Chapter 12 I can’t sleep again tonight

"Su Buqing, you dare to hit me!" Xiao Qin spoke slowly, then rushed forward, burying her head in Su Laoer's arms. "Hit me, hit me, hit me to death!"

The noise of fighting woke up the youngest son. Su Zhaoyan opened his eyes and saw his parents fighting with each other.

The child, who had never seen such a scene, was so scared that he burst into tears.

The eldest son and the second son pulled their parents apart one by one.

"Su Buqing, you have guts! Go ahead and beat me, beat me to death! Beat me to death so that I can have peace and not suffer in this damn place! Woo woo..." Little Qin was crying with disheveled hair, and kept hitting her husband with her head.

"Mom! Wow..." Su Zhaoyan cried and hugged his mother's thighs.

"You, you shrew! You are unreasonable!" Su Laoer was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at Xiao Qinshi, not knowing what to curse.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Su Bucheng asked outside the door. People from other rooms ran to the yard and looked into the house.

Mrs. Du, Mrs. Wei, and Old Madam Su came in.

"What's wrong with Jiuniang?" Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei went to help Xiao Qinniang with concern.

"Hmph! There's no need for you to be so kind!" Xiao Qin twisted her body and turned her face away from her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei's faces froze. They didn't know how they had offended Xiao Qin, and her anger was inexplicably directed at them.

"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, don't pay attention to her! She's going crazy!" Su Laoer took a deep breath and said in a calm tone.

"Who is crazy! As a man, you dare not even fart! I am so unlucky to marry a loser like you!" Xiao Qin cursed loudly, like a mad woman.

"Bang!" A crutch hit my back.

"Ouch!" Xiao Qin cried out in pain. She turned around and saw that her arrogance had disappeared immediately. "Mother!"

Old Madam Su glared at Xiao Qin with her cloudy eyes. "You're outrageous! Who gave you the guts to speak so rudely in front of your man? Did your parents teach you that?"

Xiao Qin was the daughter of her cousin from her mother's side. When her cousin came to propose marriage, he had his eyes on the most promising Dalang.

Old Lady Su is not stupid. She would not let her most outstanding son marry the same poor commoner, and she also expects Dalang to marry into a noble family to change his family status.

But it was not easy to offend her natal family, and after several refusals, her cousin's family remained sticky like a dog-skin plaster, so she had no choice but to let the second son marry Xiao Qin.

The three daughters-in-law, the eldest and the youngest, were from the Du and Wei families in Duling County, Beijing, and were prominent families in Beijing.

Women brought up in large families are different. Du and Wei are well-mannered in their words, deeds, and interpersonal relationships. The second daughter-in-law, Xiao Qin, is obviously far inferior to them.

These years have been smooth sailing. I have been taking shelter under the big tree of Dalang and have not had any troubles. Everything has been peaceful.

Now that he's in trouble, he's started to make a fuss and is completely out of control.

I am the boss of this family, but I don't even dare to do it myself. Where does this little Qin get the courage? Give me face!

Xiao Qin's confidence came from her mother-in-law and cousin, Old Lady Su. Seeing her backer's attitude, she realized that she had kicked against a wall, and she lowered her head and sobbed without saying a word.

"Mom, it's okay. Let's all go home and go to sleep!" Su Laoer didn't want anyone to see his embarrassment.

"Hmph! Keep a good eye on your wife! Stop making a fuss! Are you going to sleep or not?" Old Mrs. Su went out with a cane.

He didn't forget to tell Mrs. Du, "Starting tomorrow, cook half a bowl less rice, so that she won't get too full and make a fuss!"

"Puchi!" Su Ying, who was watching the fun outside the door, was amused by what Old Lady Su said.

"What are you laughing at? You're full too!" Old Mrs. Su scolded Su Ying.

No one takes Old Lady Su seriously these days, and she's completely brokenhearted, lashing out at everyone and everything, just to make herself feel good. She'd rather be able to cause trouble for others than anything else.

"Hmph!" Su He rolled his eyes at Su Ying. Instead of following Old Madam Su back to the house, he turned around and went into his own house.

"Mother!" Su He sat down in front of Xiao Qinshi and saw the swollen slap marks on her mother's face. "Why did you get into such a fight with Grandpa?"

"Hero, your father, your father..." Little Qin, sobbing softly, felt aggrieved again and complained to her daughter.

"He'er, what are you doing here? Go and look after your grandmother!" Su Laoer felt overwhelmed when he saw the two confused people gathered together.

"Father, what happened to my mother? Why did you hit her so hard?" Su He ignored him and questioned his father instead.

"He'er, don't meddle in your parents' affairs, get out!" Su Laoer frowned.

"No, Aye, tell me clearly, what did my mother do wrong that makes you treat her like this!" Su He was not afraid of her father at all.

This father has always been my uncle's follower and yes-man, just like my mother said, a loser!

Su He looked down on his father from the bottom of his heart. He was timid and submissive, always living under the shadow of his uncle.

"How dare you! Who told you to talk to your elders like that? Get out!" Su Lao Er shouted angrily.

Looking at her daughter with a face full of regret, she will soon become another little Qin.

"Ahe, don't make Aye angry, let's go!" Su Shiyan pushed his sister out.

It’s late at night and the noise is endless!

Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan both eavesdropped on their parents' conversations. The two children were not very talented, but their character was like their father's honest and loyal.

Their father chose them to cultivate the land and do the heavy work together, and they didn't feel that anyone was at a disadvantage or someone was getting an advantage.

There are only a few strong laborers in the family, so for the sake of everyone, my uncle and his friends went into the mountains to explore the way and look for mountain products.

Among the remaining people, the three of them, father and son, plus their cousin Su Zhongyan, were responsible for reclaiming the land. Reclaiming the land was tiring, but digging the rotten soil was only done by the third uncle and Su Bangyan, father and son, and it was not easy for them either.

Everything starts from scratch. I have nothing but my strength. What is there to be stingy about? I will still have it if I use it!

If we don’t seize the time to sow seeds, what will we eat next year?

Even my cousin Su Ying has to carry a large backpack into the mountains. My mother is making a fuss. Is she dissatisfied with my eldest uncle's family or my third uncle's family?

If the family business ends up being divided, no one will benefit. Don't you still have to cultivate the land yourself?

The two boys didn't understand what their mother was thinking. Deep down, they felt that their father was not wrong.

Of course, my father was also wrong. He shouldn't have hit my mother.

"Hmph!" Su He came in angrily, and became even angrier when he saw Su Ying sleeping on the ground.

Pretending not to see it, he deliberately kicked Su Ying hard on the calf, pretending to be tripped.

"Hiss!", "Ouch!" Both of them exclaimed at the same time, one was really in pain, the other was faking a fall.

"Su Ying, why are you stretching your legs so long?" Su He turned the tables and took the initiative to attack, with a triumphant smile in his eyes.

"Su He! Are you sick? Who knew you would come back? Why didn't you say hello when you couldn't see me?" Su Ying rubbed her shin bone.

There is not much flesh on the calf, it is very thin, and the kick hit the shin right on it, it hurt so much that I almost cried.

"Bang! Bang!" Old Mrs. Su, whose sleep was interrupted, closed her eyes and made a lot of noise with a cane in her hand.

"Ouch!" Su He cried out in pain. The old woman was so cruel!

"Get out if you don't want to sleep!" Old Mrs. Su scolded.

Su Ying glared at Su He and turned over to sleep.

"Hmph!" Su He didn't get the upper hand, so he snorted coldly and lay down with his back against Su Ying.

"Ao!" A wolf howled in the mountains.

"Awooo!" The wolves' responses came one after another from the surrounding mountains and forests.

Oh no! I can’t sleep tonight! Su Ying, who just fell asleep, is so depressed!
