Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

The aunt sighed, walked to Yi Zhonghai, patted him on the back gently, trying to calm him down.

"Don't be too angry, old man. Let's think of another way."

"This is the way the world is. We have to learn to adapt to the fickleness of human nature." The aunt's voice was soft but firm, as if she was holding up the sky for this precarious home.

However, Yi Zhonghai's anger did not subside.

He glared and gnashed his teeth as he said, "I can't swallow this! I must let Su Mu know the consequences of offending me, Yi Zhonghai!"

After saying that, he angrily walked into the inner room, leaving the helpless old lady sighing in the living room.

Xiaoyue heard the noise in the house and frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

She put down her sewing and went to the living room.

I saw my aunt sitting there with a sad face, while Yi Zhonghai went into the inner room angrily.

She hurried forward and asked softly, "Aunt, what happened? Could it be that Brother Su..."

Xiaoyue was interrupted by an old lady before she could finish her words.

The old lady forced a smile, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

She held Xiaoyue's hand and said earnestly, "Xiaoyue, it's not about Sumu, it's something else that makes your uncle unhappy."

"But now we have to focus on more important things."

At this point, Auntie paused and looked at Xiaoyue more firmly: "You have to hold onto Sumu's heart now, okay? He's a good kid, and good for you too. It's a blessing for you that our family can have such a marriage. You can't miss this opportunity."

When Xiaoyue heard this, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt shy and sweet in her heart.

She looked up at her aunt, her eyes flashing with seriousness and determination: "Aunt, I understand. I will try my best to be good to Brother Su, and I will let him know my feelings."

Seeing this, the aunt felt a little relieved.

She patted the back of Xiaoyue's hand and encouraged her, "That's right, Xiaoyue. You are smart and sensible. Auntie believes that you can do it. The future of our family depends entirely on you."

Xiaoyue nodded heavily, her heart full of determination and courage.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, night falls, and thousands of lights gradually illuminate the outline of the city.

Su Mu was home alone, busy in the kitchen, preparing a simple dinner.

The clinking of pots and pans and the aroma of food intertwined to create a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the silence in the room.

Su Mu put down the shovel in his hand, walked quickly to the door, opened it and took a look.

I saw Xiaoyue standing outside the door, her cheeks slightly red, and her head lowered shyly.

Her eyes were flashing with anticipation and nervousness, as if she had thousands of words to say.

"Xiao Yue." There was a hint of surprise in Su Mu's voice.

Xiaoyue raised her head, mustered up her courage, and said softly: "I...I want to come and see you, and by the way...by the way, help you cook some food."

Hearing this, Su Mu's mouth corners unconsciously raised, revealing a gentle smile.

He stepped aside to make room for Xiaoyue, and motioned for her to come in: "Come in, it's cold outside. Sit down and take a rest. I'll prepare the meal soon."

Xiaoyue nodded, walked into the house obediently and sat at the dining table.

She looked around and found that this small space was well-kept by Su Mu and was full of the breath of life.

A warm feeling surged in her heart, and her liking for Su Mu deepened.

However, she did not forget her original intention.

Looking at Su Mu's busy figure, she couldn't help but stand up, walked to the kitchen door, and said softly: "Brother Su, let me help you."

Su Mu turned around and looked at Xiaoyue's serious expression, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He smiled and shook his head: "No, Xiaoyue. You go sit down, I can do it alone. Besides, I like to cook for you."

Xiaoyue's cheeks turned even redder when she heard this. She pursed her lips and finally insisted: "But... I want to cook with you. In this way, the two of us can enjoy the process together."

Su Mu looked at Xiaoyue's determined eyes and finally compromised.

He nodded and smiled, "Okay then. But you better be careful not to get burned."

So, the two of them stood in the kitchen together and began preparing their dinner.

Su Mu patiently taught Xiaoyue how to cut vegetables and cook, and Xiaoyue carefully learned every step.

Although the process can be a bit hectic sometimes.

But their laughter and conversation filled the entire kitchen, making this small space even more warm and beautiful.

As the last dish was served on the table, the aroma of the food filled the entire room, making people salivate.

Sumu and Xiaoyue sat opposite each other, and the table was filled with delicious dishes, which were the result of their joint efforts.

The two began to eat in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Su Mu picked up food for Xiaoyue from time to time and asked her if the food suited her taste. Xiaoyue lowered her head shyly, savoring each dish in small bites, with a happy light in her eyes.

Halfway through the meal, Xiaoyue finally plucked up the courage to break the silence.

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks: "Brother Su, you asked me to come to you at night instead of during the day. Is it... is there something you want to say?" After saying this, she almost didn't dare to look up at Su Mu, for fear that he would see through her thoughts.

Su Mu heard this and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiaoyue tenderly, and said softly: "Don't panic, Xiaoyue. Let's enjoy this meal first. After all, how can we live up to this kindness when we have delicious food in front of us?"

Xiaoyue was still a little nervous when she heard this, but she was also amused by Su Mu's words.

She nodded and continued to eat, but the anticipation in her heart was like a ignited flame, burning brighter and brighter.

After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes and sat on the sofa to rest.

Su Mu looked at Xiaoyue, his eyes flashing with seriousness: "Xiaoyue, actually I called you here today because I want to tell you something from my heart."

Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat. She clenched her hands nervously and looked up at Su Mu.

Su Mu took a deep breath and continued, "During this period of time, I found that I like being with you more and more."

"Your gentleness, kindness and strength all deeply attract me. I know there may be many unknowns and challenges between us, but I am willing to face them with you."

Having said that, Su Mu paused, as if waiting for Xiaoyue's reaction.

When Xiaoyue heard this, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

She never thought that the feelings in her heart would be responded to by Su Mu.
