CHAPTER 685 WHY?
She didn't know when Eldest Sister-in-Law became so courteous. That harsh and harsh face of hers had left a deep impression on her. It was difficult to change one's nature, but could Eldest Sister-in-Law really change in an instant?
But before Xiao Sumei could say anything, Xiao Sumei giggled. ”Sister-in-law, I know my sister's taste the best, she doesn't seem to like eating sweet things. Oh right, I made some glutinous rice sausages at home earlier, I remember my sister liked it the most … … ”Little sister, I've put the things in the car. Why don't you come with me to get them?”
”Ol 'Five, Su-Mei just sat down. Don't let her work.” The old lady said.
”Mom, it's fine. It's not that heavy, it's just that I haven't seen my little sister for a long time and want to talk to her.” Xiao Supei said while smiling.
The fourth elder opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. Seeing her like this, the man sitting beside her quickly touched her. However, an awkward expression appeared on his face.
The second eldest, Xiao Guoqing and his wife, looked at each other as they sat there unperturbed, not saying a single word. From time to time, they winked at Xiao Sumei as if hinting at something.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Sumei finally figured out what was going on.
The reason why these siblings treated her so enthusiastically was not because of their kins.h.i.+p, but because they wanted to curry favor with her.
This made Xiao Sumei's heart very bitter. The cold and mocking back then had caused her to not feel the slightest bit of warmth from her family. Now, these people's flattery had also caused her to feel extremely uncomfortable.
These people had never treated her as if she was their own family?
Ji Feng was observing from the sidelines, but he was very clear in his heart. There were many brothers and sisters in the countryside, and their living conditions weren't very good, and they also didn't have much cultural education. Especially after they established their own families, the affection between them, although still there, couldn't be said to be very strong, especially among the older generation.
Moreover, their mother had not been in contact with them for many years, so they no longer had that kind of family relations.h.i.+p.
Speaking of which, it was rather depressing.
”Suumei, don't listen to their nonsense. Just sit here and chat with me. I'm not going anywhere.” The old lady could not stand it any longer and could not help but speak up when she saw Xiao Sumei in a dilemma.
”Yes.”
Xiao Sumei nodded, but did not mention anything about following them out. She knew that these people wanted to call her out because they wanted to talk to her alone about things that they needed her help with. Moreover, they wanted to be ahead of everyone else.
When the others saw that the old lady had interfered, they didn't say anything more. After all, they had to take into account the face these siblings had between themselves.
However, not mentioning brothers and sisters, the daughter-in-law couldn't help herself. Seeing how popular the Second Brother's house was, buying a car and a house, and even having the spare money to buy a house for the old grandma, how could they sit around?
”Mom, what you're saying is wrong.” The eldest, Xiao Guoqing's wife, couldn't help but twitch her mouth and say, ”Susu is here to see you, but we should be able to talk to her, right?”
”Yeah. ”Sister-in-law is right.”
”All of you, shut up!” The old granny stomped her feet in anger, ”Look at how all of you have turned out, ah! Aren't you afraid of the kids laughing at us? ”
”We are only considering for the sake of children!”
Xiao Guoliang's wife said, ”Look at my family's yuan, they can't find a good job, and they want to do business, but they don't have the capital to do it. Don't tell me you want them to live like this for the rest of their lives? Mom, you also hope that your grandson will have a future, right? ”
The old lady stopped talking.
As the saying goes, a young son, a grandson, the lifeblood of an old lady.
Xiao Yuanzi was the eldest son of the Xiao family. The old lady did indeed love him very much, and the old man even doted on him the most. Now that the eldest's wife used this as a reason, the old lady could not really deny it.
Seeing her elder sister-in-law bring her son out, the others began to talk about their own child.
”Look at second brother's family's badge. If you go to school in the city, then the conditions are much better than in the countryside. Our family won't be able to do that …”
”That's right, mother. You can't be too biased …”
Ji Feng couldn't help but to shake his head when he saw the commotion. He grinned, ”Heh.”
Xiao Sumei also frowned as she saw this and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This large family was really … She really didn't know what to say.
The old lady was also troubled. She turned her head to look at Xiao Sumei and said hesitantly, ”Suumei, look …”
However, Xiao Sumei couldn't help but shake her head and say, ”Mother, this matter is really not easy to handle. You don't know about my situation, but in fact, it's a bit troublesome even if I were to come out for a trip. ”
As Ji Zhenhua's wife, if Xiao Sumei wanted to go out, she would definitely alarm a lot of people. As Ji Zhenhua's wife, if Xiao Sumei wanted to go out, she would definitely alarm a lot of people.
As for helping her, it wasn't because she didn't want to. It was because she knew that she couldn't help him.
”Sumei, come here.”
At that moment, the old man's voice suddenly came from the living room.
When Xiao Sumei heard this, she hurriedly stood up, said, ”Father is calling me,” then hurried to the living room.
No one knew what the old man was talking about in the living room with Xiao Sumei, but a moment later, the old man could not help but snort, ”Hmph! ”Your wings are so hard …”
