“Stop thinking about it. Grandpa and Grandma have always been biased.” Zhou Hengyang understood what she was thinking. “Once Su Xuefang was released after more than 24 hours, she went to find Grandpa and Grandma who had gone visiting relatives.”
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was driving, muttered, “Are those old folks out of their minds?”
“Hehe!” Zhou Hengyang sneered.
“Grandpa and Grandma dote on Aunt very much.” Su Xiu said softly, “They must hate us this time. They’ve always disliked us.” She shrank involuntarily against Su Wen’s body.
Not only Su Xiu, even Sixth sister and Little sister were like frosted eggplants, dispirited. Born as the youngest, they faced Grandpa and Grandma’s disappointment, criticism, and curses from the moment they were born. Su Dachun even suggested Su Xuewen throw her Little sister into the river and drown her.
After all, she was a burden, and she had even caused her mother’s death shortly after birth. She was like a cursed ghost, someone who might end up killing all her family members. Later, when Su Xuewen died young, Su Dachun’s hatred for Little sister grew even deeper.
Little sister Su was not young anymore, so Su Dachun couldn’t just drown her. He had always wanted to sell her.
He could even exchange it for some money.
For some reason, Su Wen realized when she first transmigrated, her Little sister was living in constant fear and trepidation. She was afraid that she would be sold even in her dreams. It all traced back to Su Dachun, who had often instigated Su Wen. If it wasn’t for the fact that he hadn’t found a good buyer, he would have secretly taken her Little sister away.
In some ways, Su Dachun and Tian Yong, this son-in-law, were quite similar.
“Don’t be afraid.” Su Wen held Su Xiu’s hand and suddenly thought of He Changming’s visit yesterday. She had been so disoriented by Zhou Hengyang that she forgot to ask Su Xiu about the specific situation. She needed to find time to talk to her about the detail later.
He Changming was a good man, and she had high hopes for him.
Initially, Su Wen didn’t want to interfere with her sisters’ marriages and relationships, but now she changed her mind. Firstly, in this era, people were often introduced and, if they got along and their families’ situation was good, they would get married very quickly.
Ninety percent of marriages were like this. There was no need to blindly pursue the concept of free love.
Different eras used different methods. It wasn’t necessarily beneficial to be ahead of one’s time.
Su Wen’s heart ached when she saw that Su Xiu’s face turned pale when she heard her grandfather and grandmother’s voices. She decided to matchmake Su Xiu and He Changming, at least try to get along with each other first. With He Changming as Su Xiu’s backer, Grandpa and Grandma could no longer control her.
She couldn’t always keep everyone safe and secure. With Grandpa and Grandma’s status, it was inevitable that she would be taken advantage of.
Zhou Hengyang, who had been looking back at Su Wen, lowered his gaze slightly. His handsome face looked cold and stern. For a moment, the atmosphere in the car fell into a suffocating silence. Even Xu Xiaoxiao, who usually does things her way, fell silent.
Everyone went to the country-owned restaurant in the county town to eat. Xu Xiaoxiao was instructed by Zhou Hengyang to order food.
Even though it was called ordering, there weren’t many options available in the 1980s country-owned restaurants. All the dishes were written on red paper and pasted on the wall of the lobby. They could be seen clearly from afar. “What do you want to eat?” Zhou Hengyang asked the sisters.
“Brother-in-law, we’re fine with anything.”
“Whatever fills our stomach.”
“I’ll eat whatever Big Sister eats.”
The sisters weren’t in high spirits. It was also their first time at a country-owned restaurant, so they were not picky. Everything was up to Su Wen and Zhou Hengyang. After they sat down at the round table in the lobby, they immediately obediently poured tea for Big sister and brother-in-law.
All the customers in the lobby were stunned..
