Chapter 20 - One would end up with spoiled rotten kids who didn't know good from bad (3)
Su Yu continued to say, "You're not young anymore. It's time for you to be sensible. I already work so hard so that you can go to school. How can you still want a new dress? If you spend all of the money, what will happen to Xiaozhi? He still has to marry a wife."
Su Xiaozhi immediately chimed, "Yeah. Why do you need a dress? If you're so great, don't go to school. Get a job to buy a dress for yourself. Why are you asking Big Sis for money? She works so hard. She was even hospitalized."
Su Yu faintly sighed.
Su Lin endured her tears, unable to speak. Big Bro was under his wife's control and didn't care about her. Her second brother was scolding her. Big Sis wasn't willing to buy her stuff… Sniffle. What a hard life. Why was her life so bitter?
"I'm not going to school anymore. I won't go! I'll go earn money to buy things by myself. Are you happy?"
"Okay." Su Yu nodded. She stood up with her bag on her back and was ready to head out. "That works. I'm going to the factory today to ask if they're recruiting. I won't have to worry anymore if you and Xiaozhi have jobs."
Su Lin was stunned. What? What did Big Sis mean?
Su Xiaozhi said with excitement, "Sis, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard." As long as he didn't have to read books, everything was okay.
Su Lin said with tears, "Sis, you won't let me go to school?"
Su Yu rolled her eyes. "You just said that you don't want to go to school. Xiaozhi heard it too."
Su Xiaozhi quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, you said that. I heard it all."
Su Yu said with a smile, "Buy a new dress or go to school. Your choice."
"..." Su Lin blankly looked at Su Yu, wanting to see if she was joking. Su Yu had a serious expression. It didn't look like she was joking at all. Su Lin immediately understood that Big Sis was serious.
"Have you figured it out?"
Su Xiaozhi added to the trouble. "What's there to think about? Let's go to work. Why bother going to school?"
"... I want to go to school…" Su Lin lowered her head and said in a sobbing tone. She didn't want to work. She wanted to go to school. All of her female classmates can go to school. She also wanted to go to school. She didn't want to go to a factory to work every day.
Su Yu said, "Okay, if you want to go to school, you can keep doing that. But, Xiaozhi is going to start supporting the family too. Everyone in the family except you will be earning money. You're the only one going to school and spending money. In the future, you have to do your part to support this family too. After school, don't dawdle. Come straight home to clean, cook, and wash clothes. All of that will be your responsibility. My health isn't good, and you can't have Xiaoxhi do this, right?"
Su Lin looked at Big Sis. She was dumbfounded. In the past, Big Sis wouldn't even let her wash her socks! "Sis…"
Su Xiaozh quickly nodded. "Yes, we'll be working hard at work!"
Su Yu said, "It's settled then. If you don't want to do housework, then go to work. If you work, I won't ask you to do housework."
"You can't ask for all the benefits," Su Xiaozhi said.
Su Lin blankly looked at them and then ran out crying. Wahh, she didn't want to work!
"Sis, what's wrong with Little Four?" Su Xiaozhi pointed at Su Lin's back figure.
Su Yu walked out with her bag. "It's okay. She's just throwing a tantrum. It'll pass. Sis is doing all this for you. If Little Lin can share the responsibility of doing housework, I'll have more time to earn money and you'll be able to live a better life. I'll go out to look for her and straighten her out. Rest at home. It must have been tiring to take care of me yesterday."
Su Xiaozhi looked at Su Yu's back figure as she walked away. He was so touched. Big Sis was too good!
After leaving the compound, Su Yu went to a barbershop on the street. She had to cut off her long hair. She was malnourished and couldn't afford to have long hair. Moreover, the texture of her hair wasn't good. She would have to spend a lot of time on it. Too troublesome.
"Cut my hair like Comrade Liu Hulan's," Su Yu straightforwardly said.
(T/N: Liu Hulan is a famous heroic martyr. She died at the age of 15 in 1947.)
