"Zhi, you are truly my pride. You really persevered and made it through. I knew you were a real man. If I had known you were so capable, I would have let you work sooner. You wouldn't have had to suffer so much in school."
Before Su Zhi could even speak, Su Yu rushed to praise him.
Hearing Su Yu's praise, Su Zhi's aggrieved expression froze instantly. If he didn't move the goods, he would have to go to school.
Going to school or moving goods... it seems like moving goods is better.
Su Yu smiled and wiped his sweat. "How are you? Are you alright?"
"..." How was he supposed to answer that? He couldn't just work an ox to death, could he?
Su Zhi pouted, "Sis, everything's fine."
“Our Zhi is awesome, much better than your older brother. You’re still so young, you might become a leader in our factory someday,” Su Yu said confidently.
Su Zhi couldn't help but smile. Yes, he's still so young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Once he becomes a leader, he won't be so tired.
Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt full of confidence, "Sister, I will definitely do my best."
Su Yu smiled with relief, "I believe in you! By the way, let's hurry back for dinner. I still need to go see the logistics department this afternoon. Your older brother has entrusted me to collect his salary now, so I need to ask when the logistics department will pay salaries and food this month. Your older brother now knows how good I am to him, and he saves all his salary for me; he doesn't even touch it himself. He's finally grown up. I'm just worried about him separating from me now, because he's been so good to me, and I don't know how to refuse him."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi felt somewhat resentful. His older brother, that ingrate, was even trying to take the house from him; he was definitely just trying to get his older sister to support him in taking the house.
"Sister, you can keep my salary too!" Su Zhi said.
Su Yu said, "Keep it for me...aren't you keeping one for yourself?"
"Sis, I really want you to keep it, but I don't want it. I live and eat at home, so it's only right that I keep it for you." Su Zhi said firmly. If his older brother could do it, he could do it too! He couldn't let his older sister be taken away from him by his older brother.
Su Yu was deeply moved. "Okay, Zhi is just like your older brother now, a sensible child. Let's go to the logistics department this afternoon. From now on, I'll collect your and your older brother's salaries. Don't worry, I'll save them for you when you need them for important matters."
It's impossible to use it for major tasks; it's never going to happen in this lifetime.
Su Zhi now completely believes his eldest sister's words. Whatever she says goes. If she can find a job, she'll find one for her instead of continuing her studies. And saving money? Of course, she'll save money too. After all these years, she hasn't asked him for a single penny, and she's still managed to support the family.
The siblings had just stepped out of the factory gate when they saw Su Dazhi standing there.
Seeing that Su Dazhi was waiting for someone, Su Zhi immediately took Su Yu's arm, making it seem like he and Su Yu had a better relationship.
Su Yu looked at Su Dazhi and asked in surprise, "Why aren't you going back?"
"Sister, I'll wait for you to go back together." The main concern was that he wouldn't be able to handle things alone if Liu Mei came back.
Although he wanted Liu Mei to come home, he hoped she would settle down and live a good life. But he also knew that was impossible. Even if Liu Mei came back, she would cause a scene, and he would only feel at ease if she went back with her older sister.
Looking at his cowardly appearance, Su Yu guessed what was going on, but she didn't call him out on it. Even a coward has some dignity.
The three siblings returning home together drew stares from the people in the compound.
Especially when they saw Su Zhi following Su Yu around like a lackey, they were all wide-eyed.
Wow, the Su family siblings have really changed.
The eldest son of the Su family looks more energetic now. The second son doesn't seem so heartless anymore. Even the youngest son, that troublemaker, has become more sensible. He used to cause a ruckus whenever he saw his eldest sister, but now he's so affectionate with her.
Then they looked at Su Lin squatting by the steam rising from the front door of Old Su's house and clicked their tongues in amazement.
Has the Su family finally seen the light?
Su Yu greeted everyone as she walked.
"Uncle Gao, are you eating?"
"Yes, we need to eat our fill to work properly," Grandpa Gao exclaimed. The people in the compound loved a lively atmosphere.
"Sister Li, what are we having for dinner today? It smells delicious."
Sister-in-law Li wiped her hands on her apron, smiling. "Boiling some sweet potatoes," she said.
"Aunt Tian, come to my house for a visit. I heard about what you asked me about last time."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Tian's face immediately lit up with a smile.
“Aunt Liu, you didn’t visit any relatives today? When you go to visit Liu Mei’s family later, tell this married Rao girl not to always run back to her parents’ home. If she doesn’t eat the food from her husband’s family, but goes back to eat the food from her parents’ home, our Su family can’t afford to lose face like that.”
Aunt Liu, who was steaming sweet potato rice, almost grabbed a spatula and started beating someone up. She was also somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Mei. She couldn't even handle the Su family, letting them piss and pee on the Liu family's head.
"Sis, you're back."
When Sanran arrived at the door, Su Lin stood up, looking more obedient than before.
Su Yu gave her a faint smile, "The food was cooked right on time today. I thought I was going to go hungry again when I got back."
Hearing the praise, Su Lin couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Having been neglected and oppressed for days, I suddenly felt satisfied when my older sister praised me.
"Sis, I know you must be tired, so I cooked as soon as you got back."
"Hmm, not bad, keep up the good work." Su Yu said indifferently, then picked up the basin to fetch water to wash her face. She didn't forget to call Su Dazhi and Su Zhi to join her, "Dazhi, go wash your face. You've all worked hard."
