"Okay, okay, what's the fuss? We're going to eat soon!"
Mrs. Zhang quickly talked to Xi Ni and stopped the topic.
To their surprise, Su Ruyi did not continue to pester today.
Soon the vegetables and rice were cooked. The whole pot was poured into a wooden basin and brought to the table. Water was added to the pot and chopped wild grass was added. Then a bowl of bran was dug in and cooked.
The children have already brought the dishes and chopsticks to the table.
It was still dark at this time, so I took advantage of the last light of the day to eat in the yard.
Liu Cuier took a big bowl, scooped out a bowl and handed it to Da Lang. Without her needing to say anything, Da Lang entered the room with the bowl. This bowl was for Lu Duotian.
Then he served meals to the rest of the family one by one.
When Su Ruyi was filled with it, she paused and said in a timid tone: "Do you scoop it out yourself or should I scoop it out for you?"
She just asked casually, and she always scooped Su Ruyi's rice by herself, because she was afraid of suffering a loss or missing a grain of rice.
Su Ruyi said: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
Liu Cuier paused, picked up the bowl, stirred the spoon in the basin twice, struggled a little in her heart, and scooped out more rice for Su Ruyi, fearing she would make trouble.
Su Ruyi took the bowl with a straight face and put it in front of her without moving.
When everyone had served their meals, Su Ruyi spoke.
"I have something to say."
The five children, who were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs and ready to devour, obediently put their rice bowls back on the table.
Su Ruyi: "..."
The words of the original owner were really intimidating, and no one dared not listen.
Ms. Zhang frowned and felt a little nervous. This woman wouldn't want to talk about her package, would she?
She put away the package she finally snatched from her hand yesterday. The money inside belonged to the Lu family. If this woman wanted to go back, the Lu family would starve to death.
She raised her voice and said, "I also have something to say today!"
But at this moment, Dalang came out dejectedly with a bowl in hand. He carefully placed the bowl on the table and said in a low voice: "Grandma, mother, father, he won't eat..."
Liu Cuier, who has a bad temper, immediately shouted: "Don't eat? What else does he want to do if he doesn't eat? Starve to death?!"
He picked up the bowl with one hand, strode into the house with a strong stride.
Soon Liu Cuier's loud rebuke was heard in the room: "Eat! Who are you pretending to be pitiful for? Why don't you want to eat meat if you don't want to eat glutinous rice? There are enough things at home every day, and you still want to cause trouble! Do you mean it? You don’t want people to live, do you?!”
Mrs. Zhang frowned and glanced at the children, then whispered: "Eat, go back to the house and sleep after eating!"
A few little ones buried their heads and started drinking porridge from their bowls.
Su Ruyi looked at the room where the sound came from, feeling very uncomfortable.
She knew that Liu Cuier had good intentions and wanted to let her husband eat, but the way she spoke...
To put it nicely, it's a way of provoking generals; to put it worse, it means not caring about the other party's life or death.
How could a grown man who was bedridden and unable to work endure such stimulation from her? Lu Duotian was a very responsible person, so he felt so painful and ashamed after hearing her words like this.
Moreover, Lu Duotian was not showing his temper by not eating. He probably felt that he was useless and that eating would be a waste of rations, and he wanted to leave it to the rest of the family.
Liu Cuier scolded her for a while, but Lu Duotian didn't say a word.
Finally she came out angrily with an empty bowl, threw the bowl on the table, sat down and started to slurp the rice.
Su Ruyi said: "Mom, don't you have something to say? You say it first, and I'll say it later."
Everyone looked at her in surprise, has this matter not passed yet?
Mrs. Zhang put down her bowls and chopsticks, and Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu also put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Several children were hesitating, and Mrs. Zhang said: "Eat yours!"
The children lowered their heads and started eating again, eating faster. They were afraid of the atmosphere at the dinner table and wanted to go back to the house and hide after eating.
"Then I'll say it," Ms. Zhang secretly encouraged herself in her heart, "let's talk about it today, Su Ruyi, I know you look down on our Lu family, and you want to find another man to live a good life. I'm waiting for you right there, right? Old lady, I won't stop you. You can leave if you want, but don't even think about taking away a single copper from the family, and Dan'er. Dan'er is the daughter of my Lu family. You Don’t even think about taking it away!”
Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu looked at each other and then lowered their heads.
Oh, these are the same words. My mother-in-law has said them eight hundred times.
But there are differences.
My mother-in-law used to say it when she was so angry during a quarrel. Her tone was different, fierce and vicious.
But now she actually said it calmly, but she still felt that her momentum was not that strong.
Su Ruyi was not afraid of what she said. No matter what her mother-in-law said, she could stay in the Lu family and have a leisurely meal.
So the two daughters-in-law didn't take it too seriously.
"I do not go."
Su Ruyi said it with certainty every word.
Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu raised their heads and looked at each other again.
Sure enough, it's still the same.
Mrs. Zhang was not too surprised. They had been fighting together for four years. How could she not know what kind of character Su Ruyi was?
She must not take the loss. She will not leave until she gets the money today.
She said with a dark face, "If you don't leave, just stay at the Lu family!"
Don’t even think about taking away a penny anyway!
Su Ruyi said: "Mom, after you finish speaking, I will speak?"
Mrs. Zhang remained silent. She was worried, fearing that this woman would say something troublesome.
Su Ruyi said: "Mom, I have figured it out this time. It was my fault in the past and I did something wrong. I will apologize to you first."
As she spoke, she left the bench, stood next to her, and bowed seriously to Mrs. Zhang.
At the dinner table, the adults sitting and the children standing all stared at her blankly, and even started to panic.
She returned to her seat and sat down.
"Mom, this is my home, I won't go anywhere."
She stared into Zhang's eyes and repeated seriously.
She hopes to have a family.
When she was still working as Su Yiyi in modern times, her parents died early.
She longs for the warmth of family and hopes to find a man who loves her wholeheartedly and start a new family.
When she met her first love, she thought he was the destined one, and she gave her whole heart to that man without reservation.
Later I found out that he was a scumbag.
Her first love caused her great harm. Since then, she has stopped touching relationships and put all her thoughts and efforts into her career.
Men, money is not important!
Are you unhappy if you have money?
She gritted her teeth and started her own business, starting from a roadside stall to setting up her own company and then opening a chain store.
You have a successful career at a young age. Only you know the hardships, and only you know the happiness and achievements.
She has become one of the best among her peers, with financial freedom, a fully paid-up garage, and the ability to eat whatever she wants, buy whatever she wants, and go wherever she wants.
Money is no longer a problem. She is too short compared to the top and too rich compared to the bottom. She can't buy a plane or a yacht. Fortunately, she is not too interested in that kind of luxury.
There is no need to calculate normal living expenses, and she is too lazy to count the deposits in her bank card.
In a blink of an eye, she was already in her early thirties, and suddenly she felt that life was a little boring, as if she had some shortcomings.
