Chapter 16: Splitting the Family, Breaking Off the Relationship, Choose One
"Yes, your mother is an old hag who only knows how to torture your family. Look at your two younger brothers, how well she raised them. The second brother can't even farm."
"Of course, the family's food is earned by your family. If the family is divided, you are afraid that you will have no way to make a living."
They kept talking back and forth, and Xu Qiuniang almost fainted from anger.
Su Manliang in the house knew that he couldn't let the old woman continue to make trouble, otherwise their family's reputation would be ruined, and the third son hadn't even married yet.
He called the third brother and asked him to help him go out.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, Su Manliang shouted to the mother and son lying on the ground.
"Boss, why is Qiu Niang making such a fuss? Isn't it embarrassing enough?" The boss had an idea. It seemed that he was no longer useful.
In addition to the land he discovered, he felt that his family would definitely have great fortune in the future.
Su Manliang, who had a plan in mind, stopped the two men.
"Come back quickly. If you have something to say, you can't just talk it out nicely. Are you willing to let it go until it becomes like this?" These words were addressed to Su Zhongguo. Su Manliang had already made up his mind at this point.
Looking at the people watching on the wall of his house, Su's father was furious and looked down upon the two people on the ground. It was shameful, so shameful.
However, he still maintained his usual politeness, "Everyone, this is a family matter. Every family has its own problems. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself with this matter today."
After saying that, he asked the third brother to close the door.
Although the gate of the compound was closed, the people on the wall did not leave and were still watching the show.
Seeing this, Father Su had no choice but to go into the house.
Su Zhongguo and Xu Qiuniang also followed in.
As soon as he came in, Su Zhongguo was hit by a teacup thrown by his father.
"You're not satisfied until the whole village laughs at us, are you?" Father Su glared at him. "You're the eldest in the family. Isn't it normal for you to suffer a little? Do you really need to settle accounts with your own brothers?"
That's such a shameless thing to say.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise I would be laughed at.
"Dad, I deserve to suffer, but why should Guixiang?" Su Zhongguo looked at his biological father with red eyes. Why didn't he realize that his father was so partial before?
In the past, he just felt that his mother was partial, always favoring his second and third brothers, and even his eldest sister. But since he was the eldest brother, he also loved his younger brothers and sisters.
But after getting married, his mother was too partial to both sides of her family.
Why should my second brother’s wife enjoy such a good life with my second brother, and have to be given food and gifts when she returns to her parents’ home?
Whenever his wife brings some vegetables back to her mother's house, she will be scolded by her mother.
He never thought about what his wife brought back from her parents' home every time.
It’s also because his mother-in-law and the others don’t care. If everyone were like his mother, his family would have broken up long ago.
"My wife not only does laundry and cooking at home, she also has to work in the fields. Even when she is pregnant, she still goes to the fields to harvest wheat. But what about my second brother's wife?" Thinking of the hardships his wife had endured, Su Zhongguo blamed his parents for not being partial.
"As soon as my second brother's wife was found to be pregnant, my second brother sent her back to her parents' home. Not only that, he also took away the food rations. She doesn't do any housework at home except washing my second brother's clothes. She refuses to even enter the kitchen."
"Is my wife lowly? Should I serve all of you?"
Su Zhongguo got angry and directly told all his grievances.
But when Su's father and his family heard these words, they felt that their son was unfilial. Isn't it natural for a daughter-in-law to serve them? What's there to worry about?
The second son's family is from the town and they don't know how to do this kind of work.
What's wrong with Li Guixiang doing more as the eldest sister-in-law?
Do you behave like an elder sister-in-law? You have to argue with your younger brother and sister-in-law over such a small matter.
I knew she was not a good person, a troublemaker.
This is the common understanding of the Su family.
"Whose daughter-in-law doesn't work after getting married? Didn't the second brother marry someone who can't work? You still care about this. How can she be the eldest sister-in-law? Humph, I said at that time that she could not be the eldest daughter-in-law of our Su family, but you didn't believe me. Now you know how hard it is." Xu Qiuniang looked indifferent, full of dissatisfaction with Li Guixiang.
When Su Zhongguo heard this, his heart sank.
He shouldn't have had any hope for them.
"Dad, Mom, I want to divide the family. The third child is already eighteen years old, and I have fulfilled my duties as the eldest brother. If you don't agree, then I will go back to my parents' home with my wife."
"Anyway, my parents-in-law are happy to let us go. Baojun is going to the county town to work. He is far away and can't take care of the family."
Su Zhongguo became calm, and his words were spoken lightly, but they were like bombshells to the Su couple.
This is to plan to marry into the family.
No, the Su family cannot have a son-in-law.
"Give up this idea! I don't agree with you going to the Li family. If you dare to go, I will break your legs." Father Su glared at his own son fiercely.
If you don’t know him, you might think he is an enemy.
"If you want to divide the family, fine. I agree. However, your third brother is still unmarried, so I can't give you the house. If you want to divide the family, you and your whole family must move out." Father Su looked at his eldest son, who was not close to him, and his heart was filled with anger.
Regardless of whether the division of the family property is fair or not, he wants to leave the Su family. Okay, let him do that.
"Dad, it was my father-in-law and brother-in-law who helped build this house. Why can't I live in it?" The house he lives in now was renovated by his father-in-law and brother-in-law when he got married.
Why should we kick him out now that the family is divided?
"Impossible! That's my house. I won't let anyone out. If Mom and Dad are bothered, then build a wall down the middle of the yard and I'll open a new gate."
Let him give his things to these people who don't love him, they don't deserve it.
As soon as Su Zhongguo said this, Su Zhongfu, who had been hiding in the house, couldn't help but jump out.
"Brother, are you talking like a human being? If you didn't have parents, could you have come into this world?" There was contempt and disgust in his eyes, as if the person in front of him was not his brother, but some dirty thing.
Su Zhongfu's words were immediately recognized by Su's father and others. Xu Qiuniang looked at her eldest son with anger in her eyes, "That's right, are you still human?"
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know where you'd be suffering. How could you have the life you have now? Don't be ungrateful after getting an advantage. Su Zhongguo, I'm telling you, we can split up the family, but take your whole family and get out of here."
Su Zhongnian couldn't bear to see this and wanted to step forward to say a fair word for his elder brother, but he was stopped by Su's father as soon as he took a step.
"None of your business, just stay aside."
"Then should I thank you? Thank you for bringing me to this world to serve you guys like a slave." Su Zhongguo also exploded and shouted loudly.
"If you want to take my things, you can, but pay for it."
He didn't want to go that far, but if they pushed him further, he wouldn't mind being an orphan.
"You still want money? Bah! I didn't know you were so shameless. I gave you your life. What's wrong with taking some things from you? What's wrong?" Xu Qiuniang slapped Su Zhongguo in the face without saying a word.
