Chapter 60 Uncle's Purpose

"not see!"

Mother Xu hugged her little son and turned back to the house, but the messenger reminded her, "Your family is in the town at the foot of the mountain. If you don't go to see them, they won't leave. You know the situation in our town. If we dig a tunnel and they find out, who knows if they'll tell the Japanese?"

This reminded Old Lady Xu, who was indeed curious about the situation of her daughter-in-law's family.

Xu's mother looked very unhappy, but she also knew that the overall situation was more important, so she could only change her clothes and let Xu's father carry her down the mountain on a donkey.

Old Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu next to them were about to go over together.

When you meet someone from your in-laws for the first time, you always have to take it seriously.

As Xu's mother's daughter, Xu Xiaoya must go along. The reason why Xiao Shisi is not brought along is because he is too young and any problem may easily hurt him. It is better to leave him at home and be taken care of by his aunt.

On the way down the mountain, Xu Xiaoya curiously inquired about Xu's mother's family, after all, it was related to her.

"When we meet someone later, no matter who it is, I won't let you speak, so don't speak!"

After Xu's mother repeatedly instructed, Xu Xiaoya could only nod and agree.

This made Xu's mother satisfied.

When they arrived in the town, they did not rest immediately, but went to meet the newcomers.

"Su Ziqing, are you getting too bold? If your in-laws hadn't sent a letter home, we wouldn't have known you secretly married and had a child!"

When Su Wenshu saw Xu's mother appear, the worry he had been feeling all the way was finally realized. But when he saw how weak Xu's mother looked, he became even more furious.

"My affairs have nothing to do with you!"

Xu's mother's face was full of resistance, but her eyes were still red.

Father Xu helped Mother Xu sit down, and then greeted Su Wenshu: "Brother-in-law, let's sit down first. Ziqing is still a little weak!"

Su Wenshu glanced at Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu, and the expression on his face softened, but he did not acknowledge Xu's father as his brother-in-law.

"Who are you? I'm not your brother-in-law. What procedures did you follow to get three letters and six engagements? Do you know what my sister's condition is like? How dare you kidnap her and cut off contact with her family?"

The angry questioning was met with an awkward smile from Xu's father.

He just smiled along.

On the contrary, Xu's mother couldn't stand it any longer: "Su Wenshu, that's enough. I was the one who asked him to marry me. If he hadn't helped me, I would have died long ago. Why do you have to question me? Is the three letters and six betrothal gifts such a great thing? Without them, I can't get married? You used the three letters and six betrothal gifts to marry my sister-in-law, but what happened? Are you good to my sister-in-law? You bring one concubine after another back to disgust her?"

Xu's mother, who was usually gentle, suddenly had a complete outburst. It didn't scare Su Wenshu, but it scared the Xu family.

Even Xu's father was a little shocked. He probably had never seen his wife like this.

"We are talking about your business, what do you say I do?"

Su Wenshu was very embarrassed and coughed lightly to remind her: "Besides, I'm just talking about him. As his brother-in-law, can't I say anything about him?"

Mother Xu nodded: "You really can't blame him. If you hadn't forced me to marry a damn bastard, I wouldn't have almost lost my life. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago!"

Father Xu was pulled behind Mother Xu, and to be honest, he felt a little embarrassed to be protected by his wife.

In the end, Su Wenshu compromised. He came to see his sister, not to quarrel.

"Okay, sit down and let's talk. I came here just to see how you're doing. If you're not happy, come back with me. Mom and Dad are both thinking about you!"

Su Wenshu tried to make Xu's mother understand the purpose of his visit, but Xu's mother refused to cooperate: "They say a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. I was sold by you once, and I luckily survived. Now if I marry again, it has nothing to do with you!"

The harsh words were meant to irritate Su Wenshu.

Seeing that if the two of them continued talking, they would definitely start fighting, Old Mrs. Xu asked Father Xu to take the man to the inner room to calm down, and she asked Su Wenshu to sit down.

"Nephew, I, an old woman, have the audacity to accept your marriage. My youngest wife is a good child who has endured a lot of hardships. As her brother, how can you, without feeling sorry for her, cause her trouble?"

It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Su Wenshu felt that Old Lady Xu was his elder and could not be rude to her. He could only smile awkwardly.

No matter what the situation was, as long as he was able to save Su Ziqing and not let her suffer over the years, it can be said that he did a very good job.

"Aunt, I don't mean to upset her. She's been fine all these years, but she didn't even think to write a letter home. My parents have always blamed themselves, thinking that she had met with an accident. She hasn't been able to eat or sleep well in the past few years!"

Old Mrs. Xu chatted for a while, and it was nothing more than each of them talking about their own difficulties. Finally, after the polite words were over, Su Wenshu also noticed Xu Xiaoya.

"Is this Xiaoya? She's already this big?"

Su Wenshu already knew that his sister had given birth to a daughter, and heard that she was very rich. He originally thought that a baby could not be very rich, but when he saw Xu Xiaoya nestling calmly in Old Lady Xu's arms, looking at him from time to time, and even pouting when he said some polite words.

Unlike Xu Dagu's husband who is a wealthy man, although the Su family is not a family of scholars, it is a family status accumulated by several generations, and they are still very good at judging people.

Su Wenshu could tell at a glance that Xu Xiaoya was special. She didn't look like a three-year-old baby at all. She looked more like a little adult, and she could understand what he said.

"Uncle, you are so smart!"

Xu Xiaoya smiled, and her small teeth looked particularly adorable, but the words she said didn't sound like a compliment, but more like a mockery.

Su Wenshu reached out to hug Xu Xiaoya, who didn't refuse. She just reminded him, "Uncle, I'm very heavy, please hold me tight!"

"Don't worry, although your uncle is not young anymore, it's still easy for him to hold you!"

Xu Xiaoya sat down in Su Wenshu's arms from Old Lady Xu's arms. She asked bluntly, "Uncle, why were you so mean to my mother just now? I've never seen her lose her temper since I was a child!"

Children's innocent words are the most deadly, and Su Wenshu's face turned a little red.

He naturally knew that his sister had a gentle personality and rarely lost her temper. Even if she was angry, she would just sulk and rarely show it.

"It's my uncle who's too anxious. Can you please say sorry to your mother for me?"

Su Wenshu thought Xu Xiaoya would agree, but Xu Xiaoya just spread her hands and said, "Benefits!"

Old Mrs. Xu tried to pull Xu Xiaoya, but Su Wenshu was just stunned for a moment and then smiled. He took out a pocket watch from his arms and put it in Xu Xiaoya's palm.

"Give!"

Xu Xiaoya was very satisfied. The outer shell of this pocket watch was made of gold. She didn't know what the watch inside was made of, but it looked like it was definitely not cheap.

With the bribe, Xu Xiaoya became sweet-mouthed, and Su Wenshu even said that it would be great if Xu Xiaoya was his daughter.

Xu Xiaoya knew that Old Lady Xu and Su Wenshu must have something else to say, so she said she was going to see Xu's mother and left on the way.

Xu Xiaoya was not interested at all in what Xu's mother talked about with Su Wenshu next. She was curious about what Xu's mother would do and whether she should go back with her.

"No, I said I will never go back in this life!"

Xu's mother also gave her own answer, but Xu's father reminded her: "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. It's just that Erni is using you to get close to your family. She's also involved with the Japanese. Won't it bring trouble to your family in the future?"

Father Xu didn't understand those big principles, but he also knew that Erni used Xu's mother's relationship to get close to the Su family. If something happened in the future, Xu's mother would most likely be implicated.

When mentioning this matter, Xu's mother got angry. She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted at the beginning, and ended up being schemed against by a little kid like Erni.

"Your aunt is a piece of shit. She can't behave herself, so why would she take advantage of my identity?"

The couple complained and grumbled, but Xu Xiaoya, who was sitting next to them eating snacks, was speechless.

With this IQ, it's no wonder that she can only come back and listen to Old Lady Xu's arrangements. The combined brains of the two of them are not as good as hers, a high school student.

"It's a headache! Mother, is there a possibility that if the eldest aunt doesn't use your identity, how can she make the eldest uncle and the others believe it?"

Xu Xiaoya’s words woke the couple up.

The two men were silent.

"My aunt is determined to be a traitor and cling to that little devil Yamamoto. She originally wanted you to adopt Erni, but you didn't agree. She also wanted Yamamoto to look at her with a new eye, or at least not shoot her. She must show her worth, and it seems reasonable for her to use your identity to contact my uncle!"

Would bad guys care so much?

It would be great if we could achieve our goal.

Finally, Father Xu couldn't stand it any longer: "Xiao Ya, what is your uncle's purpose in coming here? Does he really want to take your mother back?"

Xu Xiaoya had an even bigger headache.

"Dad, if my uncle wanted to come and take my mother away, he wouldn't waste any time talking to us. He would just take her away with him. He's being so polite because he doesn't want my mother to go back unwillingly!"

Father Xu suddenly understood, looking as if he had realized what was happening.

Xu's mother also squatted in front of Xu Xiaoya: "So what do you think your uncle is thinking? He can't be here just to visit relatives out of kindness, right?"

Xu Xiaoya held her forehead with her hand as she looked at her parents. "My uncle probably wanted to come and see how you're doing, and to assess the importance of my aunt and Erni in our family. And since he dared to show up here, he probably hasn't agreed to cooperate with Yamamoto and the others yet!"

Xu's father and mother were not interested in cooperation. When they heard that they had to consider the importance of Aunt Xu and Erni in their hearts, they said directly: "Bullshit importance, the importance of wanting to kill them!"

Father Xu was about to tell your brother-in-law that Aunt Xu and Erni were not good people, but was stopped by Xu Xiaoya.

"Dad, my uncle is not stupid. They must have their own plans. Moreover, they were able to convince those Yamamoto devils to take them seriously and discuss cooperation instead of just coming to rob people or chop off their heads. My uncle must have something that they care about!"

Xu's mother suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, "I know. I was saying it. Why would your uncle care about the affairs of a second-married girl like me?"
