Su Chong also told Su Sanlang and Zhao about the matter.
After Su Chong finished speaking, Su Sanlang said to Su Chong calmly: "Mom and dad know, it's getting late, go back to the room and sleep."
Su Sanlang was just calm on the surface and kept calm in front of his son.
Su Chong nodded, stood up and silently exited and closed the door. He had already told his parents about this.
After Su Chong left, Su Sanlang relaxed.
He let out a long and uncomfortable sigh: "My dear, I don't feel very well."
He felt bad that Su Xiaozhi had to endure all this, and he felt bad that the Su family had no affection for Su Xiaozhi. They were just like a leech in the field, only sucking blood when attached, and wishing they could suck it dry.
Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand and gently stroked Su Sanlang's back. She said gently: "Daddy, this matter is not something we can interfere with. I think Aunt Cao is right. Xiaozhi is now a member of the Hu family. She should know better.
As for her identity, Aunt Cao might as well take care of her."
The Cao family is a gentle person. If she hadn't been so disappointed in Su Xiaozhi, I believe she wouldn't have acted like her mother-in-law.
It has been more than ten years since Su Xiaozhi married the Hu family's daughter-in-law. In the past ten years, even if Hu Daniu died, she had not made any show of it. Now she was suddenly harsh on Su Xiaozhi, and there was nothing she could do.
Just like what Cao said, the Su family bullied the entire Hu family.
Su Sanlang sighed: "You are right, her affairs have nothing to do with us. From now on, she will work hard and her wages will be paid, and forget about the rest."
Su Xiaozhi, after all, helped him when he was in the most difficult time, and he also returned the favor when Su Xiaozhi was in trouble.
There is no need to owe each other this way. If reconciliation can be achieved, then we can go a long way together and he will be more considerate.
Like now, when Su Xiaozhi took the money to go to Xiaozhong, he couldn't accept it, so he could only slowly become indifferent.
"Let's go to bed, it's getting late."
Su Sanlang thought more and felt better.
Mrs. Zhao nodded, and the two of them fell asleep. Mrs. Zhao leaned against Su Sanlang. After a while, she finally said, "Dad, just let Aunt Cao make the decision regarding Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi will understand in the future."
Maybe she can't stand Cao's harshness at first and will feel resentful, but as time goes by, she will understand.
At this time, it is not advisable to interfere too much.
Su Sanlang said: "I understand. If Aunt Cao comes to pay her the salary, I will promise her that Xiaozhi has no money."
Even if the money is in Su Xiaozhi's hands, she can't keep it.
Seeing Su Sanlang thinking this way, Mrs. Zhao was relieved.
The couple hugged each other and slept.
——
The next day, Ms. Cao got up just after dawn. She knocked on the door and asked Su Xiaozhi to get up.
Su Xiaozhi cried all night and fell asleep in a daze just before dawn. She was a little confused when she was called out.
Mrs. Cao looked at Su Xiaozhi's bruised and swollen face, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly hidden.
Ms. Cao said coldly: "Let's go, I'll go find them to settle the score. You have to give me an explanation no matter what!"
Ms. Cao asked Su Xiaozhi to get out of bed quickly.
Su Xiaozhi was confused and a little scared: "Mom, can you not go?"
Seeing that she just wanted to escape, Mrs. Cao felt very disappointed. She said with a cold face: "What's there to be afraid of? You have to go today, and you have to go if you don't. If you don't go, I'll postpone it tomorrow."
The matchmaker will arrange a marriage for you."
Su Xiaozhi opened her eyes wide, filled with disbelief.
Overnight, the mother-in-law she was familiar with became a stranger, which frightened her.
Seeing Su Xiaozhi like this, Mrs. Cao turned away from her and said coldly: "Come out quickly."
Hu Shuangshuang, Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang got up, but they were also timid.
Mrs. Cao said to them: "Shuangshuang, cook the rice, and Changshou Changyang will also help."
After arranging several children, Su Xiaozhi slowly came out. Her face was ugly and she lowered her head, not wanting the children to see her.
She still said weakly: "Mom, can you not go? I will never see them again."
Mrs. Cao walked up to her, pinched her chin and raised her face.
Su Xiaozhi panicked.
Hu Shuangshuang, Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang were both shocked. They came to Su Xiaozhi worriedly and asked angrily: "Mom, who hit you?"
Hu Changshou clenched his fists: "Mom, who bullied you? Tell me and I'll beat him up!"
Su Xiaozhi wanted to hide, but Cao refused. Su Xiaozhi felt painful and embarrassed, and her tears fell down.
She couldn't say anything, but Mrs. Cao told the three children seriously: "Shuangshuang, longevity and Changyang. Your mother was beaten by the shameless Su family. Your mother married into the Hu family, and she is a member of our family. They
By beating your mother, you are insulting us. Now I have to go to them to settle the score. Can you tell me, should I go?"
"Nai, I'll go with you."
There was anger in Hu Changshou's eyes. When his father left, he said that he would be the head of the family from now on and he would protect the family.
Hu Shuangshuang also bit her lip, holding back her tears, and gritted her teeth and said, "Nai, I'm going too, I can't let my mother be bullied like this."
Hu Changyang also said firmly: "Nai, I want to go too."
Ms. Cao looked at the three children. Fortunately, they all had good temperament. Ms. Cao nodded: "Okay, then let's go together."
Su Xiaozhi was startled and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Mrs. Cao took her family out and went straight to the village chief's house.
Mr. Wang has been dealing with the Su Sanlang family and is very familiar with the Cao family.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Wang's family were all at home, and the Wang family's wives were washing their bedding and clothes. When they saw Mr. Cao, they all smiled and said hello: "Good morning, Aunt Cao."
Ms. Cao nodded.
Looking at the Cao family, the Wang family's daughter-in-law shouted into the room: "Dad, Aunt Cao of the Hu family is looking for you."
Mr. Wang responded in the room and came out soon.
Ms. Cao didn't mince words and said directly: "Village Chief Wang, you have to help me explain this matter properly. My Hu family does not have no heirs, so I cannot tolerate being bullied like this."
Listening to Mrs. Cao's tone, Mr. Wang quickly asked, "What's going on with the Hu family?"
Mrs. Cao pulled Su Xiaozhi to her face, raised her face, and said angrily: "Village chief, take a good look and see how my daughter-in-law was beaten. She is also bruised and bruised from being pinched."
Yes, tell me, can you bully people like this?"
Su Xiaozhi's face was swollen, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She lowered her eyes and looked at her helplessly.
Mr. Wang was shocked and asked quickly: "What's going on? Who hit Xiaozhi?"
Su Xiaozhi was at a loss. She moved her lips but didn't say anything.
Ms. Cao was very stubborn, and she knew better that she had to take the responsibility for this matter by herself. Ms. Cao said to Mr. Wang: "It was the Su family who beat me. The reason was that they instigated Su Xiaozhi to take money from the Hu family and ask for it."
When Su Xiaozhi couldn't take out too much, they took action. After all the ups and downs, they took eighteen or two hundred Wen from my Hu family."
