Chapter 150 The Su Family's Top Relatives
On the fifth day of National Day, Zhao Xiaojing resumed the supply of pork trotter rice.
During this time, Zhao Xiaojing and the students had already decided on a sales model in the group. They would follow the traditional fried skewers sales method, with a chat in the group the day before. Then, at 12 noon and 6 pm the next day, Zhao Xiaojing would ride her bike to the side gate of the school, and students would pick them up.
Considering that there are no stalls now and side dishes and rice cannot be added by oneself, Zhao Xiaojing simply canceled the side dishes and gave each meal a serving of mung bean and milk smoothie.
Afraid that students would not know the value of mung bean and milk smoothie because they had never tried it, Zhao Xiaojing specially attached an explanation. She would try to serve the mung bean and milk smoothie for three days first. If students were not satisfied later, she would switch to a small menu and have it packed separately. If they did not like the smoothie in the first three days, they could get a 5 yuan refund on the spot for just one sip of the smoothie.
At 12:30 p.m., all eighty orders of pork trotter rice were picked up. Zhao Xiaojing smiled as the vendors stared at her with wide eyes, then rode away with a swagger under their gnashing gazes.
Most students opened the mung bean shaved ice to try it as soon as they got the pork trotter rice, and were prepared to refund the money immediately if it didn’t taste good.
However, after drinking it, almost everyone asked if they could buy another one, and the voices that were asking if they could really get a refund just a second ago all disappeared.
When Zhao Xiaojing returned to the kitchen to continue making the sweet soup, she opened the door and saw Su Yuchen in chef's uniform washing the pots.
"Why are you here so early? There are still two days left." Zhao Xiaojing asked in surprise.
Su Yuchen did not tell her family that she had resigned from her job to set up a stall with Zhao Xiaojing, so her vacation at home should be seven days of normal holidays.
It is only noon of the fifth day, which means that she took a bus from home to Yangcheng early this morning, and then hurriedly took a bus from Yangcheng here.
"Don't mention it! I really can't stay here for another minute! I shouldn't have gone back. I should have just been setting up a stall here with you!"
Su Yuchen finished washing the pots and pans, wiped his hands and said with an annoyed look.
"What happened? Did you have a fight with your family? Have you eaten?" Zhao Xiaojing asked with concern.
"I've already eaten, but you don't care. This time I feel like I've been stabbed in the back! Do you remember what I told you about the relative who lives across the street from me and who doesn't get along with me?"
Su Yuchen's home is in Sujia Village below Yangcheng, which is about an hour's drive from Yangcheng. When Zhao Xiaojing was in Yangcheng, she always had to stay at Zhao Xiaojing's place for a night before going back. One reason was to make the commute more convenient, and the other was that she couldn't get angry and complained to Zhao Xiaojing about the awful relative next door to her.
Although Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen's generation adhered to family planning, enforcement in the villages wasn't as strict as in the cities. While IUD insertion was mandatory, many women secretly had their IUDs removed, or had children born in secrecy.
Since they have already had children, it is impossible to force them to have no children, so many families still have two or three children.
Su Yuchen's father is the village party secretary and has to take the lead, so she is the only one in her family who behaves well.
The family next door was her cousin. They flattered her father on the surface and said they would definitely support the work and carry it out well.
He secretly got pregnant, and then said that the old lady in his wife's family was seriously ill, so the wife went back to take care of her. In fact, he secretly hid the baby in the cellar for five or six months, and only showed up when the baby was born.
But the baby had already been born, and there was nothing his father could do except get angry and scold him.
When other people in the village found out, they all talked about her father in private, saying that her father actually knew about it and secretly opened a back door for them. Otherwise, how could he not notice anything when he lived across from each other?
When the relative next door heard about this, in order to show that he had a good relationship with the village party secretary and to be looked up to by the villagers, he spread rumors that it was indeed his father who got the marriage through a backdoor and that the IUD was just a pretense at first.
After hearing this, the villagers became even angrier and mocked her father openly and indirectly. Everyone in the village was affected by her father.
His father was very angry about this. He scolded them and threatened to stop recognizing them as relatives.
As a result, the guy next door started crying and begging his father for forgiveness on his knees. He said weakly that it was all for the child and he was afraid that the child would be looked down upon and discriminated against by others in the future. He said that both his family and Su Yuchen's family had daughters, and they finally had a son. The Su family must inherit the incense, and there must be someone to take over in the future.
Su Yuchen's father was a soft-hearted person to begin with, and after hearing their crying, he became even more annoyed and scolded them lightly, and then let the matter go.
The eldest daughter next door was about the same age as Su Yuchen, so she was his cousin. They had been at odds since childhood, and since the birth of his second son, this cousin had been constantly mocking and taunting Su Yuchen.
At a young age, she started to act sarcastic in front of Su Yuchen, saying that she had a younger brother and that her mother's family would have someone to support her in the future. She also said that Su Yuchen's family would have no descendants and that if she was bullied in the future, she would have to swallow her anger. When Su Yuchen's father passed away, there would not even be anyone to cheer her up or throw pots around.
When the two grew up a little, Su Yuchen's family was better off, and she was the only girl in the family. Her family loved and protected her, and her food, clothing and other expenses were much better than those of her cousin next door.
The cousin was so jealous that she asked Su Yuchen for things, from small things like an eraser to big things like a learning machine or a repeater. If Su Yuchen didn't give them to her, the cousin would steal them and take them for herself.
Once, Su Yuchen's learning machine was missing. Learning machines were rare in the village at that time. After it was lost, everyone searched everywhere for it anxiously. Several classmates were also very anxious, but only his cousin looked strange, and was hesitant with a red face. Su Yuchen went straight to her seat to look for it, and finally found it in the compartment of her schoolbag.
Su Yuchen questioned angrily, but the cousin who was caught got angry and said that it was great that her father was the village party secretary just because she had a lot of money. She grabbed the learning machine and smashed it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Su Yuchen was so angry that he scratched her face. After a fight, his cousin fled home in embarrassment.
Su Yuchen also went home and told his father about this. Just as he was speaking, his cousin's unreasonable mother came and turned the tables, accusing Su Yuchen of beating her daughter and demanding that Su Yuchen's family pay for the medical expenses.
Su Yuchen's father was so angry that he took out the receipt for the learning machine and asked her to pay for the learning machine first, and then he would pay for her medical expenses.
When my cousin's mother saw the price with the receipt, she was shocked. She started to act unreasonable and said that the item was broken and her daughter's face was bruised. She scolded her and said that they could offset each other and she was leaving.
Su Yuchen immediately blocked the door and refused to let her leave. Seeing Su Yuchen's tears, Su Yuchen's father became angry and asked her cousin's mother to compensate her.
When the cousin's mother saw that she was not being able to endure the hardship, her expression changed immediately and she started crying and begging for mercy from Su Yuchen's father. She said that her family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat, and that so much money would cost her life. Then she said that they all had the same surname and they should not mind the children's play.
In short, she just kept crying and complaining about all kinds of grievances, and the tantrum lasted for an hour or so. Su Yuchen's father got a headache watching her, so he took Su Yuchen in his arms and went into the house.
