Chapter 101: Wait until the little girl grows up
He Jiaolan looked at everyone in the Su family, but everyone avoided her gaze. Who would want this daughter-in-law and sister-in-law?
She has become so self-deprecating that it would be a disgrace to anyone who marries her.
Dazaohua knew her husband's temper, so she quickly dragged her daughter home.
"Let's go back and talk about it, okay?"
He Jiaolan listened to her mother, and was also afraid that her father was serious, so she could only reluctantly get up and follow him, looking back every few steps.
After they walked away, Su's mother covered her heart with her hands, her chest aching with anger.
"I'm so angry, I'm really so angry! They were planning to take advantage of my Ah Jing. I heard he became a Juren and has a good chance of passing the Jinshi exam, so they wanted to take advantage of my family. They even resorted to such despicable tactics. I used to think He Jiaolan was a good girl, but now I think I was really blind. This family is full of monsters and demons. Don't associate with them anymore!"
Su Wan went to pour a cup of hot water for Su's mother and asked her to drink it to calm her down.
Father Su sat on the bench, covering his face with his hands, looking very sad.
The Su brothers came out of the room, all with an expression as if they had eaten a fly. They couldn't swallow it, and it was stuck in their throats and made them feel sick.
"Mom and Dad, let's renovate our house. We should also build a high blue brick wall like Hunter Jiang's house, so that those thieves can't come in and steal things."
Su Yun thought about it and decided that his yard would be safe from visitors. If his family had too much money, it would attract people's attention.
"I agree with Fourth Brother's idea. We have a large family, and it's too crowded for all of us brothers to live in one room. We can build a few more vacant rooms so that when guests come in the future, we won't have to worry about having no place to entertain them."
Su Wan had the same idea. His eldest brother would not pass the imperial examination until the autumn of next year. If he was given an official position, he would have to transition on his own for two years. After he was completely settled, he could consider bringing his parents over. They would have to continue living in this small courtyard.
Moreover, this is the ancestral home of the Su family. The ancients believed in returning to one's roots. No matter where one goes in the future, the ancestral home cannot be abandoned. The ancestors of the Su family are buried here for generations and have to come back often, so it is necessary to renovate it.
"Yes, the money for building the house will come from my own money. Don't touch Su Wan's money. Keep hers for her dowry!"
Su Yun gave the order, and the money for renovating the house would be paid from his account. He knew what was important and what was not.
Su's mother nodded in agreement. Now that their family was no longer in dire straits, they could renovate the house. But as the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, so it is better to take precautions before problems arise.
"Dad, what do you think?"
Father Su was in a state of gloom. He raised his head and nodded when he heard this.
"I'll do as you say, but it's almost the end of the year, so it's not suitable to start construction. Let's pick an auspicious day after the New Year!"
Once the head of the family has spoken, the matter is settled.
"Don't let your eldest brother know about this, so as not to pollute his ears. This is a critical time for him, and he must not be distracted. When you go out in the future, stay away from the He family and don't get into trouble again!" Mother Su warned her children.
Su Wan and the others agreed obediently. Su's mother looked at Jiang Yu in the corner again. He was sitting with his arms crossed, bored, watching the ants moving on the ground.
"Master Jiang, thanks to you, I was able to avoid this disaster this time. I don't know how to thank you enough."
This time it was really thanks to Jiang Yu's vigilance, otherwise the consequences would have been at the mercy of others.
According to Su's father's character, he would never go to find Gu Yue, but choose to trust his old brother.
"Aunt, it's just a small favor. Since I'm bothering the Su family, your business is my business. Please don't think I'm meddling in your affairs."
Jiang Yu is a good young man. In the eyes of Su's father and mother, he is enthusiastic and modest, and he is also handsome. Su's mother likes him no matter how she sees him.
"Jiang Yu, I won't be shy. From now on, I'll just call you by your full name. Calling you auntie is too unfamiliar, so just call me auntie. Auntie, let me put it this way, this is your home from now on. You can come whenever you want and stay as long as you want. There's plenty of food, as long as you don't mind it being too bland!"
That's how elders are. If a young man does something to make her happy, she will like you very much.
"That's right, Brother Yu, from today on we are brothers, don't be so formal!"
Su Yun is so heartless. He used to be against Jiang Yu, but now that Jiang Yu has done a good thing, he has completely put aside his prejudice and wants to be his brother.
He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yu's shoulders. The fifteen-year-old boy was a head shorter than him, so he had to stand on tiptoe.
Su Wan couldn't help but laugh, squinting his eyes while laughing, looking very cute and silly.
"Yes, Jiang Yu, our family is saved this time thanks to you. You can live here with peace of mind in the future. Just like your aunt said, just treat it as your own home!" Father Su also spoke.
"Okay, obedience is worse than respect!" Jiang Yu clasped his fists and bowed to everyone.
"Fourth brother, your order is coming soon, we need to prepare it quickly. And Dad, can you go to the next village to collect eggs tomorrow?"
Seeing that his father was in low spirits, Su Wan wanted to find something for him to do to divert his attention.
"I will go with Dad tomorrow, and we can harvest more together." Su Chen took the initiative to take the work for himself.
"Okay, let's go to Zhoujialing to collect eggs tomorrow."
Father Su also regrouped. He had originally wanted to drink some wine in the evening to relieve his sorrow, but his daughter had assigned him a task, so he had to take it seriously.
Finally, everyone went about their own business. Su Yun and Su Yi were still dizzy from the smoke, so they went back to lie down.
Su's mother went to cook, Su's father helped him watch the fire, and Su Chen sneaked out to find his master.
Only Su Wan and Jiang Yu were left in the yard. Su Wan helped pick vegetables, and Jiang Yu also moved a bench over to sit down.
"What a heartless person! He didn't even say thank you!"
Jiang Yu's faint voice came, and Su Wan looked up to see his slightly melancholy face.
Su Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? Is it funny?" Jiang Yu tilted his head and looked at her.
Su Wan thought, you are being sarcastic and childish like a primary school student.
"Not bad!"
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, picked up a handful of green onions and began to peel the dry leaves. A faint voice came again:
"Oh, what a sin! I work so hard but still can't please someone!"
Su Wan couldn't help it and looked straight into his eyes. Jiang Yu also looked back at her without any hesitation, and ripples appeared in his affectionate peach blossom eyes.
Su Wan was defeated first. She took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Thank you for your help, Master Jiang. I am extremely grateful!"
Jiang Yu listened, nodded in satisfaction, and waited for her next words.
“That’s it.”
"Then what else do you want to hear?" Su Wan looked confused. She felt that she was sincere enough.
"Okay!"
He would not make things difficult for the little girl. She was still young. He would wait until she grew up a little bit!
