"She is a bit old, twenty-five, but my eldest sister, Su Zhenzhu, doesn't want any dowry! Not a single penny!"
Su Jin laughed, "Moreover, she's exceptionally robust, about the same height as me, so she'll definitely be easier to bear children with than my little sister Ruyi!"
The second son's eyes immediately lit up: "I want this one! This is a real pig! This one is easy to raise!"
"No bride price?"
The old man stopped the second son, asking suspiciously, "What's wrong with your older sister?"
“She… was in a car accident a few days ago and lost an arm, but she’s not lame or mentally challenged, she’s fine!” Su Jin said with a forced smile. “My mother knows she’s sorry to all of you uncles and elders, you see…”
Uncle Biao pondered for a moment, then pulled Wang Fengzi aside and whispered something in his ear. He then stepped forward with a beaming smile and said, "I think this is a good idea! Since your mother has decided not to ask for a bride price, there's no need to go through the matchmaking process. Just pick an auspicious day and send the girl over!"
After saying that, he took out a dollar and handed it to Su Jin: "Jinzi, it's so hot today, thank you for making this trip!"
Su Jin accepted the money and thanked him repeatedly.
Uncle Biao whispered to him for a while longer, and they agreed on a date to pick him up.
At this moment, Su Zhenzhu, lying in her hospital room, was unaware that she had been tricked by her own younger brother.
She collapsed at the hospital entrance and was taken into the emergency room for examination—it turned out she had fainted from hunger.
So the female doctor, whom she had scolded, grabbed her hair, forced her to open her mouth, pressed down her tongue with a tongue depressor, and poured an entire bottle of intravenous glucose water into her mouth.
Less than half an hour later, Su Zhenzhu woke up, but developed a high fever.
Wang Bo anxiously said from the side, "Doctor, don't try to save me money, give my wife the best medicine!"
The female doctor rolled her eyes at him.
I felt a little jealous of this annoying female patient.
Even though she's disabled, her husband is still so devoted to her and treats her like a precious treasure. I don't know where she got such good fortune!
She reluctantly gave Su Zhenzhu anti-inflammatory medicine and an antipyretic injection.
Su Zhenzhu listened to Wang Bo's words with disdain.
She has always been arrogant and thought that someone like Wang Bo was not even worthy of her toes. Even though she now only has one arm, she still can't see the situation clearly.
Playing along with Wang Bo was actually a choice made out of necessity.
Because Wang Bo was the only one left by her side.
Thinking this, she gave a weak smile: "Wang Bo, I want to drink porridge."
Wang Bo quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go home right away and make you some porridge. Besides porridge, what else would you like to eat?"
Su Zhenzhu rolled her eyes: "Braised pork, all fat! With the skin on, stewed until tender!"
The female doctor happened to walk in and snorted coldly, "She can't eat greasy food right now! Just make her a bowl of congee!"
Wang Bo nodded and bowed hurriedly, "I understand, doctor. Thank you, doctor!"
Su Zhenzhu glared at the female doctor, then looked at Wang Bo's departing figure, wondering why Wang Bo hadn't asked her about the cellar.
Didn't he notice?
That shouldn't be the case; I dug the entire cellar three feet deep!
Moreover, the cellar exit wasn't even covered when they left!
She also carelessly tossed the shovel into the yard.
How could Wang Bo not have noticed?
Could it be that he really has a serious intellectual problem?
...
When Su Ruyi and Su Tong returned to the Su family courtyard, chatting and laughing, they saw Su Dazhi vomiting at the kitchen door.
There was a pile of half-cooked pig offal on the ground, along with several broken bowls and plates, clearly indicating a family fight had taken place.
The taste was simply indescribable.
Su Dazhi cursed as he spat, "You, Guan Yumei, I know you're holding a grudge against me! But you don't have to retaliate like this! My brand new pot! And you've ruined it!"
Guan Yumei's face also turned a little green: "I washed it twice! I told you to wait for the jinx to come back before doing it, but you couldn't wait and made me do it!"
"Twice? Only twice?"
Su Dazhi wailed, "Guan Yumei, I'm really blessed by you! In this life, I've even tasted the smell of pig manure!"
But my heart is good!
Guan Yumei felt wronged; her hands now also had a lingering smell of sewage.
For a time, the Su family ate pig offal regularly because Su Jin was dating the daughter of a butcher, and he could always buy it cheaply from his future father-in-law.
This stuff is always handled by Su Ruyi.
They should have used flour, but the Su family couldn't bear to part with it, so they used bran instead.
It needs to be rinsed at least a dozen times before it can be cooked.
Su Ruyi cooks extremely cleanly; there is absolutely no bran residue in the washed offal.
Moreover, it retains the oils, resulting in a particularly rich and mellow flavor.
As for these things on the ground... they're just containers for excrement.
Su Ruyi avoided Su Dazhi, who was vomiting, and was about to return to her storage room when Guan Yumei spotted her and immediately rushed over, trying to grab her braid: "You jinx, which wild man have you been seeing again?"
"Mom! What's wrong with you?!"
Su Tong hurried over and shielded Su Ruyi behind him. "Ruyi went out with me. We went to the library to read books. Mom, why do you always talk nonsense?"
"Exactly! All they do is spout nonsense all day long!"
Su Dazhi looked up and said something, then reached out his hand to Su Ruyi, "Sixth brother, you...you're going to the countryside too. Come with me this afternoon to buy two new outfits. You can make do with whatever you wear at home, but a girl should be more particular when she's out and about."
Su Ruyi's eyes widened—had she heard correctly? Su Dazhi was going to take her shopping for clothes?
