Remember this site in one second: [67♂, Thank you for your support].
Unfortunately, Su Yu, the eldest son of the Su family, is a disappointment and can't control his younger siblings. The other two are also unemployed and rely on their family for support.
If the family really splits up, how will this whole family survive?
"Su Yu, is your family still making trouble?"
Aunt Liu, who lives in the same courtyard, asked.
Aunt Liu's husband is Liu Mei's uncle, and Aunt Liu also stirred up trouble during this family division.
Everyone else in the compound knew this, and while brushing their teeth, they all exchanged glances with Su Yu.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "If it were me, a married person should have their own place. If your parents were still here, they would help Dazhi and his wife make arrangements. As the eldest sister, you should be considerate of your younger siblings. This can't go on like this."
Su Yu resisted rolling her eyes. This woman was truly a fool; what did she mean by "elder sister is mother"? This was just bullying an honest person. She sighed, "Aunt Liu, don't be like that. When my parents first passed away, Dazhi was so sensible, wanting to be the pillar of the family, helping to raise his younger siblings. Who knew he'd forget his sixth mother after getting married? So, when choosing a wife, you have to consider her character. If you marry a woman with bad character, you'll become heartless too. How do your wife's family raise their daughter? Don't let it be a case of 'like father, like son,' or 'the son of a mouse knows how to dig holes.'"
"Pfft—"
Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but laugh, even spitting toothpaste and saliva into their mouth.
Looking at Aunt Liu, her face had already turned blue with anger.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Su Yu, those are really harsh words. How did you become so mean?"
Su Yu said, "The truth is never pleasant to hear. I'm not being mean, but I just happened to have such a mean sister-in-law. Otherwise, my sister-in-law would be sleeping on the streets. Aunt Liu, if you have the chance, you should try to persuade Liu Mei. Otherwise, all the other wives in this compound will follow suit."
The others immediately looked rather grim.
Especially for older families with sons who have gotten married, there's a lot of anxiety. What if things really turn out badly in the Su family? Will their own wives also have second thoughts?
Which couple wouldn't want to have their own private room?
Ignoring Aunt Liu's angry grimaces, Su Yu sighed and carried the basin home. On the way, she encountered members of the Su family coming to wash up. Seeing her, they didn't even greet her; it was clear they were sulking.
Su Yu ignored them; in her opinion, these guys just needed to be taught a lesson.
Su Yu supported her three younger siblings on her own. Although Su Dazhi later got a job, he started dating Liu Mei right after starting work, and all his salary went to Liu's family. Su Yu was the one who did all the work for the wedding, paying for everything. In the end, he didn't appreciate his older sister's kindness and listened to his wife's instigation to want to separate from the family.
As for the latter two, they are typical spoiled brats. Su Zhi is always refusing to study and running wild everywhere. His older sister tries to control him, but he complains that his family is interfering too much. As for Su Lin, she is even more ignorant, acting as if she doesn't know the hardships of ordinary people. She compares herself with others in terms of food and clothing, and if her family doesn't provide it, she goes on a hunger strike.
She had always assumed she could go back, so she had let things take their course and ignored them. After all, once she left, these matters were the original owner's own business, and she wasn't going to bother with them.
But things are different now. She's now known as Sister Su.
Some things, if they need to be addressed, must be addressed.
As for kicking these people out, Su Yu had no intention of doing so. They were all a source of labor. In a pinch, they could even guard the house.
After all, no matter what era it is, there is still a big difference between a single woman and a married woman.
Back home, Su Yu began to examine all her belongings. After all, to continue living in this place, she needed to ensure she was well-fed and comfortable.
We've already bought grain this month, and the other three of us even used our ration coupons to eat out, so we're almost out of coupons—only three jin (1.5 kg) left. Even if we eat at the canteen, it won't be enough for several meals. It's only the middle of the month; we can't afford to starve just to have a decent meal.
So until I get my paycheck, I can no longer eat well in the cafeteria.
Looking at the food storage cabinet, there were still ten jin of rice and thirty jin of millet left, along with some wheat bran and cornmeal. This was the family's supply for the month.
There were still two ounces of fatty meat in the basket, a New Year's supply. It had been cured and kept as preserved meat. The original owner would usually slice a few pieces and add them to the dishes as oil to supplement the nutrition of her younger siblings. This was the most precious thing for the whole family.
Looking at these things, Su Yu's heart began to sink again.
No matter how much she tried to comfort herself, she couldn't change the fact that this era was one of scarcity, let alone the fact that her own family was still so poor.
She rubbed her face dejectedly, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in the pot, along with a few slices of meat, preparing to make herself breakfast.
As a result, the wood-burning stove wouldn't start burning properly, and the smoke hurt my eyes.
Good heavens, how are we supposed to live like this?
She rubbed her eyes, looking utterly hopeless. No, she had to get these laborers trained right away.
"Big sister, why are you crying? Is the food ready?"
Su Zhi came over. He was the first to finish washing up and rushed back for breakfast. Every time his older sister got up, the first thing she did was make breakfast. Sure enough, when he got back, he saw his older sister lighting the stove, but to his surprise, she started wiping away tears. He was starving, why was his older sister crying? Why wasn't she cooking?
