Chapter 37: New Year's Eve
Because of Hu's care, Su Miao finally got rid of the fever at dusk, woke up dizzy after a day of sleep, looked at the sky, was a little worried about Su Chan and Su Yan, and walked out of the courtyard with a cotton jacket wrapped in a cotton jacket when Hu went to the kitchen to cook dinner. The stall should have been closed at this hour, Su Miao wanted to go to Changle Street to have a look, but when she walked to the entrance of the alley, she was worried that Su Chan and the others would be angry that she didn't trust them, and just as she was hesitating, Su Yan's voice came happily from a distance:
"Huh? Why is the second sister standing here? ”
"You're back!" Su Miao saw that they had returned safely, and she was overjoyed and greeted them.
"Naturally, it's because of blind care." Su Chan answered Su Yan's question coldly, pushed the cart over, and looked Su Miao up and down, "Did you run out of fever yet?" ”
"It's all right." Su Miao replied with a smile and asked, "How is it, are you still smooth today?" ”
"Big Brother sent two fruits, Sixth Brother Chen said that boiling water with green onions and white is the most effective way to deal with wind and cold, and Sister-in-law Man asked Brother Man Fu to bring a herring fish in the afternoon and let you cook soup to drink." Su Yan lifted the basket in his hand and said with a smile.
Su Miao was stunned, then smiled, the three sisters and brothers walked home, and when they reached the door, they saw Hu standing in front of the fence door with a rice spoon in his hand, and scolded Su Miao with a face:
"Don't look at why you ran away again for a moment, are you a wild cat, just run out to mess around when the fever subsides, what if it burns again, don't you go back to the house and drink the medicine, how old are you and people have to worry about it!"
Su Miao was caught red-handed and sneaked out of the door, replied "yes", and was about to go back to the house obediently, when a burst of wind and fire footsteps sounded, and Su Xian strode with a gloomy face. Her face when she returned from going out in the morning was even more ugly than when she had quarreled in the morning, and she was haggard in the iron blue, and there was some anxiety in her haggardness, as if she was full of worries. She walked until she reached the door until she looked up and found that her family members were standing outside the door, she was stunned, and then her face changed twice, and she tried her best to hide her discomfort, and she glanced at everyone's faces, shook her head, ignored everyone, and went straight back to her room, slamming the door.
Hu's face was ugly, obviously angry with Su Xian's attitude, but he didn't know what to scold, paused, angrily called Su Miao back to the room, turned around and went into the kitchen. Su Chan pursed the corners of her lips coldly, Su Yan drooped her head and was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered:
"It would be nice if the eldest sister also came to set up a stall with us......"
Su Miao fell silent, and now the whole family began to notice Su Xian's problem. When Su Dong was alive, because his father disciplined others, even if he didn't like Su Xian's indulgence, he didn't care much, and after Su Dong passed away, the family was short of rice and food, and they kept arguing with each other and didn't have the heart to pay attention to Su Xian, who lived too freely, and now, the money is steadily earning, and the relationship between the family is gradually easing, so Su Xian's problem is highlighted.
Su Xian's own meaning in the past should be that she wants to remarry, but she obviously already has someone she wants to remarry, what is going on with her and that Sun Yuanwai, if she is toyed with, she also met Sun Yuanwai's little girl to send Su Xian back a while ago, there should be no collapse, but why does Su Xian look more and more like a PR girl?
Although she wanted to ask, if she really asked, she would definitely be scolded by Su Xian, so she could only wait and see.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household is busy buying New Year's goods, and the villagers who have worked for a year have also returned to their hometowns, and the rest of the people are either waiting for the New Year or the New Year is approaching.
Due to the sharp decline in business, Su Miao no longer waited until dark, and closed the stall almost every day near dusk. Mrs. Su and Mrs. Hu are busy buying New Year's goods these days, although this is the first Spring Festival after Su Dong's death, the Su family wants to use this Spring Festival to flush the various haze caused by the bankruptcy of the restaurant and the death of Su Dong, both Hu and Mrs. Su are very positive about this Spring Festival.
At dusk, Su Miao took Su Chan's sister and brother home to collect the stall, and when she walked to the alley, she met Mrs. Su and Hu Shi coming back from shopping, and they were arguing while walking home. Seeing this, Su Yan became scared again, there are too many women and too strong families, no wonder he, the old man, is like this. Su Chan pursed her lips, and a touch of impatience flashed in her eyes.
Su Miao sighed sadly, threw the cart to Su Chan, and walked straight over to persuade peace. Now the only one in the family who is kind to Mrs. Su is Su Miao, the Hu family doesn't deal with her, Su Chan ignores her, Su Yan is afraid of her, not to mention Su Xian. Because she couldn't quarrel with the Hu family, Mrs. Su pulled Su Miao and aggrievedly accused the Hu family of spending money lavishly, and hinted that Su Miao would take away the Hu family's financial power and hand over the family to her to manage, which would be more reassuring.
Since Hu married Su Dong, because Su Dong is filial, the family has been managed by Mrs. Su, Hu has not even touched the money a few times, and when she heard the anger, she stabbed Mrs. Su with a gun and a stick from her liver, Mrs. Su was so angry that she almost cried in the middle of the road, Su Miao quickly took her home so as not to have another conversation after tea and dinner in Jixiang Lane.
Hu Shi was angry, so he didn't cook dinner, Su Miao had to go for dinner, Su Chan helped her choose dishes, and after a while, she frowned and said:
"Mother and grandmother are going to make trouble until the Year of the Monkey!"
"The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is inherently difficult, my mother used to have a wealthy family and studied, and my grandmother, as a mother-in-law, naturally wanted to suppress my daughter-in-law, and the two wanted to suppress each other from the beginning, how could they be friendly with such a motive, not to mention the matter of the eldest brother back then."
Su Chan was silent for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Living to the point where people feel pathetic when they see it, women are really boring!" ”
Su Miao was slightly stunned, glanced back at her, and said lightly: "An interesting life is lived out by yourself, regardless of men and women." ”
Su Chan was silent for a while, and snorted noncommittally.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Su Xian, who had not returned all night yesterday, rushed in from outside, wearing a peach-colored hundred butterflies and a floral silk skirt, with a choking smell of fat powder. She walked quickly to the water tank and scooped up a scoop of water and drank it in a big gulp, Su Miao was stunned, her eyes fell on her obviously swollen cheeks, she was slapped very hard, and there were still fingerprints left on it that did not fade!
Before she finished drinking a scoop of water, Su Xian suddenly felt nauseous, leaning against the root of the wall and spitting out, but only spit out the little water she had just drunk. Su Chan couldn't help frowning when she saw this, Su Miao looked at Su Xian, who was rarely not drunk but vomited, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
