Chapter 560 It’s all because she’s still alive
"Mom, what are we having for dinner today? Is there any meat? I haven't had meat in a long time."
Su Lei walked in from outside and asked Ji Qingqing.
Ji Qingqing raised her eyelids and said, "Eat, eat, eat. What do you want to eat? All you do is eat all day long."
"Your dad is lying around at home all day, and there's been no news from the heartless Jiaojiao. All you do is run around and eat. I owe you!"
Su Lei's eyes flashed with anger, "What does it have to do with me? I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you still worried about her? If she hadn't taken the money from home, would Dad have beaten you? Would I have gone without meat for so long? The teacher asked us to pay for the school uniform and textbooks, but you always dragged your feet. I was called out several times. I hate her so much. She'd better die outside and never come back!!"
Ji Qingqing looked at the hatred in Su Lei's eyes that was not in line with his age, and her heart trembled. She was frightened, reached out and grabbed his arm and slapped him lightly on the back.
"You damn child, what nonsense are you talking about? She is your biological sister. She was so kind to you at home. How can you say that? You have no conscience!"
Su Lei raised his arm and said, "I'm not wrong. She's a piece of shit. If she hadn't stolen the family's money, would Dad have beaten and scolded me every day?"
"Will I be laughed at by my classmates and called out by the teacher? You didn't even buy me meat, and you still want me to thank her?"
Ten-year-old Su Lei is taller and stronger than his peers. Since he was born, Ji Qingqing and Su Jianjun have never treated him badly in terms of food.
Even when the family was in the most tense times, Su Lei never ran out of eggs.
But at this moment, that face, which had not yet lost its childishness, was full of hostility.
Ji Qingqing and Su Jianjun have been in a lot of trouble in recent years. They just did not treat their son badly in terms of food and clothing, but they never paid attention to Su Lei's mental health.
Mom and Dad's daily quarrels had a serious impact on Su Lei's psychology, making him more cold-blooded, selfish, and irritable.
Ji Qingqing's eyes flashed, and she explained to Su Lei, "Lei'er, you are still young, you don't understand adult matters."
"Dad and Mom are arguing not because of your sister. We're arguing because your second uncle's family came to ask for money. Mom is setting up a stall outside all day long, making money all day long. How could she not be able to afford meat? We're so tight on money because we have to use the money to support your grandma."
"Didn't you see that the day before yesterday, your second uncle called all the comrades from the street office over? In our house, they criticized your father and me and told us that if I didn't give them the money, your second uncle and your second aunt would go to your mother's stall to mess up. We had no choice but to obey them."
Su Lei asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Ji Qingqing sighed, "I'm your mother, how can I lie to you?"
"We had a few disturbances at the cannery before. The factory has always paid special attention to our Su family, especially the issue of your grandmother's support after her stroke. Before we moved out of the cannery's staff building, the factory intervened several times.
You saw that old woman Lin Zhaodi when she was here before. She was always looking for trouble. She is biased and likes your second uncle. She likes to live in your second uncle's house, so she deliberately made trouble to make us pay money to subsidize your second uncle's family. "
"This old thing has dragged on for so many years and still hasn't died. It's really killing people. I don't know if Su Jianguo and Liu Huilan have shit in their heads. They keep sending him to the hospital even in this condition. It's really a waste of money!"
"Their family works in the cannery. Because of Lin Zhaodi, they have a good reputation for being filial. I heard that your brother Su Wang was promoted to a junior manager. We are in big trouble. They want to support us, but they shouldn't ask us for money. They are such a shameless family. They get the benefits and reputation, but they know to ask us to share the cost of the investment."
Su Lei was furious. "Then don't give it to her. If she likes Second Uncle's house, let her stay there. Why should she ask us for money?"
Ji Qingqing's eyes flashed, "Lei'er, you are still young and don't understand the complexity of this. Even if she doesn't like your father, she is still your father's mother. The neighbors and the leaders above are watching. And if I really don't give it to you, will I still be able to run my business? If your father's unit is involved in the incident, will he still go to work? If we don't make money, what will we eat and drink?"
"Ah, when will this kind of life end? If Lin Zhaodi lives another ten or eight years, our family will have no chance of making a living. We will all work like slaves to support your second uncle's family!"
"An old immortal will only be a burden to others, and no one knows when he will die."
"But seeing this, your second uncle's family is reluctant to let her die. Anyway, we will share the medical expenses, and they will get the benefits and reputation..."
Ji Qingqing stood up while cursing, "Alright, I'm going to cook. You go read a book for a while and come with me to the hospital. I have to see how much the medical expenses are. The leader of the street office said the other day that even if we don't have money, we have to write an IOU to your second aunt. Otherwise, if we don't calm Liu Huilan down and she comes to my stall to make trouble again, I won't have to set up my stall anymore."
Su Lei looked at his mother's back as she entered the kitchen, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
He hated his grandmother. Since childhood, his grandmother had liked Su Baige and Su Wange. She didn't like himself or Su Jiao. She didn't like Su An and Su Ping, those two peasants, at all.
After so many years of often listening to Ji Qingqing and Su Jianjun's complaints, Su Lei was extremely disgusted with Lin Zhaodi.
Now listening to what Ji Qingqing said, the current situation at home was still her fault. The reason why they couldn't afford meat and couldn't pay the tuition was also because of Lin Zhaodi.
Su Lei's disgust towards Lin Zhaodi reached its peak. Why hasn't she died yet?
No one knew where Su Jianjun went after work. After Ji Qingqing finished cooking, he came in on time.
I don't know what made him angry, but he kicked over the small chair at the door as soon as he entered.
Su Lei shuddered subconsciously.
Ji Qingqing endured it and forced a fake smile on her face, "Jianjun, you're back. Go wash your hands and eat."
The smile did not reach his eyes, and even carried a hint of impatience.
Useless people and losers will only act like bullies at home.
Holding her breath, Ji Qingqing still asked caringly, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
Su Jianjun's face darkened. "Who else could it be? Ever since Su Jianguo and his wife came to my house with the street office the day before yesterday, every time I go out I am not pointed at by the neighbors."
"Those gossipers are spreading more and more outrageous stories!"
Ji Qingqing's eyes flickered, "Did Aunt Ge come to you to talk about those nonsense again?"
"Forget it, don't be angry. I've gotten used to it over the years. Anyway, you two brothers have been together since childhood, and all the good things are Su Jianguo's, and all the bad things are yours. You know that you are so obsessed with me. You always said before that you can't rely on us, but what happened..."
