Chapter 493 Sending a Letter
After wandering around the depths of Baihua Mountain and absorbing some of the spiritual energy in the mountain, Su Qing left Baihua Mountain and headed towards Lihua Village. Since she was back in Xiyuan County this time, she planned to visit Zhao Youcai and several aunts who had taken care of her before. When she was in Lihua Village before, Zhao Youcai and those aunts had shown her great kindness.
"Oh, you are... you are Su Qing, right?" It was not yet the end of the first lunar month, and the villagers of Lihua Village were still hibernating. However, there were quite a few people walking around in the village. An aunt saw Su Qing, her eyes widened immediately, and she looked at her carefully before asking uncertainly.
"Aunt Lu." Su Qing smiled and said, "I am Su Qing."
"Oh my god, it's really Su Qing." Aunt Lu looked at Su Qing in surprise. Seeing Su Qing's beautiful clothes, she couldn't help but sighed, "Oh, she's a girl from a big city. If we met her on the street with this outfit, I wouldn't even recognize her."
Su Qing smiled, gave Aunt Lu a handful of White Rabbit candies, and asked, "Aunt Lu, is the captain at home?"
"Yes, yes." Aunt Lu's eyes lit up immediately after receiving the White Rabbit candy from Su Qing. She said hurriedly, "The captain's family is at home. Fanny is getting married in a few days, and the captain's family is busy preparing the wedding banquet."
"Fanni is getting married. Which family is she marrying into?" Su Qing was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. But after some calculation, Zhao Fanni is the youngest daughter of the team leader, the same age as her. She is also eighteen years old this year. In the village, girls of eighteen can get married.
"It's the second son of the Niu family in Qianshan Village." Aunt Lu smiled and said, "The second son of the Niu family found a temporary job in the county, earning 18.5 yuan a month. He said that if he does a good job, he can be converted to a regular employee in the future, and he will also be allocated a house in the county. But he is very popular. Fanny is very lucky. After marrying into the Niu family, she won't have to dig for food in the fields anymore. Oh, she is lucky."
Aunt Lu was extremely envious when she spoke like this, but it was a pity that her daughter didn't have such good luck.
"This is great news." Su Qing smiled when she heard it.
"That's right." Aunt Lu nodded.
Su Qing said, "Aunt Lu, I'm going to the captain's house first, and we'll talk later."
"Well, okay, okay." Aunt Lu smiled and watched Su Qing walk towards Zhao Youcai's house, then turned around and went to old Su's house.
The Su family did not have a smooth New Year this year.
Last year, old man Su was hacked to death by Tian Aixiang, who also ate peanuts. The Su family and the Tian family became enemies. The Su family went to the Tian family several times and wanted to make compensation. But how could the Tian family pay? They just said that Tian Aixiang had paid with her life, and the two families were even. After half a year of trouble, the Su family had not been able to get a penny from the Tian family.
Su Shengguo lost his job and had to return to Lihua Village to farm. However, he had worked for many years and could not bear the hardship of farming. In the past six months, Su Shengguo and his family had not been able to adapt to life in Lihua Village. Su Mei's face was disfigured by Tian Aixiang, so she stayed at home and was unwilling to go out.
Su Shengli had his arm chopped by Tian Aixiang, which damaged his nerves. Now it is difficult for him to lift things, let alone a hoe.
As for Old Mrs. Su, she had injured her waist twice before, and since then she has been lying sick in bed, and she has become much thinner than before.
The family has basically no income now, and this year is even more difficult than the previous year. On New Year's Day, there is not even a bit of meat on the table. Old Mrs. Su sits at the head of the bed every day, scolding Tian Aixiang, Su Qing, Su Mei and Zheng Erlian. In a word, it is these daughters-in-law and granddaughters in the family who have ruined the bright future of her son and grandson, and also ruined her husband's life.
"Aunt Lu." Hearing the knock on the door, Zheng Erlian went to open it. Now she is the only daughter-in-law in the family, and almost all the housework is piled on her. She has long lost the energy and spirit she had in the county town before.
"Shengguo's wife, Happy New Year." Aunt Lu said with a smile.
Zheng Erlian gave a bitter smile in her heart. Bullshit! The Su family spent this New Year in a dull and lifeless manner. There was no festive atmosphere at all.
"Aunt Lu, is there anything you need that brings you here today?" Zheng Erlian let Aunt Lu into the yard and asked with a forced smile.
Aunt Lu didn't go any further after entering the courtyard. She just smiled and said, "Do you know who I saw?"
"Who did you see?" Zheng Erlian asked curiously after hearing Aunt Lu say this when she came to her house for no apparent reason.
"Oh, I saw Su Qing." Aunt Lu said with a smile, "You don't know, that girl is dressed so beautifully, I have never seen such beautiful clothes, and that girl is getting more and more beautiful now, that little face, so white and tender, it makes people like it."
Aunt Lu smiled again and said, "You are relatives after all. Su Qing has finally come back. You can just go out and repair your relationship."
Hearing what Aunt Lu said, Zheng Erlian's face turned a little bad. Her husband lost his job, and they always thought it was because of Su Qing. It must be Su Qing who was behind it. It's a pity that they have no evidence. The last time Su Qing came back, her husband came to ask for an explanation, but he didn't end up well. Now, Zheng Erlian is even more disgusted with Su Qing.
"Whether that damn girl comes back or not has nothing to do with us." Zheng Erlian said coldly, "Aunt Lu, if you have time, you might as well go home and take care of your newborn grandson."
Although she had resentment towards Su Qing in her heart, Zheng Erlian knew that her husband and son together were no match for that damn girl Su Qing. So, even if Su Qing came back, she didn't plan to provoke her, to avoid getting beaten again.
"Hey, I just came here to deliver a message out of kindness, why are you so cold?" Aunt Lu was a little unhappy: "Okay, I'm just being nosy."
After saying that, Aunt Lu left somewhat unhappy. She originally felt that the old Su family was living a miserable life now. Thinking that since Su Qing was back, she came to inform the old Su family and asked them to repair their relationship with Su Qing. When the relationship was good, Su Qing could take care of the old Su family. At that time, the old Su family would remember her kindness and would definitely let her benefit from it.
But the result was that Zheng Erlian gave him a cold shoulder.
"Bah." Aunt Lu spat towards the old Su family's yard: "You deserve to live like this."
At the old Su's house, Zheng Erlian returned to the house. Old Mrs. Su looked at Zheng Erlian and said, "Old Wife, who's here? Why did I hear the name of that damn girl Su Qing?"
Zheng Erlian did not hide it: "Aunt Lu said Su Qing returned to the village."
Without waiting for Old Lady Su to speak, Su Mei rushed out of her room and asked Zheng Erlian, "Mom, Su Qing is back?"
