Chapter 208
Su Yi sat on the sofa and gave orders like the head of the family.
"Alright, alright, stop it. Now that you're here, let's eat together. It's just a matter of adding two bowls."
"Xiangxiang, add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. We've made a lot of dishes today."
Su Meifang came over and tugged at Qin Xiangxiang's sleeve, saying softly, "Mom~"
"The aunts and sisters from the Wang family will definitely like these preserved fruits."
"Chief of Staff Wang also likes to drink. He must like pork jerky, beef jerky, and crispy fish too!"
Su Changan remembered that before the holiday, Su Jindong got some food from somewhere and distributed some to his brothers in the army, allowing him to bribe a lot of people.
There were even rumors that he was not as favored as Su Jindong in the Su family.
If he takes some to the army after the New Year...
Qin Xiangxiang reluctantly moved her eyes away from the beef jerky, dried plums, pine nuts and other nuts in Li Yueniang's hands.
She knew a little about her daughter's thoughts. Although she was engaged to a member of the Wang family, she was still hovering on the edge of the Wang family's power and had not even stepped into the door of the Wang family's ancestral home!
The Wang family is indeed a wealthy family, but now everything is limited in supply based on tickets and population. As Li Yue Niang said, even if you have money, you can't buy it.
The portions that Li Yue Niang presented could be considered rare and high-end snacks.
It is the best way to please women and young children.
Looking at the dazzling array of bags of packaged snacks in front of her, Qin Xiangxiang forced a stiff smile on her face.
"Since we just happened to meet, let's eat together if you don't mind!"
"Meifang, go to the kitchen and get two more sets of dishes and chopsticks."
Su Jindong waved happily towards Li Yueniang, "Grandma, stop it, come here quickly!"
Li Yue Niang took out everything in the bag, pulled Qin Xiang Xiang to let her look at it all, and then packed them back into the luggage bag one by one.
At the dinner table, Su Jindong, a big shot, was working hard.
Li Yue Niang, however, picked up some food for Su Yi with a loving look on her face. "Eat more! Look at you! It's only been a short while since I last came, and you've become so thin!"
"You're already an adult, but don't expect Xiangxiang to take care of you. Do you think Xiangxiang is still the same Xiangxiang you just got together with? She has to go to work now and has a lot of social engagements. She's always meeting up here or there. How can she have so much time to take care of you?"
"You must know that in this world, it is never as good to rely on yourself as on others!"
"If you want to live longer, you have to learn from me, an old woman!"
Qin Xiangxiang......
She felt that Li Yue Niang was playing tricks on her.
Su Meifang felt the tense atmosphere and also picked up a piece of food for Su Yi.
"That's right, Dad, you can't be picky about food. You're different now than before. Before, you earned over 160 yuan a month and could eat whatever you wanted. Now, just eat whatever you want!"
Su Meifang indirectly implied that Li Yue Niang had taken all of Su Yi's money, greatly reducing Su Yi's quality of life.
Li Yue Niang remained expressionless, "Su Yi, are you losing weight because you're broke?"
"Xiangxiang, don't you still have a salary of 40 or 50 yuan? How can I let you starve?"
Li Yue Niang deliberately emphasized the word "hungry"!
"She can't just leave you at home and eat bran while she goes out and has fun? I don't think she's that kind of person!"
"You two were together because of your soul mates and true love!"
"Even though people outside say that Xiangxiang no longer likes you and is hooking up with other men, I don't believe it at all!"
"We still have children here. Even if you change your mind, you should at least consider the little ones down there!"
Qin Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, her philtrum trembling with anger, "Look at what I said, how can I let him starve!"
"It's just that I've been living a comfortable life for so many years, and in the past six months I haven't even had enough money to smoke!"
"You don't know, his reputation outside isn't very good anymore. He used to borrow money everywhere, but now everyone is avoiding him. It's even hard to borrow money for cigarettes!"
The two of them exchanged moves back and forth.
Li Yue Niang implied that Qin Xiang Xiang did not take good care of her husband, but only cared about herself and did not care about the man's life or death, and spent all day fooling around outside.
Qin Xiangxiang retaliated by saying that Li Yueniang had drained Su Yi's wealth, leaving him without even money to buy cigarettes. If she hadn't been supporting him, he would have starved to death.
It also implies that Li Yue Niang used to drag Su Yi everywhere to borrow money, so now people hide when they see Su Yi, and he can't even borrow money for cigarettes from others!
Only those hard-working mountain bastards can't understand the smell of fireworks!
Li Yue Niang waited for Qin Xiangxiang to finish speaking, then quickly pulled out a large red envelope from her pocket.
"You are already quite old and have suffered for most of your life. It is time for you to enjoy your life."
"This Changqing, although he is not around, he is always thinking about you!"
"He remembers all your kindness to him. This is his filial piety that he asked me to give to you. He said he hopes you will be healthy and live a long life!"
Li Yue Niang threw the red envelope into Su Yi's arms and said meaningfully, "He's not like some ungrateful people who eat and drink the best food for themselves while leaving their old father, who worked so hard to raise them, to eat coarse food at home!"
"Although I, Changqing, am worried about having enough to eat, I still have to tighten my belt and save money..."
Su Yi looked at the red envelope in his hand, his face full of emotion!
Su Changan and Su Meifang felt a little uncomfortable with what Li Yueniang said. They both earned nearly 30 yuan a month now!
Li Yue Niang continued, "You must remember who treated you well, because when you are old..."
Qin Xiangxiang instantly became alert. Li Yue Niang was so kind and always took in money without giving out. Now she was actually giving money to Su Yi?
Is he going to play the emotional card again, or is he coveting the Su family's treasure?
He must want to use Su Changqing's filial piety as an excuse to ask Su Yi to bring Su Changqing and his wife back!
Since she sent them away, she would never let them come back easily.
It would be best if he was worn out to death on the farm and could never come back, so that everything in the Su family would belong to Chang'an!
"Changan, Meifang, didn't you also prepare filial piety for your father?"
"Look, your eldest brother got there first again, you guys should hurry up..."
Su Meifang was stunned, "When did I..."
Su Changan kicked Su Meifang's foot and said, "Yes, Meifang and I have started to make money now. It's time to repay our parents."
"We prepared it long ago. Not only does Dad have it, but Mom does too!"
Su Changan said as he pulled Su Meifang into the room!
Su Meifang shook off her brother's hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to give Dad money. I'll be cheated by that old woman again!"
"Don't forget what Mom said before."
Su Meifang suddenly had an idea. "Are you talking about that thing?"
Qin Xiangxiang has never concealed the background of her two children Su Yi.
And he firmly believed that the Su family, a major trading company in the northwest, could not have donated all their property.
Su Yi must be hiding a huge treasure passed down from his ancestors!
According to legend, the houses that the Su family lived in at that time all had three entrances and three exits. They had many servants and guards in the house.
Just the property donated by Su Yi is enough to make him win first-class merit!
So they must not be outdone by Su Changqing.
What Su Yi wants most at this time must be money!
Adding icing on the cake is never as good as helping someone in need!
The two siblings gritted their teeth and gave Su Yi a red envelope of 66 each!
Li Yue Niang looked at Su Changan and Su Meifang coming out of the room with red envelopes, her eyes shining with excitement.
