Chapter 145 Beating the Autumn Wind
Everyone sneered at the actions of Li and Xia Fugui.
They would never do such a shameless thing.
At this time, Su He and the other two were sitting on a ox cart. Normally, they would meet a lot of people when they entered the village, but today, there was not a single person.
The three of them were driving towards their home with puzzled looks on their faces. From a distance, they saw a large crowd of people gathered at the gate of their yard.
The three people on the ox cart looked at each other and thought: Maybe something happened at home.
But it’s just in the village, what could happen?
When the ox cart arrived at the gate of the Su family, Su He was the first to jump off the cart. He looked inside and heard the voices of Li and Xia Fugui.
The more Su He listened, the uglier her expression became. She looked at Xia Mei who was standing behind her. At this moment, Xia Mei had a hint of anger on her face and her fists were clenched.
It seemed that he had not expected these two people to come to his door and have some evil intentions.
Su He gently tugged at Xia Mei's sleeve, giving her a hint of comfort with his eyes.
He turned around and whispered to Su Mu, "Brother, go to the village head's house and invite him over."
It was obvious that these two people wanted to act like scoundrels. Although they had signed a severance agreement with Xia Mei before, if a real fight broke out, Xia Fugui was still Xia Mei's biological father after all.
It would be bad if this matter got out. Xia Mei would probably be criticized by others when she goes out in the future.
After hearing Su He's words, Su Mu glanced towards the Su family's yard, nodded with a serious face, turned around and went to the headman's house.
Su He was worried that Xia Mei would get nothing good if she went in now, so he pulled her to wait at the door first.
The two of them didn't say anything, and the people around them were so focused on watching the fun that they didn't notice that Su He and Xia Mei had returned.
"Don't bother with that. We can handle the Su family's affairs ourselves."
Old Man Su coughed lightly and rejected Xia Fugui's words.
Even if Xia Mei was not there, the Su family would not consider asking two people to come to the Su family to help.
Neither Li nor Xia Fugui were diligent people. Before Xia Mei was still in the Xia family, all the household chores were done by Xia Mei alone, and she managed everything in order.
Now that Xia Mei is gone, the Xia family is in chaos all day long. There is grass growing outside the courtyard gate and no one is pulling it out.
It can be seen that neither of them is a hardworking person. Now they say they want to come to the Su family to help. It seems that they are coming for the workshop that is about to start operation.
Old Man Su looked at the two men with joy and understood everything.
The wages offered by the Su family workshop are not low, and are better than working in town.
Moreover, Su He said that there will be gifts during festivals and there will be bonuses for those who do well.
This is a great thing. In the past few days, many people in the village have been trying to get close to him and want to work in the Su family's workshop.
Xia Fugui and Li's intentions are very obvious.
Seeing that the Su family was not relieved at all, Li hurried forward and said:
"Look at what my in-laws said. Mei Zi is married into your Su family. The child's father is Mei Zi's biological father. He just wants to help you. He has no other intentions."
After a pause, he continued, "We know that the Su family is busy right now. Mei Zi is going to the town with A Mu. We will help out if we can."
Su He outside the door was so angry that she almost laughed. How could these two people have the nerve to come to the door and say that they were Xia Mei's biological father? Have they forgotten that they wanted to sell her for a tael of silver?
"No, you can go back."
Su Dawu had a gloomy face and drove people away with an unhappy look.
These two people are so shameless. At first, they just wanted to sell Xia Mei for money. Now that they see that the Su family is doing well, they want to come and ask for benefits. How can such a good thing happen?
Seeing that the Su family members were not moved by any persuasion, Li was about to start cursing them when she heard a loud shout from outside.
"The head of the village is here, everyone make way, everyone make way."
Su Mu supported the head of the village and shouted loudly towards the Su family's yard.
He winked at Su He again.
Seeing this, Su He followed Su Mu and the village head, and pulled Xia Mei into the Su family yard.
When Li and Xia Fugui, who were in the yard, saw the head of the village, they couldn't help feeling guilty.
Li muttered to herself: What is going on here?
When Su Mu and his companions entered the yard, everyone could see clearly that the people who came were not only the head of the village, but also Su Mu, Su He and Xia Mei.
Unexpectedly, the three of them came back earlier than usual today.
Su He looked at the ever-changing expressions on Li's face and sneered in his heart. It turned out that Li had chosen to come when they were not at home.
She had just listened at the door for a long time, and now she knew very well what the two men's plan was for coming to the Su family today.
But they have to be disappointed this time. No matter what, these two people cannot be allowed to get involved in the Su family's affairs.
If we let two people into the Su family workshop out of weakness, there will definitely be more requests in the future.
This time we should just give them up and make them never dare to come to our house again.
"What are you two doing?"
The head of the village felt annoyed when he saw these two people. They had caused chaos in the past, and now they wanted to cause trouble for the Su family.
Just on the way here, Su Mu had told him about the two previous times that Li had secretly caused trouble for Xia Mei.
He was now angry when he looked at Li and Xia Fugui.
The Su family is living a better life now. They opened a workshop in the village and also did not forget to help the people in the village. When they harvested sweet potatoes and recruited people, they gave priority to the people in the village.
Given the Su family's current momentum, he had to give them some face, but these two people actually wanted to come and cause trouble.
Hearing what the head of the village said, Li and Xia Fugui both laughed awkwardly.
Seeing that the head of the village was still a little scared, Li tugged at Xia Fugui's sleeve, signaling him to speak.
Xia Fugui's heart was also trembling, but facing the question from the head of the village, he swallowed his saliva in fear and said in a low voice:
"I...we just came here to see if there's anything we can do to help, to lend a hand."
Seeing Xia Mei standing behind him, he immediately laughed and continued:
"It's been a while since Mei Zi got married, but she hasn't brought Amu back to have dinner with us. Doesn't she want to come and see her daughter?"
Thinking of what Li said to him yesterday, Xia Fugui suddenly felt a little more confident.
No matter what, Xia Mei is his biological daughter through blood. How could she not acknowledge him as her biological father?
As long as he said something nice, Xia Mei would soften her temper and the past incident would be over.
We will still be a family in the future. It's such a good thing that Xia Mei has the support of her mother's family.
If the village head didn't want to maintain his dignity, he would really want to spit in his face at this moment.
How dare this guy mention Xia Mei? He even asked someone to bring Su Mu to Xia's house for dinner. He really thinks he is so important.
At the beginning, he had to sell his daughter for a tael of silver no matter what. Now that he saw that the Su family had become rich, he came to acknowledge her as his relative.
