Chapter 45: A quarrel
I took the medicine at noon, and in the afternoon the old lady slowly woke up, and the whole family was completely relieved, and they all went to ask for warmth, and the old lady's face was much better, and she was very happy to see that everyone cared about her.
"Mother, what do you want to eat? I'll do it for you in the evening, you need to take care of your body. Xie Wanjun saw that Mrs. Su was still very weak, so she stepped forward to ask, wanting to give more care.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Xie Wanjun very gratefully, took her delicate jade hand, and slowly opened and closed her shriveled lips, "Anything, I can't eat much, my old woman is very happy to have you care about me so much." She was telling the truth, and she knew that her family was not rich, and she must have spent a lot of money on this medical treatment, but she didn't want to ask, and it was useless to ask, and it would only increase her troubles.
"Alright, you can recuperate, I should go cook." The Zhao family pretended to be sick and couldn't come out, Xie Wanjun had no choice but to cook and boil medicine by herself, she didn't complain, and she didn't compare with the woman.
It's just that the family's money is tight, and she has just spent a lot of money, and now her life has to be simpler, Xie Wanjun was busy for a while before she came up with a few vegetarian dishes, which were quite delicious after her cooking.
"Your cooking skills are really top-notch, it's delicious!" Su Qingqiao happily teased his wife, and wanted to be more grateful for everything she had done for the family.
When the rest of the people saw this, they were not in a very good mood, and they all understood the current situation of the family, but there was no better way to solve it.
When everyone was eating, few people spoke, and no one went to greet the troublesome Zhao, and now the family doesn't treat her very well.
Zhao still didn't get up, he felt wronged, he wanted to pretend to be sick, pretend to be pitiful, and want to win everyone's sympathy, but his beaten face was still swollen, and he was still resentful of his husband.
Su Qing worked hard to pick up vegetables for Xie Wanjun, feeling that she was very hard, and wanted to try her best to express her feelings, but she was all in Xie Wanjun's eyes, but she had always cared about Mrs. Su, but Mrs. Su was sick and couldn't eat much at all, just ate a few bites, and then got off the table, still coughing constantly.
Su Youshan glanced at his son Su Dong a few times and wanted him to call his wife over for dinner, but Su Dong didn't pay attention to those at all, just ate for himself, and was still angry with the uncompetitive wife in his heart.
Looking at this embarrassing atmosphere, Su Qing looked at his sensible wife again, "Eat more, the food you cook is very delicious, although it is vegetarian, it tastes good." He said without words, and put a lot of dishes into Xie Wanjun's bowl.
Su Youshan looked at their harmony, and was happy, but he was worried about Su Dong and them, and now he was still in a cold war, he wanted to finish the meal as soon as possible and persuade the Zhao family to come to eat too, so as not to make the family lifeless, which was very boring.
Another is also for the sake of the future of Su Dong and the two of them, after all, they are husband and wife, and they still have a long way to go together, and it is not a matter to consume them like this.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he looked at Su Dong again, the son was still immersed in eating, he didn't want to pay attention to his wife at all, and he didn't want to listen to anyone's opinion, which already made him feel very embarrassed.
"Dad, are you done eating?" Xie Wanjun asked with a smile, and also felt that today's meal was a little dull.
Su Youshan stood up as soon as he agreed, and went straight to Zhao's room, there was no expression on his face, he couldn't get used to this daughter-in-law, but there was no way, is harmony more valuable? He doesn't care, who cares.
Zhao, who heard the footsteps, knew that someone was coming, so he lay pitifully on the bed in plain clothes and couldn't get up, and put on a sad face, the slap on his face was still red and swollen, and she felt humiliated when she thought about it.
Su Youshan walked into the house slowly, and when he saw her pitiful appearance, he felt angry and pitiful, standing at the door with a serious face, "Don't be angry with Su Dong anymore, go to dinner, how can you go on like this?" The voice was slightly kind.
The Zhao family was still angry with Su Dong and Xie Wanjun, how could she listen to Su Youshan's words.
But she couldn't refuse directly, so she had to continue to pretend to be sick, "I was not feeling well, I couldn't eat at all, and I felt uncomfortable all over." She pretended to be weak when she spoke, and her jade fingers caressed her forehead, pretending to be like that.
"Then you have to eat less, don't eat at all, your body still can't stand it?" Su Youshan guessed some clues and tried to persuade her.
Before Zhao could speak, Su Dong had already finished eating, and hurriedly walked into the house angrily, and he knew even more about his own woman's little tricks.
"Don't persuade her to be hungry if she doesn't eat, what are you pretending to be?" His voice was louder than the bell, and the curtains in front of the bed trembled.
As soon as Zhao heard this, he was angry, and he was still wronged, but he still treated himself like this, immediately supported his upper body, and said with a sob: "I'm sick at all, but you treat me like this, you are too ruthless!" Her voice was even louder than that of her husband.
Su Youshan poked his son, hoping that he could speak well and not expand the matter, but Su Dong didn't care about his father's reminder at all.
Quickly walked to the center of the room and pointed at Zhao on the bed, "What do you think I don't know?" Don't pretend to be pathetic there! You should be taught a lesson if you have done something wrong, and you don't know how to repent yet! Lose face! Su Dong didn't show mercy to Zhao at all, and now he was getting more and more angry.
Su Youshan saw that he was meaningless here, so he had to leave silently with his hands behind his back, still shaking his head and sighing, he was also the daughter-in-law of their family, and this Zhao family was very different from Xie Wanjun.
Seeing Su Youshan walking out, knowing that he couldn't pretend to be in front of her husband at all, Zhao simply sat up straight and counted aggrievedly, "I made some mistakes, but you can't be so ruthless, right?" You're too ruthless! She cried as if she had been wronged.
"You said it yourself, if you make a mistake, I have to teach you a lesson, so as not to embarrass me all day long!" Su Dong felt more and more that she was being unreasonable, if it weren't for the fact that her face was still swollen, I really wanted to give her two more blows, so that she could know something powerful.
Zhao knew that he was wrong and speechless, so he cried aggrievedly, trembling all over.
Su Dong didn't feel that she was pitiful and wronged at all, and still looked at her angrily, "Daddy came to call you to eat, give you a staircase and it's over, you still take it, you said it was right or wrong!" His eyes were red, and he just felt that his mother-in-law was ignorant.
Zhao just cried, where is there any justification.
When the lamp is held, the moon is shining brightly outside, the stars are dotted, and the room is as bright as falling hoarfrost. Xie Wanjun sat on the bed with a melancholy face, while Su Qing was behind her, gently rubbing her fragrant shoulders for her.
On this day, boiling medicine and cooking made Xie Wanjun tired enough, but Su Qing wanted to relieve some fatigue for her, and the strength in her hand was just not light or heavy.
"It's not a matter for the family to go on like this, we have to find a way." Xie Wanjun tapped her knees and said thoughtfully, her already snow-white face was even more like congealed fat under the reflection of the moonlight.
Su Qing completely agreed with her idea, but some of the money she saved was used to buy medicine for Mrs. Su's medical treatment, and it was really not good if she didn't want to find a way.
Looking at his wife's thin back, Su Qing was very distressed, and she was even more reluctant to let her work too hard, "You're right, we really need to think of a way, I can't let you go to the street every day to make a living!" He also had a sad face, and he never stopped kneading Xie Wanjun's shoulder.
Xie Wanjun was very moved, but he didn't expect him to think about himself everywhere at this time, the jade hand took his big hand, and looked at his man gratefully, "But, what else can be done?" It is not something that can be solved at once for so many people in the family. She felt very embarrassed, her two eyebrows were twisted together, and her bright eyes were staring out the window.
Su Qing looked at his wife who had changed greatly affectionately, and then kept pacing on the ground, her mind was very confused.
Xie Wanjun was anxious, thinking that the mushrooms he had cultivated had not yet grown, otherwise he could exchange some money and come back.
The old lady Su was sick, and she didn't know when she needed money, Xie Wanjun saw her man wandering around on the ground, and she couldn't sit still, so she walked down to the ground and wanted to go out to breathe.
"Wait, put on a coat." Su Qing said, took a coat and put it on Xie Wanjun, very patient and careful.
Su Qing looked at him with a deep smile, and then walked out of the door.
Su Qing also followed, and saw Xie Wanjun staring at Haoyue, her emaciated figure was beautiful in the moonlight, so she moved over and gently hugged her willow waist, "Don't be anxious, this matter can't be solved all at once, think of a way slowly." He tried his best to comfort Xie Wanjun, knowing that she had racked her brains for this family, and didn't want her to bother her too much.
"I know, it's just hard to calm down, and when I think about the latest use at home, I have to think about it." She leaned lightly on the man's shoulder, feeling a lot of pressure, although this should be a man's business, but she just couldn't let go of it, and always wanted to do her part.
They walked slowly, and gradually walked to the place where the two sheep were kept, Su Qing pondered for a long time, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Yes, don't we have these two sheep?" He suddenly became excited, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his hands were still waving.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Xie Wanjun knew that he wanted to beat the sheep, but he didn't understand his specific thoughts, staring at the excited guy.
"Sell this big one, won't we have money?" Su Qing surrounded Xie Wanjun and said loudly, looking at the bigger sheep from time to time, feeling that his method was very feasible.
"But what about this little lamb?" Xie Wanjun was a little reluctant to sell these two sheep, so he said this.
