Chapter 2: CH 2

Chapter 2 - She wouldn't do such a stupid thing even if someone threatened her with death (2)
After finishing her meal, Su Yu hurriedly went to clean her bowl.
These days, barely any oil was used in cooking. Dishwashing soap wasn't needed. She only needed to rinse the bowl under the tap.
On her way out of the canteen, she met a few familiar people. According to the memory left by the original owner, she had impressions of all of them, but she couldn't immediately recall their names. After exchanging perfunctory greetings, Su Yu hurried to the break room to rest.
Inside the break room, there were just some old tables and chairs. Next to them, there were some shelves to put cups, bowls, and chopsticks. She put away her bowl and chopsticks on the shelf and took her cup to drink a sip of water before she sat down on the chair. One after another, people came to the break room. When they saw Su Yu inside, they showed a surprised look.
Everyone at the Jiangdong Textile Factory knew that Su Yu would go home every day to serve her younger siblings. Every day, she was the first to leave and the last to come. It was unprecedented that she didn't go home at noon to cook and went to the canteen to eat instead. In addition, she had come here to rest instead of going home after eating.
Although they were curious, no one disturbed her when they saw that she was lying on the table and sleeping, 
Everyone put their eating utensils away. Some people went back to work, and others lied on the tables to rest. Very soon, the clattering sound subsided.
Su Yu's head moved, revealing an exhausted flushed face.
Ai, this type of life was killing her. There wasn't enough to eat, and she couldn't even find a bed to take an afternoon nap.

Thinking about how she had grown up and lived in luxury until now, Su Yu felt awful.
Riding the tide of reform, her elderly grandfather had made a fortune and led the whole family to a life of prosperity. And so, she was born to a wonderful life without financial worries. Before the age of ten, she was an only child. Her grandfather raised her as if she was a boy that would succeed the family. At that time, Su Yu followed her family's arrangements. There was no other way. If no one stepped up to take charge of the family's assets, how could she live in the future? However, when she was ten years old, to everyone's surprise, her mother gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins. Now that the Su's had a son to inherit, she had had to step aside.
For Su Yu, this was a wonderful thing. Anyways, as a member of the Su's, she wouldn't be left with nothing. She would definitely get a share of the family assets. She was happy to be able to live a good life without working.
Who knew that her father would learn from others and want to marry off his daughter into alliance marriage? If her chosen fiance was good in all aspects, she could have tolerated her father's arrangement. However, her chosen fiance was a person with IQ problems.
At that moment, Su Yu suddenly understood the old saying. It was every person for themselves, and the devil took the hindmost. She wasn't a match for her grandfather's cleverness, but it was easily to deal with her weak and incompetent father. She found someone to set up her father. Her father gambled and lost. To settle his gambling debts, he misappropriated company money. He was immediately kicked out of managing the family business. Her grandfather was getting older, and her younger siblings were still in middle school, so naturally her engagement was cancelled for the sake of the family business. She was able to stay at home in order to help run the family business.
In a few years, she took advantage of her family's business to set up her own company. By the time her family would find out about it, the family's business was only an empty shell.
Like her, the members of the Su's knew that a wise person submitted to circumstances. After determining that no amount of fuss by her relatives would make her lose the assets that she had swallowed, she confessed what she did. Her grandfather, who was already terminally ill, played the affection card with her and told her to care for her younger siblings.
For Su Yu, raising two children was of course no problem, but there was no way she would raise two leeches. That would cost her so much money. And so, after they graduated, she kicked them out to work. They couldn't come home to live rent-free. If they dared to disobey, she would cut off their allowance! Everyone in the family, from the young to the old had to look at her face. She had absolute authority over the Su's.
A few years of being the head of the family had let her completely experience how being in charge of the household felt. After she made up her mind to be the head of the household for the rest of her life, it seemed that the heavens wouldn't let her live a free and easy life. After a good night's sleep, she woke up and was back in 1959. She had become another person with the same name.
