During this trip to Haicheng, Su Xueshu lost three sons: one died, two were imprisoned, but his eldest son, Su Dali, whom he disliked the most, survived.
It seems like we lost out.
However, he actually made a profit!
Even if his three sons who lost their jobs worked hard to earn money for him in the fields, he still wouldn't get an extra 35 yuan a month!
35 yuan!
What does that mean?
If it were chickens, he could kill about ten chickens a month to eat for the rest of his life!
If it were peanuts to go with drinks... he could have eaten them ten times over!
Speaking of alcohol, with this 35 yuan, he can even afford to drink Moutai!
What's the point of raising a son?
Isn't it all so they can earn money to support themselves in their old age?
Now that he has three sons, one is dead and two are no longer around, and he has money in his own hands, his daughters-in-law and grandsons have lost their pillar of support and have no choice but to cling to him.
Moreover, Su Dazhi also had to provide him with good food and drink every month and invite him to Haicheng to enjoy seven or eight days of bliss!
Those old fogies in the village must be itching to get back at me!
What an amazing retirement life!
"Hahahaha!" Su Xueshu burst into laughter at the thought, drawing the attention of everyone in the car.
...
Let's talk about Su Manao, who has been at school for more than a day.
On Saturday and Sunday, she stayed in Teacher Zhang's dormitory doing nothing, and went to the faculty canteen for meals at regular times.
She wouldn't stop until she had spent every single penny of the meal tickets Teacher Zhang gave her.
The cafeteria lady already knew this dark-faced little orphan who supposedly had a very pitiful background.
The little girl has a sweet tongue and loves to smile.
Actually, whether the spoon shakes or not is up to the older women to decide.
So, Su Manao has been eating so much these past two days that her mouth is full of oil and her belly is round.
However, Teacher Zhang will be back this afternoon.
Su Manao's scapegoat plan is now urgent.
She first went to Teacher Lin's dormitory, lingered for a while, asking all sorts of questions, without saying what she wanted to do.
Teacher Lin was so annoyed by her nagging that she suddenly remembered that she had promised to give her two more sets of clothes. So she told her to wait in her dormitory while she went home to get them.
Ms. Lin's husband has passed away, and her only daughter married far away. Her family lives in the suburbs of Haicheng, so she has always lived alone in the school dormitory.
Su Manao estimated the time it would take for Teacher Lin to go home, then peeked into the corridor to make sure no one was passing by. She first opened Teacher Lin's dormitory door, then put bricks in the crack to prevent the door from locking itself. She then went back to Teacher Zhang's dormitory and did the same thing.
Then, she went back to Teacher Lin's dormitory and put Teacher Zhang's dormitory key into the pocket of Teacher Lin's coat hanging behind the door.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the corridor, she took the bricks and locked the door to Teacher Lin's dormitory.
Back in Teacher Zhang's dormitory, he put away the bricks again and closed the door.
Then, with a handkerchief in her mouth, she frantically pinched herself, leaving a bunch of bruises on her arms, stomach, and thighs.
I admired my masterpiece for a while and was very satisfied.
Then she lowered her sleeves to cover the scars.
Teacher Lin rushed back, opened her dormitory door, and, not seeing Su Manao, went straight to Teacher Zhang's dormitory.
"Su Manao, try these on. These two outfits belong to my daughter when she was little. They should fit your figure perfectly now!" Teacher Lin's face was flushed from the journey.
"Teacher Lin, please come in first, let me pour you a glass of water!" Su Manao said with a smile.
"No need, no need, I'll just drink it in my own dorm!" Teacher Lin refused as she walked out.
Su Manao suddenly walked behind her and closed the door.
Teacher Lin assumed this was the little girl's way of thanking her, and smiled with a hint of surprise, "You naughty girl! Okay, then pour it for me!"
As she spoke, she sat down in Teacher Zhang's chair.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Su Manao let out a heart-wrenching wail: "Teacher Lin, I was wrong! Please stop pinching me! Please!"
She cried and wailed while tearing at her clothes.
Teacher Lin was completely dumbfounded—could this child have a mental illness?!
Su Manao appeared to be insane, and after hesitating for a moment, she still did not step forward.
By this time, the doors in the stairwell had all opened.
The female teachers swarmed over.
Su Manao opened the door and rushed into the arms of a young female teacher wearing glasses who was the first to rush out.
At this moment, Teacher Lin realized what was happening, got up from her chair, and walked outside.
The woman with glasses instinctively shielded Su Manao behind her: "Teacher Lin, did you pinch the child?"
Teacher Lin quickly shook her head: "No, no, I didn't pinch her! This child probably has some mental problems and is having an episode."
"You pinched me! Waaaaah!" Su Manao cried as she rolled up her sleeves, trouser legs, and even lifted her belly.
There were seven or eight female teachers watching, and they all gasped in shock—Su Manao had at least seventeen or eighteen pinch marks of varying sizes on her body!
Everyone immediately and neatly moved away from Teacher Lin.
Teacher Lin looked at the pinch marks on Su Manao's body, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
What happened?
What exactly is going on?
Su Manao cried, "I gave you the key, why did you still pinch me?"
"What key?" the woman with glasses asked.
“The key to Teacher Zhang’s dormitory… Waaah…” Su Manao said clearly between sobs, “Teacher Lin asked me to give her the key and told me to lie to Teacher Zhang and say that I accidentally lost the key…”
"Old Lin, what do you need Xiao Zhang's key for?" the bespectacled woman asked curiously.
"I didn't! This child must have lost his mind!" After thinking for a long time, Teacher Lin could only come to this conclusion.
"I gave you the key... Waaah... Teacher Zhang is so good to me, I don't want to lie to her..." Su Manao cried so hard that tears streamed down her face.
The woman with glasses couldn't bear it and wanted to squat down and pick her up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched her, she hissed and gasped.
"You old Lin! You know this girl is an orphan, so you bully her all you want, don't you?" At this moment, an old teacher stepped forward, "You have a daughter yourself! How could you do this to her?"
"I didn't! I... Ah!!!" Teacher Lin was so angry she was almost going crazy. "Su Manao! How could you lie to me? I took two buses home in this sweltering heat to get your clothes!"
As she spoke, she rushed back to Teacher Zhang's dormitory and threw the two sets of clothes that she had left on the bed at Su Manao.
Su Manao screamed as she was thrown squarely into the air.
Now, everyone was furious.
The elderly teacher angrily retorted, "There are so many of us watching, and you still hit her!"
The woman with glasses chimed in, "Exactly!"
Someone else shouted from behind, "Let's get the principal!"
Just then, Teacher Zhang finally returned!
