Chapter 26 - She was actually very powerful (3)
Su Dazhi was a bit doubtful. "Really? But Liu Mei has been living at home for so many years…"
"There's a difference between a married daughter and an unmarried daughter. Besides, she was getting benefits from you before. Her small salary isn't enough to support herself. If you didn't give her any money, she won't be able to help out her natal family. Sis is a woman too. I understand Liu Mei better than you. Believe it or not, if Liu Mei really goes back to her parents' home, as long as you don't go to pick her up, she'll definitely come back. As long as you don't act rashly, Sis promises that Liu Mei will listen to you for everything in the future. You'll be her god!"
Seeing that Su Dazhi was wavering, Su Yu said, "Dazhi, you're a man. Are you happy to be dominated by your wife for the rest of your life?"
Dominated for the rest of his life? Su Dazhi quickly shook his head. "Sis, what should I do?"
"There's nothing to do. Let's go home first. Liu Mei doesn't care for you. I care for you."
Su Dazhi's nose suddenly felt sour. "Sis, you're so kind."
Su Yu quirked her lips. Your sister has always been so kind to you, but the way she did it was wrong. That's why she raised an ungrateful person that doesn't know good from bad.
When they got home, the other families in the compound were cooking. It was only the Su family's side that looked deserted.
However, when they saw Su Yu walking in front and Su Dazhi following her with an obedient look, it was as if they were watching the sun rising from the west.
It felt like there was something wrong with the Su family? Xiaozhi, that brat, had stayed home all morning. Su Dazhi had come home with his older sister instead of his wife.
Mrs. Liu, who was cooking outside, saw Su Yu and fiercely spat on the ground. She yelled to Su Dazhi, "Dazhi, why aren't you taking care of your wife. Where's Liu Mei? How can you be such a bad husband?"
Su Dazhi was blindsighted. Oh right, Liu Mei was still waiting for him to pick her up…
Su Yu protectively stood in front of Su Dazhi. "Mrs. Liu, when you bullied me in the past, I endured it for Dazhi and Liu Mei's sake. But you can't bully Dazhi! These days, even a mother-in-law won't interfere in her son-in-law's life. You're a distant relative. Why are you managing their family affairs? Is Liu family's daughter that noble? She needs someone to specially pick her up from work? Our family married a Liu family daughter and ended up bringing back a group of ancestors!"
The other middle-aged women that were cooking nearby all bursted into laughter.
Isn't that so? A married woman wasn't part of her natal family. Why did Mrs. Liu stretch her hands out so far? If every girl was like Liu Mei, they wouldn't be able to marry in the future.
Su Dazhi saw that Mrs. Liu, who had been suppressing him with words all this time, was now speechless because of his old sister. He had a sudden epiphany. The reason his older sister endured Mrs. Liu bullying in the past was for his sake. She was actually very powerful.
Su Yu didn't have the time to bother with what Su Dazhi was thinking. She was really hungry now. As a result, when she walked into their home, she saw Su Xiaozhi and Su Lin sitting inside.
Seeing her coming inside, Su Xiaozhi instinctively got up. "Sis."
Su Yu nodded, then she unlocked the food cabinet and instructed, "Little Lin, go cook. Let's eat simpler today. Cook cornmeal mush, cut a few pieces of the bacon and add that to the mush."
Her mouth felt tasteless from eating cornmeal mush every day. Su Yu smacked her lips. Once she got her salary this month, she would go eat a good meal.
Right after Su Yu said that, Su Lin turned around, pretending she hadn't heard it.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows, then she looked at Su Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, I arranged a job for you. You'll start work tomorrow. Your older brother and I are tired. Cook lunch for us. After we eat, you should rest this afternoon so that you have energy for work tomorrow."
Hearing that he had a job, Su Xiaozhi was extremely happy. He immediately answered, "Okay."
Su Yu said, "Only cook a portion for me, your brother, and yourself. Just the three of us. People that don't work, don't need to eat. I can't have you guys raise someone in vain. If you raise a younger sister in vain, how will Xiaozhi marry wife in the future?"
"Okay," Su Xiaozhi answered with a somewhat red face.
Su Lin immediately turned around and looked at Su Yu with red eyes. "Sis, you've changed!"
"How have I changed? You can't expect everyone in the family to raise you for the rest of your life, right? Even Xiaozhi is going to work. You can't even cook lunch? We can't have Xiaozhi serving the whole family."
