For the first time, the young driver felt that Su Manxiu had not married up to Minister Chen, but rather that Minister Chen was fortunate to have married Su Manxiu.
At this moment, he made a decision.
When he got married in the future, he should also choose a well-taught woman like Su Manxiu.
It was a pity that the old Su family had no girls of suitable age, otherwise she would definitely go and propose.
"Grandma Su, we're almost there."
The three of them, talking, had arrived at Chen Zi'an's doorstep.
Grandma Su patted her back and said, "This bumpy journey has really taken my old life. Oh dear, my old back!"
The cars at that time had hard benches, and the road conditions were not good. It was indeed not easy to travel all the way.
"Grandma, when we get home after getting off the car, I'll give you a massage!"
Little Zhu suddenly understood why Grandma Su had said earlier that her sons and grandsons at home were not as filial as the little child Su Xiaotian.
This child is indeed very sensible and lovable!
Little Zhu opened the car door and was about to help Grandma Su out when he heard noisy sounds from inside.
"What's going on? Why is the Minister shouting so loudly, who is he scolding?" Little Zhu asked doubtfully.
Grandma Su listened carefully, and her face changed on the spot.
How could she hear Su Manxiang's voice?
Could it be that this unpromising thing had come to the county town to find Manxiu?
Instantly, Grandma Su's face was covered in dark clouds.
While Grandma Su was stunned, several people suddenly saw Chen Zi'an carrying Kang Rende out.
Kang Rende was not tall and not very sturdy, while Chen Zi'an was tall and strong, and a skilled martial artist. He unceremoniously threw a grown man out at the doorway.
"Oh my, brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Kang Rende shouted.
But in a turn of his head, he saw Grandma Su.
Seeing Grandma Su, Kang Rende looked as if he had seen a savior.
"Aunt!" he called out immediately.
At the same time, Chen Zi'an also saw Grandma Su.
"Mom!" Chen Zi'an also called out.
He didn't say much, as he wanted to see what reaction Grandma Su would have when facing Su Manxiang and Kang Rende.
After all, for a long time to come, he would entrust his home to his mother-in-law's management.
If his mother-in-law was lenient towards these two, he would truly not be at ease!
"Zi'an, are Xiu'er and the baby doing well?" Grandma Su asked Chen Zi'an, ignoring Kang Rende.
With such an attitude, Chen Zi'an felt much more at ease.
"I should have dealt with this clearly earlier, and I apologize for you seeing this!"
Kang Rende was instantly petrified by Chen Zi'an's guilty words. What did this mean?
"Aunt, look, Manxiang and I came to see Big Sister with good intentions, why were we thrown out? This is looking down on poor relatives!" Kang Rende pretended to be very wronged.
Grandma Su knew what these two were thinking just by looking at Su Manxiang and her husband.
"Kang Rende, I know what you're thinking just by looking at your butt." Grandma Su retorted mercilessly.
"Aunt, why are you talking like that?" Kang Rende quickly defended himself, "I did some bad things before, but that was because I was young and ignorant."
"Mom, you are my own mother, you can't not take care of me!" Su Manxiang also cried and rushed towards Grandma Su.
Su Manxiu, that bitch, wouldn't let her visit and said that her parents didn't want her anymore, and she didn't have this sister.
She just wanted to see if her parents still wanted her.
"My sister is living a better life now and doesn't care about me, her own sister!" Su Manxiang complained as she did when she was little.
Su Xiaotian ignored the two of them and, afraid that Grandma Su would meddle, quickly tugged at Grandma Su's hand and walked towards Su Manxiu's room.
These two were truly like ghosts, lingering.
"Grandma, Big Aunt just gave birth to a little brother, let's go in quickly to see him, leave this matter to Big Aunt's husband!"
As Su Xiaotian finished speaking, she also curled her lips at Su Manxiang, looking very smug!
Provoked by this, Su Manxiang's anger flared up.
She was so angry that she rushed towards Su Xiaotian and swung her hand, intending to teach Su Xiaotian a lesson.
Seeing Su Manxiang rush over, Grandma Su naturally had to protect Su Xiaotian.
She pushed out her hand, and Su Manxiang, caught off guard, fell to the ground.
"Mom, why are you hitting me?" Su Manxiang exclaimed in disbelief.
Grandma Su's voice was icy, "Zi'an, at your doorstep, don't let unrelated people cause trouble."
Su Manxiang could do other things, but in front of her, she still wanted to hit her precious child.
Su Manxiang, as old as she was, was becoming more and more accomplished.
After saying this, Grandma Su walked into Chen Zi'an's house without looking back, not even giving Su Manxiang an extra glance.
Seeing Grandma Su enter, the two immediately wanted to follow.
Chen Zi'an looked coldly at the two still making a fuss.
"If you're not afraid of being arrested, then go ahead and make trouble!"
This sentence made Kang Rende instantly cower.
Yes, how could he forget that Chen Zi'an was the head of the county's armed forces department? With such a status, he might really find a few people to arrest the couple.
"Brother-in-law, look, we are family after all, Manxiang and Manxiu are sisters!" Kang Rende fawned with a flattering smile.
"Sisters? Does she deserve it?" Chen Zi'an said, then turned and went back into the yard.
If Su Manxiang were even a little better, he wouldn't have been so ruthless.
Little Zhu the driver looked at the scene before him and felt that his previous thoughts might have been a little off.
The Su family's upbringing was indeed good, but there were also instances where good bamboo produced bitter shoots.
Look, aren't these two before him troublesome?
Su Manxiang and Kang Rende looked at each other, unwilling to leave.
Little Zhu took out many things from the car and moved them into the yard one by one.
"Grandma Su is truly sincere, bringing so many things to help with confinement."
"This basket of eggs, there must be over a hundred, right?"
Little Zhu muttered as he moved the items.
Kang Rende and his wife watched, their eyes almost bulging out, wishing they could stick to those things.
"You said you were the most favored, I think your sister is!" Kang Rende glared at Su Manxiang and cursed.
With so many good things, why didn't they go to his own family?
"Why is my sister's face better than mine now? How dare you say that?" Su Manxiang retorted.
"What about me? What about me?" Kang Rende shouted loudly.
"Who told you you're incompetent? Look at my brother-in-law, he's a big official in the city. My mother and father naturally dote on him!"
"My favor in my maiden family is useless if you're incompetent!"
Su Manxiang felt extremely depressed when she mentioned this.
Clearly, she was more favored before, but now, her father and mother clearly favored Su Manxiu, who couldn't even utter a word when hit with three sticks.
Why was this happening?
It was all because Kang Rende was better than Wang Gouzi before, and now Chen Zi'an was better than Kang Rende?
No matter how much her parents said, it was just an excuse. The fundamental reason was that they were snobbish!
Su Manxiang herself was snobbish, so she felt that everyone in the world was snobbish.
At this moment, she couldn't remember how much her paternal grandfather and grandmother had doted on her before, giving her a lot of the family's grain and meat.
She only saw that the young driver brought a lot of things in, which were clearly brought from the old Su family.
Kang Rende didn't expect to be rebuked by Su Manxiang like this. He felt he had lost face and dignity, and swung his hand to hit Su Manxiang.
Su Manxiang quickly cried out loudly.
Grandma Su, who had just entered the room and saw Su Manxiu secretly weeping, frowned upon hearing Su Manxiang's wailing outside.
"Xiu'er, you are in confinement, you must not cry!" Grandma Su quickly comforted her eldest daughter.
"Mom, you're here? Xiang, she..."
"Don't mind her, that selfish person has long since been disowned by her parents and siblings." Grandma Su said with disgust.
After all, she was her own daughter. Even though she had spoken resolutely before, deep down, Grandma Su still thought that if Su Manxiang could repent, she would still want this daughter, but unfortunately, Su Manxiang had not shown any remorse until now.
This had broken Grandma Su's heart.
"Mom, she's not living well! Is it wrong for me not to help her?" Su Manxiu asked tentatively.
Su Manxiang's visit today was mainly to get Kang Rende's job transferred.
Kang Rende didn't want to continue working in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, mainly because everyone in the town's supply and marketing cooperative now disliked him.
He wanted to ask Chen Zi'an for help, preferably to get transferred to the county town at once, to be glorious.
In addition, he wanted to find a job for Su Manxiang, so that their family could live a better life.
If such a request were made politely, even if they didn't help, they wouldn't be thrown out directly.
But these two acted as if it was their due, without any pretense of asking for help, but rather as if they were doing you a favor by giving you an opportunity.
After Chen Zi'an clearly refused their request, they also morally blackmailed Su Manxiu and Chen Zi'an.
They acted as if you were not human if you didn't help them, which truly angered Chen Zi'an.
Chen Zi'an, in his life, hated being morally blackmailed the most.
In a fit of anger, he simply threw them out!
"She's pitiful? What's pitiful about her? Kang Rende has a job, he's a salesman. As long as the family lives a good life, they won't be too bad off!" Grandma Su said irritably.
This youngest daughter had been spoiled, and instead of living a good life, she always wanted to take advantage.
Su Manxiu remained silent.
"You child, you were always kind-hearted since you were little, and you always let her have her way. Now that you're living your own lives, you don't need to worry about her anymore," Grandma Su said earnestly.
Her eldest daughter was a good person, kind and soft-hearted, but such a personality was easily taken advantage of, especially when facing a black-hearted wolf.
It was also fortunate that her son-in-law was hard-hearted, which avoided a lot of trouble.
"Xiu'er, just listen to your mother. I'll deal with these two before I leave, and make sure they don't dare to bother you again."
Chen Zi'an entered the room and happened to hear his mother-in-law and wife talking, and immediately said.
"Yes, Zi'an, deal with it before you leave and don't let unrelated people disturb your wife!" Grandma Su strongly agreed with Chen Zi'an.
Manxiu had just given birth, and if she were bothered like this every day, it would be detrimental to her health.
It was unclear how Chen Zi'an managed it, but Su Manxiang and Kang Rende left.
Moreover, they never came to their door again for a long time.
The next morning, Chen Zi'an, with his wife and child taken care of, set off on his business trip with peace of mind.
After Chen Zi'an left, two women and two babies were left in the house.
Grandma Su had never lived in the city and was unfamiliar with everything in the city.
At first, she was very lost and didn't even know how to buy vegetables.
But there was rice and flour at home, and it wouldn't do without vegetables. Grandma Su was so anxious that she almost got angry.
Fortunately, Su Xiaotian was clever and smart, and her words were very sweet. She held Grandma Su's hand and went around outside, making friends with the neighbors while also learning where to buy vegetables and when to buy good vegetables.
After a round, she obtained such complete information that Grandma Su was astonished.
Grandma Su didn't know that Su Xiaotian had lived in the county town in her previous life and was familiar with many places in the county town, so asking around could solve the problem.
"You say, how is this child Xiaotian so smart?" Grandma Su brought Su Manxiu a poached egg and said with emotion.
"Our Su family's children are all smart." Su Manxiu took the bowl and chopsticks and followed Grandma Su's words.
"If this child weren't smart, I wouldn't even know where to buy vegetables," Grandma Su exclaimed. "Living in your city is really not easy. Even a scallion costs money. If it were in the production team, who wouldn't pull one from their own plot of land?"
"Mom, we have scallions in our yard!" Su Manxiu said with a smile.
"You child, I was just saying it casually." Grandma Su chided.
Chen Zi'an's small yard had a small patch of vegetable garden, planted with scallions, chives, and chili peppers.
Grandma Su felt that these few items were not suitable for Su Manxiu to eat at the moment, so she thought of buying vegetables.
Su Xiaotian was very interested in the newborn baby and was currently looking at the little one blowing bubbles.
"Xiaotian, has the baby changed today?" Grandma Su asked jokingly.
"Yes!" Su Xiaotian said happily about every little change, making Grandma Su astonished.
"Is there really such a big change?" Grandma Su almost couldn't believe it.
"Of course, Grandma!" Su Xiaotian nodded solemnly.
The little girl's nod was so gentle, as if she were afraid of startling the little one.
At this moment, the little one lying on the kang suddenly blew a bubble, as if responding to Su Xiaotian.
"Grandma, look, little brother is blowing bubbles again," Su Xiaotian said with a light smile.
She was indeed very interested in children, after all, she had never seen such a young child before.
Grandma Su and Su Manxiu both chuckled.
Looking at her granddaughter like this, Grandma Su said with a hint of disdain, "When we were at home, you said that with a little brother, I wouldn't love you anymore. I see, you have a little brother and don't want Grandma anymore!"
Su Xiaotian climbed down from the bed and hugged Grandma Su's waist.
"Grandma, how could that be? Xiaotian loves Grandma the most, even more than she loves her little brother!"
Su Manxiu couldn't help but chuckle. The conversation between the old and the young was truly amusing!
When did her mother become like this?
