Su Dazhi was hungry and tired from walking, so hearing Su Yu's words made him feel even more aggrieved and upset.
I'm a worker who gets paid and eats rationed food, how did I end up like this?
"Sister, I..." Su Dazhi looked at Su Yu with a wronged expression.
Su Yu didn't want to see his cowardly appearance at all. She turned her head to look at the door of the ward, "Do you know why I didn't separate from the family? At my age, once I'm married, I'll have my own home. Why would I care about that house? I'm just worried about you! When I was home, Liu Mei treated you so badly. If I leave, she'll probably ruin you even more. Dazhi, you're my own brother. How can I watch you be bullied? It hurts my heart—"
The last sentence had a heart-wrenching quality, and Su Dazhi was immediately jolted awake.
So that's why my sister didn't separate from the family – it was for him. She couldn't stand seeing him being bullied by Liu Mei.
The person in the next bed listened to the two men's conversation and understood almost everything.
The older sister was raising her younger brother, while the younger brother was being bullied and oppressed by his wicked wife. The older sister didn't blame her brother; instead, she was worried about him being bullied.
This older sister really works hard and worries a lot.
The woman in the next bed, a grandmother with her grandson, looked at Su Dazhi and said, "You're such a useless man. A man like you, still being dominated by your wife. If your parents hadn't passed away, wouldn't your wife have been dominating them too? Are you even a man?"
Others chimed in, "Exactly! Look how good-looking you are, and then look at your sister now. You should open your eyes wider. Even if we're siblings, blood is thicker than water!"
Su Yu sighed, "I don't expect him to repay me. I'm just worried that he'll be bullied. When my parents passed away, he was still like that. We grew up relying on each other... It breaks my heart."
Su Dazhi, his face flushed red, finally couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed onto the bedside, sobbing, "Sister, sister..."
Su Yu reached out and patted his head hard. "Good boy, don't cry."
So, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The original owner kept giving without ever mentioning her own difficulties. This whole family was spoiled and selfish; who remembers that their lives all stemmed from the original owner's selfless dedication?
Su Dazhi cried for a while before he caught his breath. "Sister, I... I won't separate from the family."
Su Yu shook her head and sighed, "If we don't separate the family, aren't you afraid of Liu Mei? She controls all your money. Sigh, how come you're living such a pathetic life? What man doesn't manage money?"
“That’s right, my son manages my household,” the old lady said.
Su Dazhi said, "Sister, I... I won't give her any more money from now on. I'll manage it myself."
What if she tries to control you?
"..."
"If only Mom were still here, she could help manage the money. After all, you still consider me, your own sister who's depended on you, as an outsider."
"Whose is it, sis? I don't consider you an outsider."
Su Yu ignored his nonsense and continued, "Do you know why Zhi doesn't want to study? It's because he sees that our family is too poor. He's planning to go out and work. He even said he'll save all his wages for me so that when he gets married, he won't let me pay for it; he'll use the money he earns himself. Zhi definitely won't be like you."
Su Dazhi suddenly remembered that he had spent his family's money on his wedding, and said guiltily, "Sister, please save my money for me too."
Su Yu looked at him and said, "Dazhi, forget about money. I wouldn't believe you could even buy me a meat bun right now."
"..."
When Yan Fang arrived, Su Dazhi was sent back to work by Su Yu.
Su Yu concluded that Su Dazhi's personality was due to being spoiled too much by the original owner of the body. He hadn't experienced any hardship, lacked responsibility, and was soft-hearted. Such a person, who hadn't suffered, was easily swayed. He was even worse than her cowardly father from her previous life. Although she didn't particularly like him, he was still a full-time employee, receiving a monthly salary and various benefits. This was a ready-made meal ticket, one she had to hold onto.
