Su Hua was stunned. Good heavens, her mother was a master of acting. She could cry on cue and her performance was incredibly moving. She almost fooled her. If this were in modern China, she would crush a whole bunch of young heartthrobs.
Her little mouth immediately shut, but she didn't forget to wink at the three Su brothers.
As Aunt Zhou and the others listened to Su Bai's seemingly tearful words, they began to pat their chests and make guarantees.
"Don't worry, sister. We've watched Sui'er grow up since she was little. The Wang family wants to blame Sui'er for her infertility, and as her aunt, I'm the first to object! When I get back, I'll go to the village entrance to weave straw sandals and have a good chat with everyone about the Wang family's affairs."
“Yes! How can the children of our Shanghe Village be bullied by outsiders? When I go back to my parents’ home, I will definitely speak up for their good son.”
“Sister-in-law, please don’t worry. Although I, as Sui’er’s uncle, am not very capable, I’ve maintained a decent relationship with the old folks in the neighboring village over the years. I’ll go and have a good talk with them later, and I’ll make sure Sui’er doesn’t suffer this injustice again…”
Sobbing as she listened, Madam Su responded, deeply moved. "Ah, thank goodness... thank goodness you were here. Otherwise, how could an old woman like me get any justice for Sui'er? My daughter might have been bullied to death one day and I wouldn't even know it!"
After another round of back and forth, Aunt Zhou and the others finally walked out of the courtyard, looking back every step of the way.
Before leaving, he reminded Su Bai not to worry too much.
Qian's mother curled her lips, thinking, "She's practically half-buried, and she's still crying like that. Doesn't she know any shame?"
Only people with brains full of water would believe that!
After seeing off the guests, Madam Su Bai immediately pulled Su Hua aside. After her lips moved for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Hua'er, do you know how to treat your brother-in-law's illness?"
Actually, it's not appropriate to ask an unmarried girl about this kind of illness that makes it difficult for men to have children.
But recently she has subconsciously come to regard Hua'er as her pillar of support.
It seemed that as long as she nodded, nothing was impossible.
Su Hua glanced at the woman's still red eyes and sighed inwardly, "The cause of difficulty in conceiving is complicated and not easy to cure. If we really want to treat it, it may take half a year or several years to see any effect."
Her answer was somewhat vague.
Actually, the focus now is not on treating Wang Chunfu's illness.
The key is to uncover the reason behind Wang Chunfu's new lover and Su Sui's long-hidden affair. Otherwise, curing the illness would only benefit the little vixen outside, which would be like doing someone else's bidding.
However, the final decision on how to handle it depends on Su Sui's choice.
After all, in the Great Yu Dynasty, many men had three wives and four concubines. If Su Sui still chose to live with Wang Chunfu after she cleared away all the obstacles in her path, then that would be another matter entirely.
These things are still unconfirmed. If we tell our family now, given Su Bai's personality, even if she doesn't rush to the county to cause trouble for the Wang family immediately, she will still be unable to sleep for nights on end. There's no need for that.
To uncover the truth, one must follow Wang Chunfu day and night.
Moreover, it's best to find a new face who is quick-witted.
"Hua'er means it can be cured?! That's wonderful, wonderful..." Su Baishi looked at the girl's expression and the huge weight in her heart was lifted instantly.
Ever since she learned half a month ago that Su Sui was being forced to pray to gods and Buddhas because of her infertility, she felt suffocated every time she thought about it.
Later, after learning that it was Wang Chunfu's fault, the heavy burden on them was relieved considerably.
She was thinking that since the Su family had many sons, once they had a few more children, they could simply raise one of them with Sui'er. That way, when Sui'er got old, at least she would have someone to take care of her.
However, there is always a difference between a nephew and a son.
Given the Wang family's way of doing things, they probably wouldn't care much about a child who isn't their biological child.
Now that Wang Chunfu's illness is curable, it doesn't matter whether it takes six months or a year, as long as the final result is good.
Su Dahu and the others were quite far away, and although they didn't hear the conversation clearly, they could roughly guess from Su Baishi's alternating crying and laughing that Wang Chunfu had a way to cure Bing Hua'er.
Just then, a figure as black as charcoal rolled in with the speed of an arrow released from a bow.
It rolled around, wagging its tail and barking excitedly.
"Woof woof woof!! Woof woof!! Woof!!!"
He lunged straight at Su Hua.
However, her body was too small, and even after rolling left and right, she only managed to touch the hem of her skirt at her heels.
"Where did Little Black go treasure hunting?" Su Hua found it amusing, bent down and picked up the little guy into her arms. After the scraps of fish meat were stolen today, she gave it some fresh fish and mutton as compensation.
However, after eating the fish and mutton soup, the little guy has not been seen since.
Little Black gently gripped the clothes with its two chubby little paws, and seeing the smile on Su Hua's face, it also grinned.
*Smack!*
A round, staring object rolled out of the dog's mouth.
Su Hua looked closely and discovered it was a sticky copper coin. She burst out laughing instantly, "Oh my, our little black dog went to make money today!"
Hearing the noise, the people in the courtyard also came closer to see what was going on.
Seeing Su Hua's joy, Xiao Hei turned around and used its small body to block the view of others.
Her little mouth opened wide again, spitting out a yellowish thing.
It looked like a crumpled, yellow ball of paper, with a little bit of red seeping through it.
Su Hua raised an eyebrow, about to open it and take a look.
However, Su Baishi snatched it away and threw it on the ground. The crumpled paper unfolded, revealing a crooked red pattern.
"It really is a talisman!" Su Bai's heart skipped a beat. She immediately grabbed the copper coin from Su Hua's palm and threw it on the ground. She looked at the grinning puppy and asked, "Little Black, where did you find this thing?"
