The Sorrows of Wage Slaves

Su Siyang saw his younger sister off.

Although he had often tricked Su Qi with his mother when he was younger, the thought of tricking his sister again caused him unprecedented and intense remorse after learning that Su Qi was his younger sister.

After sending Lu Ran a WeChat that he had already set off, and also sending a map of the Special Car's itinerary, Su Siyang quickly received a response from his mother.

Su Siyang hesitated for a moment, then decided not to tell his mother the truth: Su Qi was a girl!

If I told them, how could it be considered a surprise? After all, I was quite surprised myself back then!

However, Su Siyang felt regretful that he couldn't see their expressions.

Lu Ran looked at the surprise gift her son had sent, the one that was about to arrive.

This time she was certain that the surprise would definitely come from her youngest son. Could it be that Su Qi would come back dressed as a woman?

Never mind, never mind, Lu Ran looked at the six-hour drive ahead and was about to drive off to buy groceries when she heard a humming sound.

Following the sound, I saw Su Lujun turning her head to the side, muttering, "Sigh, some people have such a temper, their lungs are about to explode!"

Lu Ran walked over, amused, and pinched Su Lujun's shoulder, saying in a coquettish tone, "Honey, didn't I miss Xiao Qi too? You secretly went to see him last year. You may not miss him, but I really do!"

Sighing, upon hearing his secret revealed, Su Lujun blushed, stood up from his stool, and said, "Me? Was I looking at him? What's so interesting about that brat? I was looking at my old comrade-in-arms!"

As they spoke, they met Lu Ran's smiling eyes.

"You have no strength at all, it's just a weak press. I'm leaving, I'm going to find Old Zhao to play chess, and try to come back and give him a good laugh!" Su Lujun walked out of the house, fanning himself.

"What a pathetic sight," Lu Ran said, looking at Su Lujun was practically fleeing in panic.

Without Su Lujun, Lu Ran pondered the surprise Su Siyang had mentioned. What could it be?

Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll see it soon anyway. What should I make for Xiaoqi later?

After thinking about it, Lu Ran decided to drive around the city. Staying in a villa area was fine, but the food options were a bit of a hassle.

Under a large tree, two middle-aged men are playing chess on a chessboard in the shade.

Suddenly, a Volkswagen slowly drove by.

"Hey, isn't that your car?" If Su Qi were here, she would definitely recognize the person who spoke as Grandpa Zhao.

"What do you mean, 'your car,' General!" Su Lujun said, lowering the car to the ground.

Grandpa Zhao looked at the chessboard and said, "Where's my rook? Did you take it?"

"Don't you like looking at other cars? I'll confiscate one." Su Lujun said without changing his expression.

"Ha, you old deadbeat, I'll take your car too!" As he spoke, Grandpa Zhao also confiscated his car.

"Ha, you dare to take my car?" As he spoke, Su Lujun took one of Zhao Daye's horses.

"You dare take my horse?! I'll take your horse too!"

"Who are you taking? 'Taking your horse!'" And so, not long after, a pile of garbage appeared at the entrance of the villa area. Interestingly...

Their trash never even gets into their own dustpan.

Perhaps this is the standard way to enjoy gossip.

Inside the Special Car, the driver, dressed in a suit and tie, looked at the young woman in the rearview mirror. Although she was still wearing the ethereal Hanfu she had been in before, her somewhat melancholic mood made her seem less lively. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Passenger, there are lollipops on the back seats. If you'd like, having one will cheer you up."

"No, no." Su Qi, feeling embarrassed to accept favors from others, quickly refused.

But Officer Zhang Ru peeled open a strawberry-flavored Alps and, while Su Qi was talking, stuffed it into her mouth!

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Seeing that the candy had already entered her mouth, Su Qi could only mumble, "Thank you, Master Shi."

The driver replied, "It's okay, it's not expensive! I'm glad you're in a better mood!"

Officer Zhang Ru, who was standing to the side, felt that the mother and son were really wicked, making the little girl so worried, but she was too embarrassed to tell them the truth.

Based on her experience as a police officer, she knew that saying something at this moment would inevitably make her take the blame. Because in a sense, she could be considered an accomplice!

Thinking about it this way, she felt terrible. How could such a fair, just, and impartial police officer have unwittingly done such a thing?

After a two-second reflection, she quickly shifted the blame onto Su Siyang. She felt much better.

With Alps lollipop in her mouth, Su Qi's attention was drawn to the lollipop.

She hadn't eaten this lollipop for about eight years, and to her surprise, it still tasted the same as before. She remembered that when she was in elementary school, secretly eating lollipops in class was very popular.

Su Qi remembered that, in order to avoid being discovered by the teacher, they would put the lollipop and stick into their mouths together when the teacher approached.

At the time, Su Qi naively thought that the teacher would definitely not notice. Now, looking in the car mirror, her puffed-out cheeks looked like a little hamster, which couldn't be more obvious.

Officer Zhang Ru also looked over at this moment. Seeing Su Qi's hamster-like appearance, she felt that this little girl was a treasure. How could she be so cute even when eating a lollipop?

The driver glanced silently at Su Qi in the back seat. The little girl's face was beaming with a smile, and her clear eyes had regained their original brightness and sparkle.

The driver couldn't help but think of his own daughter, a little girl; it's best for Guoxin to be carefree.

The car is still on the road.

Just then, a gurgling sound came from the front. Su Qi thought it was her stomach gurgling, but she didn't expect it to be the driver in front of her.

"Sir, how about we grab a bite to eat in the city ahead?" Officer Zhang Ru offered a friendly suggestion. She was tired after driving for nearly two hours.

"No, it's an old problem of mine, it's nothing," the driver replied.

Officer Zhang Ru always uses ride-hailing Special Car, which is something she knows. Special Car is expensive, not only because of the service, but also because of the platform's monitoring system. If you stay in one place for too long, your service fee will be automatically deducted.

Although this seems extremely inhumane, it's the platform's rule, so perhaps this is the tragedy of working people!

"Driver, let's stop at the rest stop after we get off the highway. We're getting a bit hungry too!" Officer Zhang Ru knew there was a recording device in the car, so she said this on purpose!

This way, if the system determines that the service fee has been reduced, the driver can appeal by recording the incident.

"Okay, then I'll stop at the rest stop later!" the driver replied.

Su Qi listened to their conversation while lightly licking her lollipop.

They had no idea that those few words had conveyed several layers of meaning.

She, being a little naive, only heard the first part. "Dinner will be ready soon!"
