Chapter 134: God, this is so poor!

"It's okay, it's just that my grandpa and his family live a really hard life. The house is shabby and there's not a single decent chair in the house.

There wasn’t even anything to eat in the kitchen. They gave me the best food, but they lived like this. I used to feel at ease and enjoyed it, but I really feel sorry for them.”

Su Mei was really upset, but the reason she was upset was because she felt that someone like Su Xuanhu should not be treated like this.

It's a bit sad to watch.

Furthermore, the love this family showed to the original owner was truly touching and enviable.

Hearing Su Mei's words, Huo Jianguo glanced at the kitchen of his wife's family, which was so simple that the stove was dented and the pot had a corner missing from the edge. He frowned slightly and said:

"Let's get back together and buy something nice for the house.

This room needs some renovation. When you and grandpa were talking in that room just now, I could feel the draft in the room."

"No need." Su Mei refused Huo Jianguo without thinking, she said: "I still have some money, I will think of a way to buy more.

As for the house, I will find a way to compensate them when I get my subsidy next year. I don’t need your money.”

"You're not spending my money?" Huo Jianguo's face darkened immediately: "You and I, and we still have to share?"

"Whether we are together or not, you can't do this for me. Otherwise, how can your mother let my family live in peace?" Su Mei knew that she shouldn't say bad things about Huo Jianguo's mother in front of him, but some things were more refreshing to say directly. Su Mei really didn't have the courage to provoke her husband's family.

When Huo Jianguo went out in the morning, he just took two baskets and brought some food over, but her mother-in-law's eyes were as big as bells.

Su Mei couldn't imagine if her mother-in-law would jump up to 1.8 meters high if Huo Jianguo gave her family money to build a house.

Rather than getting into trouble, Su Mei felt that it would be better to let her parents suffer for a few more months.

With Su Xuanju's personality, she is most afraid of being stabbed in the back. If her mother-in-law spread the word that the Su family has to rely on her grandson-in-law to survive, Su Xuanju would be so angry that she would die on the spot.

So Su Mei didn't want to spend Huo Jianguo's money at all on helping her mother's family.

With her salary, she worked hard for a few months to save up some money. Although she couldn't build a house for her parents' family, she could always do some repairs.

Su Mei thought that since she had said something bad about Huo Jianguo's mother, this man would be somewhat angry. After all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an eternal problem.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jianguo just lowered his head to pick up a few pieces of firewood, then raised his head again and said:

"My mother is a very controlling person. Let's not let her know about this. Grandpa Su treats patients every day and has a little money. What's so strange about him repairing the house?"

"You should leave now!" Su Mei quickly shook her head at Huo Jianguo: "You have been away from home for many years, there are some things you don't know. The reason why my grandfather is so poor is because he dare not make money by using his medical skills.

He was criticized in his early years because of this. In order to concentrate on studying medicine, he lived like this.

If the conditions of this family are to be improved, the younger generation can only be filial and obedient, but they cannot say that he has made money. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, my grandfather will not be able to bear the consequences. "

"I didn't think enough!" Huo Jianguo lowered his head. He did speak in a hurry and didn't think about this.

Huo Jianguo didn't think much about what Su Mei said about his mother's problem. Huo Jianguo knew his mother's character to some extent.

It is a fact that if he really used money to improve the living conditions of Su Mei's mother's family, his mother would definitely not let it go.

But this family was so poor that Huo Jianguo couldn't bear it. He looked around and thought secretly about how to secretly help Su Mei's family.

He is in a good condition now. As long as he takes out a small amount of his savings, he can make great improvements to his daughter-in-law's family. He can't just watch them suffer and turn a blind eye.

Su Mei saw that Huo Jianguo had fallen silent and did not say anything. She was not the kind of person who had a strong dependent mentality, and she did not think there was anything wrong with not spending Huo Jianguo's money.

She thought to herself that no matter how poor she was, it would only last for a year or two. When the college entrance examination was resumed, she would get into a good university. Then when the country opened up the individual economy, she would use the advantage of her rebirth, seize opportunities, and make a fortune. Sooner or later, she would be a wealthy woman.

Su Mei is capable and confident about the future. She has also become a disciple and has a relatively stable job. So she doesn't care about the money in Huo Jianguo's pocket.

She was looking for a man so that they could take care of each other in life, have someone who understands her and can discuss things with her, but she didn't want to rely on Huo Jianguo for everything.

People, if you can rely on yourself, rely on yourself as much as possible, because you are your greatest confidence.

When she has the opportunity to make money in the future, she can make more than Huo Jianguo. Then she can build any size house she wants for her parents' home. Why should she care about her mother-in-law's mood now?

The couple, one adding firewood and the other cooking, each had their own ideas and never discussed the matter of renovating the house for Su Mei's parents' family.

Mei Su cut out all the fat and put it into the pot. After the meat was almost dry, she scooped out half the pot of lard.

After scooping off the oil, Su Mei directly added water to cook the oil residue.

She didn't squeeze out all the oil, but left a small amount. The oil residue is cooked into a soft and crispy texture, and then stir-fried with finely shredded potatoes, which gives the dish a unique flavor.

After frying the potato shreds until soft and picking up the oil residue, Su Mei fried an egg with chili pepper and cooked a vegetable moss soup.

Su Mei thought that her brothers had all been divided out, and there were not many people eating at home, so these dishes were enough for two meals. She didn't want to waste food and make the poor family worse, so she fried two dishes and a soup and put down the spatula.

She was just thinking about adding two spoonfuls of water to wash the pot and going to the field to call her parents and brother back for dinner, when she suddenly heard the voice of her fifth brother Su Shengxue from the yard:

"Mom, I got some meat from the commune yesterday. Please let me eat some meat today. It's been a while since we've had a good meal!"

"Mom knows you're greedy, but the meat is to be saved for the New Year to entertain your sister. She only comes back once a year, and we can't just send her away with cabbage." A tired and gentle voice sounded after Su Shengxue's voice fell.

Then, a gruff middle-aged male voice took over the woman's words:

Your mother is right. Life in the border areas is so hard. When you leave, your sister should take some meat with her. Where can you find food now? You are a boy with thick skin and strong flesh, so you should feel sorry for your sister. Let’s not eat the meat for now!

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, your sister and her family will be here soon, and then we can eat meat together as a family, and have a reunion, right?"

"You talk nicely, we're going to eat meat together, but Su Mei has a big mouth, and once she starts eating, will I get to drink some meat soup?" Hearing that he couldn't eat the meat, Su Shengxue's voice was obviously frustrated:

"Even if I don't eat meat, you can at least get some meat and some grease for me to eat!"

Listening to the family's conversation, Su Mei poked her head out from the kitchen door.

Then, she saw a family of three who were dressed so poorly that it was unbearable to look at them—a family of three whose clothes could only be seen with patches but not their original styles.

My god, this is so poor!
