Chapter 13 - It made a black-hearted person like herself a bit embarrassed (2)

"Big Sis.” Su Dazhi saw that Yan Xiaofang had left and finally dared to say something.

Su Yu took a glance at him, then she sat up and went back to eating the egg cooked in brown sugar water.

Su Dazhi had just arrived at the hospital and hadn't eaten yet, so he swallowed his saliva when he saw her eating.

Su Yu ignored him. She finished drinking the brown sugar water in large gulps, and then she put the empty bowl on the table next to her.

"Dazhi ah, that egg was so delicious."

Su Dazhi: "..." He almost couldn’t hold back drooling.

"Tell me, how many years has it been since I've eaten an egg?”

The saliva that Su Dazhi hadn’t swallowed got stuck in his throat. How many years has it been… Five years? Seven years?

Su Yu sighed. "It started on the day our parents died.”

Su Dazhi was immediately speechless.

"Dazhi, back then our family was so miserable. We had just started working and an egg had to be made into a steamed egg for the whole family to eat. Watching the three of you happily eating, I couldn't bear to eat a bite."

"Sis, from now on, I… I’ll buy you eggs to eat." He didn’t have much confidence when he said these words. He didn't have any money. Everything was given to Liu Mei.

Su Yu knew his character just from looking at how he was behaving right now. She frowned and said, "What kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I’m greedy for a bite of egg?” She was a person that wanted to eat meat!

Su Dazhi quickly shook his head. "No, not all.”

Su Yu said seriously, "I'd rather not eat a bite and leave it all for you to eat. But I never thought you would think I would harm you. You even quarreled with me to separate the family. “

Su Dazhi was currently feeling a bit guilty. Hearing Su Yu's rebuke, he didn't know how to answer. “I… I…”

"I know, it was Liu Mei who said that, right? She said you have to think about your future family, save money for that family of yours, and get a home for it. Am I right?”

Su Dazhi lowered his head in acquiescence.

Su Yu immediately wiped her eyes. “Dazhi, check your conscience. Have I ever treated you badly in the past years? Have I ever asked you for any money? I pay for your food and clothing. Big Sis wholeheartedly does everything for you. Think about it. After you got married, what kind of life did you have? You came from the factory, right?”

Su Dazhi's face looked as if she had guessed right. Su Yu brokenheartedly said, "How can Liu Mei treat you like this? Dazhi, you're being used like a cow. No, you’re worse than a cow. At least a cow can trade its labor for grass to eat. You don't even need her to feed you. You’re willing to let her abuse you for nothing. If she really cares for you, why would she not give you money? How could she let you walk so far from the factory? Let me guess. You haven’t eaten yet?”

As Su Dazhi listened to these words, he felt so wronged and quickly nodded.

"Look at yourself, you don't even have food stamps. Your monthly salary is quite a lot. You and your wife are both workers, so why are you living like this? You haven't even had a baby yet, and you're already acting so stupid and cowardly? I won’t even compare you to other workers, you’re worse off than male farmers. At the very least, a male farmer can be the head of the family and have food to eat. When Big Sis was raising you, you were chubby and white. If it wasn't for raising you, would I be lying in bed now, malnourished?”

Su Dazhi was hungry, plus he was tired of walking. Hearing Su Yu's words, he felt as if he had been horribly mistreated.

At any rate, he was a worker, who earned food stamps. So how did his life become like this?

"Big Sis…” Su Dazhi looked at Su Yu, full of self-pity.

Su Yu didn't want to see that disgusting look. She turned to look at the door of the hospital room. "Do you know why I don't separate my family? At my age, I’ll have a home after I get married, so why would I care about having that room? Big Sis is staying because I’m worried about you! Liu Mei can be mean to you when I’m still home. Once I leave, she’ll drive you to ruin. Dazhi, you’re my brother. How can I see you being bullied? Big Sis’s heart hurts-"

When she said those last words, it sounded as if her heart was breaking. Su Dazhi's morale was immediately boosted. As it turned out, Big Sis did not separate the family for his sake. It was because she couldn’t stand him being bullied by Liu Mei.

The people in the nearby hospital bed heard their conversation and understood what was going on.

This sister had worked hard to raise her younger brother, and when the younger brother was pressured by his wicked wife to bully her, the sister didn't blame her younger brother. She was even concerned that her younger brother was being bullied.

This sister was truly dedicated and hardworking.

Translator Ramblings: I think the original owner just wanted her family to stay together, but Su Yu’s spin on it is so convincing that I can see why Su Dazhi falls for it. I think Liu Mei and Su Yu are similar. They use the same method to gain control over Su Dazhi, i.e. appealing to his self-interests. Liu Mei uses the draw of future benefits (a better life for their future children) to get Su Dazhi to do her bidding and turn his back on his siblings, and Su Yu is using half-truths and immediate benefits to win him over and sow discord between him and his wife.
