Chapter 548: Chapter 420: Hoarding Thousands upon Thousands for Natural Disasters, Raising a Child, I Let It Go 8
Su Zhiruan turned her phone sideways, took a picture of the mutton soup and buns on the table, and thoughtfully added a filter.
If they saw that the second daughter they always despised was now living in luxury in the post-apocalypse, who knows if they would die of anger.
“Hold on,” Wen Qingyu, looking at her actions, suddenly stood up, “The meatballs and tofu skin should be about ready, I’ll go and serve them.”
“Okay!” Su Zhiruan casually turned on the surveillance, leisurely watching everything unfold.
At this moment, Su Mingzhu held half a steamed bun, her glance dark as she looked towards Su Father and Su Yaozu, each of them had two pieces of bread in front of them, while Su Mother had the other half of the steamed bun.
“Sis, haven’t you always been talking about losing weight? Since there’s not much food anyway, you should eat less. After all, Dad and I are men, we need to be full to face any crisis,” Su Yaozu said proudly while holding a piece of bread.
If it had been before, he and Su Mingzhu would have bullied Su Zhiruan together, and he had never acknowledged Su Zhiruan as his second sister.
But now, with the Catastrophe Apocalypse suddenly upon them, his true colors had been exposed. Because there were two older sisters in the family, Su Yaozu always felt that he should be the apple of the family’s eye. Even Su Mingzhu couldn’t compare to him.
Su Mother looked at the half a steamed bun in her hand, naturally, she felt it wasn’t enough to eat, but one was her husband and the other was her darling son. After thinking it over, she gladly consented, “Alright, enough talk, let’s eat quickly. Mingzhu has always been talking about losing weight, it’s also good to control your diet right after your birthday.”
While Su Father didn’t say anything, he gave her a look that revealed everything.
Even though Su Mingzhu immediately felt resentment in her heart, under the current circumstances, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. She looked at the half piece of steamed bun in her hand and proactively offered it to Su Yaozu, “Yaozu, you’re right, you and Dad are the pillars of our family. Eat more so you have strength, then you can help us all escape this predicament.”
Su Yaozu thought about the refrigerator he had just checked, realizing that there really wasn’t much edible left. He raised his chin, “Don’t worry, sis, you’re fat enough as it is, losing weight is necessary.”
Su Mingzhu forced a smile, then returned to the sofa, staring at her phone on an empty stomach.
And all of this was seen by Su Zhiruan. She raised an eyebrow, not expecting to witness such an enthralling scene as soon as she turned on the surveillance.
Watching Su Father, Su Mother, and Su Yaozu gnawing on the hard bread, while at that moment, Wen Qingyu brought over the braised dishes.
The thick, red color of the oil and the sauce, and the heavy aroma, would have made a fortune before the blizzards if it were a braised food shop.
Su Zhiruan took a picture of the dish with her phone.
Together with the previously taken pictures of the mutton soup and buns, she sent them all to the Su Family group chat.
Afterward, she opened the Su Family’s current surveillance again, ready to observe the drama unfold.
“Let’s eat quickly. The mutton shouldn’t get cold,” Wen Qingyu pushed the braised dishes towards her, “Eat and watch at the same time.”
“Do you want to see? I think it’s bound to be a good show,” Su Zhiruan said while grabbing a drink from the side, adjusting her phone horizontally propped against the drink so the screen faced both her and Wen Qingyu, “Eating while watching, this is way more interesting than a horror movie.”
The youth had only heard about her biological family in bits and pieces yesterday; this was the first time he was witnessing it.
Grateful that Su Zhiruan was willing to share, he lowered his gaze and silently moved his chair closer to her.
She was busy watching the drama, not noticing these small gestures.
When Su Zhiruan’s photo was sent, Su Mingzhu, who was hungry, saw it first. Almost instantly, jealousy grew rapidly, almost overwhelming her.
There she was, having to give away even half of her steamed bun, while the Su Zhiruan who couldn’t compare to her in any aspect was hiding somewhere enjoying delicious foods!
This drove Su Mingzhu almost to the brink of madness with envy!
Her eyes flickered, and she quickly thought of a plan. Su Mingzhu stood up, phone in hand, and walked towards Su Father, Su Mother, and Su Yaozu. As she walked, she feigned surprise and exclaimed, “Mom, Dad, Yaozu, look at the group chat — Su Zhiruan is eating so well?!”
When Su Mingzhu mentioned Su Zhiruan, the three people present all frowned almost simultaneously.
Clearly, they were reminded of that rainy night when Su Zhiruan had shoved the umbrella into their faces.
