Su Ming sat up. "How am I supposed to manage him? Su Chenhao is already a grown man, he's 25 years old. How am I supposed to manage him?"
Even if my older brother were alive, he couldn't control him! That kid's got a stubborn streak! Yesterday I smelled meat outside his house. It's all your fault for falling out with him, otherwise I would have gone in for a meal.
"What? The smell of meat? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ding Guizhi pressed.
Su Ming pointed to his nose and said, "You know I have a nose that's better than a dog's. I can't find any food hidden in the house."
"His family must have eaten meat. It's all your fault for ruining our relationship; otherwise, I could have gone to their house and asked them for a piece of meat."
Ding Guizhi thought about how her husband's nose was indeed very sensitive; he could find anything hidden in the house before. Thinking about how her two brothers were eating meat at home while her family hadn't seen any meat for more than half a year, she became even angrier.
"Those two ingrates won't even give us a piece of meat. They really are ungrateful wretches."
"You don't know, I told them his dad was adopted. Su Chenhao glared at me and almost punched me. Why doesn't God take him away?"
Su Ming hurriedly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), "Why did you tell him so quickly? Can we really manage with just Uncle Si alone?"
You have to understand that most of the elderly people in the village have passed away; if you don't have convincing arguments, no one will believe you!
"Having Fourth Uncle is enough; we can't bribe anyone else!"
"Since we've already fallen out, let's make a big scene and see who's really embarrassed then!" Ding Guizhi said, then poured herself a glass of water and drank it down, finally calming down.
Su Ming didn't have any better options. Since he had already spoken, he could only grit his teeth and continue. Hopefully, nothing went wrong...
the next day.
The Qiao family got up even earlier than yesterday. At four o'clock, everyone was up except for the children.
As Qiao Dashan drank the porridge in his bowl, he sighed, "The work still has half a month to go. If I wasn't worried about not getting paid, I would really like to go to town with you to do business."
In just a few days, his younger sister earned several dozen yuan, which made him, a grown man, feel ashamed of himself. At the same time, he longed to go to town to do business, but unfortunately, he hadn't finished his work, so he could only dream about it.
Qiao Xiaoni smiled, "Big brother, you can help us once you're done with your work. There's plenty of work waiting for you!"
Qiao Dashan was amused and laughed heartily. The burden of life felt lighter, and his face was full of smiles these past few days. When his coworkers asked him what had happened, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
Su Chenhao put down his chopsticks, thinking about what had happened yesterday. He knew he had to find a time to resolve this as soon as possible.
"I have something to take care of tomorrow and can't come to help."
Qiao Xiaoni could tell from his pale face that something serious had happened.
"Is there anything wrong that you need our help with?"
Su Chenhao shook his head, "I don't need your help for now."
Su Chenqiu rolled his eyes and looked at Qiao Xiaoni with a pitiful expression, saying,
"Sister, we're about to become homeless. Brother has to go and deal with this."
"What did you say?" Qiao Xiaoni exclaimed, then asked in a calmer tone, "What exactly happened to you?"
Su Chenhao glanced at his younger brother. This kid was definitely doing it on purpose. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but admire his shrewdness despite his young age.
