Chapter 8: Don't be too kind

"Really?" Su Boyan said in surprise, "I'll go call my second and third uncles!"

"No need!" Su Ying called out, "Xiao Tao, stand on Big Brother's shoulders and see if you can reach the bird's nest."

"Oh, just a little bit short!" Xiao Tao stretched out her hand and tried hard to reach the bird's nest, but no matter how hard she tried, it was still just a little bit short.

"Forget it, I can only call my second uncle and the others!" Su Ying said dejectedly.

"Wait, I'll go and call!" Su Boyan shouted as he ran, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle! Come quickly!"

"What's the matter, Boyan?" asked Su Laoer. His eldest nephew has always been steady and rarely shouts like this.

"Come on! There's something good!"

Su Laoer and Su Laosan went into the bamboo forest and followed Su Boyan to the bird's nest, and the others followed.

"Wow, I forgot about this! Boyan, you are still smart." Su Laosan praised.

"Hehe, it's not me, it's Aying!" Su Boyan scratched his head embarrassedly. He was not as smart as his sister.

"Aying also knows this?" Su Laosan was very surprised. His eldest niece had never been to the countryside, so how could she think of robbing bird nests?

"I suddenly thought of it and wanted to try my luck. I'm not sure if it exists or not! Xiaotao can't reach it." Su Ying pointed to the bird's nest.

"Zhao Yan, come here, let Aye carry you up to take a look." Su Lao Er squatted down and carried his youngest son.

Apart from Xiaotao, Su Zhaoyan is the smallest and taller than Xiaotao.

"Wow, so many bird eggs! So big! As big as pigeon eggs!" Su Zhaoyan looked at the full nest of bird eggs and shouted in surprise, "One, two, three... Oh my god, there are thirteen in total!"

"Take it away! Be careful and take them out one by one." Su Lao San reached out to take it.

"Zhao Yan, leave two in the nest." Su Ying said.

"Why?" Su Zhaoyan was puzzled. Two bird eggs!

"Silly, take them all away. The turtledove is angry and won't lay eggs here. You won't have any to eat next time."

"Oh, okay then!" Su Zhaoyan thought it made sense.

Su Laosan took off his outer robe to put the bird eggs in. Everyone looked at the white bird eggs and kept swallowing their saliva.

"Several turtledoves just flew out. Why don't we look around? Maybe there are still some." Su Ying suggested.

"Yes, let's look again!" The teenagers hurriedly went deeper into the bamboo forest.

"Hey, don't go too far. Just look to see if there is bird droppings on the ground. Be careful not to get lost!" Su Ying reminded.

"I know, I know!" The teenagers rushed in excitedly, as if they were searching for treasure in a dense forest.

"Hey, we found it, there's a nest here!", "Quick, there's a nest here!" The cheers of the teenagers came from the bamboo forest.

A total of three nests of bird eggs were found. As it was getting dark, Su Laoer and Su Laosan did not let the children continue.

Su Ying took Xiao Tao, Su Zhaoyan, and Su Quanyan, carrying the bird eggs and went home first.

"Mom, mom! Come! Good stuff!" From a distance, several children shouted happily, eager to share the happiness.

When Mrs. Su, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, heard this, she immediately stood up and saw the package in Su Ying's hand with an eager look, wanting to know what it was.

"Su Ying, what good stuff is this?" Su He ran out of the house.

After working all day, I was tired and sleepy, so I went back to my room to catch up on some sleep. I didn't expect to miss a good thing.

"I won't tell you!" Su Ying kept it a secret on purpose. She was in a good mood at the moment and wanted to tease her cousin.

"Hmph! Let me see!" Su He reached out to grab it.

"Don't move!" Su Ying raised her hand and dodged Su He's claws. "If you don't want to have nothing to eat tonight, then behave yourself!"

"Hmph! What's so great about that!" Su He stomped his feet and stared at the package, but didn't dare to snatch it again.

Several people working in the fields dropped their hoes and came over, and Old Mrs. Su also eagerly came over.

"Yeah! Guess what my sister mentioned?" Xiao Tao asked Su Bucheng mysteriously.

"Bird eggs!" Su Zhaoyan announced the answer anxiously without waiting for his uncle to answer, "Uncle, I was the one who took it out!"

"Hate it, Su Zhaoyan, who told you to say that?" Xiao Tao was annoyed that her cousin was too talkative and the surprise for Aye was ruined.

"Hmph! I have to say it, I have to say it!" Su Zhaoyan was humiliated and said stubbornly.

"I don't want to play with you anymore!" Xiao Tao was so angry that she was about to cry.

"Okay, Xiaotao, don't cry. We're going to eat bird eggs tonight!" Su Ying coaxed her little sister.

"Why are there so many?" Su Bucheng took a look and saw that there were at least twenty or thirty pieces in the full bag.

"There are turtledoves in the bamboo forest, several nests." Su Ying handed the eggs to Mrs. Du, "Give each of you one tonight, and leave the rest for grandma."

"Ah? One for each of us?" Madam Du said with a pained look on her face, "Your father and I won't eat any! You guys eat them!"

"Mother, how can you not eat it? If you want to eat it, everyone will eat it! If you don't want to eat it, no one will eat it! This egg won't last long. It will be empty in a few days."

One for each person, no one is left behind.

"Humph, I don't care!"

When Old Lady Su heard that everyone would receive one, she almost cursed. Subconsciously, she thought that the best thing should be offered to her.

Then he realized that his words here had no weight, and felt a little disappointed.

When she heard Su Ying say that the rest were hers, although she was not very satisfied, it was the best result. However, she still said she didn't want it.

Here it comes again! Here it comes again! Old Mrs. Su opens a dyeing factory as soon as she gets some color.

"Grandma, are you sure you don't want it? Then give it to Xiaotao, Zhaoyan, Bingyan and the others!" Su Ying would not indulge them.

"You! You little bitch! How can you treat your elders like this? You are such a black-hearted thing!" Old Mrs. Su was choked and couldn't help cursing.

"Black-hearted? Have you ever seen a black-hearted person leave good things for their elders? Good things are given to you as filial piety, but in return you get a black heart. It's better to give it to your younger brothers and sisters!"

Su Ying regretted being too kind, because others didn't appreciate her kindness.

"Mother, give the rest to Xiaotao, A'lu, Zhaoyan, Quanyan and the others." Su Ying said to Mrs. Du.

"Why isn't there one for me?" Before Mrs. Su could say anything, Su He quit.

"Su He, how old are you? How dare you argue with a younger person?" Su Ying was almost amused by Su He's shamelessness.

"Why can't I fight for it? These bird eggs were taken out by my younger brother, so of course I should have a share. Logically, these eggs should be divided by my family, so why should you have the final say?" Su He was unreasonable.

"Second Aunt, do you mean the same thing?" Su Ying looked at Xiao Qin.

"He'er, don't talk nonsense!" With her uncle present, Xiao Qinshi didn't dare to say anything no matter what she thought.

"You're talking nonsense! We were the ones who found the egg!" Xiao Tao retorted loudly, "Su Zhaoyan, tell your sister right now!"

Su Zhaoyan had just had an argument with Xiaotao and was now sulking and ignoring Xiaotao.

"Hey, Su Zhaoyan, say something!" Xiao Tao got anxious and tried to pull him away.

"Hmph!" Su Zhaoyan turned his head away and said nothing.

"It was originally discovered by Aying and the others, and then we found two more nests! Everyone is involved! What Ahe said is so unreasonable." Su Quanyan couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for justice.

"Why am I wrong? Then give my brother some of the money he spent!" Su He understood what her mother meant and spoke boldly.

"Okay, fairy, give the rest to my mother!" Su Bucheng didn't want to make a mess because of a few bird eggs.

"I don't want it!" Old Mrs. Su acted like that again, acting ungrateful after getting the advantage.

"Mother, please stop talking! If you really don't want to eat it, I'll send it to the village chief as a thank-you gift! No one else can eat it!" Su Bucheng said harshly.

What was supposed to be a happy thing had to be turned into something unhappy!

"Da Lang, you..." Old Mrs. Su stopped talking in anger. She knew that no matter how hard she tried to be tough, her eldest son would really do it.
