Chapter 98 The show is about to begin
That night's dinner was extra sumptuous because there were a few more fish.
The eldest one excitedly talked about what he saw and heard on the big fishing boat, and the second one followed behind and added to his comments at any time.
Seeing that Dali and Erli didn't talk much, Grandpa Su kept persuading them to eat more fish.
Su Yu also said, "Eat the meat on the fish belly. It's a whole piece of meat, without any bones!"
Everyone in the Su family was very welcoming to the little guest, especially Su Hong.
After dinner, not only Uncle Su Wu came, but also Aunt Su Wu, and Uncle and Aunt Er came.
The Su family's main hall was bustling with activity.
The central meaning of this excitement is just one thing: can Su He help other cousins find a stable job?
They all envied Su Xiaodi for finding a good job that was guaranteed to pay the bills.
Second Aunt Su talked about the grandson of the second son of her eighth aunt's mother-in-law: "That child is so pitiful. There are two children in the family. One is old enough to help with cooking, and the other can only walk. A few months ago, when the sea just opened, he was unlucky and fell into the sea. Not even his body was rescued!"
"That's right. That's the open sea. The water is so deep. Even a lead ball would be deformed if it went under! How could a person be left alive if they went under?"
Su He listened to these tragedies, feeling completely helpless and unable to do anything about them. She also couldn't bear to let the children hear them, so she called out to her mother-in-law, "Mom, let's give the kids a bath. They've been running around all day and they stink! They'll be filthy when they get back on the train this morning."
Teacher Wu: "It's just right. After taking a shower, everyone goes to bed. The clothes are washed and dried overnight, so we have clothes to wear tomorrow morning!"
Second Aunt Su saw Su He wanted to leave, so she quickly stopped her: "He girl, I heard that your husband is a capable man and arranged a good job for your brother! Can you talk to your husband and arrange a few more for the old Su family? Your grandfather is so old, and he is proud of it! Now in your generation, only Su Yi has made a name for himself. Several people in the previous and next batches are so envious!"
Su He thought to himself: Su Yi himself turned a disaster into a blessing. On the surface, he was rewarded for reporting, but in reality, he was under surveillance. But even if I told them, these people would not believe it!
She didn't want to argue with the people back home; it was pointless, and anger only made people have more wrinkles. So she said calmly, "Second Aunt, it wasn't my decision. My brother got the job last time because they saw that Su Yi was my girlfriend's brother-in-law. There was only one job available, so they gave it to my brother! Second Aunt, didn't you say before, 'A little difference is worth a mountain'?"
"..." Aunt Su looked at everyone, then at Lao Wu's family's explanation: "Tell me about this girl! When did I ever say that?!"
Su He took the children to take a bath. It was very cold in winter. To take a bath, not only did you have to boil hot water, you also had to prepare a plastic cover, otherwise it would be too cold!
Su Hong and her sisters also stood up to help.
But when Su Hong stood up, she said, "Second Aunt, I remember when I was a kid, one day when I passed by your house, Dayang was eating a cantaloupe, and he deliberately tried to tempt us. My sister saw that I wanted to eat some, so she took me to your house and asked if you had any left. Second Aunt, what did you say? Do you remember?"
Su Hong came out straight after she finished speaking. Fourth sister Su Xiu asked: "Second sister, did Second Aunt really say that? She is so shameless. Last time she came home to borrow corn flour from mother and she didn't return it."
Sure enough, Su Qi heard Su Qi say in the main hall: "By the way, his second aunt, when will you return the two pounds of cornmeal you borrowed to me? My family has so many mouths to feed, and we don't have enough food. When you return it to me, lend me a few more pounds! I want to mix it with the flour, otherwise it really won't be enough!"
Grandpa Su pretended not to hear what his daughters-in-law said, and called his sons to the east wing where he lived to talk.
The children finally took a simple bath and went to bed. The four boys squeezed into one bed, and Xiaobao slept with his mother.
While the children were asleep, Su He found Su Yu and told her about her younger sister Su Hong: "Dad, my older sister said she had a dream that she would be able to take the college entrance examination. She said the dream was so real that she didn't want to get married. She told mother about it, but mother didn't believe it.
"Dad, why don't you just believe her for once? She does a lot of housework anyway, and there are so many people in the family. If she has already mentioned her in-laws, how much will the betrothal gift be? If she doesn't marry someone, she can still live a few more years!"
Su Yu: "He girl, what nonsense are you talking about! This girl has grown up and doesn't want to go to her husband's family, but stays at her parents' home. This family can't hold their heads up in front of others, and they will be criticized! They will say that this family is useless and keeps their daughter at home to do housework!"
Su He: "But she wants to do it herself. She doesn't want to get married. How can you force her to go out?"
Su Yu: "Let's take it one step at a time. If she stays at home, your mother and I will have a lot of work to do. Weaving nets in the team will earn us a lot of work points, and we can earn as much as the betrothal gift in a year! But our family can't afford to lose this person!"
Su He thought to herself, Big sister, I can only help you up to this point!
In fact, Su Hexian knew that even if she didn't help, her elder sister was a person with clear goals and would definitely achieve what she wanted.
I'm about to go back to the provincial capital, and I have no idea what the situation is with that "father-in-law" whom I've never met, whether he is a black or a white man!
My mother-in-law said that even my elder brother has never seen this "grandfather." That's interesting! This is my mother-in-law's business, a serious family matter! She loves to see the mistress get torn apart! Especially the kind who knows the mistress is the mistress! Death is too easy for them!
