Chapter 35: United as One, Drive Out the Father
Father Su took everyone back to the Su family, and he didn't say a word on the way.
When Su Zhongfu was about to talk about that matter, he slapped him twice.
Now Su Zhongfu has become alert.
After returning to the Su family, Su's father asked the second son to send his mother's family away.
He wanted to find out how the boss knew that he had obtained the treasure.
He suspected everyone in his family, thinking that they were the ones who leaked the news.
"Third brother, tell me honestly, did you tell your eldest brother about the treasure chest I got?" Seeing that only his father and grandfather were in the room, Father Su asked his youngest son with a serious face.
Su Zhongnian was stunned. He thought of what he had given to his eldest brother. When he heard his father ask him this, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Su's father understood, "You rebellious son, I will beat you to death." He said that why the eldest brother was so decisive in breaking off the relationship with him, it turned out that it was the third brother who was behind it.
When Su Zhongfu heard that his eldest brother also knew about the treasure at home, his heart skipped a beat. He glared at the third brother angrily, "How dare you?"
Su Zhongnian was not stupid. Seeing his father about to attack and his second brother glaring at him, he immediately came to his senses and said, "Dad, no, I didn't tell my eldest brother. I just gave one of the two things you gave me to my eldest sister-in-law as a gift to my little niece."
If he doesn't speak out quickly, he will be beaten to death today.
But it was too late for him to speak, as the crutch beside Master Su's bed had already hit him.
Su Zhongnian immediately cried out "ouch".
"Dad, I really didn't say that."
"You bastard, who told you to give it to him, who told you to give it to him." As he said that, he hit him several more times.
Su Zhongnian was so scared that he knelt on the ground. "Dad, my elder brother is also your son. How could you treat him like this? My elder brother originally had a share of that thing." He felt sorry for his elder brother.
Although his elder brother is not as kind to him as before, he still remembers his elder brother's kindness.
"That's mine. When did he get a share? You bastard! It seems I've been too nice to you."
Father Su was furious this time, especially when he thought about going back to look for things in the creek again. He was now certain that the other things in the creek had been taken away by the eldest brother.
Otherwise how would he have the money to build a house.
"Second brother, hold him down for me. Just wait and see how I deal with this nagging bastard today."
"Okay, Dad."
Su Zhongfu was also angry. The third brother was betraying their family and should be beaten to death.
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to get the house today.
No wonder Dad came back without saying a word. It turned out that my eldest brother knew that there was a treasure chest at home.
Su Zhongnian was beaten half to death by his father, who finally threw him back into the house.
Only the second son was left in the main house.
"Dad, do you think that the things in the creek were taken away by my eldest brother?" Su Zhongfu was very smart at times.
If he wasn't smart, his parents wouldn't be so biased towards him.
"Yes." Father Su nodded. "You know what the Li family's conditions are. The Li family has their own sons, so how could they possibly use money to build a new house for a married daughter? There is only one result. What's left in the creek will be taken away by your eldest brother."
Speaking of this, Father Su regretted that he should have been more patient at that time, so that the ungrateful person would not get any advantage.
"Compared to what we have at home, how much is there in the creek?" Su Zhongfu couldn't stand seeing his elder brother having more things than he did. If his elder brother had more things than he did, then he would get them no matter what.
Even if that person is his elder brother.
Father Su thought about the scene at that time. He was too nervous at that time. After receiving such a large box of things, he did not dare to stay any longer. He dragged his injured leg to hide the box.
Looking back now, there probably wasn't much in the creek.
No matter how much there is, it can never be as much as his treasure chest.
"It shouldn't be as much as ours. It's possible that the things in the box leaked out after being washed to the bottom of the water." Father Su was unwilling to believe such a result.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhongfu was obviously relieved. It was good that it wasn't too much. But even so, after calming down, he still felt a little upset.
"It's all Third Brother's fault. If it weren't for him, how would Big Brother know there was a treasure in the creek? Humph, Big Brother is really something. He got such a good thing and didn't even tell anyone at home. Mom was right. Big Brother is an ungrateful person."
Su Zhongfu felt jealous. Although his father got a big box of good things, he only got a few of them, and he had spent most of them after exchanging them for money.
Now that his wife is about to give birth, he feels that he has less and less money.
"Dad, Hongzhen is about to give birth, and I have no money. You have to give me some money." Thinking of this, he immediately asked his father for money.
Those things should all belong to him, why should he give them to others?
Father Su glared at the second son angrily and said, "I only gave you two things. Where's the money you exchanged for them? Did you spend it all?" He couldn't believe it. That was several hundred dollars. How could he dare to spend it?
Su Zhongfu was not afraid of his father glaring at him. "After buying the bicycle, there is not much left. I also bought clothes and shoes for you and mom. How can I spend that little money?" He complained immediately.
When Father Su heard what his son said, he thought of the things he had bought for the old couple, and his expression improved a little.
"Wait."
After a while, Father Su took out two gold melon seeds and said, "Exchange them for some money. We don't have much money left at home. Keep fifty of them with you and bring the rest home to me."
Fifty yuan is enough for my daughter-in-law to go to the hospital to give birth.
"father."
Su Zhongfu was naturally dissatisfied when he heard that he was only given fifty, but when he was about to speak, Su's father raised the crutch in his hand.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will beat you to death, believe it or not." Son, you are all debt collectors.
Su Zhongfu was still afraid of his father. "Fifty is fifty. Hongzhen said she wants to stay at her mother's house for confinement. You have to give me twenty yuan when the time comes. I want my mother-in-law to take care of my wife."
He knew very well what kind of person his mother was. If he asked her to take care of him during the confinement period, he didn't know how much scolding she would get. It would be better to send her back to her parents' home to recuperate as before.
Father Su also wanted his family to live a peaceful life, so he naturally agreed to this matter. "Well, you take a hundred, and come back to hold a wedding after your wife finishes her confinement. We have given gifts to many people in the village, and we haven't received all the gifts yet."
When Su Zhongfu heard that his father gave him a hundred, he immediately became happy. "I knew that Dad loves us the most. Well, he will come back after the full moon. Our family will be lively again."
In this family, there has never been a banquet for the children born to his eldest brother. At most, his eldest sister-in-law's family would come over for a meal, nothing else.
Although he didn't know why his parents were like this, he was happy because it proved that he had a higher status in his parents' hearts than his elder brother.
Even though he is the eldest son.
"You bastard, I'm tired, go out." There was a smile in Su's father's eyes. The one he raised was considerate.
After taking the two golden melon seeds, Su Zhongfu left the house. As he left, he called out, "Dad, I'm not going home today. I'll come back after I've arranged for Hongzhen."
It's already June and his wife is about to give birth.
"Well, remember to ask her to work harder and give me a grandson."
"Okay, I will definitely bring you a big fat grandson." He already has a son, so he doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl.
As long as their grandparents like them, it doesn't matter whether they are male or female.
Su Zhongfu got the things and left Sujia Village. When Xu Qiuniang came back and didn't see her good son, she asked her husband.
After learning that he had gone to his mother's house, she cursed, "You only know how to run to your mother's house. What, is there no room for him in this house?"
Hearing his wife's complaints, Father Su said without even raising his eyelids: "My second son's wife is about to give birth. This baby is too big, so she needs to go to the hospital. The family is not short of this little money."
Xu Qiuniang was unhappy when she heard this. "Why go to the hospital? It's free. She's just a rich woman. I didn't go to the hospital when I gave birth to my children before, but I still gave birth to five children for you, and all of them are safe and healthy."
Humph, why should her daughter-in-law enjoy the treatment that she hasn’t even enjoyed?
"Just say less. The eldest son's family is gone. Why do you still want to make trouble with the second son's family? Who will take care of you when you are old?" Father Su didn't want to hear her complain about the past, so he threatened her.
As expected, Xu Qiuniang was frightened. "Hmph, if she dares, I will tear her apart."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I have a headache."
Father Su opened his eyes and said, "Go see the third brother. You beat him up before." He didn't hear the third brother's voice, so he thought of him.
"Why are you hitting the child? The third child still has to work. If you hurt him, go and work yourself." With that, Xu Qiuniang walked out.
Father Su was speechless. How could he forget about going to the fields?
Well, let him go to the fields by himself for a while.
I thought the matter was over.
But when Su's father came back from the fields, he asked Su Zhongnian to call the second son back.
It was dark already, and he didn't care whether the third brother was injured or not.
Su Zhongnian is an honest child and he dares not disobey his father.
So he went to his second sister-in-law's house in Yangjia Village.
Fortunately, his second brother was at home, otherwise he would have made a wasted trip and his father wouldn't know how to scold him when he returned.
"Do you know why Dad wants to talk to me?" He just came over. Logically speaking, his father shouldn't ask him to go back.
"I don't know. Second brother, please hurry up and don't make dad wait anxiously." Su Zhongnian urged his second brother.
Yang Hongzhen, who was standing by, also looked puzzled. "Third brother, did Dad say anything? I'm about to give birth, and your second brother has to take me to the town hospital early tomorrow morning. How am I going to get to the hospital tomorrow if I go back now?"
She didn't want her man to go back at this time. They had agreed to go to the hospital tomorrow, and she had already boasted to the villagers. If she couldn't go tomorrow, she would be so embarrassed.
"Second sister-in-law, I don't know. Anyway, Dad asked me to come and call Second Brother. If Second Brother doesn't go back, then I will go back. Then I will tell Dad that Second Sister-in-law doesn't let Second Brother go back." Su Zhongnian was not as honest as imagined.
Seeing these words, the couple was so stunned that they couldn't refute a single word.
"Okay, your second sister-in-law is worried about the baby in her belly. Why are you saying so much? I'll just go back with you." His father might have something to ask him, so he has to go back. His wife is fine here, so it's the same for him to ask his mother-in-law to take her to the hospital.
"Wife, let me take you to the hospital tomorrow. I'll come to the hospital to find you when I'm free. Here's twenty yuan. Take it. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Su Zhongfu still loves his wife very much. "I will take our son back with me, and let mother take care of him when the time comes. This will save your mother-in-law from worrying about you giving birth."
My son is three years old, which is the age when he is strong and sturdy. His mother-in-law is the only one taking care of him at home and she cannot take care of two children.
Don't forget, his elder and younger brothers-in-law both have children.
When Yang Hongzhen heard that he wanted to take his son back, she didn't say much, "Okay, it's better for you to take Shaohua back. I won't be able to take care of him when I give birth to the child."
Having said that, she turned around and went back to the house to pack her son's things.
The Yang family didn't ask Su Zhongnian to go into the house and wait, but let him stand in the yard.
Su Zhongfu didn't say anything, which made the Yang family dislike Su Zhongnian even more.
Su Zhongnian didn't say anything, just stood there waiting.
But when he went back, he didn't help his second brother carry things or hold the child.
His second brother scolded him a lot along the way.
But he pretended not to hear.
When he got home, Father Su was so happy to see his eldest grandson that he asked his wife to boil eggs for him.
No matter whether the youngest son has eaten or not.
After Su Zhongnian knew about his elder brother's situation, his father didn't like him and didn't stay long. He went straight to the kitchen. However, his mother still saved dinner for him.
But it’s not a good dish.
But, as long as I can eat my fill, it’s fine.
In the house.
Father Su took out a gold ingot from his arms. It was not big, just a gold ingot weighing about five taels.
"Your eldest brother didn't get the thing in the creek. I found it today when I was managing the water in the fields. Come with me to the creek tomorrow and look for it again. It might be in that deep pool."
That’s right, the reason he called his second son back so anxiously was because he discovered something deep in the stream.
But he had an injury on his leg, which he found only after going into the water. However, the wound had been soaked for too long, and the healed wound had become ulcerated again.
I don’t know what happened, it’s been more than two months and his wounds haven’t healed yet.
When Su Zhongfu saw this thing, he was like a dog seeing shit, "Dad, didn't we look for it last time? There was nothing there. Where did you find this?"
"It's in the deep water above. Come with me tomorrow to look for it."
"good."
As he spoke, he took out two golden melon seeds from his arms and said, "Dad, give me these. I don't have a penny. Can you give me half of these after you exchange them for money?"
One liang is equal to 31.25 grams, and five liang is equal to 156.25 grams. The current price of gold is three yuan per gram, so one hundred yuan is five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to a small yellow croaker.
Tsk tsk, Su Zhongfu is really good at settling accounts.
Father Su was not stingy either. He threw the things to his son and said, "Give me three hundred yuan, and the rest is yours. Don't spend it carelessly, or I'll beat you."
All parents are partial, but the Su family is too partial.
"Okay, I won't waste it. I know dad treats me the best, hehe."
With something hanging, Su Zhongfu did not leave the village the next day. After breakfast, he went to work in the fields with his father.
Anyone with enough nerves can tell there's something wrong with these two people.
Su Zhongnian was not upset when he saw that his father did not call him, but he planned to go to his eldest brother's place. His eldest brother had misunderstood him yesterday, and he did not want his eldest brother to hate him.
In his heart, his elder brother loves and cares about him like a father, so how could he do anything to make his elder brother sad?
He remembered all the kindness his eldest brother and sister-in-law had shown him, so he had to go and explain everything to his eldest brother today, and he also had to tell his eldest brother about his second brother's plot against him.
The eldest brother has finally started a new life, and we can’t let the second brother succeed.
