After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
Seeing Wei Baichuan's insistence, Su Ti finally nodded. She thought of what her mother had said about the family situation.
They will eventually return to the city, and Wei Baichuan will encounter people even more difficult than the Wei family. It's fine to let him go out and gain experience on his own.
Wei Baichuan had no idea that in his wife's eyes, he was a pitiful little thing who could be bullied at any time.
Wei Baichuan didn't explain much; compared to anyone else in the Wei family, he was indeed the most pitiful.
Wei Baidao, who was rushing home, was unaware that his second brother had followed him. He couldn't understand how Wei Baichuan dared to make a move.
"Bai Dao, how did it go? Did you get the item?" Huang Cuifen had been waiting at the door and hurriedly came out to greet her when she saw her youngest son.
The food at home has been terrible these past few days. The shameless Sutina even took away all the new grain, so the old grain is really hard to swallow now.
The chickens at home were also wasted. She couldn't bear to eat the meat and pickled it instead, because the autumn harvest was coming in a few days and the house couldn't be without the smell of meat.
The group was so hungry they were seeing stars. She had heard that the little bitch's parents had brought a lot of good stuff.
Several families living not far from them said they had been smelling meat for the past two days. They said it was heartless; they were eating and drinking well while not caring about their parents' well-being.
“Mom, my second brother hit me. Before I could say anything, he kicked me. Now that he’s doing well, he looks down on our family.”
When Wei Baidao saw Huang Cuifen looking so aggrieved, he didn't say anything yet, but he did offer a few words of advice to his second brother.
"What did you say? The second son hit you? Where did he hit you? Let your mother see him. This son of a bitch has gone too far."
Upon hearing this, Huang Cuifen became anxious and hurriedly pulled Wei Baidao over to touch and rub him.
“My second brother kicked me to the ground. He’s completely heartless now. I could let it go, but he doesn’t even care about our parents. This is just too much.”
Wei Baidao knew that he was nothing on his own, and the accusation of being unfilial to his parents seemed even more justified.
"That bastard is an ingrate, an ungrateful wretch. He's climbed up the social ladder and doesn't know who he is anymore."
Huang Cuifen was also angry. Even after the family split up, those filial children would always serve their parents a portion of whatever they ate first.
Forget about the second son's family; that second son is heartless and doesn't care about their lives at all!
This time, Su Nianyou was pregnant, and there was really nothing at home to nourish her, so she thought it wouldn't hurt to ask Baidao to ask for some food.
They went openly and honestly, and they weren't afraid even if the people in the brigade found out. Their son was doing well, and they couldn't just watch his parents starve to death, could they?
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be surnamed Wei at all." Wei Baichuan could hear his mother's curses and insults from afar, but he was as calm as could be.
"You dare come here again? I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard!" Huang Cuifen was startled by his voice. She looked back and saw that he was all alone. She immediately jumped out and was about to attack.
If anyone dares to hit her youngest son, she'll beat him to death. She refuses to believe that anyone can say anything when a mother hits her son.
"Go ahead and do it. Once you do it here, I'll expose all your family's shameful secrets tomorrow."
Wei Baichuan looked at Huang Cuifen, who was full of imposing manner and looked at him like an enemy, and said calmly.
He didn't take action before because he didn't want to, but now he's not taking action because he's betting they won't dare to.
"Old woman, let him in!" Huang Cuifen was startled by her husband's angry roar before she could even hit him.
He was stunned when he realized what Wei Baichuan had just said. Looking at him again, he felt even more hatred. What did he mean by those words?
When Wei Baichuan heard Wei Changgen, who had always been hiding in the back watching others fight for him, speak up, he felt even more ironic.
"Second son, what do you want to say?" Wei Changgen looked at his second son and felt that he was a stranger to him for the first time.
They've grown wings and learned to threaten their parents.
"Everyone's here. What do you think I want to say?" When Wei Baichuan stepped into the Wei family home, he felt completely unfamiliar with the place.
“Second son, no matter what, you still bear the surname Wei.” Wei Changgen looked at his son seriously.
He used to always keep his head down, as if he had never looked at him directly. Now that he could see his face clearly, with that similar appearance, he felt a tightness in his chest.
"Don't give me that. Don't tell me I'm surnamed Wei, that I owe you, that I have to be your slave to repay you, that I have to be your filial son."
"I have to help my brothers, I have to not talk back when they curse or fight back when they hit me, otherwise I'm an ingrate, I'm heartless, is there anything else to say?"
Wei Baichuan glanced at Huang Cuifen, whose eyes were filled with hatred; he was tired of hearing these words.
"Did I say something wrong? You are..." Huang Cuifen became even angrier when she saw his reaction.
"Alright, that's enough. Second brother, what brings you here?" Wei Changgen interrupted Huang Cuifen's rant; he was more worried about something else.
"Have you forgotten those people hiding in the mountains?" Wei Baichuan looked at Wei Changgen's anxious expression and couldn't understand how he had been controlled by such people all these years.
"You... how did you know?" Wei Changgen suddenly stood up from his chair, looking at Wei Baichuan whose face was as pale as paper.
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place." Wei Baichuan was a little surprised to see Wei Changgen's hands trembling so badly and cold sweat beading on his temples.
All these years, he has always been aloof and superior; this is the first time I've seen him so panicked.
Could it be that the people in the mountains are not as simple as he discovered? For some reason, Wei Baichuan felt a sense of satisfaction seeing him like this.
"What exactly do you want?" Wei Changgen's face was ashen, and his voice became very sharp.
"I just want you to behave yourselves and stay far away from us in the future." Wei Baichuan sneered. Why pretend to be ignorant when he knows exactly what he's doing here?
"Second brother, from beginning to end, it's your wife who's causing us trouble. We haven't gotten anything in return. You're being unreasonable."
Wei Changgen was nervous, but he still had to retort.
“Has my wife ever caused you any trouble? Every time, it was you who started it first.” Wei Baichuan knew exactly what they were thinking.
I didn't want to let them off so easily; I was just unwilling to accept that I hadn't gotten anything out of them.
If he had married a penniless man, they would have kicked him out long ago.
"No matter what, once that gets out, you can't escape it." Wei Changgen became even more determined when he saw him like this.
"Have you forgotten what kind of background my wife's family has? If something really happens, protecting me alone shouldn't be a problem."
Now that Wei Baichuan is here, can he still be threatened by them?
He bet the Wei family wouldn't dare; the Wei family in the past wouldn't dare, and the Wei family now that they have nothing would dare even less.
