Chapter 6 Argument Qiu Yu Ruo had already thought of Su Yun...
Qiu Yuru had already suspected that Su Yunting had stopped taking his medication.
In modern society, while the government provides some financial support for seriously ill patients, ordinary families may still fall into poverty due to illness. Moreover, in this era, people without a certain level of financial security often stop taking medication after a long period of illness.
It's all because we don't have money.
Qiu Yuruo already has a plan to make money, but there is a comatose patient at home who needs to be turned over and fed every day. There should also be massage to prevent muscle atrophy, so he can't be left alone.
When Su's mother was alive, she was the one who took care of Su Yunting. After Su's mother passed away, Su Jingshu was a girl, so at most she could only help with things like turning over in bed, feeding, and changing clothes. These tasks were probably done by Su Yunting's younger brother.
Su Yunting has been in a coma for nearly three months, and the chances of him waking up are very slim. In this era, regardless of whether a woman has the ability to support her family, there must be a male member in the family to support the household.
The Su family has four siblings, two boys and two girls. Su Yunting is in a coma and is the only male left in the family. If he is of good character, Qiu Yuruo plans to send him to continue his studies when the family is better off financially.
If his character is questionable, he should be sent out to work and learn to support his family; it's impossible to leave him at home to take care of his older brother.
Therefore, from now on, I will be the only one who can take care of Su Yunting personally.
Since Su Yunting can't be separated from someone by his side, he can't choose a place far from home to sell food in the future.
As Qiu Yuruo was considering where would be the most suitable place to set up her stall, the courtyard became lively again.
The banquet is over; the bride and groom are heading home.
When her family members are leaving, Qiu Yuruo always goes out to see them off, regardless of whether she truly misses them.
When Qiu Yu came out of the new house, the Su family worried that she would cause trouble.
Just because she didn't make a fuss when she first entered the house doesn't mean she won't make a fuss after spending time with the oblivious Su Yunting in the new house.
The lively scene of seeing off guests suddenly quieted down.
The guest of honor accompanying the bride was Uncle Qiu, who knew that Qiu Yu would be willing to marry him if she took the old man's money.
When Uncle Qiu saw Qiu Yuruo come out, he said, "Yuruo, we're leaving now. I'll come back to pick you up the day after tomorrow, the day you return to your parents' home."
After Uncle Qiu finished speaking, the people from the Su family saw that Qiu Yuruo still didn't make a fuss. On the contrary, she even had a smile on her face, just like a normal bride saying goodbye to her family.
Seeing their surprised and suspicious looks, Qiu Yu Ruo said to Uncle Qiu San to avoid them imagining any bad stories, "Uncle, you can go back without worry. Although Yun Ting is sick, it's not just the two of us. There are still my younger brother and sister at home. In any case, I will no longer be all alone."
When the Su family heard Qiu Yuruo say this, they suddenly remembered that Su Yunting's parents were dead and he was still in a coma, which was indeed not a good outcome.
However, Qiu Yuruo had long lost her parents and had no brothers or sisters. With such a cursed fate, marrying into this family wasn't too unfair.
Once the Su family thought about it this way, and seeing Qiu Yuruo not crying or making a fuss, they no longer felt it was out of place.
The atmosphere became lively again.
After seeing the Qiu family off, Qiu Yuruo was about to thank the person who had helped organize things.
Old Man Su, who had been hiding in the back, stopped hiding and stood in front of everyone after confirming that Qiu Yuruo had no complaints about marrying his comatose grandson.
After all, he was Su Yunting's grandfather, so the person in charge first introduced the old man's identity to Qiu Yuruo.
Seeing that Qiu Yuruo greeted him respectfully, Old Man Su felt more at ease and said to her, "From now on, you are a daughter-in-law of the Su family, the eldest daughter-in-law of our generation. You must respect the elders and love the younger ones, and set a good example for the daughters-in-law below you!"
Qiu Yuru thought to herself, "There are no elders left in this family, so whose elders am I supposed to respect?"
This old man Su has even separated Su Yunting's branch of the family, and he still wants to establish rules for filial piety. He says that old man Qiu is not a loving grandfather. Compared to this old man from the Su family, old man Qiu may not be loving, but at least he still has some shame.
The old man from the Su family can truly be described as shameless.
He was shameless, but Qiu Yuruo couldn't be disrespectful to him.
Being respectful does not mean you have to be controlled by him.
While Old Man Su was speaking, Qiu Yuruo did not refute him at all. After he finished speaking, Qiu Yuruo said, "I only heard before that you separated this area and asked for ten acres of land for retirement, and that you didn't care about things here anymore. After hearing what you said today, I realized that what was being said outside was not credible."
Old Su was quite pleased with Qiu Yuruo's words, and he stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Qiu Yuruo continued, "Since you're not going to ignore things here, that's great. It's not good for Yunting to stay unconscious like this. Why don't you and your second uncle take him to the county to see a doctor and get some medicine? Maybe he can wake up after a few years of rest!"
The old man, who had been so smug just moments before, stopped nodding and stroking his beard after hearing what Qiu Yuruo said next. He put on a sorrowful face and said, "Yunting's illness has hit me the hardest. I want him to get better as soon as possible, but I'm already this old and I'm powerless to help him!"
Qiu Yuruo: "Grandpa is getting old, and there's still my second uncle in the family. We're all family, why should we be so strict about dividing things? We should help each other out."
Before Old Man Su could object after Qiu Yu finished speaking, Second Uncle Su objected. He found that his nephew's new wife was much more difficult to deal with than his deceased sister-in-law.
The old man was still thinking of continuing to control this area, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore.
Uncle Su said directly, "Separate the family, separate the family. Once we're separated, we're two separate families. We'll each live our own lives. There's no reason why an uncle has to pay for his nephew's medical treatment!"
After Uncle Su finished speaking, he saw Qiu Yuruo's expression change. He was waiting for her to turn hostile. Now that the two families had fallen out, he wouldn't have to take care of those burdensome people here anymore.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yuruo held back her fuss and continued, "Although we've separated the family, we can't just separate our flesh and blood. I don't necessarily want you to treat Yunting's illness. I just want you to help me find a car tomorrow so we can take Yunting to see a doctor in the county."
Qiu Yuruo spoke softly, but Uncle Su saw a shrewdness hidden in her eyes.
She's trying to elevate herself!
Uncle Su snorted inwardly. These were all things he had already used to deal with his dead boss. If Qiu Yu wanted to use this method against him, no way!
We must turn against her, otherwise she'll cling to us and we'll be in endless trouble from now on!
He waved his hand dismissively, saying, "The crops in the fields are almost ready for harvest. If I follow you to the county, how will I make a living?"
"Yunting's family, Yunting's illness is like this. The doctors all say the chances of him waking up are slim. Don't make things difficult for your second uncle. This is his fate; you have to accept it when the time comes."
He refused decisively, even bringing up his fate, but Qiu Yuruo didn't agree with him, saying only, "Delaying you for a day won't affect the harvest in a while."
Uncle Su: Hey, she's really sticking to me!
To avoid being entangled with Qiu Yuruo, Uncle Su said things that were all very blunt and unfriendly.
Qiu Yuruo only said that he was the uncle, and even if the family had separated, he could not abandon Su Yunting.
Aunt Su, who was filling a basin with the leftover meat dishes from the banquet, heard her husband arguing with Qiu Yuruo, so she put down the basin and ran out.
With Aunt Su's arrival, the scene immediately became chaotic.
...
Su Yunting slowly regained consciousness, but before his brain could even process anything, his attention was drawn to the noise outside.
It was my second uncle and second aunt arguing with a strange woman.
Su Yunting's mind was fully clear amidst the arguing. Without needing to listen carefully to the content of their argument, he already knew in his heart that the strange woman arguing with his second uncle and the others must be his wife.
In the courtyard, Uncle Su explained that he also had a family to support and couldn't take care of things here.
Aunt Su was vicious in every word she said. She said that if Qiu Yu was destined to be a lone star, then Su Yunting was also destined to bring misfortune to his father, mother, and brothers. She claimed that his older brother, who died young, was killed by Su Yunting.
Aunt Su jumped up, slapped her thigh, and said, "With your fates, you two have already ruined your own parents, so don't ruin ours too. Now that we've separated, we're two separate families. Don't bother us with your problems anymore!"
Qiu Yuruo wasn't annoyed. She simply said, "You are Yunting's second uncle and aunt. Who else can we turn to if we don't have something to ask you?"
Uncle Su felt that Qiu Yuruo was like a leech, once she stuck to you, you couldn't get rid of her: "I also have limited abilities. Your father-in-law passed away early, and it's already difficult enough for me to support him. I really don't have the ability to take care of you."
From now on, let's each live our own lives and not bother each other!
After Uncle Su finished speaking, he pulled the clan leader aside and said, "You were there when the family divided up. It was all agreed upon back then. Now the Yun Ting family is refusing to acknowledge it. You have to say something fair!"
Clan Chief: "..." If Yun Ting's wife had already married into the family back then, you wouldn't have been able to separate them so easily.
Although the clan leader felt sorry for Su Yunting, the division of the family had been documented in writing.
So all I could say to Qiu Yuruo was, "When the Yun Ting family divided their property, it was agreed that neither side would have to take care of you, whether you were sick or had a wedding or funeral. Your mother-in-law was still alive at the time, and she agreed to it; she even signed the document."
After the clan leader finished speaking, Qiu Yuruo's expression first turned to shock, then to helplessness, and she couldn't say a word.
No one was arguing in the yard anymore, only the suppressed sobs of the two younger sisters remained.
After hearing all this, Su Yunting was filled with boundless hatred and felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He hated his grandfather's ruthlessness and his second uncle's greed and selfishness.
Most of the land in the family was acquired by my father when he went to trade with my cousin. My grandfather kept the profits from the land all these years, and he never paid a single tael of silver for my studies or the cost of taking the imperial examinations.
His father passed away, and he was in a coma. His grandfather had saved up the land income for so many years, but only gave him a month's worth of medicine. When the family divided the property, he was only given a few taels of silver. The land was divided equally between him, his own family, and his second uncle's family. He would live with his second uncle from now on, and his own family would also give him ten mu of land for his old age.
Every time Su Yunting thought of these things, his hatred would increase by two points, and today his hatred had multiplied.
But besides hatred, he could do nothing but repeat in his heart, "You wait, wait until I wake up..."
