Chapter 34: Moving into a new house, the Su family comes
Su Zhongguo looked at the jade pendant with surprise in his eyes, "If I remember correctly, this seems to be a token of entering the mountains." What is this for?
"Good boy, you have good taste. It's the piece I gave you that year. It's a pity you didn't want it. It just so happens that your daughter and I have a connection."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhongguo was furious. "Impossible! My daughter doesn't want to be a Taoist priest. She's so delicate and sweet, how could she be a Taoist priest?"
Seeing his resistance, Taoist Master Renkong was so angry that he resorted to violence. "What's wrong with my Taoism? Others who want to join don't even have this opportunity, and you're still complaining? Boy, I think you're asking for a fight."
So, Su Zhongguo was driven out of the mountain gate by Taoist Master Renkong with a book and a jade pendant.
This caused many people who knew Su Zhongguo to come and laugh at his joke.
For a moment, the feeling of parting disappeared.
Su Wen, Su Wu and the other three no longer felt reluctant to part, all they had was the superb martial arts displayed by Taoist Master Renkong.
They are salivating.
Lijia Village.
It was ten days later when Su Zhongguo returned.
The house is almost finished, and now it’s just a matter of ventilating it and adding furniture and ventilation.
Naturally, we asked the old carpenter in the village to make the furniture.
When he came back, he saw his father building a wall around his house with everyone else.
Yes, a wall. He didn't use a fence in the yard because he felt that it was not very safe. It would be better to just build a wall with earthen bricks. This was what he had discussed with his father before.
"That's Zhongguo, Uncle Kailiang, look, that's Zhongguo back."
One of the people who was building the wall had sharp eyes and spotted Su Zhongguo coming from a distance.
Father Li looked up and saw that it was indeed his Zhongguo.
"Really? You guys are busy, I'll go home and take a look."
Halfway through the journey, the father-in-law and son-in-law met each other.
"Dad, I see they are building the wall. Is it almost finished?" Su Zhongguo stopped and waited for his father-in-law, then looked at his home behind him.
Father Li nodded and took a puff of his pipe. "Well, it'll only take two days. When you have time, go check out the furniture. If it's ready, we'll move it back."
Now that his daughter's family had settled down, he felt relieved. Otherwise, he would have to come and check on her every day, delaying his work in the fields.
"By the way, I have finished my spring planting. If you have time, go to the fields and help me fertilize them." Nowadays, there are urea and other alternative farm fertilizers.
"Okay, I'll go to the fields tomorrow."
The two talked as they walked, and soon they entered the house.
Li's mother and Li Guixiang were washing red radishes they had picked from the fields with their children in the yard. These radishes had spent the winter in the fields. Although these radishes tasted bitter, everyone used them to make pickles, which were an indispensable dish on the dinner table.
"You're back. How are the children?" As soon as she saw Su Zhongguo coming back, Li Guixiang couldn't help but ask about the children.
I know they miss their children, but there is no other choice. "They are all fine. They have adapted well to life in the mountains. The Taoist priest told us to wait until they are fourteen years old and then go up the mountain to pick them up. Xiaowen will probably be the first to come down the mountain."
Su Zhongguo told them some things about the mountains and some interesting stories about the children.
This made everyone feel at ease.
"At the age of fourteen, they can still go to junior high school. When the time comes, you can move your household registration to the city and enroll them in school." Father Li nodded after hearing this.
He thought this arrangement was a good one as it would not delay the children's schooling or their learning of skills.
The older generation like Mr. Li actually don’t place much importance on studying. In their eyes, learning a skill is more popular.
"Yes, the Taoist priest said the same thing. They will also learn cultural courses in the mountains, but it is not as comprehensive as in school. After returning and attending junior high school, they will quickly integrate into the society." Su Zhongguo relayed Taoist priest Renkong's words to the others.
Li Guixiang and her mother were finally relieved.
But after not seeing their children for so many years, they still miss them.
Mother Li also had some complaints in her heart. She didn't say anything about the older child, but the two younger ones were too young.
But they, as parents, have made the decision, and she, as a grandmother, can't say much.
As the days passed, the day of moving to new house soon arrived.
It can be said that Su Zhongguo has completely integrated into the Lijia Village family.
Look at the number of tables in the yard. No other family’s wedding can be as lively as the one in Su Zhong’s country.
Fortunately, Su Zhongguo and his wife are not short of money, otherwise they would not be able to afford so many tables.
Just as everyone was congratulating Su Zhongguo and Li Guixiang, the children from the village hurried into the yard.
He kept calling me uncle and aunt.
The older children were quick on their feet and found Su Zhongguo early.
One of them was also a child of the Li family. He pointed outside the courtyard with excitement and said, "Uncle, someone from Sujia Village is coming."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Zhongguo, who had just been laughing happily, immediately stopped smiling and looked sullen.
"How many people are there?" he asked immediately.
The one who brought the news was the eldest grandson of my third uncle, Li Ziyue, who was twelve years old. It was a holiday today, and he happened to have his aunt move into a new house, so he took the children from the village to play.
Unexpectedly, she ran into a group of people who came angrily to cause trouble for her aunt.
"There are a lot of them, and they are all very fierce." The twelve-year-old boy was already sensible and knew the word unity, so when he heard that group of people asking about his uncle, he took everyone and ran away.
He never thought that by running like this he was actually leading others.
Father Li, who was standing next to Su Zhongguo, frowned, and some of Li's uncles stood up.
"Don't be afraid, Zhongguo. We are here. If the Su family dares to bully you, then let them know how powerful our Li family is."
A grumpy uncle directly stood up for Su Zhongguo.
Li Kaizong looked at his brother with a frosty face.
"Kailiang, what do you think about this?" He asked his brother in a neither loud nor soft voice.
Li Kailiang glanced at his elder brother and saw that he was angry.
"Let's see what they want to do. If they come to cause trouble, my family is not afraid." Although Li Kailiang knew about Su Zhongguo and the Su family, they were his parents after all, so it was not good for him to go too far.
"Zhongguo, let's go and take a look."
The Su family came here because the second son of the Su family was stirring up trouble, and after Su's father recovered from his injury, he went to the creek to look for treasure, but found nothing.
In addition, with his eldest son away, all the burdens fell on his shoulders, making him very uncomfortable for a while.
With his second son adding fuel to the fire, he found out that his eldest son had not only built a house in Lijia Village, but had also moved his household registration there. He could no longer save face.
Look, on such a happy day, he brought people here to bring bad luck.
As soon as Su Zhongguo walked out of the yard, he met someone from the Su family.
Seeing that the person taking the lead was his own father, Su Zhongguo felt very uncomfortable and his throat was sore.
"Dad." But he still called him dad, but this word made father Li feel very distressed.
"You unfilial son, you ungrateful bastard, how dare you?" Father Su came up to Su Zhongguo regardless and slapped him in the face.
There was a loud snap.
"I agree with your decision to split the family, but what about you? What are you doing? Are you trying to slap me in the face?" Father Su roared angrily, "Who told you to move your household registration to Lijia Village?"
Father Li felt deeply distressed when he saw his son-in-law being beaten. He stepped forward and said, "Do you think you're right to kick him out of the house? What? Are you so dissatisfied with having forced your eldest son to death?"
"Hmph, Mr. Su, I'm still here. If you dare to hit my son-in-law, I'll make sure you can't leave Lijia Village. Believe it or not?" Father Li stood in front of Su Zhongguo to protect his son.
When everyone in the Li family saw Li's father step forward, they all took a step forward angrily.
Compared with the people from the Li family, the people from the Su family are not as good as others.
After all, except for Su's father's family, everyone in Su's family still has to save face.
There are very few members of the Su family who actually come here, because they know that the Su family is not in the right.
Most of the people who followed there were Su Zhongfu's brothers and nephews from his mother's side, but not real members of the Su family.
"What does it have to do with you if I teach my son a lesson? If you want a son, just give birth to one yourself. What's the point of taking someone else's son?" Although Su Zhong was a little embarrassed, he had been put in a difficult position and didn't want to lose face.
"Where's your son? Is he dead? You're so shameless thinking about someone else's son. Let me tell you, as long as Su Zhongguo still has the last name Su, he's a member of my Su family."
Father Su is really not afraid of death. He dares to speak like this in front of the Li family and is not afraid of being beaten to death.
"I don't care about anything else. My Su family wants this house."
After hearing this, Su Zhongguo had no idea what was going on. It turned out that she was thinking about his newly built house.
hehe.
It's ridiculous, his persistence in family affection is really ridiculous.
"Shut up." Su Zhongguo was angry.
You can scold him, but what did his father-in-law's family do wrong?
Why should I follow him and suffer this humiliation? "How dare you blame my father-in-law." Su Zhongguo took a step forward and faced his father directly.
"Not only did you kick me out, you didn't give me a penny, you didn't give me an inch of land, you didn't even leave me a place to stay. What, are you not happy that I'm not dead?"
Her eyes turned redder as she spoke, "House, huh? How dare you think about the house my father-in-law built for me? Is it because you are so shameless or because you are so shameless?"
Father Su never thought that the boss would dare to speak to him like this.
"You, you, you rebellious son."
"Haha, am I your son? Do you think I am your son?" Su Zhongguo roared, "I am just a farmhand in your family. It took you so long to show up. Do you think your family is suffering without me as a farmhand? Now you are trying to suck my blood in various ways."
Su Zhongguo didn't give his father any face at all, "Don't think I don't know your calculations. I tell you, you can bully me, but you shouldn't bully my father-in-law. You don't deserve it."
After saying that, he went straight to work and pushed Su's father back with force, and he took another step forward.
Seeing that his father was silenced by his elder brother, Su Zhongfu jumped out and said, "Brother, after all, your parents gave birth to you. Isn't it not good for you to treat your father like this?"
He stood on the moral high ground, as if he were some kind of deity. "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but as a son, how can you be angry with your parents? Weren't mom and dad angry at the time? That's why they separated from you. How could they really bear to see you suffer?"
"They just want you to hit your head against a wall and not be manipulated by women. Why can't you understand their good intentions?"
What you said is really shameless.
Su Zhongguo didn't waste any time talking to him and just slapped Su Zhongfu in the face.
"Bullshit, Su Zhongfu, don't think I don't know your little tricks. You want me to go back and be a farmhand? No way."
Seeing his beloved son being beaten, Father Su could no longer bear it. "You beast, you dare to hit your brother, I will beat you to death."
As he said this, he raised his hand to hit Su Zhongguo, but not only did the slap not land, Su Zhongguo also grabbed his arm.
The two also approached three points.
Su Zhongguo had a miserable look on his face, and his eyes were full of disdain for the father in front of him.
"You, don't you really know why you separated our family? Have you hidden those treasures well? If not, you'd better be careful."
His voice was very soft, but Father Su could hear it clearly.
"You." Look, panic and fear flashed in Su's father's eyes.
"How do you know?"
"You want my daughter to take the blame for you, and you want our whole family to sacrifice for my younger siblings, yet you still don't want to give me any benefits. You are really good parents and good brothers."
Su Zhongguo didn't want to say this, but since they were shameless, don't blame him.
He pushed hard and said, "If you want to possess things that you shouldn't have, then be a good boy. Otherwise, whether you can keep those things is another matter." He said this without hiding anything.
Father Su was scared. He didn't expect that this unfilial son actually knew that he had obtained the treasure.
"You can beat me, scold me, and even take my life, but you can't bully my wife and daughter. I won't allow it."
As he said that, Su Zhongguo kicked Su Zhongfu again, knocking him to the ground again after he had just gotten up.
"Get out of my house now."
Su Zhongnian stood up with tears in his eyes, "Brother, don't do this, I'm scared."
He wanted to persuade his elder brother to go home, but he was scared when he saw his elder brother like this.
"Humph, you're not a good guy either. Okay, let's go. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
Su Zhongguo didn't give his younger brother any face at all. The Su family is all selfish.
"Brother." Su Zhongnian never expected that his elder brother would say this to him. He was very sad.
Father Su saw that his eldest son was no longer under his control. "Don't beg him. Let's go."
Father Su didn't dare to gamble, for fear that the beast would expose his family fortune.
"Dad." Su Zhongfu looked indignant. "Just let it go after he hit me?" He was helped up and stood in the distance. It was obvious that he was also afraid that Su Zhongguo would hit him again.
"So what do you want?" Before Su's father could speak, Su Zhongguo said, "Why don't you draw a line and we can compete with each other."
How could Su Zhongfu really dare to confront his elder brother? He just hid behind his parents and reaped the benefits.
He doesn't have the courage to do it seriously.
"That's enough." Father Su saw that the situation was about to get out of hand again and hurriedly stopped it. "I don't care if you want to be the son-in-law of the Li family, but just don't forget to give me the annual pension."
Boss, he can't control it anymore.
Su Zhongguo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you as much as your other sons give me. Otherwise, why should I give you so much pension money when I haven't taken anything from you? You're dreaming."
No, that’s right, no, it’s pension money, how can it not be funeral expenses.
"You, you wrote the document. Aren't you afraid that others will criticize you?" When Father Su heard this, he immediately refused.
"What am I afraid of? I just learned this from you. Didn't you take care of my grandfather in his old age?" Su Zhong said with a sneer on his face, "One hundred yuan, do you want paper money?"
That's really cruel.
"You." Father Su never expected him to say that. "Okay, okay, okay, I can't control you anymore, right? Then I'll let the elders take care of you."
With that he turned and walked out.
No matter how unwilling and calculating Su Zhongfu was, he had to give up.
In fact, the last time the father and son went to the creek to look for the treasure, they didn't find it. When Su Zhongfu heard that his eldest brother had built a new house, he thought that his eldest brother must have gone to get the treasure before them.
Today we came not only to rob the house, but also to ask him if he had taken the treasure from the stream.
The baby is the most important thing.
Now that his father is leaving, how can he be willing to accept this?
But what he didn't know was that if he continued to argue, all the things that Su's father had hidden would be lost.
However, Su's father was also convinced that the things in the stream must have been taken away by Su Zhongguo.
Your guess is right, but if you admit it, go ahead and sue the authorities if you have the guts.
