Chapter 732: 732 Chapter 732: 732 “Yunniang, is Second Sister here too?”
Gu Ya looked toward Su Ningxiu in the shop, smiling as he greeted her, “Second Sister, when did you arrive?”
“Brother-in-law, I’ve been here for a while,” Su Ningxiu looked at the two strings of large firecrackers in Gu Ya’s hands and asked, “Brother-in-law, did you go buy firecrackers?”
Su Yunjin told Su Ningxiu with a smile, “Second Sister, the shop is opening next month, I specifically had my husband buy two strings of firecrackers to set off on opening day.”
It was a custom to set off firecrackers for the celebration of a shop’s opening in the market, which Su Ningxiu was also aware of, “Little Sister, you and brother-in-law are opening a new shop, so you are buying two strings of firecrackers to liven things up.”
Moreover, with her little sister’s shop opening, when the time came, they should also give Su Yunjin and her husband a congratulatory gift; when she goes back, she would tell her parents about it.
About the matter of the congratulatory gift, the family would discuss what to give later. Su Ningxiu mulled over the gift-giving while Su Yunjin reminded Gu Ya, “Husband, remember to keep the firecrackers safe, we’ll need them for the opening day, don’t put them somewhere hard to find.” There was a lot to do in the upcoming days with the shop’s opening.
Worried about forgetting them, Su Yunjin instructed Gu Ya to put the firecrackers in a conspicuous place for easy finding. Gu Ya agreed, carrying the firecrackers toward the back yard, leaving Su Yunjin and Su Ningxiu, the two sisters, in front.
Su Yunjin, holding Su Ningxiu’s hand, sat down to chat and asked about the recent situation at the Su Family, “Second Sister, how has it been? Lately, our grandmother and uncle and aunt haven’t been causing you and our parents trouble again, have they? What about Xiaofu? Is she behaving herself in the Su Family, or is she causing trouble?”
Under the influence of Su Yunjin’s changes, Su Ningxiu’s family had learned to resist, no longer passively enduring others’ manipulation as they had before.
After biting the dust at Su Ningxiu’s home a few times, Mrs. Tao became reluctant to stir up trouble there anymore. As for Su Xiaofu, she had lost all her reputation in the village after the brawl with Feng Meimei.
Wherever she went in the village, Su Xiaofu was met with disdain. So, she just stopped going out altogether, lazing around at home every day in the Su Family, and it was heard that she had gone to Fan Wenxuan’s house looking for him a few times.
Every time she was turned away by Fan Wenxuan’s mother, Mrs. Liang, who even threatened to beat her every time she saw her if she continued to come. Su Xiaofu was certainly discontent not having seen Fan Wenxuan.
Later, when she found out that Fan Wenxuan wasn’t even in the village, she stopped running to the Fan Family. Without finding Fan Wenxuan, and being scorned like a rat crossing the street in the village,
Su Xiaofu didn’t take advantage of causing trouble this time at the Su Family, now they had nothing to do and had even gone several times to cause trouble at Su Ningxiu’s house. However, those few times, Su Xiaofu didn’t get the better of them.
“Little Sister, our parents have changed, no longer as timid and submissive as before, and now grandma and the others don’t dare to trouble us lightly.”
Su Ningxiu’s face was brimming with a smile, “Little Sister, the change in our parents and elder brother, is all thanks to you. In the past, when grandma and the others caused problems, our parents didn’t dare resist, let alone say no.” It was all thanks to her little sister’s efforts that her parents had changed; without her, they would still be blindly filial and at the mercy of Mrs. Tao’s family.
Learning that her parents now knew how to resist, Su Yunjin was indeed happy for them; she had been worried that in her absence, they would once again be bullied by Mrs. Tao and her family.
It seemed now that her concerns were redundant.
Anyways, as long as her parents weren’t bullied anymore, it was good. At the same time, it was great that her parents had learned so quickly not to endure everything passively.
Su Yunjin was surprised and delighted.
