Chapter 61 Excuses Do they always do this?
"What's going on?" Su Xueqing wondered.
"Xueqing, Xueqing." Yu Dasao hurried to Su Xueqing's side. She and Yu Guochao had just come over, and did not come with Su Xiaogu. Su Xiaogu came over earlier. "Where's your elder sister?"
When Yu Dasao saw that someone’s shop was closed, she thought of Yu Dasao.
"My eldest sister washes vegetables and cooks at home." Su Xueqing said.
"Your elder sister and the others..." Yu's wife looked at the people watching the excitement, and then at the people from the relevant departments, "Are they all right?"
"It should be fine." Su Xueqing said, "The ingredients used in my eldest sister's shop are all very good. She eats them herself and our family also eats them."
“…” Mrs. Yu thought something would happen to Amelia Su, and she thought that Amelia Su’s breakfast shop could make money, it must be because Amelia Su used bad flour and other things that shouldn’t be used.
"Cousin, are you...are you disappointed?" Su Xueqing felt that something was wrong with Sister Yu's expression.
"No, no, your eldest sister is fine, that's the best." Yu's sister-in-law said, "We all don't want anything to happen to our eldest cousin."
Those people left quickly, and they did not seal up Amelia Su's shop. It was not because Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing had connections, but because those people had already explored the area and knew which store bought the bad flour and the inferior gutter oil.
The higher-ups have been keeping an eye on the flour issue for a while. Those who sell flour are all black-hearted. If others don't buy their flour, they will try to stop them from opening their stores and cause them all kinds of trouble. Others really have no choice but to buy those flours. Those who buy flours are afraid of retaliation and dare not call the police, so they can only buy those flours.
Amelia Su was stubborn, and besides, Amelia Su’s fiancé was from the Ning family, so those who sold flour did not dare to force Amelia Su and her husband to buy it.
The neighbors all knew that the breakfast shop of Amelia Su and her husband had good ingredients. The Su family came to buy and ate in front of them, so they also came to buy. The old ladies who bought vegetables knew which store's flour was not good, but the young people didn't know much. The young people just wanted to buy things back and eat them.
Sister Yu watched the people from the relevant departments leave, and she felt a little regretful. Sister Yu thought that even if Amelia Su's breakfast shop was closed, Amelia Su and her husband would not be in trouble, and Su Xueqing would definitely help Amelia Su.
"Cousin, can you do housework?" Su Xueqing asked, "Can you wash and cut vegetables?"
"Yes." Yu Dasao said, "We country folks have to cook for ourselves, so we all know how to wash and cut vegetables. Cousin, don't you know how to do it?"
"Well, I don't know how." Su Xueqing nodded, "Grandma is your and your eldest cousin's grandmother, you can go and help, help wash the vegetables and so on. The second aunt and the youngest aunt are helping over there, and your mother-in-law is here."
Su Xueqing said this deliberately, she saw the disappointment on Yu Dasao's face. Su Xueqing didn't like Amelia Su very much, but Amelia Su was serious about opening a breakfast shop. Yu Dasao and Yu Guochao had previously learned to make steamed buns and steamed buns from Amelia Su and her husband, but neither of them learned well, and they both wanted to learn it all at once, wondering if others had a secret recipe.
"Then let's go quickly." Yu Dasao said hurriedly. She was wondering if Su Xueqing had figured out something. "Your cousin and I will go over first."
Mrs. Yu signaled Yu Guochao to leave quickly. If he didn't leave quickly, who knew what Amelia Su would say. Among the sisters in the Su family, only Su Yanan was better, and the third brother Su would say less. Amelia Su's mouth was like a machine gun, and Amelia Su would tolerate it a little, but if they made Amelia Su unhappy, Amelia Su would not give them face.
"Hurry up." Su Xueqing said, "Your mother-in-law is here."
"..." Mrs. Yu twitched her lips slightly. What mother-in-law or not? Even if her mother-in-law was not there, she had to go there.
"I don't know if we have enough aprons at home. Do you want to buy some?" Su Xueqing said again.
"It's okay. Our clothes are not worth much." Mrs. Yu said, "They will be clean after washing."
Yu Guochao followed behind Yu Dasao, and the two of them left quickly.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were not that fast, they were a little slower. The people from the relevant departments had already left, and the other shops that were not closed had no major problems. Some shop owners still walked out of the door to take a look, they were also afraid. You know, many people couldn't stand it and bought the flour, and some people bought noodles made from the flour and sold them.
Mrs. Yu went to the Su family first and told them that the store had been closed and required to make rectifications.
"It's only a matter of time." Amelia Su said, "Those people bought the bad flour, they should have known that this would happen. The flour seller said it was cheap, I knew it was not good, I didn't even need to look. The flour seemed to be quite clean, but it was really bad."
Amelia Su couldn’t buy it, “We have to eat it ourselves. If we make buns and steamed buns, and we don’t eat them ourselves, can others eat them with confidence? If you eat bad things for a long time, your body will become very bad. Even if you don’t consider others, you have to consider yourself.”
“…” Sister Yu didn’t expect Amelia Su to say this, she really thought Amelia Su used those bad things.
"You don't think that our steamed buns are so popular because we put something wrong in them, do you?" Amelia Su glanced at Mrs. Yu, "We didn't put anything wrong in them. Those people don't have the skills, so they use other things. We specially learned how to make pastries, and we can even raise yeast ourselves. Everyone can taste whether the food is delicious and the quality is good. You can't hide it from those old ladies, because they will know it once they taste it."
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Yu said, "Nothing happened, that's the best."
"Of course nothing happened." Amelia Su said, "I did something wrong, so I'm afraid of others coming to my door. Are you still selling breakfast?"
"No more." Yu Dasao thought to herself that it was fortunate that her family did not continue to do this. If they continued to do this, their family would also be harassed. You know, Yu Dasao and his wife also bought those bad flours and other things, but they could not make breakfast well, and the food they made was not delicious, so others did not like to buy it.
"It's better not to do it. You have to get up early in this line of work." Amelia Su said, "Others are sleeping, but we are working. There is no way to change shifts, so we can only bite the bullet and work. If we don't work, we won't make any money. If we work, it's hard and tiring, so we have to continue working. We have children at home, so we can't not work."
Sister Yu also has children, and they are not in a hurry to pay back the money they owe. Sister Yu thinks that as long as she pays back the money from her parents' home, that's all. She doesn't want her family to think that she is still living such a bad life even though she has come to the city. As for the money owed to Aunt Su's relatives, it doesn't matter.
"Don't your two children also need to go to school?" Amelia Su said, "Studying costs money, and children can't dress too poorly in school."
"They are fine." Yu Dasao was not in a hurry. She had a son and a daughter, and the two children were close in age. Yu Dasao thought that if her son needed money for a dowry when he got married, she could let her daughter get married first. When her daughter got married, she would have money for the dowry.
Yu Dasao is a typical country woman, and her ideas are even more patriarchal than Amelia Su's. Amelia Su ignored her daughter, but she didn't think about marrying her daughter off to her son for the bride price. Amelia Su thought about working hard to earn the bride price for her son.
"It's good to have children. You can just count on them to do well in school and wait for them to be filial to you in the future." Su Yamei said. She thought that Yu Guochao and his wife were so lazy, and she didn't know what their children would be like when they grew up.
The news that a store on the street was sealed and required to make rectification spread quickly. Some people had eaten in the sealed store before, and they all felt very angry. They asked them to compensate, but they felt that they had no problem and it was impossible for them to compensate, so they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
"Is your daughter Yamei okay?" Xu's mother came back from outside and asked Su's mother who was working in the yard.
"It's okay." Su's mother said, "She is working on something to celebrate her grandma's birthday."
"Yeah, you guys eat those things too, how can they be bad?" said Xu's mother.
Xu's mother often bought steamed buns from Amelia Su. She had eaten them before and they tasted good. Amelia Su's breakfast shop was cleaned very cleanly by Amelia Su and her husband. Others could see what was inside when they went to buy things, and they felt relieved when they saw it.
At this time, Su's mother saw the fruit in Ning Yanjing's hand, so she hurried over and reached out to take it, but Ning Yanjing told him to take it into the house.
"Why are you going to buy fruit again?" Su's mother asked.
"Look at the big fish and meat that Big Sister and the others bought. There are so many meat dishes, so let's buy some fruits to relieve the greasiness." Su Xueqing joked, "Don't be disgusted by these things we bought before Big Sister buys them."
“You.” Mother Su knew that Amelia Su could buy better things, but Amelia Su didn’t, and it was all because Amelia Su wanted to save face.
If sisters give in to each other, some things will pass.
In Su's mother's eyes, Amelia Su was born to Su's mother, and Amelia Su was also born to Su's mother. Amelia Su clearly understood this, and she did not ask her biological mother to choose one between the two of them, and did not embarrass the elders.
It is now the eleventh month of the lunar calendar and it will be December soon. Su Xueqing will give the gifts to the elders next month, so there is no need to waste this month.
It was just a meal. Others saw it, but they also knew that this meal would not cost much. If Amelia Su wanted to save face, then she could do it. It was Amelia Su who spent more money, not Su Xueqing. If Su Xueqing spent money to save face for Amelia Su, she would not agree.
“Come, come, come, make way, make way.” Amelia Su held two ducks and went to the door.
Amelia Su got a few bricks and an old pot at the door. She was going to make smoked duck at the door. Amelia Su originally wanted to buy a duck and put it on a plate separately, but she was afraid that it would be known and not look good if she told others about it. It would be better to buy two of them, and she didn't miss one.
Both ducks have been steamed and now they need to be smoked. Su Yamei grabbed two handfuls of rice and put them in the pot. This way the smoked duck will taste delicious.
Amelia Su watched Su fiddling with it, let alone smoking the duck, Amelia Su couldn’t even light the fire.
The yard was shared by almost everyone, and neighbors could see what the Su family was doing. When Xu's mother saw the two ducks in the basin, she said, "These two ducks are quite big."
"I bought a bigger one on purpose." Amelia Su said, "If you buy one that's too small, there won't be any meat. It's a rare birthday for grandma, so I have to buy something better."
"Give your grandma a good birthday." said Xu's mother.
These days, the news that Amelia Su wanted to celebrate Old Madam Su's birthday has spread, and people around her think that Amelia Su should be nicer to Old Madam Su. Wei Shanshan sleeps with Old Madam Su, and Old Madam Su also picks Wei Shanshan up and down, so Amelia Su has to be very grateful to Old Madam Su.
Amelia Su didn’t take care of Wei Shanshan for Old Lady Su, it was purely for her own face.
Last year, Amelia Su returned to the city, without a job, and had to rely on her parents' family, which was shameful. This year, Amelia Su wants to get back all the lost face and let others know that she is not only relying on her parents' family, but she is capable.
Amelia Su and others quickly prepared some food, and it was past five in the evening. They set up a table in the yard and another in the living room. Old Mrs. Su, Father Su and other adults sat in the living room to eat, while children and some younger generations ate in the yard.
When the others sat down to eat, Amelia Su and Su Yanan were busy cooking and serving dishes, but Amelia Su did not go to help. Amelia Su went to help, which was just a mess. She and Ning Yanjing sat together in the yard to eat. They wore thicker clothes, so they were not cold.
Once the hot dishes are served, everyone will warm up after eating them.
Brother Su San asked Ning Yanjing to go in and sit, but Ning Yanjing didn't go. He stayed with Su Xueqing. Ning Yanjing didn't drink, so there was no point in sitting there. Brother Su San didn't stop Ning Yanjing and asked him to stay with Su Xueqing.
"The young couple has a good relationship." Aunt Su said.
Mrs. Su is old, so she drinks some juice. Mrs. Su looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and she thought Amelia Su was willing to give it up this time. Of course, there were also dishes bought by the third brother Su and his wife, and Amelia Su and others also brought some.
"Eat more." Su Yanan brought the dishes to the table and said to everyone, "Eat as much as you can."
Su Yanan still had to work in the kitchen as there were still some dishes that had not been served.
Yu Dasao and Su Xueqing sat at one table, while Yu Guochao and Yu Jiachao sat together with Su's father and others. Yu Dasao and Zhu Baoqian sat a little further away. The two sisters-in-law didn't get along, and everyone knew that if the two sat too close, something would happen.
Mrs. Yu picked up some food for her child, and the child ate with oil dripping from his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, you have to give the child more food." Zhu Baoqian said, "It's rare to have a good meal."
After Zhu Baoqian finished speaking, she looked at Su Xueqing again and said, “Cousin, you don’t know that my sister-in-law and her family often eat pickled vegetables and radishes, and the children often come to our place for dinner.”
Zhu Baoqian was dissatisfied with Yu Dasao always letting her children eat for free. Yu Dasao and her husband did not work and did not try hard to make money, so there was only a little food on the table. Yu Dasao let her children eat for free in front of Aunt Su. It was fine once or twice, but whenever the family made something delicious, such as some minced meat, Yu Dasao's children would come over.
"The child likes to eat with grandparents." Yu Dasao didn't think she did anything wrong. The child called Aunt Su grandma, so how could it be wrong for the child to eat with grandparents? "If you don't like it, you two can cook separately."
"Look at what you said, sister-in-law..." Zhu Baoqian sneered, "Whose parents-in-law don't eat with their sons and daughters-in-law? You have to choose one among several sons. If mom and dad eat with you, I think you won't have to pay for the food yourself, but dad will have to pay for the food. My eldest cousin is still filial and knows to celebrate her grandmother's birthday."
Zhu Baoqian said this deliberately. Amelia Su often came to her parents' house for dinner last year, but Amelia Su is working hard to make money now, and she also knows to give her family some benefits. As for Yu Guochao and his wife, they have been back to the city for so long, but they still don't find a good job and still do odd jobs.
"Are you filial? And you're still criticizing us." said Mrs. Yu.
"We paid for the groceries, so dad didn't have to pay for all the groceries." Zhu Baoqian said, "We didn't spend so much of the family's money, and we don't owe that much money. Sister-in-law, you still have to find a job."
"Xueqing, find a job for your sister-in-law." Sister Yu looked at Su Xueqing, "As long as it's not sweeping the streets and you can go home and take care of the children, that's fine."
"I can't find it." Su Xueqing didn't expect Yu Dasao to come and ask her.
"Isn't your boyfriend here?" Mrs. Yu asked again.
"There's no suitable one." Ning Yanjing refused.
At this moment, Zhu Baoqian regretted that she shouldn't have asked Yu Dasao to find a job. She didn't expect that Yu Dasao would ask Su Xueqing for a job directly.
"Don't you run a restaurant? You also run a company, so why don't you need people to do the work?" Mrs. Yu said, "We have our own family, so we can trust them."
"Cousin, you learned to make pastries from your elder sister, but you haven't even become your own boss, let alone work as a subordinate." Su Xueqing said, "When you work for others, you have to listen to what others say, not do whatever you want."
Su Xueqing really wanted to roll her eyes. Just eat your meal, why say these things.
"My cousin is right." Zhu Baoqian said quickly. She had seen Su Xueqing's impatience. "Sister-in-law, don't you dislike working? You said that those people disliked your work and said that you couldn't rest more? You earn money by working, and other people's money doesn't just appear suddenly. You can't take it for free."
"I didn't ask you to find a job." Mrs. Yu glared at Zhu Baoqian and said, "My cousin, you are living such a good life..."
"My cousin is living a good life because of her ability." Zhu Baoqian didn't let Yu Dasao continue. Did Yu Dasao have to offend people at this time?
This was Old Lady Su's birthday party. Su Xueqing didn't just stand up and leave. She held Ning Yanjing's hand tightly. Some people are just particularly disgusting.
"You guys don't want to work on the construction site because you think it's dirty and tiring." Su Xueqing said, "My partner is my partner, not your partner. Don't take the opportunity to say that my partner and I don't find jobs for you. There are job opportunities in front of you, but you are picky. Who can you blame?"
"There are dead people at the construction site." said Mrs. Yu.
"Open a breakfast shop?" Su Xueqing said.
"Someone's shop has been closed." Mrs. Yu said, "Who knows if we will run into the same situation if we open a shop? By then, we will lose a lot of money after paying the rent. And you are unwilling to lend us money, so we..."
"Help in emergencies, not in poverty." Su Xueqing said, "You have your own hands and feet, you don't work, you borrow money, and you treat other people's money as your own. You really have the nerve to cheat your relatives."
"I……"
"Xueqing is right." Zhu Baoqian said, "Sister-in-law, let's eat, let's eat."
Mrs. Yu stood up suddenly. She looked at the table. There were so many delicious foods on it. Forget it. She just sat down. If she left like this, wouldn't Zhu Baoqian laugh to death?
"Do you want to go see grandma?" Ning Yanjing asked Su Xueqing softly.
"Go, go and tell grandma happy birthday." Su Xueqing said.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing brought juice to see Old Lady Su and said a few words of blessing to her.
At this time, Yan Yichen returned home. The floor was a mess and Yan's mother had thrown some things.
"Did you go on a date with the daughter of the enemy who killed your father?" Yan's mother stared at Yan Yichen, "Why are you back so late?"
"I went to discuss business with someone." Yan Yichen said.
"The factory hasn't even been built yet, who are you going to talk to about business?" Yan's mother said, "I'm telling you, you can't always be with Ning Jiaxuan, even if you're engaged. The Ning family is not good people, they will hurt you."
Yan Yichen had a headache. He really went to discuss cooperation with others, and he didn't spend every day with Ning Jiaxuan. Ning Jiaxuan rarely took the initiative to find Yan Yichen, and it was Yan Yichen who took the initiative to find Ning Jiaxuan. Yan Yichen had to take the initiative. There were so many people watching outside, waiting to tear a piece of meat from Yan Yichen. Those people didn't want Yan Yichen to do well, and they didn't want the Yan family to stand up again.
"Mom, that's not true." Yan Yichen frowned, "Who told you that I went on a date?"
"A lot of people said you guys were going on a date, and they all congratulated me, saying that I'm going to have a daughter-in-law, and that I'm going to have a big fat grandson." Mother Yan said, "I don't recognize the child Ning Jiaxuan gave birth to!"
Yan Yichen couldn't tell his mother that Ning Jiaxuan didn't like him that much. Ning Jiaxuan didn't care about the engagement at all. If he said that, his mother would only make a fuss even more.
"Mom, Ning Jiaxuan and I are only engaged, and it hasn't progressed to that stage yet. Others are just teasing and saying a few words, you..."
"Are you saying they are just catching wind and making up stories? Flies don't bite eggs without cracks." Yan's mother said, "You are engaged, you... do you think that because your grandmother is backing you up, you don't take me, your biological mother, seriously? Do you take your grandmother's words as an imperial decree and ignore my words?"
"No, Mom, nothing like that happened." Yan Yichen said, "Mom, don't think too much. Have you taken your medicine today?"
"You just ask me if I have taken medicine. You ask me as soon as I come back." Yan's mother said, "I have said many times that I am not sick. I am not sick. Did you ask me to take medicine with sleeping pills? Do you want me to sleep all day long?"
"That's not the case." Yan Yichen said.
"Your grandmother has been dissatisfied for a long time. She thinks I am not good at this or that." Yan's mother said, "My family is not good enough, and she just looks down on me. Do you listen to your grandmother? You..."
"Mom!" Yan Yichen had a headache. No matter what he did, his mother would always say, "Take the medicine first, then take the medicine..."
"After taking the medicine, do you want to rest?" Yan's mother said sharply, "I said, I don't want to take medicine."
Yan's mother directly knocked over the medicine and water brought by the servant. Her son tried to persuade her that it was useless to take medicine, as she just didn't want to take it.
"Don't eat it yet, eat it later." Yan Yichen said.
"You won't eat even if you wait for a while." said Yan's mother.
"..." Yan Yichen was helpless. He worked hard outside and had to coax his mother when he got home. If he didn't coax his mother, his mother would think that he didn't care about him.
His mother always compares him with Old Lady Yan. Yan's mother thinks Yan Yichen is too good to the old lady, but not good enough to her. Yan's mother doesn't dare to make too much noise in front of Old Lady Yan, but she dares to make more noise in front of Yan Yichen. Yan Yichen is her biological son, and Old Lady Yan has majesty. Yan's mother used to be afraid of Old Lady Yan.
"If you don't want to take the medicine, don't make a fuss." Old Lady Yan came down from upstairs. She didn't like to hear Yan's mother making a fuss. But if Yan Yichen wasn't at home, Old Lady Yan wouldn't care much about Yan's mother. If Yan's mother kept holding it in, she was afraid that something worse would happen later. It would be better to let Yan's mother vent first.
As soon as Mother Yan saw Old Lady Yan, she became as quiet as a quail.
"Mom..." Mother Yan was a little scared.
"Do you want to take medicine?" asked Old Mrs. Yan.
"Take the medicine, take the medicine, I'll take it right away." Yan's mother looked around, saw the medicine on the ground, and lowered her head to pick it up.
"Take it again." said Old Mrs. Yan.
The servant hurried to get medicine for Yan's mother, and Old Lady Yan stared at Yan's mother as she took the medicine.
"I begged for your son's engagement with the Ning family's daughter at the cost of my dignity," said Old Lady Yan. "When the old man and old lady of the Ning family were alive, our two families had discussed the engagement. But if they didn't acknowledge it, we had no choice, so they still acknowledged the engagement. This engagement can save your son a lot of detours. With the Ning family as a backer, many things will be much easier. Don't think that the Ning family is our enemy all the time. They are not."
"Mom, they..."
"Hmm?" Old Mrs. Yan gave her a look, and Yan's mother didn't dare to speak.
"Mom, I'm going to go back and rest. I'm going to go back and rest." said Yan's mother.
Yan's mother was afraid that Old Madam Yan would not let her be buried with her dead husband, that Old Madam Yan would not acknowledge her as the Yan family's daughter-in-law, that Old Madam Yan would scold her... Yan's mother had been afraid of Old Madam Yan for a long time, and even though she was obviously afraid, she still talked about Old Madam Yan behind her back.
Yan Yichen sent his mother to rest so that she could feel more at ease.
Old Lady Yan stood alone in the living room, she only thought that she had to live longer, she had to hold on a little longer. Otherwise, if she died, her daughter-in-law would not know how to make a fuss.
The Ning family has been very kind to the Yan family. If the Ning family rejects the Yan family or does not allow the Yan family to develop in South City, the Yan family will encounter many troubles.
During the special period, the things that the Ning family sent to the Yan family also made their lives much better. Old Mrs. Yan didn't understand why her daughter-in-law had such a paranoid idea. Just because the Ning family was not sent to the farm, the daughter-in-law thought that the Ning family was bad?
Old Mrs. Yan didn't think that there was no smoke without fire. Her daughter-in-law had always been stupid, and they couldn't think along the lines of Mrs. Yan's.
After a while, Yan Yichen came out of Yan's mother's room and went to the living room.
"Grandma." Yan Yichen rubbed his brows, "Do you want to go and rest?"
"Business is important, but don't forget your fiancée." Old Lady Yan said, "The girl from the Ning family won't be bad."
"Yeah." Yan Yichen nodded.
"With your mother being like this... I'm afraid people will look down on our family." Old Lady Yan sighed, "We prayed for this, your mother..."
Old Lady Yan shook her head gently. They couldn't leave Mother Yan alone, and couldn't let her stay anywhere else. They had to let Mother Yan stay by their side so that they could better control her actions and prevent her from making big mistakes.
Yan Yichen was exhausted; he had to deal with too many things every day.
"Go back and have a rest." said Old Mrs. Yan.
"Grandma." Yan Yichen opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He could only say, "You should also go to bed early."
At the Su family, the birthday party was over. Aunt Su Er and Aunt Su Xiao were both praising Amelia Su, saying that Amelia Su did a good job. Amelia Su smiled, she was satisfied, she just wanted these relatives to praise her, she would not only cause trouble for her family.
Zhu Baoqian looked at Yu Guochao, whose face was red from drinking. Yu Guochao had just said at the banquet that everyone looked down on him, saying that he did not have a stable job, that he had no money, and that he was poor... Yu Jiachao asked Yu Guochao to stop talking, but Yu Guochao continued to talk. Yu Guochao was drunk, and no one could stop him from saying those words.
Yu Guochao meant that everyone treated him badly and didn’t help him because they were afraid that he wouldn’t be able to repay the favor or the money…
Zhu Baoqian walked over to Yu Jiachao, who also drank, but not that much. Zhu Baoqian thought that Yu Guochao and his wife were both sick. Yu Guochao was drunk, and Yu's wife was forcing Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing to arrange a job for her.
"Let's go." Zhu Baoqian pulled Yu Jiachao's hand and whispered, "Go quickly, tell your elder brother and sister-in-law to leave quickly, don't stay here and embarrass yourself."
"Let's go together." Yu Jiachao said, "Let's go now."
"Mom, Dad, let's go back quickly. If we go any later, there won't be any cars passing by." Zhu Baoqian urged.
Aunt Su looked at Zhu Baoqian, and Zhu Baoqian gestured to Aunt Su, asking her to look at Yu Guochao. Today was Mrs. Su's birthday party, and everyone was happy, instead of letting Yu Guochao and his wife cry poor over there, and not letting Yu Guochao and his wife threaten others.
"Doesn't your future cousin's husband's family have a car?" Mrs. Yu asked.
Help, Zhu Baoqian was thinking how could Yu Dasao say such shameless words. If Yu Dasao had not threatened Su Xueqing to find a job for her before, she would have arranged a car without Yu Dasao saying anything. But now, Yu Dasao and his wife have done such an excessive thing, and now they still have the face to talk about the car. This is like slapping someone in the face, and they still want people to thank them and help them.
"The car has gone for maintenance." Su Xueqing said.
Ning Yanjing couldn't say this, so Su Xueqing said it directly. Of course, this was false. Su Xueqing simply didn't want to please Yu Dasao, even if Su Xiao's aunt was beside her, it would be the same. Su Xueqing was not afraid of what Su's father and mother said about her. If her parents said anything about her, she would turn a deaf ear to them.
"Why do we have to carry out maintenance today?" said Mrs. Yu.
"We can just walk here." Su Xueqing said, "We're not going far today."
"It's okay, it's okay. We have a car to go back. If there is no bus, we can take a taxi back." Zhu Baoqian said.
Zhu Baoqian and Yu Jiachao are both smart people, and they don't want to offend Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing.
"Gone, gone." Yu Jiachao went to support Yu Guochao.
"Uncle..." Yu Guochao wanted to speak.
"Brother, let's go back." Yu Jiachao said.
Uncle Su didn't say anything, he just followed. Aunt Su was a little embarrassed, wondering why her eldest son was so drunk.
After the Yu family left, Su's mother looked at Su Xueqing.
"This car needs to be inspected every year." Su Xueqing said.
Of course, Su's mother knew what Su Xueqing meant, and she also knew that Ning Yanjing's car was probably not inspected today.
"There's nothing else to do today, so it's just right." Ning Yanjing added.
"It's time for an overhaul." Su's mother said, "When you are free, you can also give the driver a holiday."
Su's mother reminded Su Xueqing that she could give other reasons next time, and she didn't have to give the same reason all the time. But even if she gave the same reason, no one could do anything to Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing, because the car itself didn't belong to the Su family or the Yu family.
"Would you like to eat cake?" Old Mrs. Su asked Su Xueqing. There was still a part of the big cake at home, and there were also many small boxes of cakes. "Take some back to eat."
"No." Su Xueqing refused, "Grandma, these cakes are originally for you to eat. Put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. They can be kept for two or three days. They won't go bad all of a sudden. In this weather, they won't go bad even if they are not kept in the refrigerator."
Old Madam Su did not say anything wrong about Su Xueqing. She took Su Xueqing's hand and patted it twice gently. She leaned close to Su Xueqing's ear and said, "Next time, ignore your eldest cousin and his wife. They are all fools."
"Grandma." Su Xueqing knew that Old Lady Su was always clear-headed. When she heard what her grandma said, a smile appeared on her face, and she smiled even happier. "Grandma, I have a gift... I'll give it to you during the Chinese New Year."
Su Xueqing was so excited that she almost said she would bring it over in two days, but she had already promised her second sister, so she didn't want to argue with her eldest sister at this time.
"Okay." Old Mrs. Su nodded.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing did not help to clean the table, they went back first.
At night, Zhu Baoqian looked at Yu Jiachao who was returning to his room after washing up, and couldn't help but ask, "Did your elder brother get hit in the head? It was grandma's birthday, and he was talking about those shitty things, and you didn't even bother to stop him."
"I tried to stop him, but couldn't." Yu Jiachao said, "Brother drank a little bit of wine and was crazy. He had to say those words. Dad asked me to pull him back, but he couldn't stop me."
"Your father...he didn't really want to hold your elder brother back." Zhu Baoqian said, "He just wanted you to know that he had held your elder brother back."
Zhu Baoqian had been married into the Yu family for some time, and she had long realized that her father-in-law didn't like to deal with those things. He either pretended to do it or asked her mother-in-law to deal with it, and her father-in-law hid perfectly behind them.
"Uncle won't care about these." Yu Jiachao said.
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are both sick." Zhu Baoqian said, "Your eldest sister-in-law even asked Xueqing to find her a job. She is so lazy that she is almost too lazy to ask others to let her work. She also thinks that if she works in her family's company, she won't have to work hard and can go home early to take care of the children. Why doesn't she just ask Xueqing to give her the money?"
Zhu Baoqian has always known that Sister Yu is thick-skinned, but she never thought that Sister Yu could be so thick-skinned. Sister Yu didn't even think about the fact that Amelia Su had a very weak relationship with them. They were not real brothers or sisters, and Amelia Su didn't help Amelia Su too much, so Sister Yu still had the nerve to say those words.
"I was eating at the same table with her, and I wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into," Zhu Baoqian said. "It was as if she had never eaten delicious food in her life. She shoveled everything into her bowl. She also said that my cousin didn't treat her as a sister-in-law. I wished I was deaf and blind so I couldn't hear or see."
Mrs. Yu and her husband saw that some shops were closed today. They were glad that they did not run a breakfast shop, but they were also a little scared. If they had opened a breakfast shop and continued to buy that flour, they would be in big trouble.
When Yu Guochao returned home, he lay on the bed like a puddle of mud. Yu Guochao was in a bad mood. The gifts given to Old Lady Su by others were good, while the gifts given by his family were cheap. Second Aunt Su and the others did not make fun of Yu Guochao, so Yu Guochao himself felt bad.
“Amelia Su is smart, Amelia Su is also smart.” Sister Yu sat next to the bed, “They are all on guard against you…”
Mrs. Yu turned her head and heard Yu Guochao snoring.
"You are useless. They look down on you and don't want to help you." said Mrs. Yu.
Amelia Su packed up her things at Su's house before going back. Amelia Su was in a good mood. Things went smoothly today. Even if Yu Guochao said those words, Amelia Su didn't think it was bad. It was Yu Guochao who was not doing well, not herself.
"I heard that some shops were closed." Amelia Su said, "I was busy with grandma's birthday party today and didn't go out to take a look. I'll take a look tomorrow morning. I know there will be problems. Those things won't kill people, but they are not good. They may upset people's stomachs, or there may be other problems."
Amelia Su was afraid that Wei Dashan would not be able to hold back. She had repeatedly emphasized to Wei Dashan that fortunately those people did not dare to force them to buy. Amelia Su did not report those people. She just did not buy it. If she reported it, others would resent her. She just pretended not to know. Besides, whether there was a problem with the flour was not up to Amelia Su. She should not get involved and let others do whatever they wanted.
"A few days ago, someone had diarrhea and was hospitalized." Wei Dashan said.
The man did not buy breakfast at Amelia Su's breakfast shop, but went to another shop to buy noodles. Amelia Su thought that if the man bought breakfast at her home, he would probably ask for compensation from her home. The man went to the noodle shop to make trouble twice, and there was no sound afterwards. Amelia Su thought that this matter was over, but she didn't expect that a shop was closed, most likely that noodle shop.
"Others forced them to buy, so they bought it." Amelia Su said, "Don't they know whether the things are good or not? If they really use those things, they won't eat them themselves, but will cheat their neighbors."
After Amelia Su and Wei Dashan said a few words, they arrived at their residence. They came back late today and had to rest early because they had to continue running the breakfast shop tomorrow morning.
On the other side, Second Aunt Su was in Old Lady Su's room. Second Aunt Su asked, "Do Guochao and his wife often do this?"
