Su Dazhi felt as if he had been shot in the knee.
"Sis, can we eat now?" Su Zhi asked, rubbing his stomach and holding the bowl.
"Of course, Zhi should eat more," Su Yu said with a smile, then took the bowl and filled it more than halfway for Su Zhi.
Then he gave Su Dazhi a large bowl. Finally, he gave Su Lin a half bowl. What was left in the pot was all his own, also a large bowl.
Su Lin: "..."
While eating, Su Yu said, "I heard that nowadays, our brothers and sisters in the countryside are all paid according to their work, just like in our factory. Zhiye used to be studying, but now he's working, so it's time for things to change at home. From now on, our family will be paid according to our work, with those who work more eating more and those who work less eating less."
Of the four people present, apart from Su Lin, the others were either already working or about to start working, so naturally no one objected.
Looking at the half-full bowl of porridge in her bowl, Su Lin couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Su Yu took a bite. "However, if you do well, you can eat the same amount as everyone else. Lin, you also need to strive to improve. You're the only one in our family who's falling behind right now."
Su Lin burst into tears.
This is unbearable!
"Su Dazhi, why didn't you come to pick me up?! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!"
The four siblings were enjoying their delicious meal when Liu Mei's voice came from the doorway. She then kicked the door angrily, rushed into the room, threw her bag onto the bed, and plopped down on it.
Su Dazhi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and almost dropped the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, "Liu Mei..."
Su Yu said, "Let's eat first."
Liu Mei then noticed that everyone was carrying bowls and chopsticks. She rubbed her own stomach, feeling a bit hungry, and forgot about being angry. She had come back late at noon and walked a long way; she was tired and hungry. She quickly went to find her own bowls and chopsticks to get some food, but when she looked in the pot, there was nothing there; the bottom had been scooped clean.
He immediately shouted angrily, "Why isn't mine included? What do you mean by this?"
Su Yu said, "What do you mean? I earned all of this. What's wrong with me supporting my Su family?"
"I'm a member of the Su family too!" Liu Mei said angrily. She had devoted herself wholeheartedly to the future of the Su family, to raising the next generation for them, yet this whole family treated her like an outsider!
Su Yu smiled indifferently, "You still know you're a member of our Su family, so why are you making a fuss about separating the family as soon as you arrive? Isn't it because you don't want to treat us as family? You even let Dazhi go hungry. A grown man, and he doesn't have a penny in his pocket. I think you don't want to be a daughter-in-law of our Su family, you want to be the ancestor of our Su family."
Liu Mei was speechless and could only look at Su Dazhi, "Dazhi, what are you standing there for?"
“I… Liu Mei, how about I give you mine to eat…” Su Dazhi stammered.
He was about to stand up.
Su Yu pulled him back, "If you don't want to eat, give it to Zhi. This food is for the Su family. You're my brother, I'm happy to give it to you. But Liu Mei bullied you, so she's not my family. Why give her food?"
Su Zhi quickly reached for the bowl in Su Dazhi's hand, "Brother, if you're not going to eat it, give it to me."
There was nothing left in the pot, so he only ate about 70% full.
Su Dazhi quickly dodged.
He's not eating. He's hungry too. People who were starving before were so afraid that they never dared to skip meals again.
Su Dazhi's hesitation made Liu Mei's face flush with anger, and tears streamed down her face. "Su Dazhi, you'd better understand me today: are you choosing them or me? You need to think about who you really want to live with!"
