The family had added so many big items at once, and built a new house. Outsiders were guessing how much money he had made, but Su Tong certainly would not brag about taking private jobs outside, as such things would be criticized, so he always told outsiders that he borrowed money from others and used the money he had saved over the years.

The food at home is definitely better than before. Some time ago, Su Tong used his family's money to find a friend on the bus and bought soap worth dozens of yuan, as well as some daily necessities. He then took the daily necessities to the countryside and exchanged them for food, eggs and other things.

Although buying and selling are not allowed now, it does not mean that they cannot be exchanged. Su Tong told the public that he exchanged with relatives, but his relatives in his hometown were not doing well either. The only thing Su Tong could do was to send some money back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the new year. The two boys in the family were getting bigger and taller, so they had to make new clothes. However, the boys' clothes could no longer be given to the girls and had to be left for the youngest child to wear.

Although Xiao Cui was always unreasonable, Su Tong wanted to find some peace and quiet, so he often gave her some money, asking her to go out and play with friends or watch movies, and to stay at home as little as possible.

After Xiao Cui'er got the money, she pouted in grievance, "Dad, I am your biological daughter. Why do I feel that you treat Hong Duo better than me? Although you gave me money, you also gave Hong Duo money. I heard that you are also preparing a dowry for her. You are not his biological father. What's the point of being so nice to him?"

"I treat her well because your Aunt Xiufen is a good person. I treat her well for your Aunt Xiufen's sake.

I don't want you to argue with Hong Duo, mainly because you are the owner of this house, and Hong Duo is just a guest, you just need to show the proper courtesy to a guest. "

Hearing this, Xiao Cui'er could only nod reluctantly, "I didn't mean to be harsh, they were the ones who deliberately found fault first. They ate and lived in our house, but they didn't have the nose or eyes. Now they live in our house, and they even ride the car you bought for them, but they never call you dad."

Su Tong didn't care about all this mess. He just had to be true to his conscience. Besides, when the two children grew up, one would get married and move out, and the other would get married. Then he would have nothing to do with them anymore. It didn't matter whether they were willing to recognize him or not. Anyway, he didn't have any expectations of them.

The two girls in the family were still young, so there was no need to worry about their work. However, Hong Xing graduated in the blink of an eye. Su Tong used his connections to find her a job as a car mechanic and even supported her in getting a driver's license.

"Don't underestimate this skill. Once you have learned it well, at least you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future." Su Tong spent a lot of money on this job, and even asked several brothers for help. He used up at least all the favors he had accumulated over the years.

Hongxing is not a fool. After graduation, several of his other classmates either took over their parents' businesses, but because of work, many of them had a lot of trouble at home. Some of his classmates even went directly to the countryside. He was still lucky. Although his father passed away early, at least someone arranged his future for him.

Seeing that her son got a job, Xiufen's eyes became less bitter. If it weren't for her little daughter being too noisy, she really felt that life was getting better and better.

"What good job is a car mechanic? Dealing with dirty motor oil all day long. If he was really capable, he should have sent my brother directly to his workplace.

What's the point of treating everyone equally? My own son got into a good unit and is now a cadre, but my brother..."

Xiufen couldn't listen any more, "Stop talking, your Uncle Su is not your biological father, it's already amazing that he can do this, do you want your brother to lose his job in the county? If he loses this job, your brother will have to go to the countryside."

Hong Duo immediately closed her mouth, but there was still an unconvinced look on her face.

Su Tong didn't know about all the twists and turns. After settling his two sons, Su Tong started saving money to prepare the bride prices for his two children, and even the dowries for his two daughters.

Recently, things have been a little more relaxed. Although Su Tong cannot do some small business, he often goes to the scrap recycling station. Then he finds a few old friends who are also electricians and welders, spends money to make a batch of electric fans, and sells them quietly, earning another 700 to 800 yuan.

There are many treasures in the scrap recycling station, and Su Tong picked up quite a few antiques. These things are not worth much money now, but in another 20 or 30 years, they will become priceless treasures and future heirlooms of their Su family.

"Uncle, I have a girlfriend and I plan to come over to visit her in a while." In less than two years, Hong Xing found a girlfriend and was planning to bring her home to meet him.

Su Tong raised his head and said, "Okay, you can set a date and ask someone to exchange a few pounds of meat for you. I will make sure the banquet is done properly."

Hong Xing had a smile on her face, "Uncle, thank you so much. If it weren't for your care over the years, the three of us wouldn't have lived so well."

When Su Tong heard this, he lowered his head with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. The other party did not treat him as a family member at all, but as a sucker. However, he did not want to be a sucker for nothing.

Su Tong looked up with a smile on his face, but his eyes were unusually cold. "Although you are not my biological son, Xiufen has indeed helped the family a lot over the years. I will definitely give you the betrothal gift I promised you before, but I am not a sucker.

I will help you prepare the wedding banquet and even give you a betrothal gift of no less than 50 yuan. As for the rest, you have to prepare it yourself."

"My mother has been married to you for so many years, you should at least help my brother to buy the house and furniture." Hong Duo threw away her chopsticks with a long face.

Hongxing didn't say anything either, and obviously agreed with what her sister said. Haha, she is indeed an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

Su Tong was not afraid. You little bastard, don't you want to settle the score? Then I will settle it for you.

"I haven't done anything to let you two down, have I? Even though your mother married me, I treated you as my own children. I found a job for your brother, bought a car for him, and even built a separate house for you. Other people's children can live in a separate room, aren't you satisfied? I provide you with food and drink, but all these things are wasted?

Also, I am not your biological father. Your biological father is buried in the South Mountain. Don’t you go to worship your biological father during festivals? If you have the guts, go ask your biological father for a gift and dowry. Why are you looking for me?"

The two children were still young and it was the first time they heard such harsh words. Their faces turned pale. They thought Su Tong would agree to their request, but they didn't expect that the other party would righteously refuse.

"Anyway, you two are both grown up. I'll be frank with you. After Hongxing gets married, you can move out directly. Whether you rent a house outside or live in a dormitory, it's none of my business.

And Hongduo, after you get married, if you really want to go back to your parents' home, go find your grandmother and try not to come to my house as much as possible, or you can ask your mother to find a place for you to reunite and don't come to bother me."
