scolded us, and finally overturned the table, telling us to go back to the countryside, wuwuwu..."
An An helped Hao Hao wipe away his tears, and Xuan Xuan continued, "But we didn't eat much, we just mixed some rice with the vegetable soup, and we didn't expect to be beaten. Aren't they our mother's relatives? How could they do this to us?..."
An An hugged her two younger brothers and sobbed, "Because we are from the countryside, they, the city people, look down on us."
When Li Hongyu heard that a few kids were slandering her outside, she was immediately furious.
She ran out angrily, pointing at the children and yelling:
"You little brats are so uneducated. How can you lie so well at such a young age? You ate up all the food on the table, but you still said you didn't eat much. Country people are really cunning."
As she spoke, she tapped the twins' foreheads vigorously.
Su Xieqiu held her wrist tightly and said in a calm voice, "Sister-in-law, I know you look down on country people and don't want our family to come back. I haven't come back to bother you in the past few years, but have you forgotten why I went to the countryside?"
Su Xieqiu didn't say this to Li Hongyu.
She was speaking to Chen Xiufang behind her and the neighbors who were watching the fun, and it was also a foreshadowing she had laid.
The neighbors all pricked up their ears, wondering if the Su family had any inside stories that they didn't know about.
Chen Xiufang's eyelids jumped, and she quickly grabbed Su Xieqiu's hand, pulled her into the house, and said angrily:
"Qiu girl, have you had enough of making trouble? You have been making trouble since you came in the afternoon. What do you want to do? Are you trying to piss me and your dad off to death?"
Su Xieqiu broke free from her hand, and this time he did not mock or sneer, but looked her straight in the eyes and said:
"My dear mother, am I making a scene? Am I lying? Which of the things I'm talking about wasn't done by you guys back then?"
"Since you can do this, why can't I, the victim, speak up? Su Xiexia took my place in the city to marry and work, and asked me to go to the countryside in her place. Isn't this the truth?"
Chen Xiufang opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything in rebuttal.
She heard the twins still chatting with others outside, so she quickly dragged the restless children in and locked the door.
Su Xieqiu snorted coldly, and said to Chen Xiufang with a sullen face: "Since you have overturned the table and chased us away, our family will not stay here any longer even if we are shameless."
She waved to the children and they all came to her side. Han Zhenyu held Tiantian and Anan's hands.
Su Xieqiu glanced at Su Dacheng standing at the bedroom door, curled his lips in disdain, and said to the family before leaving:
"I will come again tomorrow. When you agree to my terms, I will disappear completely and never come to your house again. But if you don't do as I ask, I will live here with the children, and then go to the factory leaders and the street office to let them make the decision for me."
After she finished speaking, she, Han Zhenyu and the children left the Su family.
The neighbors nearby had not yet dispersed, and were all sitting on the corridor enjoying the cool air and chatting.
Seeing the family walking out, a woman asked in surprise: "Xieqiu, it's so late, why are you still leaving?"
Su Xieqiu said "hmm" and lowered his head pretending to be sad.
Haohao wiped his tears and sobbed, "Grandma's house is too small to accommodate us."
Xuanxuan asked with a sad face: "Mom and Dad, where are we going?"
"Let's go to the train station first. If we can't stay there, we'll stay under the bridge for the night. We'll come back to see your grandma and grandpa tomorrow during the day." Su Xieqiu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people nearby to hear.
Han Zhenyu glanced back and saw that no one from the Su family came out. He curled the corner of his lip and added another sentence.
"Wife, why don't we open a cheap guesthouse and wash our clothes and return them to Zhao Zhiqing as soon as possible. The couple are waiting to wear them."
Su Xieqiu said worriedly: "If we open the guesthouse, we won't have enough money to go back. Why don't we go to the river to wash our clothes?"
"That's fine, but we'll just let a few kids suffer with us."
The whole family went downstairs, and the sounds continued to come.
People who were enjoying the cool in the corridor began to talk.
"Why are Su Dacheng and Chen Xiufang like this? My daughter and her family came all the way to see them, but they chased them away in the middle of the night. How can they be so cruel?"
"You don't know that Qiu has never been liked by her parents since she was a child. Now she has married to the countryside and it seems that she is not living well. That snobbish family will definitely not be happy with her."
An old lady holding a palm-leaf fan said, "After all, she is my own daughter. She hasn't been home for several years. Her grandchildren are wearing tattered clothes. Doesn't Chen Xiufang feel sorry for them at all?"
