Chapter 14 Never Ending

Su Laosan sighed and squatted on the ground silently to weave the backpack.

No one is stupid, and Su Laosan knows exactly what his second sister-in-law is making a fuss about.

The teenagers came over and continued with the work they hadn't finished last night.

Beginners are clumsy and their weaving is loose.

Whenever it came to a key step, Su Laosan would take over and demonstrate and explain, and then let the teenagers continue to edit.

"Wow! Look at the backpack I made!" Su Boyan was the first to finish and happily held up his work to show off.

"Brother, you are so awesome!" Xiao Tao added in a timely manner.

"Come, let me carry you!" Su Boyan put Xiao Tao into the backpack and carried her on his back. "How is it? Is it fun?"

"It's fun, haha..." Xiaotao squatted in the backpack. It was her first time sitting in a backpack.

"Brother, brother, let us sit down too!" The two little kids, Su Zhaoyan and Su Quanyan, were so greedy that they kept pestering their cousin.

"No, no!" Su Boyan refused. "This backpack is not woven firmly. You two are as heavy as stones. Be careful not to crush my backpack."

The laughter and playfulness diluted the dull atmosphere.

Several baskets were woven one after another. They were the work of a novice and were not very sturdy, but barely usable.

Everyone competed with each other to see who could write the best.

"Uncle San, can you weave a bamboo bed?" Su Ying squatted beside Su Lao San and watched with great interest.

"I've never woven one before, but it shouldn't be difficult. Once we have enough supplies, Uncle San will try making a bamboo bed." Su Lao San said with a smile, "Are you not used to sleeping on the floor?"

Su Ying nodded. "My whole body is stiff, and my head feels like it's filled with mud and water. It's heavy and uncomfortable."

There was not much straw, just enough to lay a layer. The ground was damp, and several people were covered with a thin quilt. The hard ground made people feel sore all over.

"Hmph! You still think you are the eldest daughter! So spoiled! And the bed? Why don't you want the quilt?" Su He sneered, jealous that her uncle favored Su Ying.

"You're not spoiled. If you have the guts, don't come and fight with us for the bamboo bed!" Su Ying retorted, "Alu, Xiaotao, from now on, the three of us will sleep together!"

"Okay! I'll sleep with my sister!" Xiao Tao snuggled up to her sister affectionately, "Uncle San, make a big bed for us!"

"Okay! Make a big bed for our Xiaotao!" Su Laosan smiled happily, and his hands moved without slowing down at all.

Su Lu didn't say anything. She moved closer to Su Ying and watched her father weave the dustpan quietly.

"Why?" Su He's neck stiffened.

"Because you are too big to fit on one bed!" Su Ying deliberately teased him, and after saying that, she did not forget to look at Su He with a disgusted expression.

"Su Ying, don't go too far!" Su He was so angry that he was about to jump up and down.

Su Ying seemed to have changed a lot. She wasn't so sharp-tongued before. When she was squeezed out by herself, she would just sulk at most, but she never responded to her in such a tit-for-tat manner.

"We are just talking about our own thing. Do you need to interrupt? If you don't know how to speak, just shut up. You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Why are you trying to make a name for yourself everywhere?" Su Ying said bluntly.

"Ah! Su Ying, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Su He was so angry that she fainted. No one had ever said such harsh words to her. She pounced on Su Ying.

"What are you doing, Ah He!" Su Lao San raised his hand to block Su He, "Sisters are just arguing, why are you resorting to physical violence?"

Su Heyue's words and actions are inappropriate, completely following the character of his second sister-in-law.

"Uncle San, even you are partial to Su Ying. You only talk about me, why not her?" Su He said angrily.

"Ahe, could you please be quiet? You're making so much noise that it hurts my head!" Su Shiyan couldn't stand it any longer because his sister was being unreasonable and bringing shame upon herself.

This sister couldn't convince Ah Ying, couldn't think better than Ah Ying, and yet she insisted on provoking Ah Ying.

They can't even eat, but still have the time to argue. It seems that only half a bowl of porridge is enough.

"Brother, you are also talking about me? Well, you all bully me! Woo woo..." Su He stomped his feet and ran back to the house angrily.

The lively atmosphere that had been created with great effort was destroyed and everyone just kept working.

Xiao Qin cooked the porridge, divided it evenly, and sat there with a sad face, not calling anyone for breakfast.

"Second Aunt, are you ready?" After waiting for a long time and seeing no sign of dinner, Su Ying felt so hungry that her stomach ached.

Xiao Qin gave Su Ying a cold look. Are you blind? Can't you see?

Tsk tsk, this mother and daughter are never done with each other.

"It's time to eat!" Su Ying shouted loudly. She didn't care about him, but the more she paid attention to him, the more excited she became.

Upon hearing this, everyone came over with their bowls to drink porridge. Since half a bowl of rice was missing, it was naturally cleaner than yesterday, and no one spoke.

Su Ying thought Su He would be angry and refuse to eat, but as soon as she finished speaking, the man rushed out of the house.

I thought she didn't know she was hungry! But she was hungry?

"Hmph!" Su He saw Su Ying laughing at him, and when he passed by Su Ying, he deliberately used his elbow to nudge Su Ying, but Su Ying dodged.

No matter who you are angry with, you will never be angry with your stomach. Only a fool would not eat.

After finishing his drink, Su Lao San wiped his mouth and picked up the hoe, "Brother, let's see which piece of land to work on."

"Yes!" Su Bucheng nodded and also picked up a hoe. "Second brother, you and Shi Yan and Chen Yan will dig the rotten soil, and the third brother and I will go to reclaim the land."

"What are you talking about, eldest brother? Didn't we agree yesterday that we would reclaim the land, and the third brother and his father would dig the rotten soil!" Su Laoer pulled his brother's hoe.

"I haven't gone up the mountain yet. I'll go find some land with the third brother first and cultivate it so that you can have some ease." Su Bucheng grabbed the hoe with a smile.

"Brother! Do you dislike your younger brother?" Su Laoer held the hoe tightly, his eyes red and his expression aggrieved.

"How could that be? Second brother, everyone takes turns doing the heavy and light work. Digging rotten soil is not easy either. Be obedient and dig more to dry in the sun while the weather is good." Su Bucheng patted his second brother's shoulder.

Su Lao Er lowered his head in shame, "Shi Yan, Chen Yan, come with me."

The father and his two sons went to the woods with dustpans and hoes.

The two brothers Su Bucheng and Su Laosan took Boyan, Zhongyan and Bingyan and walked towards the village.

The farmland should be placed as close to the village as possible to avoid being attacked by wild beasts.

"Su Ying, what are you doing? Where are you going if you're not working?" Su He saw Su Ying carrying the backpack and running away, and hurriedly caught up with her.

It takes manpower to move, clean and dry the rotten soil, but she just pretends to be lazy by carrying a basket on her back and going out.

"Go find lime! Why don't you go?" Su Ying was really impressed by this guy.

"Hmph, where is the lime here? You're clearly making an excuse not to work!" Su He grabbed Su Ying's backpack tightly.

"Let go!" Su Ying was annoyed. She had never met such a disgusting person.

"No, everyone is working, why don't you do it?" Su He didn't believe what Su Ying said.

"Ahe, let go!" Du's cold voice came from behind.

"Why doesn't Su Ying work?" Su He had to let go, but he was unwilling to accept it. "I'll go too!"

"Whatever! If you don't mind the road, just follow me. I won't care if you encounter poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts!" Su Ying didn't care. "Mother, I'm leaving!"

"Call your elder brother!" Mrs. Du reminded.

"I know!" Su Ying waved to her mother and went to catch up with her father and brothers in front.
