When Su Erhe returned to the Su family, he was extremely hungry. He washed his hands and took out ten big meat buns from his bag and ate each one in a few bites.
"Slow down, no one's competing with you."
Su's mother kept nagging, but her hands didn't stop either. She poured a bowl of soup and placed it next to Su Erhe. The soup was egg drop soup. Su's mother was very frugal when cooking and didn't want to use too much oil and water, so she only beat two eggs. There were some green chopped green onions floating in the soup, and at a glance it was all soup.
"Um."
Su Erhe ate two meat buns and drank a big bowl of egg soup. He burped loudly and undignifiedly, and was finally full.
"Sister, don't let Brother He Zheng see you like this." Su Xiatian, who was used to seeing her beautiful and generous sister, felt that seeing her sister like this... hurt her eyes.
Su Erhe rolled his eyes at him and asked, "What do you know?"
What is the charm of love?
I feel that watching someone picking their nose or pooping is sexy and handsome.
Su Xiatian: “…”
Forget it, the meat buns are so delicious, he should just eat them.
"Erhe, this is not your first time going to the county town. You always came back at noon in the past. Why did you take so long today? Did something happen?" Father Su was still more worried. Although Erhe was very capable and familiar with the county town, she was a girl after all.
"Your father is right. I was just about to ask you this. What happened to you and He Zheng?"
Su Erhe had just had a full meal and a good drink, so he briefly recounted the story of his arrest. Just a few words made Su's father and mother break out in a sweat. People like them didn't understand much else, but they knew that they couldn't offend those people in the Revolutionary Committee. Few of them would have a good ending if they fell into their hands.
Two years ago, there was a family in the neighboring village who used to be a small landlord. They secretly hid some valuable gold and silver treasures. They were really hung up and beaten. They couldn't stand it anymore and revealed all the places where they hid the things.
Because the old Su family is poor, they are actually very safe, and the Su family members are all law-abiding.
"Why would they arrest him? It was a perfect situation. I know there are a few alleys in the county town. Many people go there to exchange small items. I haven't heard of anyone being arrested." Su's mother had also been to that place.
Speaking of this, Surhe also got angry.
"I suspect it was that vicious woman from the Du family." Apart from her, Su Erhe couldn't think of anyone else who would harm her like this.
"What on earth does she want to do?"
Su's mother was really anxious. What had they, ordinary people, done to deserve being bullied by Du's mother?
What is this called? The hemp rope breaks only at the thinnest part?
How could they have the ability to challenge Du's mother?
"I think she is still thinking about what happened back then. We have told her that the baby was not replaced by us, but she still doesn't believe it." Father Su was also angry. Their family had been raising a girl for others for more than ten years, and it was obvious that their family was just as unlucky.
Their thoughts were the same as Suerhe's guess, that Du's mother just couldn't let go of the fact that she had taken the wrong child away.
"Mom, what happened when I was born? Do you remember?"
Mother Su said, "I don't remember it very clearly. After all, so many years have passed. But the Du family came to make trouble once before, so I have been thinking about it since then."
With the Su family's financial situation, they would never have been willing to go to a clinic to give birth. They all gave birth at home. Moreover, Su's mother had already given birth to one child, so she didn't take the second one seriously. Perhaps she was too careless, so something went wrong later. She almost lost her life from the pain of labor, so she was rushed to the clinic.
She was in excruciating pain at the time and fainted after the baby was born. She had no idea what was happening.
Su's father and grandmother were with him in the hospital. The nurse handed the baby to them and said it was a girl.
He stayed in the hospital for a few more days, but after calculating the money, he decided not to stay any longer and was quickly discharged to go home to recuperate. Because the older one already had a son, and the younger one was a girl, Su's father and mother thought it was a good idea, so they took the child home and raised him well.
"If the Du family hadn't come knocking on our door, we wouldn't have thought we'd picked up the wrong child. There's nothing wrong with us. It's the same as if our own family didn't raise the girl and gave her to someone else. And as for Comrade Du, my God, I was immediately taken to the delivery room when I got to the hospital to give birth. How could I have seen her beforehand? By the time I woke up in the ward, she had already been transferred to another hospital."
She said the same thing when the Du family came to make trouble, but Du's mother just didn't believe it.
"Erhe, let's do this. We're just digging for food in the fields. As the old saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. After the autumn harvest is over, I'll go to the Du family. I'm going to risk my reputation. Du's mother is a cadre, so I'll go to her workplace and make a scene. She won't let our family live in peace, so I'll turn her house upside down. After all, I'm a country woman, and my reputation is worthless. I want to see if she, a cadre, can afford to lose face like this."
Su's mother was furious. What was wrong with the country people? Did they have to swallow their anger when they were bullied?
"mom!"
This was the first time Su Erhe saw Mother Su being so tough, and it was all for her. She felt warm in her heart. Although Mother Su was a stingy person, she was still good to her children, and it was not easy to be the head of a family. "I'll go with you when the time comes."
"No need. You are just a little girl and you haven't gotten married yet. It's not appropriate for you to do this." Su's mother was thinking that she would throw a tantrum and throw a tantrum. How could she let her daughter do such a thing? Of course, it was her, the "old woman", who would do it.
Father Su said, "I'll take some things and go look for my cousin's niece's son. I heard he's also a cadre, so maybe we can talk to him."
The atmosphere was originally quite serious, but when Su Erhe heard about this relationship, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Dad, forget it. They're such distant relatives, they won't be willing to help."
Su's father also knew that there was little hope, but there was nothing he could do. The Su family was too down-to-earth, and none of their close relatives were cadres.
"Just those relatives of yours..." Su's mother also shook her head.
The atmosphere relaxed a lot. After saying all these things, Father Su and the others had not finished their dinner yet, so they picked up their bowls and continued eating.
Suddenly, Mother Su put down the bowl and said, "Since you were caught, they just let you out like that?"
That doesn't make sense.
This was another thing that Su Erhe couldn't figure out. "I don't know either. They just let us go like that."
This matter was really too strange, and made Su Erhe feel confused and bewildered. She had originally traveled here just to live a pastoral life.
Now……
She couldn't guess the exciting plot.
"Could it be related to the He family?" Father Su muttered.
"Shh, don't say this in front of the He family," Su's mother slapped the back of Su's father's hand with chopsticks.
"Mom, why can't we talk about this in front of the He family?" Su Erhe also expressed that she didn't understand.
Mother Su looked at her nervously, "Think about it, He Zheng was arrested just to help you. Village Chief He and Wang Xiu will be unhappy if they find out. They're causing trouble for their son before he even gets married. Which parents-in-law would like to marry a girl who causes trouble for their family? After all, we all hope to live a peaceful life as a family."
so?
Is she on the blacklist of Village Chief He and Aunt Wang Xiu?
Little did they know that when He Zheng returned home he didn't say a word about what happened during the day.
He is proud to protect his woman!
