Chapter 27: He Is My Son
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
"Just drop it. My grades are bad and my mom already does not want me to continue studying. It's already not bad if I can enter a specialized training school," Wei Min twirled her braided pigtails. Her grades were so bad that there was a high chance that 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.
She 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 was indifferent. She had already asked about the problems that she needed to ask Li Ya Jun earlier. She went 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, nor did he speak to her a single word.
She originally planned to borrow this chance to become more intimate with him. When Su Mian came over, 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 has the chance, she swore to teach Su Mian a lesson that she will remember.
When Su Mian walked into the courtyard of her own home, she heard some noise come from inside.
"He~ Big brother, you have now earned some money. Why not give some to your little sister?"
"Big brother, we had assisted you financially these past few years. Today is quite a good day to remember your roots!"
"Mom, take a look at my big brother. This is from getting used to eating alone!"
Su Mian understood what was happening. It was her grandmother leading her aunts to come and ask for money.
Su Mian's grandmother had already become 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 they all split up in the village, Su Mian's grandmother had always lived with her third uncle. However, Su Mian's grandmother's thoughts did not stop there. She would choose to 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. Continuously 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 there. Only then did she go to the house of the youngest. The youngest son was filial and did not have any burdens as 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 intent was clear. They would not leave if they did not receive any 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 eris. 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 middle school education. Her father had gone to her aunt's houses to borrow some money. However, not only did they not give him a single cent, they even mocked and ridiculed him.
This grandmother of hers was a
He Qin and Su Jiang Hai stood by the side and did not utter a word. They were too honest.
In her previous life, her family lived a bad life. Her aunts did not ever visit their home and would hide far away whenever they see any member of Su Mian's family. They were afraid that Su Mian's father would borrow money.
In her previous life, after He Qin had died, her grandmother had paid a visit to ask her father for some money.
Su Mian placed down her bag. She decided to have a good debate with them. Otherwise, who knows what her aunts would do when her father actually earns big money?
"Grandmother, you are already quite old. Our family has already been divided for 20 years. Three aunts have also been married to different families. You brought three aunts today to ask for money, whose money are you asking for?"
"D*** girl, your father is my son. Since he earned some money, he must give it to me!" grandma Su pointed at Su Jiang Hai while speaking as if justice was on her side.
"You finally know that he is your son now. In the earlier years, 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, it's fine to support you, but why should he support them?"
"Your father is the eldest. He must support them!"
