Su Mingruan looked at his cousins. They were a little thin and had a yellow complexion. Although their clothes were not patched, they were not a recent trend.
"Come in and sit inside to get warm?" Su Mingruan asked.
The eldest cousin stared at her belly that could not be concealed and waved her hands carefully: "Cousin, you have to have a good rest. You will have a younger brother in the next year. We here will prevent you from having a younger brother."
She said she glanced at Zhou Jibei again, then took the two girls and walked outside.
Su Mingruan watched a group of cousins leave and looked back at Zhou Jibei.
He kept a straight face as if he had dropped money.
"Why is your cousin looking at me honestly?" Zhou Jibei asked.
Su Mingruan was also curious.
We can’t look at Jibei last week.
Although Zhou Jibei is tall and imposing, not everyone likes Zhou Jibei.
If it were true, her life would be wonderful.
"It depends on how lucky you are to marry me as your wife." Su Mingruan said with a smile.
Zhou Jibei lowered his head and smiled muffledly.
Indeed, meeting her has put all the good luck in my life to use.
As night fell, my sister-in-law and her family stayed in the big room to rest.
Huo Huaiwei, who had been playing with Su Qing late, came back from there, took Su Mingruan's hand and said, "Sister, let me tell you something."
"Say." Su Mingruan looked at Huo Huaiwei.
Looking at the increasingly fleshy face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Xiao Huaiwei had lived in the village for a few days. It was obvious that her face was chubby and her skin was thicker. Even her face was flushed with cold. However, when she returned to the capital, she didn't know if her biological mother and father would recognize her. come out.
"I saw that aunt had been beaten. She was covered in bruises and bruises."
Huo Huaiwei said.
When Su Mingruan heard this, his heart sank.
Beaten……
All she could think of was domestic violence.
She asked Huo Huaiwei: "How did you know? Did you see it?"
"Ang, she accidentally got water on her body while she was helping her aunt wash dishes and pots. When she was changing clothes, sister Qingqing and I were playing hide and seek. I was hiding in the closet. She took off her outer clothes, but they were all old inside. As soon as my legs stretched out and my sleeves were lifted like this, I saw it.”
Huo Huaiwei raised his hand as he spoke and lifted up his loose pants, revealing brand new Northeastern cotton pants underneath.
Su Mingruan nodded...
She didn't have much impression of her sister-in-law, whether in her previous life or this life.
Of course, part of the reason is that my sister-in-law is married far away and I don’t see her more than once a year.
Even if they did meet, they wouldn't be able to say a few words.
There is also the instigation from Wu Chunmei in previous years. He coaxed her into a high-pitched tone and didn't care to talk to her sister-in-law's family.
"Okay, I understand. You go to bed quickly. Children will not grow taller if they don't sleep at night." Su Mingruan stared at Huo Huaiwei with a hint of intimidation, and Huo Huaiwei turned around and ran to the rest room.
She still wants to grow taller.
Su Mingruan and Zhou Jibei were the only ones left in the room.
Zhou Jibei asked her: "Do you want to take care of this matter?"
"I asked grandma to ask my sister-in-law if she is really being domestically abused and if she takes the initiative to seek help, the Su family will not sit idly by and ignore it. If she does not seek help, we can only respect her choice."
Su Ming Ruan said.
She didn't know what kind of temper this sister-in-law was.
There are many foolish people in this world.
If you encounter this kind of thing, you can only respect and bless it.
Late at night, she went to the big room accompanied by Zhou Jibei and told Mrs. Xu Aihua these things.
The old lady's expression changed on the spot.
Who wants the girl he gave birth to to be bullied in an outsider's house?
After Su Mingruan left, she went to ask her daughter Su Huiying for questioning. However, her daughter said that she was doing well and there was no need to worry.
The old lady sighed and did not continue to ask next time.
Whether life is good or bad, the person concerned knows it in his heart.
Time passes quickly after the new year.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Mingruan's sister-in-law Su Huiying left with her three daughters.
Old Mrs. Xu Aihua stood at the entrance of the village, her eyes full of reluctance. At her age, she knew very well that children who were married outside would only have to look at each other once.
Yesterday, she pulled her eldest granddaughter An Zhenzhen and talked a lot. She also stuffed the child with fifty yuan and said that if she was bullied severely, remember to come here.
The eldest granddaughter held the money and responded with a blushing face.
Su Mingruan took the old man back home.
Years pass.
All wastes will prosper.
There is an additional factory in the village, and construction will start on the eighth day of the lunar month.
After Li Yingquan posted the recruitment brochure. The whole village is excited. This is a job opportunity. Who doesn't want to get in? If you think you are capable enough, queue up for an interview.
One family even called their married daughter home to let their children try it out.
The people in the village became even more enthusiastic when they saw the Su family.
Some people even offered to marry Su Jianguo, who had divorced Wu Chunmei twice.
Su Jianguo was very resistant to this.
Two unsuccessful marriages made him doubt that he was destined to have no wife.
Especially the person in the village who wanted to marry him was about the same age as him. He lived a hard life in the village and looked older than him.
He was somewhat reluctant.
and……
He thought of Feng Meijuan, whom he had gradually become familiar with in recent days.
He thought it was time to make it clear to the girl that he had no intention of starting a family for the time being.
He may be suitable for immersing himself in making money.
Other things, especially the family, simply cannot be handled well.
When someone approached Su Mingruan and said he wanted to be her new stepmother, Su Mingruan's scalp went numb.
The purpose of opening a factory is to allow people at home who don't like to go out to live comfortably in the local area and be respected by the local people.
I'm not trying to make it easier for others to take shortcuts.
Moreover, she had chosen the stepmother herself.
Dad hasn't been so lost lately.
I think it will take some time before I can accept my new life.
She stopped paying attention to Su Jianguo's feelings.
Now Wu Chunmei has entered the situation and will not be able to get out in a short time.
She was free now, so she went to the recruitment site. The factory was developing fairly steadily under Li Yingquan's management.
Li Yingquan is a responsible person and manages things strictly.
In the crowd, she saw the owner of the noodle shop opposite the barber shop bringing a girl over for an interview.
She said hello to Li Yingquan and talked about this girl.
Li Yingquan walked over to the girl who was interviewing in person.
The girl was a little timid, but fortunately she was quick and could work as a workshop employee. Li Yingquan assigned the people and continued to be busy.
Su Mingruan returned home from the factory.
Zhou Jibei's face looked a little ugly.
"What happened?" she asked.
Zhou Jibei took a deep breath: "The recruit Danzi who went to the Golden Triangle for a mission has disappeared. It is said that he got some kind of chip. The superiors asked me to check it out. Therefore, I have to send you to Beijing in advance. I don't want you to take the train alone." rest assured.
When you go to Beijing, don't go to Zhong's house first. People there tend to make you emotional.
The Huo family...you see, the stepfather showed his attitude by letting Huo Huaiwei live in the country. At least it can be used as a backing. "
He talked a lot.
Su Mingruan nodded from time to time.
She saw Zhou Jibei starting to pack his luggage.
Then he went to the main room and told him his plan to return to Beijing early.
Old Mrs. Xu Aihua was a little worried. She said, "When the due date comes, your aunt and I will go to visit together. Don't panic if you are alone there. If you feel lonely, let Wei Dong and Zhanxi go there!"
Su Mingruan nodded, she was very concerned about herself. You will never be embarrassed when it comes time to need your family to support you.
In this way, she took Huo Huaiwei and followed Zhou Jibei and left Xiaowang Village.
Rushed to Beijing again.
Sitting in the car, you can still see Su Qing's reluctant arm swinging in the rearview mirror.
Beijing City
Zhong Caiping searched around and got a lot of favors, and finally found the address of the Pei family.
She arranged her clothes and walked towards Pei's house.
