I didn’t think so before, but now I understand how important it is to have a home of your own. She bought it with her own money and is the owner of the house. No one can kick her out!
"this,"
Village chief He and Wang Xiu and his wife looked at each other. On the one hand, they felt that Surhe was too formal. On the other hand, there were indeed a few houses in the village that belonged to the village collective and were used for raising silkworms. One of them was empty, but there was nothing in that room except a table with a broken leg.
The environment is not suitable for living in any aspect.
"The conditions of that house are too simple," Wang Xiu hesitated.
"It's okay, just clean it up. I don't want to continue living in the Su family in my current situation."
You are not someone else's child, so what's the big deal about living in someone else's house?
Su Erhe thought to himself with self-mockery.
He Zheng felt that her smile was particularly heartbreaking. His heart was in a knot and hurt a lot.
"Su Erhe, you live in my house and I'll live in the silkworm room. Anyway, as long as we two don't live together, others can't gossip about us."
Hearing this, Wang Xiu's eyes lit up. "Yes, this is a solution. He Zheng is a grown man anyway. It doesn't matter where he lives. No one will bully him, and it's safe."
Let Suerhe live alone. After all, the silkworm room is at the northernmost part of the village, and there is no guarantee that someone will have any evil thoughts.
Little girls always suffer losses easily.
If it was He Zheng...
Who would take advantage of a man!
Su Erhe looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, "Aunt, this is not good, right?"
"It's decided. I think it's a good idea." Village Chief He glanced at his son, quite proud. This behavior seemed like a man's style. "Let's eat first. After dinner, ask your mother to clean up the silkworm room. From today on, He Zheng, you will live there and eat at home. No matter what others say, as long as we are doing the right thing, we are not afraid of others' gossip."
Su Erhe really didn't expect this result. She had already decided to live in the silkworm room for two months.
"Uncle, aunt,"
"We are all family, there is no need to be polite." To be honest, Wang Xiu also felt sorry for this girl. She was a good girl. The meat floss and dried meat she made were delicious. She could ride a bicycle and drive a hand tractor, and she was polite. It was a pity that her life was so rough, which was really heartbreaking.
"Sit down, I'll make you some scrambled eggs."
"I'll go."
Su Erhe was too embarrassed to stand up and tried to help, but He Zheng pulled her back and said, "Let my mom go, you sit down."
"Please sit down."
She really couldn't sit still, so she got up and went to the kitchen with Wang Xiu.
She is not good at farm work, but she can cook.
Glancing at the green onions in the basket, she washed a handful, cut them into sections, and skillfully made a dish of green onion eggs. With just these few steps, Wang Xiu felt refreshed. The eggs were fried until golden brown, and the aroma of the green onions filled the whole house with fragrance.
When the dishes were served on the table, Village Chief He and He Zheng were particularly enthusiastic and kept praising their deliciousness.
Wang Xiu also took a bite and said, "It's delicious. The dishes cooked by Erhe with the same ingredients are always delicious. Teach me in the future and I will cook for you."
Su Erhe looked at them eating happily and felt satisfied. "It's okay. I can cook in the future."
She never worked in the fields, so if she didn't even cook, she would be too lazy.
Wang Xiu glanced at her husband and smiled knowingly.
This daughter-in-law is so sensible.
After dinner, Wang Xiu didn't let Su Erhe wash the dishes. She washed the dishes, then took the broom, bucket and rag to clean the silkworm room. Then she put a bed in the room. The bed was simple, just a bench and a wooden board covered with straw. Anyway, it would be less than two months, and there were still quilts and mattresses at home. She spread them on top, and He Zheng, a grown man, could sleep on it.
Su Erhe also helped with the cleaning and arrangement.
Looking at the simple environment, I felt distressed. "He Zheng,"
"It's okay," He Zheng sat down on the wooden bed twice to reassure Su Erhe. "When I was out running around, I didn't even have a bed. I slept wherever I could find. Sometimes I even slept in the wilderness. The environment here is pretty good."
"Yes, I know you are tough." Wang Xiu also said, but despite saying so, she still cleaned the silkworm room carefully and checked the windows. Seeing that the windows were a little loose, she asked Village Chief He to come over in the evening to fix them.
"Okay, we're almost done, let's go back."
The three of them came out of the silkworm room. Wang Xiu locked the door and handed the key to He Zheng, "Keep it for yourself."
"Know."
After finishing here, the three of them walked home together. Everyone in the village knew that He Zheng and Su Erhe were going to get married after the New Year, so it was not surprising to see the three of them walking together.
On the other hand, on the Su family's side, although Su Erhe left, the matter was not settled yet.
"What you two families do is your business. I only know that my daughter has suffered greatly because of your selfishness. My daughter Xiaoyun could have grown up by my side, but because of you, she has been languishing in the countryside for eighteen years. In short, you have to compensate us. I originally thought that since you have a son, I could let your son marry my daughter as compensation, but unfortunately, you have three daughters, and Nie Chuan is also a son of the old Su family, so this marriage is naturally off the table. I'll compensate you in other ways. I'll discuss it with my husband when I get back, and then I'll go to your house."
Now that the matter has been clarified, Du's mother is relieved. She glances at Chen Yuqin, and how can she not feel resentful?
I really want to beat her up again.
Don't implicate her daughter by exchanging the baby?
What kind of thing is this!
"Xiaoyun, let's go."
Du's mother took Du Ruoyun away.
At the Su family's side, the atmosphere did not ease at all, but became even more solemn.
Mother Su sat on the bench, her hands on the table, and sighed, "Tell me, what should we do now?"
Chen Yuqin didn't say anything.
Nie Chuan didn't know what to say.
It looked as if he had the upper hand.
Aunt Nie looked at her confused daughter-in-law and said, "Just say something. You don't want to acknowledge your own daughter? If it were me, there'd be no need to waste time. The child should go back to their own family. Our Nie family... we've made things like this, so we owe it to you two families to compensate. Also, this matter can't be hidden from my son. When we get back to the county, I'll send him a telegram asking him to come back no matter what."
When Chen Yuqin heard that her husband had to come back, her face turned even paler and she shed silent tears.
My husband has always been an upright person. If he knew about this...
How dare she have the face!
Aunt Nie couldn't bear to see her looking so unworthy. "You're not usually a fool. Now that you've been exposed, won't you admit your mistake? That girl... she feels wronged. Who wouldn't feel wronged in this situation? Now she's walking out alone. Home isn't home anymore. You, as her mother..."
He didn't finish his words.
Chen Yuqin stood up and ran outside.
