Finally, the two younger brothers delightedly received a meal of bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat, their faces twisted in pain, sitting gingerly without daring to fully sit. After the family finished dinner, Su Xiaoxiao remembered the stainless steel water bottle in her bag and quickly pulled it out. "Third sister, where did that stainless steel water bottle come from?" Su Fusheng saw the water bottle she put on the table and was almost unable to move his eyes. Our team leader has one of these things, and he shows it off everywhere, afraid that others might not know. Su Xiaoxiao replied casually, "When I was at the meatpacking factory, I saw it being sold at the department store, so I bought it." "Third sister, you’re so lucky. Don’t you know our team leader had to pull a lot of strings and connections..." Before Su Fusheng could finish speaking, he saw his third sister calmly pull out two more, and he was stunned. "You actually bought three at once?" To think getting just one at the department store is like fighting tooth and nail, and his third sister managed to get three at once. At this moment, Su Fusheng was deeply impressed by his third sister’s capability. Even the always composed eldest brother Su Wenbing couldn’t hold back: "Third sister, did you buy all of these yourself?" Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, I bought them offhand at the department store." The moment she finished speaking, both brothers fell silent. Liu Cuilan finished washing the dishes and came out, and saw her two sons standing like wooden stakes, and slapped one awake: "What are you just standing around for? Hurry up to bed, or you’ll strain your eyes..." As soon as she finished speaking, something caught her eye. She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully again; she wasn’t mistaken, the table had three stainless steel water bottles neatly placed. Liu Cuilan’s voice changed slightly: "Where... where did these come from?" Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand weakly: "Mom, I brought them for you on my way back from the meatpacking factory." Liu Cuilan couldn’t just say she was shocked anymore, her third daughter brought back those expensive items, not just one, but three. She wouldn’t dare dream of such a thing. Su Xiaoxiao distributed one stainless steel water bottle each, leaving her two younger brothers looking expectantly, only to find their third sister didn’t intend to give them any. Su Jianwu blocked Su Xiaoxiao angrily: "Third sister, why does mom, eldest brother, and second brother get one, but not us? You’re being biased." Su Xiaoxiao slammed the table: "Why don’t you two have any sense of shame? Isn’t it because..." Before she finished, Su Jianwu jumped up to cover her mouth: "Third sister, we don’t need them." "Yeah, third sister, we’re still young, we don’t need such nice water bottles." Su Jianwen also quickly joined in the humor, joking that after their mom just cooled down, they didn’t want another round of spanking. That night, lying in bed, Su Xiaoxiao, who usually had great sleep, surprisingly experienced insomnia. The day after tomorrow the results from the department store’s written test come out; saying she wasn’t nervous at all was a lie. She stared at the dark ceiling, tossing and turning unable to sleep, twisting and turning until late at night when sleepiness finally came. Just as she was drifting off, something suddenly occurred to her, and she sat up in shock as if in her death throes. Damn, it seemed she got tricked by Zhang Dongmei. Previously, they clearly agreed that if she really got hired by the meatpacking factory as an instructor, then she won. But when she ran into Zhang Dongmei today, she was too busy delivering goods, and got misled by her, damn it. On the other side, Zhang Dongmei was pleased with herself, thinking Su Xiaoxiao is an idiot. Even if she becomes an instructor at the meatpacking factory, so what? Dream on about getting her bicycle. Anyway, when she suggested that only if Su Xiaoxiao scores higher than her will she win, Su Xiaoxiao had no objections. No objections meant it was accepted as agreement. Su Xiaoxiao, that idiot, has always been at the bottom of the class. Thinking she could score higher was simply dreaming. Thinking of this, Zhang Dongmei snorted and closed her eyes in satisfaction. Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao rushed angrily to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle accounts with Zhang Dongmei. She looked around but didn’t see her. After asking another sales clerk, she found out Zhang Dongmei had taken the day off. Great, that damn girl, is she trying to evade her debt? You might avoid the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth. Anyway, tomorrow she is going to see the results at the department store, and she doesn’t believe she won’t run into Zhang Dongmei. Not finding the person, Su Xiaoxiao could only hold back her anger and headed home. Halfway there, she was suddenly stopped by someone blocking her path. "Su Xiaoxiao, stop right there!" Hearing the familiar voice, she turned to see Sun Miao chasing after her angrily. "Stupid girl, you almost got my brother killed, I’m going to beat you, you vicious woman!" Sun Miao raised his hand to hit Su Xiaoxiao, but just as he lifted his hand, a loud slap landed on his face first. Sun Miao was not expecting her to strike first, his angry eyes seemed like they would pop out. "What, first come, first served; act first and suffer less. If I don’t hit you first, I’m supposed to wait for you to finish hitting me?" Once Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking and turned to leave, Sun Miao stopped her again: "Su Xiaoxiao, you can’t go after hurting my brother like that." Yesterday, she only heard the fuss and didn’t see what actually happened. Sun Miao’s words piqued her curiosity. Sun Miao’s face turned red and white interchangeably, and he stomped his feet: "No matter what, my brother was hurt by you, you must take responsibility." Repeating the same line over and over again, Su Xiaoxiao found herself speechless. "Do you have proof? Just saying it was me without evidence, how did I harm him, please explain clearly?" Sun Miao’s face was flushed, and he couldn’t find words to reply. "If you don’t say it, I’m going to leave." Seeing her wait for a long time with no response, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to waste more time and started to walk away. Sun Miao gritted his teeth, followed and lowered his voice: "My brother was... that." Su Xiaoxiao noticed the curious eyes of the gossiping aunties around them and raised her voice on purpose: "Which one?" "Shut up, you stupid girl! If my brother’s matter gets known, how will he have the face to face people?" Sun Miao clenched his molars, and finally said the words all red in the face. Su Xiaoxiao nodded upon hearing: "Got it." Then, she calmly took out a small loudspeaker she ordered from the mall. Seeing her pull out something like a loudspeaker, Sun Miao’s right eye started twitching for no reason. Then, she heard a loud voice that made her wish she could crawl into a hole. "Attention folks, please listen, the precious son of our village secretary Sun, we must fight for justice for him..." Before she finished speaking, Sun Miao’s face changed suddenly. She lunged forward to grab the loudspeaker from Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. Read full story at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
