Chapter 50: Using the strategy of self-torture?



The Cheng family went home after a tiring day, each of them feeling sore in the back, but fortunately they had dumplings to eat when they got home.

The original soup turns into the original food.

Su Qianqian packed a large plate of dumplings, filled the original soup and put it aside, made some dipping sauce, and steamed some eggplant, then mixed it with the sauce. It was particularly delicious.

This method saves oil, otherwise eggplant consumes a lot of oil.

She has gradually adapted to the life here and tries her best to make delicious food in an inexpensive way.

"It's so delicious! Aunt, it's a good thing you're back, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food." Chuanchuan's appetite has improved a lot recently, and he eats very full at every meal.

Although Cheng Yue took the money home, Zhu Tianfang was used to being frugal and was reluctant to spend it. Besides, this was Cheng Yue's hard-earned money, so she wanted to save it for him first in case of emergency, and let the family live like this for the time being.

"You little rascal, are you blaming grandma for not letting you eat well?" Zhu Tianfang pretended to be angry.

Chuan Chuan leaned back in his chair with a satisfied grin, "Grandma, I'm just trying to flatter Auntie so that I can eat better food."

"How did you become so cunning?" Wu Yuexiang poked her son's head, but did not mean to blame him.

"No, it's really delicious! Aunt, do you still want me to teach you to read and write?" Chuanchuan thought that his aunt had made so many delicious foods, so he must give something in return.

Su Qianqian nodded, "Sure, thank you Chuanchuan."

Chuanchuan felt a little embarrassed and kept saying, "I should do it." He really liked the schoolbag and stationery his aunt bought for him. When he went to school, his classmates would definitely envy him.

After dinner, we still had to work, but no one complained. After all, it was the time to harvest grain, and only by harvesting all the grain would we not go hungry in the winter.

Now the Cheng family is very happy. Su Qianqian's return has obviously improved their living standards and they are full of energy.

However, when the Cheng family thought about Cheng Yue and Su Qianqian divorcing, they fell into depression again.

When it was time to sleep, Zhu Tianfang and Cheng Youmin lay on the bed.

"Erbao's mother is doing well now, why does Ah Yue want to divorce her? Did something happen in the city that we don't know about?"

"You'll know when A Yue comes back. If nothing happened, it's better not to get divorced. Otherwise, the three children will suffer. They didn't have a father before, and now they have a mother like that. It's too hard." Cheng Youmin is usually a tough guy. After all, he is the head of the family, but he can't help but feel distressed when he mentions his three children.

"I really believe that Erbao's mother has turned over a new leaf. She no longer has that fierce and unreasonable feeling. Before, when she got close to me, that look in her eyes... Anyway, I can't put it into words. I haven't been to school, so I can't explain it." Anyway, she feels very comfortable getting along with Su Qianqian now.

Su Qianqian is gentle and polite, and seems to know a lot. She is also good to the three children.

For her, as long as she could be good to her three children, she didn't expect to be good to just the two of them.

The next morning, when Zhu Tianfang and Wu Yuexiang got up to check on their sister-in-law's chicken and duck coop, they were shocked again.

"Mom, what's going on? There are so many chicken and duck eggs as soon as my sister-in-law came back." Wu Yuexiang picked up seven or eight eggs with a shocked look on her face.

"Really? Is she the reincarnation of some egg-shaped grandmother?"

Wu Yuexiang burst into laughter, "Mom, is there such a god?"

Su Qianqian walked over and happened to hear this conversation. She was dumbfounded. An egg-eating woman? A nosy woman?

Ahem, that’s not necessary!

"Mom, sister-in-law, since there are extra, let's eat them and give everyone some nutrition. I'll make an omelet. Keep the duck eggs for now and I'll make some preserved eggs."

"Okay, here you go." Zhu Tianfang gave her the egg.

In the past, I saved eggs to exchange for money. Now that life is better, I sometimes eat them myself, but usually only once every ten days or half a month.

Beat three eggs, add water and flour and stir, then add chopped green onions and minced meat, and spread them in the pot.

The fragrance immediately filled the air.

She cut a few egg pancakes, brushed them with her secret sauce and served them on the table. Chuanchuan and the three children were already drooling and staring at them eagerly, but they didn't dare to eat first because the adults weren't here yet.

She also used the remaining flour paste to make some noodle dumplings, and the soup base was stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables, which was very delicious.

The neighbors all smelled it and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Su Qianqian always makes delicious food after she comes back. This spendthrift woman! It smells too good!"

"Mom, I don't want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat meat, meat." The child was so greedy that he didn't want to eat the bland food at home. The mother was so angry that she hit the child with a spatula.

Such a breakfast gives them full energy for the whole day.

However, at noon, Su Qianqian met someone she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Second sister?" Su Qianqian recognized the second sister, Su Fangfang, based on the original owner's memory.

Su Fangfang was shocked when she saw her expression, and obviously did not recognize her at first, "Qianqian? Are you Qianqian?" She was completely different from the impression she had of her.

"Yes, I'm Qianqian. Second sister, why are you here?" The original owner's second sister was a good person. In that family that favored boys over girls, she often protected the original owner and shared her food with her. Later, after she got married, the Su family received a lot of betrothal gifts, and the two sisters saw each other almost once a year.

"You, what happened to you? You've changed so much? I didn't recognize her." Su Fangfang walked forward and looked her up and down. It was really her sister. Her facial features hadn't changed, but her skin color had changed, and her temperament had changed as well.

The two sisters have similar facial features, but when they stand together, they would not be considered sisters at all. The main reason is that their temperaments are too different. Su Fangfang has a darker complexion and looks older, which is a very typical image of a rural woman.

"I've slowly changed after I figured out some things. Second sister, you haven't told me why you're here." Usually, Su Fangfang wouldn't come to see her unless it was necessary, because after growing up, the original owner became more and more unruly and aggressive, and she often quarreled with her second sister.

"By the way, Mom is sick. When I heard that you're back, I asked you to go back and see her."

Su Qianqian was stunned. Is he sick?

What a coincidence? Su's mother fell ill right after she came back?

And it wasn't anyone else in the Su family who came to call her, but Su Fangfang. This was because they knew that Su Fangfang was an honest person and that the two sisters had a deep relationship.

"Then we have to go back and check it out. Is it serious?" she asked.

"You are lying in bed and can't get up. I don't know how sick you are, but it looks quite serious. Mom wants to see you, so I came to find you." Su Fangfang was also called in temporarily. She had already seen Su's mother, who was lying sickly in bed.

Su Qianqian nodded, "I'll go home first, and then go see her with you."

She went to talk to Zhu Tianfang, who naturally had no objection, "Take some more things."

"Well, I know what's going on. I won't take care of the child anymore. Mom, you guys take care of it."

"Okay, don't worry, we'll watch it."

She was worried that bringing the child with her would cause chaos in the Su family, so she decided to go and check on the situation herself to see if Su's mother was really sick.

After going home to get some things, I followed Su Fangfang to visit Su's mother. It took about an hour to walk from Tianshui Brigade. Su Qianqian was really tired as she was still not used to walking.

"Second sister, how are you doing now? Are your in-laws treating you well?"

"She's been very nice to me. How about you? I heard you went to the city to take care of Cheng Yue. Why are you back?"

"I came back as soon as he recovered from his injury. It's more comfortable to live in the countryside." She didn't want to say more because she didn't want to worry her second sister.

Su Fangfang was obviously relieved. "You should be more restrained and stop taking money back to your parents' home. You have a family now, and it's different from when you were a girl."

"Second sister, you are right, so you see, I took some brown sugar and eggs back."

Su Fangfang had prepared herself mentally for being criticized for what she said, but her sister actually listened to her. She immediately smiled with relief, "You finally listened to me."

"Second sister, I was wrong before, don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, I won't bother with you. I raised you."

When the original owner was in the Su family, basically no one cared about her. It was Su Fangfang who took care of her. Su Fangfang herself was just a little kid at that time, but she raised the original owner like this.

It's a pity that the original owner was so severely brainwashed by his parents that he doesn't know what's good for him.

Arrived at Su's house.

"Mom, Fangfang and Qianqian are back." The eldest sister-in-law of the Su family shouted, and then took them to Su's mother's bed. Su's mother was lying on the bed weakly, "You two are here, cough cough..." She started coughing violently.

"It's so serious, let's go to the hospital?" Su Qianqian said.

"No, it's just an old problem. Just lie down and it will be fine." While talking, Su's mother looked at the things Su Qianqian was holding, "What did you bring?"
