Chapter 15: Insulting Parents and Children, and the Desire to Separate the Family
"If I had known you were so heartless and ungrateful, I should have strangled you to death when I gave birth to you." Xu Qiuniang kept repeating the same curse words over and over again, and Su Zhongguo had become tired of hearing them over the years.
"Mom, if you don't like me so much, then Guixiang and I will separate with the children to avoid being an eyesore to you." Su Zhongguo was no longer like before, tolerant of everything and felt that being scolded by his parents was no big deal.
Now, seeing his parents' true faces, he was already heartbroken.
"Bah." Xu Qiuniang was excited.
"You unfilial thing, you actually mentioned dividing the family when your father was injured. Do you have any conscience? Are you still a human being?" Xu Qiuniang was shocked.
It is impossible to split the family.
Father Xu was also shocked by his eldest son's words.
You know, all the heavy work at home is done by the eldest brother. If we split up the family now, what will we do with the food at the end of the year?
"Boss, what are you talking about? Your younger brother isn't even married yet." Father Su said with a dark face.
"I know you've been wronged these days because of me. Don't worry, I'll go down to the fields to help you when my leg is healed. I won't let you work alone." Father Su could only comfort his eldest son at this time.
Whatever the reason, he never thought of splitting up the family.
Although he had become rich, he never thought of sharing the good things with his eldest son, but that didn't mean he was happy for his eldest son to split the family business.
If the family were divided, they would become two families, and he wouldn't allow that.
"My mother scolds me every day, every day. My mother-in-law is still here. She has asked Guixiang to go back to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth. If she leaves, she will definitely take the child with her. What am I still doing in this family then?"
Su Zhongguo looked at his father with a depressed and sad expression.
"Mom, you are too partial. You didn't dare to scold my second brother's wife like this when she came from his family. You only scolded my wife. Mom, you look down on us so much. I think it's better to separate the family. At least the people from my family won't be bullied."
When Xu Qiuniang heard her son complaining about her, she immediately cried out, "Oh my God, please open your eyes and look, this is not my son, I am raising a son for someone else's family."
Father Su's face also looked unhappy.
"To vent his anger on his mother's family, he now comes to teach me a lesson. Woohoo, I won't live any longer. I won't live any longer. The son I raised with so much effort is so heartless that he bullies his own mother for the sake of outsiders. God, please bring thunder to take him away."
Xu Qiuniang yelled and cursed without caring about anything, which naturally alarmed Li Guixiang and her daughter who were in confinement on the other side.
Mother Li's face turned even darker, and she could hardly suppress her anger.
Just when she was about to rush up and beat Xu Qiuniang up in anger, Su Zhongguo made a move.
"Mom, please let my family go. Please give us a chance to live."
Su Zhongguo fell to his knees with a thud, and bowed to the sullen Xu Qiuniang. "The baby has just been born and you're calling him a disaster star. How is he going to survive when he grows up? Not only did you not take care of him during the confinement period, but you didn't even give him food."
"Every bit of food my parents send is confiscated. God, please save my family. Even if my parents are partial, they won't care about the life and death of the whole family like this. Woohoo, am I your biological child?"
The noise made by a man crying is no less than that of a shrew. Look, Su Zhongguo's shout directly alarmed the surrounding neighbors.
The ones who arrived the fastest were naturally Aunt Wang and Aunt He, who lived nearby.
These two people had always been at odds with Xu Qiuniang, and they would often quarrel over a piece of vegetable.
Now that there is a good show to watch, how can they fall behind?
As soon as he came, they were shocked. Su Zhongguo actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed. You know, only the women in the village would do this. How could they not be surprised when a grown man like him did such a thing?
"Hey, Zhongguo, what's wrong with you? Is your mother bullying your wife again?" Aunt He is a sharp-tongued person.
"You two have worked so hard these past few years. Even after your child turned three, he had to work in the fields. In my opinion, you should separate sooner rather than later. At least your life will be better than it is now."
Aunt Wang was stunned and looked at her friend with a look of horror.
How can you say that?
Not afraid of Xu Qiuniang tearing her apart.
"fart."
Sure enough, Xu Qiuniang got furious when she heard this.
"What's my family's business is none of your business? Get out of here." Xu Qiuniang said as she was about to get up and close the door, trying to isolate these onlookers.
But how could Su Zhongguo give her this opportunity? Doesn't she like to be scolded and cry? Today he will let her see what it means to cry, make a fuss and then commit suicide.
"Mom, please, please let our family go. Guixiang just gave birth, and the four children are still young and can't be without their mother. I have contributed a lot to the family over the years, so please let us go."
He simply hugged his mother's thighs when she wanted to go forward to close the door, not letting her move at all.
It’s good to have more people, because with more people he can make adequate preparations for the division of the family.
"Now the second son has become a father, the eldest and youngest sisters are married, and the youngest brother is also a promising man. He can be successful even without our help. Mother, please let us go."
Every word he said begged for forgiveness, but he did not mention separation at all.
But Xu Qiuniang knew what her eldest son was thinking. She knew her son was alienated from her.
She knew she shouldn't have married that woman in the first place. She looked like a troublemaker and a restless person.
"Bullshit, the family will not be divided as long as my parents are alive. You are an unfilial thing. I gave birth to you in vain." Xu Qiuniang was restrained by the eldest brother and could not close the door.
After hearing her son's words of separation, she understood everything: her son wanted to separate from the family.
How can this be possible? The farm work at home still has to be done by the eldest brother and his family. If they are gone, what will happen to the work in the fields?
"You want to split up the family? No way! I'm telling you, if you want to split up the family, you'll have to step over my dead body. You heartless thing, I'll beat you to death."
He couldn't fight back when his mother hit him, so he could only let her beat and scold him.
He just kept shouting, "Please let our family go, please let our family go."
Li Guixiang in the room was already in tears.
Seeing her daughter like this, Li's mother felt very uncomfortable.
How did it become like this?
What did her granddaughter do wrong?
Is it necessary to let my granddaughter bear the label of an evil star?
Mother Li's eyes turned red with anger. "Don't cry, Mom is here. At worst we can go home." While feeling distressed, she was also thinking about a way out.
Compared to the mother and son who are at odds with each other outside, the mother and daughter in the house seem to have a deep affection for each other.
"Mother, wuwu, mother, why is my life so miserable?"
"Don't cry, let's not cry. If you can't make ends meet, just divorce. Your parents can still support you."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, but Li Guixiang felt sweet in her heart.
Because her mother is not like her mother-in-law.
Outside, everyone watched Xu Qiuniang torturing her son like this, and they all started gossiping.
Some of the brave aunts who were not afraid of Xu Qiuniang shouted out.
"Zhongguo, you are a good person. Divide the family. If you divide the family, your family will survive."
