Jiang Yumei suspected that there were spies in the Su mansion, otherwise Wen Xian would not be so sure that Yang Hua was in her hands. In this case, she might as well take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and kill Wen Xian and the spies together.
Su Youxin was injured. He lost the battle and thought that Su Yaoqiang would get angry, but in the end he just reprimanded him and did not punish him too much. What really made Su Yaoqiang angry was the arrival of Old Xiao.
In the study, Mrs. Xiao told Su Yaoqiang her intention of coming.
"Tingting is still young after all. I think marriage is a big deal after all. The two children haven't known each other for a long time. I think it's better to get along again. What do you think, Commander?"
Su Yaoqiang looked at Old Xiao, who looked up at the ceiling. Su Yaoqiang snorted coldly in his heart, and said to Mrs. Xiao: "Sister-in-law, haven't we all agreed on this matter? Besides, the two children also agreed. Youxin and Ting Ting is not young anymore, to tell you the truth, I'm almost fifty now, and I'm anxious to have a grandson, so sister-in-law doesn't want to have a grandson as soon as possible?"
Mrs. Xiao said: "Actually, it's not very big. I'm afraid that Tingting is young and immature. If she gets married, she will cause trouble for the Su family. Besides, isn't there still a young master? By the way, I have heard about it now." , Young Master Su is amazing. He has always been at the forefront on the battlefield, regardless of personal safety. Also, I heard from Lao Xiao that Young Master Su is both wise and brave. He has fought against the Russians several times. Those are Young Master Su The idea that came out finally made those Russians suffer a lot, and now people all over the country know that Young Master Su is our great hero!"
Su Yaoqiang smiled: "He is just lucky."
"It's all luck to be able to come back?" Mrs. Xiao said: "By the way, isn't the commander-in-chief anxious to embrace his grandson? The so-called orderly elder and younger, you should tell the elder and younger more than the second youngest! But... ...Eldest Young Master, this situation is special, handsome, I am not saying that you did this at the beginning...It really puzzled us, what a good boy, you can't...keep living with a man like this? It's better to be early Make a plan!"
Su Yaoqiang's complexion suddenly turned dark.
After all, Lao Xiao still knew Su Yaoqiang. Seeing that he was already angry, he quickly grabbed his wife: "I said you are a wife, what are you talking about here? It's okay, it's getting late, let's not stay here." This is bothering the commander-in-chief, walk around and go back."
Mrs. Xiao glared at Old Xiao: "I haven't finished my words yet, so you chased me away? The commander-in-chief didn't chase me away. What are you arguing about here?"
Old Xiao pushed the man out of the door and said, "Go back first, I have business with the commander-in-chief, it's inconvenient for you to be here as a woman, go back quickly."
"What's the matter with you? I was just about to get to the point..."
Old Xiao closed the door, and before Mrs. Xiao could finish speaking, he turned around and gave Su Yao a forced smile.
Su Yaoqiang snorted coldly, and said directly: "What do you mean? Old Xiao, are you planning to divorce?"
Old Xiao said: "I don't mean that, it's her who quarrels endlessly, but after listening to me say a few words that are far away, then..." Then he had other thoughts.
Old Xiao continued: "Marshal, you must be sure that others know her. You also know her. She has never read any books, her hair is long but her knowledge is short, and her speech is not proper."
"Haven't read the book? Doesn't even the elders and children know the order?"
"That's what someone else said, and she probably doesn't even understand what it means," Lao Xiao quickly explained, "Marshal, that girl said something you don't like, and it made you unhappy. I promise I won't do it again next time." Let her talk nonsense, or I, I will divorce her!"
"Hmph!" Su Yaoqiang sneered, "You've been saying this for 20 years, and I haven't seen you really sleep. I don't understand. What kind of enchanting trick did she use to you to fascinate you like this?"
Old Xiao sighed: "With her brain, what tricks can she use? I just think that she took care of my old parents back then. As an unfilial son, I couldn't take care of my parents when they died. It was all because she provided for them to take care of them until their death, and later she gave birth to Tingting in her 40s, and I promised her in front of her bed that I would never divorce her in this life, and a man kept his word, so naturally I couldn't break my word."
Hearing this, Su Yaoqiang's expression changed. Old Xiao saw that his expression was not right, and asked, "Marshal, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yaoqiang waved his hand: "Nothing."
Mrs. Xiao still doesn't give up. She is just such a precious daughter. She originally thought that Su Youxin was the best destination, but unexpectedly, Su Yuanzhi was killed halfway. Mrs. Xiao was illiterate, but she had heard of Water Margin since childhood. After Xiao came back from the battlefield, he often praised Su Yuanzhi when he had nothing to do, saying how brave and fearless he was, and how much he valued friendship. Mrs. Xiao thought that it would never be a problem for him to marry a man. The two would score sooner or later, and her daughter Now that the marriage contract is in place, he is a divorced person, so he has no right to dislike her daughter's marriage contract, right?
In short, no matter what, she has to look again, Su Youxin is still Su Yuanzhi, she has to observe carefully, she has no intention of retiring Su Youxin's engagement for the time being, but the marriage has to be postponed, so that she can provide for her daughter Buy more time to choose slowly.
As a result, Su Yaoqiang asked Old Xiao to rush out before he could finish his sentence. Mrs. Xiao thought about it, turned a corner and went to Jiang Yumei's.
Jiang Yumei is a smart person, and has always been the best at observing words and expressions. Mrs. Xiao didn't say a few words here, she heard the carelessness, and immediately said to Mrs. Xiao: "What the sister-in-law said, the marriage was indeed a bit rushed. Since Ting If Ting doesn't want to, why don't we cancel this engagement."
"……what?"
Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that Jiang Yumei was about to break off the engagement when she came up, and her mind became confused all of a sudden, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Jiang Yumei said with a face that I respected your thoughts: "At the beginning, I saw that the two children were in love with each other. I thought that they are not too young, so it is better to make a marriage contract as soon as possible. I have also discussed this matter with you, and you all agreed. Yes, but now you feel that Youxin is inappropriate, so we naturally won't force it. Marriage is a big deal, and we can't delay Tingting, so it's better to cancel the engagement. Of course, Tingting is a girl after all, and Youxin is a man. After all, this kind of thing is still a girl's disadvantage, and we will tell the truth to the outside world, it is you who took the initiative to withdraw the engagement, so as not to ruin Tingting's reputation."
"This..." Mrs. Xiao panicked when she heard this, "Madam, I didn't mean that, I just..."
Jiang Yumei took Mrs. Xiao's hand: "I understand, sister-in-law, it's because we Youxin are not worthy of Tingting, and Tingting has been wronged."
Mrs. Xiao was so blocked that she didn't know what to say.
Jiang Yumei pulled her up and said, "Sister-in-law go back and discuss with Commander Xiao and Tingting. Don't worry, we will absolutely cooperate here. Then go slowly, Mama Li, and help me see Mrs. Xiao off."
"Yes, ma'am."
Li Ma sent the bewildered and confused Mrs. Xiao out. Jiang Yumei's smiling skin collapsed in an instant, and she turned back to the direction of the back room and said, "See? What is snobbery? Even this ignorant village woman Dare to treat you like this, how realistic people in this world should be! How terrifying!"
Su Youxin came out of the back room with a very ugly expression on his face.
Jiang Yumei looked at him: "Youxin, some things are not what we want to fight for, but we have to fight for. If you don't want to be looked down upon or bullied, you have to fight for it! You don't want to marry Xiao Tingting, but you want to However, if Su Yuanzhi married Xiao Tingting today, your situation would be a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult than it is now! At that time, everything you want will be taken away by him! Everything!"
Su Youxin has never been very willing to marry Xiao Tingting. It has been two days since he came back, and he doesn't come to the door. Jiang Yumei reminded him intentionally, but he only listened on the surface, but he didn't know where his mind was drifting.
The arrival of Mrs. Xiao gave Su Youxin another heavy blow.
Su Youxin gritted his teeth: "What should I do?"
Jiang Yumei took a deep breath and said, "Go to Xiao Tingting and tell him that you want to divorce."
"break off an engagement?"
"Of course it's not a real divorce. You go to Xiao Tingting and see what she thinks first."
Su Youdao: "I see, I'll call and ask her out now."
"You've finally got the hang of it." Jiang Yumei smiled gratifiedly, "Go now."
"it is good."
Li Ma came in from the outside and told Jiang Yumei: "Ma'am, we agreed to meet over there. Master Youxin just drove out."
Jiang Yumei nodded: "Well, where is Xiaocui?"
"Xiaocui is in the kitchen."
Jiang Yumei said: "Let her deliver three meals a day on time from today. Isn't it almost time for lunch? Let Xiaocui prepare the lunch first."
"Yes, ma'am, I'm going to tell Xiao Cui right away."
Li's mother went to the back kitchen, called the maid Xiaocui, took her aside and whispered in a low voice, Xiaocui nodded repeatedly.
"Butler Li."
"housekeeper."
"Ah."
Li Hong is the butler, and before dinner is served every day, whenever he is around, he is the first one to eat, and the servants dare to move their chopsticks. start.
Li Hong looked around and asked the person on the right: "Xiao Cui didn't come today?"
The servant replied: "Oh, Xiaocui is in the kitchen, and she said she would come over after cleaning up."
Li Hongdao: "It's not too late to clean up after eating, go and call Xiao Cui."
"Yes, butler."
Just as the servant stood up, Xiaocui came in from the door.
"Xiao Cui is here."
Li Hong turned his head to look, Xiaocui saw Li Hong looking at her, panicked and said: "Guan, butler."
Li Hongdao: "Xiao Cui, the weather is getting colder and colder. Don't eat after finishing the meal, otherwise the food will be cold in a while, and you will feel uncomfortable after eating."
Xiaocui nodded quickly: "I, I see, housekeeper."
Li Hong nodded, but didn't say anything reproachful, just said: "Sit down."
Xiao Cui quickly walked over, found her own seat and sat down to eat.
Holding the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, Li Hong casually looked at the shoes on Xiaocui's feet. It rained just this morning, and the brick surface was better, but the soil was still a little wet. There was some mud on the edge of Xiaocui's shoes. There is a bamboo leaf printed on the sole of the shoe, and there is no bamboo forest in the kitchen. In the entire Su Mansion, there is only a bamboo forest deep in the backyard.
