Chapter 566: Willing but powerless
Su Ermei was interrupted by her mother before she could finish her words. She watched her daughter become more and more excited as she spoke.
She said with a serious face: "Erniu, what nonsense are you talking about? Mom knows that you want to be proud in front of the Hu family, but your eldest brother has the ability to make the Hu family dare not be arrogant.
Don't try to harm your elder brother with evil intentions, otherwise, if your elder brother gets angry, don't blame me and your father for standing by you."
These few short sentences exhausted all of Su's mother's strength. After she finished speaking, the expression on her face became even more sad.
It was as if these words were suffocating her and making her unable to bear it.
Su Ermei stared at her parents in disbelief with her eyes wide open. Her father's face looked very ugly.
She was furious and asked without thinking, "Dad, Mom, my eldest brother is rich now, do you also want to despise your daughter? You are despising the poor and loving the rich, do you know that?"
"Erniu, I know you've had a hard time these past two years, but your dad and I haven't had an easy time either! Your eldest brother was in that condition, he had to take medicine every day, and his future was bleak, so we couldn't spare the time to take care of you.
What's more, when we went to the city, your father also asked you what you thought, asking you if you wanted to go with us to the city to eat commercial grain.
At that time, your eldest brother risked his life to get this opportunity, but you said that the Hu family treated you well, so you were unwilling to go to the city with us.
Later, you had a hard time and were controlled by the Hu family. How could you blame your elder brother? You are still pretending to be confused with your mother. Ask yourself, did you despise your elder brother for being a cripple at that time?
Afraid that you would not get enough money to work in the city, we would ask you to borrow money to support your elder brother, so you would rather not eat commercial grain than go to the city? "
Su's mother sat beside the bed and looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, her weathered face full of helplessness and sadness.
It can be seen how uncomfortable and helpless she felt when she said these words.
"Mom" Su Erniu looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. She felt a little pain in her heart, so much so that she couldn't utter a word.
She knew what her mother said was true, but she didn't want to leave because her husband and children were here, and this was her roots.
What's more, Hu's parents-in-law wanted her to give the opportunity to eat commercial grain to her sister-in-law Hu Meili.
At the very least, she had to tell her husband Hu Yungen that if a woman went to the city, her heart would become wild and she would definitely abandon her husband and children.
But she was also afraid that her husband would abandon him after he started eating commercial grain!
In the end, the argument became unresolved and her father-in-law said that no one should go to the city to eat commercial grain.
The eldest brother-in-law of the Su family is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money they have, it is not enough to pay for his medicine. They should just stay at home and farm.
Thinking about this, Su Ermei took two steps forward and said, "Dad..."
"Don't call me dad, I'm not your dad, the old man from the Hu family is your real dad."
There was a hint of reproach and indifference in Su's father's voice. He stood up, turned around and walked out the door.
After walking a few steps, she turned back and looked at Su Erniu, her voice still cold: "Erniu, you are now the mother of three children, you must lead by example in what you say and do."
"Dad, what did I do wrong? I learned from you and mom since I was a child. If I did something wrong, it was also because of you."
"You...you...did we teach you to take advantage of your power to bully the Hu family?" Father Su was so angry that his eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.
Su Ermei looked at her parents speechlessly. If she lost her parents' favor, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of the Hu family.
Like her mother said, with her eldest brother's ability, she doesn't need to please Hu Meili, and she can also make the Hu family listen to her.
After she figured it out, she immediately put on a pitiful look: "Dad, Mom, it's my fault. I will listen to you from now on."
Su's mother looked at her daughter seriously. Years of hard work had made Erniu's skin dark, and her dark eyes were lifeless at this moment.
Seeing that her daughter finally figured it out, she spoke in a much gentler tone: "Erniu, Mom knows that you have suffered a lot in the past two years, but you can't blame us. There are many people who have suffered more than you. Who doesn't suffer these days?"
"Mom, I get it. You guys go to bed early. I'm going back to my room to sleep." Su Ermei said, then turned around and left.
When Father Su saw his daughter leave, he walked to the bedside and asked, "Mom, do you think Erniu took our advice to heart?"
"I don't know either. Tomorrow I'll go to the village committee and call Jiaojiao to ask her."
"Is this really okay?"
"His father, are you afraid that Jiaojiao will dislike us? Jiaojiao won't. I want to tell Jiaojiao what Erniu said."
"Won't Jiaojiao blame Erniu?"
"I'm even more afraid that Erniu is still determined to do something evil, and if she does harm Cizizi, Jiaojiao will hate Erniu to death if she finds out.
If Jiaojiao knew what Erniu was thinking in advance, she would teach us what to do to avoid making big mistakes.
Is it more important to save face or to keep our family intact?"

"Okay, go ahead and say what you want. You've been tired all afternoon, so go to bed early."
"Well, look how humane our son has become now. He even thoughtfully bought us a new quilt and duvet cover."
"Hey, he even bought pajamas. Does he want to live in Shuanghe Village permanently?"
"How can I know so much? I'll ask Zijie tomorrow and I'll know. It seems that Cizi has brought back two more people. Is he planning to open a factory in Shuanghe Village?"
"Well, why do you care so much? I've been in the city for three years and I don't feel like I belong. I'd rather go home and feel free."
The couple spoke quietly, thinking they were just whispering, but Su Shuoci had good hearing and the earthen walls were not soundproof.
He really didn't listen on purpose, but he still heard everything his parents and second sister said.
Su Ermei wanted to harm him, but she didn't have the ability to do so. However, her behavior made him unhappy. Fortunately, his parents were not confused.
If they want to call Jiaojiao, they can go back to Qingcheng. Let Zijie take them back tomorrow morning.
This year, his family will celebrate the New Year in the newly purchased yard in Qingcheng. He will send them back to live out their retirement years in the village once the yard is fully developed.
Everything will be fine, but the only thing that makes him uncomfortable is that he cannot contact his wife until his mission is completed.
Su Shuoci lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. The quilt was too thick and heavy, not at all lighter or warmer than the duck down quilt that belonged to someone other than his wife.
Otherwise, let's mobilize the villagers to raise ducks...
In town, Hu Meili returned home overnight on her third brother's motorcycle. Her husband was stunned when he saw her.
He thought his wife would not be back until tomorrow! Hu Meili was born with unparalleled beauty, and everyone envied him for his good fortune, but only he understood it in his heart.
An old man marrying a young woman has its advantages and disadvantages.
As he got older, he became more and more powerless, but she still demanded more...
