"That little vixen, she's already back to her old ways as soon as she got pregnant, and she's even gotten worse!" Madam Su glared at her, took a few steps to the window of the west room, and roared like a shrew.
"Qian Yueniang, stop trying to sow discord between my daughter and me!"
What I said last night was no joke. Whether you want to eat pig's trotters, meat, cloth, or gold, you can go back to your old Qian family and ask for it!
Don't think you can act tough in the Su family just because you're pregnant. I'm not dead yet!
Madam Qian's face stiffened at the shout. Staring at the ashen face outside the window, she stammered, "Mother, Mother, you're back?"
She quickly added, "Did Hua'er come back with Mother? How is she...?"
"Don't give me that crocodile tears!" Su Baishi didn't respond at all and interrupted coldly, "Since everything's alright, hurry up and pack your things and go back to the Qian family."
After saying that, he called Su Dahu to go to the village center and invite the old village chief, Su Chengde, to come.
Madam Qian looked on in disbelief. "Mother, I'm already carrying Erhu's child in my belly, and you still want to send me back to my parents' home? Don't you even want your grandson?"
Qian Dabao, who had been sleeping in the yard, got up when he heard the noise.
He limped up to Madam Su, grinning obsequiously, "Mother-in-law, as the old saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. Erhu and Yueniang have been together for so many years, and not only did they have Chunhua, but now they even have a son. Even if you don't say they are great contributors to the Su family line, at least they shouldn't be sent back to their parents' home, right?"
"Ha, to carry on the Su family line? What a joke!" Su Bai sneered.
"Let's not even talk about the fact that my Su family already has a son, or even if we didn't, I would never care about a child that comes out of your Qian family's belly."
Qian Shi remained incorrigible, always eyeing Hua'er's belongings. Even when Hua'er's fate was unknown, she set her sights on Hua'er's fabric.
If she doesn't send him back to the Qian family this time, who knows how much trouble she'll cause in the future!
As for the baby in Qian's belly, whether it's a boy or a girl, whether it will be good or bad in the future, that's all up to fate, and no one else can be blamed.
Seeing Su Bai's resolute attitude, Qian Dabao had no choice but to look at Su Hua beside him and kneel down in front of her with a thud. "Hua'er, it is all my fault as the elder brother. It has nothing to do with Yue Niang."
If you want to hit or punish someone, come at me. Don't bother with Yue Niang, okay?
Su Hua was a little stunned by the sudden kneeling. She tried to move aside, but Su Sanhu stepped in front of her and made her take the kneeling properly. "Hua'er, there's no need to dodge. It's just a kneeling. He deserves it."
Finally, he briefly recounted what had happened the previous night to Su Hua.
Su Hua frowned as she listened. No wonder her mother was so determined to get her second brother divorced this time; the Qian family's behavior was indeed getting worse and worse.
Inside the room, Madam Qian frantically hugged the man's waist, tears welling in her phoenix eyes. "Brother Erhu, I finally managed to have a son after taking so much medicine. Now you're all we have left, so you won't abandon us, will you?"
Seeing that the man didn't speak, she cried even harder, and while crying, she pulled Su Erhu's hand to her belly, "Brother Erhu, feel it quickly, our son is almost a month old, he can already understand what we say in the belly."
He doesn't want us to divorce, and he doesn't want to be born a child without a father, which is why he was unhappy last night and bled.
The doctor also said that my health is weak. If you really don't want my child and send us back to the Qian family, I'm afraid we'll only end up dying together..."
Su Erhu frowned deeply.
He gently pried the woman's hands apart, saying, "I understand. Just lie down in bed and don't think about it anymore."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qian calmed down somewhat, but her dissatisfaction with Madam Su Bai and Madam Su Hua intensified.
If it weren't for wanting to have a son for Su Erhu, she wouldn't have bothered taking so many fertility drugs these days, ruining her once beautiful face. A few days ago, she even heard the young wives in the village saying that she had become an ugly monster.
But their own grandmother and aunt showed no compassion whatsoever for the child she had worked so hard to have, and the same was true for the rest of the family.
Su Erhu walked out of the west room and saw Su Hua standing beside Su Baishi in a red dress. His heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down, and his knees bent unconsciously.
"Hua'er, it's your second brother's fault."
"Second Brother!" Su Hua's lips twitched, and she quickly steadied him. "Second Brother, are you trying to shorten my lifespan?"
"No, no." Upon hearing this, Su Erhu dared not kneel any longer, and could only lower his head and apologize repeatedly, "Hua'er, I'm sorry, your second brother is so sorry..."
Su Hua lowered her eyes and saw that he looked like he had aged ten years overnight. She felt bad for him. "This has nothing to do with Second Brother. Even brothers are not always of one mind, let alone brothers-in-law who are from different families."
Qian Dabao is Qian Dabao, and his second brother is his second brother; they shouldn't be confused.
Since my second brother doesn't want a divorce...
"Don't you want a divorce?" Upon hearing this, Madam Su's voice suddenly rose, and she pulled Su Erhu away. "Su Erhu, I made it very clear last night that if you don't divorce Madam Qian, I will pretend that I never gave birth to you as a son, and you will not call me 'Mother' anymore. Do you remember?"
"My son remembers." Su Erhu grabbed his hair with both hands, looking dejected and depressed.
Su Bai stared at him for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing, "So, now you're abandoning your mother and your family for the woman in this house?"
She knew the nature of the child who had crawled out of her own belly all too well. After seeing Qian's bleeding last night, she had anticipated the current situation, but seeing his choice still left her feeling disappointed.
"No, son will not abandon his mother, nor will he abandon this family." Su Erhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the woman.
"However, Madam Qian is currently in poor health and is pregnant with her son's child. If she were to divorce and return to the Qian family, I'm afraid both of their lives would be in danger."
"It is my fault for being unfilial, but could you please, Mother, consider my years of hard work and diligence, and not disown me? Would it be alright if you simply separated me from you?"
