Chapter 29

Zhu Yanshu glanced at the crowd and called out to Yang Yucan, Yang Yuyan and Zhang Ma took the opportunity to escape.

Yang Yucan dawdled over, Zhu Yanshu pulled her back and asked, “What are you and Yan Yan talking about at home?” Why so profound?

Yang Yucan immediately confessed that she first wanted to arouse Yang Yanyan’s father-daughter love, and later wanted to remind her to be careful of Su Chunjun.

Zhu Yanshu: “Oh, what was the result?”

The result is that father-daughter love is impossible to have, the sisters together spit on their own father fiercely! And Su Chunjun’s skill is so profound that he uses a sugar-coated bomb to knock Yang Yuyan to the ground, and she is so weak that she whimpered.

“Yan Yan didn’t believe a word I said! It had to be said that the one who spent money on her wasn’t a liar!” Yang Yuchan exasperatedly said.

Zhu Yan Shu also understood, looking at her meaningfully, “I do think Yan Yan has a point. Compared with your reasoning, her reasoning is more tenable. Think about it carefully, is this the truth?”

Yang Yu Cicada was entangled in all sorts of reasoning and didn’t understand for a moment, Zhu Yanshu also left.

After lunch, Zhu Yanshu asked Yang Yucan: “It’s almost New Year’s Eve, the school should be closed, right?”

Yang Yucan shook her head: “I haven’t been to school much these days, so I don’t know when the school will be closed. But it’s almost these days. I’ll go take a look this afternoon.”

Zhu Yanshu nodded: “Go ahead, go ahead. Get together with your classmates and see you again is next year. Do you still have money on you?”

Yang Yucan was just about to nod her head, when she suddenly remembered Ma Tianbao, biting her lips and shaking her head instead.

Zhu Yanshu opened her handbag and took out two dollars and handed it to her, “Go out with your classmates to eat something, don’t be cheap.”

Yang Yucchan lowered her head and softly answered, “Uh, I know.”

After lunch, Yang Yucan left in a hurry.

Yang Yuyan went to take a nap. Zhu Yan Shu also felt a little sleepy, yawning, she went back to the house and lay down on the bed, intending to take a nap as well.

Zhang Ma came in to bring her stewed bird’s nest and said: “Madam, why did you send Miss back to school again? She even gave her money, aren’t you worried about her going to Ma Tianbao?”

Zhu Yanshu leaned against the bed and ate the bird’s nest, saying, “I knew she would go, I just gave her money to let her go.”

Zhang Ma: “Then what do you mean by this? You’re not against it again? Think Ma Tianbao is better?”

Zhu Yanshu: “How could that be!”

She put down her bowl, embraced the woolen blanket, and said, “Big sister’s nature is different from Yan Yan. Yan Yan looks powerful, but in reality, she is soft-hearted and has a soft ear. Eldest sister looks quiet, but actually has a big idea in her heart, she may not even be willing to listen to what I say, and has her own ideas on everything.”

Zhang Ma sighed: “Alas, big sister is clearly the most reassuring child.”

Zhu Yanshu patted the bed and asked Zhang Ma to sit and talk.

“It’s also my fault, I used to think that she understood and didn’t let people worry about her, so she went all the way to worry about Yan Yan’s heart. I do understand now that a child can’t be watched without being watched! You think you’re saving money, but you’ll have to make up for it later! Not a single cent is missing from you!” She sighed and said, “This matter of Ma Tianbao, in the end, we still need big sister to make up her own mind. We can only knock on the sidelines, we can’t directly tell her that this person is no good!”

Zhang Ma nodded, “That’s the truth!”

Zhu Yanshu: “These days, Yan Yan and I have said quite a bit to her, although we didn’t explicitly say anything bad about Ma Tianbao, big sister also sensed that it wasn’t as simple as just love between her and Ma Tianbao. As long as she thinks of this, she doesn’t need me to stop her from the rest, she’ll figure it out on her own.”

Zhang Ma: “Then what if she can’t figure it out?”

Zhu Yanshu sighed heavily and said with a dark face, “If she can’t figure it out, she can think about it for a few more years! I won’t stop her from talking to Ma Tianbao for a few years. Want to get married? Hmph, that won’t work! We are not polite, but the wedding must be organized, right? I’ve never heard of the mother’s family organizing a wedding. The Ma’s family is so poor that when they get out of the Jin family, their pockets will be cleaner than their faces, so how can they organize a wedding? If I don’t mention anything, can the Ma family not give anything? If they were that shameless, I’d thank them! I don’t believe Big Sister will still be confused by then!”

Zhang Ma flicked her palm and laughed, “Mistress, this is a good move! The more generous you are and the more considerate you are to the Ma family, the more attentive the Ma family will be! If we don’t want anything, the Ma family won’t prepare anything! If we don’t mention the wedding banquet, the Ma family can’t just marry big sister on the road!”

Zhu Yan Shu sighed, “This is also the solution of no solution. I am prepared to raise big sister for the rest of my life, I’ll raise her even if she becomes an old girl.”

Zhang Ma also sighed along with her, looking at Zhu Yan Shu’s depressed expression, she busily said, “Mistress, I think the second young miss is quite lucky.”

As soon as Yang Yuyan was mentioned, Zhu Yanshu also smiled and said, “This child is also lucky, I wouldn’t have thought that I could catch a good son-in-law for her right in front of my house! Although she doesn’t have any money, but she is capable, knows how to get ahead, knows how to be generous, and is so good to Yang Yuyan. I can see that the heavens have seen me as pitiful, and have finally solved a problem for me!”

Zhang Ma also followed suit and praised Su Chunjun: “Although Mr. Su is a bit poor, he is really generous with his money to Yan Yan! I think he’s even better than you were before.”

Zhu Yan Shu blankly stared: “Why are you talking about me?”

Mrs. Zhang: “In the past, that Yang guy would only send you flowers and take you dancing. What are flowers worth? You could buy a bunch of them for a dime on the road! You even bought the record player for dancing. You’re so happy about that. Yan Yan at least receives things bought with real money, isn’t that better than you?”

Zhu Yanshu’s chest was filled with old anger that rose up and could not be let out, she grumbled and lay down, pulled the blanket upwards and closed her eyes, “I’ll sleep for a while, and I’ll be refreshed to play cards in the afternoon.”

Zhang Ma got up and took the empty bowl out, muttered: “OK, sleep, this is too much for me to say the wrong thing!”

Zhang Ma closed the door and went out, Zhu Yanshu was in bed cooking pancakes, not feeling sleepy at all. She got up from the bed, walked to the window, under the window on the table there is a record player, shelves placed a dozen vinyl records, Zhang Ma day after day to wipe the dust, even the box is clean.

She seemed to hear the familiar sound of the piano again, it was Tchaikovsky’s Serenade.

Zhu Yanshu woke up as if nothing had happened, and even told Zhang Ma what to eat tonight, and then went to play cards again in high spirits.

Zhang Ma bought the food and then went to rummage through the boxes, turning out many pieces of clothing and various accessories, from large scarves and hats to small ties and wallets, Chinese long shirts and Western-style jackets!

Zhang mom a trip to move the things are downstairs, tired straight waist: “Aigoo, tired me! I don’t know if I didn’t look for it, but there are still so many things left here!”

Yang Yuyan felt that all these things have their own “Yang Xuhe” buffs, which are annoying, and went up to look at them with a critical eye, only using her thumb and forefinger to hold the things up, and then threw them back after taking a look at them, which was a handsome and relieving action.

Zhang Ma could not bear to watch and pushed her away, ”My second young lady, this thing has been put away for years and is full of dust! Don’t touch and dirty your clothes, when I clean them up, I’ll send them to your teacher Su, okay, don’t mess me up here, go write your homework!”

But Yang Yuyan was curious and refused to leave, so she took her homework books to the living room and watched Zhang Ma clean up while she wrote.

With an audience, Zhang Ma couldn’t help but pick up a piece and tell her how much she bought it for.

“This one costs over eighty dollars!” Zhang Ma tsked as she lifted up a ratty gray blazer.

“Just this one little thing cost over forty dollars!” She picked out another treasure blue tie.

“Here’s another pair of pants.” Zhang Ma picked out a pair of wrinkled suit pants as well, with a yellowed shirt pressed underneath.

Before long there were four or five piles of folded clothes on the floor.

Yang Yuyan gasped at the top, “So many!”

Zhang Ma laughed coldly: “Your mom was like a white boy, constantly buying clothes for your dad! Your dad is a thin, small, and tall man, with a long face and a kind face. Your mom loves him like anything.”

Yang Yuyan was shocked: “There is such a thing!”

Zhang Ma: “Yes!”

Zhang Ma carried her shirts and other things to the laundry room, her voice carried over from afar: “Why don’t they say that bitches are heartless and playwrights are unrighteous. Your mom was so devoted to your dad that she gave him two children, and she had a great life! He turned his face away and disowned him!”

Yang Yuyan used to hate Yang Xuhe, hate is a name, the image is fuzzy, portrait is also used her former father. In the past few days, after listening to many of Yang Xuhe’s stories, I was surprised to find that Mr. Yang’s previous popularity in this family was still good, at least Yang Yucan and Zhu Yanshu probably both genuinely liked him, and Yang Yuyan’s own father probably wouldn’t hate this father either. The only one who disliked him for being a white boy was Zhang Ma, and now it looked like Zhang Ma had a fiery eye.

She followed her to the laundry room, where Zhang Ma boiled water and prepared to pack up these old clothes, and Yang Yuyan followed her over and whispered, “So what happened after that?”

Zhang Ma spread the clothes on the board and said, “What later?”

Yang Yuyan: “What happened to Yang and my mom?”

Zhang Ma raised her head and thought, “He didn’t dare to come back, so he asked someone else to come to your mom to intercede, and wrote her a letter, but your mom tore it up.”

Yang Yuyan: “Then what did he say?”

Zhang Ma snorted coldly: “What could he say? He said that he didn’t dare to tell your mom to her face for fear that she would be sad and upset, that he also remembered the feelings between the two of them in the past, and that he still had love for this family. But he can’t abandon that woman because she’s delicate and pitiful and all that, it’s all nonsense!”

Yang Yuyan: “My sister said that he even brought someone back to try to get the luggage?”

Zhang Ma sneered, “Isn’t that so? He left home for love, and when he went out and realized that the Zhu family’s food was still delicious, he had the cheek to come back and try to move the things your mom bought for him again. I don’t know what this man’s cheek is made of!”

Yang Yuyan also felt strange, “How did he dare to come?”

Zhang Ma hated it, “Because by then he had already published the newspaper that he had divorced your mom! The newspaper was still full of people praising him. He probably felt that the wood has been turned into a boat, your mom is crying or making a scene can not be helped, so he brought someone together, both to take advantage of another time, but also to force your mom to admit that the divorce has been divorced, the two people have nothing to do with it. However, at that time you are lying in the hospital, your mom stayed in the hospital, I run every day, there is no one at home. They came a few times and stopped coming.”

Yang Yuyan was dumbfounded, “So that’s what happened!”

Zhang Ma became more and more angry, “He eats and drinks from the Zhu family! When he wants to get a divorce, he is afraid that your mom will talk about her previous favor, so he tries to take the lead and make a big fuss over a family matter! Let your mom lose the adults! And then he thought your mom is a big lady, certainly want face, will not be serious with him, and then come over to want to take advantage of again, to Zhu family to buy him all the things to take. Fortunately, your mother is not stupid to the home, and he invited as a persuasive person to say that since the divorce has been, that two people have nothing to do, Mr. Yang left so dry and quick, I will not delay him. As for his stuff, it’s all been thrown away, if Mr. Yang can’t bear to part with it, go rummage through the trash!”

“Good! That’s how it should be!” Yang Yuyan hated it.

This person was really shameless!

Zhang Ma turned over the cuffs and collars of the dresses and jackets, etc., and they all had Yang Xuhe’s name monogrammed on them. She went back to the kitchen and took a small pair of scissors used to pull out pig’s hair and removed all these embroidered characters.

Yang Yuyan went over to look at them and hated, “Turn around and I’ll embroider Mr. Su’s name on all of them!”

Zhang Ma looked her up and down in shock: “With that skill? You still want to embroider characters? Then Mr. Su is too pathetic.”

Yang Yuyan is unconvinced: “Why can’t I do it?”

Mrs. Zhang: “Fine, fine, fine, as long as Mrs. Su isn’t ashamed.” She gave her a scarf, “Take this to practice first and embroider a bigger one.”
