That evening, Su Yu returned home wearing new clothes and shoes, dazzling all the neighbors in the compound.
Who is this? Did they come to the wrong place?
Aunt Tian was helping her grandson urinate when she almost dropped him. Luckily, the child held on firmly and didn't fall on his bottom.
"Su, did you buy clothes?"
"Yes, my dear Zhizhi is very good to me. He lets me buy more clothes."
Aunt Li was preparing to cook, but instead of cooking, she stared at her clothes, saying, "You look so smart, they must be expensive."
Su Yu sighed, "You bet it, it breaks my heart. I haven't bought such nice clothes in all these years. Actually, I could wear the clothes my mom used to buy for another twenty years."
Neighbor Sister Lin returned with washed vegetables and looked her up and down. "Young girls should dress smartly. Look at Su Yu, she looks like a completely different person now that she's dressed like this. I think she looks good. She should dress like this from now on."
Su Yu laughed, "I usually can't bear to wear it, so I only wear it to work when I can. After all, I'm an employee. I can't embarrass the company."
Anyway, I'm at work most of the time.
"Why dress so smartly? You look like a vixen." Aunt Liu's eyes reddened, her mouth twisting in a grimace. She sensed something was off lately; the Liu family's life seemed to have changed. Even Liu Mei, that spineless girl, chickened out. The Su family suddenly had three workers. Who knew what stroke of luck they'd struck?
Su Yu glanced at her and said, "Aunt Liu, you have no idea what you're talking about. This is a Lenin suit. All the cadres wear it. You're too narrow-minded. You should raise your standards. You're from the provincial capital, after all. Don't be inferior to us farmers."
"..."
After greeting the people in the courtyard, Su Yu walked home with a smile on her face.
The family members had already heard the commotion and were waiting at the door. When they saw their eldest sister arrive, they all stood up straight.
Su Yu smiled and said, "What are you standing there for? Come inside."
Seeing her smile, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Alright, alright, eldest sister seems to be in a good mood.
Once inside, Su Zhi immediately started flattering her, "Sis, you look really smart in those clothes."
Su Yu said with a proud look, "Of course, I have a good foundation, it's just that you guys held me back. If I had dressed up earlier, I would have found a good partner and be living a good life by now, instead of living a hard life with you guys."
"..."
She crossed her legs, shook her head and sighed, "You guys don't know, Comrade Fang bought several sets of clothes today. I only bought two!"
"..." Two sets are not enough?
Su Dazhi said honestly, "Sister, two sets are enough."
Su Yu's smile immediately turned cold, her face darkening. "What's wrong? You asked me to buy clothes yesterday, and now you're complaining that I bought too many? Fang's family doesn't buy her too many clothes either. We're all family, so why are you all so different?"
The whole family shuddered.
"I'm so old and still not married, and you don't even care about me. How many years of good life do I have? Even after I get married, I'll just be a slave to my parents. If I can't even have a good life at my parents' home, what's the point of my life? You heartless ingrates!"
Su Zhi quickly flattered her and pledged his loyalty, saying, "Sis, I support you buying it. I don't know what Big Brother is thinking."
Su Dazhi immediately became anxious, "...Sister, I didn't buy as much as you. If it's not enough, I'll get more material and make you a few more."
"It's good that you know. This time, I suffered such a great humiliation because of you! My heart has been wounded, and now I have to dress up to save face for you. My life has really been miserable enough."
Su Yu said angrily. If she hadn't come here for no reason, she could buy anything she wanted right now.
"Sis, sis, don't be angry. I was wrong. You can buy whatever you want, I'll definitely support you wholeheartedly."
Su Dazhi quickly replied.
"Brother, you're just too quiet. Keep it down from now on," Su Zhi added fuel to the fire. He was, after all, a staunch supporter of his sister. Whatever she said went. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be living such a good life now.
"Sis, have some water, calm down." Su Lin knew Su Yu's habit and knew she would want water when she got back, so she quickly poured her some.
Su Yu finally calmed down and decided to let them off the hook, so as not to add to their psychological burden.
As she drank her water, she said with satisfaction, "Our Lin is so good. From now on, all my clothes will be yours to wear. They'll all be new; I'll wear them for a year or two and then give them to you." She wanted to wear new clothes every year.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei quickly came over and said, "Sister, is there anything else you need? I'll get it for you."
"What are you doing? Hurry up and boil some water, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Su Yu frowned.
Su Lin quickly turned around and went out. "Sister, I'm going to boil water. I'm in charge of the stove. Nobody is allowed to touch it."
Liu Mei: "..." These days, you can't even get a job if you're scrambling to do it.
The next morning, Su Yu went to the factory wearing her leather shoes and new clothes.
Besides the workshop workers, office workers in the factory are not required to wear uniforms. Su Yu didn't have any decent clothes before, so she could only make do with the uniform. Now that she has new clothes, she doesn't want to make herself uncomfortable.
Grandpa Zhang, who was guarding the factory gate, stared wide-eyed at Su Yu, who had changed her clothes. "Officer Su, you bought new clothes? I've never seen you dressed so smartly before."
"Yes, it's been over ten years, and we're finally wearing new clothes."
Grandpa Zhang realized he had touched on Su Yu's painful past, so he quickly gave a thumbs up. "Looks good, looks energetic. You should have dressed like this a long time ago."
