Chapter 1625 Su Aixiu Goes to Prince Pang's Mansion
In anger, Liu Dalan rushed forward with her head stretched out and her chest puffed out. If Su Aixiu had not supported, helped, and pulled her, she would have hit her son with her head and body. Su Aixiu had been fortunate enough to see that look of someone wanting to die with her son several times, and it was nothing new to her now.
"You're being unreasonable." Cheng Tiezhu roared, swung his sleeves, and went back to his room.
A child in the room jumped down from her chair when she saw Cheng Tiezhu come in. She had just imitated her mother and looked out through the hole in the window paper, "Daddy, did you hit my aunt?"
Cheng Tiezhu's anger could not be dissipated. With a dark face, he picked up his daughter and sat on the chair, "Didn't you see everything?"
"Daddy, you hit Auntie to vent your anger on my mother!"
"What did your aunt do to your mother again?"
Xin He leaned forward and patted the embroidery frame on the table. "Grandma asked my mother to embroider for her, and my aunt also asked my mother to embroider for her, and she scolded my mother for slacking off."
When Cheng Tiezhu heard about this, he thought it was only his mother who oppressed his wife, but it turned out that the treacherous and cunning He Bao also oppressed his wife. He picked up all the cloth, embroidery frame, and embroidery thread on the table and rushed out, heading straight for his mother's main room.
His mother Liu Dalan sat on the bed with a dark face, He Bao lay on her mother's legs and cried loudly, and her daughter-in-law served the mother and daughter with water like a punching bag.
Cheng Tiezhu dropped the pile of embroidery supplies on the ground with a clang. The scissors and needles fell to the ground. He warned the mother and daughter on the bed, "Don't let Aixiu embroider for you in the future. You have hands, embroider for yourselves."
Su Aixiu put down her water cup and hurriedly picked up the things on the ground. Cheng Tiezhu grabbed the things in Su Aixiu's hand and threw them on the ground again, ordering Su Aixiu, "You also remember this. If you embroider these things for them again, I will break your fingers."
Su Aixiu was even more panicked. Her husband wouldn't break her fingers, but she was afraid of him getting angry. But she was even more afraid of her mother-in-law. The things on the floor weren't just Hebao's, but her mother-in-law's too. She was reluctant when Hebao asked her to embroider, but it was understandable that her mother-in-law asked her to embroider. If she didn't embroider, it would be considered unfilial to her parents-in-law. These were just minor issues. Her mother-in-law would definitely make things difficult for her when her husband was not at home.
Liu Dalan glared at her son with vicious eyes. This man had shaken her position in the family and no longer listened to her. She suspected that all this was instigated by Cheng Feng and his wife. They first instigated He Ye to become alienated from her, and then instigated Cheng Lao Da to beat her. Now they were instigating her son to be unfilial to her. She secretly swore in her heart that sooner or later she would teach Cheng Feng and his wife a lesson.
"You unfilial sons, get out of here." Liu Dalan, who was unable to walk, was like a plucked rooster. No one in the family listened to her orders.
Cheng Tiezhu's rebellion was the most obvious. Not only did he not ask about his bedridden mother's well-being, he also walked out of Liu Dalan's room with a flick of his sleeves.
Su Aixiu looked at the mother and daughter on the bed, then at the pile of unfinished embroidery on the ground, and had to turn around and chase her husband. In this family, Cheng Tiezhu was her support.
Seeing Cheng Tiezhu walking out of the gate, he trotted after him, "Tiezhu, where are you going?"
"I have a lot of things to do when I go to the shop, and they are causing me trouble. It's really a misfortune for our family." Cheng Tiezhu said in a rough voice, and it was obvious that he was still angry.
Su Aixiu grabbed Cheng Tiezhu and said, "Tiezhu, you are so angry today. What happened to the lotus bud and the lotus leaf? Is this person sick again?"
Cheng Tiezhu was consumed by the lawsuit, his guts ripping at him. "I'm worried about this, too. Xiu, don't stay home to take care of them. Take Xinhe with you to Prince Pang's mansion and check on He Ye for me."
Su Aixiu was a little embarrassed, "Tiezhu, if I go...will Heye refuse to see me?"
"No, she's annoyed with my mother, not you. Go and have a look. If He Ye is not well, come find me on Zhujin Street. My uncle and the others are still waiting for me to go back. I have to go now."
Since Cheng Tiezhu left a message, Su Aixiu had no choice but to change her clothes and go to Prince Pang's mansion with her daughter Xinhe.
The tall, gated Prince Pang's mansion was heavily guarded, yet people continued to come and go. Su Aixiu knew that these women were making cotton-padded jackets for the soldiers at the border. As Fengqi's army marched north, smoke and flames engulfed the land wherever they went. Soldiers never returned home. Those with outstanding military achievements were granted titles and made their mark, while those unfortunate perished on the battlefield, facing a tragic end. Wherever the relentless flames of war reached, the people wailed, vagrants fled, and beggars abounded. Few vagrants like them managed to escape to Fengqi unscathed. With her husband and daughter by her side, Su Aixiu was content.
She came to the gate of He Ye's yard and found that there were no tall guards guarding it, which proved that He Ye was not crazy.
She called He Ye's name outside the door, and it was Yuhua who came out.
"Ai Xiu, why are you here?"
"Aunt Yuhua, Tiezhu is worried about Heye, so let me take a look."
Yuhua took the letter from Su Aixiu's arms and led them into the yard. As they walked, she chatted with Su Aixiu, "How did your mother-in-law teach Hebao to be like that? When she was little, I thought she was pretty good. At that time, she followed Heye all day long. Wherever Heye went, she followed. At that time, Heye was not a good person, but she was not like her mother and Hebao are now. Heye did not have bad intentions and was also instructed by her mother, but she was not deeply influenced by her mother. But Hebao is different. She is cruel and looks 70% like your mother-in-law."
Su Aixiu wanted to say that Hebao and her mother-in-law were very similar. "Aunt Yuhua, when I knew my mother-in-law and Hebao, they were like this. My father-in-law was honest, so he was always scolded. I was not motivated, so I was scolded too."
Yuhua glanced at Su Aixiu sympathetically and said, "You must be having a hard time at home too!"
Su Aixiu nodded. "I kept the doors and windows closed all day, afraid of getting into trouble, but I got into trouble today. This morning, when I was delivering medicine to my mother-in-law, I heard them plotting to go to the street to ask He Ye for money. They didn't hide their words from me, so I pretended not to hear. After all, Tie Zhu wasn't at home, and I didn't dare go to the street to tell him. I was afraid of getting myself into trouble, but telling Tie Zhu wouldn't have stopped it. The two of them were idle at home all day, just thinking about the little money in He Ye's hands. If I don't go to He Ye today, I'll still have to ask for it tomorrow. I can't escape from their sight."
