Chapter 486 Her Grandma Went Crazy Too

"She's talking nonsense!"

Grandma Su was furious. She disliked Li Banxia because she felt that Li Banxia had taken her son away, but that didn't mean she was stupid enough to think that the child Li Banxia gave birth to wasn't from the Su family.

"Why does He Taohua say that the third son and the others aren't from our Su family? They are! Guotai looks like your father, a kind and honest child. An and the third son are just like you, lazy and unwilling to study, and like to steal chickens and dogs! The fourth son is like me, smart and quick-witted, and was directly recommended to Tsinghua and Peking University..."

"mom."

Su Youfu curled his lip, finding Su's old lady's self-praise unbearable. "Don't flatter yourself. Our family has been poor farmers for eight generations. When have we ever had a college student? And you take after me... Do you even know how to write your own name? Hurry up and give me the money. I need it..."

"No."

Old Mrs. Su pointed at Su Youfu, shook the knife handle twice, then a sudden thought struck her. She put the knife to her own neck. "You want money? I'll kill you! Otherwise, you'll have to hand over your retirement pension to me. If you don't, I'll kill myself so people will know you're unfilial and trying to force your own mother to her death! If you don't give it to me... I'll never let He Taohua enter my Su family, even if it kills me. She wants to use your money to support her son? She's dreaming!"

Grandma Su puffed out her chest, looking quite the part.

"Mom! Stop making a scene..."

Su Youfu was so angry he almost vomited blood. The old lady who was thinking about rescuing Jiefang to be her dutiful grandson in the morning suddenly stood up like this.

Behind his back, he cursed the person who had bewitched Old Lady Su half to death.

The old lady said she wouldn't give it to him and that was it. If anyone dared to force her, she would kill herself, run herself over, or starve herself to death. Although Su Youfu knew she was reluctant to die and was just making a fuss, he turned his mother's house upside down but still couldn't find where the money was hidden!

He was at his wit's end, so he could only put the matter aside for now and slowly think of a way to coax the old lady to take it out.

As darkness fell, Su Hongmei returned and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get an aluminum pot and a frying pan to repair. As she stepped into the kitchen, the aroma of scallion pancakes wafted into her nostrils.

She paused in her steps.

Looking up, I saw Grandma Su humming a tune I couldn't place, making pancakes with a spatula. Several pancakes were already cooked in the basket next to her, covered with a cloth.

An aluminum pot was sitting on a coal stove, cooking sweet potato porridge.

"Milk, pot..."

Grandma Su looked up and saw her, giving her a smile. "I went to get it repaired this afternoon, and I also bought four bowls. Are you hungry? Try my scallion pancakes. I put oil filling in them, and used a lot of oil. They're so delicious..."

Su Hongmei, "..."

She stood there stunned for a while, then Grandma Su frowned. "What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to feed you?"

"No, no, I am..."

Su Hongmei wanted to express her surprise. Since her parents' divorce, Grandma Su had never given her a kind look, yet today she had actually cooked a meal and was even smiling as she offered her scallion pancakes. This was…

What's going on here?

Thinking of the three hundred yuan she had on her, Su Hongmei's expression changed, and she took two steps back. "I'm going to wash my hands."

She quickly went into the house and glanced into Su Youfu's room; he was sleeping.

She swallowed hard, returned to her room, moved a bench to the doorway, stood on it, stuffed the money into a notch in the door, then quickly got off and put the bench back in its place.

After she washed her hands and went to the kitchen, Grandma Su had already finished making the last scallion pancake. Seeing her come in, she took a spatula, scooped out a piece, and handed it to her, saying, "Try it..."

Su Hongmei forced a smile, took it, tore off a small piece, and ate it.

I must say, the moment you put the scallion pancake in your mouth, the aroma of scallions and eggs explodes instantly. The oil and crispness give the pancake a crumbly texture, making it a different kind of delicious scallion pancake from Li Banxia's.

It's really delicious.

She nodded and sincerely praised Grandma Su, "Grandma, your scallion pancakes are delicious."

Grandma Su shook her little head proudly.

"That's right. When I was young, I relied on this skill to raise your father. I would help the neighbor make a pot of cornbread in exchange for two steamed buns, and help the neighbor bake a few pieces in exchange for a handful of rice. That's how I raised your father."

After saying that, she tiptoed and peeked into the west room. Seeing that there was no movement in Su Youfu's room, she secretly grabbed a dollar and stuffed it into Su Hongmei's pocket.

Su Hongmei was so startled she almost jumped up. "Grandma, why...why are you giving me money?"

"Shh!"

Grandma Su glared at her, "What are you yelling about? You can save this money from now on. You're my own granddaughter. There's no reason why that bitch He Taohua can spend it but you can't! I'm saving all your father's money for you, and I'll give it to you as a dowry when you get married..."

Su Hongmei was completely bewildered. She glanced back at Su Youfu's house, then back at Old Lady Su, who looked like she was standing up for her. She was just as confused as when she found out her mother had abandoned her and her father wouldn't let her go to school so she would have to earn money for Lin Jiefang.

At first, she thought her mother was crazy, and later she thought her father was crazy.

Now……

Her grandmother went mad too.

She wondered what kind of trouble Grandma Su and Su Youfu were up to now.

How could two people who are obsessed with money suddenly become so close?!

That's impossible.

As if to confirm her words, Old Lady Su said the next second, "...but your dowry has to be left in my home, and you have to take care of me in my old age. Your father and your brothers can't clean me up or take care of my bodily needs, so you have to remember how good I've been to you..."

really.

Su Hongmei gave a self-deprecating laugh.

She knew why she had suddenly become so nice; it turned out she had this in mind.

Su Hongmei took out the one yuan coin and said, "Grandma, this one yuan isn't enough for your retirement. I can't support you with just one yuan. You should keep it and give it to someone who is willing to take care of you in your old age."

After saying that, he handed the money back to Old Lady Su.

Grandma Su was almost furious. She spat at her and said, "Isn't a dollar money? When I was a kid, adults wouldn't give me a single cent. If they gave you a dollar, you'd complain it wasn't enough. If you complained it wasn't enough, they wouldn't give you a single cent!"

He grumbled and cursed as he stuffed the money back into his pocket.

Looking up, she saw Su Hongmei still holding the scallion pancake she had made in one hand. She snatched it away, saying, "Don't eat the scallion pancakes I made. You won't be filial to me after you eat them. Why should I let you eat them for free?! I'm not your mother! I owe you what I owe you..."

Su Hongmei glanced at her, left the kitchen, went back to her room to get her own tea mug, scooped out two spoonfuls of fried noodles, added hot water, stirred it, sat on the bed, and slowly finished eating.

Grandma Su didn't get the answer she wanted, so she kept making veiled rants and using foul language in the kitchen.

Su Hongmei sighed, took off her coat, and prepared to rest.

A gust of wind blew in, and she touched her arm, feeling cold, thinking how nice it would be to live on campus.

However, there is one downside to living at school: there are curfews, so she can't do part-time jobs after school and still has to stay at home.

Just bear with it, wait it out until she goes to college.

When Grandma Su came out of the kitchen, she saw that Su Hongmei had already lain down and was asleep. She was furious and kicked the bench under the bed. The bench was kicked over, and the bed board fell to the ground with a 'crash'.
