Chapter 106 Are you confused? Is this how we celebrate?
When Wei Shanshan heard what Amelia Su said, she didn't speak and remained silent.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Amelia Su reached out and slapped Wei Shanshan's arm.
"I heard it." Wei Shanshan said.
"When adults talk to you, you have to respond." Amelia Su said, "When others talk to you, you don't say a word, what does it mean? If your aunt talks to you, will you keep silent?"
"This has nothing to do with my aunt." Wei Shanshan said.
Wei Shanshan returned home and slept on the bed in the living room. Her brother still disliked her very much. Wei Yaozu thought Wei Shanshan was in the way. Wei Yaozu once told Wei Shanshan to get out of the house, saying that this house did not belong to Wei Shanshan. Wei Yaozu chased Wei Shanshan with a knife and wanted her to get out.
After what happened, Amelia Su did not say anything to Wei Yaozu, but told Wei Shanshan not to run around. It must be that Wei Shanshan made Wei Yaozu unhappy, so Wei Yaozu did that. It can't be blamed on Wei Yaozu. Amelia Su was busy coaxing Wei Yaozu and didn't think about whether Wei Shanshan would be sad.
Obviously Wei Shanshan is also Su Yamei's biological daughter, but Su Yamei didn't consider Wei Shanshan much, and always considered Wei Yaozu first. Whenever Wei Yaozu had something wrong, Su Yamei would say Wei Shanshan, saying that Wei Shanshan didn't know how to protect her brother, and that Wei Shanshan didn't know how to give in to her brother...
Wei Shanshan did nothing. Whenever something happened to Wei Yaozu, it was Wei Shanshan who was wrong.
"Haha." Amelia Su sneered, "Just go to a technical school, you'd better study hard. Your grandma said that if you don't study well, you won't be allowed to enter the hospital."
"I will learn well." Wei Shanshan said. She had thought about it. If she went to a technical school, she would have to live on campus. After graduation, when she got a job, she could live in the company dormitory or find a house outside. She just didn't want to live under the same roof with her parents and Wei Yaozu.
Wei Shanshan didn't blame Amelia Su for not taking her over. Amelia Su always said that Amelia Su didn't care about Wei Shanshan that much, that there were so many empty rooms in Amelia Su's house, that Amelia Su hired servants, and why Amelia Su didn't let Wei Shanshan live there...
Amelia Su always remembered that Wei Shanshan had said good things about Amelia Su, so she wanted to say that in front of Wei Shanshan to change Wei Shanshan's attitude towards Amelia Su. Wei Shanshan did not hate Amelia Su, but hated her mother more and more. She was her biological mother, and she hated her biological mother but still had to call Amelia Su mom...
There is no such thing as a mother always saying that others are not good to her daughter. A mother should be good to her own daughter instead of expecting others to be good to her own daughter.
“Don’t just talk.” Amelia Su said, “If you don’t learn well, be careful that your aunt will ask you to be a vegetable washer in the future!”
"..." Wei Shanshan really wanted to roll her eyes. Her mother had just returned to the city and had nothing to do, so people introduced her mother to be a vegetable washer. Wei Shanshan was not a person who knew nothing. She already knew how difficult it was to find a job at that time. Not to mention being a vegetable washer, even sweeping the streets, there were many people vying to do it.
Wei Shanshan was sometimes very scared. She was afraid that she would become like her mother, and become hateful. She resented others for helping her so much. Wei Shanshan often told herself not to be ungrateful, because her aunt had been good enough to her.
"Your aunt's daughter is really living a good life." Amelia Su said, "The tuition fees she paid last semester were extremely high. You can't even imagine it."
"..." Wei Shanshan's mouth twitched slightly. Here it comes again. Here it comes again. She is not her aunt's biological daughter. It is normal for her aunt to be kind to her biological daughter.
"As for you, study hard and become a nurse." Amelia Su said, "If possible, find a good partner in the future, and you won't have to work so hard. Your aunt obviously doesn't have to work, but she still works. Look how capable she is."
"It's good to have a job." Wei Shanshan said.
“She has so much money, and she still works. Can she spend so much money?” Amelia Su said.
"This is not about money." Wei Shanshan said, "This is..."
"What do you know as a little kid? Isn't work tiring?" Amelia Su said, "When you start working in the future, you will know how hard it is. It's so nice to be able to lie down and play at home. Why work?"
Wei Shanshan didn't say anything. Her mother's thoughts were not very good, and she couldn't be influenced by her mother's thinking.
"You don't have a job now, and I have to give you living expenses and pay your tuition. You think it's easy." Amelia Su said, "You don't know how hard it is to make money. Your father and I get up very early, sometimes at one or two o'clock, and work hard to make steamed buns. Do you understand how difficult it is? You should really be asked to work in a breakfast shop for a few days, then you will know how hard it is. I said I would let you sit down, but your grandma said you have to study, and you are still a student..."
Wei Shanshan suspected that if it weren't for her grandma and her friends, she would have already followed her mother to work in the breakfast shop, and her mother would probably not pay her. Wei Shanshan let Su Yamei say that she would just have to be patient for a while, and when she went to a technical school, she heard that students in technical schools could live in the school instead of at home during the winter and summer vacations. Wei Shanshan thought that she would have to live in the school, and she would go to work to earn some money during the holidays.
As for her biological mother, Wei Shanshan thought that if she didn't come to live with her and went to work to earn some money, her mother would be very happy. Her mother would then have a reason to give her less living expenses and would not have to give her so much.
As for what major Wei Shanshan would study after the high school entrance exam, neither Su Xueqing nor Su Yanan cared.
Su Yanan's two sons failed the high school entrance exam, one of them became an apprentice and the other went to a technical school. When Su Yanan came to Su Xueqing, she had a headache when she talked about her children.
"Caixia's grades aren't much better." Su Yanan rubbed her eyebrows, "Their father and I hired tutors for them, but it couldn't save their grades."
"That's okay." Su Xueqing said, "There's always a way out."
"Even though I say that, I still worry about them." Su Yanan said, "It's different now. There are more students studying in technical schools. Some schools allow students to study as long as they pay. Caixia has a bad temper. She can't study to be a kindergarten teacher. She can't take care of children. She can't study nursing either. Caixia is only one grade lower than Shanshan. Time flies so fast."
"See what she wants to do." Su Xueqing said, "You have planned so many things for her, but she may not like them."
"Alas, she is still so young, how could she know what major she likes." Su Yanan said, "A few days ago, I told my eldest sister about Wei Shanshan's future after the high school entrance examination. My eldest sister said that my mother said that Shanshan should go to a technical school to study nursing. My eldest sister said that she would listen to my mother and she didn't care about that. She only paid for living expenses and tuition to avoid being scolded by my mother. She really didn't dare to say anything, and she wasn't afraid that Shanshan would hear it. Shanshan is so old now, and she doesn't know everything. My eldest sister is like this, and she is not afraid that Shanshan will not be filial to her in the future."
"Eldest sister is Shanshan's biological mother." Su Xueqing said, "Eldest sister would say this."
"You really understand my elder sister. That's all she said to Shanshan." Su Yanan said, "The child's poor academic performance is really a headache. I also said to your brother-in-law, why can't he be smarter, why is he so stupid. Your brother-in-law said to me, saying that I don't have a high degree myself, he and I are the same, so let's not criticize each other."
“This…” Su Xueqing was silent.
"He's right. Neither of us is smart, so how can we expect our child to be smart?" Su Yanan said, "Boys are fine. They can do a lot of things. They can learn skills and become barbers or workers. Girls... Sigh, I'm worried that Caixia won't be able to find a good job in the future."
"Don't worry." Su Xueqing said.
"Recently, many people have lost their jobs." Su Yanan said, "In the Tian family, a relative lost his job, and both the husband and wife lost their jobs. If the family has savings, it's fine, but if there is no savings, the expenses are still very high. Day by day, the money flows out like water. Others asked Guohua if there is any solution, but what can Guohua do? By the way, do you know the Lin family in the Grain Bureau?"
"Huh?" Su Xueqing was puzzled.
"That's the one... the one someone wants to introduce to you." Su Yanan said, "Lin Jincai from the Food Bureau's Lin family."
"I don't remember." Su Xueqing really didn't remember. She didn't really go on a blind date with Lin Jincai, and they didn't meet alone. Maybe they met on the road. How could Su Xueqing remember someone who had nothing to do with her, and it happened many years ago. Su Xueqing didn't remember Lin Jincai, but she knew that someone said that someone in the Lin family was a leader at that time.
"He lost his job." Su Yanan said, "Who would have thought that he would lose his job."
"Didn't his father transfer him to another unit?" Su Xueqing asked, "Isn't his father a leader?"
"The leader is right, a small leader, not a big leader." Su Yanan said, "Others are watching them, we can't let them take all the benefits. Lin Jincai's wife is still a teacher in the school affiliated with the unit. That school has now been split off and is no longer affiliated with the Grain Bureau. But Lin Jincai's wife got in because of the Lin family. The Lin family is not a poor family, but other families are more difficult."
"Whether it's difficult or not, isn't it up to them to decide?" Su Xueqing said.
"His father can't even protect himself, how can he be protected?" Su Yanan said, "It's enough. If they want too many things, it will be ugly. There are a few people among them who have clean hands, especially those in the food convoy. They should take advantage of the convoy to do private work when it is out on a mission."
Lin Jincai took the initiative and did not think about competing for the quota in the new unit, which saved everyone's face. If Lin Jincai had to compete, some things would be easily exposed.
"It doesn't matter if he loses his job. The family already has enough money." Su Yanan said, "He can just do something else."
"Indeed." Su Xueqing nodded.
"Their family situation is considered good." Su Yanan said, "Lin Jincai's wife has a stable job and can keep working without worrying about unemployment. In recent years, many people have been laid off and are worried that it will be their turn. Everyone thought they could work in the factory for a lifetime, but who knew that before they had even lived a lifetime, or even half of their lives, they would be gone."
"They can find other jobs." Su Xueqing said, "They are in Nancheng, so it's okay. There are many job opportunities in Nancheng. As long as they look for them, they can always find a job. It's just that private enterprises are different from state-owned enterprises. You can't bring the same practices in state-owned factories to private factories. Private enterprises need to make money. If they don't make money, how can they pay their employees' wages?"
"Yeah." Su Yanan said, "I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that your brother-in-law will lose his job one day. Dad retired partially at first, and then he fully retired when the time came."
Su's father has retired a long time ago and has a pension. He works as a technical consultant in a private factory. When the factory encounters a problem, he is asked to come over. He can also get a sum of money for solving the problem. When there is nothing to do, Su's father stays at home.
Brother Su San is still working in that state-owned factory. The factory has managed to survive and has not collapsed. Its recent performance is still good. However, the performance of the food factory where Sister Su San works is fluctuating. Sister Su San just wants the food factory to last longer.
"Don't worry, my brother-in-law doesn't have a job, but you still have some savings, right?" Su Xueqing said.
"Yes, I still have some savings." Su Yanan said, "So I thought about opening a grocery store. I have already given birth to three children, and they don't need me to take care of them too much. If I open a grocery store, if your brother-in-law really loses his job, I still have a grocery store to fall back on."
"Then open it." Su Xueqing said, "Are you short of money?"
"It's not that we're short of money," Su Yanan said, "but I'm not sure about it. I'm worried that I can't do it well. I don't have the cooking skills of my elder sister and brother-in-law, so I can't open a breakfast shop. We will only lose money if we open a breakfast shop, and I'm afraid we will lose money if we open a grocery store. We have a small shop downstairs, so it's not impossible to open another one, and sell cigarettes and alcohol..."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Su Xueqing said.
"That's right." Su Yanan said, "No matter what, you still have to leave yourself a way out."
Su Yanan is a very decisive person. She was decisive enough to marry Tian Guohua, and now she can open this grocery store. Su Yanan is good at arithmetic, and if she really loses money, it's still good. If she doesn't try, when Tian Guohua really loses his job, what will the whole family do?
Although Su Yanan's two sons can go to work later, both sons have to get married. Su Yanan and his wife have to prepare dowry for their sons. If they don't have jobs, they will be living on their savings. Where can they find money? They can't borrow money from relatives. They have to pay back the money they borrow.
Su Yanan didn't want to be a person with no way out, so she decided to do it as soon as possible. While there were not many grocery stores downstairs, she opened a grocery store at home. If there were too many people opening grocery stores, it would be difficult to sell.
"I've considered selling vegetables, but the vegetable market is not far from us." Su Yanan said, "The vegetables in the vegetable market are cheap and fresh, and they prefer to buy vegetables at the vegetable market. They can walk a few more steps without spending more money. Those with elderly people at home like to walk more."
Young people may think of something closer, but how many young people buy vegetables downstairs?
Su Yanan still felt that buying vegetables was not cost-effective, but selling some other things was okay.
"Your brother-in-law and I have money, so we can buy a store." Su Yanan said, "We pay rent every month, which is also a sum of money. If we buy it, the landlord will not be able to raise the rent."
Su Yanan thought that the price of goods had increased a lot recently. Who knew that the price of houses would not increase in the future? If it did not increase in the short term, what about the long term? If she bought a shop early, even if she did not open a grocery store, she could rent it out later.
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded, "You have money in your hands, so you can indeed consider buying the store. Apart from you, isn't my eldest sister also thinking about it?"
"The landlord of my breakfast shop has raised the rent several times." Su Yanan said, "The landlord is jealous of my big sister's high income. It doesn't matter who I know, he just wants to increase the rent."
"What do you think, elder sister?" Su Xueqing asked.
"My eldest sister is planning to buy another store next door," Su Yanan said. "She has saved some money over the years. If she buys a store, she won't have to worry about the landlord raising the rent. I told her that it would be better to buy the store. But she was angry when she saw the landlord raising the rent. She finally made a little extra money, but she still had to give it to the landlord."
"Buy it." Su Xueqing said, "Eldest sister is so good at saving money, she must have saved a lot of money."
Amelia Su at most spent more money on Wei Yaozu, and she spent relatively less money on Wei Shanshan. Wei Shanshan didn't spend money lavishly, she was very frugal at school and spent as little as possible.
"Sister has found a store." Su Yanan said, "I guess there will be news soon. Anyway, we will still open a store there, just move it to a place not far away, so old customers can still find it."
"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded, "As long as you can find it."
"You don't have to worry about the money to buy the store." Su Yanan said, "If my eldest sister doesn't have enough money, she will ask my parents for a loan. If I don't have enough money, there is my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law has a lot of money, and when we really need help, my mother-in-law will give us money."
"That's good. If you have anything, tell me." Su Xueqing said, "I still have some money saved."
"I know." Su Yanan nodded.
After returning home, Su Yanan told her husband about buying a shop and opening a grocery store.
"With so many people unemployed now, we should also make plans for the future." Su Yanan said, "The two sons are growing up very fast, and they will soon be old enough to get married. If you lose your job by then, it will be difficult to deal with. There is a grocery store, and there is an income."
"Is that enough money?" Tian Guohua asked.
"Ask your mom for some money." Su Yanan said, "Talk to your mom. The children are grown up now, and I don't have to take care of them all the time. I can take care of the grocery store and at least make some money, don't you think?"
"Unemployment... it's hard to say." Tian Guohua said, "Recently, many people have lost their jobs. Although it hasn't been our turn yet, no one knows when it will be our turn. Even the Grain Bureau has laid off people, not to mention other places. In the past, we all thought that the Grain Bureau was very stable, much more stable than my job. Who would have thought that people at the Grain Bureau were laid off earlier than me, and they are all looking for other ways out. All of a sudden, so many people were laid off, and they all had to find other jobs. How could they all find jobs?"
"That's why I said I'd open a grocery store." Su Yanan said, "You continue to work at the company and help with the purchasing when you're free."
"Well, I'll go tell Mom." Tian Guohua said, "This is a good thing, Mom will agree."
Just as Tian Guohua had thought, when Tian's mother heard about buying a shop to open a grocery store and listened to Tian Guohua's future plans, she naturally agreed.
Tian's mother knew that Su Yanan was not stupid. She was a person who was good at making plans. When so many people went to the countryside, Su Yanan should have found a partner early on and did not have to go to the countryside so early.
"Then buy them." Tian's mother said, "Buy two shops, not just one. You can use one shop as a grocery store and rent out the other shop. You have two sons, so it will be easier to divide the family property in the future. One shop for each child."
As for Tian Caixia, she was going to get married, and Tian's mother did not consider buying a shop for Tian Caixia. Tian's mother had a lot of money on hand. After the reform and opening up, Tian's mother did some small business. She did not tell her children how much money she made. She did not give all the money directly to her children, but saved it for herself.
Tian Guohua was given money, and Tian's mother had two other sons, so she had to give some money to the other two sons. The money that Tian's mother gave to Tian Guohua was almost enough to buy a store, and the rest of the money was paid by Tian Guohua and his wife themselves.
Tian's mother tried to treat her sons equally so that their other sons would not be dissatisfied.
Su Yanan learned about her mother-in-law's actions and thought that her mother-in-law was really rich. A widow raised several children and knew how to save money. Su Yanan thought that after her mother-in-law took out so much money, she must still have money.
Tian's mother does have some money, but she can't afford to take it all out. She still needs to save some for her retirement.
When Amelia Su bought the shop and was about to move out, the landlord was stunned. The landlord thought Amelia Su had to continue renting his shop, and the rent increase was the landlord's son's idea. The landlord's son instigated his parents to raise the rent several times. When Amelia Su rented the shop, the shop was still empty for several months. They didn't think about this, they only thought about Amelia Su making a lot of money.
Amelia Su and her husband have rented a shop for almost nine years. The landlord said that the rent should be raised. Amelia Su couldn't stand it. She still had to have her own shop. This time, the landlord wanted to raise the rent again. Amelia Su said that it was useless. The landlord wanted to raise the rent. Amelia Su originally thought about buying this shop, but now she doesn't want to think about it anymore. Instead, she wants to buy another shop. If Amelia Su buys this shop, the landlord will definitely say that this shop is very good and ask Amelia Su to pay more.
After tidying up the shop over there, Amelia Su moved her things over. It was less than a month before the lease expired, and the landlord's son wanted to deduct the deposit, but the landlord didn't. If he really did, would they still be able to live on this street? They gave the deposit to Amelia Su, and they rented out the house elsewhere.
The landlord's son also thought that they could make money by opening their own breakfast shop, so he encouraged his parents to open a breakfast shop. If his parents didn't open a breakfast shop, they could let other people open one.
Amelia Su didn’t care what the landlord wanted to do with the shop, but she couldn’t rent the shop anyway.
When Amelia Su's breakfast shop opened, Amelia Su and others also sent flower baskets. Changing a shop also requires a sense of ceremony. In June, Amelia Su's grocery store also opened.
In ten days, it will be Wei Shanshan's high school entrance examination.
Su Xueqing took note of it. She had no choice but to take note of it. When Su Xueqing went to Su's house, she heard Su's mother nagging about it several times.
Tian Caixia and the others are related to the Tian family, and as for Wei Shanshan, Amelia Su doesn't care much about her. As the high school entrance examination is approaching, Wei Shanshan has diarrhea and is not feeling well.
When Wei Shanshan comes out of the hospital, Amelia Su will take her home to live with her. When Wei Shanshan finishes the high school entrance exam, Wei Shanshan will go back to Amelia Su. Forget about expecting Amelia Su to take Wei Shanshan home and let Amelia Su take good care of her until the high school entrance exam.
Wei Shanshan hadn’t originally thought about going to Su Xueqing’s house. She thought her body was really not doing well and why did she have diarrhea?
"After the high school entrance exam, you will live here." Su Xueqing said, "Don't think about those things, just take the exam."
"Thank you, auntie." Wei Shanshan said, "I'm going to a technical school."
"You need to get good grades to go to a technical school." Su Xueqing said, "Do you think you can get into those good vocational schools if you want? Study hard and don't worry about those things."
"Yeah." Wei Shanshan nodded vigorously.
When Xiao Wenjun learned that Wei Shanshan was not feeling well, she told her to have a good rest. Xiao Wenjun did not stop Wei Shanshan from staying at home, nor did she say that Wei Shanshan was not good. When Wei Shanshan lived at home, she had little contact with Xiao Wenjun, and basically only saw her at mealtimes. Wei Shanshan had to study hard and had no time to play with Xiao Wenjun.
At night, Su Xueqing was lying on the bed, and she talked to Ning Yanjing about Wei Shanshan's future.
"My grades are not good, I don't have any talent in certain areas, and my family doesn't have particularly good conditions." Su Xueqing said, "It's really good to study nursing. It has a stable job and the benefits are not bad."
As long as Wei Shanshan studies better, Su Xueqing won't have to go out, and Su's mother will use her connections to get Wei Shanshan in a better hospital.
"Don't worry." Ning Yanjing said, "She still has her parents."
"I'm not worried about her. I'm thinking about our little Junjun." Su Xueqing said.
"Xiao Junjun, you don't have to worry about her. I think her grades are pretty good." Ning Yanjing said, "If she wants to go to college in China, then she can go there. If she wants to go abroad, then she can go abroad. She can do what Jiaxuan did, go to college in China, and then go abroad for two years to study for a master's degree and see the outside world."
"My family is rich, so I have more choices." Su Xueqing said.
If your family is strong enough, you can be directly selected for internal training, and even if your college entrance examination scores are very low, you can still go to a very good university.
The Ning family can't let their children use this backdoor, it's unfair to other children. If the child's grades are not good, just send the child to study abroad, there is no need to stick to the country. There is no wall that is impenetrable. When the matter is discovered, it will be difficult to deal with. It is better not to toss those things in the first place.
"Do you think it's a good idea to marry me?" Ning Yanjing raised his eyebrows.
"Not bad, not bad." Su Xueqing chuckled.
When Wei Shanshan was taking the high school entrance exam, Su Xueqing took one day off, and the other two days were on the weekend, so she didn't need to take another day off. Su Xueqing let Wei Shanshan live at home, so naturally she had to help Wei Shanshan a little more.
The chef at home was careful when cooking and didn't make dishes that were too greasy so as to prevent Wei Shanshan from getting an upset stomach.
Amelia Su didn’t care at all whether Wei Shanshan had passed the high school entrance examination or not, she continued to run the store.
"Shanshan has the high school entrance exam today, did you know?" Su's mother came to the store to find Amelia Su.
Amelia Su doesn't need to send Wei Yaozu to the Su family now. She may not go to the Su family for several days. Mother Su suddenly remembered last night that she was wondering if Amelia Su knew that Wei Shanshan was going to take the high school entrance examination.
Su's mother came to the shop and saw Amelia Su busy there. Amelia Su had not gone to Wei Shanshan's school yet, and as a mother, she didn't even know how to accompany her daughter.
"The high school entrance exam is the high school entrance exam, she is with her aunt." Amelia Su said, "Mom, you know that Shanshan doesn't like me, she likes her aunt. If I'm in front of her, she might not be happy. It's better to let her aunt take care of those things, and I'll wait for her to take the high school entrance exam, isn't it?"
Amelia Su doesn't worry about Wei Shanshan's high school entrance exam. If Wei Shanshan can pass it, then she can pass it. If she can't pass it, then forget it. Technical schools don't require very high scores, and you can get in by spending a little more money.
“She’d better do better in the exam.” Amelia Su said, “Don’t waste so much money.”
“You…” Mother Su didn’t know what to say to Amelia Su, “Shanshan had diarrhea before, and you didn’t know how to care about her.”
"She goes to her aunt's place. How can her aunt not take good care of her?" Amelia Su said, "I'm not a doctor. I can't help her if I go there."
Su Yamei has this attitude towards Wei Shanshan. She feels that Wei Shanshan is not close to her, and it is useless for her to help Wei Shanshan. Wei Shanshan will get married sooner or later. A daughter who is married is like water spilled out. Wei Shanshan will not be filial to them in the future. Su Yamei thinks that instead of spending more money on Wei Shanshan, it is better to spend more money on Wei Yaozu, who is a boy, a boy who will carry on the family line.
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about Shan Shan.” Amelia Su said.
“…” Mother Su looked at Amelia Su with complicated eyes.
"Mom, have a bun." Amelia Su handed Su's mother a meat bun, "Eat it, there's also soy milk, drink some."
"I didn't come here for food." said Su's mother.
"I didn't say you came here for food." Amelia Su said, "You make your own breakfast now, and you don't come here to buy buns."
Mrs. Su is gone, Wei Yaozu is with Amelia Su, and the son of Su Sange is a little older, so Mother Su simply makes more breakfasts at home and saves some money. Mother Su didn't think that she had to pay if she always patronized Amelia Su's business.
"Where can you get so much money to buy it every day?" Su's mother said, "Your father has retired."
After Su's father retired, he didn't make as much money as before. Even though he had a pension and some money from his private factory, he still had to save it. Su's mother was reluctant to spend money casually. If she had money, she could buy more gold or a house.
Su Xueqing often told her mother that if she had money, she should invest it and not believe that others would lead them to make a lot of money. Just buy a house or gold, that's enough. Ordinary people like them don't know so much and are easily fooled.
“Dad still has a pension, doesn’t he?” Amelia Su said.
"Are you really not going to see Shanshan?" Su's mother asked.
“I won’t go to see it.” Amelia Su said, “Her aunt will take care of everything. I really don’t need to worry about it.”
"If you don't want to go, let your man go and take a look." said Su's mother.
"He...where can he go?" Amelia Su said, "He doesn't understand those things, and his mouth can't speak. What if he says something he shouldn't say and makes Shanshan unhappy? Let him stay in the store and at home. Yaozu also needs someone to take care of him."
Su's mother was helpless with Amelia Su, and Amelia Su refused to listen.
After Su’s mother left, Wei Dashan walked to Amelia Su’s side and said, “I’ll go over and take a look.”
"No need to go. I told you not to go. You just don't have to go." Amelia Su said, "What can you say when you see Shanshan?"
"I..." Wei Dashan didn't know what he could say to Shanshan.
"Or do you want to give Shanshan a few cents or dollars?" Amelia Su said, "Shanshan lives with my younger sister. She has plenty of food and someone to pick her up. It's very convenient."
Su Xueqing wore a cheongsam to the entrance of the middle school. For some people, the middle school entrance examination is much more important than the college entrance examination. In this province, the middle school entrance examination is divided into nearly 45% of the students, and the remaining people go to high school. To go to high school and take the college entrance examination, they still have to go through very fierce competition. Su Xueqing has a good figure, and she is wearing a bright red cheongsam. When others see her, they can't help but take a few more glances.
"You...you look very young. Is your stepson or stepdaughter going to take an exam?" someone asked Su Xueqing.
Some people didn't know Su Xueqing, so they asked.
"It's my niece taking the high school entrance exam." Su Xueqing didn't expect others to say that.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The person who spoke said quickly, and then asked, "Are you dating? Are you married?"
"I'm married and my child is in elementary school." Su Xueqing said.
"It doesn't look like it. You are very young." said the person next to him.
"I'm already thirty." Su Xueqing said.
"I really can't tell." The people next to her looked at Su Xueqing twice more, "If you say you are eighteen years old, people will believe it."
"It's not that exaggerated." Su Xueqing said.
Wei Shanshan originally thought that when she came out she would only see the driver, but she didn't expect to see Su Xueqing wearing a cheongsam.
"Aunt." Wei Shanshan's eyes lit up.
"I said I would pick you up, and I will pick you up." Su Xueqing said.
"Hmm." Wei Shanshan sniffed.
"Let's go, get in the car, go back to eat and rest, we have an exam in the afternoon." Su Xueqing said.
Amelia Su took Wei Shanshan back, but neither Amelia Su nor Wei Dashan came.
It was not until the evening of the day when Wei Shanshan finished the high school entrance examination that Amelia Su and her husband came. Amelia Su thought about it and felt that she had to come over to avoid Wei Shanshan saying that she didn't care about her at all.
"Sister." Amelia Su changed into a cheongsam. She also bought a few sunflowers and gave the flowers to Amelia Su.
“What are you doing with this?” Amelia Su asked.
"It has a good meaning." Su Xueqing said.
“You’re still wearing a cheongsam.” Amelia Su saw the cheongsam on Amelia Su. This cheongsam was very beautiful and should cost a lot of money.
"A great start." Su Xueqing said.
“Just Shanshan’s result… hehe.” Amelia Su sneered.
At this time, Wei Shanshan came out, and she just heard what Amelia Su said.
"Aunt." Wei Shanshan called Su Xueqing. She was afraid that if she didn't say anything, her mother would say something unpleasant.
“I just knew to call you auntie. Didn’t you see your parents standing here?” Amelia Su asked.
"Dad, Mom." Wei Shanshan said.
"Go, go to your aunt's house to pack up your things. It's time to go back home." Amelia Su said, "You can't keep bothering your aunt. It's too outrageous for others to see it."
"It's not too late to go back tomorrow." Su Xueqing said, "There's no need to leave today. I even asked someone to make her something delicious to celebrate the end of her high school entrance exam today."
“We also prepared food for her.” Amelia Su said.
"..." After hearing this, Su Xueqing felt embarrassed to ask Wei Shanshan to stay.
Amelia Su followed the car to Su Xueqing's house, and Wei Dashan went back first. Amelia Su went to pack things for Wei Shanshan, and she didn't fold the clothes properly, but just threw them into the bag casually.
"Mom, I'll clean it up myself." Wei Shanshan saw Amelia Su throwing clothes around casually. Some of the clothes were new clothes bought for her by her aunt. She couldn't bear to see those clothes being thrown around casually.
"You pack up, how long are you going to finish packing?" Amelia Su said, "Go back early, your brother will be hungry."
"..." Wei Shanshan knew that she shouldn't have any hope in her biological mother, because her mother was not someone who would care about her thoughts.
Amelia Su quickly helped Wei Shanshan pack up her things. Wei Shanshan didn't have much stuff herself. As for the bedding and other things that Wei Shanshan left at school, those things had long been sent to Amelia Su's house by Su Xueqing. When Su Xueqing took Wei Shanshan to her home, she had to let someone know about Amelia Su.
When Amelia Su knew that Su Xueqing had taken Wei Shanshan away, she didn't even raise her eyelids and didn't think about picking up Wei Shanshan. Amelia Su was also relieved that Wei Shanshan was at Su Xueqing's house, so she could worry less.
Amelia Su went downstairs with Wei Shanshan. Amelia Su handed Wei Shanshan a cake. She had someone specially make that cake. It was a fruit cream cake with a lot of fruit pudding on it.
"Take it back and eat it." Su Xueqing said, "Consider it as a celebration for Shanshan."
“Then take it back.” Amelia Su said.
Wei Shanshan took the cake. She was afraid that her mother would not let her take it, but fortunately her mother said it was okay.
Amelia Su watched Wei Shanshan leave with Amelia Su, and her eldest sister was still the same. Amelia Su was the kind of person who wanted to take advantage, but was afraid that others would say she was taking advantage.
Ning Yanjing came back early on purpose. Su Xueqing said she wanted to celebrate the end of the high school entrance examination for Wei Shanshan, but she didn't expect Wei Shanshan to leave with Su Yamei. Ning Yanjing bought a roast duck. Wei Shanshan didn't like these things before, but she can eat them after the high school entrance examination, and she doesn't have to worry about getting a stomachache.
"Leaving now?" Ning Yanjing walked into the living room.
"Let's go." Su Xueqing said, she saw the roast duck in Ning Yanjing's hand, "We'll eat it ourselves."
"Okay." Ning Yanjing said.
Ning Yanjing was not sad that Wei Shanshan did not stay for dinner. He was nicer to Wei Shanshan for Su Xueqing's sake. When Ning Yanjing saw Wei Shanshan leaving with Su Yamei, he did not take the roast duck back to Su Yamei and her daughter, but took it home because his wife and daughter still wanted to eat it.
Amelia Su did not let the driver take them away. Su Xueqing asked the driver to take them away, but Amelia Su said no. There were not many things, so Amelia Su wanted to take Wei Shanshan on the road to let others know that she, the biological mother, went to pick up her biological daughter.
Wei Shanshan walked beside Amelia Su, and she knew what her biological mother was thinking after thinking about it for a while. It was obviously her aunt who did a lot of things, but her biological mother liked to show off.
"Shanshan's high school entrance exam is over." someone asked.
“Yes, it’s over.” Amelia Su said with a smile.
"You're a really good mother. You even went to pick her up." This is what the neighbors said when they saw Amelia Su bringing Wei Shanshan back.
Wei Shanshan really wanted to say: My mother is not good, it is my aunt who is good.
But Wei Shanshan couldn't say it, because she still had to live with Amelia Su under the same roof.
When Wei Shanshan got home, Wei Yaozu had already eaten most of the half roast chicken on the table. He had eaten the chicken legs, chicken breast... all of them, and the only things left were the chicken butt and chicken feet. Was this to celebrate the end of her high school entrance exam?
