For Su Yu, raising two children was no problem, but supporting two vampires was definitely out of the question—that would cost her a fortune! So, after they graduated, she forced them both to go to work, not allowing them to come home even once a year. If they dared to disobey, their allowances would be cut off! The entire family had to defer to her. She held absolute power in the Su family.
Several years as the head of the household gave her a thorough understanding of what it meant to be in charge. She was determined to be in charge for life. Who knew that the old man seemed to disapprove of her carefree life, and after a good night's sleep, he woke up to find himself back in 1959, and in the body of another person with the same name.
She had no idea what was going on, nor where the original owner of this body had gone. She could only leave her unfamiliar home on instinct and head to work at the factory. The streets and slogans on the walls, so characteristic of the era, made her feel like she was in a dream. She didn't know if her past memories were real or just a dream. But she was certain that what she was experiencing now wasn't a dream. The feeling of hunger was so real… and she was exhausted. The machines in this 1960s textile factory were old, and the temperature in the workshop was extremely high. She almost couldn't bear it all morning.
Ring ring...
The work bell rang again, and the female workers in the break room all stood up, grabbed their water cups, and headed to the workshop.
"Su Yu, time to get to work!"
Someone nudged Su Yu's shoulder.
Su Yu looked up and recognized Zhu Lingling, who was working with her. She smiled and said, "I'm coming right now."
There are many types of jobs in a textile factory, and Su Yu is one of the hardworking textile workers in the workshop.
This kind of work is not only arduous, but there's also no way to get a professional title or a raise. It's like being a spinning top in the factory, the kind that's stuck spinning forever.
Although she retained the original owner's memories and was capable of doing the job, Su Yu didn't plan to do this kind of work long-term. Unless she became the boss, she would prefer an easier job.
After wiping the sweat from her face, Su Yu glanced at the female workers beside her, all chatting away. Few paid her any attention.
She knew that these people weren't rejecting the original owner of this body, but rather because the original owner usually left early and arrived late to take care of her family. In order to please the factory leaders, she generally buried herself in her work and never chatted with the other female workers. As a result, she had very few friends she could truly talk to during her years at the factory.
This original owner of the body truly worked like a slave for his family, making selfless sacrifices.
Su Yu smacked her lips, thinking that even if she were beaten to death, she wouldn't do such a foolish thing. Even if she had to be treated like a slave, it would be her family who would do it for her.
At this moment, two people came out of the Su family's single room, both of them touching their bellies and looking miserable.
Liu Mei, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family who had just married into the family, frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why didn't my eldest sister come back today? She ignored us in the morning and she ignored us at noon."
Her husband, Su Dazhi, lowered his head and said, "I reckon my sister is angry because of our family division."
Liu Mei immediately became unhappy, "Why are you angry? You're already married and you're planning to support your younger siblings. With a house like this, if they live in it, do you even want to raise your own children in the future?"
"But, but this is the house my parents left behind..."
“You’re the eldest son, so it should be left to you. Anyway, when your eldest sister comes back tonight, we’ll have to urge her to move out sometime. She’s getting on in years, and she still doesn’t want to get married. What’s she doing staying at home?”
Seeing that her husband was still keeping his head down and not saying anything, she continued, "And your younger brother and sister are the same. They're so old and still relying on the family to support them. Your sister is thinking about buying a new dress. I only wore this one for my wedding. She's dreaming. Anyway, it's your sister's business if she wants to buy it. Don't even think about giving her a penny."
This time, Su Dazhi nodded in agreement.
Liu Mei didn't think she was heartless. She was fed up with the feeling of a large family crammed into one house. She had finally gotten married and no longer had her in-laws to weigh her down. Of course, she had to find a way to make her life better in the future and give her children a better living environment.
Does having children mean you'll make them suffer too?
As soon as she got home, she saw Su Dazhi and Su Lin sitting in chairs with their eyes closed. The house was dark and quiet.
