Inside the small western-style building.
Li Cuilan saw Su Wanyan walking in with something in his hand, and said enthusiastically: "It's really hard work Yanyan, I can do the rest."
Su Wanyan said for the first time:
"This milk powder is for Niannian. She is growing, so she should drink more milk powder if she almost eats."
"That's right, I'd better hide it, otherwise it won't be stolen by others." Su Niannian walked upstairs holding the snacks and milk.
Li Cuilan's smile froze. It was hard to say anything. She was the stepmother. It was understandable not to buy it for her.
Su Guozhi came out of the kitchen with two vegetarian dishes and said:
"Yanyan, don't dislike it."
Su Wanyan put the cooked meat on the table, then hugged Jiang Yaya and sat on the bench, gave her a pig's trotter to chew and said:
"Jiang Shen, Jiang Chen, you can eat whatever you want, no need to be polite."
Li Cuilan couldn't stop swallowing her saliva when she saw the meat. She had never been able to eat good food due to morning sickness before. She finally got through the period of pregnancy and couldn't eat good food at home anymore.
She was very greedy, but she couldn't compete with these children when she asked for something. Instead, she put a piece of beef in sauce into Su Niannian's bowl and said:
"Nian Nian, eat more. Your father is old and it is difficult to find a job. Now there is no source of income at home. He has to count the rice every day to drink porridge. It's really hard for Ni Nian."
Su Wanyan realized that these words were meant for her. Behind the scenes, he just wanted to hold Su Niannian hostage and ask her to help him.
She pretended not to hear and said, "Actually, dad makes pretty good wontons. You can try selling them for breakfast."
"Then opening a store also requires a lot of capital. See if you can..."
Li Cuilan was mid-sentence when Su Guozhi interrupted in a deep voice:
"Stop your mind."
Li Cuilan couldn't hold back her emotions immediately and said with tears in her eyes:
"Isn't this for the sake of our family? You don't have a job now. After asking so many people, I either think you are too old or you have to work hard.
Now I only have a total of one yuan and eighty cents left at home. The water and electricity have been cut off and I haven't paid yet. Forget it.
Let me ask you, if the child is born in a few months, it will be winter. He can’t even have clothes, right? "
Su Guozhi immersed himself in eating. He finally realized how miserable the poor and humble couple were. Now they were quarreling over money every day.
Either ask him to ask Su Wanyan for two, or let him work in Jiang Liting's factory.
At the end of the quarrel, she proposed to sell the house and buy a smaller one, and use the remaining money to start a small business, but she was unwilling to do so.
Li Cuilan was still chattering, and Su Niannian kept putting meat into Su Wan's bowl with winks. When the pile at the top was quite large,
Then he started putting it into his own bowl. When he finally couldn't even put it in his own bowl, he started putting it into Jiang Shen's and Jiang Chen's bowls. The main thing was that no one was left for Li Cuilan.
Jiang Shen watched her chubby hands take a piece of crispy fish to him again, and he whispered:
"Thanks."
"It's okay, eat quickly."
Su Niannian picked up the sauced beef plate with one hand, swung out the residual image with the chopsticks with the other hand, and scooped up all the residue into his bowl.
Li Cuilan complained for a long time. Seeing that he remained silent, she stopped thinking.
She lowered her head and saw that the three meat dishes were empty. Only the two vegetables Su Guozhi stir-fried were still intact.
Then I saw that Su Wanyan and the three children had their bowls full of meat, and the three children were munching on the meat.
She felt even more aggrieved and said, "Su Guozhi, how many days have it been since I saw any meat?"
"You talk too much when it's time to eat. Who's to blame?"
Su Guozhi said fiercely, but considering the child in his belly, he still gave her the only piece of soy sauce beef left in the bowl.
Li Cuilan didn't need to think twice to know that it was Su Niannian's fault. She swallowed the beef in one gulp and put it in Su Niannian's bowl without even tasting it.
Suddenly, Su Niannian looked into the bowl and pretended to sneeze loudly:
"Ahhh...Ah Qiu."
She also deliberately squirted some saliva, and then rubbed her nose while suppressing a smile.
Li Cuilan's chopsticks paused in the air. She was so disgusted that she wanted to go crazy, but she endured it and ate the vegetables with a green face.
Jiang Shen looked at Su Niannian with admiration in his eyes. He felt that she was so smart. If he could be more like her, he might be able to avoid suffering a lot at the hands of Zhou Caifeng.
Su Wanyan twitched the corners of her lips. He knew that this sister was smart since she was a child, so he didn't worry about her being bullied. However, with the conditions of the family, he was worried that he would raise her to be as skinny as a stick.
After she finished eating, she carried the baby to Su Niannian's room, only to see that it was empty.
The only bed was a small wooden board with bricks stacked under the west corner and not even a sheet on it. It was incompatible with the magnificent room.
She burst into tears, feeling very sorry for her sister.
Su Niannian pushed her to sit beside the bed:
"Sister, sit down. Aren't you tired of holding her for a while?"
Su Wanyan was afraid of breaking the thin bed board, so he deliberately chose a place with bricks to sit on:
"Nian Nian, when the new house is built, my sister will take you over."
"It's okay. You already have a family. I won't be welcomed if I go, and it will also make your life difficult, so I won't go."
Su Niannian is not very old, but she has experienced the warmth and warmth of human relationships during her few years in the capital, so she is extra considerate.
It was obviously a sad sentence, but it made her say it very unconcernedly.
Su Wanyan felt very unhappy. She put Jiang Yaya on the bed, then took out the seven big stickers in her little white bag and handed them to her:
"Take this and secretly go out to eat when you're hungry, don't let her find out."
Su Niannian pouted her mouth and refused:
"No, you must be having a hard time. That woman's daughter will be back soon. If you want flowers, just spend them on her."
Su Wanyan insisted on hiding a scroll in the crack of the window and said:
"I put the money here. I can get it myself if I need it. It's probably difficult to spend her money."
"Sister, do you still have contact with Brother Hanmu?" Su Niannian mentioned this and sighed softly:
"You were supposed to marry a talented young man like Brother Hanmu who studied abroad. Unfortunately, I feel aggrieved for you now that I think about it."
"I haven't had any contact with him since he went abroad. Don't mention him to anyone in the future. He may get into trouble."
Su Wanyan lowered his eyebrows, feeling lingering melancholy all over his body, and carefully rubbed the red rope on his wrist with his fingertips.
Seeing her lost in thought, Su Niannian shook her slightly and said:
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Su Wanyan endured the soreness in his nose and shook his head:
"It's okay, Xiao Nian, I'm going to leave first. You're not allowed to mention him again in the future, you know?"
After saying that, she hurriedly hugged Jiang Yaya and left.
Su Niannian said depressedly:
"My good little sister Baicai was fucked by a pig after all."
Su Wanyan was always in a low mood. She took her three children to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought a Western bag of milk powder. After paying the money, she said:
"You all have to drink from now on."
Jiang Chen's eyes brightened slightly, and he wished he could hug her and said:
"Are there any for us too?"
"yes."
Jiang Chenzhen said:
"Mom, are you our mom?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because it is said on TV that only Mom is truly good to children, then you must be our Mom."
Su Wanyan nodded funnyly:
"Well, I will love you both well from now on."
At this moment, Jiang Liting's voice came from behind:
"Daughter-in-law, why haven't you come home yet? I've been looking for you all day long."
