Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 7

Chapter 7: What kind of trouble is she trying to stir up this time?

Song Chu picked up a spoon and scooped a large spoonful of steamed egg for each of the three little ones.

This action stunned everyone present.

Tang Feng looked at Song Chu and asked, “Yaobao, what are you doing?”

The others also looked at her with puzzled expressions. Was Little Aunt/Little Sister acting strange today?

Song Chu could guess what they were thinking. After all, the original host always hogged all the food.

In order not to deviate from the original character, she said matter-of-factly, “They look so sallow and thin, it’s an eyesore. They should eat some eggs to look better, or else they’ll embarrass me.”

“…” This reason was so unique and refreshing that it left them speechless.

However, this made everyone think that this was the norm. After all, Little Aunt/Little Sister’s way of thinking had never been normal.

“Mom, you eat too.” Then, Song Chu scooped a spoonful into Tang Feng’s bowl with a smile, “You work hard managing the household all day. You should nourish yourself too.”

Tang Feng’s face instantly blossomed into a smile, “My daughter is still the most considerate.”

Then she anger her daughter, “Don’t give us such precious food in the future. You should eat it yourself. I think you’ve lost weight recently.”

“…” The others felt like they couldn’t eat properly anymore. How had Song Chu lost weight? Their mother’s eyesight must be failing her.

Song Chu laughed, “Mom, how precious can eggs be? In a couple of days, I’ll even get you some meat to eat.”

In this family, only Old Lady was completely devoted to her, so she naturally reciprocated the kindness.

“Oh right, this is the money and food coupons that Educated Youth Gu gave me. Mom, you keep them for now. I still have to deliver his meals for the next half month.” Song Chu took the money and coupons out of her pocket and handed them over. This was also a deliberate move to make things clear to the family, so that no one would have any objections to her delivering the meals later.

Seeing the ten yuan and food coupons, Tang Feng smiled even more happily and immediately took them, “My Yaobao is really capable.”

She didn’t expect this Educated Youth Gu to be so generous. Her daughter really had a good eye.

Then, under Luo Qiuju and Song Lao Er’s burning gazes, she put the money away and glared at them, “What are you looking at? Eat.”

Song Lao Er was heartbroken. If he had known that Little Sister could get so much money and coupons from Educated Youth Gu, he would have tried to butter her up earlier. Now that it had fallen into his mother’s hands, it was like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.

Everyone continued to eat. It was the first time the three little ones had been taken care of by their aunt. They couldn’t wait to eat the eggs in their bowls.

But Luo Qiuju was quicker, taking her daughter’s bowl and preparing to scoop the egg into her son’s bowl, “What does a money-losing girl need eggs for? Let your brother have it.”

“Yes, I should have it,” Song Erwa echoed.

Song Daniu’s eyes immediately reddened, but she didn’t dare to say anything. She could only lower her head, her hand tightly gripping her patched pants.

Song Chu knew that Song Erwa and Song Daniu were both Big Brother’s children, but Big Sister-in-Law was someone who strongly favored boys over girls. Boys were treated like treasures, while girls were treated like dirt.

Therefore, although Song Daniu was two years older than Song Erwa, she looked much smaller and thinner.

She slammed her chopsticks on the table with a “thud” and looked at Luo Qiuju with a stern face, “This is for Daniu. If you dare to give it to Erwa, you’ll see what happens.”

Luo Qiuju’s action of scooping the egg stopped abruptly. She said pointedly, “I just wanted to give Erwa some nourishment. He’s the only golden grandson in our family.”

Having a son was also the source of her arrogance in the family.

These words made Song Lao Er’s wife, Tian Xiu, who had been sitting quietly without a sense of presence, grip her chopsticks tighter. The second branch only had one daughter, Song Sanniu, and because she had injured herself during childbirth, she might only be able to have this one daughter.

Song Chu was speechless, “Do you think there’s an imperial throne to inherit in this family? Acting like it’s still the feudal era with this preference for boys over girls. This is a new era now. We advocate for equality between men and women.”

Then she declared, “From now on, men and women are equal in this family. Whatever Erwa has, Daniu and Sanniu will have too.”

The two little girls in the family, one eight years old and the other five years old, were both very sensible and diligent.

◈◈◈

“Mom, am I right?” After she finished, she looked at the head of the family and asked.

Tang Feng was mainly biased towards her daughter, and her attitude towards her grandson and granddaughter didn’t differ much, “Yes, from now on, men and women are equal in this family.”

“Don’t bring that feudal remnant thinking from your family here,” she glared at Luo Qiuju warningly.

Lao Da’s eyes were really bad, to actually marry such a homewrecker into the family.

Luo Qiuju was furious. She didn’t think she was wrong, but she didn’t dare to confront her mother-in-law and the fierce Little Aunt who could fight. She sullenly slammed the bowl in front of Daniu, “Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat.”

This startled Daniu, who didn’t dare to touch her chopsticks anymore.

Song Chu glanced at Luo Qiuju and said to Song Daniu, “Don’t pay attention to her. This is for you. Just eat it.”

It was the first time Song Daniu had been treated like this. She raised her head, her eyes red, and looked at Song Chu, saying timidly, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Song Sanniu used to be afraid of Song Chu, but since her aunt had given her the egg soup she had always craved, she followed her sister’s example and softly said, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Tian Xiu also looked at Song Chu gratefully. She only had this one daughter and naturally doted on her. It’s just that she had no status in the family and couldn’t fight for anything for her daughter.

Song Chu smiled and said, “Good girl, eat up.”

The next day, Song Chu didn’t sleep in like the original host. She got up at dawn, which surprised the family again.

After breakfast, she asked Tang Feng to take her to her Eldest Maternal Uncle to arrange work.

Tang Min’s family had also just finished breakfast. When they saw the mother and daughter come in, the whole family was stunned.

Song Chu greeted everyone according to her memory.

Tang Feng smiled and said, “Big Brother, my Yaobao isn’t going to take the high school entrance exam anymore. She wants to start working from today, so please arrange something for her.”

Tang Min was a little surprised. He looked at his fair-skinned and delicate niece, “Do you really want to work?”

Don’t be fooled by her well-behaved appearance now. He knew exactly what kind of person she was. She was usually lazy and fierce. Why would she want to work?

Song Chu knew that changing others’ perceptions of her wouldn’t happen overnight. She had to prove it slowly through her actions, “I feel like staying at home all day isn’t a good solution. Other girls my age are all working, and I don’t want to be idle either.”

Hearing her say this, Tang Min’s serious expression softened a bit, “Then what do you want to do?”

“I read a book in the county library before, specifically about how to raise pigs scientifically, so I want to give it a try,” Song Chu replied.

Tang Min was stunned and asked uncertainly, “You mean you want to raise pigs?”

It wasn’t just him. Everyone else in the Tang family had the same thought: Had the sun risen from the west?

“Yes, I want to raise pigs,” Song Chu replied.

“Raising pigs is not an easy job. Have you thought it through?” The clean and lazy niece actually wanted to raise pigs. Tang Min found it a bit unbelievable.

Song Chu nodded, confidently saying, “Chairman said that women can hold up half the sky. I feel that since I’ve learned some knowledge, I should put it into practice and contribute to the construction of our country.”

“…” If they didn’t know what kind of person she was, everyone present would have thought she was a highly conscious and good comrade.

But knowing her true nature, everyone was wondering what kind of trouble she was trying to stir up this time.
