Chapter 67 Lost

Xiao Qin looked at Su Bucheng in surprise. Seeing her uncle's cold eyes, she knew that he was serious this time and lowered her head unwillingly.

"Mother!" Su He supported Xiao Qin and sat aside alone.

Don't sit together with those people. The eldest branch bullies others, the third branch has always been a subordinate, and the men in your own family are even more timid and never help your own family.

Su He looked down on them from the bottom of her heart, and only she and her daughter could see through the hypocrisy of the eldest wife.

I only regret that I am a weak woman, powerless and unable to resist or change the status quo.

If I ever gain power, I will definitely make sure that my first wife looks good!

"Oh!" Old Mrs. Su sighed, looking into the distance with mixed feelings.

This pair of idiots who are confused and have shit in their brains will break up this family sooner or later. What a shame!

After the porridge was cooked, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei divided the porridge and poured it directly into two unwashed bamboo bowls without any hesitation.

Su Ying mixed the konjac with some marinade. It would be better if there was pickled pepper. The sour and spicy konjac is definitely an appetizer and goes well with rice.

"Da da da" Su Bangyan ran back panting and wiped the sweat from his head.

"I said I'd wait for you, why are you running so fast?" Su Ying smiled and fed her little cousin a piece of meat, then shouted to everyone, "It's time to eat!"

Everyone picked up the porridge, picked up a few pieces of braised meat and konjac, and sat aside to eat slowly.

Su He and her daughter picked up the unwashed bamboo bowl, feeling that something was wrong but unable to put their finger on it.

The aroma of meat penetrated into Su He's nostrils. She couldn't move her legs and was struggling over whether to take some.

"This is pig intestine! There were so many of them this morning..." Su Ying deliberately provoked Su He and pretended to vomit.

"Ugh!" Su He thought of the scene in the morning and felt his stomach churning again. He covered his stomach and walked away.

"Come, Xiaotao and Alu, try it. Is it delicious?" Su Ying picked up some food for her two sisters.

"Wow, sister, it's so delicious!" Xiaotao stuffed a big piece of meat into her mouth. It tasted better than last night's.

"Aying, you're amazing! How did you come up with this idea? It smells so good!"

Su Lu also nodded in praise, saying that the braised pork intestines were soft, fragrant, and glutinous, without any smell at all.

"Is it delicious? Eat more!" Su Ying smiled.

Turning around, he picked up some food for his cousin, "Zhao Yan, come here, this pork belly is delicious! And there's konjac!"

"Thank you, Aying!" There were still traces of tears on Su Zhaoyan's face.

The child only remembered the food and not the beating. He ate the delicious meat and forgot the unexpected disaster that had just happened.

"Eat more if you like it!" Su Ying moved her little cousin's head.

"Yeah!" Su Zhaoyan worked hard.

Old Mrs. Su picked up a piece of pig's stomach, looked at it with disgust for a long time, but still couldn't bear to throw it away, so she put it in her mouth.

The braised pork belly is very flavorful and softens easily when chewed.

Old Mrs. Su ate the porridge and meat with great relish.

Xiao Qinshi and Su He, who thought that Old Madam Su wouldn't eat, looked at each other silently, and went to pick up the dishes under the burning gazes of the crowd.

I picked up a few pieces of pork head and konjac, but in the end I didn't have the courage to put them into the water.

Wei curled his lips in disdain and rolled his eyes. If you have any guts, don't eat it!

Mrs. Du was amused by Mrs. Wei, and the two sisters-in-law exchanged glances and giggled.

This braised meat is really delicious, and the konjac is also good.

Eating these every day is pretty good! As Mrs. Su ate, the unhappiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Yeah! I'll go into the mountains later." Su Ying said to her father.

"What are you doing at this hour?" Su Bucheng looked at the sun.

"Pick up those chestnuts, walnuts, sour dates, and tea-oil fruits. It's a pity to leave them rotting in the fields!" Su Ying felt sad when she thought of so many mountain products.

"It's getting late, be careful of wild beasts! Let's do it tomorrow!" Su Bucheng disagreed.

After walking for at least half an hour, in the afternoon, the napping beasts were almost done sleeping and began to come out to look for food.

"Don't worry, Aye, I'll leave right after I finish picking them up. I won't linger!" Su Ying promised, "I'll add the chestnuts I pick up to my porridge to help me keep myself from getting hungry."

"I'll go with Aying!" Su Boyan said.

"Father, I'm going too!" Su Zhongyan also spoke up. It was his brother and elder sister who did everything, while he always just sat back and reaped the benefits.

"Uncle, let's go too!" Several other teenagers also spoke up.

Even though Aying is a girl, she is not afraid. They are men and should not hide behind them.

"Brother, let Shi Yan and Chen Yan go with Boyan and the others to take a look!" Su Laoer felt that his children should also go out for exercise.

"That's right, big brother, Quan Yan is not a child anymore, go and take a look too." Su Lao San also joined in the fun.

"I'm not a kid anymore. If I don't exercise, how am I going to support a family in the future?"

"What are you all doing here?" Su Bucheng looked at everyone's expectant eyes.

"Without an adult, letting so many children go up the mountain is ridiculous! Let them all go.

Since we won’t be working in the fields later, let’s go with a few more people to pick up all the mountain products so that we don’t have to worry about them all the time.”

"Oh! That's great!" The teenagers cheered, finished their porridge in a few gulps, and busied themselves looking for backpacks and baskets.

"Husband..." Mrs. Du was worried.

"It's okay. We've only been on the road for more than half an hour, and we haven't even entered the mountain yet!" Su Bucheng patted his wife's hand.

"Uncle, let's go too!" Su Zhaoyan and Su Bangyan said eagerly.

"You are too young, so don't go! Be good!" Su Bucheng touched the heads of the two little guys.

Everyone carried backpacks and baskets, played and laughed, and disappeared into the woods.

Su Zhaoyan and Su Bingyan looked at their brothers with dejected eyes as they followed their father.

Su Bangyan was not convinced and dragged his dustpan towards the woods.

"Wait for me!" Su Zhaoyan also caught up with the dustpan.

The two brothers chased after the sound, not caring about the thorns and vines scratching their clothes.

But the sound became farther and farther away, and gradually could not be heard.

The two children ran around in the woods and no more voices were heard.

Looking around, the forest was cold and chilly. I felt a chill creeping up and wanted to go back.

But they found that they could not find the way they came. When the wind blew, there was a rustling sound in the forest. They were lost.

"Wow! Aye, Aye! Where are you?" Su Zhaoyan was scared and cried loudly.

"Father, uncle! Where are you?" Su Bangyan pulled his cousin.

I couldn't tell the direction and didn't dare to walk around. I tried my best to suppress the panic and fear in my heart.

"Aye! Aye, where are you?" Su Zhaoyan dragged the dustpan, crying with tears in his eyes.

"Aye, I seem to hear Zhaoyan crying?" Su Ying, who had been silent, heard a faint crying sound in the wind, which sounded very much like her cousin Su Zhaoyan.

The fighting teenagers stopped and listened quietly, but there was nothing.

"Huh, Aying, you scared me! How could they come?" Su Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, don't let them come!" Su Bucheng said with a smile.

Everyone continued to move forward.

"Aye! Woo woo..." The crying sound came again in the wind.

She cried heart-wrenchingly, but her voice was faint and there was no sound when she listened carefully.

"No! It's Zhao Yan who is crying!" Su Ying said affirmatively.

After saying that, he turned around and ran back, "Zhao Yan! Zhao Yan! We are here! We are here!"

Everyone had no choice but to run back. Not long after they ran, they really heard the baby crying.

"Aye, Aye, where are you?" Su Zhaoyan's voice was hoarse from crying.

"Father, uncle, where are you?" Su Bangyan held his cousin's hand, his voice trembling and crying.
