Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 320 The Meaning of Flattery

Jiang Panhua responded in a neither light nor heavy tone, continuing to lean on the chair with no intention of moving at all.

"Yes... I shouldn't have said that, but... but mother, eldest brother and his wife will be back for dinner after they finish their rest. Let's go back to the room first, otherwise we'll start quarreling later..."

Jiang Panhua snorted and turned away.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you pulling my arm?"

Seeing that Jiang Panhua, who was sitting on the chair, had no intention of leaving, Su Di looked into the distance and saw that his mother Zhao Ying could barely support her upper body and was about to come back for dinner. In a hurry, he didn't care about anything else. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Panhua's arm, and using a little strength, pulled her to walk with him towards the stairs.

"Oh, my great-grandma, please keep your voice down. Can we go back to the room and talk it over?" Su Di grabbed Jiang Panhua with a trembling heart and quickly left the dining room and walked down the stairs.

Jiang Panhua didn't want to come to this somewhat frustrating meal. After all, her eyes were so red from crying when she saw her son missing for an afternoon. The old couple who loved their son so much would definitely hold her accountable.

The reason why she sat on the chair without moving was simply because she didn't want to let Su Di get away with it.

Why should he do whatever he wants? How could she let go of all the grievances she had suffered in front of the Su family, young and old, so easily?

Jiang Panhua, who was dragged up one floor by Su Di, used a little strength to pull her arm out of Su Di's hand.

The two of them stopped in the corridor outside the room in an instant.

Su Di, who was freed by Jiang Panhua, immediately reached out to grab her again. He also looked up at the second-floor corridor and confirmed that there were no waiters from the guesthouse nearby. Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"What do you want? I'll go to their kitchen and get you some food later, isn't that the same thing?" Su Di's voice was obviously gentler than before, and the flattering tone was more obvious.

"I obviously didn't do anything wrong, so why are you dragging me along like a thief? Doesn't this give the rest of your family the impression that I bullied you? I bullied you, and now I want you to clean up the mess. How do you want the rest of your family to look at me in the future?" Jiang Panhua stood at the door. Although she had no intention of going back upstairs, she didn't prepare to push the door open either. Instead, she folded her arms around her chest and leaned half of her body against the wall.

"How can you say that? I just don't want our mother to worry too much about my affairs. Didn't you...didn't what I said just now make her angry? This...I will explain it later. I will definitely not let them misunderstand you. It is definitely not you who bullied me!"

Listening to Su Di's righteous assurance, Jiang Panhua nodded lightly, her expression hardly changing, "Well, I'm glad you said that, otherwise the old and young in your family would eat me up, wouldn't they? If you don't want me to be too far away from you, you should be more careful next time you go out and bring all the daily necessities with you, so I don't have to run so far to buy soap, right?"

Su Di nodded as he listened, "I will definitely remember it next time, don't worry."

Finally, she heard a satisfactory answer from Su Di. Jiang Panhua yawned tiredly, turned around, opened the door of the room, and walked in unsteadily. Su Di quickly followed and gently closed the door.

Su Wanwan, who was walking up from the first floor, happened to see Su Di closing the door, and a look of helplessness flashed across her eyes.

"Is your mother okay?" Su Yang, Su Wanwan's father, walked beside him with his hands behind his back. His steps were a little heavy, as if he had a lot of things on his mind.

"It's okay. Don't you know about Mom's problem?" Su Wanwan reached out and held Su Yang's arm.

"Yes." Su Yang nodded. "Wanwan, tell me, how much does it cost to find a vacant lot in our village and build a new mud house?"

"Dad, are you planning to separate from my third brother and his wife?" Su Wanwan's hand, which was holding her father Su Yang's arm, suddenly paused, and she continued to think along the lines of Su Yang's meaning.

"If we just talk about building a mud house that people can live in, it won't cost much. Didn't Xu Yan and I build so many new factories before? Although I didn't ask him about the specific expenses, on average, one factory should cost less than two or three hundred."

After giving her father Su Yang a reference number, Su Wanwan fell into silence. The footsteps of the two echoed on the empty stairs, one after another.

Although separation means leaving your current residence and finding a new place to live, it is not that simple.

Once the family is divided, let alone what the other members of the Su family will think, her third sister-in-law Jiang Panhua, who always finds fault with something, will definitely be the first to get angry. Although she always makes a fuss just to get more things from her parents, if this matter is really put on the agenda, I'm afraid she will be the first to object.

After all, if they separated from their family at this time, she and her third brother Su Di would definitely not be able to share the money earned by their father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. Although their parents would definitely give them a sum of money as compensation after the separation, the money or other furniture and items would eventually run out and be broken. By then, there was no guarantee that their third sister-in-law Jiang Panhua would not target their father and mother again and bring up the matter of the separation.

Throughout Shuitian Village, there are countless families whose relationships were ruined in this way. The worst cases even reached the point where the couple had no further contact with each other even after their parents grew old.

"Well, if it's this price, then your mother and I have some savings. Although the factory you build is different from the house you build, your mother and I can definitely come up with the money."

Su Yang thought about it for a while, and when the two of them walked side by side onto the third floor platform, he suddenly whispered:

"I need to think about this matter carefully. Your mother has been worried that there will be too much trouble." After patting Su Wanwan's hand, Su Yang took a few quick steps and walked to Zhao Ying who was helped up by Su Gao. He took Su Gao's position, held Zhao Ying's hand, and dragged her towards the dining table.

"What's wrong with you? I just went out for a walk, how did you become like this?" Su Wanwan had already told him what had happened upstairs when they were downstairs, but seeing Zhao Ying's face turn so pale all of a sudden, Su Yang was still very worried, and his tone unconsciously became anxious.

"It's okay, I've almost recovered. I just felt a little uncomfortable in my chest. It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable as you get older." Zhao Ying's voice sounded fine, and Su Yang finally felt relieved.

Except for Su Di and Jiang Panhua, everyone else sat at the table again.

The little ones changed from their usual noisy behavior and all stayed silent at the table, especially Qinghe and Qinggui, whose whole faces were filled with sad expressions.

"The food is getting cold, let's eat quickly." Zhao Ying arranged for everyone to eat.
