Although Sui Yuzhu was looking at her aunt, she saw their actions out of the corner of her eye, and she quickly held her hand.
"What are you doing?" Sui Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them with some displeasure. "Are you trying to snatch the candy given to the children?"
Her tone was a little bad, and anyone with a brain could hear it.
Thinking about how her two uncles were cowardly yet took her mother's sacrifices for them for granted, she couldn't have a good attitude towards them.
Lu Mei, who was standing by, naturally heard her bad tone and felt a little unhappy.
But she couldn't scold Sui Yuzhu either, so she just scolded her two sons, "It's just two pieces of candy, haven't you tried them? I'll buy them for you later!"
However, my uncle Song Weijun was a bit stubborn and acted as if he would not give in unless he was given the money.
She doesn't look like an eleven-year-old at all.
Lu Mei was originally waiting for Sui Yuzhu to give her candy, but seeing that she had no intention of giving it, she could only take out two cents and hand it to him, letting him buy it himself.
My uncle Song Weiguo immediately followed.
Sui Yuzhu looked at her behavior and subconsciously turned back to look at Song Xinlan.
There was no expression on Song Xinlan's face, but a hint of disapproval flashed in her eyes.
But it was clear that she had no say.
Lu Mei also glanced at Song Xinlan and said to her, "Xinlan, the pot is about to catch fire, go and take the vegetables out of the pot!"
Song Xinlan responded lightly and turned to leave.
Although Lu Mei was unhappy about the candy incident, Sui Yuzhu was still a child in her eyes after all, so she didn't bother with her and let her sit at the table.
Sui Yuzhu peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed the candy into her aunt's mouth, and then sat down at the table.
Lu Mei kept asking her about her experiences over the years.
Sui Yuzhu narrowed her eyes slightly and told her the story she had told Song Xinlan before.
Lu Mei didn't doubt it at all, and gently wiped away her tears: "When I met your mother a few years ago, she told me that she had found a good family to send you to. Now I really was wrong!"
Sui Yuzhu didn't say anything either.
"So, do you have a place to live now?"
Song Xinlan, who came in with a bowl of food, also looked over when she heard this.
Before Sui Yuzhu could speak, she heard voices outside the door. In addition to the voices of her two uncles, there was also the scolding of a middle-aged man.
Lu Mei chuckled: "Your uncle is back!"
Having said that, he stood up and walked outside.
Seeing this, Sui Yuzhu also stood up.
At the door, the two uncles were lowering their heads, and standing opposite them was a middle-aged man in his forties.
At this moment, he was scolding them.
Sui Yuzhu knew that this must be the grandfather whom she had never met in her previous life.
He was about forty years old, tall, thin and capable, wearing a blue work suit and looking serious.
"Why are you buying candy at dinner time? You're a teenager and you don't act like a boy! When I was your age, I was already out working to support the family! You're just slacking off all day and you have no manners!"
As he spoke, he turned and looked at Lu Mei, "Meizi, I've told you so many times that boys can't be spoiled like this. You're not doing this for their own good, it's..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Sui Yuzhu standing behind Lu Mei.
His expression froze, but when he saw someone was there, he gave the child some face and stopped lecturing him. He just asked, "What is this?"
Seeing this, Lu Mei quickly said, "Do you remember? It's the eldest daughter of Baowang's family!"
Sui Yuzhu also hurried forward to say hello.
Song Defa frowned, looked Sui Yuzhu up and down, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Didn't they say that the girl was given away a long time ago?" he asked.
Without Sui Yuzhu saying anything, Lu Mei had already told him what had happened.
While speaking, Song Defa looked Sui Yuzhu up and down again.
The disbelief in his eyes grew stronger.
It was obvious that he didn't quite believe Sui Yuzhu's casual fabrication.
I have to say that as the only one in the family who earns money, he still has brains.
"How did you find Xinlan?" Song Defa asked again.
Shanghai is a big city after all. It is not easy for a little girl to find another little girl, especially someone they knew when they were children.
This time, Sui Yuzhu spoke the truth: "I was kidnapped by human traffickers before, but was later rescued. They took me in and helped me find you."
As for Qin Yue's family background, she didn't want to tell them for the time being.
Song Defa looked at her, obviously considering the truth of her words.
Sui Yuzhu was not panicked and let him look at her.
Soon, he withdrew his gaze, nodded, and began to walk into the house.
Lu Mei reached out and gently patted her arm, saying softly, "Your cousin-in-law is always a serious person. Don't be afraid. Eat lunch here!"
Sui Yuzhu nodded slightly.
During the meal, perhaps because my grandfather was present, my two uncles were very well behaved.
Lu Mei served her aunt half a bowl of brown rice, picked up some vegetables, and sat on a small stool to eat.
Sui Yuzhu sat next to Song Xinlan.
Song Xinlan kept picking food for her.
It can be seen from the dishes on the table that the family is not well off.
Sui Yuzhu remembered that her mother once mentioned that her grandfather was an ordinary worker who supported a family of six by himself.
My grandmother doesn't have a job and has always been taking care of the children at home.
Later, after my grandfather passed away, my aunt was sent to elementary school and she found a job sweeping the streets.
She has no diploma or education, and is old. Even if she were to work in a factory, no one would want her, so she can only do jobs like this.
The passing of my grandfather made the three women in the family who had been protected grow up quickly. Even the youngest aunt became more well-behaved and obedient, and was able to do things within her ability.
However, the two men who should have taken on the main responsibility were hiding under their protection and becoming increasingly useless.
Sui Yuzhu turned around and looked at her grandfather again.
There is still more than half a year left until 1983. If we protect grandpa well, at least this family can still be supported.
However, she had no memory of the exact time when her grandfather died.
Although her mother took her to visit her grandfather's grave, she never paid attention to the specific time of her grandfather's death.
Thinking of this, she felt annoyed.
If she had known she would come here, she would have remembered it vividly.
