Chapter 205: Driving Zhang Guifang and Her Son Out
Hearing her say this, Su Wenbing finally stood up from his seat.
Actually, he didn’t really like this second aunt since he was young.
When he was little, when his father was still around, every time they went to their second uncle’s house, his second aunt always treated the kids well on the surface, but secretly she would give them cold looks.
Sometimes when they argued with their cousin, she would say upfront that it’s just kids arguing and it’s fine, but behind their backs, she would scold them for bullying and being shameless.
Actually, he wasn’t much older than his cousin.
So since they were young, the two brothers were very resistant to going to the second uncle’s house. Later, when Father Su had an accident, the second uncle’s family stopped coming over, and they actually felt relieved.
Thinking it would be best to never see each other for a lifetime, so they wouldn’t have to see the second aunt’s cold face.
"Sec... Aunt, come in."
He opened the door expressionlessly, feeling awkward calling her second aunt.
Zhang Guifang was thick-skinned, pretending not to see his expression, still greeting him very warmly: "Wenbing, you’re back, when did you come back?"
Su Wenbing’s facial expression stiffened, he was silent for a moment before speaking: "Just came back not long ago."
After saying that, he clammed up again.
Facing the person he once feared and hated the most, he really didn’t know how to make small talk.
Fortunately, Zhang Guifang didn’t notice his expression, more accurately, even if she did, she wouldn’t care.
After saying that, Zhang Guifang walked familiarly toward the living room, like she was at her own home.
Only then did Su Wenbing notice that Su Zhiqiang was following behind him.
When Su Zhiqiang saw him, he raised his eyebrows and reluctantly called out: "Big cousin."
Watching the two walk in blatantly, without any courtesy, Su Wenbing frowned and followed them.
Seeing the two enter, Liu Cuilan was ready to scold with a frown, a sentence slipped from her mouth.
"What are you here for again?"
Seeing Zhang Guifang, Liu Cuilan felt irritated deep down.
Back when Father Su was still around, afraid of troubling him, she always treated this sister-in-law very politely.
Zhang Guifang initially couldn’t make clothes, the clothes and pants for their kids were always made by her.
She thought sincerity could be exchanged for sincerity, but unexpectedly, at the first moment of Father Su’s accident, the sister-in-law’s family hurriedly wanted to cut ties.
If it weren’t for the kids turning out well, it’s likely the two families would never see each other again.
Thinking back on all that, Liu Cuilan’s eyes turned even colder.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, we need to eat if there’s nothing."
Mentioning eating, Zhang Guifang immediately smelled the fragrance wafting through the house.
Even though she had just had dinner, the tempting aroma still made her almost drool.
This family truly was extravagant, eating this well. Looking at the table full of meat dishes, Zhang Guifang’s eyes almost popped.
This department store job really is a cushy one, that brat just started working for a few days, and the family’s living standards improved so much, even the wealthiest family of the village chief wouldn’t dare eat this well.
Su Zhiqiang behind her was also drooling over that table of dishes.
He forced himself to look away, constantly reminding himself, mom said this time we’re here for business, business is more important.
Although he thought this, his eyes couldn’t help but glance at the table.
Did this family strike gold? How can they eat so well, even on holidays, his family wouldn’t eat so many dishes.
If it were a normal visit, he would shamelessly sit down to eat together, but today they came for a favor, definitely couldn’t do that.
Thinking of this, he could only swallow hard twice, trying to look elsewhere and distract himself.
Zhang Guifang cleared her throat and spoke: "Sister-in-law, we’ve come to discuss something with you."
Liu Cuilan showed a knowing expression, when does this family visit without a favor?
If someday they say there’s nothing, she’d be extra cautious.
She quietly looked at Zhang Guifang: "What’s the matter, just say it. With our relationship, no need to beat around the bush."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guifang rubbed her hands and pulled Su Zhiqiang forward: smiling at Liu Cuilan: "Sister-in-law, I heard you’ve contracted the department store cafeteria, you’ll be cooking for dozens of people, I’m afraid you’ll be overwhelmed, so I thought about bringing Zhiqiang to help you out, what do you think?"
Ah, so that’s their scheme, she knew they wouldn’t come without a hidden agenda.
Liu Cuilan immediately put on a stern face: "No need, even for dozens of people, Zhaodi and I can handle it."
Zhang Guifang didn’t expect her refusal would be so blunt, her face immediately darkened: "Willing to help you is considering we’re real relatives, if it were others, we wouldn’t bother this favor."
Su Xiaoxiao inwardly scoffed, this person really has thick skin, clearly wanting to take advantage yet speaking as if it’s for their benefit.
Seeing Liu Cuilan not responding, she cleared her throat again and spoke: "How about this, since Zhiqiang’s job recently fell through, let him work with you for a while, until he finds another job, just pay him market wage."
This was truly shameless, they both could handle the work just fine, why pay to bring in a useless person?
Given Su Zhiqiang’s nature, can’t do anything right, leaves nothing uneaten, letting him help would just be inviting trouble.
Liu Cuilan held back.
She pointed to the door with a dark face: "Get out, you’re not welcome in my home."
Zhang Guifang glared: "Liu Cuilan! Don’t go too far!"
"Get out, don’t force me to take action!"
She picked up a basin of dirty water beside her, threatening to spill it on them: "Get out! We’ve cut ties, yet you still visit daily. When Old Su was around, didn’t see you so eager? Now our living is better, you think you can come and take advantage, dream on!"
Zhang Guifang and Su Zhiqiang got splashed with dirty water, though they dodged quickly, it didn’t hit them fully but soaked a large area, the cold wind outside made them shiver.
Zhang Guifang’s mouth still wouldn’t relent: "Fine, Liu Cuilan, you’ve got the nerve to kick us out today, don’t expect my family to help yours again in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao watched this person like a clown, feeling speechless, what was this second aunt, her mouth was the hardest part.
She suffered so many losses, yet learned no lesson?
Su Fusheng was amazed, couldn’t help but ask: "Mom, treating second aunt and cousin this way, is it alright?"
Though he never liked this family, they were still relatives, had to maintain some appearances.
Liu Cuilan sneered: "Bunch of dog stuff, I’m already being kind treating them like this."
"If they come causing trouble again, just kick them out, since we’re severed, what’s there to fear."
After saying that, Liu Cuilan sat back down angrily to eat: "Why are you all standing dumbly, can’t waste such a good meal."
The family just sat down again, when there was another knock at the courtyard door.
