Chapter 80： Mother-in-law

"Mom, I want to... go see my mother-in-law." Su Jingxi hesitated for a long time, but still said it.

"Mother-in-law? Which mother-in-law?" To make Xiaoxi so embarrassed, she might be on the side of Xu Qianqian.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law Xiaoxi said was Xu Qianqian's mother, who was Xiaoxi's original grandmother. No wonder Xiaoxi hesitated so much.

"sure."

In fact, she is pregnant early now, which is unfair to Xiaoxi. She was replaced by Xu Qianqian when she was born. Not long after she returned home, her biological mother remarried and gave birth to a child, but she already had a child, so she couldn’t be spared.

Su Man is very guilty of Xiaoxi, the more he treats her better, this child is behaving, as long as she proposes things, Su Man will agree, not to mention Xiaoxi said so, it must be the old lady who treated her well, otherwise she would not Will want to visit mother-in-law.

"Thank you mom." Su Jingxi smiled slightly, realizing that Su Man really didn't care, and let go and said: "When I was young, my mother-in-law came to the city to take me. Later, I went to school. During the summer vacation, she would also Take the mother-in-law over and take care of us. As long as the mother-in-law is there, I can eat during that time, and the mother-in-law will make clothes and shoes for me. I know that she is really good to me."

When investigating Xu Qianqian, of course her family will be investigated. Xu Qianqian was born in a relatively remote mountain village. Both her parents are farming at home. Her mother is a mute. She was sold to Xu's family and has no status at home.

Xu Qianqian has two older sisters, one older brother and one younger brother. The two older sisters did not graduate from elementary school and helped out at home. When they were old, they received a gift to marry. Xu Qianqian was relatively young. When she was born, her family was a little richer. She looked pretty, had good grades, and was good at talking. Her father agreed to go to high school. He wanted to buy something. If you can find someone from the city, you can help your brother and brother. Who ever wanted The daughter ran away with a man.

Xu Qianqian’s two older sisters, Su Man, were married in a neighboring village and had their faces on the loess and back to the sky. That’s it. The situation of her two brothers is also simple. Her brother Xu Qiang refused to go to school after graduating from junior high school, but would learn from his cousin. For painting, I found a wife from the same village. I am now working as a painter in my hometown. I will pick up the goods and rest when I don’t have a job. Nowadays, many houses are built in the countryside. The husband and wife work hard, and they can earn 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a year. It’s pretty good over there. My younger brother Xu Jun has gone to college. He describes himself as a scholar. He never helps with farming at home. He still looks down on his family. After graduating from college, Xu Qianqian is still helping in Yuecheng. I got a job, more than 5,000 yuan a month. I can’t save money if I get rid of food. I’m 29 years old this year. I just got married last year. I married a girl from their town. She said she was running on both sides. Anyway, if you go back to your hometown, you won’t go back to the country.

Except for Xu Qianqian, the rest of the family are ordinary people, so Su Man never angered her family, so he just sent Xu Qianqian in.

"Why do you suddenly want to see Granny Xu?" Su Man's stomach slowly rose. The mountain road was too steep to accompany her, so she could only ask Uncle Liu to follow.

"I was dreaming of my mother-in-law a few days ago." Su Jingxi squeezed her finger. She didn't specifically say what she was dreaming about. Just by looking at her expression, she knew it was not a good dream.

Su Man didn't ask any questions, and the gifts that people packed up for the visit just happened to have a lot of supplements in the house that no one took, and they just brought them as gifts.

“It’s best if you can come back tomorrow night. If you can’t come back in time, please come back on Sunday. This is your bank card, the password is your birthday, and you also bring the cash. If you go to the countryside, I’m afraid you will have to use cash.” Su Man took out an envelope, "The cash here is also for Granny Xu. After you give it to her, if she refuses to ask for it, just leave it in a place where she will flip it when you leave."

In fact, Su Jingxi prepared a red envelope herself. Since she returned to Su’s house, Su Jianming has made up the red envelope before. So did Su Man. In addition, she had her birthday last year. It’s a trivial thing to give a red envelope.

As soon as Xiaoxi left, Chengcheng's whole person was wilted. She didn't feel that when she was gone, she found out that she had such a deep relationship with her sister.

"Blood is thicker than water, so naturally it is different." Su Jianming is happy that the two children have a good relationship.

On the other side, after a seven-hour trek, Su Jingxi finally came to Sidu Township in Annan County. After arriving here, he has not reached his destination. If in previous years, he would have to climb the mountain and climb over two mountains to get there. Now the policy is good. There is a road to the village, but the road is very narrow and it is not possible to deliver cars at all. If you are unlucky and there is a car on the opposite side, you can only give way to one side and retreat to a slightly wider place to stop and wait for the opposite car. Drive over before leaving.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the village who have cars. They are usually motorcycles or tricycles. Su Jingxi's car ran smoothly all the way to the village and encountered two cows on the way.

In fact, Su Jingxi came here once. If she was allowed to come by herself, she couldn’t find a place at all. She was trying to find someone to find out how to get to Xu’s family. When she saw Uncle Liu came to the familiar courtyard, she didn’t have time to wonder why Uncle Liu knew Xu. At home, I saw a familiar old man feeding chickens in the yard with a basin.

"Mother-in-law."

Hearing the sound, the old man turned his head and saw Su Jingxi smile suddenly, beckoning Su Jingxi to come in quickly.

"Mother-in-law, you are the only one at home?" This yard was built by old man Xu with the gift of his two daughters. There are three rooms in total. The front of the courtyard is the lobby and the kitchen, and the back is the room where the old couple lives by themselves. , As for the daughter, the family didn't keep their room at all. When they came back, they would make do with them or the children for one night.

The mother-in-law pointed to the back mountain, which meant that they had all gone up the mountain, and curiously looked at the few people outside the courtyard, pointed carefully at them, and asked who Su Jingxi was.

"They are my mother's...friends." Su Jingxi mainly had a nightmare. In short, the dream was very bad, so I wanted to come to see her mother-in-law. Now I see her old man is in good health. I didn't want to stay for too long. The rest of the Xu family She didn't want to see him at all, "Mother-in-law, I just came to see you. It's good if you are healthy. I still have class tomorrow. I have to hurry back tonight. I will see you later."

Of the many gifts that Su Man prepared, Su Jingxi only took out two of them, the most common of them, and then stuffed a red envelope into her mother-in-law’s clothes, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, this is my little heart. Maybe you were kind to me because I am your granddaughter, but you are the only person who was good to me in those years, I will never forget, keep this for yourself, buy anything you want to buy secretly, don’t let the old man know, I’m leaving, You take good care of your body."

The reason why I didn’t take out so many things was because no matter how much I took, they couldn’t get into the belly of the mother-in-law. Then why should I make the rest of the Xu family cheaper instead of using the envelope given by Su Man? Because Su Jingxi felt that there was too much money. I have seen that the first 20,000 cash there may be a bag of money for my mother, but for an old lady in the country, she may not be able to save so much in her lifetime. Giving so much will definitely scare her, and it is too Too much is not a good thing for the mother-in-law, it is better to give a few thousand dollars, she thinks it is too much.

He didn't enter the hall or gave her mother-in-law time to refuse. After speaking, Su Jingxi turned and left.

"Let's go." Su Jingxi turned around and waved goodbye to her mother-in-law. He met her and knew she was fine.

Suddenly a very expensive car came to the village. It attracted the attention of others early. It was seen stopping at Xu Qiang’s house. Some people were watching from a distance. Some people pretended not to come by and wanted to see what was going on. As soon as he arrived, the owner was about to leave.

The mother-in-law didn't even have time to put down the pot, and chased it out after a trot. She could only see the bottom of the car. She couldn't talk, and she couldn't even call Su Jingxi to stay and eat.

"Mr. Xu, who was it just now? Did Qianqian come back?" the woman who approached asked.

The mother-in-law waved her hand to indicate that it was not Xu Qianqian who came back, and then she was ready to go in with a lonely expression.

Of course not. There was something new in the village. How could it be missed so much. The woman and an old lady who came later followed in and kept asking who came. When they saw the gifts in the yard, their eyes brightened.

"Yeah, this is from the person just now? What is it? It's very expensive just looking at the packaging."

"It must be expensive, mother-in-law, don’t hide it. Did Qianqian come back with her boyfriend, mother-in-law, did Qianqian get married? Or is she ready to get married? I tell you, we have to put wine on our side too. By the way, does Li Er's family at the head of the village know? His daughter married in the county seat and received 180,000 gifts. How could your family Qianqian be less than her?"

The mother-in-law touched her chest and did not say a word. She carried her things into the hall. Seeing the others followed in, she waved her hand to indicate that she didn't know, and then asked them to go back quickly.

Seeing that the mother-in-law was unwilling to admit it, they turned their mouths and left, and then turned to the village to hear that Xu Qianqian came back with a man. The man was old enough to be her father, so the Xu family disagreed. There is no way. Put down the gift and leave first. Propose marriage.

"Qianqian is back?" Before Xu Qiang got home, he heard Xu Qianqian two men coming back. One was the object, and the other should be the man's father. He came to propose marriage. I didn't know what he said to her mother-in-law and left unhappy. .

"Ah." The mother-in-law shook her head, thought for a while, took out a photo album from the room, turned out Xiaoxi's childhood photos and pointed them to Xu Qiang.

"Xiaoqi is back? She is alone?" How old is Xu Xiaoqi, how can she come back alone.

The mother-in-law shook her head again, made a three-step gesture, and then told Xu Qiang that the other two men were taller than him, then poked the present, looked around cautiously, took out a red envelope from her arms and opened it. A stack of renminbi, almost five thousand yuan, the mother-in-law pointed to Xiaoqi's photo, indicating that it was given by Xiaoqi.

This makes people wonder. Xu Qianqian did not come back by herself, so she asked her daughter to come back with the two men. She heard that she was still driving a very expensive car. She didn’t see them when she came back. She brought some gifts and gave the old woman a sum of money. I'm leaving now. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

"I see, you put this away, don't let Dad know." Xu Qiang has saved a lot of money in the past few years, and he really can't look down on the five thousand dollars. Compared with his arbitrary father, he will naturally tend to be weaker. His mother helped conceal his father and asked her mother-in-law to collect the money.

The mother-in-law put it away worriedly, she made a lot of gestures, probably meaning that she suspected that something was wrong with Qianqian, and then sighed a long, even if she was worried, she was illiterate, and only knew what Qianqian was in Yuecheng. She couldn't find the address without her.

"I'm back." Su Man didn't sleep after receiving a call from Uncle Liu. She didn't get home until about eleven o'clock. She was almost asleep leaning on the sofa.

"Mom, you don't have to wait for me." Su Jingxi hurriedly came to help Su Man, "Mom, you go back to the house and rest. When you are home, do you need to worry about me?"

"You go to the bath, I will ask someone to make a bowl of noodles for you, and I will eat some noodles with you." Su Man has been hungry recently and will eat something at night. It just so happens that Xiaoxi should not have enough to eat at night. Can talk.

Xiaoxi quickly took a bath, changed clothes, and saw Su Man pursed her mouth and smiled: "Mom, I just had a nightmare, and I am going to see my mother-in-law. Don't you think I'm headstrong?"

"What is capricious? Mom thinks you are too sensible." Su Man touched Su Jingxi's head. "With mom, you can make any request. Whether I agree or not, the purpose is to love you."

Su Jingxi nodded like understanding, lowered his head, and a happy smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
