Chapter 13: Second Aunt, Third Aunt
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“What’s that you are carrying? Let me take a look.”
Chen Guihua was in her 30s that year. While everyone was yellow and thin from hunger, she was fat all over, eyes squeezing into a line.
Her small eyes glinted as she stared shiftily at the items in Su Wen’s hand, wishing she could snatch it and take a look.
Su Wen guessed Chen Guihua’s identity based on her appearance.
Although this third aunt did not have many scenes in the book, she was a huge weirdo.
She was lazy, loved to take advantage of others, and did things that harmed others and benefited herself.
She couldn’t bear to see others doing better than her and would be jealous of those who were better off than her. If they didn’t do as well as her family, she would rub it in their faces and make matters worse.
Back then, she had been suppressed by Su Wen’s mother and couldn’t compare to her in any way.
Later, Su Wen’s parents passed away one after another, and there was finally no elder brother and sister-in-law above her. Chen Guihua caught the seven Su sisters and bullied them.
She often went to their house to steal things and splash dirty water everywhere.
“Quick, let me see what delicious thing this is,” Chen Guihua said as she reached out to grab it.
Su Wen’s brain was working quickly – she couldn’t let Chen Guihua find out about her family buying meat.
If the meat was snatched away, it would be fine. However, she might even ask for more benefits. Chen Guihua had done things like making reports if they didn’t give in to her demands.
Su Wen ducked and dodged Chen Guihua’s hand.
“Big sister, I want to eat meat. I saw that Niuniu’s family is eating meat tonight.”
Little sister Su’s voice suddenly rang out, making Su Wen laugh inside.
Her little sister was so quick-witted.
Hence, Su Wen acted like a drama queen and put on a mean look as she scolded, “Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat! Niuniu’s family is rich, and there is so much meat that they can’t finish it. What do we have in our family? Hmph! If you still want to eat meat, it’s good enough to have pigweed to eat.”
After she finished speaking, she raised her head high and didn’t even glance at Chen Guihua. She pulled little sister Su along and left.
Hmph! One of the reasons the original character’s family was so miserable was also because of the conspiracy of second uncle’s family.
Zhao Jiangang had repeatedly bullied the sisters of the original character, and he had relied on second aunt Zhang Chunxiang and cousin Su Pingfan to support him and stir up trouble.
“Bah! You shameless s***, you only know how to throw yourself at men. You can eat meat in your next life!”
Chen Guihua stood on the spot and spat at Su Wen’s back, cursing. She had completely forgotten that she had wanted to see what was in the bag.
While she was cursing, she suddenly thought of little sister Su’s words. Her eyes widened, and she wiped her saliva on her sleeve. She stopped cursing and turned to walk toward the home of second brother, Su Xuewu.
Once there, she happened to see the family having dinner.
Su Xuewu’s wife, Zhang Chunxiang, saw Chen Guihua coming from afar. She immediately got up and took the bowl of greasy meat from the table and hid it in the cabinet in the room.
By the time she came out of the room, Chen Guihua was already using all four limbs to grab and snatch at the flour buns on the dining table.
When the youngest son, Niuniu, saw that the buns were gone, he lay on the ground and rolled around.
The eldest daughter, Su Pingping, was afraid that the food would all be snatched away, so she quickly put the food into her own bowl.
The eldest son, Su Pingfan, looked at Chen Guihua with red eyes. He didn’t say anything, but he was very contemptuous inside.
He was the eldest grandson that the Su family’s heads doted on the most. Since he was born, he had never done any farm work in the fields.
He hadn’t even done pigweed before, and his skin was whiter than the average villagers’. He was currently the most popular image of a feminine boy and the favorite of the two elders. They were looking forward to Su Pingfan getting into university and bringing glory to his ancestors.
If there was anything good to eat or drink at home, Su Pingfan would be the first to get it.
However, Su Pingfan was used to being pretentious. His grades weren’t good, but he still held his books every day and acted like he was very hardworking, earning everyone’s praise. He secretly seduced female educated youths and played with their feelings.
“Chen Guihua, what are you doing?” Zhang Chunxiang’s face darkened and she went up to slap Chen Guihua.
