Chapter 7: Can you give us her salary?
When Aunt Xu heard her daughter's words, she quickly shook her head at her daughter, looked around, and nodded at her daughter.
"I'm not wrong." Aunt Xu's daughter whispered.
"Okay." Aunt Xu said in a low voice, "She will sleep here for one night, you sleep with her."
Ke Jingshu was not satisfied, because she was the daughter of Aunt Xu, and her elder sister was getting married. It was not good for Xu Ruyun to sleep with her elder sister, so she could only let Xu Ruyun sleep with Ke Jingshu.
Xu Ruyun was sitting in the living room watching TV, and she noticed the displeasure on Ke Jingshu's face.
So what?
Xu Ruyun thought that she had been very nice to these people in her previous life, and they all wanted to help her. When she had problems, they all stayed away from her. In her previous life, Xu Ruyun thought that these people were good. Now she was more observant and did not miss the slightest expressions of these people. She magnified every little mistake infinitely.
These people are all bad people, no good, and they watched her fall into the fire pit.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Before Ke Jingshu sat down next to Xu Ruyun, she saw that Xu Ruyun had a ferocious expression on her face. "Why do you look like that?"
"I watched it on TV." Xu Ruyun explained that she couldn't control her expression for a moment and she still had to control it more.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Brother Su San sent Su Xueqing to school. The weather was good and it was not raining, but the brother and sister did not bring an umbrella.
"Walk slowly on the way." Su's mother warned, "It's so late, don't run around when you get to the dormitory, and don't think about going to the library."
"No, I went back to pack up and go to bed." Su Xueqing said.
"Go to bed early." Old Madam Su said, "If you don't want to sleep in the school dormitory, you can sleep in my room."
"The school dormitory is pretty good." Su Xueqing said.
"Be careful at night. You sleep on the upper bunk and it's not easy to climb up and down." Old Mrs. Su said again.
The dormitory at Nancheng University is a four-person room, with beds on the upper floor and a wardrobe and desk on the lower floor. This condition is quite good, as many schools still have upper and lower bunks, and people sleep on both bunks. It is common for seven or eight people to sleep in one dormitory.
"I know." Su Xueqing nodded.
Amelia Su watched Su's mother and Mrs. Su instruct Amelia Su, and Brother Su San was going to see Amelia Su off. Amelia Su recalled the past, had she ever been treated so well before? Oh, when she went to the countryside, these people did send her on the bus, but she didn't want to go to the countryside as an educated youth.
Once, someone said that going to the countryside as an educated youth to build the motherland, Amelia Su was a little impulsive. After the impulse, she regretted it, but there was nothing she could do. Amelia Su had a strong self-esteem, and besides, things had already become a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible for Amelia Su to say at that time that she would not go to the countryside.
Brother Su San originally wanted to ride his bicycle to take Su Xueqing there, but Su Xueqing said no. It would only take them about 10 to 20 minutes to walk there, and it was very close. Of course, Brother Su San could push his bicycle there and ride back, which would be faster.
Then, Brother Su San pushed his bicycle over and Su Xueqing walked beside him.
Amelia Su had something to say to Brother Su San. Amelia Su had a bad temper. Amelia Su was afraid that when she was not at home, Amelia Su would make a fuss, and she was afraid that Amelia Su would not consider the child and would just run away with the child.
"Eldest sister..."
"Don't worry, it's okay. We are here for you, eldest sister." Brother Su San knew what Su Xueqing was going to say.
When Brother Su San and his wife returned home, Amelia Su’s words were still rather harsh. Brother Su San was not a fool, so how could he not know that Amelia Su had a bad attitude.
"As for you, go back to the dormitory and don't think about these things." Brother Su San said.
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "If the eldest sister wants to run away, don't let her run away with the child at this late hour. If the couple wants to run away, they should run away and don't tire the child out."
"Everything will be fine as long as we can have a smooth meal tonight," said Brother Su San.
"I hope so." Su Xueqing said. She had no way to tell Third Brother Su about the contents of the book. Even if she told him, Third Brother Su and his people would not believe her and would only say that she was dreaming. All Su Xueqing could do was to try her best to arrange some things so that these people would have fewer conflicts. "My eldest sister suffered a lot in the countryside. In the past, when school started after the summer vacation, the school asked us to weed, but I didn't like to go because it was too hard."
Bending down to pull out the weeds, the roots of the weeds were very developed. Although they were less than 20 centimeters on the surface, the roots underground were probably very long. When Su Xueqing, who was about eight or nine years old, pulled out the weeds, she didn't pull out the roots. She pulled out the leaves, threw them away, and leaned back, sitting on the ground.
"My eldest sister has to farm in the countryside, and she has a lot of work to do." Su Xueqing said, "Mom said that my eldest sister and her husband should stay at home for a month."
Amelia Su once again reminded Brother Su that a month would pass quickly, so just be patient. After a month, if Amelia Su and her husband still had to live at home, they could talk about other things at that time. At least they should say less now. With a month of buffer time, Amelia Su would be able to say less slowly.
However, Su Xueqing never thought about taking over after her mother retired. She went to college and the government would arrange a job for her in the future. She didn't have to worry about not having a job. A top student like Su Xueqing could find a job even if the government didn't arrange a job for her. In addition, Su Xueqing had never had a headache about work in her previous life, so she didn't even think about the problem of work.
Su Xueqing didn't think about it, but Su Yanan did, and Su Sansao also thought about it.
Brother Su San sent Su Xueqing to the downstairs of the school dormitory, and then he went back home. Su Xueqing still had to tidy up the dormitory, and when she got there she found her roommate Ning Jiaxuan was there too.
Ning Jiaxuan has a good family background. Even in the special times, the Ning family has stood firm. Some of the Ning family members joined the army, some sacrificed their lives, and donated money and medicine. The Ning family is very famous in South City. Ning Jiaxuan is not as beautiful as Su Xueqing, but she has a good temperament. She doesn't look like a supporting maid when she stands next to Su Xueqing.
Ning Jiaxuan didn't like being arranged by her family all the time, she preferred to be free. After Ning Jiaxuan went to college, she had to live in the dormitory, but she went back after a few days at first. She stayed in the dormitory for a very short time in a semester.
"Jiaxuan, why are you back?" Su Xueqing asked puzzled.
"I'm in this dormitory too." Ning Jiaxuan said, "By the way, why are you here?"
"My eldest sister is back. Her family of three sleeps in the living room. I'm back to sleep in the dormitory." Su Xueqing said, "It's convenient to sleep in the dormitory."
"Poor kid, was he kicked out?" Ning Jiaxuan raised her eyebrows.
"...No, I came here voluntarily." Su Xueqing said, "My home is close to the school, and living in the school is also convenient for me to study. Isn't the baking training class also nearby? It's convenient to go back and forth."
Su Xueqing tried to think about the content of the original novel. She couldn't remember it clearly. Ning Jiaxuan seemed to be a green tea female supporting role in the original novel. Su Xueqing didn't think Ning Jiaxuan was so green tea. She could only say that Ning Jiaxuan had a good family background and was spoiled since she was a child. Sometimes she spoke without thinking.
Others said that Ning Jiaxuan treated Su Xueqing as a follower and a maid. Su Xueqing didn't think so. Some people even said in front of Ning Jiaxuan that Su Xueqing treated Ning Jiaxuan as a supporting role to set off her.
"What about you? Didn't you say you would stay at home?" Su Xueqing said.
"It's all because of my little brother." Ning Jiaxuan sighed, "He's not married yet, and he's very capable of making money. So many people are eyeing him."
"Young man?" Su Xueqing asked puzzledly.
"Yes." Ning Jiaxuan said, "A relative introduced him to a girl and brought her home without even saying hello. The guy looked very unhappy. It looked like lightning and thunder were about to start, and dark clouds were covering the sky. Of course I quickly hid out to avoid getting wet in the rain."
"Didn't you listen more?" Su Xueqing said.
"The first time, I listened and felt it was new. The second time, I listened and saw if there was anything different. The third and fourth times, it was meaningless." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You don't know how serious my brother is. He would pull me out from the corner and ask me if the show was good. Could I say it was good?"
Ning Jiaxuan shrugged. "It's human nature to join in the fun. I'll listen. What's wrong with that? The young man also said that I'm not young anymore. Do I need to go on a blind date or arrange a marriage? I... I haven't even graduated from college yet."
Ning Jiaxuan is older than Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing is the youngest in the dormitory.
"Come to think of it, have you seen my brother?" Ning Jiaxuan suddenly asked. "Yes," Su Xueqing said, "I saw him from a distance when your brother picked you up."
Su Xueqing did not come over. She and Ning Jiaxuan were not inseparable all the time. Ning Jiaxuan's family had someone else to pick her up, and Ning Jiaxuan's brother rarely came over.
"I met him last week." Su Xueqing said.
"Yeah." Ning Jiaxuan said, "He went there today, too, but you've already gone back, so you didn't see him."
Su Xueqing smiled. She didn't think much about anything else. She just thought that Ning Jiaxuan was a green tea female supporting role, and the ending of this female supporting role was to be sent abroad. But for someone who basically stayed in China, it would not be easy for Ning Jiaxuan to be suddenly sent abroad. After all, the author regarded sending the female supporting role abroad as exiling the female supporting role.
If Ning Jiaxuan didn't want to go abroad, Su Xueqing thought it was better not to go. It was not against the law, it was just that some unpleasant words were said, which annoyed people. Besides, the heroine in the original novel was a black-hearted lotus, not a pure kind person. The heroine insisted on "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me." That heroine was cruel. If the heroine felt that others were a little dangerous, she would try to suppress them.
"It's strange. He never picked me up like this before." Ning Jiaxuan pouted. "I guess he wanted to avoid those people, but when he returned home, he still couldn't avoid them."
“…” Su Xueqing didn’t say much. That was the Ning family’s business and had nothing to do with her, Su Xueqing. It was not appropriate for her to comment.
On the other side, Brother Su returned home. Amelia Su's husband had gone to sleep on the upper bunk. Amelia Su and her daughter were on the lower bunk, and there was a curtain covering them. Mother Su asked if she was going to send Xueqing downstairs to the dormitory. Brother Su replied "yes" and went to the room.
"Does your elder sister want your mother's job?" When Su San Ge came back to the room, Mrs. Su pulled her husband to a corner. "She must think that we don't have a child yet, so I can stay at home and get pregnant and have the baby while she goes to work. Can she give us her salary?"
