That evening, Ding Anping was still fishing for eels and soft-shell turtles with a flashlight.
Su Ming was cooking dinner for Su Xue at home.
In rural areas in September, the temperature still has not dropped significantly.
During the day, mosquitoes hide on the shady well walls or in the corners of the eaves to enjoy the shade.
But in the evening, the sun disappeared and the wind began to feel a little cool.
The mosquitoes immediately went to work. Su Xue was young and had delicate skin, so she naturally became the favorite of mosquitoes.
Zhu Guiying felt distressed when she saw Su Xue who didn't like smelling mosquito coils and could only keep swatting the mosquitoes, so she sat next to Su Xue and used a fan to fan Su Xue against the mosquitoes.
Su Ming is going to cook a bowl of radish and pork ribs soup with some fried vegetables for dinner today.
When the weather is hot, dishes with soup will be more comfortable to eat and will not taste dry.
The aroma of pork ribs wafts in the wind.
It made all the neighborhood children salivate.
When Su Ming cooked dinner and prepared to set a table in the yard for dinner.
I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Hey, Zhu Qingyong came here very early today. It seems that the harvest is very rich." Su Ming joked with a smile, thinking that Zhu Qingyong came back after collecting the lobsters.
"Creak"
After the door opens.
Su Ming was stunned.
The person standing at the door was not Ding Anping or Zhu Qingyong. It was Su Ming's brother-in-law, Su Xinquan.
Su Xinquan is fair and fat. People who don't know better would think that he is a boss, but in fact he is just a farmer.
And his snow-white skin also proves that this guy probably doesn't go to the fields very much and is a pseudo-farmer.
Su Ming didn't have a good impression of Su Xinquan. In the memory of his previous life, this guy had always been a person who only knew how to get money, and he was very similar to Su Caijuan.
Su Ming's grandparents gave birth to three children.
The eldest son Su Xinhai is Su Ming's father, the second is daughter Su Caijuan, and the third is Su Xinquan.
Everyone likes their eldest son, but Su Ming's grandmother doted on Su Xinquan and often used the money from Su Xinhai's family to support Su Xinquan.
Moreover, in a family of three, only Su Xinhai is an honest person, while the other two are just like grandma, very smart.
In the past, Su Ming's family had good conditions, so he didn't care about these things. They were all relatives, so he would help as much as he could.
But after Su Ming's family fell into decline, these relatives suddenly seemed to have disappeared.
I went to borrow money and said I didn't have it, but I just bought this and that.
It completely chilled Su Ming's heart.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Su Ming looked at Su Xinquan who was standing at the door and kept looking in, and said coldly.
Su Xinquan looked arrogant: "I came here to check on your grandma. It is said that your family has been eating and drinking every day lately. Why don't you, a grandson, miss your grandma at all? Your father goes out to work while you are at home.
You have to take good care of your grandma for your father!"
Listening to Su Xinquan's words, Su Ming felt sick. You have the nerve to say this.
Su Ming's mother died early. In his previous life, Su Xinhai sent all the money he earned from working outside to Su Ming's grandma, asking her to help take care of Su Xue. Because he gave the money to Su Ming, he was worried that Su Ming would do whatever he wanted.
Spend it.
The result was good, until Su Ming learned about the death of his father Su Xinhai, he had not received a penny.
It wasn't until many years after Su Xinhai's death that Su Ming's sisters told Su Ming that they had borrowed money from their grandmother because they didn't have enough money, but they didn't even give her a share, and even said bad things to her.
Su Ming knew that all this money had gone into Su Xinquan's mouth. How could his grandma get it back?
It's okay if he can't use it, but it's a big deal if even Su Xinhai can't use the money he earned.
He once had a falling out with his grandmother's family because of this.
Now, Su Xinhai has been working out for two years.
Su Ming's grandmother's family must have been collecting money from Su Xinhai for two years.
Mobile phones are not developed now, so Su Ming has no way to contact Su Xinhai and tell him that he has changed his appearance and should stop sending money to his grandma.
We can only wait until the Chinese New Year to see if he comes back.
"Grandma, don't you have a filial son like you? Do you still need me to take care of you?" Su Ming put his hands across his chest, blocking the door and not letting Su Xinquan in.
"Look at you kid, how can you say that? Your grandma is the mother of me, your father, and your aunt. How can I be filial enough on my own!" Su Xinquan was so shameless that he really agreed to this big deal.
The name of a dutiful son.
This made Su Ming despise his uncle even more from the bottom of his heart. During the two years when he was poor, he was like a chicken hiding from the plague. Now that he has some money, he keeps coming back. Today, I won't let you take it away no matter what you say.
One penny, one thread.
"Don't my dad give grandma money every year? Not all of this money is for grandma, but some of it is for me? I haven't even asked grandma to get it. I've been very poor recently. It seems I have to find time.
Go get it”
Su Ming directly talked about the money issue.
Sure enough, when Su Xinquan heard that Su Ming was going to get the money, his expression immediately changed.
"Where is it? Who are you listening to?" Su Xinquan's throat sounded, but the panic in his eyes said everything.
"It doesn't matter who I heard it from." Su Ming was very indifferent.
"Nothing, don't believe other people's words to sow discord." After Su Xinquan finished speaking, he swallowed again: "Your grandma has a bad appetite recently. Why don't you give me five hundred and thousand to buy some supplements for your grandma?"
Su Ming was amused after hearing this. Grandma has a bad appetite. I have to spend money to buy supplements. I'm afraid you two are too stingy and feed the old man porridge every day.
