After all, she was young, and there were young girls around her who were of similar age. Huo Xiang Mei could only reluctantly hand over the only 50 cents she had to Su Run to save her reputation.
Su Run smiled and gave her 10 cents, and said, “If you like it, come often.”
After taking the hair band, Huo Xiang Mei went home with a stomach full of anger.
Huo Xiang Yang and his mother had just arrived at the door of their house. Seeing his sister’s angry look, Huo Xiang Yang smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Hearing her brother’s question, Huo Xiang Mei unhappily said, “It’s that Su Ruan!”
Huo Xiang Yang immediately became more concerned, “What’s wrong with her? Did you go to her village?”
“No…” Huo Xiang Mei disdainfully said, “She set up a small stall at Phoenix Department Store to sell her things. Brother, go and quickly stop her. I don’t want my sister-in-law to be a speculator.”
After all, Huo Xiang Yang had worked in the south for two years, so he was not so opposed to Su Run setting up a stall and doing small business, but was a little surprised, “What is she selling?”
Huo Xiang Mei angrily showed them the hairband she had just brought, “This one is sold for 40 cents each, and she actually asked me to pay for it. She is too unkind.”
The more Huo Xiang Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. Most of the pocket money she had saved with great difficulty was gone just like that, just to purchase this small hair band.
Thinking of what she said about Su Qing Qing, Huo Xiang Mei immediately said, “Brother, I think Sister Qing Qing is much better than Su Run. You should marry Sister Qing Qing.”
Hearing that, Huo Xiang Yang laughed, “What nonsense are you talking about? Su Qing Qing is engaged.”
“Sister Qing Qing has already gone to the city to break off the engagement.”
Hearing such big news, Huo Xiang Yang and his mother were stunned.
“Su Ruan said so…” Huo Xiang Mei became excited when she mentioned this, “She said that when we met yesterday, Su Qing Qing liked you at first sight, so she went to the city today to break off the engagement and wanted to marry you.”
After hearing her sister’s words, Huo Xiang Yang felt complicated for a while. Although he liked Su Ruan more, he was still touched by Su Qing Qing’s efforts for him…
Huo Xiang Yang was still struggling, but his mother firmly said, “Don’t talk nonsense, Su Ruan was probably just saying it in anger.”
“Even if it’s true, Su Qing Qing can’t marry your brother!”
Seeing her mother’s strong stance, Huo Xiang Mei was surprised, “Mom, didn’t you like Sister Qing Qing very much yesterday?”
“If she wasn’t going to be my daughter-in-law, why should I hate her?”
Mother Huo asked Huo Xiang Mei, “Let me ask you, if when you went to meet your marriage partner, and Xiang Li dressed prettier than you, behaved lovelier than you, and pestered your marriage partner, do you think Xiang Li was good?”
Hearing this, Huo Xiang Mei’s eyes widened, “She has no shame?”
After speaking, Huo Xiang Mei immediately understood, “So, it was Su Qing Qing who bullied Su Ruan yesterday? Did she deliberately want to snatch my brother from her?”
Hearing her sister’s nonsense, Huo Xiang Yang laughed, “You think too much. Su Qing Qing is just a cheerful girl, and Su Ruan is not a talkative person. She has been like that since high school.”
Mother Huo didn’t want to elaborate more. After all, it was harmless for Su Qing Qing to seduce her son, and it could also cause Su Ruan a sense of crisis…
But if Su Qing Qing was planning to marry her son, Mother Huo couldn’t just sit back and watch.
“Didn’t you hear what her second aunt said yesterday?! Her father left her to live with the old lady when she was only three years old and her father is now the director of the Education Bureau.”
“Her family’s condition must be good, but she has never lived in the town. They say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Just look at the girl living next door and you will know.”
“Look at Su Ruan’s situation, yesterday her second aunt has been holding us back and not letting us talk to Su Ruan. I thought the second branch of the Su family just couldn’t stand Su Ruan living well, but I didn’t expect that they had this absurd idea.”
Huo Xiang Yang thought about Su Ruan’s acting as a docile background yesterday, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable and a bit guilty.
No wonder she had that attitude yesterday. Did Su Ruan think it wouldn’t work out so she just gave up on their marriage?!
Seeing her son’s soft heart, Mother Huo continued, “Su Qing Qing is engaged and can flirt with you. When she meets someone better, she will continue to flirt with others. She is not a serious person.”
“She is not like that…” Huo Xiang Yang still subconsciously defended Su Qing Qing, “The person she is engaged to is a paralytic…”
Who would want to marry a paralytic man?! It is understandable that she has some thoughts.
Huo Xiang Mei immediately said, “How can she meet someone better than my brother? I think it’s not impossible for her to break off the engagement to be with my brother…”
At this point, she pouted and added, “Anyway, I don’t like Su Ruan. Yesterday I felt that she spoke to my brother in a very weird way. I’m afraid she did this to me on purpose. She is really very temperamental. Who can afford to offend her?”
