Su Mingjuan didn't care what her mother said and kept crying. Even now she can't believe that her brother Mubai, whom she grew up with, doesn't want her anymore. Her heart hurts like a knife.
Su Qing silently looked at the mother and daughter. As expected, when she came to question them, she was humiliated and kicked out.
When Zhu Xiuyun turned around and saw her little granddaughter's big dark eyes, she immediately shed tears.
"Mingjuan, why are you crying about this beast of a family? You've woken up all the children. Go to bed quickly. Call your superiors tomorrow morning and let's go to the Li family to settle the accounts together."
Su Mingjuan glanced at her little daughter, wiped her tears, and went to bed obediently, but she couldn't sleep there.
She recalled everything she had with her husband in her heart, but she didn't believe it. He kept saying that he loved her forever.
The man she wanted to marry even if she had a falling out with her parents wanted to abandon her.
Qingqing Changhe is very similar to Mubai, with the same eyebrows, eyes and skin. How much she loved in the past, she now hates him as much as she did. Biting her lower lip, her mind was in a mess as one scene after another flashed through her mind.
Ten-year-old Su Mingjuan was stunned when she first saw Li Mubai. Her father asked her to call her brother Mubai.
The charming Su Mingjuan had never seen such a gentle and handsome boy like Li Mubai, with fair skin and neat clothes, sitting there with his mouth curled and his eyes shining with pride and disdain.
After that day, the Li family and his wife came to Su's house every day, flattering her father so that they could take care of their family and arrange easy jobs for them.
The Li family was exiled to Meng Yuexing, and they didn't bring much with them when they came. Her father saw that the family really didn't know how to do village work, so he had to take care of them a little.
She followed Li Mubai every day and liked everything about him. In the blink of an eye, a few years passed and they both grew up.
Li Quanzhong and Zhang Liying were afraid that their youngest son would not be able to find a wife, so they decided to pursue Su Mingjuan.
Li Mubai was pampered by his parents and grew up. Even if the whole family was exiled, it was the adults who suffered and everyone took care of him.
As he grew up, he developed a lazy personality. He was not as capable as his nephew when it came to working with grains, regardless of limbs.
Although she has a handsome face, it is a pity that no family in Shanquan Village will marry their daughter to a man who relies entirely on others to support her.
Su Mingjuan is the only daughter of the village chief Su Jing. She is beautiful, has a simple personality, and can do a lot of work.
He takes care of the planting fields at home, goes to the mountains to dig herbs, and catches exotic animals. He is proficient in everything. He is the object of admiration among the young men in the village.
If Li Mubai married Su Mingjuan, the Li family would feel relieved, and they would send their youngest son to Su Mingjuan every day to pursue her.
Although Li Mubai is easy-going and lazy, he is sweet-tongued and can say nice things. He grew up with Su Mingjuan and the two of them have a good relationship.
In addition, he also knew that he could not go back to his previous home, so he could only accept his fate and marry a village girl as his wife. Su Mingjuan was nothing in a big city, but she was a beautiful village girl in Shanquan Village.
Li Mubai launched a love offensive, and Su Mingjuan immediately surrendered. When her father found out, it was too late to object, so Zhu Xiuyun and Village Chief Su persuaded her with heartfelt words.
It also makes no sense for her daughter's heart that is so overwhelmed by love.
"Daughter, the Li family is not from the same family as us. Although they are down and out, they are full of arrogance and look at others through their nostrils. Besides, Zhang Liying has a big temper and is unruly. You are also mild-tempered. How can you live under the hands of such a mother-in-law? "
Su Mingjuan pursed her lips.
"Mom, Aunt Zhang, it's not good for you to say that. Every time I go to her house, she treats me very well. And let me tell you, Mu Bai said that the Li family is very wealthy. When he comes to our place, his father will take care of me." He bought a lot of valuable things, and when we get married, we will separate the family and let us live alone,"
Zhu Xiuyun looked at her daughter, whose face was full of longing for the future, and knew that it was useless to say anything.
It's okay if the young couple can go out and live alone. As long as they are here and help each other, they can live a good life.
Village Chief Su had an ugly expression on his face, and without looking at his daughter, he said seriously:
"You have to marry Li Mubai. You will no longer be my daughter. You will die of exhaustion, starvation, and bullying by your husband's family. We will not stand up for you. Even if we tell you that it is not suitable for you, you insist on marrying. Don't regret it in the future, Dad. Mom raised you so much, how could she harm you? If you don’t obey me, just leave.”
Zhu Xiuyun exclaimed, "Old man, we only have one daughter, Mingjuan, just promise your father, don't think about Mu Bai, and let's find a good young man."
This is the last chance that Village Chief Su gives his daughter. When the child has grown up, he or she cannot realize that parents love their children deeply. Disobedience to parents is like stabbing parents in the heart.
He wanted to see which one was more important, his parents or that smooth-talking boy.
What kind of character the Li family has, he has already demonstrated it in the past ten years.
"Mom and Dad, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial. I like Mu Bai and want to live with him. I can't live without him."
Su Mingjuan's pretty face was reddish, wrinkled together, her eyes were filled with lust, she didn't believe her parents didn't want her anymore.
Village Chief Su covered his heart, which had hurt since childhood. The treasure he held in his hand really stabbed him hard.
"Then get out, I'm not a shameless daughter like you who doesn't care about her parents."
"Her dad!!" Zhu Xiuyun grabbed her husband's arm and said,
Village Chief Su pushed his wife away, stretched out his hand and scolded her harshly,
"If you don't want your parents for such a thing that is not a man, just get out of here. Our Su family is not as ignorant as you, a daughter who doesn't want her parents for a man."
Su Mingjuan was also frightened by her father's angry rebuke, but remembering what Aunt Zhang said, she plucked up the courage. She and Brother Mubai truly loved each other, and they would be filial to their parents together in the future.
Seeing that no matter what she said or how much she begged, her father would not agree to her marriage to Mu Bai, and even cursed her, tears of grievance flowed down her face, and she burst into tears and ran out of the house.
"Hey, Mingjuan, Mingjuan, don't run away." Zhu Xiuyun chased her out.
"Come back here. From today on, we will pretend that we never gave birth to her. There will be a day when she regrets it."
Village Chief Su roared, covering his heart, and burst into tears. As a man, he rarely sheds tears, but he had long foreseen his daughter's tragic ending.
He has been working as a cow and horse for the Li family all his life to support them. How can he not feel sorry for his daughter who has been precious to him for twenty years?
Su Mingjuan insisted on marrying Li Mubai despite her parents' opposition, and she completely fell out with her parents.
The Su family and the Li family stopped talking. Zhang Liying thought that it would be fine if Village Chief Su was angry for a while. Mu Bai would definitely take better care of their family if he married Su Mingjuan.
Unexpectedly, his calculation was wrong. Village Chief Su broke off the relationship with his daughter and hated the Li family even more.
In the past, they had no care at all. They went to the mountains to collect herbs and catch exotic animals. The Li family couldn't shirk it. If they couldn't complete the task, they would get very little food and they wouldn't be able to eat enough.
This caused the Li family to complain incessantly. The eldest son Li Muyun and his wife Lin Fang saw this situation and took the opportunity to make a fuss about separating the family.
In the end, Li Muyun and his wife got their wish and went out to live alone, while the old couple lived with their younger son.
