"Mom, don't worry! I will return it to you as soon as I arrive in Hai City! You know, Jia Jia and I both have jobs, and we have some savings."
Seeing that Yu Lei ignored him, Su Gan held her arm and made a promise.
After all, he is her own son, and Yu Lei doesn't want him to be looked down upon!
She walked to the desk, opened the drawer, counted out ten big unity bills and some bills, and handed them to Su Gan, "You are more than one son. When you got married, we bought you everything we should have, and even found a job for your wife.
"My parents don't favor anyone. They'll give your brother the same amount they spent on you. This money and ticket is for your brother to marry. I'll lend it to you today, but remember to return it when you get home."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll return it to you when I get back!" Su Gan got the money and a smile appeared in his eyes.
After coming out of Yu Lei's room, Su Gan walked out.
He first went to the department store and bought two bottles of wine, two cans of malted milk, a box of tea, and a gauze scarf. These were gifts for the old man, Su Guosheng, and Su Guoyu.
Thinking about how much his family valued his little cousin Lan Guoer, he hardened his heart and bought her a set of bright red bed sheets and pillowcases, to make up for her wedding.
Then he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought five pounds of pork belly, two fish, one pound each of brown sugar and white sugar, two pounds of peach cakes, and five pounds each of rice and flour.
After buying things like this, the hundred dollars he had was soon gone.
Seeing that he had almost bought everything, he carried the things back home.
Liu Jiajia woke up from a nap and felt a little hungry.
She picked up the cup on the table and took a few gulps of water. She hadn't been hungry for a long time since she married into the Su family.
Seeing that Su Gan was not in the room, she felt inexplicably nervous.
She was born in the shantytown of Hai City, and since childhood she and her family were squeezed in a half-meter-high hole in the ground.
Her parents did not have formal jobs and relied on odd jobs to support the family. It was not until she was fifteen that her family saved enough money to buy a small one-bedroom house in the suburbs.
She was the eldest sister in the family, with two younger brothers. Her parents hoped that she would marry into a good family in the future, so they reluctantly let her finish elementary school.
As soon as she graduated from elementary school, she followed her mother Liu to do odd jobs to support the family.
During her time at the Liu family, she never seemed to have a full meal. The good food and clothes always had to go to her younger brothers first. She also had to hand over all her earnings to her mother for safekeeping.
For her, meeting Su Gan is undoubtedly the greatest blessing in her life.
In order to marry her, Su Gan, despite the pressure from Yu Lei and Su Guokai, gave the Liu family a betrothal gift of 500 yuan and also bought three turns and one ring for the Liu family.
The Liu family used this money to help her two younger brothers get married.
Before she got pregnant, she was always worried about everything. She was afraid that her parents-in-law would look down on her, that Su Gan would no longer like her, and she was even more afraid of having to go back to the Liu family and work like a slave.
It wasn't until she learned that she was pregnant with the Su family's eldest grandson that her heart finally settled.
But what happened in the past two days made her anxious again. She was afraid that Su Gan would ask her for money, and she was even more afraid that Su Gan would find out about her helping her parents.
Thinking of the troubles at home, she couldn't help but think of Lan Guoer again.
They were all little girls, so why was she so loved by so many people? Even her always shrewd mother-in-law was on her side without exception!
Why wasn't she born into a family like that? Why weren't those blood-sucking parents and difficult brothers her Lan Guoer's family?
Why! Why... She was so unwilling!
Liu Jiajia was daydreaming when Su Gan came back carrying a lot of bags.
He put the things on the table, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Honey, look what I bought!"
Liu Jiajia looked at the things on the table and thought that Su Kun bought them to please her. Although she didn't understand where he got the money to buy so many things, she was still very happy to see that he was so thoughtful.
She pretended to complain: "Why buy so many things? It must cost a lot of money, right?"
"It's okay, I can earn more money after spending it!" Su Gan spent the money happily and felt very happy now. He sorted out the things on the table.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you! I borrowed another hundred yuan from my mom. Adding the thirty yuan from yesterday, the total is one hundred and thirteen yuan. Remember to pay her back when you get home."
Liu Jiajia: “…”
The money she brought this time was all the savings of the two of them. Su Gan had spent it all in the past two days. How could there be 130 yuan left in the house?
She originally thought that she wouldn't have to spend her own money in Kyoto, and could just go back to Hai City and stay there for a few days, then she could get her salary again and wouldn't have to go hungry.
But this sudden extra hundred yuan in foreign debt caught her off guard! She was instantly overwhelmed by anxiety and uneasiness, her thoughts tangled like a tangled mess.
If Su Gan knew that she had given all her money to support her parents, would he be angry? Would he divorce her? What would her mother-in-law think of her?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She felt the pressure growing greater and greater, as if she were carrying a heavy mountain on her back, making it hard for her to breathe.
Not hearing any noise, Su Gan turned his head and saw Liu Jiajia with a dull look in her eyes and a pale face, about to faint.
Su Gan was so frightened that he dropped the cup on the table without realizing it. He quickly embraced Liu Jiajia and helped her sit down on the bed. "Jiajia! Don't scare me! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
When Liu Jiajia saw the panic in Su Gan’s eyes, the anxiety in her heart was instantly relieved a lot!
That's right! As long as she can hold on to this man's heart, plus the grandson of the Su family in her belly, what does that little money mean? Didn't Su Gan give her the 500 yuan betrothal gift without blinking an eye?
Thinking of this, she seemed to suddenly come alive again and felt more confident.
"I'm fine! I just didn't eat enough at noon, so I'm a little hungry."
Su Gan was relieved. "Then you take a rest first. I'll ask Mom to prepare dinner. I bought some meat and will make your favorite braised pork tonight."
When Liu Jiajia heard that he borrowed money to buy meat for his family, she felt a little unhappy, but she couldn't get angry, so she endured it and nodded.
Su Gan counted the things on the table, put them all into the net bag, and was about to go out.
"Why don't you just take down the kitchen items? Why did you install everything?" Liu Jiajia thought he was confused and reminded him.
Su Gan lifted the net bag and said, "Oh, these are the gifts I bought for my family. Didn't I have no money a few days ago? Now that I have money, I'll give them some."
Liu Jiajia: “…”
So, there's nothing in this for her? And she's even in debt of over a hundred?
She was so angry that she had heart pain! But she didn't dare to get angry because she felt guilty!
