Chapter 215: Calm on the Surface
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Tu Suting waved his arms angrily: "I think you are really a fool, your mind is completely lost!"
"If he really made you suffer so much, why didn't you tell me earlier? Life in the accounting office was so difficult, how did you manage to gain so much weight?"
"I've been bewitched by your evil spirit, so I'm here listening to your nonsense. Can you even utter a single word of truth?"
Tu Suye wanted to argue, but the old lady could no longer bear it and scolded him: "Shut up!"
Words and actions must be supported by evidence. We must look beyond the surface and examine the inner thoughts. However, Tu Suye has no other evidence except his eloquence.
Not only did other people not trust him, even the always biased old lady couldn't convince herself to believe him.
The more he talked, the more ridiculous it seemed. If he continued like this, it would only completely destroy the relationship between father and son, and the second house would never be able to make a comeback!
After the old lady was furious, she gradually realized that her son was indeed useless. Now all her hopes were placed on Tu Su Minfei, and she must not let him become discouraged!
She didn't dare look directly at her grandfather's stern face. She stood up nervously, her anxiety evident in her words. "I know you don't want to take on the accountant position, and I understand you're unhappy with Min Fei's restrictions, but have you ever thought deeply about why he restricts your freedom to go out?"
"Is he harming you? On the contrary, he's protecting you!"
The old lady had a deep understanding of her son's character. If she allowed him to freely enter and leave the gambling house with its bright lights and wine and women without any restrictions, she was afraid that he would indulge in alcohol and women and even bring disaster upon himself.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Tu Su Minfei's restrictions.
The old lady could no longer tolerate this and was furious at Tu Suye's absurd behavior. Her face was as gloomy as water and she gritted her teeth and scolded him, "As a father, you finally have a promising son. Not only do you not carefully train him, but you repeatedly hold him back!"
"Min Fei is more responsible than you! Yet you don't know how to reflect on yourself! Look at what you've become now! If I don't impose severe punishment according to the family rules, you'll probably never repent!"
Although the Tu Su family has declined, the family laws and rules are still as strict as before.
Tu Suye had already suffered a severe beating today. If he angered his grandfather again and activated the family law, he would probably lose at least half his life today.
The old lady was extremely anxious, fearing that he would not understand her meaning. She glared at him fiercely, her teeth chattering. "Foolish thing! Go kneel down and admit your fault to your father immediately!"
Tu Suye still refused to give in, and even showed a hint of unyieldingness on his face.
The old grandfather stared for a long time and smiled self-deprecatingly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and only the coldness remained on his face.
"I know you are dissatisfied, but this family has no room for you."
Regardless of how much truth there was in the grievances and resentments he spoke of, just based on his current impetuous, irritable and noisy state, in order to avoid greater disputes, the old grandfather would not be able to keep him around even if he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Tu Suye stumbled and fell to the ground, his face as pale as paper. "Grandfather... that evil creature was born from me! Are you really going to stand by and watch him ride on my neck and wreak havoc?!"
"If it were ten years ago, I would have made you disappear right now! I wouldn't tolerate you making such a fuss in front of me!"
The old grandfather suddenly roared, shaking the old lady from head to toe. Tu Suye, whose face was full of resentment, was also shocked and shook violently.
The old grandfather glanced at him expressionlessly, his tone extremely cold: "Either I break your legs today, make you swallow a mute potion, and stay bedridden from now on, supported by everyone; or you honestly curb your noisy heart and return to your accounting post in two days."
"Make your own decision." "It's really annoying that such a commotion has occurred so quickly at the end of the year."
Tu Suting muttered in a low voice with some anger, but before he could complain more, he was hurriedly pulled out of the main hall by Li, and Xi Lanfang followed closely behind.
The old grandfather seemed unable to bear the old lady's resentment and walked out of the house with a gloomy face.
Next to the stove, Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo were still continuing their previous work.
The old grandfather was severely punishing his son, and as younger generations, they were reluctant to be present so as not to embarrass their elders.
Although Tu Suye no longer has any face in this family, he still needs to be careful about where to avoid suspicion.
Gu Yuexuan pretended to know nothing and called softly, "Grandfather."
The old grandfather closed his eyes and responded, "Hmm."
"Bo'er, come out with me."
Tu Subo paused slightly in kneading the meatballs, then washed his hands and followed out.
Outside Tu Su's house, the snow had not yet melted, covering the entire ground. The sky, which had been gloomy for days, finally showed a hint of clearness, and what came with the wind were tiny snowflakes.
Snowflakes fell again.
The old grandfather gazed deeply at the swirling and falling snowflakes and said in a heavy voice, "How true do you think your uncle's words are?"
If possible, the old grandfather really didn't want to discuss such topics with Tu Subo.
However, in the entire Tu Su family, there is no need to say much about those who are biased towards the old lady. Tu Su Ting is simple-minded and finds it difficult to think deeply even if given the opportunity. Several daughters-in-law are either in distress or weak in temperament and lack thinking. The only one who can listen to the teachings of the grandfather is Tu Subo.
Maybe there is also a Tu Su Min Fei.
The old grandfather's mind was filled with Tu Suye's accusations, and he was filled with mixed emotions. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry when he said, "You helped your second uncle and Min Fei find their current jobs. Why did you choose to work in the gambling house?"
"What do you think?"
The words were clear enough, and if Tu Suboro continued to pretend not to know, it would seem a bit hypocritical.
He knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so he said vaguely, "Grandfather, what do you think is wrong with the current situation?"
"At home, my second uncle is always on the verge of taking my second aunt's life, and the family has no peace. He's out there with Tu Su Min Fei, enjoying delicious food and fine wine without suffering any hardship. Although he's less free to do as he pleases, at least his life is safe and his life is stable. What's wrong with this arrangement?"
The old grandfather looked at him without saying a word, but Tu Subo smiled calmly and composedly.
"If my uncle is mentally deficient or lacks any ability due to age or ignorance, I will support him without complaint."
"But will Second Uncle be willing to accept such a fate?"
The situation at home appears calm on the surface, but maintaining this stability depends on the full efforts of everyone who is able to contribute.
Is Tu Suye such a giver?
He is not like that.
Laziness can be tolerated, cunningness can be tolerated, but someone with evil intentions who only expresses evil within himself cannot exist in this calm environment.
Tu Subo was unwilling to bear this bad reputation.
Tu Su Minfei stepped forward and took all the blame on his own. He felt that this was a wise choice.
Although he did not say it directly, his intention was obvious in his words.
