Chapter 51 The New Son-in-Law Arrives
Xu Sui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll head over now."
After saying that, she turned around, waved to him, and headed towards the next room.
Not far away, Wang Yinhua, who was still perched on the wall, saw the two of them standing there whispering something, chatting and laughing. From their appearances, the two of them seemed quite well-matched.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Sneaking around, what does that mean?
The young man looked refined and handsome, but he was probably just a smooth talker who used his words to deceive his sweet girl and win her heart.
She's very familiar with this move.
Back then, she was a country girl who used this one trick to win over a good man, and then, using the same trick, she quickly found a second good man to marry after her eldest son's father died.
Unfortunately, both of these good men died young, leaving her to raise three children at a young age and bearing the stigma of being a widow who brings bad luck to her husbands.
Putting everything else aside, her two short-lived husbands were both handsome and capable city men.
If they were still alive, any one of them could probably provide a life of luxury for the mother and her two children.
The reason why her daughter is so beautiful is not only because she takes after her mother, but also because of her handsome father.
At this moment, Xu Sui had already run into the Xu family's courtyard.
As soon as she entered, she spotted Wang Yinhua still clinging to the wall.
"Mom, why are you still lying up there? Come down, it's dangerous up there."
"What's dangerous? Your mom is a great wall climber, nothing will happen." Wang Yinhua waved her hand and easily jumped down from above.
She's clearly over forty, but looks like she's in her thirties. Even though she's been suffering from famine in recent years, which has made her look thinner and her skin sallow, she's not in good health.
Overall, Wang Yinhua is definitely a great beauty. Now she is over forty years old, has a grandson, and has been widowed twice, but there are still men who want to marry her.
Of the entire family, only Xu Sui looked the most like her, and she was also the most beautiful one in the family, so she doted on this daughter since she was a child.
"Wait here, Mom will make you something delicious."
"Hey, where's Yunzhou? Didn't we send him with you? Why did he go back?"
Xu Sui stepped forward and affectionately took her mother's arm. "He and I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Mom, don't worry about it. We'll come back to see you when we get back."
"By the way, why didn't you go to queue up at the grain station today?"
At this time of year, Wang Yinhua would lead her whole family to queue at the grain station.
"Your older brother took your younger brother with him. They're enough. I took the day off today and stayed home to wait for you to come over."
Although it had only been two or three months since she last saw her daughter, her daughter had never left her side since she was a child, and she had missed her for a long time.
When she learned that her daughter was coming back a few days ago, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several nights.
Xu Sui glanced around the room. "Is my sister-in-law not here?"
"She's not here. She went to work. She's now taking over the job you gave to your brother and is working as a temporary worker at the textile factory."
Speaking of this, Wang Yinhua felt somewhat uncomfortable, and her expression turned rather unpleasant.
"You have no idea, now that your older brother has married a wife, he's like a completely different person. He's got a lot of cunning, and he uses it all on me, his own mother."
"He secretly gave the job to his wife without telling me at all. I paid for the job, but they were always wary of me until I found out and they couldn't hide it anymore, so they told me about it."
"Who wouldn't get angry in this situation?"
Xu Sui quickly remembered this matter.
Originally, only her mother had a job in the entire Xu family. She was a full-time employee at a textile factory, earning 28 yuan a month. This job was to take over from the original owner's deceased father.
half year ago.
Wang Yinhua saved up some money and used it to get a temporary job, planning to arrange for the original owner to work with her in the textile factory.
However, the original owner wanted to go to the performing arts troupe, but she refused and gave the job opportunity to her older brother, He Quan.
Her older brother and she don't have the same father, but they've always had a good relationship since they were little.
Unexpectedly, my older brother secretly gave the job to my sister-in-law without my mother's knowledge. No wonder my mother was so angry.
Xu Sui changed the subject, "Mom, don't be angry."
"In the end, this job is still in the hands of our own family. As long as my brother and sister-in-law live a good life, it doesn't matter who gets the job."
"Yunzhou is still waiting for me. We'll go out first and then come to see you later."
That's what she said, but the thought of her son, whom she had raised with such difficulty, being so wary of her still made Wang Yinhua feel sad. She sighed and said, "You can go now."
"Mom is waiting for you to come over at home."
Xu Sui took Wang Yinhua's hand and patted it gently. "Mom, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, go ahead." The young couple had just gotten married and were deeply in love. Wang Yinhua, having been through it all, understood.
After leaving the Xu family.
Xu Sui immediately saw the tall man standing at the door. He had changed into a white shirt and green military pants. He was refined, handsome, tall and dashing. Even with a cane, his figure was still outstanding.
Behind him followed a boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, tall and thin, and looked very shy.
Upon seeing Xu Sui, the boy greeted her obediently, "Sister Sui Sui, Brother Yun Zhou, let me help you carry your things."
Xu Sui subconsciously looked at Qin Yunzhou.
Qin Yunzhou nodded, "My leg is not very convenient, so it's not really appropriate for you to carry things by yourself later."
"It just so happens that Xiao Feng next door is free, so I asked him to go with me."
Xiao Feng quickly said, "Sister Sui Sui, don't worry, I have plenty of strength. No matter how much you buy, I can carry it all for you."
Yunzhou said it.
He'll give you a dollar if you help him out.
He's still two yuan short of tuition for next semester. With this one yuan, he won't have to risk going to the black market.
Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, but quickly guessed that Qin Yunzhou must have given Xiao Feng some benefit to make him so enthusiastic.
She smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Feng."
Xiao Feng is an orphan; his parents have passed away, and he has been living with his uncle and aunt.
His uncle and aunt weren't bad people, but their family was poor and had many children. In those days, there was a famine, and they were biased towards their own children, making it very difficult for Xiao Feng to go to school.
However, she had vaguely seen that this child was connected to the black market.
Soon, the three arrived at a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
Xu Sui looked around and noticed that the sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperative looked slightly better than the others, but some of them were still pale, thin, and listless.
There were hardly any people in the supply and marketing cooperative, and food was scarce; things like eggs were practically nonexistent.
Qin Yunzhou handed a wallet to Xu Sui, "You take care of picking things out, Xiao Feng will help you carry them from behind."
"Buy some health supplements, like malted milk powder. Also, get two portions, one for your parents too, and just say you bought them."
"If you don't have enough money, come to me for more."
Xu Sui took the wallet and examined it closely. She was surprised to find that it contained quite a lot of money.
It's all 100-yuan notes; judging by its thickness, it must be at least a hundred yuan.
There were also quite a few colorful tickets, including a considerable number of cloth tickets.
