Chapter 279 Trying to ease the atmosphere
The Qin family courtyard in front of the gate looked quiet and solemn, with a faint floral scent floating in the air, giving people a solemn and quiet feeling. Mother Su's heart trembled in this atmosphere, and she knew that she was about to face a difficult conversation.
She knocked on the door gently, expecting a response from inside. However, the door did not open immediately, so she could only wait patiently.
After a while, the door was finally opened slowly, revealing a woman in simple and elegant clothes. She was the mistress of the Qin family, Qin's mother.
"Hello, Mrs. Su, what's the matter?" Mother Qin's voice was calm and cold, but there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
Mother Su looked at Mother Qin in front of her, and felt a little flustered. She knew she needed to control her emotions and not let her nervousness show.
"Aunt Qin, I'm Su's mother. I brought some small gifts and want to have a good talk with you." Su's mother tried hard to keep smiling and tried to ease the atmosphere.
There was no change in the expression on Qin's mother's face. She glanced at the gift basket in Su's mother's hand, and then said coldly: "Mrs. Su, I am not interested in your apology. I don't need your little gift."
Su's mother's heart sank. She knew this was not a good sign, but she still tried to hold on.
"Aunt Qin, please listen to my explanation. Maybe there is some misunderstanding. We can communicate properly." Su's mother forced a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.
However, Mother Qin interrupted her mercilessly: “Mrs. Su, I am not interested in your explanation, please leave.”
After saying that, Qin's mother closed the door and refused Su's mother entry.
Mother Su stood in front of the door, her heart full of helplessness and regret. She knew that she could no longer save her relationship with the Qin family, and everything was lost.
Su's mother was shocked. She had never thought that Su Ming and Qin Huairu would have a falling out. The couple should have supported each other and faced the challenges of life together, but they did not expect such an irreconcilable conflict to arise.
She was extremely anxious and realized her responsibility as a mother. She had to find a way to solve this problem and not allow a bigger rift to appear in the family.
"Son, why did you fall out with Ru'er?" Su's mother asked anxiously, her voice full of worry and confusion.
Su Ming was silent for a moment. He knew that he could not hide the truth and could only face it honestly.
"Mom, I'm also helpless about this matter. Ru'er and I have different ideas, which leads to some conflicts." Su Ming admitted frankly that he did not expect things to develop to this point.
After hearing this, Su's mother felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She knew that this problem was not easy to solve, but she also knew that as a mother, she had to do her best to help her son solve it.
"Son, you have to think about this carefully. You can't just let this matter go. You and Ru'er are husband and wife. You should understand each other and face difficulties together." Su's mother persuaded, revealing a hint of warmth and care in her tone.
Su Ming nodded to show his understanding, but his heart was still full of helplessness and annoyance. He knew that this problem could not be solved overnight, and it would take time and effort to adjust the relationship between them.
Seeing her son's firm attitude, Su's mother knew that her persuasion might not work immediately, but she was determined not to give up and would try her best to help her son and daughter-in-law resolve the conflict.
She patted Su Ming's shoulder and said gently, "Son, no matter what difficulties you encounter, Mom will support you. You must be strong and believe that everything will be fine."
The atmosphere in the Su family became heavy, and the Su couple were immersed in helplessness and regret. They originally thought that their son Su Ming and daughter-in-law Qin Huairu were the kind of couple who could face difficulties together and support each other, but the reality disappointed them.
Father Su sat on the sofa in the living room, frowning, holding a cigarette in his hand, but he crushed the cigarette butt unconsciously. His face was full of worry and trouble, and he was anxious. As a parent, he hoped to see his son and daughter-in-law get along well, but now such a thing happened, which made him feel helpless.
Su's mother sat aside, holding a book about family medicine, but she flipped through it unconsciously, her mind not on the book at all. She thought of her son when he was little, the lively and lovely child, but now he was caught up in a dispute between husband and wife, which made her feel extremely heartbroken and annoyed.
"My dear, what should we do?" Su's mother asked worriedly. She hoped to discuss countermeasures with Su's father and solve this problem as soon as possible.
Father Su sighed deeply, raised his head, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to help them solve the problem."
When Su's mother heard this, her heart moved. She knew that what her husband said made sense. As elders, they could not bear to see their son and daughter-in-law's marriage in jeopardy. They had to do everything they could to help them.
"Yes, we must find a way to help them." Mother Su nodded in agreement. She knew that this problem was not easy to solve, but as long as they worked together, they would be able to find a solution.
The Su family sat at home in a gloomy mood, and a depressing atmosphere filled the room. They could no longer get the 200 yuan living allowance Qin Huairu gave them every month, which was a considerable income for an ordinary rural family like them, but now it was like an invisible burden on their hearts.
Father Su sighed and said leisurely, "How are we going to live in the future?"
Mother Su also sighed: "Alas, I thought that if Ming married Ru'er, there would be one more person to take care of us, but I didn't expect that now..."
They all fell into deep thought, recalling the scene when their son Su Ming got married. At that time, they were full of joy, thinking that there would be one more person to take care of them, but now, everything has become so unpredictable.
Father Su frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly stood up, saying with a firm look: "No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Although Ming is our son, he has his own way to go. We can't always rely on him, we have to solve the problem with our own hands."
Su's mother was moved when she heard this. She knew that her husband was right. They couldn't always rely on their son, but should work hard to find their own way out.
"Yes, we can't always rely on Ming. We have to rely on our own strength to overcome the difficulties." Su's mother said firmly. She was determined to cheer up and find a solution to the problem.
They discussed their next plan and decided to find a way to do more farm work to increase the family income. Although they are not young anymore, they are unwilling to be overwhelmed by life, but to face it positively and work hard to change the status quo.
