Chapter 183 Dog Shit as a Whip

When Su Bucheng returned home, it was already dark and the whole family was waiting for dinner.

"Where are Shi Yan and the others? Haven't they been found?" Mrs. Du asked with concern when she saw her husband was alone.

"Eat!" Su Bucheng didn't answer.

Su Laosan and his wife looked at each other and sighed silently. Old Mrs. Su lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment.

The dinner table tonight was not as lively as usual. Everyone just ate in silence and the atmosphere was dull.

"Mother, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. Let's go to the Yang family to propose marriage!" Su Bucheng said at the dinner table.

Everyone was stunned. Normally, this matter should be discussed by the elders after dinner, so why was it announced in front of the younger generation?

"I asked my second brother, and he is fond of Lady Wang Wu. He will come back tomorrow and propose to her in person the day after tomorrow!" Su Bucheng continued.

The more you don't mention the three children, the more you know that they must be strongly opposed and will run to their mother. How could she agree?

Oh, there’s going to be trouble!

"Okay!" Old Mrs. Su responded after a moment of silence.

It was a bad move back then, and now the bitter fruit is hard to swallow. Old Mrs. Su is even more determined to marry Wang Wu Niang and change the bad habits of the second wife.

"Mother, how much cotton and cloth do we have left?" Su Ying asked Mrs. Du. "Second uncle will propose marriage the day after tomorrow, so I'll send some along with honey and brown sugar."

Su Ying took the initiative to express her opinion. Her cousins ​​were against it, so the whole family proposed marriage in a clear and high-profile manner to support her second uncle.

The higher the betrothal gift, the more important the bride is to the emperor.

Time was short, so I had to use whatever I could find at home.

Wei looked at her husband and said, "I have a pair of earrings here, add them too!"

This is the attitude of the third room.

"Zhen'er, that's your favorite thing! There's no need to take it out! Keep it for yourself!" Mrs. Du advised.

Despite the difficult journey, Wei was reluctant to sell it at a low price.

"They are just material possessions. Sanlang can buy them for me when he has money in the future! Now that I'm getting married, these things are not worth much money, just to make up the difference!" Wei smiled and pretended not to care.

Old Mrs. Su looked at her two daughters-in-law with satisfaction, and felt even more regretful for the stupid things she had done in the past.

There was a noise outside the courtyard. Everyone looked towards the door. After a long while, no one came in. Mrs. Du walked to the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

Three brothers walked out of the darkness, their faces dirty and sad, as if their parents had died. They wandered in the yard for a long time, not having the courage to come in.

No money, no skills, no family protection, and no place to stay!

As a fugitive, he could only wander around Wu County.

Even though he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to return to the Su family in Huanggou Village.

"Zhaoyan! What are you doing..." Mrs. Du was frightened by the dried blood on Su Zhaoyan's face, and hurried forward to pull the child to check.

"You guys were bullied?" Mrs. Du felt around Su Zhaoyan's body to see if he was still injured. "Zhen'er, boil some hot water!"

Upon hearing this, all the Su family members came out and looked at the three embarrassed brothers, feeling indescribable.

From the perspective of the first and third wives, neither welcomes Xiao Qin and her daughter to return. From the perspective of the second wife, their actions are understandable and there is nothing wrong with them.

If you can't even protect your own mother, how can you have the face to be a son?

But, but, a woman like Xiao Qinshi is not something that ordinary people can afford! The Su family, which has lost its power and interests, can't control her at all.

Now the Su family just wants to live a peaceful life and doesn’t want to waste time trying to reform a person who is impossible to reform.

Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan felt very sad when they saw their cousins ​​standing still and no longer as affectionate as before. All this silently expressed their dissatisfaction with them.

Su Bucheng, Su Laosan, and Su Laotai glanced at each other and went back to their rooms.

Su Boyan and a group of cousins ​​followed him. Su Bangyan and his younger brothers went into the old lady's room to listen to Su Ying's stories.

With or without the second and third brothers, everything in the Su family will remain the same and they will continue to live their lives as usual!

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei cleaned Su Zhaoyan silently without saying a word.

After cleaning up Su Zhaoyan and confirming that he was fine, Du and Wei breathed a sigh of relief and brought out hot food. "Eat!"

The three brothers, who were already starving, hesitated for a moment, picked up their bowls, and ate rice in small mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei left silently.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the three brothers stopped pretending and started to eat rice faster and harder.

He was choking and drank some warm water. It took him a while to catch his breath.

Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan looked at the empty kitchen, their noses felt sore and tears of grievance flowed down their cheeks.

It feels so bad to be ignored by others!

It would be better for the uncle to scold them or beat them than this silent scolding!

But they just want their mother back, so what's wrong with that? Who can bear to see their mother living in dire straits?

"Hahaha!" The laughter of Su Bangyan, Xiaotao, Atang, and Su Lu, the usually taciturn cousin, came from the old lady's room.

The faint, dim light of the soybean oil lamp flickered. In the kitchen, the three brothers were in a miserable mood, while over there, their younger brothers and sisters were laughing and having a great time.

Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan realized that although they were tall and strong, they were useless.

The two brothers together could not beat Feng Dazhuang, and even though they were educated, they could not even compare to Su Ying, let alone practical skills.

Using dog shit as a whip is neither good for literature nor for martial arts!

After calming down, Su Shiyan began to reflect on his actions today. Was he really wrong?

"Brother, I'm sleepy!" Su Zhaoyan walked back and forth for dozens of miles on the mountain road. He was extremely sleepy and had no time to think about his mother.

"Chen Yan, take your third brother to rest first!" Su Shiyan cleaned up the dishes.

In the past, after dinner, I would just push the dishes away and go back to the house. But now I feel too embarrassed to do it, so I might as well wash them myself.

Su Chenyan took his brother back to the house, which was pitch black.

Su Zhaoyan nestled in his second brother's arms. He was obviously very sleepy and could not even open his eyelids, but he could not fall asleep when he heard the laughter from next door.

"Second brother, now that Father has married a new wife, will he no longer care about us?" Su Zhaoyan asked.

Aye has always loved me the most, but no matter how much I begged today, Aye's heart was as hard as iron.

Su Zhaoyan couldn't understand why everything had changed so much. For the sake of a new bride, Aye was no longer the Aye he was familiar with, but became cold and heartless.

Seven-year-old Su Zhaoyan felt deeply lost and uneasy.

A Niang was divorced and remarried. He lost his mother's love and now even his father's love.

Su Zhaoyan's nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably, his young heart feeling lost and helpless.

Su Chenyan was speechless. He just patted his brother's back gently to coax him to sleep, silently listening to his brother's low sobs, and his chest soon felt warm.

"What's wrong?" Su Shiyan pushed the door open and heard his younger brother crying.

"I can't sleep! I have blisters on my feet." Su Chenyan made up an excuse casually, feeling upset.

It's going to rain, his mother is going to get married, and his father is going to take a new bride!

With a stepmother, the biological father is no longer the biological father, but the stepfather!

He and his elder brother were fine as they were almost adults and their stepmother couldn't do anything to them. But his third brother had to suffer a lot.
