If they could really get the shop, it wouldn't be impossible to let Suyani marry her brother.
Mother Wu snorted coldly: "It's better to be like this, otherwise I won't forgive you."
"Why don't you go cook? Your dad, your brother, and your younger brother will be back from looking for work soon. What are you going to eat?"
"I'll go now."
Wu Chunlian quickly climbed out of bed, put on her cloth shoes and walked outside to the makeshift kitchenette.
By noon, Suyani was so tired that her hair and clothes were wet. She finally washed the clothes and quilt and tidied up the yard.
I had just sat down on the small stool in the living room and drank two large bowls of cold water to rest when the three men from the Wu family came back.
Probably because finding a job was not going smoothly, Wu's father and Wu Haishan looked unhappy, and Wu Xiaojun was very impatient.
He didn't want to find any job at all, but his father and brother forced him to go.
Su Yani didn't care about her back pain and quickly got up to help Wu's mother and Wu Chunlian to bring the prepared food to the table and set it aside.
When she was about to sit down to eat, Wu's mother waved at her from the small kitchen in the corridor.
"Yani, come and eat!"
Have a meal
Su Yani was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the food that had been placed on the table, and then looked at Wu's mother and daughter Wu Chunlian, who were sitting on small stools at the door of the small kitchen with bowls in their hands.
She was stunned for a moment, "This..." What does this mean
Shouldn’t the whole family sit around the table and eat together
Does this mean that the whole family has to eat at two tables
"Come here." Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Wu's mother lost the smile on her face and frowned.
Wu Haishan, who had washed his hands and was sitting at the table, picked up the bowl, looked up at his father, the corners of his mouth twitched, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.
Suyani didn't know how to react when she saw what he did. She dragged her heavy legs and moved stiffly to the door. "Eat here?"
Wu Chunlian took a big bite of green vegetables and rolled her eyes at her: "If you don't want to eat here, where else do you want to eat? At that table?"
Suyani opened her mouth.
She wanted to say, shouldn’t the whole family sit together to eat
Wu's mother 'kindly' moved a small stool with a problem on one leg and placed it in front of her. "Yani, we have a custom where only men can sit at the table during meals. Women are not qualified to sit at the table."
Suyani's eyes widened in disbelief: "There is... there is such a custom?"
“Dad, how about…” Wu Haishan felt very upset and mustered up the courage to ask his father for mercy.
Father Wu stuffed a piece of meat, which was half fat and half lean, into his mouth, then looked up and gave him a warning look.
“Ahem.”
Mother Wu coughed twice, glanced at her eldest son, and signaled him not to worry about it.
"Yani, this is the way it is in our village, so we can't break the rules, right?"
"Auntie knows that you are a sensible and good child. You will definitely not get angry over such a trivial matter, right? You will not embarrass Haishan over such a trivial matter, right?"
"I..." Su Yani's face turned red, she was angry and aggrieved.
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Su Yani really couldn't accept it. She was exhausted after working for most of the day, but in the end she wasn't even qualified to sit at the table to eat.
Even when she was at her uncle's house before, she was always allowed to sit at the table, and whenever there was meat or eggs, she would be given a portion first. How could she have ever been insulted like today
