Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
Her parents-in-law and sister-in-law werent at home. Only Jinfeng was there, looking after her younger brother Jindan. The siblings hadnt dared to leave the house for the past few days. Every time they went out, they were beaten up. The friends who used to play with the two of them ignored them and could only hide at home in the end. When they were hungry, they ate leftover steamed buns. When they were thirsty, they drank cold water.
When Su Xuefang returned, the two of them were hugging Su Xuefangs thighs and cried loudly.
Arent your parents-in-law taking care of them? What happened? Your parents-in-law were also arrested?
Theywerent. Su Xuefang lowered her head guiltily.
She Imew that her parents did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with her in-laws and did not like each other. They were all arrested when something happened at home, but her in-laws went to her Big brothers house to help take care of them and ignored Jinfeng and Jindan.
However, she believed that her in-laws must have had their reasons. They had treated her so well over the years. Jinfeng and Jindan were their grandchildren. How could they not care?
Then why did you leave the two children at home? And what about your sister-in-law? Usually, when she coaxed you to ask for things, wasnt she very attentive?
They must have been delayed by something. I believe they didnt do it on purpose.
At this time, Su Xuefang was still like a lost soul, irritating Ma Xiulan and she gritted her teeth.
Alright, lets get the kids something to eat first.
Okay!
The two quickly prepared some food. Since Su Dachun was waiting outside and refused to come in, Ma Xiulan couldnt let the old man wait outside for too long. While she was busy, she advised her with concern, Your father doesnt even want to enter your house now.
My father is biased. Su Xuefang didnt even dare to let out a fart in front of Su Dachun. Now, she angrily criticized him behind his back, Hes never been nice to me since I was young. Now that my husband has been arrested, hell
definitely despise me even more. Its good that you know.
Im not convinced. Mom, help me.
How do you want me to help you?
Su Xuefang didnt feel embarra.s.sed at all. She reached out her hand directly.
Lend me some money. I cant live on anymore. Tian Yong was also arrested. What if he cant be released and Ill need to take care of the two children alone?
Do you regret it now?
Im not regretting anything. I just hate it. Its all Su Wens fault. She cant bear to see me doing well and caused my familys downfall.
How much do you need? Ma Xiulan asked straightforwardly.
She had long known what kind of person her daughter was. Every time she asked for money over the years, not a single penny had been repaid.
What did you say? Say that again? Ma Xiulan thought that she had misheard. Youre asking me for 100 yuan. Where do you have the face? Even if I took out my retirement savings, I wouldnt have it.
Mom, Im not asking you to give it to me. I want you to ask Su Wen for it. Are you saying that Su Wen has money? Where did she get the money?
You dont know. Su Wen is rich now. Su Xuefangs eyes reddened with excitement. She explained everything she had heard and her own speculations to Ma Xiulan. Even Ma Xiulan, who hated Su Wen, was stunned.
Youre saying she has two bicycles? A sewing machine? Ma Xiulan asked incredulously, her hands trembling.
Thats right. Think about it. Isnt she rich now?
Fine, I got it.
Ma Xiulans puffy eyes flashed with a hint of scheming, and she quickly came up with a plan. At that moment, she didnt say much more to Su Xuefang and hurriedly left with Su Dachun to return to Trinity village..
