Su Xieyun had already seen Chen Xiufang and had no intention of paying any attention to her, but when he saw her coming closer, he forced a fake smile.
"Business is not good. Second Aunt is here to shop. Do you want to take a pair of socks home?"
Chen Xiufang quickly waved her hands. She didn't want to be seen as someone who was taking advantage of her.
"Yunyun, I came to you today to ask you something."
"What's the matter, Second Aunt?" Su Xieyun asked nonchalantly while greeting customers.
Chen Xiufang saw that she was indifferent and felt a little embarrassed, but she came here to ask for help today, so she could only force a smile and explain her purpose.
Su Xieyun hadn't thought about the Sanhua Brigade for a long time. When she asked about it, he looked dazed for a moment.
She almost forgot that she had a son there. She didn't know how he was doing or whether he was married.
When Sun Licai took the money and left, he kept his promise and never came to Haishi again, nor did he have any news.
Seeing that she was standing there in a daze, not even answering the customer's questions, Chen Xiufang called out, "Yunyun, Yunyun? What's wrong with you?"
Su Xieyun reacted and sent away the people who were buying socks before saying to Chen Xiufang, "Li Bihua is not my classmate, but Su Xieqiu's classmate. If Second Aunt wants to find her, go... She works there."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much. I'll be leaving now. I'll come play at your house when I'm free."
After Chen Xiufang got the address, she left in a hurry, leaving Su Xieyun in a daze.
She rarely thought about the Sanhua Brigade over the years and thought she had forgotten everything about it.
But when she heard Chen Xiufang mention it just now, she felt that the previous scenes were so clear again.
"What are you daydreaming about?" A middle-aged man picking his teeth came over and interrupted Su Xieyun's memories.
The man was in his forties, fat and greasy.
When Su Xieyun saw him, she started to curse, "Where the hell have you been? You left the stall here and left. I'm so busy that I haven't even had breakfast yet."
The man flicked the toothpick aside and said nonchalantly, "Why are you yelling? It's not like I won't let you eat. There are food for sale everywhere. If you don't go buy it yourself, I will really serve you."
"Zhao Jinqiang, I'm alone at the stall, how can I go buy food? Are you playing cards again?"
Su Xieyun put his hands on his hips, pointed at the man and cursed. His voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the street.
The vendors setting up stalls nearby saw the couple fighting again and laughed and made fun of them, but Su Xieyun scolded them one by one.
Chen Xiufang looked back at the fierce Su Xieyun and shook her head. She hailed a taxi on the side of the road and went to where Li Bihua worked.
Li Bihua was very surprised. It was too strange that a mother would come to an outsider to inquire about her daughter.
She was a bit of a gossiper to begin with, so she told Chen Xiufang everything she knew.
"Su Xieqiu lived a good life in the countryside. She lived in a big tiled house and didn't work much. But she loved to fight with people. She was very fierce and even dared to fight her father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sisters-in-law. She often went to the brigade for fights. The whole village knew how powerful she was."
After Li Bihua finished speaking, she remembered that the old lady was Su Xieqiu's mother. She smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"Auntie, Su Xieqiu's lover is a driver in a machinery factory. I heard that the salary is very high. At that time, he could earn more than a hundred yuan a month."
"Sometimes when we passed by her house on our way up the mountain, we often smelled the smell of meat coming from her house. Her living conditions must be good, otherwise how could she have raised several children so plump and fair-skinned and dressed them in the best clothes without even a patch on them?"
Chen Xiufang was silent for a while, then asked, "How many children did my daughter give birth to? Last time she came home, she brought six with her. How many of them were hers?"
"How can there be six? Su Xieqiu gave birth to three children, a pair of twin boys and a girl."
Li Bihua suddenly realized something, "You should be talking about Chenchen and Anan. They are not Su Xieqiu's children. They seem to be Han Zhenyu's friends. They were fostered in their home and were taken away before the college entrance examination was resumed."
"So, my son-in-law is not remarried?"
"No, it's his first marriage. Although Han Zhenyu has a bad reputation in the village, he has never been married."
Chen Xiufang was silent for a while before she nodded and asked about Su Xieqiu's college entrance examination.
Li Bihua also told the truth, "When the college entrance examination was just resumed, I didn't know that they had signed up, but I didn't expect that they would be admitted to Peking University in the end."
"Su Xieqiu was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Liao Province. Both the city and the county gave her a bonus of several hundred yuan. But she refused to take it and donated it all to the school in the team."
Speaking of this, Li Bihua felt a little sour in her heart. She didn't know how Su Xieqiu was so lucky that he could be admitted to Beijing University. She took the exam twice and didn't even get into a normal university.
Chen Xiufang asked in detail about the life in the Sanhua Brigade before leaving.
After listening to Li Bihua's narration, she didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.
Chen Xiufang was of course happy for her daughter as she was doing well. After all, she was her own flesh and blood, so how could she not hope for her well?
But she suddenly realized that the last time Qiu Yatou brought the child to her house to make trouble, it was probably not to ask for money, but to sever ties with them.
No, it is possible that Qiu did not even want to come home. If she had not met Dong, she might not even bother to come back.
Chen Xiufang couldn't stop her tears from flowing down when she thought of this. She wiped her tears sadly as she walked.
It was she and the old man who were wrong in the beginning. They shouldn't have let the third girl go to the countryside instead of the second child, and they also changed the address.
If not for this, how could the third girl resolutely break away from her family?
Chen Xiufang went home and cried bitterly. She didn’t know if she caught a cold, but the next day she had a terrible headache and couldn’t even get out of bed.
Su Dacheng was frightened and quickly called a few children over and sent Chen Xiufang to the hospital.
It was not until then that Su Xiexia and Su Xiedong learned that Su Xieqiu had become a diplomat and frequently appeared on television and in newspapers.
"It turns out that what Su Xieyun said about my third sister getting admitted to Beijing University was true." Su Xiedong murmured to himself, "If I had known that it would be so easy to get into university, I should have given it a try."
Su Dacheng frowned and asked his little girl, "Dongdong, did you know that Qiu Yatou was admitted to university? Then why have I never heard you tell me about it?"
Su Xiedong glanced at the silent Su Xiexia, then quickly smiled and said to his parents:
"Dad, Mom, my cousin rarely speaks the truth. I thought she was lying to me. I was afraid that you would be sad after hearing about Third Sister, so I didn't tell you."
Su Dacheng waved his hands and sighed, "It's not your fault. Two years ago, I heard your third sister's name on TV and thought it was a duplicate. Who would have thought that the quiet third girl could become a diplomat."
The Su family members felt complicated when they knew that Su Xieqiu was so capable now.
The one who was most active was Su Xiedong. She turned her eyes and looked at Su Dacheng with a smile.
"Dad, when mom is well again, let's go to Beijing to visit my third sister. I haven't seen her for so many years, and I miss her so much."
