Chapter 86: Changes on New Year's Eve

When Su Wanqi was hesitating, Uncle Su sneered, "Wanqi, you have become successful now and have a good son-in-law, so you look down on other people in the Su family. So, if you don't take care of your mother one day, move out of the Su family tree! When you die in the future, don't be buried in the Su family's land. Your father is gone, and your mother can't control you. I still have some say!"

What's going on? This is a fatal matter! Su Wanqi panicked instantly: "Uncle! How can I ignore my mother? If you want to buy Wujin Pills, then I'll go buy them. I just don't know where to buy Wujin Pills?"

Su Changzheng sneered: "You go buy it? If you hadn't lost the passbook, our father wouldn't have died! You pay for it, and I'll be responsible for buying it. This way, we brothers have both contributed a lot!"

Su Dawei beside him said quickly, "But don't the people selling Wujin Pills have a holiday? It's already the 29th of the lunar year, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Even if we go to buy it, it's not the right time to buy it on the whole day! What should grandma do?"

He just wanted to delay time, because Su Dawei felt that his uncle's family was abnormal and the pain in his grandmother's body was unreasonable!

Moreover, he also wanted to ask around to find out what the Wujin Pill was!

Su Wanqi said quickly, "Yes, I can't come up with the money right away. I have to get some money together. Tomorrow morning I will go get some Chinese medicine for mom. You can take it first. I will get the money together on the third day of the New Year, and then I will ask my eldest brother to buy Wujin Pills."

Su Changzheng was satisfied when he saw that Su Wanqi agreed to pay. Old Lady Su's humming became quieter. Chen Jiao'e said, "This is what my uncle heard in person. Second brother, if you don't keep your word and refuse to pay for our mother's medical treatment, I will expel you from the family tree!"

Su Wanqi gave her a cold look and did not answer.

Finally, the crowd dispersed, and the two Su brothers sent Uncle Su back home. Later, the second brother Su went home again and took a few steamed buns made of fine flour to give to Old Lady Su. Only then did the matter settle down a little.

But Old Lady Su reminded her several times: "Bring the money on the third day of the New Year and ask your eldest brother to buy me Wujin Pills, otherwise I won't be able to hold on for a day!"

Su Wanqi looked at his biological mother, and recalled that his mother had always favored his eldest brother since he was a child. Later, after the incident of the passbook being lost, his mother favored his eldest brother even more to the point of being justified in doing so, but she never saw the sadness of her youngest son. Su Wanqi felt very uncomfortable.

He really hoped that his mother would one day see his hard work and grievances.

He was also willing to take his mother home and take good care of her, but...

Su Wanqi took a deep breath and said, "You are my mother, I will not ignore you."

Old Mrs. Su snorted: "It's good that you know!"

After coming back from the big house, Su Wanqi sat there in vain for the whole night. When Wang Yumei first learned about this, she was indignant and wanted to make a fuss, but what was the use of making a fuss?

Outsiders don’t care how much injustice you have suffered. They only see that Old Lady Su is Su Wanqi’s biological mother. Everyone thinks it is normal for a mother to beat and scold her son. If the son is not filial in the slightest, it is considered a huge act of disobedience!

If Su Wanli was really expelled from the Su family tree, that would be such an embarrassing thing. Rural people pay the most attention to status and family, which is a sense of belonging to one's destiny.

The couple was at a loss, so early the next morning Su Wanqi went to buy some Chinese medicine for Old Mrs. Su and sent it to her.

New Year's Eve was relatively peaceful. The big family had simple meals and everyone was waiting for the thirty yuan that Su Wanqi would send on the third day of the new year.
