Mrs. Shi brought a large bowl of boiled water to the table. Aunt Su didn't care whether it was hot or not, and couldn't wait to pour it into her mouth.
Su Sanlan's eyes flashed when he saw this. It seemed that this incident was most likely related to relief food. The relief food that was originally promised had not arrived yet, and Su Erhuang's family was going to have no food.
What Su Sanlan could think of, Shi Liu and others naturally thought of as well. The amount of food at home was limited. Although they had eaten well during the New Year, that was mostly the good rice and noodles sent by Zhou Pan, which would be gone after they were eaten. No matter what the relationship between Second Aunt Su and her mother/mother-in-law was, since they had to spend money at least when they came to their house, everyone's faces were not very happy.
Second Aunt Su naturally noticed the change in everyone's expressions, but she was now forced into a desperate situation. Otherwise, she wouldn't even drink the water used to wash the pot. It was because a little meat could at least fill her stomach and save some food for the children. She also wanted to borrow some food from her eldest sister, but the key was that her eldest sister was not in charge of the family and was afraid that she would not have the final say on the food supply.
Shi Liu had often heard her mother complain about Second Aunt Su and First Aunt Su teaming up to bully her, but sisters are sisters, and her mother would always support Second Aunt Su when things got out of hand. With a helpless sigh, Shi Liu handed the remaining half bowl of porridge to Second Aunt Su, who gulped it all down without complaint.
Su Sanlan glanced at her with disdain, but did not stop her daughter from doing that. After all, they were sisters who grew up together. The dirty things they did in daily life were just little girlish thoughts. When it came to the moment of life and death, she really couldn't bear to ignore it.
"Didn't you go back to your parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year? I didn't see you guys skipping meals. How come it's like this in just a few days?"
Su Sanlan thought of her honest second brother-in-law and was worried that he would be easily persuaded and give away the food in the house. If that was true, she would not be able to borrow the food, after all, it was a hole.
Second Aunt Su rubbed her lips and said, "It's all those damned bastards' fault! The village hooligans took advantage of our lack of male heirs and actually climbed over the wall to steal our food. Your brother-in-law and nephew-in-law tried to stop them several times, but they always slipped through the net."
Su Sanlan sneered at this and said, "So you're just going to be the ones being taken advantage of, having your food stolen for nothing?"
Second Aunt Su was so frightened that she quickly shook her head: "No, Niuniu took her son-in-law to report the crime that day, but all the food was eaten by them and there was no way to get it back. Niuniu was so angry this time that she refused to reconcile no matter what and directly sent those who stole the food into the fence."
Thinking of her daughter's red eyes, Aunt Su burst into tears, her heart filled with regret: "Because of this incident, the villagers are very dissatisfied with our family and even refused to lend us grain. If I had known that group of people were so heartless, I should have encouraged my husband to come to the Daqingshan Production Team. How could we have ended up like this!"
Shi Liu didn't expect that her cousin Niu Niu was such a strong-willed person, but it was also a good thing. Cousin Niu Niu was originally invited to marry into the family, and if she didn't stand up for herself, she would probably be bullied to death by others.
Su Sanlan was very angry. When her second sister became ill and could not give birth to a son, the people of the Zhao family started to spread rumors. The head of the Zhao family even forced her second brother-in-law to adopt the second son of the next room. She took the relatives of the old Shi family and went to kill them. In addition, Niu Niu stood up and said that she wanted to marry a son-in-law into her family. That was the end of it.
Su Sanlan looked at her second sister's tearful and snotty appearance, gritting her teeth in anger. She reached out and poked her forehead, "What did I say back then? If you moved to our Daqingshan Production Team, we'd take you in, whether it was Shijia Village or Sujia Village. But you two were so stubborn that you refused to give up those two shabby houses. Now look what you do! You deserve to be bullied!"
Aunt Su was now regretting her decision to the point of her intestines turning green. She thought it would be worth a fortune to have known earlier. "After the relief food arrives, I plan to move to Shitou Village. I wonder if Captain Shi would be happy with that?"
Su Sanlan asked in surprise, "Why don't you go back to Sujia Village?" That's their mother's home, wouldn't it be more convenient?
Second Aunt Su curled her lips and said, "I'm not going back. You know that our mother has always disliked me and thinks it's embarrassing for her that I gave birth to four daughters. If I go back and live closer to her, I will be scolded every other day." She didn't like being scolded, so she didn't want to go through that trouble.
"Hahaha, sorry." Shi Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Second Aunt Su didn't feel embarrassed either. She was used to being scolded. Among the younger generations, only Shi Liu didn't know much about these things. The other children could even repeat the words her mother used to scold her.
When talking about this, Su Sanlan held her head high. It was her mother's fault for not being able to bear children. She gave birth to four sons in a row, but it made her mother vent her anger.
Mrs. Shi felt very sad. It was a good thing that she gave birth to three strong children. Otherwise, she might have suffered the same fate as the second aunt of the Su family. Those people were really cruel. They actually watched the second aunt's family being robbed.
Mrs. Shi Er didn't feel anything. After all, she gave birth to two big fat boys in her first pregnancy, so she would have someone to take care of her in her old age.
Among the sisters-in-law, Shi Sansao's mood is the most complicated. She is wondering whether she should try again with her husband and try to give birth to a son so that she can have someone to rely on in the next three months. However, she has a psychological trauma from the last childbirth. Well, she'd better take it slow.
Brother Shi San could tell what his wife was thinking. His wife was too straightforward, and her thoughts were all shown on her face. "Let's not rush. If you want to have a baby, then have it. If you don't want to, forget it. I think our Sanyue is fine. Besides, Dazhuang and the others are all very sensible. If something really happens in the future, they won't ignore it."
When Second Aunt Su heard this, she almost couldn't control herself from preaching. Fortunately, she finally remembered that she came to borrow grain. However, her Third Sister was really generous and didn't care about this matter. She said that if she wanted to have a baby, she could have it, and if she didn't want to, it was fine. How ridiculous!
Su Sanlan glanced at her second sister's trembling mouth and rolled her eyes in annoyance. It didn't matter whether she wanted to have children or not, the Shi family was not without grandchildren anyway. Besides, she gave birth to four sons in one go, which was worthy of the ancestors of the Shi family. In other words, she was very proud and not afraid at all.
Aunt Su talked in a roundabout way and finally turned to the matter of borrowing grain.
Su Sanlan raised her eyebrows and said, "No! I don't believe those people don't have any food at home. If they didn't, they would have starved to death long ago."
"But they won't give it to you, and you can't find it even if you search for it." Aunt Su knew that they had food, but they just wouldn't give it to you, and there was nothing you could do.
