Su Qin felt a profound sense of despair for the first time. He could see it; Su Jiu had no intention of witnessing their confrontation.
“Don’t bother interfering with Xiao Yu’s affairs. Since you were the ones who initiated all this in the first place, don’t regret it. Walk the path you’ve chosen, even if it means kneeling. Don’t look back because none of us will forgive you. I am the eldest son. When you grow old, I will take care of you in your twilight years. Don’t expect anything else.” With these words, he took his documents and closed the door in front of them in the study.
Once Su Jiu was out of sight, Yang Shanshan collapsed to the ground.
Never before had she realized so clearly that she had lost her three children.
Covering her chest with her hand, she wondered if she had done something wrong.
In this moment, she was certain that she hadn’t. She had only acted for the good of her three children.
“Husband, let’s go find Xiao Yu. I won’t agree to a rural girl entering our family. He shouldn’t even think about it. Even if it can’t be Xie Yang, it absolutely cannot be Wang Jinhe. She’s not worthy.”
“Shanshan, we’ve been wrong these years, and you…”
“No, we’re not wrong. They are the ones who are wrong, who don’t understand our feelings, who don’t comprehend everything we’ve done for them.” Yang Shanshan said angrily.
Su Qin helplessly looked at Yang Shanshan, knowing her proud nature would make admitting a mistake as difficult as reaching the sky. But this time, they were indeed wrong.
“Shanshan, that’s the person Xiao Yu likes. You…”
“Likes? How do you know what liking is? He understands nothing. That vile woman must have used some means to seduce our son. I won’t let it end like this.” Yang Shanshan summoned her guards and instructed them to immediately find Wang Jinhe based on the information provided by Xie Yang.
Even if Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei were there, she would go to stop the two from being together.
Su Qin couldn’t stop Yang Shanshan, so he could only helplessly let her go about it. In his heart, he also wanted to check on Su Yu.
In the study, Su Jiu overheard their conversation. Frowning, he couldn’t believe how unyielding Yang Shanshan was. She seemed determined not to cry until she saw the coffin.
After writing the letter, Su Jiu sent it out.
When Su Yu received the letter, Yang Shanshan finally got the address of Wang Jinhe’s family.
Su Yu opened the letter and remained calm when he read that Yang Shanshan and Su Qin knew about the matter and were coming. If they wanted to come, then let them. His grandfather was also there, and he wanted him to witness how she usually treated her daughter and sons.
After receiving the letter, Su Yu went out to find Yang Zhenwei, saying, “Grandfather…”
Listening to Su Yu’s hesitant voice, Yang Zhenwei, who was playing with the three children, looked up at him and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“Grandfather, this is a letter my brother just sent. Take a look.” Su Yu handed the letter to Yang Zhenwei.
Yang Zhenwei took the letter and as he read, his frown deepened. In the end, Yang Zhenwei’s expression could only be described as ominous.
“She’s quite audacious,” Yang Zhenwei commented.
“Grandfather, you have to help me. If you don’t help me, what should I do if I’m bullied?” Su Yu said with a hint of grievance.
Yang Zhenwei looked at Su Yu and chuckled, then said without much kindness, “With you like this, who would dare to bully you?”
“Of course, Grandfather, you should think not only about for me, but also for Xiao He and Xiao Bao. From my brother’s letter, it’s clear what she wants to do after she arrives. What if she scares Xiao Bao? He’s not even four yet,” Su Yu said, looking at Little Bao next to him with a furrowed brow.
This was the reason he didn’t want to bring his wife and child back.
“Using Xiao Bao as a shield, you’ve really grown up,” Yang Zhenwei said sarcastically.
However, what Su Yu said was also valid. What if Xiao Bao got scared?
“Alright, with me and your grandfather here, what can they dare to do?” Yang Zhenwei assured.
“Thank you, Grandfather. I’m going to find Xiao He.”
In the past few days, the village’s vegetables had grown well, and the villagers asked Wang Jinhe to help take a look.
Today, she went to the village head’s vegetable field.
Every time she went out, those lush green vegetables made Su Yu feel like there were silver coins flying in front of him.
Su Yu went out to find Wang Jinhe. After walking for a while, he saw Wang Jinhe coming back with a piece of meat.
“Where did this come from?” Su Yu asked curiously.
“Somebody in the village was selling pork, so I bought a bit to make braised pork at home,” Wang Jinhe explained briefly.
Su Yu nodded, indicating understanding. “By the way, how much longer until the vegetables in the village are ready for sale? I can’t wait.”
“It’ll take about another month. A large batch will be ready then. I’ve tried the vegetables they planted. Although the taste isn’t as good as the ones I grow, it’s much better than before,” Wang Jinhe said, looking at Su Yu. “This year, everyone should be able to make good money.”
“Now, my only concern is how to set the prices at that time,” Wang Jinhe added, expressing her current problem.
Su Yu looked mysteriously at Wang Jinhe, reached out to pinch her nose, and laughed, “Did you think I was asking for those vegetables for no reason? And the wine, both grape wine and strong spirits.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in confusion. What did he mean? Why did she feel like she didn’t understand at all?
“When you said you wanted to grow vegetables for sale, didn’t you still have plenty of vegetables here? Every day, after Yuan Bao picks them, I have someone deliver some and sell them to the nearby business partners. I told them it can nourish the body. It’s been almost two months now, and I’m sure the effects should be noticeable by now.” Accustomed to eating the vegetables from Wang Jinhe’s place, he knew they wouldn’t easily get used to vegetables from elsewhere.
It’s like giving the same person candy every day. If you suddenly stop, they’ll remember you and miss your candies.
Wang Jinhe gave Su Yu a thumbs up. At this moment, she had to admit that Su Yu was indeed very clever.
Patting Su Yu on the shoulder, Wang Jinhe said earnestly, “Su Yu, you’re amazing.”
It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.
This is an age-old truth. Once you get used to lavish meals, how could you settle for plain rice and simple dishes?
“Since you want to grow, and you want to involve the people from the village in growing, I naturally want you, and the people you bring, to make money. Don’t you agree?” Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with a smile in his eyes.
Wang Jinhe nodded continuously. “You’re right, Su Yu. Thank you.”
“Why be polite with me? We’ll soon be husband and wife. Helping you with things or you giving me orders is only natural. Let’s go home.” Su Yu took the pork from Wang Jinhe’s hand, and the two walked home hand in hand.
Seeing the two holding hands, the family members at home smiled. They were happy that the couple got along well.
