Chapter 10

“Is Miss Su here? Is anyone home?”

Su He was awakened by a female voice. She was too tired after doing laundry in the afternoon, so when she came to see the two kids, she fell asleep next to them.

She was still a little confused after being woken up. Who was it? There is actually someone in this village looking for her?

When I went out, I saw a peasant woman wearing a straw hat, who had obviously just returned from the fields.

As soon as she saw her, the peasant woman smiled and said, “Sister Su, I’m the wife of old man Zheng who helped you carry firewood last night. You are too polite. You gave me half a pound of meat just for helping me carry such a small amount of firewood.”

So it was his family. Even in the memory of the original owner Su He, there was no impression of that uncle.

Not only the uncle from yesterday, Su He had no impression of anyone in the village because he had no contact with them at all.

“It’s okay. I’m the one who troubled you. It was a little late last night, so I asked you to go up the mountain to carry firewood for me. It’s only right that you give me meat.” Su He said hurriedly.

“Hey, we’re all from the same village, so it’s only natural for us to help each other. Look, these are the melons I just picked from my vegetable garden. They’re so delicious. And these freshly picked vegetables are all for you.” After the peasant woman said this, she placed the vegetables and melons in her hands directly on Su He’s land.

“No, no, that’s not good enough.” Su He quickly refused.

“Yes, these vegetables are not worth much. You must have spent a lot of money on the meat, right? Meat is very expensive now. We don’t even dare to buy it to eat.”

The price of meat in this world seems to be quite expensive at present. Because breeding farms are not strongly promoted now, pork is basically raised by the villagers themselves, and they are not willing to kill it and eat it until after the Chinese New Year.

“Don’t think my vegetables are worthless.” The peasant woman said jokingly.

“How can that be possible, Auntie? I don’t know what to call you.” Su He decided instantly that he had to get along well with the other party.

“My last name is Niu, and everyone calls me Aunt Niu.”

“Aunt Niu, then I’ll accept all your dishes. I’ll try cooking them tonight. I’m sure they’ll be delicious.” Su He immediately complimented.

“That’s right. The vegetables grown in my house are all very sweet. Sister Su, take a look and see if you like them. If you like, just go to my vegetable garden and pick them. It’s okay. Do you see that vegetable garden? It’s mine.” Aunt Niu said proudly.

“Okay, thank you Aunt Niu.” Su He replied quickly.

Hearing the conversation, the two children were also woken up. They jumped out of bed and walked out of the living room barefoot. When they saw Su He, they hurriedly called out, “Mom.” “

Hey, why aren’t you wearing shoes?” After Su He said that, she went straight to the room and took the shoes of the two children and put them on.

Aunt Niu saw all of Su He’s behavior and felt that what her old man said was indeed true and the rumors were false.

They have never had any contact with Su He, but they believed what others said about Su He. Now it seems that there is something wrong with Su He? She is polite and knows manners, and she doesn’t beat or scold her own children as rumored.

Seeing how the two kids were so attached to their mother, Aunt Niu couldn’t help but say, “Oh, these two kids are so cute, but they are a little too thin.”

“Haha, I’ve been giving them supplements recently. I wonder if the meat can be regained.” Su He replied.

“My second daughter-in-law’s third and fourth children are about the same age as your children. When you have time, take the two children to the village more often. It’s fun for children to play together.” Aunt Niu reminded.

“Thank you, Aunt Niu. I’ve been cleaning my house recently, so I haven’t been out much. I will definitely go to the village when the time comes.”

In their village, Su He’s home is near the mountain and is quite remote from the village.

In fact, the Fu family lived in the center of the village, but Fu Tinghua’s mother didn’t like Su He and didn’t want to see her, so she allocated an old house to the two of them.

Look, even though they knew Su He had come to live in the countryside, except for the first two days after he came back, Fu Tinghua’s parents came to see their grandchildren, and they never came again after that.

The main reason was that it was too disgusting. Looking at Su He’s fat body, the couple couldn’t help but think of their proud son, and they couldn’t help feeling depressed.

It would be fine if the daughter-in-law was sensible, but Su He has such a bad reputation.

Those families who were jealous of the Fu family for having a son like Fu Tinghua, when they saw that Fu Tinghua actually married such a wife, all laughed at them in secret.

Su He is domineering, rude and crazy, and more importantly, lazy.

The two kids are always dirty, and the house is also dirty, like a garbage dump.

In the past, Su He would clean the house after Fu Tinghua came home, because she was afraid that Fu Tinghua would see her like this and not give her money.

After Fu Tinghua went to join the army this year, Su He became completely shabby and looked extremely sloppy.

Why do Fu Tinghua’s parents dislike even their grandchildren? Because Fu Tinghua told them that Su He was pregnant with his child and they had to get married.

So the two elders felt that it was because of the children that their son had to marry Su He, so they disliked both children.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Niu drank a bowl of water at Su He’s house and then said goodbye and went home. No matter how Su He asked her to stay for dinner, she still refused to go home.

After she left, Su He started preparing dinner again.

Looking at the melons and vegetables brought by Aunt Niu, Su He planned to fry them and eat them tonight.

This melon is best eaten when shredded and stir-fried, and then add some meat. Su He was drooling at the thought.

“Mom is going to cook dinner. Are you hungry?” Su He said and touched Zizi’s belly. Zizi looked at her embarrassedly and said, “Mom, I’ll help you.”

Su He smiled and went to the kitchen to cook. However, what she didn’t know was that because of Aunt Niu’s mouth, her reputation in the village had changed again.

After dinner, a group of village women sat at the entrance of the village and started chatting about gossip, even Fu Tinghua’s mother Wu Yanhua was there.

After chatting about some gossip, Aunt Niu suddenly turned the topic to Su He.

“Speaking of Tinghua’s wife, I met her today.” After Aunt Niu said this, she turned her attention to Wu Yanhua.

Sure enough, when Wu Yanhua saw her mentioned Su He, her face turned dark.

“Hehe, I think Su He is pretty good.” Aunt Niu said again.

At this time, other people nearby interrupted.

“Oh, you know she’s a good person after just meeting her once?”

“She even went to He Sheng’s house in the village to gamble with others. My wife saw it all.”

“Yes, I heard that all the rice and salt in the house were mortgaged.”

“Oh, how can your family tolerate such a daughter-in-law? Why don’t you divorce her immediately?”

“That’s right. If she were my wife, I would definitely beat her so hard that she wouldn’t know which way is which.”

A group of women spoke one after another, as if they had some deep hatred with Su He.

Especially when other families are having a hard time, they feel that their own family is doing okay in comparison.

This is the mentality of rural people. If you live a good life, they are jealous. If you live a bad life, they applaud.
