On the other side, when Wu Weiming took his sister home, both of them had very excited expressions on their faces.

Su Lai was sitting in the main room picking vegetables. Seeing this, he asked curiously, "Did you two pick up some money outside? Why are you so happy?"

Wu Xiaomin broke free from Wu Weiming's hand, rushed to Su Lai, hugged her legs and shook them, her tone full of excitement.

"Auntie, auntie, buy some candy."

"I eat!"

Wu Xiaomin's words were not very clear, and Su Lai could not guess the whole story from these few words. He looked at Wu Weiming in confusion, "What auntie?"

Wu Weiming put down the plastic bag in his hand and took out several lollipops from it.

"My aunt bought it, and she said she was leaving."

Su Lai paused in picking vegetables and his expression suddenly changed.

Wu Weiming's biological mother has only one older sister, so the aunt Wu Weiming mentioned must be her younger sister.

"Where is your aunt? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"And where is she going?"

Wu Weiming pursed his lips, the smile on his face slowly disappearing, and he gradually became uneasy, "My aunt said she is getting married and will follow my uncle-in-law."

"By the way, my aunt also left a note, but I haven't read it yet."

Su Lai took the note, touched Wu Weiming's head, and tried to slow down his expression.

"Wei Ming is so good, take your sister and go play somewhere else!"

Wu Weiming stared at Su Lai's face for a long time, and only after making sure that Su Lai was not really angry or unhappy did he feel at ease to take his sister out to play.

Su Lai opened the note and saw it was an unfamiliar phone number.

The expression on her face kept changing, and the dark emotions in her eyes kept surging, but in the end, she slowly calmed down.

Since Su Lai got married, she rarely returns to her parents' home.

Even so, Li Xiu Lian often called her to ask for money.

But how could she have money?

Wu Shirong had some problems with his legs and was a widower with a son. In order to remarry, he basically spent all the money in the family.

Over the years, their family has been relying on Wu Shirong's salary to survive, and their life has been very tight.

When Su Lai first learned that her parents had married her to such a man, she felt like the sky was falling and she wished she could just die.

At that time, she had just turned eighteen, but not only was she forced to get married, she also had to become someone's stepmother.

Later, the second sister Su Jie ran around for a few days, and when she came back, she avoided people and analyzed the pros and cons of this marriage with her.

First of all, Wu Shirong's family was not wealthy, he had a lame leg, and had a son who was only two or three years old. These were shortcomings that Su Lai could not accept at the time.

But Wu Shirong's legs were not born disabled. Instead, they were broken by angry human traffickers when he tried to save a child who was targeted by traffickers after Wu Weiming's biological mother passed away.

Because of Wu Shirong's bravery, the county police station not only gave him a bonus, but also found him a job as a warehouse manager in the county after learning that he was lame.

Although the salary is not high, it is stable.

Secondly, Wu Shirong has no violent tendencies, does not smoke, drink, gamble, and never beats his wife. He is a very family-oriented person.

Su Lai still remembers what Su Jie advised her at that time.

Su Jie said that it didn't matter if they were poor or suffered a little, as long as the man had no problems with his character, life would always get better and better.

But if you miss Wu Shirong, no one can guarantee what kind of person the next one will be.

After all, their parents only have money and their younger brother in their eyes and hearts, so don't expect them to consider the three sisters.

After listening to Su Jie's words, Su Lai tossed and turned all night, and finally decided to get married.

In fact, what Su Jie said was absolutely right. Although Su Lai was a little tight financially after marriage, Wu Shirong treated her very well, and her stepson was also well-behaved and obedient, and never caused her any trouble.

Now she has both a son and a daughter, and her relationship with her husband is harmonious. Her life is much happier than when she was a girl in her parents' home.

After a lot of random thoughts, Su Lai's expression became a little lonely.

The reason why Su Jie was able to stay married until she was 20 years old and was married off by Su Mingliang and his family was because she found a job in the county and handed over most of her monthly salary to her family.

Even so, Su Jie never gave up on finding a way out for herself.

Su Jie is meticulous, bold and careful, and she always keeps her thoughts well hidden.

It was only after Su Jie left that Su Lai learned the truth behind Su Jie's marriage. Over the past year or so, the two sisters would occasionally contact each other.

Originally, Su Lai and Su Jie both thought that with Su Yang's grades and looks, her parents shouldn't marry her off so early, even for a higher bride price.

Who would have thought that not long after the college entrance examination, Su Yang actually got married!

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Su Lai took out his cell phone and dialed the number Su Yang left.

The call was connected quickly. After Su Lai understood the whole story and knew that Su Yang was going to find Su Jie, she felt relieved.

In the evening, when Wu Shirong came home from get off work and the family was sitting together for dinner, Su Lai suddenly said,

"How about we move to the county?"

Wu Shirong was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted and immediately agreed.

"Okay, when I'm free I'll go see if there's a house for rent, and we'll rent it first.

The money I have now is not enough, but if I save for a few more years, I can buy a house in the county."

Su Lai also smiled. "Xiao Min should be going to kindergarten soon. I'll find a job by then. Let's work hard together."

A hint of guilt appeared on Wu Shirong's honest face, and he couldn't help but touch his disabled leg with his left hand.

If only his leg wasn't broken.

……

When Su Ziyu came down from the tree, there were not many plums left, and they were all at the top, where they were difficult to pick.

Su Ziyu did not force it. After coming down, he filled a small basket of plums for Xiaoshan and asked him to take it home. Then he and his grandfather packed up their tools and went home with a full basket of plums.

When he entered the yard, Su Ziyu discovered that Grandma Wang was there too, excitedly sharing with Yang Yun what she had just seen and heard.

When Grandma Wang saw that Xiaoshan did not come back with Su Ziyu and the others, she knew that he must have gone home. She didn't bother to chat about gossip anymore, so she said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Yang Yun looked at the basket full of plums and felt a sour taste in her mouth.

"Look at the weight, it must be at least 30 or 40 kilograms, right?"

"We can't finish all this, why don't we just share some of it?"

Su Changhe easily put down the basket on his back and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Chenghai has a car anyway, so we don't have to carry it to Ancheng ourselves."

"Besides, every household in the village has at least two plum trees. Who would care about our melons and dates?"

"If you ask me, I'd rather send some to Yuyu's teacher's house to try. They're all grown at home, and they're not very expensive. They won't refuse to accept them, right?"

Su Ziyu smiled helplessly and did not join in the conversation between the two old men. He just happily washed a few plums and ate them, complimenting them as he ate:

"The plums from other families in the village aren't as delicious as ours. My grandparents are the ones who take good care of them."

Yang Yun felt that what Su Changhe said made sense, so she didn't insist any more. But when she heard Su Ziyu flattering her, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"I happen to have a lot of bags at home. How about sorting out the ones for the teachers first?"

Su Ziyu quickly stopped him, "Don't worry! Don't get caught on the way. I'll pick out the best ones when we get there."

"also!"

After Su Ziyu ate a few plums to satisfy his appetite, he helped his grandparents clean the house and check if there was anything he had missed.

Seeing that it was almost noon and Su Chenghai should be here soon, Su Ziyu went into the kitchen and started preparing lunch.

Because they were leaving in the afternoon, Su Ziyu didn't do much. He just fried a meat dish and a vegetable dish, and brought the egg drop soup to the table. Then he heard a short horn sound.

Then Su Changhe's voice rang out in the yard.

"You're quite accurate in predicting this. You arrived just as the food was served."

Su Chenghai's nonchalant voice followed suit, "Hey, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"I'm hungry, let's go inside and eat!"
