Su Dacheng had something hidden in his heart, so he didn't notice his mother-in-law's coldness.
He smiled and greeted me, then sat on the sofa in the living room.
When his daughter and son-in-law came out of the room and Su Dacheng saw the scars on their faces, he realized something was wrong.
He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Dad, it's okay. Why did you come here so early in the morning? Is there something wrong?" Su Xiexia didn't want to talk about this with her father, so she smoothed her hair and changed the subject.
Su Dacheng saw that his mother-in-law had a grim expression and looked a little embarrassed.
It was not a good idea for his in-laws and mother-in-law to know what he was going to say, so he winked at his daughter and son-in-law, and the three of them went outside to talk.
Su Dacheng told them both about Su Xieqiu's request and the threatening words.
"Your mother and I want to give her 500 yuan, but we don't know if she agrees. So we want everyone to sit down and discuss it. We want to solve this matter as soon as possible, so that she can return to the countryside earlier and avoid more trouble."
Yu Jiayang and Su Xiexia had just had a fight over this matter. Now both of them were extremely annoyed.
But they also knew the seriousness of the matter. If Su Xieqiu told this to others, they would be too ashamed to face anyone, and their parents might even be implicated.
Su Xiexia thought for a moment and said to Su Dacheng, "Dad, if Yu Jiayang and I come forward, that damn girl will definitely ask for a lot of money. You and mom should talk to her."
Su Xiexia really didn't want to face Su Xieqiu. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and start a quarrel with that damn girl. If everyone knew about it, there would be no room for maneuver.
Since it concerns their family's reputation, Yu Jiayang could no longer be angry. He nodded and smiled, "Dad, Xia Xia is right. You and Mom have to step in on this matter. You two are elders, and your words carry more weight than ours."
Su Dacheng thought about it and looked at his daughter and son-in-law, then hesitantly asked them, "Xia Xia, Jia Yang, what is your bottom line? Your mother and I will have an idea of it."
"Dad, I only have over 200 yuan." Su Xiexia glanced at Yu Jiayang next to him, "Do you have any more?"
"I give you my monthly salary, so what's left?"
Su Xiexia glared, "Can't you think of a solution?"
As she spoke, she glanced around the room meaningfully, and her meaning was very clear, asking Yu Jiayang to ask his parents for it.
Yu Jiayang was very unhappy, but he swallowed the unpleasant words in front of his father-in-law.
But this matter had to be resolved, he thought for a while and said: "Dad, our family will offer a maximum of 500. If the negotiation fails, then it's up to her. At worst, we'll have to fight to the death."
Yu Jiayang thought that since Su Xieqiu offered two thousand, he must have left room for bargaining, so five hundred should be about the right price after negotiation.
Su Dacheng also felt that it was not a small amount, and he would discuss it with that damn girl later and give her 500 yuan. This way, he wouldn't have to pay for it himself.
He was very happy and said to his daughter and son-in-law, "Okay, I'll talk to her when I get home. If we agree, I'll come to you at noon to get the money."
"Okay, Dad, then I'll trouble you and Mom." Yu Jiayang nodded with a smile.
After Su Dacheng left the yard, the couple went into the house without saying anything to each other.
………
Here, Chen Xiufang came to her third daughter's house.
Su Xiedong had just gotten up and was about to go to the public toilet outside to empty the chamber pot.
She worked the night shift today, so she got up late in the morning. Her husband worked the day shift today and had already left.
As soon as Su Xiedong opened the door, he saw Chen Xiufang and asked in surprise, "Mom, what's the matter with you coming here so early?"
Chen Xiufang covered her nose and pointed at the pot of urine in her hand, her face full of disgust, "Hurry up and pour it out, you lazy girl, you just got up now."
Su Xiedong rolled his eyes and muttered, "It's as if you don't have it at home."
After she emptied the chamber pot, washed it and placed it in the corner, Chen Xiufang explained her purpose.
Su Xiedong quickly shook her head. She was already afraid of that psychotic third sister and didn't want to get involved in what was going on between her and her second sister.
Su Xiedong did not forget that his third sister had asked him for one thousand yuan, so he could not go no matter what.
She plans not to go back to her parents' home during this period.
"Mom, I've had a bad relationship with my third sister since I was a child, and I'm afraid it wouldn't have played any role in the past." Su Xiedong saw Chen Xiufang's face fall, and quickly explained with a smile.
"Mom, you know my family's situation. We live a very tight life. I'm not as rich as my second sister and her husband, so I can't help even if I go over there. I have to go to the factory later, and I have to take Wangwang to sign up in the afternoon. I really can't spare the time today."
Chen Xiufang stood up and walked out without waiting for her to finish.
Seeing that she was angry, Su Xiedong quickly pulled her arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, please don't be like this. My third sister is a lunatic now. I really don't dare to deal with her."
Chen Xiufang shook off her hand and walked out, angrily saying, "I finally see clearly that you are the most cunning one in our family. When there is something good to gain, you run away faster than anyone else, but when something happens at home, you shrink back. I'm afraid your father and I won't be able to count on you in the future."
"Mom, how can I be that kind of person?" Su Xiedong saw that she looked very unhappy, and stamped his feet anxiously, so he had to compromise. "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, okay?"
Only then did Chen Xiufang's expression ease a little.
Su Xiedong sighed in his heart, locked the door, and followed her back to the Su family helplessly.
Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were out, Li Hongyu didn't want to cook for Su Xieqiu and the others, so she went to a restaurant with Su Xiechun and the children.
How could such a small matter be difficult for Su Xieqiu and the children? Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
An An cooked a pot of porridge with the twins and boiled all eight eggs in the house.
Xuanxuan also found a piece of ham in the cupboard and fried ham and shredded potatoes and hot and sour cabbage.
When the Su family came back, they were sitting around the table eating breakfast.
Haohao drank the porridge in his bowl in one gulp and said with a smile: "Grandma, Grandpa, I heard that you went to a restaurant and didn't even call your grandson. How can you be so stingy?"
Xuanxuan sighed, "It's good to be rich. You can go to a restaurant whenever you want. Unlike us, we can't even have a bowl of porridge in the countryside."
Listening to the two children's mocking and sarcastic remarks, Su Dacheng and Chen Xiufang's faces turned black.
Su Xiedong was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that such a young child would have such strong attack power.
