Chapter 35: It’s such a huge loss!
There was a melee at the gate of the Su family compound, and the family members killed each other.
The scene was quite spectacular.
Su Da was the target of a group beating in this melee.
The ace life-saving talisman was snatched away at some point and fell into Su Xiu'er's hands. The young woman immediately left the scene as soon as she hugged her niece and stood in a safe area to watch. "Dad, Mom, beat him harder! He made a mistake and dared to avoid punishment! His crime is even more serious!"
Su Er, "Xiu'er is absolutely right! Beat him! Beat him hard!"
He Daxiang said, "Dad, that board isn't working for you. Come on, let's use a small stick! Every stick will leave a mark!"
Liu Yuelan, "You deserve to be killed! You sneaked away without saying a word, and even took Tianbao with you! I should beat you up so you won't do that again!"
Old Man Su said, "Old woman, if you are tired, just take a rest. I will continue to teach this brat a lesson!"
Old Lady Su panted heavily, "I'm not tired! I can beat him another three hundred times!"
The three little guys were clinging to the gate, their eyes wide open and bright, "Wow!"
Su Da burst into tears.
Not far behind, at the entrance to the Huo family's courtyard, Mrs. Huo sat on a stool, cracking melon seeds while watching the fun and making sarcastic remarks. "Why are you hiding? Why are you running? Stand firm and take the beating. If you can't bear it anymore and need help, just let me know and I can help you. Your life is very valuable. Your family came to me and gave me all their belongings!"
“…”
This was like adding salt to Su Da's wound.
Farther away, many people in tattered clothes and with a gloomy air were looking at this side quietly.
That group of people had long been worn out by the dark life, living in a numb and gloomy state.
They hadn't seen or felt such a lively and vibrant scene for a long time.
At the foot of Tubei Mountain, it is always dead and gloomy.
This is not only the case in Tubei Mountain, but also in most places of exile.
So when you occasionally see this kind of excitement, it seems rare and makes you linger a little.
"It's the new family, I think their surname is Su. Their house is really lively..."
"You only have the energy to be lively now. If you wait for a long time, you will become like us."
"Yeah, after coming here, people like us who have no ability can only live like dogs if we want to survive."
"They actually dared to deal with Madam Huo. Even if they are incompetent, they are still better than us."
"Whether they are strong or not is their business. We have no say in it. Don't bother looking at them. Let's go back."
"Well... no one would care about people like us..."
The Su family brawl ended, and the foot of Tubei Mountain returned to peace and silence as usual.
Liu Yuelan closed the gate and didn't even look at the miserable man. The couple had been loving and harmonious for many years, and this was the first time she had shown a cold face to the man.
Su Da knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to say a word and limped along behind trying to please them.
In the main room, the people who had just had enough fun beating each other were sitting around. When they saw Su Da coming in, they all looked unhappy.
Knowing that his family was still angry, Su Da made a bitter face and squatted in front of the old woman at the door of the small room with his head drooped. "Mom, if you are still angry, then you can continue to beat me. I was wrong today. You can beat me or scold me if you want. Just don't get angry at yourself, okay?"
Old Mrs. Su held her granddaughter Tianbao in her arms, turned her face away and said nothing, but tears burst out of her eyes.
Su Da was so scared that he felt guilty and blamed himself, and he raised his hand to slap himself in the face.
The others remained silent.
Old Lady Su wiped her tears, slapped away Su Da's hand that was hitting her, glared at her with red eyes, choked with sobs and cursed, "I understand that you are worried about your family, we are all worried, but time passes slowly, and solutions must be found slowly! You rushed to Fengyun City blindly like this, and took Tianbao with you! If you and your father got into trouble there - how would you let your mother live?! Ah? How would you let your mother live!"
The woman's curses were sharp and shrill, and every word was filled with tears.
Su Da's mouth was full of bitterness, knowing that he had caused his parents and family members to worry. No matter how many excuses he had, it was wrong.
If Mr. and Mrs. Huo had not arrived in time today, he might not have been able to come back.
If he died, what would happen to Tianbao, a baby who couldn't even sit steadily?
Su Da didn't dare to think about it.
He knelt in front of the old woman, lowered his head, and tears fell in shame.
"Ahem! Mother... Look, I've been beaten, and I've almost let out some of my anger... I guess the boss also suffered a lot when he went to Fengyun City. Why don't you let him get up first, and we can talk slowly?" Su Er coughed lightly and pleaded carefully.
When he beat the boss just now, he hit his legs several times. Seeing that the boss was limping when walking, he must be in a lot of pain. If he keeps kneeling like this, he might as well break his legs.
"Shut up! Don't think you can get away with pretending to be innocent!" Old Man Su, who was sitting on the other side, said sternly, "Second Brother Su, you're also an accomplice!"
Su Er, "..." He shouldn't have said so much.
After scolding the second son, Old Man Su scowled at the eldest son, who was still kneeling there urinating. "And you, the main culprit! Do you know how scared your mother was when she found out you went to Fengyun City? And Yuelan, she's half dead! Don't think you can get over it by shedding a few tears! Go sit over there, ahem! Eat first! You've been busy all day, and the whole family has no appetite. You and the kids will be starving too!"
The others' mouths twitched.
While his mother wasn't paying attention, Su Laoer secretly gave his father a thumbs up.
The older the ginger, the spiciest it is; the stronger the father is.
Boss, you don’t have to kneel anymore.
By the time the meal was over, the matter was almost over.
As soon as her father gave the order, He Daxiang immediately dragged Liu Yuelan and Su Xiuer to the kitchen to cook. As long as they moved quickly, her mother-in-law would not have a chance to express her objection.
How could Old Mrs. Su not know what her daughter-in-law and daughter were thinking? She was just afraid that they would continue to punish the eldest daughter.
The old woman snorted, hugged her granddaughter close to her heart, her eyes full of heartache, "Your father is unreliable. He actually brought you to a dangerous place. Grandma's little sweet baby, you must be scared, right?"
Tianbao opened his dark eyes and nodded vigorously.
The old woman immediately looked up and glared at the unreliable man.
"..."Su Da's mouth twitched wildly.
No, that's not right!
After leaving the city, he took a special look at his daughter, and she didn't look frightened at all!
Why now——
Su Da came to his senses and was in disbelief. He wanted to be angry but couldn't, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
My daughter is telling on him!
Tianbao turned her head away proudly in the face of her father's silently accusing gaze.
She did not forget that her father used her as a shield at the gate of the yard just now.
The little kid acted as a smoothing agent, and the atmosphere in the main room seemed to ease.
Su Da also mustered up the courage to speak again, "Dad, Mom, I brought back three bags of vegetable seeds, we can plant vegetables now!"
Old Lady Su chuckled, "There are three dried rabbits missing from the kitchen. Did you exchange them for seeds?"
Su Da nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face. "Yes, I exchanged it. The price seems high at first glance, but we can keep our own vegetable seeds in the future. Dad, Mom, it's not a loss if you calculate it carefully."
Su Er covered his face, unable to bear watching. "Brother, my parents used ginseng as a reward to ask the Huo family for help. Three bags of vegetable seeds cost us three dried rabbits and one ginseng."
Not a loss?
It’s such a huge loss!
When Su Da heard this, his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
