This time, Guan Yumei didn't indulge Su Manao. Instead, she pushed her aside, her face dark, and walked straight into the kitchen.
When Guan Yumei saw that the bags of rice, flour, and grains had been opened and the entire cupboard was in a mess, she felt like she could barely stand.
She turned around and slapped Su Manao twice as well:
"We're completely broke, and you're still wasting food like this?!"
Su Manao was stunned again.
A few seconds later, she touched her empty neck, then suddenly turned and ran towards the west wing.
Soon, she rushed out again, grabbed Su Zhenzhu, and slammed her head into her waist: "Give me back my pearl! No wonder I had such bad luck this morning! You thief! Give it back!"
Su Zhenzhu asked blankly, "What, your pearl? Isn't the pearl under your pillow?"
Su Manao cried out, "My pillow is on the floor, and there's nothing on the bed! Give it back! Those are my beads! You thief!"
Guan Yumei's face turned ashen as she walked up to Su Zhenzhu and said, "You took my little sister's beads? Give them back to her right now!"
Su Zhenzhu couldn't help but burst into tears: "Mom, you're so biased! I didn't lock her up! I didn't take her beads! I just hit her with a pillow in the middle of the night! She never sleeps, tossing and turning, making it hard for me to sleep either!"
Su Manao cried, "You took it! You liar! You didn't hit me with the pillow! You threw my pillow on the ground and took my beads!"
Su Ruyi stood to the side, watching and quietly letting out a burp.
Soon, Su Zhenzhu and Su Manao were fighting each other.
Although Su Manao was small, she was relentless in her attacks, and Su Zhenzhu dared not retaliate, only forced to defend herself. Soon, a large clump of her hair was pulled out.
Although Su Zhenzhu was ugly, she had thick, black, and shiny hair, and was her darling.
Every two years, she sells her hair, which is her main source of secret savings. She also secretly buys small items for her children, all with the money from selling her hair.
Seeing her hair being pulled, Su Zhenzhu could no longer control her anger. She grabbed Su Manao's hair and slapped her four times hard.
Su Zhenzhu was very strong, and Su Manao's face was visibly red and swollen, with two lines of tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Guan Yumei stopped standing by, grabbed Su Zhenzhu, and slapped her four times: "How dare you hit your little sister? You've gone too far!"
Startled by the blow, Su Zhenzhu suddenly rammed her head into Guan Yumei's chest: "Mom! Are you even my real mother? I'm 25 years old! And I'm still not married! I started working at 15, and it's been ten years! I've saved up my dowry for ten years, and now it's all been stolen, and you still hit me?!"
Guan Yumei was knocked back several steps before she staggered to her feet, but her expression turned strange.
Su Ruyi keenly noticed this.
Over ten years, Su Zhenzhu's salary increased from 5.4 yuan to 19.8 yuan, which is nearly 1,000 yuan. However, there was only a little over 100 yuan under the dresser.
What about the rest of the money?
It seems I haven't been observing carefully enough! I need to find another opportunity to look more closely.
Su Dazhi ignored the lawsuits and asked Su Jin, "The third boy hasn't come back all night?"
Su Jin shook his head.
Su Dazhi sneered, "He better never come back in his life! If he dares to come back, I'll chop off his two dog paws right now!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Ruyi again: "I told you to cook, are you deaf?! Do you want me to starve to death?"
Su Ruyi walked into the kitchen with her head down and eyes downcast.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she reached for the egg basket in the cupboard.
The basket was full of eggs, a good thirty of them!
Su Ruyi quickly poured out most of a bag of flour and rolled it into noodles.
He started chopping pickled vegetables again.
No one noticed that the spatula was missing. Su Ruyi took out a broken spatula that had leaked, washed it, and thought it would still work.
That morning, everyone at the Su family's dining table was acting rather suspiciously while eating.
Su Dazhi noticed two poached eggs nestled at the bottom of his bowl, glanced at Su Ruyi, and almost burst into tears!
Two poached eggs were nestled at the bottom of Su Tong's bowl!
Although there was no fried egg at the bottom of Su Jin's bowl, he noticed that the rice his sixth sister served him was fuller than everyone else's, almost reaching the top!
Su Zhenzhu didn't have a fried egg either, but her rice bowl was full! It was a bowl full of white noodles!
Su Manao did get a fried egg from the bottom of the bowl. Su Ruyi watched her sneakily swallow it in one gulp, grimacing from the heat, and sneered inwardly: "Little sister, this fried egg, in exchange for my agate beads, we're even!"
Thinking this, Su Ruyi suddenly felt a warmth throughout her body. She quietly savored it, and after a few seconds, the warmth disappeared.
She looked at Su Manao again and saw that the red light on her forehead had completely disappeared.
The only meal that Su Ruyi brought to Guan Yumei's room was noodles, which were a mixture of sorghum and corn noodles.
It was a full bowl.
Guan Yumei picked up her chopsticks, rubbed her throbbing temples, and cursed as usual, "Serving so much, are you trying to kill time? You jinx, give me back my key!"
Su Ruyi dodged: "Dad took the key."
Guan Yumei was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Get lost."
Su Ruyi returned to the kitchen, brought out her half-bowl of mixed noodles, and sat down at the table.
Su Dazhi glanced at her bowl, seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
As usual, Su Tong scooped out a third of the white noodles for her. While everyone was distracted, he also scooped in a poached egg, then quickly stirred it to the bottom of the bowl.
So, Su Ruyi also experienced the sensation of a scalding hot fried egg.
