At nine o'clock in the evening, when all the outsiders had left, Su Yan took Su Lang to the warehouse.
Looking at the big cardboard boxes, Su Lang was curious about what was inside and opened them one by one.
"Hey, sister, are these the goods you brought back? This radio is obviously an imported brand, and these very popular tapes, where did you get them? Is that cardboard box full of watches? Hey, digital watches, frog glasses..."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows, "Second brother, are you satisfied?"
Once he helps his sister sell all the goods in the house, he won't need to spend any money to buy a 200-square-meter shop.
Su Lang flattered, "Sister, I know you're very busy. How about I help you sell these goods?"
"Yes, there are watches, clothes and silk flowers in the next room. I'm just worried you won't be able to handle them all."
"Sister, please set the price for the goods. I can't handle it alone, but I have friends who I can sell the goods to wholesale."
Su Yan really didn't have that much time to sell these goods. She had to supply her own store and go to the countryside to see how the greenhouse was being built.
After buying so many seeds, she has to go back to her hometown to plant flowers and medicinal herbs. The fish pond will be dug before summer, and she has to find time to raise turtle fry in the space. Before, she was afraid that the pond would be overcrowded with turtles, so she fed the extra turtle eggs to ducks every year. Now that she wants to raise ducks, she has to find a way to hatch all the turtle eggs.
Su Yan was busy every day and was dizzy for several months. On August 2, she just came back from the countryside.
Jiang Lingling came to her and said, "Yanyan, you weren't home these past two days, and Rourou didn't come back until almost nine o'clock in the evening."
When Su Yan went to the countryside to work, she let Jiang Lingling live at home. The child's father was busy and didn't come back during this period. The child was still young, so an adult had to stay at home to look after him.
When Su Yan heard that her daughter would be back at nine in the evening, she felt something was wrong. "Rou Rou didn't come back until nine in the evening. Where did she go?"
"I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me! By the way, Yanyan, Lu Jin's eldest daughter, Lu Yilan, has been coming to play with Rourou a lot lately.
That child is two months older than Yiming and started school a year later. Yiming's grades were good and he skipped a grade, but that child spent two years in fifth grade and another two years in second grade before getting into high school. I wonder if she can get into a junior college this time.
Su Yan frowned. Lu Yilan had indeed been held back twice. If Yiming hadn't given her extra lessons before, she would probably have been held back more than twice.
This child has never been taken care of by her biological mother since she was a child. Not only is she a little willful, but she is also very sensitive. She doesn't know whether she can pass the college entrance examination this time.
But why did she ask Rourou to go out and play, and why did she come back so late? She needed to have a good talk with her daughter.
"Mom, apart from his poor grades, the child is quite sensitive and obedient."
"Yan Yan, I once saw Rou Rou giving Lu Yilan money. I didn't say anything about it because it was food. Rou Rou gave Lu Yilan ten yuan at a time."
"Why did Rourou give her money?"
"I don't know that either."
After dinner, Su Yan called Lu Yirou to her room and said, "Rou Rou, Mom has been busy lately and has no time to take care of you. Mom will apologize to you first."
"Mom, did grandma say something to you?"
Su Yan looked up at her daughter, who was about the same height as her, and asked with a smile, "Oh? What did grandma say?"
"Mom, I'm sorry..."
"Sorry? Rourou, tell me what you did to make me feel sorry for her?"
Lu Yirou's eyes wandered around, and she said with a guilty conscience, "Mom, Sister Lanlan came to borrow money from me several times and even took me to the ice skating rink."
Su Yan asked, "Why did she borrow the money? How much did you lend her?"
"The first time I borrowed twenty dollars, the second time I borrowed thirty dollars, and the third time I borrowed thirty dollars as well."
Everyone in the Lu family knew that Su Yan gave the children's New Year's money to keep for themselves. As long as they didn't spend it indiscriminately, they could use the money freely.
Lu Yiru has always been obedient. She saved most of the money except for buying books and occasional snacks. How could she lend Lu Yilan so much money at once?
Elementary school is now a five-year system, while middle school and high school are both two-year systems. She had only just finished her second year of junior high and would be a freshman in high school next semester. She wasn't even in the same school as Lu Yilan, and they rarely played together, so there was no reason for him to lend her so much money.
And ice skating? When did her daughter start learning to skate?
"Rou Rou, tell me why you lent Lan Lan so much money, and what about the ice skating thing?"
"Mom, I'm going to tell you a secret. Sister Lanlan has a boyfriend. You must not tell grandma and second uncle."
"Your cousin just finished the college entrance examination, how come she already has a boyfriend?"
"Although Sister Lanlan just took the college entrance examination, she is already seventeen years old. Didn't Mom marry Dad at eighteen? Sister Lanlan's boyfriend is a sophomore, and he is one year older than Sister Lanlan."
"Have you met her boyfriend?"
"I've seen him. He's very polite and even took us to the skating rink."
It’s none of her business whether Lu Yilan has a boyfriend, but she has to intervene if she borrows money from Rourou and takes Rourou ice skating.
Su Yan suppressed her anger and asked softly, "Rou Rou, do you like ice skating?"
"I like it. Sister Lanlan said that my sense of balance is very good when I learn to dance, so she took me to the ice skating rink. I thought it was very interesting."
"Why are you going ice skating tonight?"
"I go there during the day after finishing my hobby classes. I learned to skate last winter, and now I can even drive a locomotive."
Seeing her daughter talking so happily, Su Yan gritted her teeth. It turned out that her daughter was taken out to play by Lu Yilan last winter. As a mother, she didn't even notice it. She thought that her daughter had finished her interest class honestly and went to the Lu family courtyard to visit her grandparents. Who knew that her daughter actually went out to play with Lu Yilan.
She had never hit her children since they were over three years old. Seeing her daughter talking so excitedly as if being able to skate was a big deal, Su Yan felt like hitting her daughter.
"Your second and third brothers didn't go to play with you guys, did they?"
"My brothers are so boring. My third brother always challenges his classmates to spar with him when practicing martial arts, and sometimes takes them to climb the Great Wall. My second brother either practices calligraphy or goes to the library."
Su Yan never expected that her daughter, who was so gentle, quiet and kind, not only liked ice skating but was also a little rebellious.
They say that puberty starts to rebel at the age of twelve or thirteen. My two sons are relatively well behaved, so why is my daughter rebelling too? This is terrible. I need to talk her down.
"Rou Rou, do you really admire your sister Lan Lan? What do you admire about her?"
"I think she's so cool. She can skate and is very good at teasing people. She's already had three boyfriends before she's even 18. That's amazing!"
After hearing what Lu Yiru said, Su Yan's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, she actually neglected her children's education in order to make money.
