Old Mrs. Yang subconsciously looked at Old Man Su.
Old Man Su glared at her fiercely and roared, "Get out of here!"
Old Yang shuddered and immediately retreated.
Once only Su Chang'an and Old Man Su were inside, Su Chang'an looked at Old Man Su and said, "Father, give me the land deed. I'll keep it safe. Changsheng and Changshui are getting more and more audacious. If they don't get what they want, they'll probably resort to other means."
“I will keep it safe. At least I am still the Marquis of Anping. You know I married into the Qian family. If I really want to give up this family, I can take Qian Min back to the capital. No matter how despicable I am, I am still the Qian family’s son-in-law, and I can live a good life on my own.”
Su Chang'an didn't give the old man a chance to refuse at all.
He made it clear from the start that if he didn't get it, he would abandon the family.
They all owe their good lives to him, the Marquis of Anping.
If you push him too far, he might give up everything, and then the Su family will have nothing left.
Old Man Su's face turned pale. He pointed a trembling finger at Su Chang'an and asked, "Boss, you...you want this land deed too?"
Old Su felt disappointed and angry.
He didn't want to give it to any of his sons; he felt secure only when he held it in his own hands.
But the eldest son was different from the two younger sons, and it was his coercion that left Old Man Su with no choice.
Su Chang'an's involvement as a live-in son-in-law was never explicitly stated.
Now that he's even saying this, it shows his determination.
“You can have what you bought later, but I can’t give you the land deeds for those few acres of land that our family used to own.”
Old Man Su said through gritted teeth, "Just as my second and third sons said, if something really happens, the Su family will lose everything."
He couldn't stop his eldest son's decision, but he could take what the Su family already had.
The Su family originally owned seven mu of land and four mu of farmland.
Su Chang'an nodded: "Okay, it's still the family's original arrangement, so Father should make the decision."
Su Chang'an did not object to this, since all the land was in the village anyway, and unless they were really desperate, they wouldn't need it at all.
All he needs to do is keep the good farmland near the mountains and water in his hands.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely make everyone's life better."
Having obtained what he wanted, Su Chang'an smiled and said to Old Man Su.
Old Man Su looked at Su Chang'an, swallowed the bitterness in his heart, and said, "Alright, Father believes you."
When did my once majestic son become so dusty and grimy?
He was no different from six years ago; he was no longer the victorious Marquis of Anping, but just an ordinary farmer, Su Chang'an.
The Su family were originally farmers, and they didn't feel anything was wrong at first. But they had gotten used to the good life, and once it started to revert to its original state, they could sense it.
Old Su felt panicked and agitated. No matter how difficult life was now, it was still better than before...
"Chang'an, leave some more for your father."
Old Man Su felt a sudden, inexplicable fear; he wanted to grasp at something more, to hold on to as much as possible.
Su Chang'an's smile faded, and he said calmly, "Father, once I've made my money, I'll give you ten or a hundred times more fertile land, a thousand acres in total."
After finishing his sentence, Su Chang'an turned and left, ignoring the old man's worried and hesitant expression.
He didn't want to listen; he knew what Old Man Su meant.
Just like his two younger brothers, he also felt that he was useless and incompetent.
They didn't believe him.
That's perfect, he doesn't trust them anymore either.
This thing is only useful if he has it in his own hands; he's not going to hand it over to anyone else right now.
He trusted no one but himself.
Su Chang'an walked fast, and the old man Su, sitting in his wooden wheelchair, couldn't catch up. He sighed and resignedly said, "Heavens, please open your eyes. Even if you want to punish us, this is enough."
The Qin mother and daughter were already living a very good life.
Do we really have to drive them to the brink of despair?
"Old man, what did the eldest brother say to you?"
After Su Chang'an left, Old Madam Yang returned. Seeing Old Man Su's distraught appearance, she couldn't help but ask him.
Old Su glanced at Old Yang, and Old Yang instinctively shuddered.
She knew she was wrong; she shouldn't have asked so many questions.
Old Su's eyes flashed with malice: "It's all your fault, you jinx! You've ruined my family like this. If you hadn't stirred things up, my eldest son wouldn't have divorced Qin, and my second and third sons' wives wouldn't have run away!"
Old Su had too much resentment in his heart and desperately needed an outlet, and Old Yang's house was the perfect place for him to vent his anger.
Old Mrs. Yang felt deeply wronged.
It's her fault, it's all her fault.
Old Su grabbed Old Yang's sleeve and pulled her over.
Old Yang stumbled and knelt down beside Old Su.
Old Su raised his hand, revealing a long needle, and stabbed it into Old Yang's body.
"Ah—old man, please spare me..."
Old Mrs. Yang screamed and begged for mercy, she was in so much pain.
Old Su vented all his dissatisfaction on Old Yang. By the time his anger subsided, Old Yang had already fainted. He disgustedly pushed his wooden wheelchair away.
Old Mrs. Yang silently shed tears.
Only then did Su Yu'e, who was hiding in the shadows, dare to enter the room and carry Old Yang to the bed.
Su Yu'e was filled with immense fear.
Father often beats Mother.
The eldest brother married into the family.
The second and third brothers had nothing to do.
Will her wedding proceed smoothly?
This year, the Li family did not send any gifts for the Chinese New Year.
Su Yu'e twisted her handkerchief; she knew she had to do something.
Su Yu'e left quietly.
It took her a lot of effort to finally meet Qian Min.
What do you want?
Qian Min wasn't interested in seeing Su Yu'e, but Su Yu'e was a bit annoying, bothering her every day, so she decided to see her anyway.
"Sister-in-law, this is a magnolia flower I embroidered myself. I wanted to give it to you."
Su Yu'e knew that Qian Min looked down on her, so she smiled and lowered her attitude.
Qian Min glanced at it, took the handkerchief and looked at it for a moment, then casually handed it to Cailian. Cailian took the handkerchief, turned around and went out, handing it to the maid at the gate.
"Tell me what's wrong, and I'll help if I can."
Qian Min didn't like the handkerchief, and neither did Cai Lian.
She loathed the Su family, but she had to stay there until the imperial decree was issued.
"Sister-in-law, could you please take me to the banquet hosted by the Prefect's wife? Please!"
Su Yu'e knelt before Qian Min, willing to kowtow to her as long as Qian Min agreed to take her there.
Qian Min looked at Su Yu'e, who was sixteen years old this year. Her fiancé was a minor official in Liuzhou, surnamed Li.
The wedding date will be set next year, following the normal procedure.
But the Li family didn't send any gifts during the Chinese New Year this year, which is interesting.
The Li family may be considering announcing the engagement, but they are waiting for the right opportunity.
Su Yu'e became anxious.
"Alright, it's just a banquet, I'll bring you along."
Seeing Su Yu'e's humble demeanor, Qian Min agreed without making things difficult for her.
