"...Okay, by the end of the year, if I haven't found someone here, I'll look for someone from the Su family. Don't worry about it, she's completely devoted to me, she won't run away. No one else will want her but me."
Hearing this, Wu Guozhi couldn't help but feel a little proud. He wasn't that bad; if he were, how could a woman be so devoted to him?
After calming down Old Lady Wu, Wu Guozhi hurried off to his appointment. He needed to get the person back as soon as possible. As for Su Yu, he planned to find an opportunity to have a meal and watch a movie with her after the National Day holiday. He wanted to get the money he had given her back last time.
The National Day holiday was only one day long, and Su Yu didn't go out shopping. There really wasn't much to see these days. It was better to stay home and read. She briefly went through the textbook and then did a few problems from the workbook that Teacher Xu had given her.
Although she felt she had learned quite well, she should still be on the safe side before the exam.
You must strive to learn even better. Even if something is a sure thing, give it your all to ensure you get the best results.
Only those with the best grades will shine the brightest. Only then will they have more opportunities in the future.
There's no way around it, my starting point in life was too low. If I want to do better in the future, I must ensure that every step I take is steady and secure.
Seeing how diligently she studied, Su Lin didn't sit idle either; she made dumplings while reading a book.
She used to think that being in school made her superior to her older sister. Now that her sister is also in school and doing better than her, she feels far inferior. Just like her second brother, her sister benefited from her education, while she lost out…
Su Lin sometimes reminisces about her school days and feels she's been cheated out of her. Back then, she compared herself to others in terms of food, clothes, and accommodations. She just couldn't compete with them in terms of grades.
I didn't compare myself to anyone else in anything, yet my grades are still this good.
She felt she was beginning to understand why her older sister had suddenly become cold towards her.
My sister is heartbroken. She's so disappointed in me.
By the time they finished making dumplings, the walls of their house were almost finished. The outer wall was made from the bricks that had been used to build the stove, while the inner wall was made from wooden planks that the two brothers had salvaged from a scrap metal yard.
Su Yu looked at the curtain wall, admiring the intricate carvings and the slightly fragrant wood scent. Her eyes lingered on it intently. "Dazhi, this wooden board used to be a bed frame?"
"Sis, you're so smart, you guessed it right away."
Su Zhi chuckled and said, "I picked it out. Although it's broken in the middle, it's pieced together and it's quite suitable as wall material."
“I just think it smells good,” Su Dazhi said.
Nonsense, of course it smells good, it's made of Phoebe zhennan wood!
These few large logs, if stored away in the future, could be exchanged for a dilapidated house like this.
Now they've been reduced to patching up walls in this dilapidated house.
Su Yu suddenly felt that the plight of these pieces of wood was quite similar to her own—a pearl hidden in the dust. She gently patted the wood, but she couldn't care less about it now. After all, their current value was just a few pieces of broken wood, and it would take many years for them to regain their worth. Su Yu felt that relying on these few pieces of wood to turn her life around was less worthwhile than relying on herself.
However, I'll still have to take it with me when I move in the future.
He then instructed Su Zhi, "Zhi, this smells quite nice. Go and find some more of this fragrant wood and nail it to my bed frame so I can smell the fragrance too."
"Sis, I've found some good materials for you. The wood here is quite old."
"It's alright, I just like to keep a low profile in my life." Furniture made of nanmu wood is not only understated, but also luxurious.
After a lively lunch of dumplings, the entire Su family felt even happier. They even drank every last drop of the dumpling soup, then patted their bellies.
Su Yu sighed, "I heard a few days ago that many farmers in rural areas were so hungry they were eating tree bark. We can still eat dumplings now, how lucky we are."
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was so wonderful!
Su Yu said with great enthusiasm, "Trust me, I will make sure you have a good life."
"Sister, we believe you. Without you, we wouldn't have this meal of dumplings," Su Zhi said firmly.
What's wrong with this kid!
Su Yu was deeply moved. "Our Zhi is the most considerate person. Zhi, you're so good to me, but I don't have much to offer in return. I'm planning to find a way to resolve your job issue in a while."
Su Zhi was so shocked he almost stood up. "Sis... how could this be?"
"Even if it's impossible, I'll still give it a try," Su Yu said confidently. "You always listen to me the most, so of course I'll solve such a big problem for you."
She needs to let her family know that no matter how difficult the task, it's not impossible for her. She's not just loud, she's incredibly capable. Those who are truly close to her will have a better life.
However, the others, including Su Zhi, were somewhat unsure about her words. The factory had a limited number of openings. Their Su family had no connections, and Zhi seemed rather incompetent; this was going to be a difficult situation.
However, to save face for the eldest sister, everyone remained silent.
My older sister rarely brags, so just listen to her and let it go.
