“Where can I go? My grades are bad and my mother already doesn’t want me to continue studying. It’s already not bad if I can enter a specialized training school,” Wei Min twirled her braided pigtails. She wanted to get into college, but her grades were so bad that there was a high chance she would have to stay and work at the farm at home.
Su Mian did not continue talking. She made a mental note to find a better time to have a chat with Wei Min. It was not convenient at the moment.
As the three people talked with passion, Zhang Yan Jie could not enter the conversation and could only walk out in anger.
Wei Min stuck out her tongue, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Wei Min already knew that Li Ya Jun liked Su Mian and intended to become their matchmaker. She did not want Li Ya Jun, who was first in their grade, to be taken advantage of by Zhang Yan Jie.
At this time, Zhang Yan Jie carried in two cups of water and placed them in between Su Mian and Li Ya Jun with a slam. Her meaning was clear.
Li Ya Jun still did not raise his head and continued studying.
Su Mian remained indifferent. She had already asked Li Ya Jun about the problems earlier. She went on to find more similar problems to practice.
Zhang Yan Jie angrily glared at Su Mian. From morning to now, Li Ya Jun did not look at her even once, and he did not speak a single word to her.
She originally thought she could use today as an opportunity to become more intimate with him. But because of Su Mian, her plans had been ruined.
At noon after the three people left, Zhang Yan Jie was so angry that she smashed the glass cup on the ground. When she had the chance, she swore to teach Su Mian a lesson that she would remember.
When Su Mian walked into the yard outside her house, she heard some noise coming from inside.
“He~ Big brother, you have now earned some money. Why not give some to your little sister?”
“Big brother, we helped you financially the past few years. Today is a good day to remember them!”
“Mother, take a look at my big brother. He’s become like this from getting used to eating alone!”
Su Mian understood what was happening. Her grandmother had led her aunts over to ask for money.
Su Mian’s grandmother was a widow at 40 years old. Su Mian also had two more uncles. Her second uncle, Su Jiang Tao, was the village chief.
Her third uncle had bad eyesight and did not marry. Originally, after the family split apart in the village, Su Mian’s grandmother had always lived with her third uncle. However, Su Mian’s grandmother did not stop there. She would go to whichever son’s circumstances were better.
However, Bai Yu Lan, Su Hong’s mother, was difficult to deal with. One time, at the beginning of the year, Su Mian’s grandmother walked to Su Hong’s house supported by a cane. All the way until four in the afternoon, they had unexpectedly not given the old woman anything to eat.
With Su Mian’s father being so poor, she did not go to their house. Only then did she return to the house of the youngest. The youngest son was filial and did not have any commitments, thus he was able to accompany the old woman as the days passed.
Su Mian’s three aunts had married into the county. Their new family’s lives were all a lot better compared to Su Mian’s.
When Su Mian entered the room, she saw her grandmother and three aunts sitting on the heatable brick bed. Their intention was clear. They would not leave unless they received money.
Seeing Su Mian come in, Grandma Su’s eyes lit up, “You have returned, second granddaughter. The village people are saying that your father has earned thousands of yuan. Give your grandma and your aunts a few hundred.”
Su Mian let out a cold snort. She remembered the time when they did not have money to pay for her senior high education. Her father had gone to her aunts’ house to borrow money. However, not only did they not give him a single yuan, they even mocked and ridiculed him.
This grandmother of hers was also a troublemaker. Whichever family lived a better life, she would want to stay there.
He Qin and Su Jiang Hai stood by the side and did not utter a word. They were too honest.
In her past life, her family lived a bad life. Her aunts did not even visit their home and would hide far away whenever they saw any member of Su Mian’s family. They were afraid that Su Mian’s family would want to borrow money from them.
In her past life, after He Qin had died, her grandmother paid a visit to ask her father for more money.
Su Mian placed down her bag. She decided to have a good argument with them. Otherwise, who knew what her aunts would do when her father actually earned big money?
“Grandmother, what are you doing at your age? Our family has already been divided for 20 years. My three aunts have also been married to different families. You brought them here today to ask for money? Just whose money are you asking for?”
“D*** girl, your father is my son. Since he earned some money, he must give some to me!” Grandma Su pointed at Su Jiang Hai while speaking as if justice was on her side.
“So you finally admit that he is your son now. In the earlier years when my family was short on food, why didn’t you come and say that he was your son and then give some assistance. My father is your son, then it’s fine to support you, but why should he support them?”
“Because your father is the eldest, so he must support them too!”
