Title: Su Yu’s Promotion Record in the ‘60s
Translator: Fuyu
Chapter 10 - Wahh, Big Sis doesn’t love me anymore (2)
As for Su Lin, Su Yu didn’t have the slightest intention of taking care of her. In this era, many fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls were already working to earn money to support their families. Only families with better conditions were able to pay for their daughters to go to school. For a poor family like the Su’s, it was simply a miracle that Su Lin could still go to school.
And this miracle was achieved through the sacrifice of the original owner. She did exhausting work and cut back on her own food and spending in order to send Su Lin to school.
The other members of the Su’s weren’t healthy either, but at least they looked normal to the people of this era. In contrast, the original owner's physical condition could be described as severely malnourished even by the standards of people of this era. For the original owner to be seen as severely malnourished in this era of widespread malnutrition, it showed how weak her body was.
When Su Yu looked at herself in the mirror of the factory’s lounge, she almost didn't want to see her face. This body was so skinny that the cheeks were sunken, the skin was dull and had a yellowish complexion, the hair was withered and looked like straw. There wasn’t much flesh on this body.
Fortunately, the owner's facial features were still very good with big eyes, a high nose, and full lips. If this body was raised well, it would belong to the sort of beauty that was very impressive. Unfortunately, it had been wrecked to the point that no beauty could be seen. She had to eat meat. She must eat more meat.
After tidying up, Su Yu hurriedly went to her work station. She had to settle down and get on with her pursuit of improving her life. Work was the foundation for her being able to eat. Nothing could go wrong.
At this moment, the workday hadn’t started, and the other employees were chatting while preparing for work.
Seeing that Su Yu came so early again, the others curiously looked at Su Yu. Su Yu had come to work early in the past two days, which was very unusual and strange for her. However, everyone knew that her sibling and her sister-in-law were quarreling to separate and knew that this was the reason behind her coming in early.
They were filled with strong emotions. It seemed that Su Dazhi and his wife had really gone too far this time. They had made even a good-natured person like Su Yu angry.
At this moment, Su Yu didn't care what everyone was thinking. She was thinking about how to make her life a little better. This body was already very weak. The original owner had been using strong willpower to hold on, but she couldn't. Su Yu thought it was better not to suffer this kind of sin. She doesn't want to get sick from exhaustion.
Moreover, she didn’t have the mentality to want to persist working with her weak body. The crucial point was that there was no future to this. The only reward was a lifetime of being a spinner. It was the archetype of working like a dog. Working more than others, but getting less than others.
Su Yu felt that she had to do something to break her current situation. So in the morning, when everyone was working feverishly, Su Yu gloriously fell on top of the working station.
An uproar suddenly started in the workshop.
"Little Su fainted-"
“Her face doesn’t look good. I can easily tell that her health is bad.”
"Aiyo, hurry up and send her to the hospital. Don't let anything happen to her."
Soon, Director Xu arranged a van to take Su Yu to the provincial hospital, then he had someone notify Su Yu's family.
Translator Ramblings: Can you guess the multiple reasons why Su Yu pretended to faint? The clue is in this sentence, “Su Yu gloriously fell on top of the working station.”
