As soon as Su Xia and Chen Jianguo arrived, a man immediately pulled the man who was arguing with Xia Laidi away.
After Su Xia noticed, she rolled her eyes at the man blocking her way. Ever since he was promoted to bureau chief, the most obvious sign of this was among the neighbors…
The Qiao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used to come to Su Xia whenever they had a chance to take advantage of her, but now, after meeting her, they don't even say a word.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see this family is asking for an exorbitant price?" The woman is your mother, Wei Tianlai, Li Zhaodi. Judging from her name, you can tell that she is another young woman from a family with a serious criminal record.
"Pah... Let me make this clear, who's asking for exorbitant prices? Why don't you go ask around? Which girl in our family doesn't start with a big purchase?"
Xia Laidi shouted disdainfully, and when she saw Chen Jianguo come in, she also threw a tantrum.
The man, Wei Guochang, gripped his wife's arm tightly and hissed, "Shut up! What's the use of shouting at a time like this?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhaodi gritted her teeth and glared at Xia Laidi with secret resentment. The latter, relying on her turf, displayed an air of fearlessness that made Li Zhaodi want to attack her...
Su Xia looked around but didn't see the young boy, so she moved closer to Liu Chunxia and asked, "Where's Wei Tianlai?"
"It's hidden inside, my second brother hit me again just now!"
Forehead....
"Comrade Wei, since this has already happened, let's try to find a solution. What do you think?" Chen Jianguo stepped forward.
The wife paused, intimidated by Chen Jianguo's imposing aura, and dared not shout again.
Finally, both sets of parents sat together, with Chen Jianguo in charge to prevent another fight.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen didn't want to get involved; they just wanted Wuya to get married as soon as possible.
Su Xia pulled up a stool and sat next to her man, the perfect spot to listen to gossip.
Chen Jianjun and Liu Chunxia sat blocking the entrance, while the boy Wei Tianlai, who came in later, could only stand behind his parents. Although he kept his head down, Su Xia still noticed that he had a bruise on one eye and a cut on the corner of his mouth...
The large palm print on the side of his face is as striking as if it were imprinted there.
Bang... another table-slamming sound.
Su Xia saw Xia Laidi's aggressive demeanor for the first time: "It's this stinky girl who ruined our Wuya! Like mother, like son!"
"you...."
"What's wrong with your daughter? Isn't it because she's indecent?"
"Bullshit! You're the one who's shameless! Don't you even look at what your son looks like? If it weren't for his sweet talk, my daughter would be blind to even look at him!"
Su Xia's lips twitched. Xia Laidi's words were indeed blunt, but she couldn't refute them.
Seeing the person's chest heaving with anger, Su Xia was afraid that she would faint from lack of breath.
Wei Tianlai, on his own, is alright, but the Chen brothers, Chen Jianguo and Chen Dabao, are both tall and strong, and Da Bao and the others are even more...
Of the several sons-in-law, only Er Ya's husband was 175cm tall; the others were all 180cm, with handsome faces. Although not dashing, they were all the kind of faces the Chen family liked.
Su Xia had seen Er Ya's family photo. To be honest, Er Ya's husband was the most handsome, somewhat resembling a modern-day heartthrob.
As for Wei Tianlai, he's probably only about 70 cm tall, with wide eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, and acne scars on his face...
She is thin and frail, as if blown away by a gust of wind, and clearly takes after her mother. This is what Li Zhaodi looks like.
However, Wei Guochang, although not as good as the men of the Chen family, was much better looking than Er'er...
Su Xia looked at Li Zhaodi, then at Wei Guochang who remained silent to the side, and then at the children of the two people behind her...
It's normal to suspect that the child isn't biologically related, but to find that the child looks like the mother!
"Comrade Chen, our family really can't afford it. We have younger siblings, and we're both ordinary workers; we really have no money!"
Her voice was quite pleasant. Su Xia was curious about how this man had taken a liking to Li Zhaodi back then.
"Why bother talking to them so much? She's already slept with him; if she doesn't marry Tianlai, who else would she marry?"
Su Xia took a step back, and sure enough, Xia Lai Di got up and started grabbing her hair, followed by a loud slap.
"You bitch, I'll beat you to death! My daughter only has one more year until she graduates from high school. With her uncle around, she'll definitely have a good job. It's all been ruined by your son..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Guochang did not help his wife who had been beaten.
ah...."
"That's also because...your daughter...is indecent...!"
"And he even said that, 'You son of a bitch! We could find tons of those in our village, I wouldn't even look at them!'"
"My eldest daughter is a teacher in Beijing, her husband drives a car, my second daughter is in the army, and her husband is an officer. Aren't they all top-notch? You still think your family is so great...?"
*Slap slap...*
Bang bang....
Ahh....
"Master... save me...!"
Okay, the two started fighting again. One of them was lying on the ground, and Xia Lai Di was on top of him, shooting at his face and body.
Li Zhaodi works in a textile factory, but how could she possibly compare to Xia Laidi, who toils year-round...
No one from the Chen family stopped them, let alone Wei's father. Su Xia looked at Wei Tianlai, who remained silent, head bowed, and hidden away...
Seeing his mother being beaten without any reaction, and only knowing how to run away from things, it's clear this man has no sense of responsibility.
Su Xia could see it, but Chen Jianguo and Chen Jiandang certainly couldn't. Chen Jianguo's face grew increasingly dark, while Chen Jiandang probably felt the situation was settled...
He was now surrounded by an aura of decay and despair.
Not wanting to get involved, Su Xia left the main room. As she passed her old room, someone rushed out.
"Aunt...and my parents...?"
It was Wu Ya, her face covered in colors, blood dripping from the corners of her eyes, while Su Xia remained expressionless...
Wu Ya gradually fell silent. Meeting her aunt's disapproving gaze, her body began to tremble. She wanted to hide, but her heart was filled with thoughts of Tian Lai...
Since Wu Ya noticed that her aunt didn't seem to like her very much, did she regret it...?
Definitely. In a normal relationship, proposing marriage shouldn't be a problem, but...
It's too late to say anything now...
"They're still talking, you should wait a bit!" Su Xia said, then left without waiting for Wu Ya to reply.
"Wu Ya...." Oh... I understand!" she murmured to Su Xia's retreating figure.
After Su Xia got home, she started cooking. After all, no matter what, Wu Ya wasn't her child...
While stir-frying vegetables, I also steamed buns. Chen Jianguo is coming back today, so I'll make something delicious.
I took the salted meat out of the jar and made a stew of green beans and pork, and also added an eggplant.
Smashed cucumber, stir-fried greens, and steamed egg custard all in one bowl, along with steamed buns...
There were plenty of eggs at home, and Su Xia wasn't one to be frugal, so she steamed a whole pot of eggs...
As Niu Niu helped add the filling, her usual cheerful and playful demeanor vanished...
"Mother, what was Wuya thinking? Why did she leave it perfectly fine...!"
After thinking for a long time, Niu Niu still didn't understand. Clearly, back then, Da Ya and the others endured so much just to go to school...
Besides, Wuya is a high school student now... After this incident, how can she continue her studies?
Su Xia glanced at Niu Niu, whose brows were furrowed, and didn't know what to say. The two were the same age, both 17, except that Wu Ya's birthday was a little later.
"Alright... no matter what, she doesn't regret her decision!" That was the only way Su Xia could comfort her.
Niu Niu frowned... "Regret?" She wouldn't regret it now, but what about later?
