Now that people have been let in, they can only walk around.
The family's thoughts were spinning. The door of Su Xiuer's bedroom in the main room opened, and the woman walked out. She was wearing the coarse cloth dress that Su Xiuer wore every day.
The two were of similar stature, but the woman was obviously slimmer, and her dress was a little empty on her body.
After a little tidying up, the woman's face was revealed. She was only in her twenties and had a good-looking face. However, her cheeks were thin and her complexion was sallow, showing the unsatisfactory life everywhere.
Walking to the main room, facing everyone in the Su family, the woman suddenly knelt down and said, "This little woman is the second wife of the Su family in Tunan Village. She shamelessly came here today to get married. Please help me!"
Old woman Su and old man Su looked at each other and understood.
No wonder the other party calls out the old man's name when he comes to the door.
This is the Su family's plan to take advantage of their family again.
"Get up and talk. The ground is full of mud and water. It's very dirty. Don't make your clean clothes wet again." Old woman Su gave her husband a hard look.
Old man Su turned his head silently.
Liu Yuelan exchanged glances with He Daxiang, and when the woman was about to speak, she hugged the little baby to her, "Is this your child? Maybe it was raining and cold, and the child has a fever. What's going on in such a heavy rain day? Are you going out with your child? If your child suffers, you, as a mother, will also feel bad."
Liu Yuelan is handsome and speaks in a soft voice, which will not make people feel disgusted in her ears.
But the meaning behind her words was clear. The child was soaked like this, and the mother changed her clothes and came out without even looking at her without first expressing concern. How could she be a mother?
There was something unnatural in the woman's eyes.
Liu Yuelan just pretended not to see it.
She has a good temper and has always been kind to others, but this woman's behavior really makes people unfavorable. There are many children who have died due to cold and fever. What's more, this is a place of exile, and there is no place to see a doctor if the child is sick.
She was even more disgusted with the strange Su family.
The weather in the Da Su family sent two mothers to the house, one was a frail woman and the other was an ignorant child. It was certain that the Xiao Su family was cruel enough to close the door to the women and children, and they were playing tricks on them.
Little Lu felt that her reaction was wrong, and because the child was burning in her arms and her face was red, she started to cry in a panic, "Yier, Yi'er? It's your mother's fault. She shouldn't have brought you out together, ugh— —”
How can I not feel sorry for the child I gave birth to?
But she had no choice.
Old Madam Su looked at the woman weeping and sighed, "My daughter went to borrow some ginger. She may not be able to borrow it. Children who catch colds and fevers should not be taken lightly... What your Su family did is really, really embarrassing." People look down on you. Stop crying now. What's the point of crying? It's more important to take care of the children first."
He Daxiang is also a mother, and she hates this kind of scene. "Mom, I'm going to boil a pot of hot water. I'll let the baby take a hot bath to cover his sweat later. Maybe it will be useful."
There was a woman sitting in the hall. Su Er consciously avoided suspicion and didn't come in again. It was raining heavily outside, so he went to the kitchen with his wife.
Old man Su was glared hard by his wife. He felt guilty and stood up with a slight cough. "Hai Ta Nai, I'll go outside to see if the boss and the others are back, cough."
Old woman Su grinded her teeth secretly, "Go ahead, there's no use staying here."
"..." The old man slipped away faster.
The old couple has been married for decades, how can he not hear his wife getting angry?
For a while, only Mrs. Su, Liu Yuelan and four little ones were left in the main room, facing the tearful woman.
"Yier actually felt uncomfortable when he didn't go out, and I didn't want to take him out with me, but I really couldn't help it." Xiao Lu lowered her eyes and sobbed, "The situation at home is in a mess right now, and the old lady has no time for him to take care of her, so she sent me away. Come here, how dare I, a little woman, not respond?"
Old woman Su looked at the baby with a red face in her arms and said nothing.
The mother-in-law didn't speak, and Liu Yuelan didn't make a sound either. She just helped look after the three naughty boys.
Tianbao blinked in Grandma's arms, she was well-behaved and quiet. She most likes to listen to adults chatting and listening to stories.
"Auntie should know about Wanjiazhuang. Previously, that villager sent people to your house to cause trouble, but you guys beat him back. Wanjiazhuang felt that he had been humiliated, and he has been holding a grudge since then, and he couldn't do anything to you, so he was full of anger. It was sprinkled on our family.”
"It was because of this that Mr. Dafang was taken to the village. He was beaten all over and thrown back. His leg bones were broken. He lay in bed and woke up in and out of consciousness. The old lady almost went blind from crying."
"You probably know that being a sharecropper is not a life for people at all. The family now has no money or food. Dozens of people tighten their belts every day to survive. The eldest brother was beaten like this again. It really makes things worse. . If it wasn’t that we couldn’t hold on any longer, the old lady wouldn’t have sent anyone over again.”
"In the past, when our family was in good times, the eldest master had to take up a post in the capital. He was busy with official matters all day long and neglected many of his relatives at home. This matter is indeed caused by the negligence of our Su family. No wonder you are complaining. Really. There was nothing we could do, we really had nothing to do, so we shamelessly visited the house twice. If my uncles and aunts were not willing to understand and help, our family of dozens of people might not be able to survive this summer."
The woman talked while crying, listening to the ramblings, detailed and lengthy.
Tianbao yawned a little, his eyes were dull, and he quickly lost interest in the story.
She didn't know why, but she felt very interesting listening to her grandpa and grandma talking to the people around her, but she felt like dozing off when listening to little Lu's talk.
It's docile and doesn't sound good.
She still prefers to hear "your uncle", "fuck you" and "fuck grandma".
"Na, na, play." Yawned again, Tianbao scratched the old woman's clothes with his little hands, and raised his little face with envy.
She suddenly spoke, and the woman's words were interrupted. She sat there a little embarrassed, and at the same time, her eyes looking at Tianbao became more surprised and inquisitive, "Auntie, your little granddaughter doesn't look very big, but she can Have you learned how to speak?"
Tianbao frowned, "Big!"
Old woman Su couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, our sweet baby is not young. My brothers were not as fleshy as you for more than eight months!"
She couldn't help but kiss her granddaughter's little cheek. She was really smart. She knew that grandma was impatient, so she came to save grandma from her misery.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she spoke to Xiao Lu and said, "You are right about what you just said. The Su family has a high-ranking official, Guangzong Yaozu, and it has indeed neglected many distant relatives. Our Xiao Su family has never had any contact with your family. If it was just that, we wouldn't care. Our family has survived well whether we benefited from it or not. But when your Su family prospered, we didn't benefit from it. When you were unlucky, we had to be unlucky with you. Again. A generous person will never be careless."
She paused and then said, "It's enough to say these things once. Besides, if you come to ask for help, what can our family do for you? Mrs. Su asked you to come. Could it be that she wants our family to give you money and food?"
