Chapter 21 Discovered
Oh, as expected of her mother ah. She saw the problem straight away. Xu Xiao Jiao really wanted to hold Wu Chun Hua's hand and say to her, you guessed it- Song Wei Ping can't do it. The two of them lived for a year and Song Wei Ping was absolutely without intention monk. and made her feel very at ease.
But if she said this, Wu Chun Hua would explode.
Let's sacrifice herself then.
Listening to her daughter's words, Wu Chun Hua felt herself become stupefied, "You mean, you don't want to?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Ah."
As soon as she nodded, Wu Chun Hua twisted her ears, "You stinky girl. I was saying you have been married for more than a year and have never seen any movement in your stomach. After being together for this year, you guys had pulled a curtain to sleep?"
At this moment, she felt aggrieved for her son-in-law again, "Wei Ping, a 20-year-old young lad, still treats you with all his heart. You, you..."
Why was my daughter so cruel?
Another possibility came to her mind. Could it be that this young couple didn't know what to do?
Xu Xiao Jiao saw how the cogs in Wu Chun Hua's mind started to turn again and was afraid that she would ask something she couldn't answer, "Mom, Mom, listen to me, don't worry about this matter. You don't have to worry about our couple's affairs."
Just as Wu Chun Hua was about to refute, Xu Xiao Jiao heard the commotion in the yard and knew that Song Wei Ping was back. So before Wu Chun Hua could speak, she pushed her, "Song Wei Ping is back. Don't say anything. He's a big man, it won’t be good to hear too much. Also, today we are going to take Grandmother to the county for a physical examination. We may live there. If you don’t see us back, don’t worry. Don’t worry at all.”
She quickly dressed up while talking and then hurried out of the room.
When Wu Chun Hua saw her son-in-law coming, she couldn't really ask any more questions. During the meal, she only looked at Xu Xiao Jiao with condemning eyes from time to time.
Song Wei Ping was a little confused. So once they were on the bus to the county city and had settled his grandmother down, he asked Xu Xiao Jiao in a hushed voice, "What's wrong with Mom?"
She seemed to want to speak but was hesitant, as if she was too embarrassed to say it.
Xu Xiao Jiao remembered Wu Chun Hua’s expression when looking at Song Wei Ping during the meal. That was called kindness.
She couldn't say that Wu Chun Hua found out that the two of them had the curtain hung up. So she waved her hand, "It's nothing. She's afraid that we don't have enough money for Grandmother's physical examination and insisted on giving me some. But I didn't want it."
Song Wei Ping nodded, "It's not easy for Mom to save some money. Can't take hers."
The topic turned to Grandmother. He didn't have the heart to ask other questions. Although he listened to Xu Xiao Jiao and bought nutritional supplements for Grandmother last year as soon as he had money, he was still afraid that the result of this examination would be bad.
Seeing his frown, Xu Xiao Jiao knew that he was worried about Grandmother. Seeing Grandmother falling asleep on the seat, she lowered her voice and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Grandmother is definitely fine."
She thought that there should be nothing wrong with Grandmother's health. Although it was not clearly mentioned when Grandmother passed away in the book, Song Wei Ping as a tool person was occasionally needed in the early stage and she was also mentioned one or two times. Grandmother saw other people get married to have a family and be in pairs. She also persuaded her grandson to find a companion, but Song Wei Ping never married.
It could be seen that Grandmother Song lived at least until the time when Song Wei Ping first made a fortune. Currently, it should have some elderly’s underlying diseases. So there was no major problem.
In the book, Song Wei Ping worked hard to earn money, but definitely didn't take good care of his Grandmother's health. Since last year, she had been maintaining Grandmother’s health. Now, Grandmother was nurtured pretty well.
Song Wei Ping saw Xu Xiao Jiao took out a piece of clothing from the bag to cover Grandmother. His eyes softened. He thought how within the year or so of marriage, Xu Xiao Jiao had indeed done what she promised and took good care of Grandmother.
But what about him? What was his original intention? Now what were his thoughts? These only he himself knew.
Song Wei Ping and Xu Xiao Jiao breathed a sigh of relief at the test results.
"There's nothing wrong with the elderly, except for some anemia. The rest are underlying diseases. I'll prescribe some iron tablets and medicine. It's enough to take it regularly. Usually, eat some pork liver, which could also supplement iron."
Grandmother Song grinned when she heard it, "I said that my body is still strong. I used to feel dizzy a lot, but since my granddaughter-in-law married in, my body has been getting stronger every day. How could there be anything wrong?Just these two children, they insist on bringing me to check."
Doctors had witnessed a lot of this mentality from the elderly. Food and clothing were a problem these days, let alone going to the hospital for examination. Therefore, once some diseases were discovered, the best time for treatment had already been missed.
The doctor agreed with Song Wei Ping's behavior, "Elderly, this is your grandson's filial piety to you. It’s beneficial to check up a lot. If there is any problem, we can treat it in advance. Since there is no problem with you, you can be at ease in the future, right?"
Grandmother Song laughed, "Oh, yes, yes."
Song Wei Ping also breathed a sigh of relief. Grandmother had been dizzy a few years ago. He wanted to take her for a checkup, but because the family was poor and Grandmother was unwilling to say anything. Now that the reason for Grandmother's dizziness had been found, it was fine.
Xu Xiao Jiao took Grandmother Song's hand and walked out, "Grandmother, look, I told you to come, but you have been unwilling. Now from the examination, there is no major problem and we don't have to worry. In the future, we can't feel distress for money and not check up. You’re getting older. You’ll have to do a physical checkup every year in the future.”
Grandmother Song had no burden on her mind now. She patted her granddaughter-in-law's hand, "Okay, okay, listen to our Xiao Jiao."
Grandmother was fine. Some other plans could be brought up, "Grandmother, I heard from Elder Brother Wei Ping that you have never been to the county. There is a big shopping mall in the county, which has everything in it. It’s a perfect chance to let Elder Brother Wei Ping take you to the county for a walk."
Song Wei Ping also nodded. Since everyone was here, they should buy something for Grandmother and her.
Grandmother Song also knew some things about the family's current financial situation. The family was rich. So she didn't stop the children from being filial. "Okay, then take Grandmother to have a look."
A group of people happily walked out. After a few steps out of the hospital, Xu Xiao Jiao was stopped.
"Xu Xiao Jiao?"
Then someone called Song Wei Ping's name, "Song Wei Ping?"
A few people turned their heads. Xu Xiao Jiao looked at a man and a woman in front of her. She didn't recognize the other party, "Who are you?"
The woman took a step forward. She saw Xu Xiao Jiao and then looked at Song Wei Ping. She took in Xu Xiao Jiao in a beautiful dress, with a beautiful face and high spirits. While Song Wei Ping was tall and straight with a calm demeanor. She wasn’t sure of Song Wei Ping's identity for a moment.
"Xiao Jiao, we haven't seen each other for two years and you don't recognize me? I'm Chen Xue, high school classmate. Are you married?"
Xu Xiao Jiao narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, she recalled the name. Chen Xue, the original owner's high school classmate. She went to work as an educated youth in the neighboring village. The reason why she had such a deep impression of Chen Xue was because Chen Xue was a typical gold-worshiping female. In the early stage, she and Zhao Yan Yan fought for Han Guang Hui. She later tried to win Song Wei Ping.
"Oh, Chen Xue, hello." Xu Xiao Jiao had no intention of interacting with her. So she nodded and said nothing.
However, Chen Xue wanted to ask Xu Xiao Jiao a lot. She had heard some news in the neighboring village. It seemed that Xu Xiao Jiao wasn’t born by her parents. Instead, her biological parents seemed to be farmers in the countryside. Later, she heard that her parents didn't want her. After gloating for a while, she felt that Xu Xiao Jiao would be disheveled for the rest of her life and would have no face to see others.
But why was it different now? The man next to her looked pretty decent. Could it be that Xu Xiao Jiao married a rich man in the city?
She didn't know how to ask for a moment. But Zheng Da Hai beside her knew Song Wei Ping's details, "Oh, Song Wei Ping, what are you doing here? Someone in the family is sick?"
He had a fake smile on his face, which made people feel that he was hypocritical.
Song Wei Ping shook his head, "No."
Then he left with Xu Xiao Jiao and Grandmother straight away.
"Pah, what's so great. Just a mud leg." Zheng Da Hai whispered behind Song Wei Ping's back.
Chen Xue looked at him in surprise, "Is he a farmer?"
Zheng Da Hai had an arrogant expression. Seeing Chen Xue was interested, he whispered to her: "You think he’s someone big? What? He’s just a mud leg. The whole family let him curse them to death. Now only a Grandmother is left. Look, they came to the hospital. Who knows if they got some bad disease. "
His voice carried sourness that couldn't be expressed, "You say that girl is really his wife? I don't know what kind of luck this kid has to find such a pretty..."
He glanced at Chen Xue and immediately changed his words, "to actually married a wife. Of course, I think that girl is definitely not as beautiful as you. Hehe, Chen Xue, let's go. Let's go to the big shopping mall. I brought money today. Whatever you want, I will buy it for you."
Chen Xue was a little satisfied when she saw that he was tactful and shared the gossip she knew, "That girl is my high school classmate. She used to be the child of the cadres in the compound. Guess what?"
The two whispered behind other people's backs. Xu Xiao Jiao was also a little curious about Zheng Da Hai. She obviously sensed that Song Wei Ping hated that man. "Who is he? He's not from Meilin Village, right?"
Song Wei Ping shook his head, "His name is Zheng Da Hai. He used to work in the transportation team before. He used to be a regular worker in the transportation team. His hands and feet were dirty and he got fired. Later, his parents arranged another job."
Zheng Da Hai? Xu Xiao Jiao had some inkling of this name. Wasn't this Song Wei Ping's opponent? She remembered when Song Wei Ping was occasionally mentioned in the book, that Zheng Da Hai was brought up. After making money by relying on policies, he got into everything. There was no lower limit for this man.
"You didn't discover his dirty hands and feet, did you?" Xu Xiao Jiao asked him.
Song Wei Ping hummed in confirmation. He was the one who found out. Back then they accused him of stealing the things, because he was the temporary worker and not reliable. It was him who reported Zheng Da Hai and found the things from Zheng Da Hai’s place.Since the perpetrator was caught red-handed, he stayed.
"No wonder he didn't have any good expressions." Xu Xiao Jiao found it funny, "Chen Xue is my high school classmate. So there’s nothing to say. Let's go. Let's take Grandmother for a stroll."
The two of them quickly forgot about Zheng Da Hai and Chen Xue. While the other two couldn't stop talking about them.
"What kind of pot really matches what kind of lid. One has no father and no mother. The other has changed from cadre parents to country ones. They are really a perfect match."
"That right. To be able to fall in love with Song Wei Ping, what kind of bad eyesight is that! A poor man."
As soon as Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping arrived at the entrance of the clothing store, they heard two familiar voices.
These days, the forest was really big! There were all kinds of birds.
Xu Xiao Jiao snorted coldly. She approached Song Wei Ping and linked his arm. The two walked side by side.
As soon as they entered, it was indeed Zheng Da Hai and Chen Xue. Xu Xiao Jiao made a surprised expression, "Oh, you two are here too. You also come to such a small place to buy clothes? I thought you all went to the provincial capital’s big shopping mall. After all, how can the clothes here be worthy of you, Chen Xue.”
"Oh, I see. You're going to buy a lot. We can only afford one or two items. You should be able to buy ten items. It's really incomparable."
Seeing that Chen Xue was suffocated into speechlessness, she turned her head to look the clothes displayed on the counter without waiting for Chen Xue to answer.
A camel-colored overcoat immediately came into her sight.
Sure enough, fashion was a circle. After many years, this camel coat was still an enduring classic.
"Song Wei Ping, this coat looks good." It was late autumn. Perfect time to wear it.
When the salesperson saw Xu Xiao Jiao taking a fancy to the coat, she immediately introduced it with a smile, "Oh, comrade, you have a good eye. This is the latest style in our mall. This is a new product from the provincial capital. There are only five pieces in the county. After passing this station, there won’t be another. The fabric Is woven by imported machines. It’s called woolen cloth. You look so good-looking. Can’t go wrong wearing this.”
After she said that, she handed it to Xu Xiao Jiao. Xu Xiao Jiao didn’t act reserved and tried it immediately.
She was tall and fair-skinned. With the coat on her body, she was like a magazine model, "How is it?"
Song Wei Ping nodded in satisfaction, "This one then. Wrap it up."
She looked so good in it. Chen Xue glanced at it several times and couldn't resist asking the salesperson for one to try.
Of course Zheng Da Hai supported it, "Xiao Xue, it looks great on you. You'll be able to wear it in a few days. I'll buy you this one."
Even mud leg Song Wei Ping could buy. So he must not be left behind.
Chen Xue shyly said, "Thank you, Elder Brother Da Hai."
The salesperson bloom in joy. Two pieces were sold at once. This was a big order.
"Two comrades’ eyes are very good. I'll wrap it up for you. One piece costs thirty-five yuan and ten industrial coupons."
"It's too expensive." As the salesperson finished speaking, a voice shouted out.
Chen Xue glanced proudly at Xu Xiao Jiao. She knew that they were pretending. Zheng Da Hai had already said that Song Wei Ping was poor. Xu Xiao Jiao was putting an act to try on such expensive clothes. She couldn't afford them now. How embarrassing to lose face in the big mall.
She raised her eyebrows at Xu Xiao Jiao, "Xiao Jiao, I heard that your match's family conditions are also very average. So don't be self-willed and buy some cheap clothes. As for me. Although I can't afford ten or eight, this one is still more than enough.”
She still wanted to say something to Xu Xiao Jiao, when Zheng Da Hai leaned over and meekly laughed, "Xiao Xue, look, this is too expensive. To be honest, you’s not that pretty wearing it. How about not buying it? Look at something else?"
Thirty-five yuan! He didn't expect it to be so expensive. He bought Chen Xue's fine dress before. At most, it was only ten yuan. This time, he brought a total of twenty yuan. He can't afford such expensive clothes nor did he want to buy them. After all, Chen Xue wasn’t his wife. It wasn’t worth it to buy such expensive clothes now if she won't be with him in the future.
Chen Xue’s unspoken words were stuck in her throat and let out an earth-shattering cough.
At this time, Song Wei Ping had already swiftly paid the money.
Xu Xiao Jiao glanced at Chen Xue with a half-smile. She imitated her shyness and held Song Wei Ping's arm, "Thank you, Elder Brother Wei Ping, you are so wonderful."
Then she looked at Chen Xue again, "Chen Xue, you are right. If you don't have enough money, don't be self-willed. Pick some cheap ones."
In an instant, the expression on Chen Xue's face could be described as colorful.
When the two walked out of the shopping mall, Xu Xiao Jiao laughed loudly, "Who told her to look down on others. Now she got slapped in the face. Look at Chen Xue's expression. It's so funny. People who look down on others are the most annoying. Song Wei Ping, your move of paying is really handsome. Oh, so handsome. It means so charming."
Sure enough, men who spend money on women were the most stylish.
Song Wei Ping only noticed that Xu Xiao Jiao's arm was withdrawn from his arm when he left the shopping mall. He lowered his eyes, "What else do you want?"
Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, "I'm tired too. Grandmother is still waiting for us over there. Let's go back."
Hearing Zheng Da Hai hushedly and lowly return the clothes, the salesperson's stern reprimand, and Chen Xue's complaints to Zheng Da Hai behind, Xu Xiao Jiao was in a good mood. "Detestable people getting unlucky makes the mood improve."
Song Wei Ping thought of how Xu Xiao Jiao was intimate with him in front of those two people now and then looked at the distance between them now. Suddenly, he felt that those two people weren’t so annoying. Just now when Xu Xiao Jiao's arm was on his arm, he felt unspeakably happiness. On the contrary, there was a faint sense of loss now and made him a little irritable.
"Then shall we go back?" He asked.
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Okay."
Her good mood remained until the evening. When the two of them were going to sleep at night, Song Wei Ping couldn't find the cloth curtain they had been using.
“Our family has been visited by thieves." Song Wei Ping looked serious.
Xu Xiao Jiao sat up at once, "What's the matter? What's missing?"
"The cloth curtain that was between us. Not only the cloth curtain. The other two sheets in the closet are gone. There are no other sheets. Check where you put your money. Is there any money left?"
Xu Xiao Jiao was startled. Hurriedly, she stood up, went to the corner to retrieve an unremarkable wooden box, and took the key to open the box, "I didn't lose anything."
Song Wei Ping frowned, "Didn't lose any money? It can’t be only the curtain is lost? I'll go to Grandmother's side to have a look."
Just as Xu Xiao Jiao was about to nod, she suddenly thought of something and reached out to grab Song Wei Ping's sleeve, "Eh, don't go."
Under Song Wei Ping's puzzled gaze, she mumbled out an explanation, "That, the cloth curtain, may have been taken away by my mother."
