Chapter 103 I found that I just couldn't stand it
"Tell me, when did this old lady pass away?" Mrs. Yu asked Yu Guochao.
They all knew that Old Lady Su had been ill for quite some time, and it seemed that she really could not get better this time. Old Lady Su was at Su's house, and Yu Guochao and his wife had not yet visited her. Old Lady Su was of little use to them, so if she was willing to give them the money, they could go and see her.
There were so many people in the Su family, and Su's mother stayed at home the whole time. When Yu's wife and her husband went there, they wanted to search old lady Su's room, but it was not easy to search.
"Not sure." Yu Guochao said, "We have to wait."
"Mom, do you want to go over?" Yu Dasao said, "Well, Mom and I will go over to see the old lady."
Sister Yu thought that when she went there, she would see if Old Lady Su had anything to give her. If not, she would look for it in the house herself. With Aunt Su around, Sister Yu could look for things more confidently and boldly, and it would not be easy for the Su family to find her.
Old Mrs. Su is not dead yet, and each of these people is eyeing the things in her hands.
Su Yanan didn't think about the things in Mrs. Su's hand. The old lady was so old, how could she have much money in her hand? Life costs money everywhere. It's not enough to just open your mouth and breathe air. People also have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Everything costs money.
It was a new day, and Aunt Su had not yet gone out, so Yu Dasao went to find Aunt Su, meaning that she would go with Aunt Su.
"I made white flour buns," said Mrs. Yu, "for grandma to eat."
"White flour buns?" Aunt Su was puzzled.
"Yes." Yu Dasao said. In fact, she bought two steamed buns and boiled two eggs. Yu Dasao was reluctant to spend more money on Mrs. Su, but they had to go there without bringing some things.
"Yamei has it." said Aunt Su.
"You should bring some with you. You can't go there empty-handed." Mrs. Yu said, "Mom, didn't you make some soup for me?"
"No need to stew it, your uncle and aunt have prepared it." Aunt Su said, "We can just go there directly."
These days, Su's mother bought several chickens, all of which were stewed for Old Lady Su to eat. The Su family told Old Lady Su to eat as much as she wanted and not to be reluctant to eat. As she got older, she needed to eat more.
When Aunt Su and Sister Yu arrived, Ning Yanjing had already brought the goose stewed with mushrooms to Old Lady Su. Ning Yanjing brought more, so Mother Su and Father Su could eat it.
"Don't let Xueqing and Xiaojunjun come over these few days." Old Madam Su told Ning Yanjing, "I've already seen them."
"Okay." Ning Yanjing nodded.
"You don't have to come here so often." Old Mrs. Su said, "There are others here."
"Okay, I'll have someone bring the food over." Ning Yanjing said. Since Old Lady Su said so, they could not come over, but they still had to bring the food.
"Send it, send it." Old Mrs. Su said. She couldn't eat it for long anyway.
Ning Yanjing left soon, and Yu Dasao and Su Xiaogu went to see Old Madam Su.
That afternoon, Sister Yu was caught searching Old Lady Su's room by Second Aunt Su. Little Aunt Su helped Old Lady Su to go outside for a walk. Sister Yu was in Old Lady Su's room, saying something like helping the old lady tidy up the room, but Second Aunt Su felt something was wrong. Sure enough, when Second Aunt Su came over, she saw Sister Yu rummaging around there, and it was obvious that Sister Yu was looking for something.
"What are you doing?" Aunt Su asked coldly.
"I..." Sister Yu was shocked, "I'm cleaning the house for grandma."
"I see you are not cleaning the house, you are searching for money." said Aunt Su Er.
"No, that's not the case." Mrs. Yu said quickly.
"You don't have to clean the room, just go out." Aunt Su said.
"Aunt, we can clean up grandma's room together." Yu Dasao's meaning was very clear. She thought that Second Aunt Su must be thinking about how much money Grandma Su had hidden, and Second Aunt Su must want that money.
"You don't have to clean it up, and neither do I." Aunt Su said, "Let your aunt clean it up."
Aunt Su Er understood what Yu Dasao meant, and she had never thought of snatching anything. Aunt Su Er came to take care of Old Lady Su sincerely, and Yu Dasao's words were too disgusting.
"If you don't leave, do you want me to tell your mother?" Aunt Su said coldly.
Mrs. Yu had no choice but to leave first. She was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, which would be even worse.
When Su Xiao aunt came back, Su Er aunt did not tell Su Dasao about Yu Dasao's behavior in front of Su Laotai. Su Er aunt pulled Su Xiao aunt aside, and while Su Laotai was sleeping, Su Er aunt told Su Xiao aunt about Yu Dasao's behavior.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Aunt Su didn't believe that Yu Dasao would steal.
"How is that impossible?" Aunt Su Er said, "I saw her rummaging around over there with my own eyes. Are you also thinking about the things that mom left behind?"
"No, I don't." Aunt Su quickly shook her head.
"That's your daughter-in-law, how could you not know what she's going to do?" Aunt Su said, "Mom hasn't worked for many years, you know that. How much money can I have? If I have some money, it's given to me by your brother and Xueqing's children. How much money have you and your two sons given to me?"
Second Aunt Su couldn't stand the behavior of Little Aunt Su's family. Little Aunt Su's family had previously hidden money and went to the Su family to borrow money. Now, Sister Yu was even rummaging through Old Lady Su's things.
A few days ago, when Mrs. Su came back from the hospital, she had already handed over all the gold jewelry to Su's mother. Mrs. Su did not intend to leave gold jewelry to her two daughters. Those gold jewelry were bought by Su Xueqing and should be left to Su's mother. As for some money, Mrs. Su has not taken it out yet.
Old Mrs. Su hid the money in her clothes, and she also hid some money in her room. She could hardly remember where she put the money. Old Mrs. Su told Su's mother that if she died, she should search the clothes carefully and not burn the money.
"Mom isn't dead yet, yet you're reaching out your hands towards her. Is this appropriate?" Second Aunt Su was very angry. Old Madam Su was already so sick, and these people only brought two steamed buns and eggs, and didn't even think to bring a chicken.
"I……"
"If you really want to take care of me, then come. If you want to take care of me for my money, then don't come." Aunt Su said, "Don't make me angry."
"The money is in mom's hands. I didn't think of taking it." Aunt Su said.
"You didn't think about it, but did your husband think about it? Did your son and daughter-in-law think about it?" Aunt Su said.
Aunt Su Er didn't believe that the Yu family didn't miss the things in Old Lady Su's hands. Father and mother Su had always been filial, and Sister-in-law Su San and her husband also respected the old lady. They didn't ask Old Lady Su to spend too much money, and they gave her some pocket money on weekdays. Old Lady Su didn't spend the money, but saved it. Over the years, she did save some money.
Second Aunt Su was too far away from Old Lady Su. Old Lady Su did not ask Second Aunt Su to help hide the money, but she also said that Su's father, Su's mother and others gave her some money. Old Lady Su did not ask Second Aunt Su to help hide the money, so it was even more impossible for her to ask Little Aunt Su to help hide the money. If Little Aunt Su was asked to help hide the money, the money would fall into the hands of the Yu family. The Yu family would then turn against them and say that it was given to Little Aunt Su by Old Lady Su, not that Old Lady Su asked Little Aunt Su to help hide it.
Therefore, neither Second Aunt Su nor Little Aunt Su knew how much money Old Lady Su had. The Yu family only thought that Old Lady Su still had a lot of money, and Su Xueqing and her family gave Old Lady Su red envelopes during festivals, and they gave quite a lot.
"I……"
"You come to take care of mom, so just come and take care of mom. Don't think about those things." Aunt Su Er said, "When mom was sick, neither you nor I paid for it. Over the years, all those things were taken care of by your brother and sister-in-law. Don't think that because of gender equality, you should share those things in the house."
Second Aunt Su hates those who ask for things in the name of gender equality. It's not that they can't use this name, but it depends on what they have done. Father and Mother Su have been very good to the Yu family. They have lent so much money, but Yu Guochao still hasn't paid back the money he owes to the Su family. Little Aunt Su doesn't know how to ask Yu Guochao to pay back the money as soon as possible. Whenever there is something, they go to Father Su and ask him to pay more.
Don't say that houses are valuable. In the early days, houses were really worthless. They were all used for the sons of the family to get married. Aunt Su also had a house to live in after she got married. It's not that she had no place to live. In that era, every household was like this. If the family was poor, it would be easier for those who had houses to marry a daughter-in-law, but it would be even more difficult for those who didn't have houses to marry a daughter-in-law.
"Second sister, I really didn't think about it." Aunt Su said.
"Remember what I said." said Aunt Su Er.
"Remember, remember." How could Aunt Su not remember?
Second Aunt Su didn't dare to say too much, for fear that Old Lady Su would wake up.
Maybe Auntie Su felt embarrassed, so she went back quickly and didn't stay here any longer. When Old Lady Su woke up and didn't see Auntie Su, she asked a question.
"My little sister has something going on at home, so she's going back first." Aunt Su said.
"Did her eldest son rummage through things in my room?" asked Old Mrs. Su.
"Mom, you...how did you know?" asked Aunt Su Er.
"Something in the room has been moved, how could I not know?" Old Lady Su said, "I knew it at a glance. Your sister-in-law rarely helps me to organize things, and it was only because I was seriously ill recently and not feeling well that I folded the clothes and put them away and organized some more things. She was not in my room just now, not at home, so it must have been her who moved it."
Old Mrs. Su didn't say anything about Little Aunt Su, so Little Aunt Su shouldn't have gone through those things, but it's not certain about Sister Yu.
"It was her." Aunt Su nodded. "When I came back, I saw her rummaging for something and told her to stop looking."
"Just don't look for it." Old Madam Su said, "She wants to find money, but I don't have that much money for her to look through. There's not much money in my clothes, and if there is money hidden, it's hidden in a place that's hard to find."
Old Mrs. Su became more and more disgusted with Sister Yu, who only cared about money. How many people in the Yu family really cared about her health? They all hoped that she would die sooner.
"Mom, eat something first." Aunt Su Er said, "There's some mushroom stewed with goose in the pot that's warmed up. It's perfect for you to eat."
Old Mrs. Su’s appetite is not very good, she only eats a little at a time.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about those people." Aunt Su Er said, "I've already told my little sister, and she will tell her family."
"She..." Old Mrs. Su did not have any hope for Little Aunt Su.
On the way back, Aunt Su wanted to talk to Sister Yu. When she arrived at the destination, she did not go in, but went back to her own home. Aunt Su thought that Aunt Su Er had already told Sister Yu, so she should not go and tell her. If she went and told her again, Sister Yu would lose face.
When facing her daughter-in-law, Aunt Su still wanted to give her daughter-in-law some face and not embarrass her too much.
Mrs. Yu didn't care about all this. She said that Aunt Su was stupid in front of Yu Guochao.
"Mom, really, the old lady has so many things, why didn't she bring some back?" Yu Dasao said, "She took the old lady out, why didn't she take the second aunt with her, and let the second aunt come back so soon."
“…” Yu Guochao knew what Mrs. Yu had done, and he didn’t dare to say anything bad.
"My second aunt found me and scolded me." Yu Dasao said, "My second aunt wanted those things herself, but she didn't let me go to look for them."
"Then let's not look for it anymore." Yu Guochao said.
"It's impossible to find it now. Everyone knows what I did." Yu Dasao said, "Mom, go over and look for it. I'm sure you know where the old lady put it."
Yu Dasao felt that it was inappropriate to talk to Aunt Su directly, so she went to talk to Zhu Baoqian. Yu Dasao and Zhu Baoqian had a bad relationship, but this was a matter involving their interests. If Aunt Su could achieve something, their two families could also share a share.
Zhu Baoqian originally thought that Yu Dasao pulled her into a corner to say something, but she didn't expect that Yu Dasao was thinking about those things of Old Lady Su.
"Don't worry about it." Zhu Baoqian said, "I didn't see you giving anything to the old lady, but you were thinking of taking things from her. Do you think your uncle and aunt are stupid? Didn't the old lady make any preparations in advance?"
Zhu Baoqian rolled her eyes. She and Yu Jiachao did want to get more things, but they didn't know that they couldn't touch them, and couldn't tell Aunt Su directly. If Aunt Su could get something, it was Aunt Su's ability. If Aunt Su couldn't get anything, it was Aunt Su's inability.
"Don't say that. It makes people laugh at you," said Zhu Baoqian.
"You really don't think about those things?" asked Mrs. Yu.
"No." Zhu Baoqian said. Even if she had it in her heart, she had to say no. It was impossible to say yes.
At the Su family, Second Aunt Su told Mother Su about Mrs. Yu's behavior. After thinking about it, she decided to speak out about it to avoid any problems.
"Mom's gold jewelry is here with me. Mom said she left it to me." Su's mother said directly, "Those gold jewelry were bought by Xueqing."
"Of course, of course." Aunt Su said, "We didn't buy these for Mom, so these things should be yours."
"As for the money, Mom is still alive." said Su's mother.
Su's mother didn't think about asking Old Lady Su how much money she had now. When Old Lady Su was gone, it would be too late to talk about money. If there was really some money, Su's mother planned to buy some things for Aunt Su and the others, which would be considered a share.
"I don't have any extra money," said Su's mother.
I have to say this in advance. Don't think that Old Lady Su has a lot of money. She may have a few dozen or a hundred yuan, but she probably doesn't have more than that.
The money that the younger generations gave to Old Madam Su as a filial gift, the money earned from odd jobs in the early years... the younger generations of the Su family did not deduct anything from Old Madam Su, and all the money they earned from odd jobs was shared with the old lady.
"I didn't think about sharing the money." Aunt Su said, "This money should also belong to you. When mom was sick, you were the ones who took care of her. I'm not saying that my younger sister lives in the same city as you, but she has to take a bus to come here, which is still a bit far, and she can't come to take care of mom every day. You paid the money, and you are the ones who take care of her. We shouldn't touch the little money that mom has left."
"Second sister." Mother Su sighed, "Don't say that in front of mom."
Su's mother was afraid that Old Lady Su would be sad. Old Lady Su was still alive, and it was inappropriate for the younger generation to think about Old Lady Su's money. Su's mother wanted Old Lady Su to leave behind any amount of money, whether it was enough or not.
"Mom already knows." Aunt Su Er said, "Mom knows everything in her room, and I also know what kind of people those people in my younger sister's family are. I'm telling you this so that you don't have any idea how things got lost. If my younger sister comes, please keep an eye on it."
Second Aunt Su didn't trust the Yu family, but she couldn't tell Little Aunt Su not to come, because Little Aunt Su was Old Lady Su's biological daughter. Big Aunt Su was Old Lady Su's stepdaughter, so she didn't come.
Aunt Su didn't have a good relationship with the rest of the Su family. Father Su, Mother Su and others didn't call Aunt Su when they had weddings, but Aunt Su's side would still call Aunt Su. The Yu family had a better relationship with Aunt Su, and the younger generations still kept in touch with each other.
"It's the same if you watch too much." Mother Su said, "It's just like guarding against thieves. I'm afraid my little sister will be unhappy."
"She deserves it!" Aunt Su said, "She wants to take advantage of everything, without even thinking about whether she can take advantage of it."
"..." Mother Su smiled and didn't say much.
Aunt Su is Aunt Su's biological sister, so it's fine if Aunt Su says a few more words. If Mother Su says too much, Aunt Su might be unhappy. Mother Su doesn't want to have conflicts with these people at this time. People's hearts are different, and what they say may not be the same as what they think in their hearts.
Early in the morning, Aunt Su came to the Su family again. When she came, Su Yanan was there.
"Yanan." Aunt Su said, "You're here."
"I'm here." Su Yanan said, "I came to see grandma and see if there's anything I can help. My little sister paid so much money, and I didn't pay, so I have to do my part."
Amelia Su didn't want to contribute money or effort. She knew that she couldn't get anything, so she just took care of Old Lady Su. Instead of taking care of Old Lady Su, she might as well take care of herself.
Wei Shanshan lives in the school, and she came to see Old Madam Su. The Su family asked Wei Shanshan not to come for the time being, and that Su's mother and others would take care of Old Madam Su.
"Aunt, are you making soup for grandma?" Su Yanan saw Aunt Su's food box.
"I stewed some spicy soup." Aunt Su said, "Your grandma wanted to eat something savory, so I made it savory and added some meat."
Aunt Su didn't want others to think she was insincere, so she had to say that this was made with meat. Su Yanan understood what Aunt Su meant as soon as she heard it. She didn't say that her aunt didn't do a good job. Whether her aunt did a good job or not was not up to Su Yanan.
When Aunt Su entered the living room, she found buns on the table. These buns were sent by Amelia Su, saying that they were for Old Lady Su. She didn't have time to make soup, so she let Old Lady Su eat two meat buns. Amelia Su also sent red bean porridge to Old Lady Su, so that Old Lady Su could eat meat buns with red bean porridge in the morning, at least she could eat more.
As for the food, Su Xueqing and her husband had asked the chef to cook and send it over these days, and every time they asked someone to ask Mrs. Su what she wanted to eat. The chef in Su Xueqing's family was good at cooking, and if it didn't work, they could go out and buy food. Mrs. Su did mention some food, and her little granddaughter was so filial that she couldn't refuse her.
Therefore, Mrs. Su was not short of food. If she was short of something, it was emotional. She was not short of people like Su Xueqing, but of people like Little Aunt Su. Mrs. Su was too lazy to talk to Little Aunt Su. She didn't think Little Aunt Su would get things done.
It is impossible for Aunt Su to get things done. She will only listen to the Yu family. She will live with the Yu family in the future, not with the Su family.
"Mom, eat something." Aunt Su saw Old Lady Su sitting in the living room, "Have you eaten? Do you want to get some sun?"
"Sit down for a while." said Mrs. Su.
"Okay, then you sit for a while." Aunt Su said, "I'll sit with you."
Second Aunt Su came out of Old Lady Su's room and saw Little Aunt Su. She went to wash Old Lady Su's clothes and hung them out to dry. They didn't know when Old Lady Su would leave, but they couldn't leave the clothes unwashed and piled over there.
"Second sister, are you going to wash clothes?" asked Aunt Su.
"Do you want to wash?" Aunt Su Er said, "If you want to wash, then go ahead and wash."
“……”After hearing this, Aunt Su had no choice but to get up and wash clothes.
Aunt Su's personality is like this. She can't refuse others when they ask her to do something. It's nothing for Aunt Su to wash clothes for her mother as a daughter.
Old Mrs. Su did not say that Aunt Su was wrong, she just shook her head gently.
"Your little sister...if I'm not around in the future, you can take care of her if you can, but if you can't, forget it." Old Mrs. Su said.
"Are you worried that your younger sister will have a hard time in the future?" Aunt Su said.
"She can still cook and do some housework now." Mrs. Su said, "In the future, that may not be the case."
Old Madam Su sighed. Aunt Su was so soft and weak that she couldn't stand up. The Yu family was good at hiding things. They didn't take Aunt Su seriously at all. No matter big or small, they didn't think about whether Aunt Su lived a good life. They only thought about themselves and the benefits they got.
"My younger brother is here. They are all here in South City." Aunt Su said, "My younger sister will always have something to eat. She won't starve to death."
"That's right." Old Madam Su nodded, "I just want to cause trouble for your brother."
"We are all brothers and sisters." Aunt Su Er said, "We will always help each other."
As long as Aunt Su is not blind and doesn't say bad things about Su's father and mother, Su's father will always help Aunt Su. The Su family is here, and Yu Jiachao and his wife have to support Aunt Su. Yu Jiachao and his wife are very smart. They know that if they treat Aunt Su too badly, the Su family will be unhappy.
At present, the Su family is developing better than the Yu family, so the Yu family naturally has more concerns. If the Yu family develops well and has money, they will not give Aunt Su a meal, but Aunt Su may have to endure some cold stares.
Second Aunt Su didn't like to talk about Little Aunt Su. She had told Little Aunt Su before that Little Aunt Su only thought about the Yu family, and it was useless for others to say anything. The Su family asked Little Aunt Su to save more money, but Little Uncle Su secretly saved money. Little Aunt Su didn't save money secretly, and she didn't know that Little Uncle Su had hidden so much private money.
After that incident, Aunt Su still trusted Uncle Su very much. She felt that Uncle Su would arrange everything properly.
"Help me..." Old Mrs. Su sighed.
"Mom, don't sigh. You really don't have to worry about these things." Aunt Su Er said, "Do you want to eat something else? Can I give it to you?"
"Eat cake. Xueqing sent someone to bring the cake." Old Madam Su said, "It's soft, sweet and delicious."
Some cakes tasted rough and astringent, but the cakes that Su Xueqing had sent over were softer, and the flour and other ingredients used were carefully selected. Su Xueqing thought that if the old lady could eat a little, eat more, she could still hold on for a while.
Of course, if the doctor said not to eat, the Su family might not let Mrs. Su eat those things. It depends on Mrs. Su's own ideas. Some people can last longer if they eat less. But some people, at this point, just want to eat more good things.
"If you like it, eat a few more bites." Aunt Su said.
Su Xueqing did not go to the Su family. Old Madam Su told her and Xiao Junjun not to go there too often, and also not to let Ning Yanjing go there too often. Su Xueqing listened to Old Madam Su and only asked people to send food over.
After dinner in the evening, Su Yanan came to Su Xueqing.
"Grandma's is still edible." Su Yanan said, "Second aunt asked me to tell you that grandma likes to eat cakes, sweet and soft cakes. The cakes bought outside are not as delicious as the ones you sent over."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "Continue to send it tomorrow morning."
"My aunt came over again today." Su Yanan looked around, "I heard that Yu Guochao's wife was rummaging through grandma's room and was caught by my second aunt."
"Looking for something?" Su Xueqing wondered.
"Yes, they probably thought that grandma was going to die, so they wanted to find her money." Su Yanan said, "and then secretly bring it back home. How much money can grandma have? The money in grandma's hands basically came from my parents and you, because you are so filial. The Yu family didn't provide for grandma's retirement, but they wanted to take money from her. It's disgusting."
"Did they find anything?" Su Xueqing asked.
"No." Su Yanan said, "If Second Aunt hadn't discovered it earlier, she might have found it. When we need them, they don't show up, and when we don't need them, they come again. They are a bunch of heartless people who only think about what grandma has in her hands."
Su Yanan gritted her teeth. These people were really going too far.
"Don't pay attention to them." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma knows what's going on."
"Grandma knows the truth. She has given all her gold jewelry to mom." Su Yanan said, "Grandma still has some money. Those people are after it."
"As long as grandma is happy, it's more important than anything else." Su Xueqing said, "I'm afraid these people's actions will make grandma sad."
"Won't grandma be sad?" Su Yanan sighed, "We have no choice. If we don't let them come, what if grandma wants to see them? If we let them come, they will hurt grandma like this."
"It won't be long." Su Xueqing said.
"Yes." Su Yanan said, "Not long. Dad has taken a leave of absence these days to stay at home to look after grandma."
They didn't know when Old Mrs. Su would die, so it would be good to keep an eye on her for a few days.
When Su Yanan went back, Su Xueqing asked Su Yanan to bring back some food, saying that Su Yanan had worked hard. Su Yanan said that she had no hardship, she had no job, she was taking care of the children at home, and it was convenient for her to go to Old Lady Su's place.
In the evening, Su Xueqing told Ning Yanjing that the Yu family was coveting Old Madam Su's money. She was not surprised or shocked at all.
"They really do..." Su Xueqing said, "They want everything."
"Just leave it to grandma." Ning Yanjing said.
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "Those are grandma's things. A few days ago, when I went back, grandma wanted to give me some of the money, but I didn't want it. How could I take the money from grandma? I'm not short of money."
Su Xueqing asked Old Lady Su to take the money and ask someone to buy whatever she wanted to eat. Su Xueqing wanted to give Old Lady Su extra money, but Old Lady Su refused. She said she didn't need so much money and asked Su Xueqing to take it back herself.
So Su Xueqing did not give Old Lady Su any more money, but asked someone to prepare some food for Old Lady Su.
"When I was little, my grandparents were very kind to me." Su Xueqing said, "My brother was beaten, but I was not. Their attitude towards my second sister was not as good as mine."
Amelia Su went to the countryside early, and Su Xueqing had no impression of her elder sister when she was a child. She basically heard from her family that there was such a person as Amelia Su. Grandpa Su and Mrs. Su would buy snacks for Su Xueqing and take Su Xueqing out to play.
Grandpa Su passed away a few years ago, and now, Grandma Su’s health can’t hold on any longer.
"Grandma... " Su Xueqing's eyes were red, and she leaned in Ning Yanjing's arms.
"Everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies." Ning Yanjing said, "Grandma is already very old. This may be a relief for her. When people get old, they will suffer from all kinds of illnesses and physical discomfort."
"Yeah, I know." Su Xueqing nodded, "It's just... it's just... I can't bear to part with it."
"If you can't bear to leave, go visit grandma more often." Ning Yanjing said.
"Grandma doesn't want us to go there more often." Su Xueqing said, "I have to listen to grandma."
Su Xueqing didn't want to go, but Old Lady Su had already said that if Su Xueqing went there, Old Lady Su might not be happy. There were many people crowded at the Su family's place, including Second Aunt Su and Little Aunt Su.
"Second aunt has passed away. They should take turns to keep watch over grandma." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma will want to see her children more often."
"Don't worry." Ning Yanjing said, "Mom and Dad are taking care of grandma over there."
Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly and said, "Tomorrow, ask someone to make a roast chicken for grandma."
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded.
Aunt Su goes to the Su's house during the day and goes back to the Yu's house at night.
"What did mom tell you?" asked Su's uncle.
"Nothing." Aunt Su said. She thought for a moment and then said, "She's from the old family. She went too far. Mom was still here. She went to Mom's room to look for something and was caught by my second sister. I couldn't say much in front of my brother and sister-in-law. It was embarrassing."
"..." Uncle Su glanced at Aunt Su, who was just stupid, "Your brother and sister-in-law have always been with your mother. I guess your mother has already given everything to them."
"Mom wants to give the things to them, and I can't do anything about it." Aunt Su said.
"Our family is much worse off than your brother's family." Uncle Su reminded Aunt Su, "Guochao still hasn't paid back the money he owes your brother."
If Old Mrs. Su could give some of the money to Little Aunt Su, Little Aunt Su could use the money to pay off her debts.
"My brother didn't force Guochao to pay back the money immediately." Aunt Su said, "They have money for the old lady's funeral banquet, so there is no need for Guochao to pay it back at this time."
Uncle Su was speechless. After he said these words, his wife just couldn't understand what he meant. This was not a matter of whether to urge the debt to be repaid, but a matter of how much money Old Madam Su had in her hands.
Early in the morning, Aunt Su went to see Old Lady Su again.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her little daughter and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
"Mom," said Aunt Su, "please don't frown."
"Come here." Old Mrs. Su asked Aunt Su to sit next to her.
"Mom." When Aunt Su came in front of Old Lady Su, she couldn't help but wonder if her mother had something to give her. If her mother gave her too much money, it would be bad if her brother and sister-in-law knew about it. Should she refuse?
In fact, Mrs. Su did not think of giving money to Little Aunt Su, because she felt that Little Aunt Su could not save money at all. As soon as Little Aunt Su had some money, she would directly subsidize the Yu family. In this case, when Mrs. Su gave money to Little Aunt Su, it was equivalent to giving it to the Yu family, and Little Aunt Su herself did not spend the money.
"After mom is gone, you have to learn to take good care of yourself and save more money. Don't give all your money to your man, and don't give it to your son and grandson." Mrs. Su said, "You have to hide some of it."
"Mom..." Aunt Su looked at her mother, and she was a little nervous about whether her mother was going to give her money.
"I don't have any money to give you." Old Madam Su saw through Aunt Su's thoughts at a glance, "Even if I gave you the money, you wouldn't be able to keep it. You, remember this in the future. Your husband knows to hide money quietly, so you have to do the same."
"He has a job and can make money." Aunt Su said, "He..."
"No matter what he does, you have to save some money yourself." Old Mrs. Su said, "Listen to mom, mom won't cheat you. Mom is gone now, don't always come to your brother and ask him to help you. Your brother is a grandfather now, he has sons and grandsons, daughters and grandchildren, he needs to bear a lot of things, don't go to him for the Yu family's affairs. You Yu family owe him money, pay it back if you can, if you can't, your brother won't force you. Remember mom's words, if it's a small matter, you should solve it by yourselves, don't go to your brother."
"Mom." Aunt Su's eyes were red. How could her mother say such a thing? "You... I... I haven't asked my brother for help for a long time."
"I know." Mrs. Su was weak. "It's different when mom is here than when she's not."
Old Mrs. Su couldn't say anything bad about Su's mother, because Su's mother had done a good enough job. It was the Yu family who went too far. Aunt Su always came over for the Yu family, and Su's mother would definitely be unhappy.
"Mom." Aunt Su burst into tears. She knew that many things would be different if her biological mother was not around.
"The Yu family asked you to come here because they want money, right?" said Old Mrs. Su.
"No, they..."
"I'm telling you, I don't have a penny." Old Lady Su said, "Don't think about it if it's not yours. After I'm gone, your brothers and sisters gave you some things, but that was just a courtesy on their part."
Old Mrs. Su was afraid that if Aunt Su stayed with the Yu family for too long, she would become crooked. Some things cannot be forced.
Among her children, the one that Old Lady Su was most worried about was Little Aunt Su, who was being controlled by the Yu family. Although Uncle Su Er and others seldom came to South City, Little Aunt Su Er was still very capable and knew how to control some things. Little Aunt Su was much worse than Aunt Su Er, as she was being controlled by others.
Old Mrs. Su asked Su's father and mother to go to the room, and she had to take out the large amount of money hidden first. As for the money hidden in the cabinet, she didn't remember where all the money was hidden, and when she had it all, she would ask her son and daughter-in-law to search for it.
Old Mrs. Su gave the money to Su's father in front of Second Aunt Su and Little Aunt Su. "It's not much, just over 80 yuan."
Originally, she had more money. Old Mrs. Su had bought new clothes for herself and also bought food for herself. Su Xueqing often told her that at this age, she should eat more and wear better clothes, and not be reluctant to eat and wear. Old Mrs. Su spent a little more money, but the money she spent was still not much. Su Xueqing gave her new clothes and bought her delicious food.
"Don't blame mom for not leaving you any money," said Mrs. Su. "When your dad was sick, it was your brothers who paid for his expenses. When I was sick, he also paid for my expenses. Your dad left behind a small amount of money, not much, less than 20 yuan. Your dad's illness cost money, and his funeral also cost money. We are not a wealthy family, so we don't have that much money."
Old Mrs. Su knows some people who, even though they know their family is poor, still think that their parents left a lot of money and that their parents must have hidden a lot of money. Do they think that money at home will make money, and people don't need food or clothes?
"Give me a bath and change my clothes." Old Mrs. Su asked her two daughters to help her. She had already prepared the burial clothes, and she put them on directly.
When Su Xueqing and others learned about Mrs. Su, she was already dead. Father and mother Su cremated Mrs. Su according to Mrs. Su's instructions and planned to bury her with Mr. Su.
"No, she can't be buried with my dad!" Aunt Su jumped out, "My mom is the original wife!"
