"Sigh... I was originally planning to take the kids to Beijing to check out the housing options there..."
"This is such a mess...!"
"Don't worry, you can go after Gya gets married!"
"Honey, can you manage on your own?"
"What's wrong with me? Don't underestimate me!"
"No, I'm afraid you'll get tired! I'll call the old man and ask him to find someone to clean the room!"
"Won't this tire out the old commander?"
"I won't complain about being tired. If I knew you guys were going, I'd probably jump for joy!"
"Get lost...and you're still jumping around? How old are you?!"
"75, she exercises more every day than I do!" Chen Jianguo sighed.
Su Xia gave 놛 an elbow strike in annoyance, "You still have the nerve to say that!"
"Hehe... but that's enough for you!" After saying that, he hugged Su Xia and fell asleep.
"Ah...no, child?"
"You guys don't sleep here, how could you forget?"
"......"
Well, with no third wheel around, I guess I'll just have to let the man be!
The next day, Chen Jianguo left early in the morning to go to work, while Su Xia woke up in the middle of the night.
After breakfast, they started tidying up the vegetable garden. Chen's mother came over early in the morning to feed the pigs, then talked to Su Xia for a while before finally carrying her basket on her back.
"Your dad went to collect pig feed. He didn't sleep well last night, and I tried to stop him from going this morning, but he insisted. He's suffering terribly!"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll have Da Bao go with you. He'll be back early at noon!"
Chen's mother nodded, "Then I'll go get some pig feed. Staying at home is no good; that brat is making so much noise smashing things!"
Seeing Chen's mother walk out of her own yard, one can imagine how fiercely the girl had made a scene.
Shaking her head at the old house, Su Xia focused on tending the vegetable garden. The twins played by themselves, and sometimes when they came to visit her, Niu Niu would help them.
Su Xia squatted in the vegetable garden, pulling weeds, and suddenly felt very satisfied with this peaceful life.
It would be great if I had no worries.
"Auntie... Auntie is hitting Sister Ya again...!"
Su Xia frowned for the first time, then hurriedly dropped her things and went to the old house with Liu Ya.
All that could be heard was someone yelling, "Mom...you told me to go find Brother Tianlai...you promised to give me a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine, nothing less...?"
"Bullshit... That filthy scoundrel, his pockets are emptier than his face, and he even has a sewing machine on his back..."
Bang bang....
"You've caused me so much trouble... I've paid for your eight years of schooling, and you haven't given me a single penny back. Now I have to pay you back?"
Bang bang....
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
The room door was ajar, and Su Xia could see clearly that the only table and chairs in the room were smashed to pieces...
Xia Laidi grabbed a broom and called out to Gu Ya, who was hiding in the corner.
However, some might point out that Xia Laidi only hit her body...
"Sister-in-law, you're here?"
Su Xia nodded to Liu Chunxia, who had just arrived, and asked, "Why aren't you at work?"
"Nothing much to do today, the captain told me to come back and rest for a day!" Liu Chunxia said, beaming with joy.
Su Xia sighed. "If you're going to watch the show, then watch the show. Why are you resting?"
Sure enough, Liu Chunxia called out into the room, "Second sister-in-law, if all else fails, let Gan Ya go and ask. If they agreed, they can definitely give it to us!"
Su Xia looked at her speechlessly, "You really know how to add fuel to the fire."
"Liu Chunxia, what's it to you? You've seen the Ni family before, how could we possibly give it to them?"
Xia Laidi came out, her anger subsided, and yelled back at Liu Chunxia.
"Second sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. If the child is willing, we parents can't stop him!"
"You... Liu Chunxia, you're something else! Don't forget, you still have Liu Ya!"
Liu Chunxia was taken aback, but quickly recovered. "You should worry about yourself. I don't have a daughter who doesn't cherish her husband before marriage and still wants to keep her family's house with her."
snort....
Su Xia watched Liu Chunxia leave, and Xia Laidi remain angry...
The second time, Liuya came over and shouted, "Auntie, Second Uncle is beating Sister Liuya...!"
Su Xia... hurriedly left the old house. Chen Jiandang had probably just finished fighting. She looked at the girl sitting on the ground.
The face is still the same face, but the bruises are gradually fading. Where was it hit?
"Sister-in-law, Second Brother beat her pretty badly; she was limping just now."
Su Xia's eyes widened, and sure enough, she noticed a bruise on Gu Ya's ankle.
"What's the reason this time?"
"This time it's not Second Brother's fault. She knew her family wouldn't provide a dowry, and her future in-laws would only offer a bride price and a bicycle, so she set her sights on Third Sister and Third Sister."
"He insisted on going out early this morning, saying he wanted to send letters to Daya and Sanya. Second Brother was supposed to go to work, but he came back, read the letters, and this is what happened...!"
Liu Chunxia became more and more excited as she spoke, and she was much more lively than before, compared to her previous gloomy demeanor.
Su Xia sighed – people really do have to make comparisons before transferring their own pain to others.
"Dad... Waaah... Eldest sister, second sister, if they knew, they would definitely send me things..."
"Don't even think about it. I'm not going to tell them about your marriage!"
“Dad..…” the girl cried out.
Everyone frowned upon hearing this. "Am I not your biological daughter? Why do my eldest and second eldest sisters have everything, while I have nothing?"
Waaah....
They cried a lot, but they don't deserve any sympathy.
"You only have yourself to blame. You chose to go down the wrong path instead of living a proper life!"
"What nonsense! Tianlai and I like each other, isn't marriage a normal thing?"
"So you're getting married? In six days you'll be a member of the Wei family, and have nothing to do with your own family anymore!"
"Dad... what do you mean by this?" 꾉Ya was a little afraid to think about it.
Chen Jiandang said expressionlessly, "The locks on the house in the county town have been changed, so don't worry about it. There's nothing here that's yours. Don't come back if you can avoid it. As for your dowry, I only gave you 40 yuan downstairs, making it 50 yuan. You can take all your belongings with you, but that's all!"
Su Xia watched Chen Jiandang finish speaking, pick up his hoe, and leave, then looked at the dejected Gu Ya...
Why....
What's going on here?
After two days of relative calm, Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief and was lying in the living room reading a book...
Yes—with nothing much going on lately, Su Xia has picked up novels again.
Bang...
Su Xia stared in surprise at the book lying on the ground, then glared at Liu Ya who had just entered.
With a bad feeling, Liu Ya anxiously said, "Auntie, you have to go see! Grandma has fainted from anger..."
What.....?
Oh no, this is a really big problem!
"Come on... hurry up, what made your grandma faint?"
As Liu Ya ran, she explained, "I don't know, but Grandma yelled at Sister Liu Ya, 'Shameless!' Not a single word!"
Su Xia...it's that brat again!
After leaving the old house, I looked towards 꾉丫's room; the door must have been locked from the inside.
Su Xia was worried about Chen's mother, so she rushed over to check on her and was startled to see Chen's mother lying peacefully on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"mother...."
It took a long time before Su Xia noticed that Chen's mother had moved. She was so frightened that she touched her chest, her face turning pale.
"The eldest son's..."
"What's wrong? Liuya said you fainted?"
"I feel weak... It went dark just now... I really don't remember anything."
Upon hearing this, Su Xia immediately checked her pulse and listened to her eyelids and chest for a while...
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. How about now? Do you feel nauseous?"
Mother Chen gently shook her head. "My head is buzzing, I have no energy, and I have nothing else!"
After Chen's mother finished speaking, Su Xia understood that it was probably due to anger and stress, coupled with her advanced age, that she had fainted for a while.
He took out some brown sugar water, then took out medicine from his storage space and handed it to Chen's mother, saying, "Drink this medicine, and you'll feel better soon!"
