How to Thrive in the '60s
Chapter 16 - A wife wasn't as reliable as Big Sis (2)
After Su Yu finished eating, she sighed. "Xiaozhi ah, that meal was the first time in years that I've eaten so well. It made me think of our parents. When they're alive, I could still eat a good meal once in a while. After our parents were gone, I couldn't bear to eat anything good. I wanted to save food so that you can eat a little bit more."
Su Xiaozhi wiped his mouth. "Big Sis, don't worry, after I joined the workforce, we can eat meat buns every day."
"It doesn't matter whether I can eat meat buns or not. I just hope to be discharged from the hospital sooner. You're already so old. I want to earn more money so you can get married."
Su Xiaozhi's cheeks instantly reddened.
Su Yu said, "You don't have to worry about anything. Your big brother came to the hospital today. He saw how exhausted I look. I guess that he found his conscience. He promised that he'll give me his money to manage. I know what he thinks. He's ashamed of using my money to marry a wife. He's matured too. As a man, he wants face. After all, it would be shameful of him to rely on a woman. Anyways, no matter what, with him shouldering part of the responsibility, I can take care of you more."
"I won't rely on you. I'll earn my own money to marry a wife," Su Xiaozhi immediately said. He's also a man who wants to save face!
Su Yu smiled faintly. "What silly words, you're my little brother. In this world, we're the closest. I certainly want to take care of you with all my heart and soul. Besides, I don't have any expectations that you can save money. Money in the hands of a boy won't be saved. Your big brother kept the money in his hands over the past few years, but he hasn't saved a penny. For the money to be saved, it has to be kept in the hands of the matriarch of the family. If our mother was here, she would be able to manage the money for you. Fortunately, your big brother is now sensible and ready to give me his money to take care of. I'll definitely save it well for him."
"Big Sis, save my money for me too then," Su Xiaozhi smoothly said, but then he felt regretful. How could he live his life if he gave the money to his older sister? But after seeing how touched his older sister looked, he suddenly felt that it wasn't a bad thing to give the money to his older sister to save for him. As a man, how can he be worse than big brother? Big Bro was controlled by his wife and looked so cowardly. He definitely won't learn from him.
He'll give the money to Big Sis to save for him and definitely won't give it to his future wife. Big Sis had told him that Big Bro didn't have any money in his pocket. He didn't even have the money to take the bus. How humiliating.
Su Yu looked at him with an excited face. "Xiaozhi, Big Sis is really happy. I don't care about your money, but my heart feels so warm knowing that you trust me and rely on me. I knew that our Xiaozhi isn't ungrateful like those other people said. Xiaozhi, don't worry, I'll find you a job soon, so you can live the life you want."
Su Xiaozhi immediately beamed with joy and said, "You're my sister. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? I'm not like Big Bro, who would rather trust outsiders than you."
He knew this truth just by looking at his older sister-in-law. A wife wasn't as reliable as Big Sis. Anyway, Big Sis had worked herself to exhaustion and fainted for the sake of their family. He hadn't seen anyone's wife doing that.
After chatting, Su Xiaozhi hurriedly went to wash the dishes.
Thus, Su Yu ended up lying comfortably on the bed and nibbling on melon seeds.
Su Xiaozhi just went out and ran into Su Dazhi who came this way. He glared at Su Dazhi, "Big Bro, don't come here to find Big Sis if you want to separate the family. She's already in such a bad state. If you're still thinking of grabbing the room, then you're unscrupulous and cruel." Those who want to rob that room from him are all enemies!
Su Dazhi did not know about Su Xiaozhi's thoughts. He thought that Su Xiaozhi was purely upset with him because he had fussed about separating the family and made their older sister unhappy. He felt so bad. Even Xiaozhi, who had never been sensible, knew that he should care for and be considerate of Big Sis. He was older than Su Xiaozhi, and yet, he treated their older sister's kindness and goodwill as malice. He broke the heart of someone that really cared about him.
He didn't look at Su Xiaozhi. With his head down, he entered the hospital room.
Su Xiaozhi saw him entering the hospital room and rushed to wash the bowls and utensils. He wanted to hurry back to fight with his older brother. Big Sis was unwell. If she ends up not being able to win the argument with Big Bro, his room will be lost.
Translator Ramblings: In the span of one paragraph, Su Yu goes from:
What silly words, you're my little brother. In this world, we're the closest. I certainly want to take care of you with all my heart and soul. -> Truth from the perspective of the original owner and Su Xiaozhi that serves for why he should trust her.
Besides, I don't have any expectations that you can save money. Money in the hands of a boy won't be saved. -> Her opinion, but not asking him to do anything yet
Your big brother kept the money in his hands over the past few years, but he hasn't saved a penny. -> Fact
For the money to be saved, it has to be kept in the hands of the matriarch of the family. -> Slipping in idea of what she wants him to do without actually saying it
If our mother was here, she would be able to manage the money for you. -> Truth from that time period
Fortunately, your big brother is now sensible and ready to give me his money to take care of. I'll definitely save it well for him." -> Half-truth that can’t be dismantled if Su Xiaozhi ask Su Dazhi about it.
She sandwiches what she wants him to do between just enough truth to make her other words seem true too.

Big Sis had originally tried to get up from the bed to go wash dishes, but before she even got out of bed, her legs were so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
