Chapter 60: More People Means More Fun: Let's Get Second Uncle's Family Involved Too

While Ji Qingqing and Su Jiao were cooking,

Su An had already rummaged through Su Jiao's schoolbag and Su Jianjun's bookcase, but there were no high school textbooks.

That little deadweight Su Jiao had taken her spot and didn’t even bother to study properly. She hadn’t brought any books home for two or three days.

Damn Su family, now I have to find textbooks elsewhere. How annoying.

As she passed by the downstairs, she looked up at Second Uncle's place. Can't come here without getting something.

She parked her bicycle on the spot and began climbing the stairs quickly. Su Jianguo's family lived upstairs in the next unit.

Usually, older folks live on lower floors with their sons, but Lin Zhaodi preferred climbing stairs over living with Su Jianjun.

When she reached the upstairs, Su Jianguo's family was having a meal.

"Second Uncle? Grandma~"

"Second Aunt, Brother Su Wan~"

Su Jianguo glanced at Su An and ignored her, continuing to eat.

However, Su Bai was happy to see Su An and greeted her as "Sister Su An."

Lin Zhaodi acted as if she were deaf.

Yang Yanfei, Su Wan's wife, seeing that no one was paying attention and feeling the awkward atmosphere, forced a smile and said, "An An is back? Have you eaten? Would you like to join us?"

As soon as Yang Yanfei finished speaking, Su An sighed dramatically, grabbed a bowl and chopsticks, and dashed to the cabinet.

"I haven’t eaten yet. The aroma of this pork stewed with vermicelli is so tempting. Since you're being so hospitable, I won’t be polite. After all, we're family, bound by blood. Even if our bones break, we're still connected."

Su An swiftly grabbed a bowl and chopsticks, squeezed between Yang Yanfei and Su Bai, and skillfully scooped a bowl of pork stewed with vermicelli.

Yang Yanfei's expression stiffened. She was just being polite.

Looking at the faces of her mother-in-law and grandma-in-law, she saw their dark expressions and realized she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.

Su Jianguo looked at Su An, furrowed his brow, and gave Liu Huilan a meaningful glance.

Liu Huilan said sarcastically, "Su An, you married into such a prestigious family, but you can’t even get a meal at your in-laws' place?"

Hearing the word "beg," a flash of darkness crossed Su An's eyes.

No matter what anyone said, she was set on eating this meal. First, because she was hungry. Second, to annoy others.

"Second Aunt, you know my stepmother. She's very harsh. When I was still living at home, you saw how she treated me. She never gave me a good face."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you that knife last time, would I?"

At the mention of the knife incident, Su Jianguo's expression darkened. Damn it, the wound on his head was from Su Jianjun, and the knife was passed by Su An.

Su An seemed to understand what Su Jianguo was thinking, "Second Uncle, don’t blame me. I have my difficulties. Even if I have deep grievances against my father, I still have to consider my brother, right?"

"My brother is still working in the mine. All his household registration documents are kept by the family. Even though ID cards are becoming more common, my brother still doesn't have one. He needs to ask Ji Qingqing for the household registration book for everything!"

"To be honest, in my heart, Su Jianjun and Ji Qingqing aren't as close as my second uncle and aunt, but we don't have much say in a lot of things as the younger generation~"

"That's why, as soon as I heard they were plotting against you, I didn't even finish my meal, flipped their table, and secretly ran here~"

"Su An, you're really annoying!"

"Mom!!!"

Lin Zhaodi was just about to scold Su An for picking at the pork with her chopsticks but was immediately interrupted by Su Jianquo.

Su Jianquo, who had a dark expression, had been giving signals to Liu Huilan. As the direct second uncle, he found it inappropriate to speak directly and wanted his wife to chase Su An out.

However, upon hearing Su An's words, he immediately changed his attitude.

"Look, An An is really hungry, let her eat first, and then we can talk. We are not like Su Jianjun, that heartless bastard."

Since Su Jianquo had already said so much and the bowl was practically under her chin, it was time to dig in.

Su An lowered her head and slurped noisily, burying herself in the food.

Soon, a bowl of pork and pickled vegetable noodles was gone. She continued to scoop from the pot while speaking.

"Yes, yes, yes, I've known since I was little that my second uncle is a good man who values family. He's the polar opposite of my cold-hearted father. That's why my sharp-eyed grandma is so~"

"Slurp, slurp~"

As Su An flattered the whole family, she kept shoveling food into her mouth. She hadn't eaten much at Su Jianjun's place earlier.

Truth be told, not only did others find it disgusting, but she also felt disgusted herself!

It must be said, although Liu Huilan was mean-spirited, her cooking skills were undeniably excellent, especially with the generous amount of oil and flavor.

Seeing Su An eat like a bottomless pit, the fake smile on Liu Huilan's face was barely hanging on, while Lin Zhaodi's gaze was like a knife cutting into Su An.

"Uh, An An, here, have a sweet potato, don't just eat the dishes."

Liu Huilan picked a white-hearted sweet potato from the basket and handed it to Su An. In those days, even though their family's conditions were relatively good, they could only afford to buy meat four or five times a month, and each time, they bought very little.

A sweet potato would fill her up, so she could save room for the meat dishes.

Su An shook her head, "I don't want it, I'll just have some noodles."

She had had enough sweet potatoes in her previous life, both in the countryside and now back in the city, especially the starchy ones. She feared them the most. Eating one would require punching her chest to swallow, all while rolling her eyes, stretching her neck, and kicking her legs.

"Second aunt, you should eat more. I've had my fill of them in the countryside. You've mostly been in the city, so you haven't had many opportunities to enjoy them. They're a good thing, bitter first and sweet later. It's hard to eat, but it makes for easy bowel movements. As the old saying goes, one jin of sweet potato results in two jin of poop, and when you turn around, you'll see there's even more~"

Yang Yanfei was the first to lose her appetite, "Uh, Grandma, Dad, Mom, you guys eat. I'll go check on the child."

Su Jianquo also put down his chopsticks. It was too disgusting; she was definitely a hick.

At that moment, Liu Huilan and Lin Zhaodi also found the pork and pickled vegetable noodles less appealing.....

Su An raised her chopsticks, "So, you're all full? Then I won't be polite."

After Su An was full, Su Jianquo signaled to Liu Huilan to offer Su An a cup of tea, and then asked kindly, "You mentioned earlier that your father and the others were plotting against us..."

Su An lied without changing her expression, "Yes, they want to scheme against you. They've been cursing you non-stop at home, saying that the more than two thousand yuan in the family must have gone into your pockets."

"They called Grandma an old hag who won't die, and called Second Uncle a dog, saying that as the eldest son, according to the old rules, he should get 80% of the family's property!"

As she spoke, Su An leaned closer to Su Jianquo and lowered her voice, "They are preparing to put on a show with the Zhao family to force you to hand over the two thousand yuan."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Zhao family will be showing up at your place in the next two days. When you hear the news, you must act quickly, taking a firm and ruthless stance to deter them, lest they try to frame you in broad daylight!"
