Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"Late night."

Just as I closed the door, a voice suddenly came from the door -

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Su Wanwan wailed in her heart.

I finally managed to avoid my third sister-in-law Jiang Panhua, but how come I was discovered by my eldest sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen!

"I just got up to go to the bathroom. What were you doing out there in the middle of the night?"

Su Wanwan opened the door a crack and pulled her sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen into the house. She took a look at the movement outside and confirmed that only her sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen was up. Only then did she quietly feel relieved and lit a small kerosene lamp.

The kerosene lamp only illuminated two or three meters. With this weak light, Su Wanwan quickly moved the box under the bed, placed the storybook at the head of the bed, and pushed the remaining balls of thread in front of her sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I just went out to do some things, and I just wanted to find you and mother."

When they watched a movie in town before, she specifically reminded her sister-in-law to remember to leave the door open at night so that she could deliver things like balls of thread.

Now that her sister-in-law gets up at night by herself, she doesn't need to find an opportunity to send it there. She can just tell her about these things directly.

"Are these new balls of string brought by the man you contacted in town?"

Sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen has always known Su Wanwan's abilities, and Su Wanwan also believes that she has always kept her mouth shut, so there is no need to explain too much about what happened tonight.

After simply taking a look at the quality of these balls of thread, Jiang Shuzhen couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"The quality of this ball of yarn is much better than the last one, and there are so many colors that were not available before. The cloaks woven with this yarn will definitely be much better looking than the last few."

My sister-in-law played with these balls of thread like they were treasures and couldn't let them go.

Su Wanwan could already imagine her mother Zhao Ying's excited expression when she saw these balls of thread.

In a hurry, Su Wanwan stroked her lips and lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law, find a suitable time tomorrow to move these things to mother's bedroom, and then we can quietly weave them ourselves. But don't let Third Sister-in-law know, she is always mysterious, and I don't know what she is up to. We have finally got this opportunity to make some extra money, and we must not let others make trouble out of nothing."

As Su Wanwan spoke, she took out the money she had already counted for her sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen from her pocket.

Naturally, she would not give all the compensation Xu Yan paid her to her sister-in-law and mother.

Although my mother is the head of the family, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have already started their own families. If all the money is given to my mother and then she passes it on to my sister-in-law, there will always be a gap.

Therefore, Su Wanwan decided to give the remuneration to her sister-in-law and mother respectively to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Jiang Shuzhen took the change handed to her by Su Wanwan and counted it several times under the dim light.

"That's so much... Four dollars!"

Jiang Shuzhen, who had never had a proper job in the village and just stayed at home to take care of the children and do housework, rarely got so much money at once. She was so excited that she stuttered.

"That's just the beginning. As long as you and mother spend more time weaving these cloaks every day, we can make more money after selling them."

After sending Jiang Shuzhen back to the bedroom, Su Wanwan saved the money to give to her mother tomorrow and went to bed with a little trepidation.

"Sister-in-law, the sun is rising from the west? What makes you so happy?"

Because she had sneaked out to climb the mountain last night, Su Wanwan's eyelids were extremely heavy in the early morning, but she still relied on her willpower to get out of bed.

After all, she still has to go to the radio station to broadcast in the morning.

Feeling the pain in her waist and knees caused by lack of sleep, Su Wanwan shook her stiff back while groggy after getting up, and happened to hear Jiang Panhua's sarcastic tone outside.

"Does your sister-in-law have to tell you whether she is happy or not?"

Zhao Ying was still angry with Jiang Panhua, and she responded to every word Jiang Panhua said.

The sounds of spatulas and chopsticks were heard in the kitchen. When Su Wanwan got dressed, she took a look at the box that she had temporarily placed under the bed last night and found that it had been quietly taken away.

It doesn't take much thought to know that my sister-in-law must have gotten up earlier than everyone else, discussed with my mother in advance, and moved the box to my mother's bedroom.

Since Jiang Panhua and her third brother Su Di lived in the house on the west side, they naturally did not notice it.

"You can't say that. After all, we are a family. Wouldn't it be better to talk about the good news and make everyone happy together?" Zhao Ying was already accustomed to Jiang Panhua's nitpicking. Jiang Panhua's expression remained unchanged, and she reached out to grab her son Qinghe.

Qinghe, who had lived in Su Gao and Jiang Shuzhen's home for a while, naturally did not want to return to his mother. After all, his injuries had just healed and the scars had not yet faded.

Jiang Panhua's hand reached out but fell short, anger immediately welling up on her brows. She wanted to scold Qing He, but Su Di quickly blocked her sight.

"Don't you think this house is messy enough because of you?" Su Di's voice was very low, his eyes full of disgust.

Su Wanwan saw the look in her third brother's eyes from a distance.

"Okay, let's eat!"

As a wave of hot air gushed out of the kitchen, all the food that had just been taken out of the big pot was brought to the dining table.

After washing her hands, Su Wanwan also took a few bowls. The children had watched a movie last night and were in a particularly good mood today. They ran around the house and climbed onto the stools, ready to eat meat.

"Don't be anxious, here you go, it's yours." Zhao Ying sat in the main seat as usual and distributed meat to the bowls of the whole family. As expected, Su Wanwan's bowl still had the most meat.

But after all, my family can eat meat every day, so we don’t care too much whether they eat more or less.

This breakfast was no different from any other. Jiang Panhua had just been criticized by Su Di, so she couldn't say anything for the time being.

But her eyes would occasionally sweep over Qinghe who was sitting next to Jiang Shuzhen at the dining table.

"Third sister-in-law, what are you looking at? Qinghe lives with the eldest sister-in-law and the others now, so it's normal for them to sit close to each other."

Su Wanwan took a bite of the stew and counterattacked on behalf of Xiao Qinghe.

In her opinion, although Xiao Qinghe has moved into his uncle and aunt's house, he still lives a very depressed life every day. After all, he meets his mother every day, and even gets criticized by her eyes when he eats at the dinner table.

"No matter who he lives with, he is my own son. Even if his bones are broken, the tendons are still connected." Jiang Panhua responded in a low voice and lowered her head to eat, fearing that Su Di would scold her again.

"By the way, Mom, we don't have much clothes at home today, so I won't go to the river to wash them. We'll wash them together tomorrow." Jiang Panhua looked up and said halfway through the meal.

She still doesn’t know what Su Wanwan brought back from outside last night, so she has to stay at home today and observe carefully.

Maybe her mother-in-law and this taciturn sister-in-law were doing something behind her back and deliberately hiding it from her.

While eating breakfast, Su Wanwan quietly stuffed the money that belonged to her mother Zhao Ying into her hands, then carried her army green bag and set off for the radio station.

Before leaving, she took with her a few storybooks that Xu Yan had brought her in town last night.

"Why is your bag so much fatter than usual today? Did you bring something from home?"
