Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 33: Should’ve Brought the Two Old Folks for a Showdown
"Okay, according to what you said, we’ll have your eldest uncle take the job," Su’s mother decided after seeing that no one was objecting.
Although some were unhappy about it, they couldn’t argue with the fact that Su Yijia’s eldest uncle had been caring for her since she was young, which everyone was well aware of. Previously, they thought he was simply being foolish, but now, Su Yijia was married and waiting to claim her inheritance.
"When are you free, Eldest Uncle? We can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to complete your employment procedures," Su Yijia asked.
Lin Jiayao smiled affectionately, "Let’s do it the day after tomorrow."
He had sweated quite a bit today, and his clothes were the best he had, so he didn’t want them to smell bad before he even started working. Tomorrow, he would buy a fresh set of clothes, and the day after tomorrow, he’d wear them for his first day on the job. This job at the supply and marketing cooperative was prestigious, and it had good benefits, but the employees inside were often quite judgmental. So, he wanted to make a good impression on his first day.
After all these matters were discussed, the two families heated up the dishes and set two full tables. Though it wasn’t a grand banquet, since everyone had gathered, they couldn’t just disperse without eating a meal.
During the meal, some of them couldn’t resist poking fun at Su Yijia’s bad luck, highlighting that she had married into a family with a disabled husband like Qin Kaize instead of Qin Mingcheng, who was considered the better option. Su Yijia didn’t give Su Xinmei any face and still exposed her deeds.
For a moment, everyone didn’t know what to say, so they buried themselves in their food, not daring to comment further.
After the meal, no one lingered at the table for long. One by one, they hurriedly left. Lin Jiayao was the last to leave. Before he left, he affectionately reminded Su Yijia of many things.
"Even though your husband is not well, there’s still a chance for him to recover in the future. Take good care of him. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to come find me. If the Qin family mistreats you, make sure to come to me. I’ll stand up for you. Don’t tolerate such things, or you’ll be bullied forever, and your days will be difficult. When it comes to your father and mother..."
Lin Jiayao stopped himself halfway through his sentence when he noticed the three people sitting in the living room. He didn’t say the words that would have implied that even her own parents were untrustworthy.
"Elder Uncle, don’t worry. I understand all of this. I won’t be as passive as I used to be. Anyone who comes will have to think twice before bullying me. Now, I have to take care of my own family. Before doing anything, I’ll think carefully," Su Yijia obediently responded.
Lin Jiayao looked at her with some concern but ultimately left with his family.
“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll go find my husband.” Su Yijia perfunctorily bade them farewells and left behind.
Su’s mother was furious when she saw Su Yijia casually leaving. She scolded her angrily, "Look at her! Does she have no shame? She keeps mentioning her man. She hasn’t even married into the Qin family yet. She’s really making us lose face."
