Chapter 49 Debt Collection from My Mother
When we got back to the Su family, Su He's third sister had already prepared the meal, and Su Li was still making pancakes. Most of them were ready, with only the last few left. Su Xiaodi called out, "Make egg pancakes for the nephews."
Su Qi agreed. The fourth sister ran to get a few eggs. The third sister went to the vegetable garden in the yard to cut a handful of leeks and a handful of green onions. After picking and washing them, she chopped them and put them in a small bowl. She beat three eggs into the bowl, added some salt, stirred it well, and then served it to Su Qi to make egg pancakes.
Su He watched from the side. This was similar to the pancake recipe sold behind the scenes. The difference was that the eggs were not beaten directly on the pancakes, but mixed with chives and scallions and spread on the pancakes. This method saved a lot of eggs.
Three eggs, some chives, and scallions made six egg pancakes. Su Li cut each in half and gave each person half.
The clams I picked up at noon have not spit out the sand yet, so I can't eat them at noon. The anemones also need to be soaked in clean water for two days to spit out all the sand before they can be eaten.
However, the chicken dung snails and dog leg fish they picked up were edible, so they added two more dishes at noon. The chicken dung snails were boiled in water and eaten with soy sauce, and the fish was cut into pieces and braised.
Su He enjoyed the meal quite well.
After dinner, Su Li asked them to take the clams they picked at noon back to the city. If they couldn’t finish them before leaving, they could give them to his second aunt’s house.
Su He nodded. Jin Weiguo checked the time and reminded her, "The bus back home is at 4 o'clock this afternoon. We need to be out at 3 o'clock to wait for it. Otherwise, if we miss the bus, we won't be able to catch the bus to Shanghai tomorrow!"
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Su Li. It was very obvious that he wanted to fulfill his promise to take the money. He never thought that after taking the money from his mother-in-law, he would be able to get it back one day!
But Su He spoke up: "Mom, I have something to tell you." She pretended to be whispering in a room with a girl, and pulled Su He into the bedroom next door.
Su Li: "Girl, what do you want to say to me?"
Su He: "Mom! You are my real mother, right?"
"You stupid girl, you broke your head, and it really damaged your brain? You don't even know I'm your mother?"
"Mom, there are some things I dare not tell you. I was afraid that you would worry, but I really can't help it!" Su He's eyes turned red as he spoke, "Mom, my sequelae are quite serious. If they can't be cured, I'm afraid I won't know when I will be gone! Anyway, I have lived enough, got married, and have three children! But if I die, I'm afraid Weiguo will come back and find a stepmother for the three children. Then our Su family will never get any benefit from him again!"
Su Li: "Hurry up! Pah! Hurry up! Good things work but bad things don't! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Su He couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes any longer, "Mom, I really don't want to leave you! But when the doctor talked to Wei Guo, even though I closed my eyes, I heard everything. Wei Guo just told me that if there are any sequelae, I should go to a big hospital for a checkup! But I know... If I don't treat it well, my future will be over!"
As she spoke, tears began to flow down her face. She realized that she had already shed tears, so she immediately turned her head to the side, opened her eyes wide, raised her head and wiped her eyes.
Xiaobao outside started crying for his mother, and Su He said again: "I don't know if Xiaobao can grow up with his stepmother!"
Su Qi thought about it and felt that if he lost his girlfriend, he would also lose his money for a long time. So he comforted her, "Go to Shanghai and get medical treatment. Don't say those depressing words. The money I sent a few days ago is still there. I also saved some money and I will give it to you."
Su Li opened the box beside the bed, rummaged inside for a long time, and took out a men's blue striped handkerchief. It looked like a handkerchief with a story, wrinkled and old.
Su Qi took the handkerchief, opened a corner, fumbled inside for a long time, pulled out a few big unity notes, counted them, fumbled for a long time again and pulled out a few big unity notes from the handkerchief.
