Upon seeing Su Jiaojiao, Su Xiaolong couldn't help but vent his resentment.
"Xiaolong, what... what did you just say?"
She grabbed Su Xiaolong's arms with both hands, her face full of disbelief.
Was she just hallucinating?
Su Xiaolong just said that Su Nianxue's family has everything?
What exactly does this "what" refer to?
"I like the TV at my older sister's house, but she won't give it to us." Although Su Xiaolong had been beaten up, he was still resentful.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw his second sister, who loved him the most, he couldn't help but tell her about the grievances he had been holding in.
Su Jiaojiao, seemingly oblivious to his indignant gaze, turned to look at Wang Lanhua and said,
"Mom, did you just mean that Su Nianxue's family bought a TV and a washing machine?"
Wang Lanhua nodded.
"Is this some secondhand item you bought somewhere?"
"It's brand new, I've checked it carefully!" Although Wang Lanhua also hoped it was a second-hand item she found elsewhere.
But reason told her that this was impossible.
These TVs and washing machines have only been on the market for a short time, and hardly anyone in the surrounding villages has bought them. Who would be willing to turn such valuable appliances into secondhand goods?
That family must be incredibly wealthy!
I'm afraid you need to be a legendary "ten-thousand-yuan household" to qualify, right?
Silence fell over the room.
After a long while, Su Jiaojiao finally loosened the handkerchief that she had torn out of shape in her hand. "Mom, it's okay!"
After I get married, I'll have Zhiguo buy a set to put at home.
"When you want to watch TV, just come stay at our house for a few days."
Wang Lanhua said with a joyful expression, "Good, good, it's still our Jiaojiao who is so filial."
"Second sister, do we have to go to your house just to watch TV? How far is it?"
Why don't you give us this TV? We can watch it from home, wouldn't that be great?"
He had already decided that once his family got a TV, he would definitely go to Fatty's house to show off and make the other kids in the village envious of him.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiaojiao's face darkened, and she looked at him with disdain.
"Su Xiaolong, did you eat garlic today? Your breath is so strong."
Do you know how much it costs to buy a television?
Even if I sold you, I still couldn't afford it.
"You're so young, but you've got quite the nerve, always asking people to give things to you. Why don't you just fly to the moon?"
"Isn't that what Mom said?"
"I'm the boy in the family, and you and my older sister are girls. If you have something good, you should take care of me and my brother." Su Xiaolong said this with a straight face.
Wang Lanhua immediately felt a little embarrassed. "Jiaojiao, your brother is still young and doesn't know any better. Don't take it to heart."
In the past, Su Jiaojiao wouldn't have pursued this matter.
But since the conversation has already reached this point, she has to make her stance clear.
After all, she will soon be a married woman like Su Nianxue. "Mom, if you ask me, you spoil them too much."
They're all grown up, yet they're so immature, always asking others for things.
With this kind of behavior, what will become of him when he grows up!
Su Jiaojiao is not like Wang Lanhua; she wouldn't have any good stuff that she would want to take back to her parents' home.
She didn't want the two Su brothers to end up like Wang Fugui.
Despite being perfectly capable, he was lazy and ignorant of farming, only knowing how to leech off his five older sisters.
In her opinion, wouldn't it be better to keep all that money and good stuff for herself?
"Jiaojiao, what you're saying is really harsh. He's your own brother, from now on..."
Upon hearing her criticize Su Xiaolong like that, Wang Lanhua couldn't sit still and immediately started lecturing her.
But who is Su Jiaojiao? As soon as she uttered the word "afterwards", she knew what Su Jiaojiao was going to say next.
She interrupted her impatiently, "Okay, Mom, stop bringing up those old stories."
You haven't said it yet, but I'm already tired of hearing it.
I may not be as precious as a boy, but I am still your biological child.
I don't expect you to treat everyone equally, but please show me some care and concern.
Don't keep asking me to support your family anymore.
You know that Zhiguo's family has always looked down on me, because they think I'm from the village.
If I send more things back to my parents' house, do you think I could stay there any longer?
After all, he was her own son, and Wang Lanhua's displeasure quickly turned into helplessness.
"Alright, Mom won't say any more."
But you still need to think about your two younger brothers in the future, don't be like that ungrateful Su Nianxue.
Even though her family was doing so well, she couldn't bear to spend a single penny of it to help her parents' family.
"Mom, you should visit their house more often when you have time. I don't believe she can be as stingy as a miser and not spend a penny."
When Su Jiaojiao heard that she was living such a good life, she felt a little envious.
But then I thought, no matter how capable Gu Yanbai is, he probably can't compare to their Zhiguo.
He's from the town, after all. If he's so capable, he should move to the town too.
What ability can someone have if they just stay in this remote rural area?
"You think I don't want to?"
But your dad's so proud. Last time I just took a piece of tofu, and...
That brat, her heart is as hard as iron.
Wang Lanhua felt a burning hatred for Su Nianxue whenever she mentioned her.
"Someone is cursing you!" Gou Dan said with certainty after seeing Su Nianxue sneeze several times in a row.
"They're not just cursing me, they're probably plotting against me now!"
She certainly knows Wang Lanhua well; who knows what she and Su Jiaojiao are saying about her right now!
"Sister-in-law, I heard your stepmother came to our house? Did she bully you?" Gu Yanliu hurriedly ran into the main room.
"It's alright! Do you think I'm the kind of person to suffer a loss? She's just here to deliver a message, that's why she doesn't dare to argue with me."
"What? What message is it?" Gu Yanliu asked.
"Her daughter is getting married, and she wants me and your brother to go back for the wedding banquet!" She's even counting on her to help Su Jiaojiao make an appearance!
But she didn't even consider that, given her relationship with Su Jiaojiao, she must be out of her mind to be so eager to get closer to her.
"Oh, you're attending a wedding!"
When Gu Yanliu heard that she hadn't suffered any loss, she felt relieved and expressed that she had no interest in the Su family's wedding banquet.
When Gu Yanbai returned, he saw three heads—two adults and one child—huddled together, whispering to each other.
This is when the three of them are discussing something interesting!
Yeah, I knew buying a TV was the right decision.
To prevent them from constantly complaining about being bored and causing trouble everywhere.
However, there are also downsides.
When they saw him return, the two women only glanced back at him before their attention was quickly drawn back to the television.
Gu Yanbai...
They're treating him like he's invisible!
"I haven't eaten yet!" He walked up to Su Nianxue and said loudly on purpose.
"Oh, I've kept it for you! Go get it from the pot yourself!" Su Nianxue said without turning her head as she was watching the exciting part.
"Hey, whose money fell? And quite a lot of it!"
"Brother, aren't you being childish? My sister-in-law and I walk through this house eight hundred times a day. Do you think we don't know whether we have money or not?"
