Shi Liu set out early this time and arrived home just in time for lunch. Seeing her daughter coming back, Su Sanlan hurriedly got up and went back to the house to get some fine grains, intending to make a good meal for her daughter, while the others continued to drink their corn porridge.
Shi Liu looked at Su Sanlan's hurried figure, and her heart warmed. She followed Su Sanlan to the kitchen, then put down the backpack and said, "Mom, I bought a big pig's head and 20 kilograms of pig skin this time. Let's make pig head and pig skin jelly. I'm craving it."
Su Sanlan gasped in horror at the giant pig's head and quickly closed the kitchen door. "Silly girl, if you want to eat some, buy some and I'll make it for you. Buying so much will only benefit those outsiders. If they get picky about food, they'll want to suck our blood in the future."
Although Shi Liu felt that Brother Shi and the others were not ungrateful, he had to admit that what Su Sanlan said made sense: "A little bit of kindness is repaid with a peck of rice." Once the other party develops the habit of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor, it will be difficult to change them.
Seeing her daughter accepting her advice, Su Sanlan tapped her head with her index finger and said, "You're just too generous. After the pork head is cooked, keep three pounds of it. Give one pound to your eldest uncle, third uncle, and uncle's family, and keep the remaining two pounds for your family to eat slowly. It's winter now, and meat won't spoil for a while. Take all the remaining pork head meat back. Oh, and don't forget to give a few pounds of pork head meat to Uncle Wang at the meat processing plant."
"Isn't three pounds too little?" Just as Su Sanlan said, the pomegranate was as big as the gap between her hands. She felt that three pounds was really too little. The more than ten people in the old Shi family could not even eat a few bites of the meat before it was gone.
"It's quite a bit. These days, just having something to eat is good, and even meat is a life of luxury. Remember, when the time comes, no matter who asks, just say that our family helped with the cooking, and the three pounds of meat was just the labor fee."
"Mom, why don't you leave some more? I mainly want you to eat more."
Shi Liu usually had plenty of meat to eat. Su Sanlan truly loved her and wanted her to eat more meat and take good care of herself. After all, Shi's father had passed away early, and she was the only woman to support the family. Su Sanlan's health wasn't great, and she was likely to have all sorts of ailments as she aged.
Su Sanlan was so touched that her eyes were red. "Mother doesn't need this snack, you can keep it and enjoy it slowly. You can also bring some pork skin jelly. Mother remembers that you like it the most. Unfortunately, the years have been bad, so Mother didn't make much."
At this moment, Shi Liu suddenly felt that she might be the original owner. Otherwise, how could there be two people in the world who looked so similar? Shi Liu was moved and hugged Su Sanlan's waist. She wanted to tell Su Sanlan about Shi Dad's news, but she felt it was unnecessary. Shi Dad didn't want her to tell anyone about his affairs. The couple were now separated by the Yin and Yang, and knowing would only add to their troubles.
"In the past, we were able to get pig skin thanks to my uncle. This time, mom gave more pig head meat to my uncle, so that grandma can eat more."
Shi Liu's grandmother is considered to be a rare long-lived person in this era. It is said that the longevity gene can be inherited, so she hopes that her mother Su Sanlan can inherit this gene.
Su Sanlan said reluctantly, "What are you giving? Your uncle has had plenty of good food since he was a child. As for your grandma, she hides away all the good things and doesn't want to eat them. Your grandma gave this pig's head to your uncle and cousin. Shi Liu, listen to your mother. We won't give this pig's head to anyone else. Just keep it for yourself."
Shi Liu knew that what her mother said was the truth, but she couldn't just give her a little bit of pig's head meat for this reason. What's more, her uncle was quite good to their family. She remembered that most of her clothes were defective cloth that her uncle got from the supply and marketing cooperative. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to wear new clothes.
Shi Liu had no choice but to follow her mother's advice: "Mom, we have to let grandma eat more good food and let her live for two more years. Otherwise, when grandma dies, uncle will no longer be close to our family, and any good things he has will probably be sent to my aunt's family."
Shi Liu naturally said this on purpose. As far as she knew, her mother and the other two aunts had a very bad relationship with her aunt, so she guessed that her mother would definitely not want her aunt's family to take advantage of her.
Sure enough, Su Sanlan was furious when she heard this: "Gao is disgusting. If she wasn't my sister-in-law, I would have killed her long ago. Shi Liu, let me tell you, even though your aunt speaks softly and seems to be a nice person, your uncle is actually not as cunning as her. When we first got married, she even instigated your uncle to bully us sisters-in-law."
"There are very few sisters-in-law in this world who like their younger sisters-in-law, so you must not be so nice to your three sisters-in-law. They are all ungrateful. It's useless to eat good things. It's better for you to eat them yourself, so that you can at least gain some weight."
Shi Liu was stunned. Why was it related to her three sisters-in-law again? But she finally understood why her mother always felt that her sisters-in-law would bully her. It turned out that "once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years".
To be honest, if her mother hadn't been suppressing her, her three sisters-in-law might really have wanted to take advantage of her. But now, since her mother was terribly afraid of her, how could they possibly take advantage of her?
After a while, Su Sanlan gritted her teeth and said, "You are right. Your grandma must live well, otherwise all your uncle's good things will go to Gao."
Hearing this, Shi Liu was secretly delighted. Her aunt was indeed very helpful. "Mom, what's wrong with my cousin's health? I heard that he doesn't seem to be very healthy."
"Ah! Speaking of this, I feel that your aunt has sinned. Back then, your aunt gave birth to three daughters in succession. Your grandparents did have some complaints in their hearts, but they probably didn't treat her well. She was still treated much better at home than the other three daughters. But your aunt listened to her mother and said outside that it was all your grandma's fault. If your grandma wasn't incompetent, she wouldn't have given birth to daughters in succession."
When Shi Liu heard this, she was stunned: "No, my aunt gave birth to girls one after another. Shouldn't it be my uncle's fault? How can it be related to beating my grandmother?" According to genetics, the gender of a baby is indeed related to the male's chromosomes, but I have never heard that it has anything to do with the male's mother. Her grandmother is too wronged.
Su Sanlan curled her lips in disdain and explained, "After giving birth to your uncle, your grandmother gave birth to three daughters in succession. Your eldest aunt also gave birth to three daughters in a row, and a boy at the end. As for your second aunt, she was more miserable. She gave birth to four daughters in a row and no sons. Your aunt was fooled by her family and thought it was your grandmother's fault. In addition, she was pregnant with her last child, and she was worried that she would be divorced for not giving birth to a son. So she simply went all out and put the blame on your grandmother."
After listening to Su Sanlan's explanation, Shi Liu felt speechless. She felt that her aunt didn't seem very smart. No normal person could come up with such a trick, right? No wonder her aunt's son, even though he's grown up, still hasn't taken control of the Su family's finances. Even with such a brain, he's still being played around by her grandmother.
Then Shi Liu listened as Su Sanlan continued to complain about her aunt's stupidity: "After your aunt started the rumor, she was afraid your grandmother would punish her, so she hid back in her parents' home. The Gao family is nothing but a bunch of bastards. They knew your aunt was weak due to pregnancy, but they still ordered her to work. As a result, your aunt's already weak body became even weaker. In the end, your cousin was born weak. If it weren't for your grandmother's careful care over the years, your cousin would have died long ago."
Su Sanlan's teeth itched with hatred when this matter was brought up, so she said that she would never let the Gao family take advantage of their Su family. "Because of this incident, the Su family and the Gao family severed their relationship. Your grandmother was still looked down upon because of your aunt's rumors. Even the girls from your eldest and second aunts' families were ridiculed for a time. It wasn't until I gave birth to four sons in a row that the situation began to improve."
