Chapter 95: Chapter 95, but I’m the most promising!
Chapter 95 -95, but I’m the most promising!
“Is it really that simple?”
As Su Chenghe had expected, the Wang family, having suffered such a loss, naturally wouldn’t let it go and immediately cut ties with their eldest daughter.
The whole family was stunned when they heard this, looking at each other, at a loss for words for a moment.
Second Sister-in-law Su was quite open-minded and waved her hand dismissively, “It’s fine. I’ve seen the Wang family for what they really are, just trying to fleece me.
It’s just a pity that I couldn’t beat them on my own, but I still managed to scratch both Wang Xiaobao and his wife until their faces bled.”
As she spoke, she let out a few proud laughs, but then she accidentally touched her wound and immediately winced in pain.
Everyone was amused and lightened up considerably around the dinner table.
Since his two sons were still relying on Eldest Sister-in-law Su for help, Su Chenghe took his wife to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candies and then saw her off on a ride back to the county.
Aunt Su was left behind for a short stay and was currently amusing An’an, one of the triplets.

The little guy wasn’t timid; seeing unfamiliar people, he curiously stared with his big round eyes.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Sun came over with his wife right after work, their bicycle’s basket still hanging with a net bag.
“Little Aunt, I’ve brought Xian Yue over to scrounge a meal,” he said.
Mrs. Lu scolded playfully, “If you’re coming, just come, no need to bring anything.”
Xian Yue tenderly smiled with her hands on her belly, “It’s nothing valuable. The fish were caught by a fellow villager in a nearby village.”
“Alright, The Little Aunt will stew the fish later, everyone can have a taste,” Mrs. Lu said as she went out to prepare the fish.
“Second Sister-in-law is really impressive, actually managing to get one thousand yuan back from her parents’ home?”
Su Xianyue was astounded by how her mother told her about the kooky way her sister-in-law got the money back from the Wang family.
But this was also good, as it spared Second Sister-in-law from always bragging and even scrimping on the food in her sons’ mouths to give to her parents and younger brother.
Aunt Liu Fen nodded, “I just hope from now on Second Sister-in-law will live well with your second brother and stop causing trouble.”
Susu listened silently and was quite impressed with Su Chenghe’s wife, a true ‘brother-supporting demon’ of the era, able to see clearly the leeches in her own family, and timely extricating herself was excellent indeed.
“By the way, Xian Yue, I’ve been counting the days, and you’re due soon. Do you want to start your maternity leave early? Standing all day with a big belly must be tough,” she said.
Su Xianyue looked down at her stomach, her face a blend of tenderness and determination, “Second Sister-in-law, if I feel even a little discomfort, I will certainly speak up.
We’re all used to working hard. In the old days in the countryside, many people worked right up until they gave birth, and the babies were born in the fields.
Moreover, if I have to sit idle at home doing nothing, I’m certain I would find it unbearable.”
Susu turned to Xiao Sun beside her, “What do you think, Xiao Sun?”
“Second Sister-in-law, I’ll listen to Xian Yue. I’ve already spoken to our landlord. When the time comes, we’ll rent another room and have our grandparents come to help look after the child.”
Aunt Liu Fen initially planned to take care of her daughter’s postpartum needs but thought about the shortage of staff at the shop if she left, and besides, the child’s paternal grandparents were good people.
So she decided to follow her daughter’s wishes and help out at the Little Aunt’s shop more.
With a whole family around, as soon as the triplets on the heated brick bed started to fuss, someone was immediately there to pick them up and soothe them.
After feeding her niece and nephew until they were full, Susu took advantage of the many family members available to watch over the kids and rode her bicycle to the brine goods shop.
“Susu? Take a seat for a bit.”
When Susu arrived, Sister Hong was busy serving customers, but as soon as she was done with several of them, she quickly came out to greet her.
“Susu, these are the accounts for the past half month.”
Wang Hong first took out the ledger, discussed the business at hand, and then asked about the triplets.
“Sister Hong, I just took advantage of the triplets being asleep to come over and check. The main issue is that the second and third refuse to drink formula milk. They would rather cry themselves hoarse than drink it.
Otherwise, if they could drink formula milk like the eldest, with my mother-in-law and Little Aunt at home, I would be able to stay out a little longer.”
Wang Hong’s face was full of envy, “Susu, your in-laws are really good to you. Unlike my biased mother-in-law. When I was giving birth, I was working in the fields up until the labor pains started.
I only rested at home for half a day on the day I gave birth, and had to work in the fields the next day. Even then, I was only allowed to rest because my husband insisted I lie down. Despite that, my mother-in-law cursed me from morning until night.
Back then, I was also young. When my mother-in-law would curse outside, I would hold the baby and cry inside the house.”
Susu sighed. No matter when, women’s situations were the same, particularly difficult in this era that favored boys over girls.
She patted Sister Hong’s hand to comfort her, “Sister Hong, it’s all in the past. There are better days ahead. The more others look down on us, the harder we work to live well, just to spite them.”
Wang Hong’s eyes, full of fine lines, brightened, nodding vigorously.
“Susu is right! Now my husband is in good health, the children are obedient and sensible, and I earn more each month than a regular worker. I just want to make those who looked down on me green with envy.”
“Exactly! The more you look down on me, the more I’ll prove you wrong!!!”
Wang Hong watched the woman’s petite figure leave, her heart burning with fervor. So much so, that she went directly to the doorway and started hollering.
“Marinated goodies, aroma wafting through the air, so delicious it will make your tongue melt…”
A young man passing by on a bicycle was startled by the sudden shout. He wobbled on his bike, stopped, and turned to look at the source of the voice.
Out of curiosity, he asked, “Hey big sister, is it really that good?”
Wang Hong looked at the young man’s skeptical face and wasn’t the least bit angry. She greeted him with a smile,
“Comrade, you can come and try. If it’s not good, you don’t have to buy.”
The young man simply pushed his bicycle over and, after seeing the marinated delicacies that whetted both the eye and the appetite, his eyes lit up after trying them.
“Wow, not bad at all! Give me a kilo of each. How much is it?”
…
Leaving the shop, Susu went straight to the marinated food courtyard to check on hygiene and ingredients. Confirming there were no issues, she put the ledger into her shoulder bag and hurried back home.
“Eh? Doesn’t that look a lot like Lu Gong’an’s wife, Xiao Su?”
“Oh my, isn’t that her!”
The woman carrying a basket slapped her thigh excitedly and called out, “Xiao Su, Xiao Su!”
“Sister Wang, are you just back from buying groceries?” Susu greeted everyone cheerfully as she pushed her bike.
“Isn’t that the truth. What were you up to?”
“Right, I heard from Lu Gong’an that you gave birth to triplets. No wonder your stomach was so big after just a few months. It turns out it was triplets.”
“Wow, I’m so envious, you’ve got both sons and daughters now. No need to worry about not having a boy first…”
“Mr. Lu really is a good man! He’s so caring for his wife…”
Sister Wang, with a smile on her face, changed the subject, “Why didn’t you throw a full-moon party for the kids?”
“Back then, my mother-in-law insisted I take a double confinement to avoid too much disturbance from visitors, so we just celebrated by ourselves. I suppose we’ll have a big celebration for their first birthday.”
