Su Manjin took Su Xusheng and did not go to the old house, but went back to his home.

Seeing their daughter come in with a boy, Zeng Meiyue and Su Xusheng both looked at Su Xusheng suspiciously.

"Mom and Dad, he is Su Xusheng, I told you before."

Zeng Meiyue reacted: "It turns out that you are Xiaosheng, I heard Xiaoman say, before the sea, you taught your family to dig razor clams, you are really a capable child." ”

"Mom, Su Xiaosheng doesn't just dig the clam king, he also helps her mother and grandmother do a lot of farm work."

Zeng Meiyue sighed: "It's really rare for such a well-behaved child to be so diligent and capable." ”

Su Xusheng's face turned a little red when he was praised. Su Xiaoman's mother is so gentle.

Su Qinggui and Wang Qionghua went for more than an hour and didn't come back.

Zeng Meiyue pulled Su Xusheng to have dinner at home.

Seeing the harmonious appearance of Su Manjin's family, Su Xusheng inevitably felt a little envious in his heart.

A few years ago, my father didn't drink heavily, and their family was fine, but now ......

I don't know how my mother is, why my aunt and uncle have been gone for so long and haven't come back.

Su Manjin saw that the boy was a little anxious, she said hello to her family, and accompanied him to his aunt's house to wait.

Seeing that he had been staring at the gate of the courtyard absentmindedly, Su Manjin soothed: "Don't worry, your aunt may have been talking to your mother for a while." ”

Su Xusheng nodded, the person was still wilted.

The two waited in the courtyard for a while before Su Qinggui and his wife returned home in the night.

Su Xusheng hurriedly rushed up and raised his head: "Auntie, uncle, how is my mother?" ”

Wang Qionghua's face was dark: "It's all skin trauma, but you have to take care of it for a few days." ”

"When we passed, your dad was drunk and asleep, and your mom was cleaning up the mess."

Su Qinggui continued: "Your aunt asked your mother to go back to her parents' house for a few days, but she didn't listen, just stayed there. ”

Wang Qionghua looked at her husband helplessly: "She is afraid, if she goes to her mother's house to make trouble during the New Year, won't she make her brother and sister-in-law angry?" ”

"Xiaosheng, you can live at home in peace. When your father is sober tomorrow, I will go over with your uncle and talk to him. ”

Su Xusheng lowered his head: "Thank you, auntie, uncle." ”

Su Manjin patted him on the shoulder, "Su Xiaosheng, don't worry." It's useless to worry about it now, get a good night's sleep, and I'll accompany you home tomorrow to see your mother. ”

Su Manjin went home and explained the situation of Su Xusheng's family to his family, and the Su family was embarrassed.

It is not easy for this child to be in such a family, and he has to go through a lot of difficulties that others can't imagine at a young age.

The next morning.

Su Xusheng waited outside the courtyard of Su Manjin's house at 7 o'clock.

He didn't sleep well last night, and he had nightmares all the time, in which his mother was beaten and her head was bleeding, and her face was blue and purple. He woke up crying and couldn't sleep after that.

Quiet in the old house.

At the beginning of the month, Su Jinshun and Su Yuhui only rested for two days on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year.

The restaurant has a good business for the New Year, and there is a large demand for seafood, so the father and son took Su Yuwen, who wanted to experience the activities of catching the sea, and went out at four or five o'clock in the morning today.

As soon as Su Manjin woke up, changed his clothes, walked to the door with the basin and prepared to wash, he saw a figure leaning against the wall.

"Su Xiaosheng, why are you standing there. Come on in. ”

Su Xusheng saw the girl's figure, and his eyes lit up for a moment.

He walked quickly to her side and asked softly, "Xiaoman, will you accompany me back later?" ”

Su Manjin nodded: "Well, we agreed yesterday." I didn't know you were waiting for me so early, or I would have gotten up early. ”

"Let's have some breakfast and let's go, okay?"

Su Xusheng nodded, waited for the girl to wash properly, and was pulled to drink a bottle of warm milk and eat an egg, before the two hurried to Qianlou Village.

Su Xusheng's mother, Wang Zhenhua, is five years older than Zeng Meiyue and is a diligent rural woman.

When Su Manjin and Su Xusheng arrived, she was sitting at the door weaving fishing nets.

Even though her cheekbones were bruised and swollen, and her arms that rolled up her sleeves were bruised, she seemed to be unaware of the pain except for her slightly hunched back, and her hands were still quickly interspersed with the threads of fishing nets.

Su Xusheng ran over and looked at the injuries on his mother's face and arms, his eyes were slightly red: "Mom." ”

Wang Zhenhua turned her head stiffly, saw her son, and squeezed out a smile: "You're back?" I went to your aunt's house last night, did you have a good meal? ”

Su Xusheng nodded, and pulled Su Manjin again: "Mom, this is Xiaoman, my friend, her house is next door to her aunt's house." ”

Wang Zhenhua glanced at Su Manjin, nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

"Auntie, are you weaving fishing nets for going to sea? Or do you do it for someone else? Su Manjin stepped forward to talk.

Wang Zhenhua: "Help others do handicrafts, and make money to supplement the family when you are free, and a handicraft costs two dimes." ”

Su Manjin: "Auntie, can you weave a hundred fishing nets a day?" ”

Wang Zhenhua: "If you can weave from morning to night, you can do other housework, and it is good to be able to weave seventy pieces a day." ”

Su Manjin: Isn't that only a dozen yuan?

"Auntie, I heard Su Xiaosheng say, you usually carry the burden at the dock, right? That life is very hard, do you want to consider staying at home and catching the sea to make money? ”

Su Xusheng's father, Su Xihai, followed the boat in the port to go to sea to fish and work for people. If Wang Zhenhua didn't go out to the dock to carry the burden, she would also save herself from staying with him and being beaten often.

Wang Zhenhua didn't know what the girl brought by her son was thinking, how much money could she make by catching the sea?

A few years ago, Su Xihai had to build a small fishing boat, so he went to sea to fish in the East China Sea in his hometown, but he spent a lot of money on oil and a lot of wine, but he didn't make a lot of money, and he owed a bunch of debts to buy a fishing boat.

"I'm working well at the docks right now, and I don't want to stay at home and catch the sea. You go play with Xiaosheng. Wang Zhenhua's face was cold.

Su Xusheng was a little anxious: "Mom, I asked Xiaoman to come over and help me talk to you." ”

"My dad drank alcohol and always beat people, so we can really call the police. will always protect us. I don't believe you ask Xiaoman. ”

Wang Zhenhua: No wonder my son has been saying that he wants to call the police recently, it turned out that this girl was the one who pleaded with her.

She looked at Su Manjin with a cold expression: "This is our family's business, his father is just drunk and lost his mind, what should he call the police?" Caught him and locked up, is it a joke? ”

Su Manjin felt Wang Zhenhua's dislike, but still patiently explained: "Auntie, beating people after being drunk often happens, this is domestic violence and it is illegal." You have to protect yourself, and you have to protect your children, in case your uncle misses, you can be seriously injured or killed. ”

Wang Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, he only gets drunk occasionally...... We'll settle my family's affairs by ourselves, so you can go back. After speaking, he moved his chair and turned his back to Su Manjin.

Su Manjin is really speechless, he gets drunk and beats people twice in three days, that's called occasional?
