After Su Ying returned to the family compound with the meat, everyone who saw her came up to greet her warmly.
"Xiaoying, are you back?"
"Isn't this our little hero from Qingzhou Province? Xiaoying has really brought honor to our family compound. Today, all my relatives came to ask me if I knew the person in the newspaper."
"Me too. Xiaoying really did something great without making any noise. If I hadn't read the newspaper, I wouldn't have known about it. It's really amazing."
As soon as Su Ying entered the family compound, many people gathered around her.
Now, not only the people in the machinery factory’s staff housing compound, but also everyone in the entire province and city knew Su Ying.
Many older people in the family compound watched Su Ying grow up. Being featured in the newspapers at this time was a huge joy for them, just like the influence of the Spring Festival Gala in later generations.
Early in the morning, everyone who saw the newspaper came to the Su family's door to congratulate them.
Su Ying became famous now, and everyone who saw her couldn't help but praise her.
Old Su and Li Yulan never dreamed that their daughter, who had always been in trouble since she was a child, would do such a big thing this time?
When talking about Su Ying's volunteer work, although they were more worried at the time, after seeing the report in the newspaper about Su Ying's performance in the disaster area, they couldn't help but feel proud of their daughter.
Su Ying originally thought that being in the newspaper was no big deal, but suddenly she received so much attention that even her thick skin could not handle it.
She finally pushed her bicycle and carried the meat home. Seeing Lao Su and Li Yulan was like seeing a life-saving straw, and she let them accept the praise from those people in the compound.
She hid in the room and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person at the door being sent away.
This is horrible. If she had known that this would happen in the newspaper, she should not have agreed to the interview.
Although Su Ying was not used to the praise from so many people, Lao Su and Li Yulan were very happy.
It's a good thing to be in the newspaper, and they are also proud to have such an outstanding daughter.
"Is our little hero shy?" Li Yulan opened the door, saw Su Ying, and teased with a smile.
"Oh, Mom, even you are teasing me? Your little hero is hungry, why don't you hurry up and cook?" Su Ying said to Li Yulan with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Okay, okay, I'll go make you your favorite braised pork right away." Li Yulan said with a smile as she carried the meat that Su Ying brought back into the kitchen.
Soon, Su Yi and Lin Nan also came back.
They were all very surprised to learn that Su Ying had brought back so much meat.
Even with meat coupons, it’s hard to buy meat these days.
There are many people who live in the same family compound but only eat meat a few times a year.
But Su Ying's family had meat to eat every other day, which aroused the envy of many people.
Aunt Hua had always disliked the Su family, and now when she saw Su Ying bringing back a lot of meat, she was so jealous that her eyes were about to pop out.
She stood at the door of Su Ying's house and looked inside, and saw Li Yulan cutting meat in the kitchen.
That was five pounds of meat, and her family hadn't eaten meat for half a year. She was really greedy.
I heard that Jiang Yue knew the people in the meat processing plant, and that he had informed the people there in advance about the meat for Su Ying, so they reserved it for her.
Thinking of this, Aunt Hua knocked on the door.
Hearing a knock on the door, Li Yulan walked out of the kitchen and saw Aunt Hua standing at their door.
Aunt Hua is a famous gossip in their compound. Many of the bad rumors about their family were spread through her mouth.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome in our house." Li Yulan walked to the door and asked Aunt Hua coldly.
"Yulan, look at our neighbors. My grandson was seriously ill last time, and the doctor said he needed to be well nourished. You know the situation in our family, and you have so much meat that you can't finish it all. Can you give me some?"
Although Aunt Hua had some meat coupons, she was reluctant to buy meat. She was counting on those meat coupons to save for the New Year.
When Li Yulan heard Aunt Hua's words, her face changed immediately.
But before she could speak, Su Ying's voice came over.
"How come I haven't heard of anyone in our compound being so poor that they have to beg for food? Besides, who says we can't finish all the meat? Even if we can't finish it, we'll feed it to the dogs instead of giving it to someone like you."
Su Ying's words were much harsher than Li Yulan's. Aunt Hua was so angry that she pointed at Su Ying and scolded her, "How dare you talk like that, young girl? I just wanted to borrow some money from you, and I didn't say I wouldn't return it."
"Besides, it's summer, and you have so much meat at home that you can't finish it all in one meal. The meat will definitely go bad if you leave it out for the next day. I'm just doing you a favor."
Aunt Hua usually borrows rice, vegetables and salt from everywhere in the compound, but I have never seen her pay her back.
She only borrowed small things, and when other people asked her for them, she would scold them behind their backs and say they were stingy.
As a result, everyone in the compound knew what kind of person she was, and no one was willing to lend her anything anymore.
Su Ying could understand borrowing other things, but what she didn't expect was that Aunt Hua actually asked to borrow meat from their family?
Meat is such a precious thing, and their family doesn’t even have enough to eat. How can she have the nerve to say such a thing?
"Help? That's not necessary. We have a refrigerator at home. This meat won't go bad in ten days or half a month. We can keep it and eat it slowly. You should borrow it from somewhere else."
Aunt Hua had forgotten about this matter. Jiang Yue had just bought a refrigerator and now it was placed at Su Ying's house.
The refrigerator is such a good thing, it is really a bargain for their whole family.
"Bah! That refrigerator was clearly bought by Jiang Yue. You're a family of vampires. If Jiang Yue's parents knew you were sucking their son's blood like this, they would definitely not let you go."
Aunt Hua was immediately furious when she saw that her plan had failed.
She couldn't eat it, and she wouldn't let Su Ying's family have an easy time.
"This is none of your business. I think your grandson deserves to be sick. With a grandmother like you, it's probably because of the sins you committed that have been transferred to him. I'm afraid he's going to be unlucky for the rest of his life."
Su Ying knew that Aunt Hua loved her precious grandson the most, and if anyone dared to say anything bad about her grandson, she would never forgive that person.
What's more, Su Ying has a sharp tongue and cursed her grandson in front of her.
Aunt Hua was so angry that she was about to hit Su Ying, "You little bitch, if you say another word to me, you dare to curse my grandson, I will smack your mouth to pieces."
Li Yulan was standing by, how could she tolerate others bullying her precious daughter?
Naturally, the two of them were not afraid of Aunt Hua. When Aunt Hua saw that she could not beat them, she ran away in shame.
She couldn't swallow this humiliation. She heard that Zhao Chunmei was released a few days ago, so she went to find Zhao Chunmei and told her that Jiang Yue and Su Ying's family had occupied her house.
