When it was time to eat, Su He, who had finally gotten off the kang (heated brick bed), ate with everyone this time.
Because there are many people in the family, we ate at two separate tables: one for adults and one for children.
Of course, Su He was an exception. She sat next to her grandmother and ate with the elders as a special case. The rest of the Su family had gotten used to it, since it had always been like this since they were children.
During the meal, Grandma Su specially cooked an egg for her, and the others were already used to it, so they didn't say anything.
My aunt is pregnant and has been craving something lately. When she saw it, she couldn't resist saying something.
"Our eldest daughter is lucky; she was rescued even after jumping into the river. Listen to your aunt, don't think like that again. Look how strong you used to be; you've suffered so much this time. Your grandma even gave you the eggs she was reluctant to eat to help you recover. If this hadn't happened, you wouldn't have had to save those eggs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Before Su He could even speak, Old Madam Su coldly slammed down her chopsticks.
"Even food can't shut you up, how can you be so greedy? My chickens lay eggs, I can give them to whomever I want, if you want to eat them, just have your man get them for you."
Upon hearing this, the uncle immediately scolded the aunt, "Da Ya is sick and needs to rest properly. How can you be so greedy? How can you, as an elder, be so inconsiderate!"
The aunt was so berated by the two that she wanted to cry but didn't dare to, and could only feel frustrated and speechless.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, Su He spoke up, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie, but I didn't jump into the river. I slipped in by accident."
"What? Heya, you didn't jump into the river? You slipped in?" Grandma Su asked in surprise when she heard her say that.
Everyone else looked over after hearing this.
Su He was puzzled when she saw this. So everyone thought that the original owner jumped into the river by himself?
It seems there was a misunderstanding.
So he quickly explained, "Yes, it rained when I came back from the county town that day, and the stone bridge was very slippery. I accidentally fell and fell into the river. Then I think I hit my head. When I woke up, I was at home."
"You slipped on the stone bridge? Goodness, the person looking for you saw you at the pool downstream!" Auntie exclaimed in surprise.
Su He was also a little surprised to hear this, but she still told him what she remembered, "The stone bridge I crossed when I came back from the county and entered the village, I guess I was knocked unconscious and swept across by the water."
“Oh dear, my Heya has suffered so much. I knew Heya wouldn’t jump into the river. The villagers are just talking nonsense. I’ll go and explain to you this afternoon.”
Su He understood when she heard this, so the villagers were all saying that she jumped into the river?
"Didn't the person who saved me see him?"
"You were saved by the village chief's wife. She was washing clothes by the river and was startled when she saw you floating on the water. Luckily, the water wasn't deep, so she went in and pulled you out."
But since others heard him shouting, they probably misunderstood.
Su He nodded upon hearing this, "Then I'll go thank the village chief's aunt when I'm better."
"We've already sent her some gifts to express our gratitude. Just let us know when you see them."
"good."
...
In the end, she didn't eat the egg herself, but shared it with her grandparents. It's true that she wasn't the original owner of the body and didn't really crave eggs.
Grandma Su was unwilling, but Su He said she couldn't eat anymore, so she gave up. However, she didn't eat any herself, but gave the rest to her two grandsons.
The aunt was finally satisfied when she saw this.
As for Old Man Su, he smiled and didn't say a word the whole time. Old Mrs. Su made all the decisions in the family, so he didn't offer any opinions.
After the meal, Su He wanted to help clean up, but before she could even do so, Grandma Su sent her back to her room to rest. Just as she was about to pick up a bowl, her cousin snatched it away, as if afraid she would do any work.
Seeing this, Su He had no choice but to give up.
