The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 38 Persuasion
Su Manjin took Su Xusheng with him, instead of going to the old house, he returned to his own home.

Seeing their daughter bringing a boy in, both Zeng Meiyue and Su Xusheng looked at Su Xusheng suspiciously.

"Mom and Dad, he is Su Xusheng, I told you before."

Zeng Meiyue came to her senses: "So you are Xiaosheng. I heard from Xiaoman that you taught your family how to dig razor clams when you went to the sea before. You are really a capable child."

"Mom, Su Xiaosheng not only knows how to dig razor king, he also helps her mother and grandma with a lot of farm work."

Zeng Meiyue sighed: "It's really rare to have such a well-behaved child who is so diligent and capable."

Su Xusheng's face turned red from the praise.Su Xiaoman's mother is so gentle.

Su Qinggui and Wang Qiong spent more than an hour and still haven't come back.

Zeng Meiyue took Su Xusheng to have dinner at home.

Seeing the harmonious appearance of Su Manjin's family, Su Xusheng couldn't help being envious.

In the past, when Dad didn't drink too much, their family was fine, but now...
I don't know how my mother is, why my aunt and uncle have been away for so long and haven't come back.

Su Manjin saw that the boy was anxious, so she greeted her family and accompanied him to his aunt's house to wait.

Seeing him staring at the gate of the yard absently, Su Manjin comforted him: "Don't worry, your aunt may have talked with your mother for a while."

Su Xusheng nodded, but he was still listless.

The two waited in the yard for a long time before Su Qinggui and his wife returned home against the darkness.

Su Xusheng rushed forward and raised his head: "Auntie, uncle, how is my mother?"

Wang Qionghua's face darkened: "It's all skin trauma, but it needs to be raised for a few days."

"When we passed by, your father was drunk and fell asleep, and your mother was cleaning up the mess in that place."

Su Qinggui continued: "Your aunt told your mother to go back to her mother's house to stay for a few days, but she didn't listen and just stayed there."

Wang Qionghua looked at her husband helplessly: "She was afraid. After the Chinese New Year, she moved to the sea and went to her mother's house to make trouble. Wouldn't it be bad luck for her brother and sister-in-law?"

"Xiao Sheng, you can live at home with peace of mind. When your father wakes up tomorrow, your uncle and I will go over and talk to him."

Su Xusheng lowered his head: "Thank you, auntie and uncle."

Su Manjin patted him on the shoulder, "Su Xiaosheng, don't worry. It's useless to worry about it now. Get a good night's sleep. I'll accompany you home to see your mother tomorrow."

Su Manjin went home and explained the situation of Su Xusheng's family to his family, and the Su family were all overwhelmed.

It is not easy for this child to be in such a family. At a young age, he has to experience many difficulties that others cannot imagine.

----

the next morning.

Su Xusheng was waiting outside Su Manjin's yard at early 7 o'clock.

He didn't sleep well last night and kept having nightmares. In the dream, his mother was beaten so hard that her head was bleeding and her face was bruised and purple.He woke up crying and couldn't sleep afterward.

The old house is very quiet.

The tide rose at the beginning of the month, and Su Jinshun and Su Yuhui only had two days off on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year.

The business of the restaurant is good during Chinese New Year, and the demand for seafood is high. The father and son took Su Yuwen, who wanted to experience the sea catching activities, and went out at four or five o'clock in the morning this morning.

Su Manjin just woke up, changed her clothes, took the washbasin and walked to the door to wash up, when she saw a figure leaning against the wall.

"Su Xiaosheng, why are you standing there? Come in quickly."

Su Xusheng's eyes lit up for a moment when he saw the girl's figure.

He walked quickly to her side and asked softly, "Xiao Man, will you accompany me back later?"

Su Manjin nodded: "Yeah, we agreed yesterday. I didn't know you were waiting for me here so early, otherwise I would have woken up earlier."

"Let's have some breakfast and go, shall we?"

Su Xusheng nodded, and waited for the girl to wash up. He was dragged to drink a bottle of warm milk and eat an egg before the two rushed to Qianlou Village.

Su Xusheng's mother, Wang Zhenhua, was five years older than Zeng Meiyue, and she was a diligent rural woman.

When Su Manjin and Su Xusheng arrived, she was sitting at the door weaving a fishing net.

Even though her cheekbones were swollen and her arms rolled up her sleeves were bruised and purple, apart from being slightly hunched over, she seemed to be unaware of the pain, and she was still quickly interspersed and pulled the thread of the fishing net with her hands.

Su Xusheng ran over, looked at the injuries on his mother's face and arms, his eyes were slightly red: "Mom."

Wang Zhenhua turned her head stiffly, saw her son, and forced a smile: "You are back? I went to your aunt's house last night, did you have a good meal?"

Su Xusheng nodded, and pulled Su Manjin again: "Mom, this is Xiaoman, my friend, her house is next door to my aunt's."

Wang Zhenhua glanced at Su Manjin, nodded, said nothing, and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

"Auntie, are you weaving fishing nets for use in the sea? Or are you doing handwork for others?" Su Manjin stepped forward to talk.

Wang Zhenhua: "Help others with handwork, earn money to supplement the family when you have time, and a piece of handwork costs [-] cents."

Su Manjin: "Auntie, can you weave a hundred fishing nets a day?"

Wang Zhenhua: "It's fine if you knit from morning to night, and you have to do other housework. If you can knit [-] pieces a day, it's not bad."

Su Manjin: Isn't that only a dozen dollars?
"Auntie, I heard from Su Xiaosheng that you usually carry the load at the pier, right? That job is very hard, do you want to consider staying at home and catching the sea to make money?"

Su Xusheng's father, Su Yihai, went fishing with a boat at the port in Linshi and worked for others.If Wang Zhenhua didn't follow her to the pier to shoulder the burden, she would have saved herself from being often beaten while staying with him.

Wang Zhenhua didn't know what the girl brought by her son was thinking, how much money could she make by going to sea?
A few years ago, Su Yihai insisted on building a small fishing boat, and went fishing in the East China Sea of ​​his hometown. As a result, he spent a lot of money on gas and money on wine, but he didn't make much money, and he still owed a lot of money. A pile of debts to buy a fishing boat.

"I'm doing a good job at the dock now, and I don't want to stay at home to catch the sea. Go and play with Xiao Sheng." Wang Zhenhua looked cold.

Su Xusheng was a little anxious: "Mom, I asked Xiao Man to come over and talk to you for me."

"My dad drinks and beats people all the time. We can really call the police. He will always protect us. Ask Xiaoman if you don't believe me."

Wang Zhenhua: No wonder my son has been talking about calling the police recently. It turned out that this girl was the one who instigated him.

She looked at Su Manjin coldly: "This is our family's business. His father is just drunk and lost his mind. Why call the police? He was arrested and locked up. Is it a joke?"

Su Manjin felt Wang Zhenhua's dislike, but she still patiently explained: "Auntie, beating someone while drunk often happens. This is domestic violence and it is illegal. You have to protect yourself and your children. If the uncle misses, the young one will be injured, and if it is serious, it will kill someone."

Wang Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, he just got drunk occasionally. We will solve it by ourselves. You can go back." After speaking, she moved her chair and turned her back to Su Manjin.

Su Manjin was really speechless, drunk and beat someone twice in three days, is that called occasional?
