Chapter 17 Final Decision



"Yunyun, are you up? What do you want to eat? Second aunt will make it for you."

Early in the morning, Su Qingyun looked at the big smile on her second aunt's face with some horror, and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Go ahead." Zhang Xinlan looked at her expectantly. After a night, she finally figured it out. Wasn't it just a matter of going along with her? Simple.

Su Qingyun thought about it and understood.

She looked up at the sun in the sky with a serious face, "Second Aunt, look at the sun."

"What?" Zhang Xinlan also looked up.

"Doesn't it look like a runny egg?"

Zhang Xinlan: ...If you want soft-boiled eggs, just tell me!

"Aunt will make it for you right away." She turned and went into the kitchen.

Su Qingyun said leisurely, "Second Aunt, I like to eat those soft-boiled eggs the most. The yolk is not powdery, but it is not as runny as water, not too thin or too thick. It is best if the egg white is a little rounder, which makes it more appetizing."

"...Okay." Zhang Xinlan gritted her teeth and agreed behind her back. She endured it!

Ten minutes later, the soft-boiled eggs were served on the table.

"Yunyun, try it?" Zhang Xinlan swore that this was the most carefully prepared soft-boiled egg she had ever made.

Su Qingyun took a look and found the shape perfect. She picked it up and took a bite. The sweet egg aroma filled her mouth. It was exactly what she wanted, neither too thin nor too thick.

Her second aunt is really good at cooking.

"Not bad." Su Qingyun praised casually and looked at the pumpkin seeds drying in the corner. "Second aunt, fry those pumpkin seeds. Add some salt and fry over low heat. They are very fragrant."

Zhang Xinlan's face twisted for a moment, she was addicted to it!

“…Okay.” She fried!

Half an hour later, Su Qingyun sat at the gate of the yard holding a handful of pumpkin seeds and started to crack them happily.

Behind her, Zhang Xinlan gritted her teeth at her and rubbed her sore hands.

At noon, everyone came back from work to eat. Usually the sound of slurping food could be heard everywhere, but today it was particularly quiet.

"Come, Yunyun, eat this." Zhang Xinlan picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks and smiled.

"Thank you, second aunt." Su Qingyun smiled and ate it with peace of mind.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Su Aidang asked when he saw that her hand was shaking a little.

"It's okay." Zhang Xinlan kept smiling. How could the pumpkin seeds not shake after being stir-fried for half an hour?

"Did Mom take the wrong medicine today?" Su Congwu asked Su Congwen in a low voice, with a frightened look on his face.

A smile flashed in Su Congwen's eyes, "It's all for you."

"For me?" Su Congwu was confused for a moment, then understood, "Mom, be normal." He was scared.

"What are you talking about? Eat yours." Zhang Xinlan glared at him, then turned around and changed her expression again, "Come on, Yunyun, eat some more of this. Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

The whole family trembled at her gentle tone.

After dinner, Qin Ying looked at Su Aimin and said, "Second sister-in-law is so terrible."

Su Aimin suppressed his laughter. "In the past, my second sister-in-law would have been an expert in intelligence work. She was flexible and good at changing her expression."

Su Qingyun was amused by what her father said.

"By the way, Yunyun, have you thought about it? Who should this quota be given to?" Qin Ying was a little worried. "Whoever this quota is given to will feel uncomfortable. If it is given to my eldest brother's family, my second sister-in-law will probably be furious."

Su Qingyun pursed her lips and said, "I'm just going to give it to my elder brother."

Su Aimin: "Tell me the reason."

"Third brother has good grades and was planning to go to the city to take the worker exam in a while. I believe he will definitely pass. But big brother, it will be difficult if you lose this opportunity."

"But your second aunt..." Qin Ying was a little hesitant.

"It's okay. Second sister-in-law knows that we know the deputy county magistrate. She will be a little cautious and dare not offend us. Besides, with Dad and Mom keeping her in check, she won't dare to make a scene."

"That's true." Qin Ying nodded in agreement. She had never seen anyone as domineering as her mother-in-law.

"Okay, it's decided." Su Aimin made the decision.

At dinner that night, Su Qingyun announced her decision to the whole family, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, and eldest, second, and third brothers, I have decided to hand over this apprenticeship position at the steel plant to..."

The whole family held their breath.

"Big brother."

"What!" As expected, Zhang Xinlan exploded. "Why didn't you choose to follow the martial arts profession? Give me a reason."

Not only her, but the eldest family was also stunned. They all thought that this spot would go to Congwu.

Su Qingyun did not answer her question, but looked at Su Congwu, "Third brother, you have been the smartest child in our family since you were young. I believe that you can pass the examination to become a worker with your own strength. This time, I will give this opportunity to you, eldest brother. You won't blame me, right?"

Seeing her serious expression, Su Congwu also put away his playful smile and said, "We are all family. It doesn't matter who I give it to. What's the weird thing? Besides, I believe in myself. I can definitely pass the exam and become a worker, and a regular one at that."

"Mom, just wait, I'll give you a test!" he said with great pride.

"You think roasting sweet potatoes is so easy." Zhang Xinlan said unhappily.

The matter was done, and under Wu Guixiang's murderous gaze, she didn't dare to continue making trouble.

Su Congjun, who was hit by the pie in the sky, was silent for a while, then said, "I will work hard and will not let you down, and will not let this opportunity down."

Su Dalin took a puff of his cigarette and told him, "Work hard and don't embarrass your sister."

"I know, sir." Su Congjun assured.

At this point, the work matters were settled. Among the three brothers of the Su family, the eldest became a worker, the second joined the army, and the third worked hard to prepare for the worker's exam.

At night, Zhang Xinlan sat on the bed, and Su Aidang rubbed her hands, which were sore and painful. Thinking about being ordered around by Su Qingyun for a whole day, she was furious.

"This girl is teasing me for fun!"

Su Aidang shook his head. "Why are you competing with Yunyun? You're not getting anything good out of it."

"I just can't accept this. Why can't our second wife get any benefits?" Zhang Xinlan grew angrier and angrier as she spoke. "Such a good job, and it just went to the first wife."

"Are you really stupid or just pretending?" Su Aidang looked at his wife, feeling very disappointed. "The third brother and his friends have met the deputy county chief this time. What a big shot he is. Any little that slips through his fingers would be enough for us. We can't let go of such a great favor as saving his child just this once, right? This time, we gave the opportunity to Congjun. But next time, the third brother and his friends will always think of us first, right?"

Wu Guixiang always thought that her second son was too honest, but there were no stupid people in the Su family. Su Aidang didn't talk much, but he could see things clearly and knew the pros and cons.

"Don't think about being dissatisfied and keep arguing with the third brother and the others. I think Yunyun will have a great future." Otherwise, why didn't others see that something was wrong with the kidnapper? Why didn't others save the child?

Zhang Xinlan curled her lips. Su Qingyun was so lazy and pretentious, what future could he have?

However, the first half of the sentence does make some sense.
