When Su Dazhi heard Su Jin's master ask this question, his old face turned ashen with embarrassment.
He lowered his head deeply: "No, no, you've done the right thing. It's my fault for not raising my son properly."
"Stop talking nonsense, lest I say something more nice—give me the household registration book." Su Zhenzhu spoke again.
"How did you end up with my household registration booklet?!" Su Dazhi replied in a low voice, annoyed.
"Guan Yumei said you took the household registration booklet to help Su Jin get her official employment status." Su Zhenzhu's voice was loud.
The onlookers immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"What? Su Jin is getting a permanent position?"
"Why are there so many people ahead of him in line?"
"There's more to this than meets the eye!"
"With that kind of character, you think you can get a permanent position?"
"Exactly! This kind of scum should be expelled!"
"What a despicable, smoking piece of trash!"
...
"The household registration book isn't with me. Go home and ask your mother! She just doesn't want to give it to you!" At this moment, Su Dazhi just wanted to get rid of this plague-like daughter as soon as possible.
Su Zhenzhu didn't want to leave: "Su Dazhi, don't rush. I've been working for eight years and have given my family more than 1,200 yuan. You and Guan Yumei agreed that you would save 300 yuan of this money for my dowry. Give me this money now. I'm disabled now, and it's not right for you to keep this money."
“You know all the money in the house was stolen!” Su Dazhi’s voice was even lower.
"Your precious son Su Yin stole all the money in the house, didn't he? It's okay, Su Dazhi, don't you have a salary? Three hundred yuan is only three months' salary for you. I'll go to the factory manager and ask him to give me an advance. That should be possible, right?" Su Zhenzhu revealed another chilling smile.
"No, no, no, don't go!" Su Dazhi said hurriedly, "I'll go get an advance, okay? Eldest daughter, but I'll also tell you this—if you push your father so hard today, don't even think about him standing up for you in the future."
"I'm disabled, and you haven't stood up for me. What about the future?" Su Zhenzhu's face turned cold, and her smile vanished in an instant. "Three hundred yuan. I'll give you twenty minutes. If I don't see the cash by then, I'll go find your factory manager right away."
Su Dazhi quickly took off his gloves and ran away in a flash.
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Su Jin's face flushed red as he glared at Su Zhenzhu, his voice low and menacing: "It's just an arm, isn't it? Besides, it was already broken. I heard Dad pull you when he yelled—it might have had to be amputated anyway! Did you really have to go through with this?"
Su Zhenzhu said expressionlessly, "Remember what you said today."
Su Jin clenched his fist: "What, you're still holding a grudge? You ruined my relationship, my mentor isn't taking me on anymore, and my chances of getting a permanent position are definitely over. You've hurt me so badly, what else do you want?"
"We'll settle our scores slowly," Su Zhenzhu said lightly. "You'll find out later."
In that dream, she remembered that more than ten years later, her arm could be transplanted.
The siblings stared at each other, their eyes burning with the fierce flames of hatred.
Su Dazhi jogged back again. He held thirty ten-yuan bills in his hand and handed them to Su Zhenzhu: "Count them."
Su Zhenzhu smiled and said, "I'm disabled and can't count money. Count it for me."
Su Dazhi's face twitched a few times, and he squeezed out a single word through his teeth: "Okay."
After counting the money, Su Zhenzhu took it, put it in her pocket, and walked away.
At the same time, Su Tong and Su Ruyi were taking the afternoon exam at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The academic prowess of these two top students is beyond question.
This time, Su Ruyi came in first place, and Su Tong came in second.
The work was held in my hands for ten minutes before it was sold.
Two thousand six hundred yuan in hand.
The two deposited the majority of the money at the bank, and split the rest equally. As usual, Su Ruyi put the deposit slip into her spatial storage.
It was already 4:30 PM.
Su Tong led Su Ruyi to the supply and marketing cooperative, took out a list he had prepared beforehand, and purchased over three hundred yuan worth of supplies. All the money he had earned from the exam was spent.
Su Ruyi couldn't stop him, so she could only smile and watch him spend money like water.
Not only did he spend money, Su Tong also took out all the tickets and coupons he had accumulated over the years and used them all up.
Even the precious industrial coupons were used to buy a large iron pot.
He said, "The educated youth come from all over the country. If their cooking doesn't suit your taste, you can start your own kitchen and find a few compatible educated youth to cook with. Once you've cooked, you're in charge of everything. That's called seizing the initiative!"
Su Ruyi laughed and said, "Fourth Brother, the way you talk sounds like an old educated youth who has been sent to the countryside for many years is instructing the younger generation!"
Su Tong said, "Your fifth brother wrote to me about this. Ruyi, it's better to be prepared. You'll know when you go to the countryside."
"Well, then I will definitely live up to Fourth Brother's expectations and start anew as soon as I get there!" Su Ruyi said, amused by her own words.
After another round of shopping spree, Su Tong turned to Su Ruyi and said, "Send these over first, so you don't have to squeeze onto the train. If there's anything else you haven't bought, write to your fourth brother, and I'll come and buy it."
Su Ruyi laughed and said, "You even bought me two eight-pound water bottles, is there anything else I haven't bought?"
Su Tong said, "I'm doing this just in case! Think about it, what if you accidentally knock over a kettle? Then you won't have any hot water to drink! This is Northeast China, it's so cold!"
“Brother, it’s summer now.” Su Ruyi shook her head helplessly.
They borrowed a handcart from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the two transported the supplies to the post office. They packed the four largest parcels and mailed them out.
