"High level of ideological awareness." The land is vast, but the wife is the most important.
"That's all?" Committee Member Hu asked curiously.
Su Yu nodded, "That's all."
"You don't even care about appearance?"
Su Yu smiled and shook her head, "I don't care." Anyway, ugly people won't even be considered.
Committee Member Hu patted his chest and said, "Su, let me tell you, with your qualifications, you'll find plenty of opportunities. Don't be discouraged; you'll definitely find someone better in the future!" It's good that Su still has ambition; the worst thing is for her to lose all hope. I hope she doesn't do anything foolish then.
Back in the office, the colleagues in the union office were all looking at them.
Committee Member Zhang wanted to ask more, but Committee Member Hu secretly pointed at Su Yu and then shook his head. Seeing this, the others understood and didn't ask any further questions.
Su Yu calmly picked up the notebook and said, "I'll go and double-check the details of Competition No. 1 with the production department."
He finished and left.
As soon as she left, the office immediately started buzzing with chatter.
When Su Yu returned half an hour later, the way people in the office looked at her was different—sympathy, pity, worry, and even some resentment.
But nobody did have that.
Su Yu thought to herself, "Now I'm finally a single lady."
When the family returned home that evening, Liu Mei kept glancing at her sister-in-law, wondering how she was doing. She had heard a little about what happened that afternoon, but wasn't worried about being seen, so she didn't inquire. She only knew that Wu Guozhi had written a letter of apology, praising her sister-in-law to the skies.
For this reason alone, Liu Mei admired her sister-in-law to the point of complete awe.
She's done all sorts of bad things and still gets the credit; that's the kind of thing only a sister-in-law can do.
"Everyone's back now. I have something to tell you all."
Su Yu looked at everyone seriously.
The family quickly sat down, waiting for her to speak.
This is a habit our whole family has developed now: what my sister says is important, and we have to listen carefully.
Su Yu looked around, then sighed heavily, "I broke up with him."
"..." What does that mean? The whole family looked at each other in bewilderment, except for Liu Mei, who was stunned.
“That’s right, I’ve parted ways with Comrade Wu Guozhi. From now on, I have absolutely no relationship with him.”
She pulled out some money. "This money is compensation for the loss of my youth over the past five years. Liu Mei even went so far as to ask for it! It's forty-two yuan in total, for five years! Is that all your sister's youth is worth?"
"Sis, I'm going to beat that bastard up!" Su Zhi stood up excitedly, and Su Dazhi quickly followed.
"Sit down, all of you!"
"Sister, is Wu Guozhi treating you badly...?" Su Zhi asked angrily.
Su Yu sighed, "That's all in the past. I actually had a feeling about it a long time ago, but I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't tell you."
Liu Mei: "..." Sister, why are you doing this again now?
Su Yu said, "Wu Guozhi has found a younger and prettier female comrade, so he didn't take a liking to your sister. He has always looked down on me, thinking I'm not good-looking, so when he saw a younger female comrade, he changed his mind."
These words convey a sense of grievance and bitterness.
"...Sister, you're actually pretty," Su Lin comforted her.
Su Yu pointed to her clothes, "Do they look good? Do they look good? Not at all! I know my place. All these years, for this family, for you all, I've scrimped and saved on food and clothes. And in the end, I was outshone by a woman who's younger than me but inferior in every way. Why? Because she was willing to wear pretty clothes and dress up! It's a disgrace, an absolute disgrace! So from now on, I've decided to turn over a new leaf and dress more smartly every day. I'll never let those young girls outshine me again. I can't bring shame to the Su family anymore. I can't let people think I'm an unwanted old maid..."
Tears began to flow.
"sister……"
The three siblings looked at their eldest sister with red, guilty eyes. Especially Su Lin, who had worn the most new clothes over the years. If their sister had worn all those new clothes, she might have been married long ago.
"Sister, I'll work hard to earn money so you can dress up nicely. No one will be able to compare to you in the future," Su Zhi said, wiping away his tears.
Su Dazhi nodded with red eyes and said, "Sister, I've saved some good fabric for you, so you can make lots of new clothes."
"Sister, I'll never wear new clothes again..." Su Lin's face was covered in tears.
Su Yu looked at her younger siblings with emotion, then at Liu Mei.
Liu Mei was also on the verge of tears. "Sister, I'll save you some cloth coupons."
