The money should be saved for my sister, not for my wife. Sister, my brother doesn't have a single penny in his pocket, not even enough for bus fare. It's so embarrassing.
Su Yu looked at him excitedly, "Zhi, I'm so happy. I don't care about your money, but your trust and reliance warm my heart. I knew Zhi wasn't one of those ungrateful people. Zhi, don't worry, I'll find you a job as soon as possible so you can live the life you want."
Su Zhi immediately beamed and said, "Sister, you're my own sister. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? Unlike my older brother, I'd rather trust outsiders than you."
Just look at how my sister-in-law is; she's not as reliable as my older sister.
Anyway, he had never seen a wife who was as exhausted as his eldest sister, working herself to the bone for the sake of the family.
After they finished chatting, Su Zhi quickly went to wash the dishes.
Su Yu was about to get out of bed, but before she could, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the floor. Su Zhi couldn't bear to see this, so he quickly grabbed his rice bowl and ran off. Su Yu then comfortably lay on the bed, eating sunflower seeds.
As Su Zhigang stepped out, he ran into Su Dazhi, who was coming from the area.
He glared fiercely at Su Dazhi. "Big brother, you're not here to ask Big Sister to divide the family property, are you? She's in this state; if you're still thinking about taking the house, you're heartless." Anyone who wants to take the house from him is an enemy!
Su Dazhi had no idea what Su Zhi was thinking. He thought Su Zhi was upset because he was causing trouble for the family division and making his older sister unhappy. That's why Su Dazhi was arguing with him. He felt extremely sad. He felt that even the usually immature Zhi knew how to care for and understand his older sister better than he did. He looked at himself, already old, and felt that his good intentions had been taken for granted, breaking the heart of the person who truly cared about him.
He didn't even glance at Su Zhi, and went into the ward with his head down.
Seeing him enter the ward, Su Zhi quickly took the bowls and chopsticks to wash them, preparing to return to the ward as soon as possible to fight back. His older sister was sick right now; he didn't want to lose to his older brother, or he'd lose his house.
Inside the room, Su Yu was cracking sunflower seeds when she saw Su Dazhi return. She paused for a moment, then peeled the seeds and put the kernels into a box beside her. "Dazhi's here. I'm peeling sunflower seeds for him. He's so thoughtful. As soon as he got home from school and found out I was sick, he rushed over to see me and take care of me. He even bought me meat buns and sunflower seeds."
Su Dazhi felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
"Please sit down. What are you doing here so late? You have to go to work tomorrow. I'll take care of you, so don't worry about me."
Su Dazhi felt as if he had been stabbed again. He knew in his heart that he hadn't come to take care of his older sister; he had come to ask her for food.
I was about to ask my older sister about locking the cabinet, but now I can't get a single question out.
In his state, how could he possibly have the nerve to ask his older sister for food?
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Suddenly, Su Dazhi's stomach rumbled. He immediately blushed and clutched his stomach.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and popped a sunflower seed into her mouth. Oh dear, so you haven't had dinner yet.
At this hour, we should have been eating by now, so if we haven't eaten yet, there must be something wrong at home. Luckily, I found a lock and locked the cabinets when I left this morning.
She was secretly pleased, but her face showed concern as she said, "Dazhi, what's wrong with your stomach? Is it upset? Should we see a doctor? Don't eat anything wrong."
Su Dazhi was on the verge of tears. He hadn't eaten anything wrong; he hadn't eaten at all.
Su Yu said, "What did you and Liu Mei eat tonight? It wasn't me. She's still arguing about separating the household. I can't take good care of you when I'm not home. What will you do if you get an upset stomach after we really separate? I should have known better than to lock the closet. That way you could still eat something cooked at home. Sigh, I did all this to show Liu Mei not to separate the household, so I could keep taking care of you. But seeing you like this now, I'm really worried."
Su Dazhi swallowed hard, feeling extremely frustrated. His older sister was right; what was the point of dividing the family property? He was already starving when his sister wasn't home; if they divided the property, Liu Mei would only care about herself, and he would starve to death.
At this moment, Su Dazhi suddenly realized that the happy married life he had experienced with Liu Mei was not realistic at all.
If we can't even get by now, what can we expect in the future?
"Sister, I, I..." Su Dazhi was too upset to speak. He was so hungry, so very hungry. But he was too ashamed to ask his sister for food.
What if my sister finds out he hasn't eaten yet? He'll lose face like that. He's making a scene about dividing the family property, but he's starving and coming to my sister for food.
He felt ashamed just thinking about it.
"Big brother, why are you still here? What else do you want to talk to big sister about?"
Su Zhi walked in carrying an empty bowl, staring intently at Su Dazhi.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Zhi, your brother isn't feeling well. He ate something bad. Take him to see a doctor."
"What are you looking at? He can't possibly get an upset stomach. There's clearly food out there. Why didn't you think to bring him some?" Su Zhi said angrily.
He doesn't even have any savings left!
In front of Su Zhi, Su Dazhi was even more embarrassed to ask Su Yu for food, so he stood up and said, "Sister, I, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Then he quickly ran out.
Su Yu sighed and stuffed the peeled melon seeds into her mouth.
She plans to stay in the hospital for another two days before being discharged, treating it as a vacation for herself.
Back home, Su Lin had drunk a lot of water and fell asleep, feeling dizzy and lightheaded from hunger.
Liu Mei hadn't slept at all, waiting for Su Dazhi to come home. Seeing Su Dazhi enter the house, she said, "Why are you only coming back now? Didn't you get the key? Your older sister is really something, why did she lock it?"
