Li Aidang checked the time, quickly went inside to change her clothes, and left. Li Aijun was left dazed, looking at her eldest and second eldest sisters, suddenly unsure who to trust.
Although she had a good relationship with her second sister, she didn't want to be controlled by anyone. She was a free spirit. So in the end, she ignored everyone and simply found a stool to sit on and read.
Li Aihong glared at the two of them and stormed into the house.
Watching her retreating figure, Li Ping suddenly felt a sense of comfort. She suddenly wanted to share her feelings with Sister Su Yu.
It feels so good to make others lose all their friends.
...
Su Yu was eating meat buns at home. Old Lady Liu might not be good at much else, but her cooking skills were quite impressive. At least, they rivaled her skills in making savory dishes.
The rest of the Su family were practically moved to tears while eating. This was the only time of the week they could eat something decent.
Su Dazhi asked with concern, "Sis, when are you moving back in?"
"It's still early, and it's freezing cold. I don't want to freeze."
Su Yu plans to move back in the spring. Anyway, winter is so cold, and it's going to snow soon, so she doesn't intend to go back and forth between the two places.
Su Dazhi immediately looked disappointed.
Su Yu, of course, knew his thoughts. She knew everything about the family situation. Su Lin was her spy; don't let the girl's cunning fool you, she was very perceptive and would report anything suspicious to her. However, after learning that Old Lady Liu hadn't embezzled anything from the house, Su Yu pretended not to know anything about her doing anything improper.
Anyway, if the biological mother and mother-in-law are willing to mistreat their own daughter and son-in-law, why should she, as the eldest sister, care so much? It's all for her own money.
"These meat buns are good, Auntie. Could you wrap seven or eight for me later so I can take them to the Song family?"
When she heard that Su Yu was going to take the meat buns she made to the high-ranking official's house, Old Lady Liu blushed and said, "Oh dear, I'll have to make them again and put in extra meat."
Su Yu said, "Make the meat portion smaller; even high-ranking officials are frugal."
“Oh, you know best,” Old Lady Liu replied immediately.
Grandma Liu is very content with her life now. There aren't many people in her family, so there's not much to do, and she has enough to eat. She often takes walks in the neighborhood and chats with other elderly women. She's happy with her life and doesn't want to go home anymore.
After dinner, Su Yu instructed Su Dazhi to take Old Lady Liu to buy a cotton hat later, as it would be warm in this cold weather. This deeply moved Old Lady Liu. In all the years she had lived in the Liu family, no one had ever bought her a hat. "My dear in-law, you are so generous!" she exclaimed.
Su Yu smiled; at least she didn't have to pay out of her own pocket. Even if Su Dazhi didn't have any money, he would still have to ask Liu Mei for it.
Since she had already spoken, the couple couldn't refuse to buy it.
The key is to get the old lady settled down. This family won't be able to do without her from now on; we must make sure she settles down in the Su family and serves them from now on.
A little while later, Secretary Song came to pick up Su Yu.
Su Yu, carrying meat buns and fully equipped, got on her bicycle.
On the way, Secretary Song finally couldn't help but bring up the engagement again. Yesterday, Su Yu told him to just let it go, and he definitely couldn't agree to it.
He was about to leave, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to leave with peace of mind... well, I mean, he was uneasy.
Su Yu leaned against his back, half asleep, and said, "You got engaged on New Year's Day. That's an auspicious day."
Secretary Song perked up. "You think it's good too?"
“I heard from a classmate from Shanghai that she had heard from international friends that in their country, if a man wants to become a revolutionary comrade-in-arms with a woman, he needs to present her with 999 roses and a sparkling ring, kneel down on one knee, and say sweet words to her. Only in this way can he show the other party’s sincerity.”
"..."
"I think these flowers and this ring are too extravagant. They don't fit our frugal lifestyle. But that kneeling proposal is something I think is worth learning from. Comrade Dongzheng, what's your opinion?"
"..." Secretary Song felt pain in her knees, probably from the cold wind.
