"I either quit or applied for unpaid leave. I am no longer suitable to stay in my original company. I have been at home for half a month and I have no salary this month."

Zhao Susu said indifferently, then stood up, sat on the sofa not far away, and said to the kitchen, "Lili, come out and eat quickly."

At this time, the old lady of the Zhao family was still staring at Zhao Susu, her sparse brows wrinkled into a big pimple, and Zhao Yahe was the same.

The sad expression on her face had long disappeared, and looking at her aunt who seemed like a different person, Zhao Yahe's face actually had a hint of mystery that did not belong to this age.

Then the room fell into a somewhat eerie silence, where it seemed that even the heartbeat could be heard, and of course, the sound of Zhao Tianci smacking his lips seemed even louder.

The voice sounded a little upset.

Zhao Susu's eyes flashed, and she felt that she seemed to have changed a little too quickly, but she was not young, and there was no need for her to be so cautious at this age.

Thinking of this, Zhao Susu's eyes deepened little by little. Today was just a process of testing.

She wanted to see how the Zhao family would accept her changes, to what extent they would accept it, to what extent they would be suspicious, and what they would think. How could she know if she didn't try?

But his voice softened, "Mom, eat first. After dinner, I want to discuss an important matter with you."

Hearing this, the old lady of the Zhao family finally withdrew her staring gaze.

The hand on his knee touched the bell.

After a few breaths, Zhao Yahe picked up the chopsticks to eat, still looking at Zhao Susu, her eyes full of confusion.

She knew her aunt best. It could be said that she almost grew up in her aunt's home. However, after she was ten years old, the Feng family no longer welcomed her.

But I spent a lot of time with Zhao Suqin before I was ten years old, but I had never seen her like this.

Zhao Yahe knew that she had an early memory, and in fact, she was very different from her peers.

Of course, that was her own secret and she would not tell anyone else, but the aunt in front of her made her a little confused.

Why does it feel like my aunt has become a different person? No, it shouldn't be said that she has become a different person. It should be said that my aunt is now a different person in the Zhao family.

Because she was like a dog in the Zhao family before.

She brought things here in big and small bags, and after arriving here she had to do housework for their family, wash clothes, and cook. She also kept herself by her side, and there was never a shortage of delicious food and drinks for her. She could eat everything that Xiaowu brother couldn't eat.

If this happened in ancient times, then her fourth aunt would be the most filial and loyal daughter in the world. None of her three aunts did as well as she did. Of course, those three aunts didn't marry well, and they weren't as capable as her, the fourth aunt.

But no matter how majestic my aunt is outside, she is just like a dog and a servant in the Zhao family.

Others would think that someone like her who contributed to her mother's family would be very popular there and would be treated like a idol. But the reality was just the opposite. Her grandmother never treated her as an aunt.

But she wouldn't be stupid enough to tell others, and since both parties are willing to fight and be beaten, she would be happy to see her aunt's consent.

But today seems to be different...

Zhao Yahe quickly lowered her head to eat, hiding all her thoughts.

The rest of the meal went on peacefully. Du Li thought that the old lady of the Zhao family would get mad as usual and either kick her or slap her.

Her mother-in-law is different from other mothers-in-law. Other mothers-in-law treat their daughters as treasures, but her mother-in-law treats her daughter as grass, or even as a dog.

When he's happy, he'll smile. When he's unhappy, as he's in his forties, he'll slap you in the face without mercy.

And today, there was obviously something wrong with the four aunts. She thought they were going to fight, but unexpectedly, they were so calm.

She quickly sat down and ate.

So the meal went very smoothly. After the meal, the old lady of the Zhao family did not ask Zhao Susu to wash the dishes and mop the floor as usual, but called her into her room.

An hour later, Zhao Susu walked out of the old lady's room with a calm expression. Although her steps were steady, upon closer inspection, one could see beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and forehead, and her hands were tightly grasping the strap of her shoulder bag.

Zhao Feng was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he saw her come out, he raised his eyelids and then continued to lower his head, seeming not to care at all.

Zhao Yahe was standing at the door holding two books, obviously waiting for her.

Zhao Susu stopped walking, then Zhao Yahe raised the book in her hand and said with a smile, "Aunt, I just saw these two books by chance. I thought they were lost. I remember the lower volume is on the bookshelf in your bedroom. Remember to bring it to me next time you come."

Zhao Susu was stunned for a moment, and a chill passed through her heart. Don't underestimate the Zhao family. This little white lotus is trying to trick her.

She frowned and said unhappily, "Your memory is not as good as mine. You thought the first and second volumes were lost, but you burned the third volume in the fire. Where can I get it for you?"

Zhao Yahe stared at Zhao Susu, and was stunned for a moment. Then she patted her head embarrassedly, and then said with a smile, "Ah, aunt, you see my memory is not as good as yours. Now that I remember it, it really made me angry. Then I will go to Xinhua Bookstore another day to see if they can sell me the second volume separately."

He still seemed very depressed when he said this, and then he looked up at Zhao Susu.

Zhao Susu curled her lips and sighed, "If it was before, I could still help you, but unfortunately now my aunt doesn't even have a job, so you should try your luck."

After saying that, Zhao Susu quickly walked to the door, pushed it open, and then walked out of the Zhao family's yard with big strides.

The Zhao family courtyard is quiet and elegant. In fact, it is several times better than the Feng family courtyard in the base compound.

But there is always an uncomfortable atmosphere here, and an inexplicable and unspeakable emotion. In short, Zhao Susu always leaves here feeling very uncomfortable every time she comes.

The same is true this time.

At this time, the old lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Lan, was standing in front of the window of her bedroom, watching Zhao Susu's figure disappear outside the yard, and then she withdrew her gaze.
