Only Su Qing slept peacefully. I don’t know how long it took, but someone called her in her ear,
"Qingqing wake up, it's time to get up."
Su Qing opened her eyes, and it took a few seconds to realize that she had really traveled to a three-year-old child and was not dreaming.
In the haze, she felt a pair of hands lifting her out of bed. It was her grandmother.
Zhu Xiuyun put on her clothes, shoes and socks, and carried her to the bathroom first. The bathroom was quite modern and she flushed immediately after using it.
Zhu Xiuyun took warm water from a basin and washed her face. Su Qing looked at her grandma with dark eyes, but she didn't see her mother.
Seeing the confusion in her granddaughter's eyes, Zhu Xiuyun said, "Your mother will ask her second uncle and the village chief to discuss the matter."
The Su family is an old family in Shanquan Village. Their ancestors have lived in the village for hundreds of years and have a high prestige in the village.
Otherwise, why would Su Jing become the village chief? Unfortunately, after his death, there was no one in the Su family who could shoulder the responsibility, so the village chief could only be given to someone else.
Even though a small village chief has little power, he still controls the whole village's food, drinks and toiletries.
The current village chief is Wu Youde. He is fairly fair, but he is not as shrewd as Su Jing. However, Shanquan Village is not a prosperous village. Wu Youde has no problem being the village chief.
Su Jing has a younger brother named Su Feng. Both of his two sons have not yet married. They are both honest people like Badajiao. They have a third-level talent as a space warrior and have not learned any special combat skills or body refining techniques.
People in the village don't have the money to go to higher education, so they just finish elementary classes in the town. It's not just about being blind and able to count. It's also good to go home and follow your parents to plant crops and go up to the mountains to hunt exotic beasts. Their ancestors didn't all come here like this.
Wu Youde and Su Feng were called over by Su Mingjuan to seek justice for her. They asked questions for a long time along the way, but the child didn't say what was going on and just cried.
At home, after Zhu Xiuyun washed Qingqing’s face, she returned to the living room and took out a few bags of nutritious batter from the refrigerator.
"What flavor does Qingqing eat? Pink radish, green is spinach, white is wheat, and yellow is corn."
Su Qing blinked, "What the hell, is this enough for breakfast?"
She still can't figure out the situation. Fortunately, her mother is busy grieving, and her grandmother doesn't have much contact with her, so she doesn't notice anything strange about her. It's better to observe secretly first and slowly understand the world.
I have always felt that my home is a bit weird, even if the things I use are normal and there is no language barrier,
She still felt something was wrong. Why should the food she eats be made into batter? Could it be food specially made for children?
She didn't say anything, just pointed to the yellow corn flavored one, and chose the safe one to try first. She never thought that breakfast would be in a bag, so just drink it as polenta!
Zhu Xiuyun opened the yellow nutritional paste, poured it into a bowl, and gave it to her.
Su Qing looked at the yellow liquid in the bowl, smelled it had no taste, and tried to take a sip. Oh my God! !
What does this feel like? It's like eating wood residue in your mouth. It smells a little like corn. It's incomparable to the corn she used to eat. Although it was also fertilized, is this really not the earth?
It took a lot of effort for Su Qing to swallow the mush, but he didn't want to drink the rest.
Seeing that she stopped drinking, Zhu Xiuyun persuaded her softly: "Qingqing, if you drink it almost completely, you won't be hungry anymore. Grandma will prepare something delicious for you in the evening."
Zhu Xiuyun knows that synthetic food is not delicious. When her husband was alive, her family could still eat energy food every day.
As the village chief, they have subsidies from the empire, and every time they go into the mountains, they gain something, so their family is not at a loss.
After her husband died, the family was immediately in dire straits. The money she had saved needed to be taken care of in the future. How could she be willing to spend it? She had to eat these things every day. The children would definitely not like to eat them.
Su Qing is not a child, so if she can be picky, doesn't it mean it's a bit unpalatable? As long as it fills your stomach, drink up the remaining polenta in one gulp.
Zhu Xiuyun wiped her mouth. When the courtyard door rang, someone came in. Su Qing turned around and looked.
Su Mingjuan walked into the house with two middle-aged men. It was the village chief Wu Youde and her uncle Su Feng.
Wu Youde asked anxiously before he sat down:
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing to me? You didn't even ask Mingjuan, you just kept crying. Did the Li family bully her again?"
Su Feng came in and called his sister-in-law, then sat on the chair without saying a word. He had a dull personality and was not good at words. He smiled and touched Su Qing's head.
Zhu Xiuyun's eyes suddenly turned red, "Village Chief, the Li family has bullied others too much. You must make the decision for me. Su Feng, we will go to the Li family to settle the accounts later. You call Su Ping and Su An to find justice for her sister. This We must not spare them lightly this time."
Wu Youde frowned and said, "Tell me clearly what's going on."
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. The Su family and the Li family are a mess. Mingjuan is willing to do it herself, but who is willing to stand up for her? A good daughter is bullied by a family of outsiders.
"The Li family is going back to Bichenxing, and Li Mubai is going to abandon Mingjuan and divorce her. I went to the Li family to make a scene last night, and I almost got angry to death from that shameless family.
If that's the case, then divorce is fine, but you can't make it easy for them and ask them to compensate my family Mingjuan for losing her youth over the years and working for their family. All the men in my family died for that beast Li Mubai. This family looks down upon them. Wolves are inhumane. "
After hearing this, Wu Youde felt angry.
"If this is the case, let's go. Let's go now. Shanquan Village is not like the Li family who can come and leave whenever they want."
Su Mingjuan was such a good girl. All the young men in the village were thinking about her, but she was snatched away by an outsider. His son has been angry about this for an unknown amount of time, and he still hasn't got a wife.
Even the languid Su Feng was angry. No one in the Li family could abuse people like this.
In the past, my niece seemed to have been brainwashed. She devoted herself to the Li family and even risked her eldest brother's life.
How could he not be angry? What else could he do if he had a mean-spirited niece? Those eyes were the lifeblood of his eldest brother, and he had been doted on since childhood.
Ask him to say that the child is spoiled, raised indiscriminately, selfish, and only cares about himself.
What he loves or hates can be eaten as food. In addition to being good-looking, the boy from the Li family is also a bit outstanding. When he thinks of his eldest brother's tragic death, his heart aches.
Just get divorced. The Su family is not that easy to bully. Don't even think about kicking them away after taking advantage of them.
"Sister-in-law, you go over first. I'll go home and call my baby's mother and Su Ping and Su An, and we'll go over together to settle the score with the Li family."
Su Feng thought that his wife was also capable of fighting, so she brought her to cheer her sister-in-law on. Zhang Liying, that unruly woman, was very capable of causing trouble.
Zhu Xiuyun picked up Su Qing, took her daughter and the village chief, and walked to the Li family. If the matter was not settled this time, the Li family would not be able to calm down. The divorce was not theirs.
The laws of the empire are very sound and comprehensively protect women and children. However, Mengyuexing is too remote and many villagers are legally illiterate. After all, Zhu Xiuyun is the village elder's wife and knows a little bit about the law.
She understands that as long as the woman insists on not getting divorced and still has children, the court will not order a divorce. Even if there is a divorce, the woman and the children must have a share of alimony.
Many men in the empire dare not divorce, mainly because they cannot afford alimony.
The Li family just bullies the people in the mountains who don't understand the law. Let them know today that they have kicked the iron bricks.
