Su Bing politely declined the large sum of money offered by his father. He was aware that the denominations in his father’s wallet were far from small, and he decided to use his own pocket money, which he had not yet exhausted.
Not to be outdone, Su Li glanced at his mother and confidently declared, “Brother, I don’t need your help. I have my own pocket money.” His tone was filled with an air of “I’m not short of money,” which instantly made him appear more affluent.
Watching her two sons turn and walk away, Gu Zi chuckled. She reached out and took the ten yuan note from Su Shen’s hand, playfully suggesting, “Mr. Su, if they don’t want it, why don’t you give it to me?”
Su Shen, amused by her teasing, cooperatively replied, “For you, it’s all yours.” He then handed the ten yuan note to Gu Zi. Even the usually stern man couldn’t suppress a smile at her antics.
Gu Zi thought, his smile was quite charming.
Su Bing and Su Li quickly returned from the car dealership, each holding a ticket – proof of their vehicle’s storage. They climbed into their father’s car, settled into the back seat, and drove away from the school gates.
At the school entrance, classmates of Su Bing and Su Li watched as the brothers climbed into the car. The sight instantly elevated their status in the eyes of their peers.
Previously, the brothers often went hungry, subsisting on undercooked sweet potatoes. Now, not only were they enjoying exquisite lunch boxes, but rumors were also circulating among their classmates that their father was a partner of Xinghua Department Store, suggesting their family was quite wealthy.
Initially, their classmates were skeptical. After all, Su Bing and Su Li had always appeared to be children from impoverished families, lacking even decent clothes and shoes. They were so thin it seemed as if they hadn’t had a proper meal in centuries. The younger brother, Su Li, was often seen picking up discarded snacks. It was hard to believe they were children of a wealthy family.
However, the sight of their car made the classmates believe that the brothers were indeed low-key from a rich family. Thinking about their previous appearances, they were indeed very low-key!
“Is the man who was holding the child their father? He looks so cool. Are Su Bing and Su Li’s father really that cool? He looks like a military officer from a movie. He should be wearing a uniform!”
“That’s their father. It’s not my first time seeing him. I saw him driving them to school in the morning before. I thought he was their uncle, but I heard Su Li call him ‘Dad’.”
“Do you remember that woman? She came to the school’s reading day event last time. She’s the most beautiful mother in the students’ hearts. I’m so envious of Su Bing and Su Li. Can we acknowledge them as our leaders?”
Unbeknownst to the two brothers in the car, their classmates had already recognized them as the leaders. Su Bing sat calmly in the back seat, engrossed in solving problems from his workbook. Meanwhile, Su Li did not hesitate to open the candied haws their mother had bought for them, savoring each bite with relish.
After a short while, Su Li had devoured all but one of the bright red candied haws. He glanced at the two untouched skewers beside him but chose not to continue eating. Instead, he carefully wrapped the remaining piece in its packaging, planning to save it for after dinner.
Otherwise, he would only be able to watch as his brother and sister ate later. A true gourmet, he knew, must understand the importance of rationing!
Gu Zi was already feeling somewhat tired. She held Su Le and leaned against the car window, her eyes heavy with sleep. Midway, Su Shen draped his coat over her, expressing his concern, ‘We’re almost home. You can take a nap on the bed once we get there. I’ll prepare dinner.”
Gu Zi responded groggily, her desire for sleep growing. However, she was unaware of the surprise waiting for her at home.
At the Su family residence, Jin Long and two others who had helped refurbish a room were preparing to leave. The room they had just exited had undergone a complete transformation, from a simple guest room to a neat, cozy display room.
Most of the items in the room were from Gu Zi’s wedding day, such as her wedding dress, headpiece, and joyous shoes. It resembled a commemorative room for the wedding, and it was quite romantic indeed.
Jin Long could hardly believe that the usually cold Su Shen could be so romantic. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Marriage is indeed a wonderful thing, isn’t it?”
The people around him exchanged knowing smiles, their tone laden with hidden meaning. “Oh, Brother Jin Long, are you eager to get married?” They had previously heard rumors of Jin Long smiling foolishly to himself, which they had dismissed as a joke. But now, they wondered if Jin Long had truly set his sights on a certain young lady..
