Chapter 163: Reunion of the Couple
Chapter 163: Reunion of the Couple
Sun Weiguo still had a conscience, so he went to Wei Shuqing's house with a bottle of white wine, two pounds of peach cakes and half a rack of pork ribs.
He had come to his godmother's house countless times, and he was always in high spirits. But this time, Sun Weiguo felt a little embarrassed.
"Godmother, I'm sorry about what happened with my father-in-law. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf and on Xiaozhen's behalf."
Sun Weiguo lowered his head, not daring to look Wei Shuqing in the eye.
Wei Shuqing just smiled. She was angry with Ma Sanqiang and Ma Xiaozhen, but she couldn't get angry at all with her godson.
"Okay, if you call me godmother, you are half my son. There is nothing to apologize for. For your sake, I won't be really angry with them."
She has been through two marriages and knows that life is not as simple as black and white, or you and I are right.
No matter how wrong Ma Sanqiang is, he is still Ma Xiaozhen's father.
Ma Xiaozhen is a good daughter-in-law, and Sun Weiguo can't live without Ma Xiaozhen.
Hearing Wei Shuqing say this, Sun Weiguo finally felt better: "Godmother, you are so generous!"
He was old, and unlike Sun Weijun and Sun Weimin, they wished they could grow up in Wei Shuqing's house, act sweetly and coquettishly with Wei Shuqing, and ask Wei Shuqing to make some delicious food for them.
But Wei Shuqing and Sun Jinhua were really nice. They took good care of the Sun family and cared about him.
He didn't want his godmother to become enemies with his father-in-law.
Wei Shuqing wanted to keep him for dinner: "We're having sesame sauce cold noodles at home for lunch. Would you like to stay for a bite?"
The sesame sauce cold noodles she makes are amazing.
The hand-rolled noodles are chewy and not sticky after being rinsed with cold water several times.
Finely chopped cucumbers, minced garlic, fried pepper oil, soy sauce, two large spoonfuls of sesame paste with a strong sesame flavor, and finally soup.
It smells so good that you even want to swallow your tongue.
Thinking of that taste, Sun Weiguo swallowed hard.
"Godmother, forget it this time. I still have to go to Majialiao to bring Xiaozhen back."
With the help of his grandfather, he has found a house not far from his workplace, but a bit far from Jianshe Street.
But the house was neat, cheap, and well-designed, with three small rooms and a side room, and it was sold for a total of four hundred and fifty yuan.
Sun Weiguo didn't have enough money, so he borrowed 300 yuan from Sun Dahu before he was able to buy the house.
He asked someone to do some simple painting, bought some furniture, and tidied up the house into a simple appearance before coming to Majialiao.
Sun Weiguo wanted to give Ma Xiaozhen a surprise.
From now on they will have a home, a home of their own.
When Sun Weiguo arrived at Majialiao, Ma Xiaozhen was fetching water in the yard.
As a married girl, she followed her parents back to her parents' home in shame, and had an in-law family who didn't care about her. Naturally, her life was not comfortable.
In order to avoid being disliked by her parents and sister, Ma Xiaozhen had to work hard at home and in the fields so that she could stand up straighter.
Even so, Ma Sanqiang never gave Ma Xiaozhen a good look.
He attributed Sun Jinhua's attitude to Ma Xiaozhen's incompetence and lack of status in her husband's family.
Ma Xiaozhen had no choice but to endure it silently.
Putting aside her parents, she is a scheming girl.
She knew that she had displeased the Sun family by following her parents home. If she returned to her husband's family in disgrace, she would never be able to hold her head up high in her life.
Ma Xiaozhen sighed helplessly as she struggled to lift the bucket in her hand.
This is all fate.
"Xiaozhen!"
Seeing Ma Xiaozhen sweating and her face flushed, Sun Weiguo was already heartbroken.
He quickly stepped forward and took the full bucket of water from Ma Xiaozhen's hand: "Do you think you are a man? Carrying so much water at once?"
Ma Xiaozhen just laughed: "Who says women are inferior to men?"
When a couple meets again after a long separation, all their grudges are forgotten with a smile, leaving only longing for each other.
Ma Xiaozhen marrying Sun Weiguo was definitely marrying above her station.
So when their son-in-law came to pick up their daughter, Ma Sanqiang and his wife didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
They were afraid that if they angered the Sun family, Ma Xiaozhen would become a widow and be stuck at home for the rest of her life.
Ma Sanqiang came out with a pipe in hand, his face full of smiles: "Son-in-law, you are here. Old woman, kill a chicken!"
The Ma family raised four chickens, a crowing rooster and three laying hens. If it weren't for a distinguished guest, they would never be willing to kill the chickens for food.
Ma Sanqiang's wife also came out quickly: "Weiguo, come in quickly, mom will make dumplings for you."
During the meal, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves very much and no unpleasant incidents were mentioned.
On the way back by bicycle, Sun Weiguo told Ma Xiaozhen about his house purchase. He tried his best to take the responsibility on himself, for fear that a grudge would arise between his wife and his mother.
"Now that we're married, we can't just live with Mom and her family anymore. I bought a house and made it really spacious and nice. Let's go back and clean it up and move in!"
"Is this because mom and we are separating?"
Ma Xiaozhen was not stupid and guessed the whole story at once.
Sun Weiguo wanted to comfort her, but saw Ma Xiaozhen leaning her head gently on his back: "It's better for the two of us to go out and live alone. We can have another child in the future and then we can have a new small family."
"Yes."
Sun Weiguo couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about having a child who was related to him by blood.
He pedaled with all his might, as if a beautiful and happy life lay ahead.
Wei Shuqing's roasted sweet potato stall went bankrupt after just a few days.
She had little time and there were too many competitors out there. The money she earned was not enough to justify the effort, so she simply quit.
Wei's father gave the stove to his younger brother so that Uncle Wei could go to the city to eat.
But the dish of candied sweet potato has become completely popular.
Many customers with children specifically ordered this dish, and for a while, the shop became a little popular again.
The sweet potatoes from Village Chief Chen's house alone were definitely not enough, so she simply asked Village Chief Chen to buy more sweet potatoes for her, to provide for both Uncle Wei and herself, and also to sell them through the Liu family's vegetable stall.
Liu Dalong knew that Wei Shuqing was capable of getting all kinds of good things, so he simply reached a cooperation with her. He found channels from her and gave Wei Shuqing 10% of the profit from the vegetables sold.
Village chief Chen helped many families in the village sell sweet potatoes, and his prestige increased a lot more than before.
He now regarded Wei Shuqing as the God of Wealth, and wanted to enshrine her in the village shrine: "Boss Wei, you are a noble person in our Chenjia Village."
"We cooperate so that everyone can make more money."
Wei Shuqing did not dare to take credit for it. The soil in Chenjia Village was good, so the sweet potatoes grown there were sweet.
Village Chief Chen nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Boss Wei, I will never accept even a single sweet potato from Chen Dabao's family!"
I have to say, this little old man is quite a good person.
