Chapter 54 Mid-Autumn Festival

Liang Xiu wiped her hands with her apron, walked out of the kitchen and opened the door.

Xiao Qi was playing in the yard, and heard someone knocking on the door, so she ran over to open it.

Liang Xiu stood in the yard and watched.

The one who entered was Su Manxiu, the eldest daughter of the Su family who hadn't been back to her natal home for a long time.

She stood awkwardly at the gate, calling out in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law three!"

Seeing that it was my sister-in-law, Liang Xiu walked forward to greet her with a smile and said, "No wonder there were magpies calling on the big tree in front of the door in the morning. It turned out that it was our Xiu'er who came back."

Although according to the local customs, married girls have to go home to catch up with the holidays, but Su Manxiu seldom comes back.

It's just because Su Manxiu is not doing well in her husband's house.

When she first got married, Su Manxiu was doing well, but a year later, Su Manxiu's stomach didn't move, and life in her in-law's house became difficult.

In the past few years, Su Manxiu's life in the old Wang's house was similar to that of a servant.

Every day from dawn to dusk to serve Lao Wang's family, and to work in the fields to earn work points.

Rao is so, often not enough to eat, often beaten and scolded by her husband.

At the beginning, the old Su's family would subsidize some for Su Manxiu, but Su Manxiu refused, unwilling to drag down her mother's family.

The brothers of the Su family also wanted to help Su Manxiu vent their anger, but Su Manxiu always said that she couldn't have a baby and owed the old Wang's family, so it's okay to suffer a little bit.

Over time, everyone seems to accept this status quo.

But Liang Xiu looked at Su Manxiu in front of him with sore eyes.

When Su Manxiu got married, she was 21 years old, which was the best time in her life.

Such a young and beautiful girl has been honed into this in a few years.

She is only 28 years old this year, but her face looks older than her 36-year-old sister-in-law.

The clothes on his body are even more invisible.The patch has been patched so that there is no good place left, and the shoe on the foot has a big hole and the toe is exposed.

Xu felt Liang Xiu's gaze, and Su Manxiu's toes curled up, as if this way she would not feel ashamed.

It's not that she's lazy and doesn't want to make love, but her mother-in-law said that she is suitable for wearing such shoes that no one wants.

"Let's go, let's go to the main room first." Liang Xiu affectionately took sister-in-law's hand, Su Manxiu's body stiffened for a moment, and then she relaxed.

"Father, mother, my eldest sister is back!" Liang Xiu greeted loudly with a smile.

When Grandma Su heard that her eldest daughter was back, she didn't even care about the half-filled buns, and stepped out of the kitchen in two steps.

"Xiu'er, you finally know that you are coming back to see your mother." Grandma Su rushed out, and couldn't continue after saying a word to her daughter.

She also saw the miserable appearance of her daughter.

She is a good girl, why did she live like this?

"Mother, today is the holiday, so I just wanted to see you and your family." After a pause, Su Manxiu said, "Just... just... I didn't bring anything..."

When Su Manxiu said this, her head was so low that she could only see her own feet.

Liang Xiu had seen her sister-in-law's hands empty a long time ago, how could she not know that, just like the old Wang's family, it would be strange if she was willing to prepare a gift for her.

"This is going home. It doesn't matter if you bring anything or not? Your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law will be happy when you come." Liang Xiu said hurriedly.

She is a sister-in-law. Saying this can reassure my sister-in-law more than mother-in-law.

Grandma Su glanced at the third daughter-in-law gratefully.

Sure enough, Su Manxiu's expression improved slightly.

But Liang Xiu just felt that this sister-in-law was a little different today, she seemed to have been wronged.

This sister-in-law is good in everything, but she is too self-respecting. She has been wronged by her husband's family and never speaks out.

She rarely went back to her natal family these years, and always persuaded her natal family not to visit her.

It's rare to come to my mother's house on my own initiative like this.

Su Xiaotian was reading a book peacefully in her room, but when she heard the conversation outside, she realized what she had forgotten.

It is the eldest aunt.

In her previous life, the eldest aunt took a gamble because her eldest uncle was going to divorce, and she didn't want to be the second cousin, so she committed suicide in the end.

But when she jumped into the river, she was rescued.

The marriage was finally divorced, and the eldest aunt returned to her natal family's Heart Brigade with a whole body of pain.

After returning, some members of the brigade made irresponsible remarks, and she couldn't bear the gossip, and finally jumped into the icy river to die.

It should be this year, so now that the eldest aunt suddenly returns to her mother's house, does she already have the determination to die?

No, absolutely not, the eldest aunt just came to see, right?

Thinking of this, she came out of the small cubicle in a few steps, and sure enough, the eldest aunt's expression was wrong.

Su Xiaotian rolled her eyeballs and ran up to Su Manxiu.

"Auntie, are you here? Tiantian misses you!"

Su Xiaotian's smile has a healing effect, and seeing Su Manxiu's heart warms her heart.

But this warmth only lasted for a moment, and she thought that she had no children, but that woman was already pregnant, and she couldn't help but want to cry again.

She asked herself that she had never done anything wicked, why did God torture her like this?

The mother-in-law is right, as a woman who doesn't even have a child, what's the point of living?

Su Xiaotian caught the fleeting smile on Su Manxiu's face, and her heart sank.

In his previous life, the eldest uncle got together with a little widow in the village.

The woman was pregnant, and the eldest uncle wanted to marry her, so he forced the eldest aunt to divorce. The eldest aunt was a very traditional woman, so of course she didn't want to be a cousin, so she begged hard.

However, that man was determined to get a divorce. If the eldest aunt didn't get a divorce, he would beat her.

In this life, it is estimated that it will still be the case.

How could she forget such an important thing with her pig brain?

Such a matter, Su Xiaotian felt that she seemed to have no way to solve it.

Even, at her current age, it would be wrong to say a few more words.

Su Xiaotian was distressed.

But she suddenly thought that even if there was no way to solve it, after the eldest aunt returned to the village, it should be okay to ask the family to take care of her more and take precautions.

It's a big deal, she will ask for more leave to look after her eldest aunt at home.

As for the divorce, Su Xiaotian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, he was just a scumbag, so if he left, he would leave.

Su Manxiu felt the deep affection from her family, and her heart became more and more sour, but she didn't open her mouth to talk about her suffering.

"Mom, I'm going to make some delicious food for my sister." Liang Xiu thought maybe her sister-in-law was here, but Su Manxiu was embarrassed to say so, so she found a reason to leave.

In the kitchen, Liang Xiu whispered her guess to the two sister-in-laws.

Wang Xianghua couldn't help but spat and said, "I've seen that Wang Gouzi is not a thing for a long time. Our old Su family's good girl betrothed to him. What happened to him?"

"Let's do something good to make up for the older sister. If the older sister is like the younger sister and knows to cry at her mother's house, life will not be so difficult." Qi Liangying said.

The younger sister is obviously living a good life, but she often finds various reasons to come to her mother's house to ask for things, but the elder sister, who is not full and warm, refuses to go to her mother's house for help.

"I'd rather give the grain and meat to my eldest sister!" Liang Xiu sighed.

Su Manxiang, the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, ate her own food and even slandered her Xiaotian.

Wang Xianghua sneered coldly and said, "Even if it is given to the eldest sister, it will be in vain for Wang Gouzi's family. The eldest sister is here today, let's make more good ones for her."

Both Liang Xiu and Qi Liangying agreed deeply.

The third sister-in-law took out the dried noodles brought by Chen Zian and cooked them for Su Manxiu. She didn't forget to nest two poached eggs for her, and at the end, put a big spoon full of meat sausages.

It was a simple bowl of noodles, but with so many good things in it, it changed instantly.

When Liang Xiu walked into the main room with a bowl of noodles, the atmosphere was silent, the family of three didn't even speak.

"Mom, the meal is ready, let the eldest sister have a bite first, and the buns will be cooked later." Liang Xiu said to Grandma Su with a smile on her face.

"Come on, Xiu'er, you have a bowl of noodles first, and then a bun later, your favorite pumpkin bun with oil residue." Grandma Su said distressedly.

But Su Manxiu murmured, "Mom, I won't eat it. This noodle is so good, I'd better save it for my baby!" Su Manxiu looked at her face, growling with hunger, but she still shook her head: "I just came to see Look at you and my father, I have seen it, I should go too!"

She didn't bring anything back to her natal home, so how can she stay at her natal home to eat?

There are so many children in her natal family, and she is not rich, so she can't be too selfish.

"Big sister, the noodles are all ready, how can you just leave like this? If you leave today on an empty stomach, how can your parents let it go?" Liang Xiu hurriedly grabbed Su Manxiu and said.

"But……"

"It's nothing but, you're back home, you should eat something good, sister-in-law even laid eggs for you!"

Su Manxiu finally ate this bowl of noodles, but she ate it with tears.

After Su Manxiu finished eating the noodles, Wang Xianghua came in with a plate of steamed buns, put them on the kang table and said, "Mother, the steamed stuffed buns are ready, let my sister help you taste them."

Su Manxiu ate a bowl of noodles with eggs and minced meat, and was already very embarrassed. Looking at the buns that were bigger than a grown man's fist, how could she be willing to eat them.

"Come on, Xiu'er, you like this taste." Grandma Su picked up a steaming steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it directly into her daughter's hand without any explanation.

When Su Manxiu was not married, she really liked to eat pumpkin buns, but since she got married, after all these years, not to mention what she wants to eat, as long as she can eat enough, she is already satisfied.

"Mother, save the buns for the kids!" Su Manxiu wanted to put the buns back on the plate, but was stopped by Su Xiaotian.

"Auntie, let's eat together. My grandma made a lot of buns."

As Su Xiaotian said, she reached out and picked up a bun and put it in Grandpa Su's hand, and then picked up another bun and put it in Grandma Su's hand...

Soon, everyone in the room had an extra bun in their hands.

"Xiu, eat together, eat together, there are still children at home, there is no shortage of children." Grandpa Su said, he took the first to pick up the buns and began to chew, but he couldn't eat.

He knew that his daughter had a bad life in her husband's house, but her daughter said that it was okay to be angry if she didn't have a baby. He also felt that the old Wang's family should have complaints if the eldest daughter didn't have children.

But this time I haven't seen her for more than half a year, why did my daughter become like this?

It hurts to be a father!

"I don't think I'll go back tonight, live with my mother and talk. Since you got married, you haven't lived at home for a long time." Grandma Su didn't eat the buns, she just said.

Su Manxiu didn't want to agree at first, but after thinking about that man again, she finally decided to stay for one night, maybe this is her last chance.

At this moment, Su Manxiang came. There were five members of the family, all of whom were complete, and even Kang Rende, who basically didn't come to the door, came with a smile on his face.

The whole family brought Jieli, which was half a pack of chicken cakes.

Grandma Su looked at her, and couldn't help frowning. Who is this shivering?

Fortunately, they always say that they are cadres in the town. How can cadres do this?

"Mom, it's the holidays, and my baby's dad and I brought the kids to see you and my dad!" Su Manxiang smiled and said it nicely.

But Liang Xiu immediately changed her face. If it wasn't because Kang Rende was there, she could immediately beat Su Manxiang out.

"Mom, I want to eat buns." Kang Xiaobao opened his mouth immediately when he saw the big buns on the table.

Before anyone else could speak, Su Manxiang had already spoken: "When you arrive at grandpa and grandma's house, it's not like your own home. You can get what you want by yourself."

The last few times I went back to her mother's house, she didn't get anything good, so she brought her baby here specially today.

Even if you are reluctant to give it to her, why not let her eat it?The whole family can eat a lot if they are full for a day.

It was okay when she was poor, but now that she is rich, she is not given a subsidy.

Su Manxiang thought dissatisfiedly, feeling that her natal family was not good and didn't love her.

Kang Xiaobao got Su Manxiang's words, and immediately reached out to get the bun, but after reaching out, he found that the bun was gone.

Su Xiaotian held the remaining buns in her hands, and was looking coldly at Kang Xiaobao's outstretched claws.

"Mother, look, this dead girl has been used to be a fool by you? Why do you still eat alone? There are so many buns, why don't you share some with Xiaobao? Meihua, Dabao, you two also want to eat, give it to Mom Take one too."

Seeing Su Manxiang's appearance, Wang Xianghua didn't want to talk nonsense, so she turned around and went out.

When they arrived in the kitchen, she and Qi Liangying immediately worked together to pack up the mooncakes and steamed buns that were steamed today and put them in the cabinet, not forgetting to lock the cabinet door by the way.

There are so many good things, if Su Manxiang sees them, she probably won't keep any of them for her family.

In the future, this kind of loss can no longer be suffered.

In the main room, Grandma Su glanced at her daughter. She originally wanted to take care of the children's face without saying anything, but when she was looking at Su Manxiang, she accidentally saw Kang Meihua's poisoned eyes.

In an instant, she became sober. This family is not well-fed.

"Xiu, you can continue to eat. It's hard to go back to your mother's house, so you have to eat something good!" Grandma Su urged the eldest daughter.

"Mom, how can you be so biased?" Su Manxiang quit immediately, what does her mother mean by this?

Even Su Manxiu, a hen who can't lay eggs, deserves to eat such big buns?

"I'm biased. How much food and drink have I given you these years? Your sister is honest and never complains, so I just pretended I didn't see it. I treated her badly. Are you not satisfied with giving her a bun?"

As if it wasn't enough, Grandma Su said again: "If you don't like it, go back to your house!"

This is to kick someone out, Liang Xiu finally felt calmer, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be told by her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law would take away all the good things in the house.

"Mom, it's not that I've been in trouble for the past two years. I'll give you a lot of gifts when I get better in two years!" Su Manxiang didn't feel ashamed at all, but shouted loudly: "My sister is like this, do you still expect her to be filial to you and me?" father?"

"If I count on you, I can't count on it. It's just this half bag of chicken cakes?"

"Mom, this is a chicken cake. It's filled with sugar and oil. It's fluffy and soft, and it tastes delicious. Don't look at the half bag, it's not easy to get it out. Ren De only got a catty of it. Leave half a catty for my mother-in-law, and I brought this half catty to you. You and my father are getting older, so eat some chicken cakes, so that you can digest it."

Su Manxiang has always been a good talker. Those who know it say it's a chicken cake, but those who don't know it think it's some high-end pastry.

Kang Rende works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and it's not difficult to get some chicken cakes on weekdays. Just this Mid-Autumn Festival, Kang Rende got four catties of chicken cakes, which still don't require tickets.

But Su Manxiang always felt that she couldn't let her natal family know that her family was doing well, so she always got used to crying about being poor.

When I came here this time, I originally planned to bring nothing, but thinking that I didn't bring anything with me the last few times, I was squeezed by my parents, so I took half a catty of chicken cakes.

For this reason, Kang Rende was very unhappy.

It was Su Manxiang who said that after making her parents happy, she would be happy if she said a few words in front of the county magistrate, maybe he could get him to go to work in the county.

"Uncle and aunt, this is a little thought of Man Xiang and I, don't hold it against you, life is not easy now, and the city is not like your rural areas." Even at this time, Kang Rende still couldn't let go of his superior posture.

The old Su's family is full of mud legs, and he doesn't like it. If Su Manxiang didn't look like a flower, which fascinated him, he wouldn't be so foolish as to marry a countryman.

"Dare you come to our house to find a sense of presence? Besides, you are from the town, and you keep saying that you are from the city. If you don't know, you still think you are from the capital." Liang Xiu said to run.

Kang Rende lost face on the spot, this old Su family has no rules, he is a guest when he comes to the door, and his baby is also a guest, so it's fine if he doesn't greet him well, and he will run on him!

If he hadn't thought about relying on his father-in-law and mother-in-law to talk to him and transfer him to work in the city, he would have left by now.

Liang Xiu originally thought that if she said that, Kang Rende would definitely leave immediately, but who knows, Kang Rende didn't leave, he just looked ugly.

Where is the sun coming out from?

"Sister-in-law three, please be more polite, my man is here, he is a distinguished guest!" Su Manxiang said loftily: "We are hungry all the way, and we will not be picky if we have ready-made buns. Just make some egg soup to moisten your mouth."

This lofty appearance really made Liang Xiu laugh, she couldn't help but look at Su Manxiu who was sitting beside her like a quail.

Why is there such a big difference between a daughter born to a father and mother?

Su Manxiu looked at her complacent younger sister, and became more silent, lowering her head, not daring to say a word.
