Chapter 23: Do You Have to Break Up a Family?

"Sister!" Xiao Tao came to greet me from afar before I even got home.

"Xiaotao, come and try some good stuff!" Su Ying took out a few raspberries.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, sister, what is this?" Xiao Tao asked, looking at the bright red wild fruit in her hand.

"Raspberry, also called prickly berry, is sour and sweet and delicious." Su Ying fed one to her sister.

"Yeah, it's true, sour and sweet, so delicious!" Xiaotao smiled with her eyes curved, and the two sisters went home hand in hand.

"Boyan and Aying are back!" Su Laoer and Laosan were chopping bamboo tubes on the ground.

"Well, Second Uncle and Third Uncle are busy!" The brother and sister put down the backpack, "Zhao Yan, Quan Yan, A Lu, come and eat some good food."

"What's this?" My cousins ​​all gathered around me. "Aying, what is this?"

The children grew up in Chang'an City and had never seen these wild fruits, including the oldest boys Su Shiyan and Su Quanyan.

"Raspberry, sea buckthorn, and salt mulberry, come and try them!" Su Ying shared with everyone.

"This raspberry is delicious, sour and sweet."

"The sea buckthorn tastes okay, but it's too difficult to eat because it has too many seeds."

"Hey, why is this saltwort so sour and salty?"

Everyone commented as they ate that Su Ying gave all the saltwort to the elders, including Old Mrs. Su.

Old Mrs. Su was disgusted and didn't want to answer it, but she was so hungry that she had to answer it.

I ate the sour and salty wild fruits and found them tasted quite good. I hadn't tasted anything salty for several days, so my mouth was very bland.

"This can be used as salt. Second Aunt, put a little in the porridge and it will have a salty taste." Su Ying handed a small bunch to Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin took it with a stern face, picked the saltwort seeds one by one and threw them into the porridge.

Su He, who was lying dead in the room, heard the commotion outside and curled his lips in disdain. It was not until the aroma of porridge wafted through the air and his stomach ached that he had to get up.

"Aying is really amazing. She found saltwort to replace salt. After eating it, I feel much more energetic." Su Laosan grabbed a handful of saltwort and poured it into his mouth.

I have lived for over thirty years and I didn’t even know that such a thing existed in the world.

"Yes, saltwort is really delicious!" The children didn't pick raspberries or sea buckthorns to eat, but picked saltwort to eat.

"Su He, eat, it's good stuff!" Su Ying saw Su He coming out with deep straw marks on his cheeks, and guessed that this person was lazy and sleeping again.

But I don’t want to care about it right now. It’s rare for everyone to be happy, so why spoil the fun?

"Didn't you say you were going to look for lime? You went out for a day and got these wild fruits to fool people? Tsk!" Su He sneered, raised his proud head and looked down on others.

Even though my mouth was full of sourness and I wanted to eat it very much, I was used to being mean. The words had already been spoken, and if I tried to take it again, I would be slapped in the face, so I had to endure it.

Upon hearing this, Su Bucheng frowned in displeasure but held back from saying anything.

"He'er, what are you talking about again?" Su Laoer scolded his daughter.

"There's so much work to do, even your grandmother is doing it. Everyone's been busy all day, and Aying and the others are tired too. I brought some wild fruits to satisfy everyone's cravings.

You've been lying there all day, and now you're here to pick on me. What qualifications do you have?"

"Aye! Was I wrong? She didn't want to work in the morning and said she was going to find lime! What happened? She asked her uncle and the third uncle to carry it back, and she disappeared.

Find an excuse to go out and play! Seeing that it was getting dark and time for dinner, I got some wild fruits and fooled you! You all protect her! "Su He was as rude as ever.

"Ahe, stop talking! How do you talk to Aye like that?" Su Shiyan couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to defend his father.

When she is not around, everyone is happy, talking and laughing. But when she comes, she makes people unhappy in every way possible. She is a complete troublemaker.

"Brother, you are mean to me too? Who is your sister? Why do you side with outsiders?" Su He's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, feeling very aggrieved.

Xiao Qin, who was cooking, looked relieved after tasting the salt-fu fruit. But when she saw her husband and son blaming their daughter, her expression suddenly darkened again.

My uncle and my brother-in-law's families all care about their own family members and speak for their own family members, but my husband and son are the ones who are turning their elbows outward! It's so infuriating.

"You dead girl! You pretended to be dead when I asked you to work, and now you're lying there when it's time to eat? You're making a fuss as soon as you get here. Aren't you hungry? Don't even eat half a bowl of porridge tonight!"

Su He ruined Mrs. Su's good mood.

"Why? You all come to bully me! My aunt-in-law deducts half of my bowl, and you deduct half of mine too! Do you think my father is weak and that we, the second branch, are easy to bully?"

Su He couldn't stand it any more and spoke without caring about the consequences.

"He'er, what are you talking about? Go back to the house!" Su Laoer was so angry that he stood up and glared at Su He.

This girl has really lost her mind in Chang'an. She can't get through the day without making people unhappy.

"What? You want to hit me? You hit my mother last night, and you want to hit me again today? You really are the coward my mother said you were! You only know how to bully others!"

Su He became more and more arrogant and had no respect for his father at all.

"Bang!" The crutch hit his back hard.

"Ouch!" Su He cried out in pain, tears falling down.

"This is outrageous! You, a half-grown thing, talk to your father like that! How could my Su family have a troublemaker like you!" Old Mrs. Su looked so ferocious that she seemed to want to eat someone.

Among the three sons that he raised with great effort, the second one was the most loyal, honest, filial and obedient.

In order not to offend his mother's family, he let the second son marry his niece. Who would have thought that she would be such a worthless person. The daughter he brought up was not only stupid, but also sarcastic and petty.

Now she dares to insult her own father in public. Who would dare to marry a girl like this? She is simply a disaster! A troublemaker!

When Xiao Qin saw her daughter being beaten, she was about to rush over to argue, but seeing the old lady's vicious look, she rationally did not move forward.

If you continue to make trouble, you will only add fuel to the fire.

If I really anger the old lady and my husband and they divorce me, how will I survive here?

Su Ying had no interest in speaking for this brainless man. The more she paid attention to him, the more excited he became. Good intentions might not always be rewarded.

Sitting together with Su Lu, Xiao Tao and Bing Yan, happily eating wild fruits and watching this farce.

"Da Lang, you too, how can you be the head of the family? You let the younger generation do whatever they want without any rules! No matter how poor the Su family is, there can't be no respect for the old and the young!" Old Mrs. Su turned around and started to lecture Su Bucheng again.

As long as I am not dead, the three brothers are still a family, and the eldest brother is still the head of the family!

A little girl is so cheerful and makes trouble all the time, is she really going to break up the family? She is spoiled!

"Mother, you are right! It is my son who is incompetent and neglects to discipline me!" Su Bucheng admitted his mistake respectfully.

The old lady is selfish, but not confused. If a family does not stick together at this time, it is simply courting its own destruction!

What's more, Su He is a brainless girl. If she really lets the family break up, others will not laugh at Su He for being stupid, but will only laugh at the head of the Su family for not being able to control a youngster.
