Chapter 36: My younger brother is a snitch, we are both miserable people

Su Zhongguo had no idea that his younger brother was thinking about him, so after the Su family left, he took the Li family back to the yard.

His uncle advised him to be more open-minded, and his father told him that this would always be his home.

With this group of relatives who truly cared about him around, the grievances and anger in his heart slowly dissipated.

Especially when the daughter-in-law put her daughter in her arms, all her anger disappeared.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

The housewarming party was very lively. The men drank until late at night and felt like they were at home.

But late at night, Su Zhongguo couldn't help but hug his wife and feel wronged.

Li Guixiang knew that he was feeling wronged, so she let him act like that. However, he became more and more unreasonable, and was not afraid of waking up his daughter next to him.

"That's enough. If you keep making trouble, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Finally, under Li Guixiang's strong pressure, the absurdity in this room ended.

The next day, Su Zhongnian arrived at Lijia Village early.

He went to the new house first, but when he saw a big lock on the gate, he turned and went next door.

This was not his first time visiting his sister-in-law's parents' home, so he naturally knew the way.

When he came over, Li's mother was already washing clothes for the family in the yard. "Zhongnian, why are you here?" She recognized him at a glance and asked immediately.

She still remembers what happened yesterday and can't let her son-in-law suffer any more injustice.

"Are you here to look for your eldest brother?" Li's mother said with dissatisfaction, "He finally escaped from your den of evil. Just let him go."

Su Zhongnian blushed, but there were some things he had to tell his elder brother, otherwise he would feel guilty.

"Aunt, I need to find my elder brother for something. Could you please call him for me?" He still forced himself to ask Aunt Li to call his elder brother for him, but he himself did not even step into the Li family's yard.

Mother Li was naturally unhappy, but Father Li came out of the kitchen and said, "Alright, they are just children. Let Zhongguo handle this himself. I'll go get him."

As he said this, he walked towards the west room.

Su Zhongguo drank a little too much yesterday and was also very tired after working for a long time, so he was sleeping soundly at this moment.

With his daughter and daughter-in-law sleeping beside him, he expressed his happiness to Zhou Gong with a satisfied look on his face.

However, just as he was about to show off, a familiar shouting voice came from outside, forcing him to interrupt his show-off.

"Zhongguo, wake up quickly. Dad is calling you. He's so anxious. I'm afraid something has happened." Li Guixiang woke up first and immediately pushed Su Zhongguo who was lying next to her.

Su Zhongguo also opened his eyes, "I heard it, I'll get up right away."

Su Jiani woke up naturally. She woke up at this time every day and just happened to hear what her parents said.

My heart started to chirp again, "Dad is so lazy, still sleeping, hum."

As soon as the little girl spoke her mind, Su Zhongguo and Li Guixiang knew that she had woken up too.

"Hey, you're awake, are you missing daddy? Come, daddy will hug you, daddy will kiss you."

Su Jiani was a little shy as her father had kissed her a lot recently. "Hmph, no kiss, no kiss, you stinky boy." She yelled and turned her head away.

Li Guixiang, who was standing by, didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. She slapped her man twice and said, "Alright, stop teasing Jiani. Be careful or she might pee on you."

This little girl holds a grudge.

Su Zhongguo didn't dare to delay, so he put on his clothes and went out.

Li Guixiang first changed Su Jiani's diaper, then put clothes on her, and then tidied herself up. After she was done, she went out.

As soon as she came out, she saw her third brother sitting in the yard. She was a little confused, but didn't ask much. She smiled and called out to him and went into the kitchen.

"Third brother is here, have you eaten yet?"

Su Zhongnian looked at his sister-in-law who looked younger than ever, and felt extremely sad. He knew that his mother was not good to his sister-in-law, but the contrast was too obvious.

"Sister-in-law, I ate it."

"Okay, tell your brother, I'll go wash Jiani's face." After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

Su Zhongguo had a very bad face and he was also unhappy with his younger brother.

But he is still young, and to be honest, he can't hate him.

"What are you doing here?" Su Zhongguo asked calmly while washing his face with the hot water poured for him by Li's mother.

Su Zhongnian felt envious of how well Li's parents treated his elder brother.

He smiled bitterly, "Brother, what happened yesterday was because Second Brother wanted your house and was after your money. You better be careful. Dad said you stole something from him. I don't know what it was, but you better be careful."

He should just come over and explain why he's here. If he's not welcome, he can just leave.

Just as Su Zhongguo was about to speak, his daughter's cricket chirping sound rang out again.

"It's Third Uncle. He's one of the few people in the Su family who managed to escape the cage. Unfortunately, his end was so miserable. Not only was he forced to never return to the Su family, but he also lost one of his hands just to save Su Jiayi who fell into the water. How pitiful."

"According to the date, Su Jiayi will be born soon. I wonder if the Su family can still give her the title of lucky star now that her father is gone."

Su Jiani naturally resented Su Jiayi. She was the root of everything. If it weren't for her, her parents and brothers would not have ended up like that.

Humph, when it comes to your enemies, you must attack them quickly, fiercely and accurately, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"It's just pitiful for Third Uncle. Because of Grandpa and Grandma's partiality, he still hasn't been able to marry at the age of 25. Not only that, he had to work like a slave in the Su family for many years, and in the end, he even lost an arm."

Su Jiani was chirping happily when a hot towel was put on her little face, making her face twist immediately.

The voice in my heart naturally stopped.

Li Guixiang would never say that she did it on purpose. Humph, none of the Su family members are good.

Although her third brother had a little conscience, she was unwilling to see him go against the Su family.

Having finally escaped from the cage, she was unwilling to let her family be stuck with the Su family again.

"Mom, be gentle, be gentle, my skin is tender."

She used her hands and feet to resist her mother's violence.

Li Guixiang was so angry that she laughed, "You are a girl, you have to be clean. If you don't wash your face, you are not a fragrant baby."

He cleaned her little face in a few seconds and handed her to her old mother who was glaring at her.

"Mom, it's just washing my face, why are you so nervous?"

Mother Li rolled her eyes at her and said, "How old is she? Do you need to be so strong?" Really, she's already a mother, but she still has such a bad temper.

"That's right, that's right, grandma, please teach Mom a lesson. She did it on purpose. Look, my face is red."

In Li's mother's ears, she only heard her granddaughter's babbling, but in Li Guixiang's ears, her daughter was looking for help.

"It's not that strong, Mom, just go and eat. Don't worry about what's going on outside."

He put down the towel and pushed her mother to sit at the table.

Father Li glanced at his daughter and said nothing.

"Be good, don't be angry, grandpa will teach your mother a lesson later."

"Yeah, grandpa must have taught mom a lesson. She can use force."

Li Guixiang didn't want to argue with her, so she went to wash her face.

Outside the hospital.

Su Zhong stared at his younger brother. He learned from his daughter's inner voice that his younger brother also lost an arm because of the second brother's daughter. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sad.

But, how good is his own family?

Some died, some went crazy, and in the end there was no good outcome. Their whole family has not been rescued yet. Let’s forget about my younger brother’s matter. He should find a way to stay away from the Su family.

It is easy to say that you want to break off relations, but it is extremely difficult to actually implement it. The elders in the clan will not agree to it. Dividing the family is a small matter, after all, the roots are big and the branches are numerous, but breaking off relations is absolutely not allowed.

"Dad has money, so why are you eyeing my things? Does he really think that everything owned by the Su family is his?" Su Zhongguo was extremely disappointed with his second brother.

"Who gave him the face?"

Seeing his eldest brother angry, Su Zhongnian looked embarrassed, "Second brother is like that, big brother, you know it, I came here to tell you, be careful of second brother."

After saying that, he stood up, knowing that he was not welcome, and he planned to leave.

However, just as he stood up, Su Zhongnian told his eldest brother that his father had a treasure chest.

He hadn't intended to tell this, but for some reason, he said it anyway.

It was also because of what he said that Su Zhongguo later saved his life and escaped from the Su family.

｜"Brother, Dad is rich. Dad picked up a treasure chest on the day my niece was born. There is a lot of gold in it." The voice was very soft, so soft that only they brothers could hear it.

"Brother, I'm leaving. If possible, don't go back."

My eldest brother is living a real life now. In the past, he didn’t even have the face to make excuses for his family.

Watching his departing back, the towel in Su Zhongguo's hand fell into the washbasin.

When Li Guixiang came out, Su Zhongguo was still staring at Su Zhongnian's receding back.

"What are you doing?" Li Guixiang pushed him. "I'm telling you, don't get involved in the Su family's affairs. I've finally gotten rid of them, and I don't want to go back to being a farmhand." Li Guixiang warned.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He hadn't thought of going back. "Am I that stupid? I don't know the situation of the second brother's daughter yet, so I don't dare to bet with you."

No one is more important than his wife and children, not even his brothers.

"I'm glad you know it. If you dare to let us suffer any injustice, Su Zhongguo, you will have to live alone for the rest of your life." Humph, she is very confident now.

"Wife." Su Zhongguo immediately felt aggrieved when he heard this. "Are you planning to abandon me? No, I can't leave you."

Seeing that he was becoming more and more naughty, Li Guixiang glared at him, picked up the washbasin and went into the kitchen.

"Hurry up, the porridge is getting cold."

Su Zhongguo chuckled foolishly, then quickly washed his face, "Here I come."

At the dinner table, Li's father and mother did not ask what Su Zhongnian had said to him, but only talked about some things about working in the fields.

"Now all the property is distributed to each household. Although your household registration has been transferred here, the land has not been moved here. What do you think of the land in Sujia Village?"

You can't panic.

"Dad, I don't want the land anymore, and I don't want to go back to Sujia Village. When you are free, ask your uncle to negotiate with them. It would be best if they can exchange my land for me." Su Zhongguo listened to his wife's words and didn't show up.

Father Li nodded. "Well, it would be great if your uncle could speak with you. However, you three can't keep buying food for yourself. If you have time, you should go to the foot of the mountain and reclaim some wasteland. There's a government decree now that all reclaimed wasteland belongs to the landowners."

He is an old farmer and what he values ​​most is land. He knows that his son-in-law has money, but he cannot be without land.

Su Zhongguo didn't care. It was just clearing the land, which required some effort.

But Li Guixiang was not happy. She had suffered for so many years, and now God finally opened his eyes. She would not let her man be trapped in the fields for the rest of his life.

"Dad, let's talk about this later. Zhongguo has been in poor health these years. If he opens up new land, his health will be ruined. Besides, our family is not short of money, so let's forget about the new land."

"If I want the land from the Su family back, I can take it back. If I don't want it back, I'll give it to the Su family. Just think of it as Zhongguo repaying the Su family's blood debt." Her idea now is very simple. She must not have any contact with the Su family.

"Tell your uncle and see what the Su family says. If it doesn't work out, just sell it. You can't let outsiders get it for a bargain."

Father Li was a little angry when he heard his daughter said so little about the land: "What do you know? Without land, how will you eat? What? You want to eat me and your mother? Humph, money has a limit. What will you do if you spend it all?"

He couldn't bear to see others not cherish the land.

"Dad, you know how much money we have. We can't finish it even if we try our best. So please don't worry about it. I know you are doing this for our own good, but we also have our own ideas."

Li Guixiang didn't want her man to suffer. "At worst, I can let Zhongguo and Baojun buy a job in the city." Jobs can still be bought these days.

Seeing that his father-in-law's face was becoming increasingly ugly, Su Zhongguo immediately grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand, shook his head at her, and told her to stop talking.

"Dad, don't listen to Guixiang's nonsense. The fields still need to be cultivated. Let me cultivate Baojun's fields. I don't ask for much. Just enough food for the three of us mothers." He didn't care about clearing wasteland, but his wife felt sorry for him, and he couldn't refuse her kindness.

"Dad, do you think this will work? Don't worry, I'll help you farm the fields at home."

Father Li gave his daughter a look, but he finally felt better after hearing his son-in-law's words. "You are all adults now, with your own ideas. I will listen to you. You can farm Baojun's land first. Things are different now. Now everyone is responsible for their own production. You farm your own land, and you eat what you work for."

Su Jiani was so happy when she heard this. She also didn't want her father to work too hard. He had suffered so much in the first half of his life. If she didn't take good care of him now, he would suffer a lot in the future.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad doesn't want to farm. Let Dad do business, so that our family won't be short of money." Su Jiani raised her hand and waved in the direction of her grandfather.

Li Guixiang and Su Zhongguo, who could hear her thoughts, looked at each other and said, doing business is just speculation. What if they get caught?

Li Guixiang thought to herself, no, no, my daughter is being unreasonable.

Su Zhongguo looked at his daughter in his mother-in-law's arms. The little girl was having a lot of fun.

"Guixiang, eat faster. It will be your turn soon. Let mother have some peaceful meal." Su Zhongguo also quickened his eating pace.

"Um."

The couple ate faster together and then put down their bowls and chopsticks together.

"Jiani must be hungry. I'll make some malted milk for you. Go back to the house and feed her."

When doing business, he needs to ask about this matter carefully.

Although it is the early 1980s, there is no one doing business in the town. Don’t people go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things?
