Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Divide the Family Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Divide the Family Listenting to grandma talk about the gossip in the Family Courtyard, Susu was all ears, enjoying the tales, while the little one next to them was curiously staring at the shoe pads in their hands, looking from left to right.

The half-month flew by, and the Lu Family’s braised foods business was booming, leaving Mrs. Lu smiling every day.

That evening, Mrs. Lu had just finished chatting with the neighbors in the Family Courtyard about the latest gossip.

Following behind her were Aunt Wang and her youngest son.

“Susu, your Aunt Wang and her son Wang Dong are here to see you,” she said.

Susu hurried down from the kang to greet them, “What brings you here, Auntie?”

Aunt Wang pointed sowhat sheepishly to her son, “My son Wang Dong was wondering whether he could get so braised food to sell?”

“Sell braised food?”

Susu was a little surprised.

Seeing her reaction, the young man quickly said, “Sister-in-law, I used to trade grain for others, and now I’m not so busy, I thought I might try selling braised goods? It’s alright if it’s not possible.”

“Of course, you can,” Susu nodded, but she laid it out straight, “You can get goods from , but I have people who specialize in selling as well, and they all have their fixed spots for their stalls. If you want to sell, you can’t set up in the sa place as our own people…”

“Sure, naturally, it has to be like that.”

“Alright, as for the purchase, we have uniform prices. For vegetarian dishes, sixty cents, and for at dishes, one dollar and twenty cents. For vegetarian dishes, you get a five cent profit per jin, and for at dishes, fifteen cents.”

Susu wasn’t shy to speak directly and lay out the terms clearly.

She had thought Wang Dong would go ho and think it over before giving her an answer, but to her surprise, he nodded on the spot and said he would start by trying to sell five jin of each the next day.

After discussing business, the Wang mother and son headed ho.

Looking at her composed grandma, Susu couldn’t help being curious, “Mom, how co you didn’t ask why I agreed to let Wang Dong buy goods to sell?”

“Hey, what’s there to ask? You’re smarter than your mother, surely you have your reasons. Besides, the more he sells, the more you earn,” Mrs. Lu said as she got up to scoop water from the pot into the footbath, “Susu, you wash your feet first, Mom will go lock the door.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

…

“Look at our parents, now they don’t even bother with their grandsons and granddaughters anymore, just taking care of their little girl, not even glancing at our house.”

“That’s enough, my little sister got hurt,” respond Brohter Su.

Eldest Sister-in-law Su pinched her husband hard, “Enough what? I’ve never seen parents so biased.”

After a while, hearing the man’s snores next to her, Eldest Sister-in-law Su kicked him out of annoyance, “Such a carefree creature.”

Second branch of Su Family

Second Su moved closer to her husband and complained, “Look at our parents, they only pamper your little sister, not even caring about the grandkids.”

“What are you going on about? My little sister got hurt, didn’t she? Mom looks after the chores that Little Sister cannot do otherwise; would you rather not pay your Second Su her wages?” replied Su Chenghe, originally sleepy, his eyelids fighting a losing battle against slumber, but now irritated by his wife’s constant buzzing. He rolled over to look at her.

“If you didn’t show your little sister such a long face all the ti at ho, would our parents be unhappy? Imagine if your daughter’s daughter-in-law gave her a long face, would you be happy?”

Second Su was montarily lost for words by her husband’s retort but still felt slighted, “Still, it’s not necessary for them to have moved in with her.”

Second Su pouted, “And ever since Little Sister ca back from her divorce, our parents haven’t really bought us anything.”

“Alright, alright, let’s sleep. I have to work tomorrow,” Su Chenghe cut her off.

The next day

Uncle Su and mother, worried about their grandsons and granddaughters at ho, finished their errands and bought two jin of at, cheerfully heading back ho.

“Who knows what state the ho’s been turned into?”

“Mom, with Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Su there, don’t worry,” Su Xianyue replied with a wry smile.

As soon as they entered the alley, they encountered a group of chattering children, among whom were several of the younger Su generation.

“Grandma.”

“Little Aunt.”

A group of children, excited and elated, gathered around, and seeing the at, they happily shouted, “We’re going to have at, we’re going to have at!”

…

Eldest Sister-in-law Su looked at the mother-in-law and little sister-in-law, who were chatting and laughing, and curled her lip, “Little sister, you must have made quite a bit, huh? Look at the new clothes on you.”

Xiao Su Xian Yue quickly looked down and said, “This is new fabric that Second Su bought for , I made it myself.”

Aunt Su frowned, “It was Susu who saw that Xian Yue’s clothes were not decent and bought the fabric with her own money.”

“Hey, I didn’t even say anything, you see how anxious mom and little sister are getting, anyone would think that it was you and father who provided the supplent.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Su finished speaking and, hugging her little girl, muttered, “Look at this, your grandparents spent all their money on your little aunt and wouldn’t even buy at for you~~”

“Slap—”

Aunt Su slapped the knife onto the cutting board with an ugly expression on her face.

“I think you are just full and looking for trouble, always thinking about the petty cash in your father’s and my pocket. Is it such a cri that I made a dress for Xian Yue, that you have to hold a grudge against ?

I’ll spend my money on whover I want, do I have to consider your feelings? When Xian Yue was unmarried, didn’t she help take care of several nephews and nieces?

Not to ntion, I’ve raised your children till they grew big, and have always helped subsidize this household. Has there been a month when your father’s salary hasn’t gone towards subsidizing you? Hm? I didn’t realize that helping you was a mistake.”

“Mom, I didn’t an that.” Second Sister-in-law Wang Caixia quickly waved her hands.

Before elder daughter-in-law He Hong could speak, Mrs. Lu was already angrily standing with her hands on her hips.

“Don’t think I don’t know your little sches. I…”

“What’s going on here?”

The three n of the Su Family who had just returned, looked at the people in the room and asked.

After learning the full story, Su Fu’s face darkened, and he did not utter a word.

Brother Su and Su said a few words to their own wives in a low voice, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over with their parents and sister.

“Let’s separate!”

Su Fu uttered three words with a cold voice.

“Old man, what are you rambling about?”

“Dad?”

“Dad, what are you saying?”

“Just that, mom and dad, don’t be angry, I’ll definitely keep my wife in line in the future. I…”

“What? They’re separating?”

Mrs. Lu exclaid in surprise, looking at her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The Lu Family mbers were all: “???”

“Ah, it might be easier if we separate, it’ll spare us from everyone thinking we two old folks are playing favorites.” Brother Su sighed.

Eldest Sister-in-law Su was still a bit angry when talking about the evening’s events.

“From now on, let those two families live however they want, we won’t interfere, and they shouldn’t expect any more money out of and the old man.”

…

After seeing off Uncle Su and his family, Mrs. Lu was still angry on behalf of her eldest brother.

“Mom, I’ll need you to look after the business these next few days.”

Mrs. Lu slapped her forehead, “Oh dear, look at my mory, I forgot about your trip to the Provincial City tomorrow, rest assured, your father and I will take care of it.”

“Ah, isn’t that Lu Gong’an’s family?”
