Chapter 125: Alienation

"I've already asked Xiang Jianming, Su Qingyue really wasn't at home at the time, what reason do you have to talk to her?"

Qiao Wang's eyes were unkind, he really couldn't stand this kind of life anymore.

Every day he was arguing with Su Qianqian about the child.

Taking care of the child in the hospital for a week, changing diapers all night and not sleeping well, he had no joy and excitement when the child was born.

After hearing the doctor say the child had a root of the disease, he felt from the bottom of his heart that this child was a burden.

Now he had no intention of arguing with Su Qianqian about the child.

He turned over, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Su Qianqian sneered, "I don't believe everyone will maintain her!"

The next day, Su Qianqian found Gousheng, not only giving him fruit candy but also ten yuan.

Gousheng's eyes widened, he had never seen so much money!

"Auntie Qian, this, this is all mine?"

"It's yours, there's another ten yuan for you after sending the letter!"

Su Qianqian took out another ten yuan and shook it in front of Gousheng.

Gousheng's eyes were excited, "I listen to Auntie Qian, I'll send it now!"

Watching Gousheng's back go far away, Su Qianqian laughed evilly.

She specifically went to Su Qingyue's house to return the money this day.

"Qingyue, thank you for the emergency, but the money wasn't used, the child's fever subsided."

"Mm, that's good."

Su Qingyue's attitude was still faint, she didn't need to accommodate Su Qianqian because of this.

But this faint appearance was particularly dazzling in Su Qianqian's eyes. She couldn't stand it, how could Su Qingyue be as calm as water.

"Yuanbao went to the hospital too late and burned into bronchial pneumonia. Sister Wang came to borrow the bull cart, but unfortunately you weren't at home. Otherwise, my Yuanbao wouldn't have left a root of the disease."

Su Qianqian cried softly, looking at Su Qingyue with eyes as sharp as thorns.

Su Qingyue raised her head and glanced at Su Qianqian, "Then listen to the doctor's exhortation and protect him well in the future."

What's wrong?

She wasn't at home, and she blamed her?

It wasn't her who caused the child to get sick.

She felt sorry for the child's encounter, but she didn't have to be a saint.

Su Qianqian saw that Su Qingyue still had an "it has nothing to do with me" expression, and her eyes were filled with poisonous hatred.

She put down the money and turned out of the bedroom.

Huaimei was washing clothes in the courtyard. Every piece of Su Qingyue's clothing was of good material.

There were cotton, silk, and brocade.

And from marriage to now, Shen Xunbao hadn't taken the initiative to buy her any clothes except for the wedding dress.

"Huaimei, Qingyue is calling you, go in and see."

Su Qingyue sometimes wanted to turn over, sometimes felt uncomfortable, and would call Huaimei, so she didn't pay attention and went straight to the inner room.

Su Qianqian quickly took a green shirt of Su Qingyue's from the drying pole and left quietly.

"Sister-in-law, are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Huaimei served Su Qingyue wholeheartedly, asking her every day.

Su Qingyue felt warm inside, "Not uncomfortable, I'll sleep for a while, you go rest after washing the clothes."

"I'm not tired, doing so little work a day and getting so much salary."

Big Brother gave her a very high salary, and sister-in-law was good to her, so Pei Huaimei served her wholeheartedly.

Pei Huaimei went to the courtyard to continue washing clothes. She washed a lot of clothes today and didn't notice that a green shirt was missing.

The half-year-old baby kept crying, sucking his fingers while crying.

Obviously hungry.

"Good grandson, grandma will cook some rice paste for you." Chen Lianzhen held the child and went to the kitchen to see, the rice bag only had less than a handful of rice left.

She sighed deeply.

Gaogao was half a year old, it was a pity that his mother left early, and Pei Huaigang, as a father, didn't care about the child at all.

Pei Fugui and Chen Lianzhen ultimately felt sorry for their grandson and could only raise the little grandson.

To feed Gaogao breast milk, the old couple begged pregnant women all over the village to feed the child, feeding one week of milk for five yuan.

But many pregnant women were only willing to feed for one week, and no more, their own babies had to eat milk too.

No amount of money would work.

Pei Fugui and Chen Lianzhen watched their money almost spent, and couldn't find anyone to feed milk.

The two were worrying about this, and Su Qianqian came to the door.

"Uncle Pei, Auntie Chen, I think you've heard about my child's matter. I have plenty of milk, if you don't mind, I can feed Gaogao."

Chen Lianzhen's wrinkled face revealed a trace of joy and then some hesitation, "We don't mind, but we don't have much money left."

Gaogao's birth made Pei Fugui and Chen Lianzhen age a lot in just half a year. The two had to earn work points and take turns taking

Su Qianqian smiled gently, "It's nothing, I'll feed the child first; you two take your time thinking of a way to handle the money."

She took Gaogao directly from Chen Lianzhen's arms; the child was so thin and small that he felt weightless in her embrace.

"Auntie, do you know? The monthly salary Pei Huaimei gets for serving Su Qingyue is this much."

She held up three fingers.

Chen Lianzhen and Pei Fugui exchanged a glance, both of them widening their eyes.

"Is it really that much?" Pei Fugui felt a sour ache in his heart; a few days ago, when Pei Huaimei sent them living expenses, it was the eight yuan that Pei Huaiye had instructed her to give.

At the time, Pei Fugui had asked his daughter how much she made a month and if she could give the old couple some money to raise the child.

Yet that unfilial son only gave him five yuan, and he and Chen Lianzhen had been smugly satisfied with that.

He never expected that this wicked creature's monthly salary was as high as thirty yuan!

"Auntie, don't say I told you; just say that Song Popo let it slip."

Su Qianqian went into the inner room, unbuttoned her clothes to feed Gaogao, putting on the appearance of a compassionate mother.

Watching this, Chen Lianzhen felt very grateful to Su Qianqian, "Qianqian, thank you so much. Gaogao is too pitiful; he wants to eat from the 'hundred-family rice' but can't even get that..."

Chen Lianzhen wept softly, and Su Qianqian handed her a tissue.

"Auntie, don't cry. You and Uncle Pei should go find Pei Huaimei to plead your case. Keep your attitude soft and just say Gaogao is malnourished. I think as an aunt, Pei Huaimei surely won't have the heart to refuse."

"Besides, there's still Su Qingyue. She is so kind and generous; she eats fine rice and white flour every meal, and half the factory's profits are hers. Just think about how much money she must have?"

"As his aunt-in-law, if she sees Gaogao so thin and weak, she will definitely reach out to help."

After Gaogao finished feeding in Su Qianqian's arms, he fell asleep, and Su Qianqian returned the child to Chen Lianzhen.

"Su Qingyue has a rift with me and used an excuse not to lend me the bull cart, but Gaogao is a child of the Pei family; she will definitely help you."

Chen Lianzhen frowned, "I'm just afraid that after the eldest comes back, he will grow distant from us."

In truth, she was afraid Pei Huaiye would cut ties with them, but she didn't dare say it in front of Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian understood perfectly and patiently urged, "He won't!"

"Auntie, Pei Huaiye's personality has always been cold, but he actually cares about his family deep down. Regardless of what happened before, hasn't he still been sending you living expenses on time every month?"

"Just based on that, he would never leave Gaogao to fend for himself. You are just going to ask Pei Huaimei and Su Qingyue to borrow some money, not asking for their lives. Why would he grow distant from you when he returns?"
