No! We absolutely cannot let our elder brother succeed!

He knew his older brother's personality all too well; he had been selfish and self-serving since childhood.

Even if you drive a big truck and make a lot of money, your family won't benefit at all.

Su Mingfu immediately gripped his schoolbag strap, turned around, and took a shortcut to run home as fast as he could.

"We must get home before the donkey cart arrives!"

This thought drove him to run as fast as he could.

After turning the last corner, Su Mingfu finally saw the gate of his own courtyard.

He rushed in, taking three steps at a time, and almost bumped into his mother who was hanging clothes to dry.

"Mom! Mom! Something terrible has happened!"

Su Mingfu, breathless, grabbed Wang Xiulan's wrist.

Wang Xiulan was startled by him, and the wet clothes in her hand fell to the ground.

"Mingfu? What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

"Big brother! Big brother has brought Grandpa and Grandma here!"

Su Mingfu was panting heavily.

"It's right behind us, we'll be there soon!"

Wang Xiulan's face turned pale instantly.

Although she was gentle by nature, she wasn't stupid and immediately understood the implications.

The husband has been strict with the eldest child lately, so the eldest child has come to call for reinforcements!

"The head of the household is not home."

Wang Xiulan rubbed her hands frantically.

"What should we do now?"

Su Mingfu was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Mom! Think about it, Grandpa and Grandma dote on my older brother the most. If they come, they'll definitely help him get the money. Dad finally agreed to let me repeat a year of high school. What if my older brother takes the money?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Wang Xiulan's head.

She bit her lip and suddenly made up her mind.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here!"

"hide?"

Su Mingfu was taken aback.

"right!"

A resolute glint flashed in Wang Xiulan's eyes.

"Your father said he's the one in charge of this family. The eldest son is going astray, and I can't let the elders get involved."

She strode towards the west wing and called out to it.

"Yu Fen! Come out quickly!"

The eldest daughter, Su Yufen, was mending clothes when she heard the shouts and quickly ran out.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Your older brother has brought Grandpa and Grandma here, so we need to hide for a while."

Wang Xiulan untied her apron as she spoke.

"Quick, let's hide!"

Su Yufen immediately understood her mother's intention and quickly threw it out.

Wang Xiulan quickly locked the doors and windows, hiding the key in a gap in the door frame.

Let's go!

She took a deep breath and quickly left with her two children.

On the way, Wang Xiulan gave instructions.

"Mingfu, let's go tell your Aunt Zhang that if anyone asks, we've gone back to my parents' house."

Su Yufen added.

"I have to say, it's been several days since I left."

Su Mingfu nodded, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

He never expected his usually timid mother to be so decisive at such a crucial moment.

It seems that the changes after the father's rebirth have really affected the whole family.

When they arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, Wang Xiulan briefly explained the situation.

Aunt Zhang has been their neighbor for many years, and they have always been on good terms.

"Don't worry, Xiulan."

Aunt Zhang patted her chest and guaranteed it.

"I'll definitely keep it a secret for you. That Su Mingqiang is outrageous; he even drags his father into it."

Wang Xiulan nodded gratefully and led the children into the inner room of Aunt Zhang's house.

Su Mingfu leaned against the window, nervously observing the movements outside.

About half an hour later, the creaking sound of a donkey cart came from afar.

Su Mingfu's heart jumped again, and he gestured to his mother and eldest sister to keep quiet.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we've arrived at Dad's place."

Su Mingqiang's obsequious voice came through.

"Please take your time, you two."

Then came the voices of my grandparents.

After a while...

Then came the sound of Su Mingqiang banging on the door and calling for help.

"Mom! Mom! Open the door! Grandpa and Grandma are here!"

The knocking on the door grew more urgent, and Su Mingqiang's tone changed from ingratiating to anxious.

"Strange, where is everyone?"

At this moment, Aunt Zhang appeared as agreed.

"Hey, isn't this Mingqiang? Why did you bring the old man here?"

"Aunt Zhang, where's my mother?"

Su Mingqiang asked eagerly.

"Your mother."

Aunt Zhang's voice carried just the right amount of regret.

"Yesterday she took Mingfu and Yufen back to her parents' home, saying that her mother was sick and she needed to take care of her for a while."

"What?"

Su Mingqiang's voice suddenly rose.

"Then... what about my dad?"

"Old Su left early this morning, saying there was an urgent matter at the factory."

Aunt Zhang's answer was perfectly tactful.

"Why don't you go back first? We can talk about it when they get back?"

There was a moment of silence in the courtyard, followed by Grandpa's deep voice.

"Qiangzi, didn't you say your dad knew we were coming?"

"I... I thought he knew..."

Su Mingqiang stammered.

Grandpa gave a heavy "humph".

"Nonsense!"

Su Mingqiang was at a loss; the donkey cart had already gone back.

At this time, there is no way to send the two elderly people back to the village.

Just as he was worrying.

Having just bought a courtyard house, Su Jianguo rode his brand-new Phoenix bicycle into the compound.

The setting sun shone brightly on his face.

He squinted and saw two familiar figures sitting in front of his courtyard gate in the distance.

"Father? Mother?"

Su Jianguo slammed on the brakes, and the tires left two marks on the dirt road.

He rubbed his eyes, afraid it was a hallucination.

His parents died young in his previous life, and he hadn't seen them for decades.

"Build the nation!"
