Chapter 25 - She was actually very powerful (2)
Of course, she couldn't say her real thoughts to Director Xu.
She righteously said, "Director, my heart is in the factory. I have no other thoughts. I haven't even repaid the factory yet, how can I have thoughts about other things? Comrade Gu Guozhi is a high-minded comrade. Once he knows my thoughts, he'll definitely understand me and wait for me. If he can't wait and marry someone else, that can only show that we're not on the same page and can't be revolutionary comrades."
"Su Yu, I was so mistaken about you before. You're such a good comrade. There's no one else in the factory with your high-mindedness," Director Xu said with emotion. For the sake of the factory, she was willing to neglect her lifelong matter. How high were her principles?
Su Yu shly smiled. She couldn't help it. First, she refused to marry the original owner's scumbag boyfriend. Second, that Wu Guozhi was pursuing someone else while dating the original owner and wouldn't want to marry her. Anyways, she wouldn't marry Wu Guozhi. She couldn't let herself be the party that was dumped, so Wu Guozhi could only be sacrificed. Anyways, if he married, it meant his ideological consciousness was low.
After Su Yu settled the matter, she left the factory and headed home. She had gone out in the morning and was a bit hungry now.
Right after walking through the factory door, she suddenly remembered something and waited at the door.
Sure enough, shortly after the lunch bell sounded, she saw Su Dazhi hastily coming out.
Looking like a loving elder, Su Yu smiled. "Dazhi, off from work?"
Su Dazhi had been in a hurry to go home to eat. Seeing Su Yu, he halted. "Sis, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me you were leaving the hospital?"
"If I told you, it would have delayed your work. I went to look for Director Xu to try to find a job for Xiaozhi. When Xiaozhi has a job, I'll be able to take care of you more. Look at yourself, you've gotten thinner."
People these years didn't have excess weight to lose, and men consumed a lot of calories with their work. Going hungry for two days was enough to lose weight. Su Dazhi's cheeks looked a bit sunken right now.
Su Dazhi heard Su Yu's words and felt quite aggrieved. His life was worse after marriage.
Su Yu said, "Alright, I'm going home to cook, but in order to stop Liu Mei from separating the family, I won't make a portion for you guys. Just eat out for a few days. Bear with it. By the way, did you ask Liu Mei for money yesterday? She must have felt a bit distressed when she knew you were hungry and gave you money and tickets."
Su Dazhi: "..."
"What's wrong? She didn't?" Su Yu looked at him with surprise. It was a godsend that she had met a stupid brother and and an idiot sister-in-law.
Su Dazhi lowered his head.
Looking heartbroken, Su Yu said, "If she won't give them to you, keep demanding. She can't let a big man like you go hungry. That Liu Mei said you would live a good life after marriage, but she still has me, your older sister, continuing to raise you. As your older sister, it's not a problem for me to continue raising you. But where did Liu Mei take your money? Never mind that she doesn't pay for household expenses. How can she not give your money to you? I think she must have given the money to her parents!"
Su Dazhi clenched his fist in anger, but he didn't know how to vent his anger. He was feeling so stifled that his eyes reddened. "Sis, I did ask, but Liu Mei said…"
"What could she say? All she can say is she'll go back to her parents' home, right?" Su Yu looked as if she knew everything. She had analyzed the situation. Women's thinking in this era was very traditional. They absolutely wouldn't casually mention divorce, so other than crying and making a terrible scene, their only recourse was going back to their parents' home.
Sure enough, she had guessed right.
Su Dazhi looked surprised. "Sis, how did you know? She said that if I didn't listen to her, I would be a bachelor for life."
"What arrogant words. Dazhi, how can you believe such nonsense? I'm a woman. How can I not understand what a woman is scared of? Women are scared of being driven back to their parents' home. With how the Liu family is, if Liu Mei really went back, she would be kicked out within a week."
