the days are still long

Chapter 11 Picky Too Obvious
"Sister, don't worry too much, I don't mean to drive you away."

Qian Xiaoya hastily cleared things up, and then approached Su Mei to inquire tentatively.

"Sister, have you brought out all the savings and cash at home this time?"

Lin Zuo has a woman outside. In this case, if a woman wants to get a divorce, she will take away all the valuables at home in a fit of anger.

Su Mei buried her head in cutting the eggplant, her tone was flat, "No, I only brought my own change of clothes."

"Why?" Qian Xiaoya's eyes widened curiously, "Lin Zuo won't let you take it?"

Su Mei: "No."

"What is that?" Qian Xiaoya subconsciously received it.

Under Su Mei's knife, a whole eggplant turned into hob blocks of the same size and shape. "I haven't taken home a penny all these years, and I won't take any money back from Lin Zuo."

Qian Xiaoya pursed her lips secretly, and put the green pepper back in her hand.

"That's all right, sister, you should be busy, Momo needs someone to tutor her,"

"Go." Su Mei stopped and bent her lips, watching Qian Xiaoya walk out of the kitchen before continuing to chop vegetables.

The dinner was very sumptuous, according to Xiang Chunlan's instructions, three dishes and one soup, and only after the bowls and chopsticks were set up did Su Mei ask everyone to have dinner.

Su Yang worked overtime today, so he called and told his family not to wait for him for dinner.

On the dining table, there are four sets of bowls and chopsticks.

As soon as Xiang Chunlan came to the dining table, she asked suspiciously, "Why are there four sets of bowls and chopsticks? I took one less."

Su Mei helped pull out the chairs one by one, "I ate outside just now."

"Then sit down and drink some tomato egg drop soup." Su Dacheng said.

Su Mei pursed her lips and refused, "No, it won't be long, I can't eat it."

Su Dacheng didn't force him anymore, and after the four of them sat down, Su Mei went to the living room, pulled her suitcase, opened it, took out a change of clothes and toiletries, and walked into the bathroom.

In summer, the weather is hot, and there is no air conditioner at home. I have been working in the kitchen all night and my whole body is wet. Su Mei plans to take a shower and change into a set of clean clothes.

As soon as Su Mei turned on the shower head, Qian Xiaoya's voice sounded: "Why did you peel the eggplant? It is said on the Internet that the nutrition of the eggplant is in the skin. What nutrition is there after peeling?"

Su Mei instinctively stopped applying shampoo to her head, and stood under the shower head, motionless.

Qian Xiaoya was by her side when she cut the eggplant, she didn't say it then, but now she says so
Su Momo's voice followed, crisp and raw, "When grandma used to make it, she also peeled the skin."

"What do you know!" Qian Xiaoya's scolding voice came into the bathroom again.

"Children don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, the pot-wrapped eggplants made by grandma used to have no skin!" Su Mumu retorted unconvinced, the eight-year-old child didn't think so much.

Qian Xiaoya was too picky, and Xiang Chunlan, who was sitting opposite her mother and daughter, wanted to speak several times but didn't know how to comfort her.

Su Dacheng, who had been silent all this time, slapped his chopsticks on the dining table with a 'snap': "If you like to eat, don't eat it, if you don't eat it, get out!"

Su Mumo's mouth was flattened by the yelling, and she looked at the unhappy grandfather opposite, and lowered her head aggrieved.

Qian Xiaoya glanced at Su Dacheng in dissatisfaction, and without being picky again, stuffed a piece of eggplant in a pot from the chopsticks into Su Mumu's bowl, and took a mouthful of rice angrily.

Su Mei knew that the main reason why her brother and daughter-in-law could not tolerate her was that she lived for nothing.

So after taking a shower, Su Mei gave Xiang Chunlan a thousand of the money she borrowed from Duan Yaning, and kept a few hundred for herself.

"Mom, you take this money first, save it for grocery shopping, and I'll give you some more when I find a job."
