Someone around came back from work and greeted Su Luo with a smile: "Xiao Luo, you're back!"
Su Luo smiled and nodded: "Hey, I'm back. Has Uncle Zhou eaten?"
"No, I'm going home to eat. It's so hot and I'm so busy." Uncle Zhou said with a smile.
Su Luo also responded with a smile: "That's right."
Li Cuicui came forward and said, "Xiao Luo, it's dinner time now. My house is close by, why don't you come over to eat? We're having meat at home today, and Yi Yi is coming too. You don't have to cook at noon, so you don't have to be busy."
"No thanks." Su Luo refused directly: "Cousin, cousin, I've thought about what you said, and it's really not necessary. I'm just selling these two barrels of braised meat, not running a business or a hotel, why do I need help? If I really ask you to help, people will laugh at me to death. You're just running a small business, but you act like a company boss. So that's it, don't say these things in front of me in the future."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Su Sheng's face turned a little unhappy. Someone from the village happened to pass by, so he raised his voice and said, "Xiao Luo, do you really regard me as a relative? When you were kicked out of the house by your third uncle, I cleaned up the old house for you to live in. When you were pregnant for ten months, it was your sister-in-law who asked her mother to deliver your baby. Otherwise, go and ask, who would dare to deliver your baby out of wedlock?"
The people around couldn't help but prick up their ears and look over sideways.
Su Sheng continued, "Also, if I hadn't helped you often and sent you food and drink, could you have raised the child? Xiaoluo, I never wanted anything in return from you for doing all this. I thought that relatives should help each other, and you wouldn't forget your roots. We are relatives of the same generation, and we will have a long time to support each other in the future. But you were so humble when you asked us for help, and you took everything we gave you. I never heard you say that you were not familiar with Big Brother and it was not good to ask for Big Brother's things. Oh, now that you are prosperous, rich, and doing business, I said to ask your sister-in-law to help you, but you acted like you were guarding against thieves, saying no all the time, and asked me not to say these things in front of you. What did I say? I just asked your sister-in-law to help you because I was worried that you would be too busy taking care of the children and doing business. I was wrong, wasn't I?"
Li Cuicui calmed him down and said, "Don't be angry, Xiaoluo. Your brother just heard you ask us not to say these things in front of you in the future. He feels that you have become estranged from us and is a little sad. We are still a family, right? Broken bones are still connected. Your brother asked me to help you. If you don't want it, forget it. We don't want anything from you. You don't have to cut ties with your brother and sister-in-law so cleanly. You don't want to hurt their feelings, right? How can you do things this way? Your brother and sister-in-law don't have much money. It's not easy for them to help you, and you have never refused. Now that you have just started a business, you cut ties with your brother and sister-in-law. This really chills our hearts."
Su Luo watched as more and more people gathered around her, and the way they looked at her had changed a little.
She felt annoyed in her heart, but she had to pretend to be hurt on her face: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are so guilty to say this! What favors have I received from my eldest brother? I have repaid all the favors I have received. Don't use my Qiao here and pretend."
Her eyes were red. "Yes, my eldest brother found an old house for me to live in, but when my father kicked me out, who among the four of us, my mother, my brother, my eldest brother and you, sister-in-law, stood by me and spoke for me? Didn't you all support my father in kicking me out? It was you, Li Cuicui, who couldn't wait to pack up my clothes and throw my things out the door! Aren't you just afraid that if I leave, my room will be occupied by my brother, and you want to get it first?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Li Cuicui's face. There were only three rooms in the Su family. Su Jincai, his wife Guo Xiu and their son Su Huang lived in one room, Su Luo lived alone in one room, and Su Sheng and Li Cuicui lived in one room.
Li Cuicui likes Su Luo's room better and has always wanted it.
Seeing that she was about to be kicked out, she couldn't wait to move to that room and let Su Huang live in their original smaller house.
Su Luo continued, "Brother, don't think I don't know. The old house you cleaned up for me was my aunt's old house. The village chief originally wanted to give it to me. You just overheard it and came to flatter me, saying that you fought for it for me in front of the village chief. Su Lili told me a long time ago that her father wanted me to live in the house at the entrance of the village, which happened to be our Su family's."
Su Sheng had a guilty look on his face. He was exposed in front of others. He looked unhappy. He stiffened his neck and said, "Didn't I really speak well of you in front of the village chief? If I hadn't begged, you might not have lived in the house! Your aunt is also my aunt. I don't have a house for myself, so why should it be your turn? Didn't I give you this house?"
Su Luo sneered, "The house belongs to my aunt, she can give it to whoever she wants, it's not our turn to argue here, and you shouldn't take credit for the house in front of me. You helped me a few times later, but when did I not return the favor?"
Li Cuicui stopped talking.
Su Luo said: "When I gave birth, my sister-in-law asked her mother to deliver the baby, but she took away the two pieces of meat that Aunt Niu gave me to replenish my body. Haven't I repaid her for this kindness?"
Su Sheng didn't know about this. He looked at Li Cuicui, who turned her face away guiltily. She said without confidence, "Aren't you tired of delivering your baby in the middle of the night? My mother is so old, and she boiled water for you and delivered three children. Do you know how hard it is to deliver them? If it weren't for my mother, you might have died!"
Su Luo sneered, "Yes, come and deliver my baby. I was dying in bed. You searched my room and took away all my previous belongings. I even cut the baby's umbilical cord myself."
Li Cuicui stopped talking.
Su Luo looked at Su Sheng again: "What do you mean by often helping me? Big brother, you have only come here twice and brought me vegetables twice. I want to ask you, where did those vegetables come from?! Didn't my mother ask you to give them to me? I guess, she asked you to bring me more than just vegetables, right? What about eggs? Whose stomach did those eggs she asked you to bring me end up in?!"
Li Cuicui and Su Sheng and his wife couldn't help but blush.
Most people can't help but want to take advantage of this kind of small bargain, but no one will point it out.
Su Luo continued, "Besides these, let's talk about the 1 yuan lucky money my mother asked you to bring me last year during the Chinese New Year. Where did you hide it for me?"
"Didn't I give it to you? Didn't you take money last year?" Su Sheng retorted with his neck stiff.
Su Luo laughed angrily: "Yes, you gave it to me, 5 cents, and told me that your factory had issued bonuses and it was New Year's Day, and you were worried that my children and I wouldn't have enough to eat, so you came to give me money. I was so moved that I burst into tears, and I almost kowtowed to you. Brother, don't you feel guilty about taking this money?"
