Chapter 8 Listening to the child's voice, the father and son become alienated
"My parents are so kind. They believe everything Grandpa says. Grandpa got hurt because he was too anxious and didn't see the situation in the water clearly."
"Grandpa picked up a huge box of treasures. What nemesis? I'm a lucky star, okay?"
Su Jiani thought indignantly.
"Grandpa and grandma are so partial. They didn't give any of these treasures to my parents."
Su Zhongguo heard it clearly this time. It was his daughter's voice. He pointed at the child in his wife's arms and opened his mouth to speak, but his throat felt like it was threatened by a knife and no sound came out.
Li Guixiang noticed his change and pulled him with her free hand.
Then she shook her head at him.
Signal him not to ask and not to say anything.
Mrs. Li felt bad when she saw her daughter and her daughter shaking hands. "I know you're upset, but you can't let Guixiang and the children suffer forever, Zhongguo, what do you think?"
Su Zhongguo was still immersed in his daughter's thoughts and failed to respond to his mother-in-law's words immediately.
His silence made Li's mother feel that her son-in-law was still favoring his own parents.
She could understand, but she didn't accept it.
"If you really can't take care of Guixiang and her children, I'll take them home first. After you finish your business here, you can come and pick them up, okay?"
Li Guixiang didn't dare to let her mother continue. "Mom, I will discuss this with Zhongguo. I'm still in confinement. How can I go back to my parents' home? It's not good for my brother."
Of course I can't go back, because my daughter said that this matter is not that simple.
He shook Su Zhongguo's hand to bring him back to his senses.
As she wished, Su Zhongguo came back to his senses and said, "Yes, mother, look at what you said. If I can't even take care of my wife and children, then why did I get married?"
Naturally, he would not let his wife and children suffer any injustice.
"That's fine. It's best to shut your mother up. If she spreads rumors in the village, Xiaobao's life will be difficult in the future."
These days, a girl's reputation is very important.
"Yes, mother, I know."
Mother Li went out, leaving the space to the young couple.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Jiani fell asleep again.
Looking at his sleeping daughter, Su Zhongguo couldn't help asking, "What's going on? Did I hear Xiaobao's voice just now?"
Li Guixiang looked at her excited husband and nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, Zhongguo, that's what our Xiaobao is thinking. Zhongguo, don't you think Xiaobao is a gift from God? Otherwise, how could she know so much?"
He told Su Zhongguo everything that Su Jiani had expressed before.
After hearing this, Su Zhongguo's eyes turned red. "Guixiang is a treasure God has given to our family. You can't tell anyone about this, not even my mother-in-law and the others." While feeling sorry for his son, he was even more worried about his daughter.
"If this gets out, I'm afraid it will hurt my daughter."
Li Guixiang was well aware of his worries. "Don't worry, I've already told the eldest and second brothers not to tell anyone else. However, I've noticed that even if we wanted to, we couldn't. Didn't you feel that just now?"
After being reminded of this, Su Zhongguo also reacted, "Yes, I wanted to ask you just now, but my throat felt like it was threatened by a knife. It hurt so much that I couldn't make a sound."
The parents quickly accepted the fact that they could hear their daughter's inner voice, and for their daughter's safety, they planned not to tell anyone who couldn't hear her inner voice.
"In Xiaobao's heart, his father was injured this time because he found the treasure. Zhongguo, do you believe it?" She still didn't quite believe it.
No matter how much his father-in-law dislikes him, Zhongguo is his own son. How could he not give Zhongguo anything?
"It's probably true. I believe Xiaobao. Don't worry about Guixiang's matter. I will keep an eye on that side." He wanted to see how cruel his father was.
If it is true as my daughter said, the love between father and son is over.
If the father is not kind, the son cannot be filial.
"What do you want to do? Don't do anything stupid. Think about me and our four children." Li Guixiang was afraid that her husband would be impulsive, so she tried to comfort him.
Su Zhongguo patted Li Guixiang's hand with a doting look on his face, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid, I just want to see how heartless my father is."
The opportunity will come soon.
There weren't many entertainment activities at night these days. Everyone would wash up after dinner and then go to bed.
Because Su Zhongguo was still thinking about the treasure his daughter had mentioned before, he paid close attention to the movements of the second and third sons.
Sure enough, he discovered something was wrong.
The two of them avoided him intentionally or unintentionally. They went into the main house as soon as they finished their meal, saying that they were going to take care of their father. However, Su Zhongguo knew the second brother's temperament very well. He was not such a filial person.
No matter what they discussed, Su Zhongguo planned to keep a close eye on it.
The sky gradually darkened.
Just after the lights in his and his sons' room went out, there was a noise in the yard.
If you don't pay attention you might think it's a chicken running out, but if you listen carefully you can tell it's the sound of people walking.
It was not until the courtyard door creaked shut that Su Zhongguo came out of the house in the dark.
There was a light not far from my house, and I knew from the direction I was heading towards the paddy field.
Without thinking, Su Zhongguo followed.
They are all natives of Sujia Village. Although they can climb up the mountain and down the fields with their eyes closed, they are very familiar with the roads around them. Even if there is no light, they can walk by the moonlight.
In order to avoid being discovered by the two, Su Zhongguo deliberately slowed down his pace.
After an unknown amount of time, they saw the two men stop at their own dry land.
Then I heard the sound of two people talking, and soon I saw their shadows waving hoes.
After waiting for a while, I heard two people screaming. As you can imagine, they opened the box and saw what was inside.
"Second brother, Dad told us not to open it." Su Zhongnian was also shocked by the things in the box, but he still remembered their father's instructions.
"What are you afraid of? Dad is not here. Okay, I'll give this to you. When you get home, you will know what to say and what not to say." This younger brother was too honest.
"Then give me your eldest brother's share. I will find a chance to give it to him." Su Zhongnian said honestly, but he was still thinking about his eldest brother in his heart.
"If you dare to give it to Big Brother, then wait for Dad to beat you to death. Don't forget, Dad said that Big Brother must not know about this."
Su Zhongfu was very happy with his father's behavior. After all, he didn't like his elder brother and his wife.
Su Zhongguo, who was far away, heard their conversation, but he didn't see clearly what they took. Even so, he knew it was a treasure.
The third child still remembers himself, but the second child, Su Zhongguo frowned. No wonder his daughter disliked the second child's daughter in her heart. Now it seems that like seed, like child.
I'm afraid that niece is not a good person either.
Seeing the two men start to walk back, Su Zhongguo found a place to hide.
Followed all the way back home.
