After leaving Aunt Xu's house, Su He estimated that it was about three o'clock, so she lost interest in wandering around and headed straight for the bus stop to go home.
After getting on the bus, it was almost five o'clock when I finally arrived home, after a bumpy ride.
Her family members had all finished work by then, and her younger cousins gathered around her as soon as she entered, wondering if she had bought anything.
Su He felt a little embarrassed, as she really hadn't bought anything.
She forgot that there were so many little ones at home; she should have bought some candy or pastries to bring back with her.
I hadn't experienced it before, so I didn't realize it.
Just as she was awkwardly wondering how to start the conversation, Grandma Su came over.
They were simply dismissed: "Go away, your eldest sister must be tired after walking all day, don't bother her!"
The children obediently scattered, and Su He breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Grandma Su smiled at her and said, "Don't mind them. These little brats are so greedy. If you buy them something once, they'll want to buy it a second time."
Su He smiled and didn't say anything more.
She didn't say how the job search went today. Of course, Grandma Su didn't ask either, probably because she guessed the result.
The busy farming season is over, and everyone finished work early today. It wasn't dark yet, so after dinner, the family sat in the yard chatting.
At this moment, Grandma Su suddenly told her something.
"Zhihe and his wife are back today."
"Huh?" Su He was surprised. "Why are they back now?"
Not to mention Su Zhihe, the busy farming season has just ended, and the grain depot is in the middle of the harvest season, which is also the busiest time. His wife is even busier. As far as I can remember, she has always looked down on the village chief's family. After they got married, the young couple lived in the town and rarely came back.
So why did they suddenly come back?
Grandma Su scoffed, "What else could it be but a toad trying to eat swan meat?"
"What?"
Su He didn't quite understand, but it seemed like everyone else in the family knew.
Seeing that Grandma Su didn't want to talk, Su He looked at her mother, who then explained, "When they finished work, Zhihe and his wife came over, saying they could help you find a teaching job..."
"Huh?" Su He was even more surprised to hear this. Could it be that Grandpa had asked the village chief for help? But how did they find someone so quickly?
Then Grandma Su snorted again, "They have a good idea. They think they can sell my eldest granddaughter off for a lousy teacher's job? They're dreaming!"
Upon hearing this, Su He knew there was another reason behind it.
He immediately asked, "What do you mean by that, Grandma? What do you mean by selling me out?!"
"Ha, Zhihe's wife actually wants you to marry her street hustler's brother? She's got no guts!"
Su He frowned upon hearing this, and understood their plan: to get a job by getting married.
The key issue is that Su Zhi and his wife's younger brother are notorious in their town. Not because they are particularly capable, but because they are notorious troublemakers who indulge in drinking, gambling, and whoring. Over the years, they have harmed many people. If it weren't for their father being a government official, they would probably have been imprisoned long ago.
Such a person made Su He marry her; he's really ruining her life.
Su He was initially a little angry, but seeing that her grandmother was even angrier than her, she suppressed her anger and tried to persuade her, "Don't be angry, Grandma. I don't want that job anymore. Let's ignore her!"
