Chapter 55: Treating others as fools!
"It was I who was so reckless. You are my cousin's wife, right? I am Su Cheng, the head of the Su family." The visitor suppressed the displeasure that flashed in his eyes, took a step back and bowed formally. He looked past the old woman blocking the door and looked into the courtyard. He raised his voice, "Xiangzi, do you still remember me? Your cousin Cheng!"
Old Man Su stood in the yard, looking a little bewildered. "...Cousin Cheng?"
Su Cheng immediately said happily, "It's me! It seems you still remember! We're family, can we go in and talk?"
The exact opposite of his joy.
When the other members of the Su family heard that the visitor was from the main clan, their expressions changed, they gritted their teeth, and sneered.
Su Er, who was rather impulsive, directly took a piece of firewood from the kitchen and used it as a weapon. He sneered at the person standing outside the door, "Main clan of the Su family? You still have the nerve to come to my door! It would be fine if you didn't show up, but the moment I see you, I want to beat you up!"
Old Lady Su had already started pushing the man who wanted to enter the courtyard out, her face icy cold. "You are not welcome in my Su Family Courtyard. What master clan? Bah!"
Although the others did not take action, they all watched coldly.
Even Old Man Su turned his head away.
Seeing this, Su Cheng became anxious and his face darkened. "What are you doing? The Su family should be united as one family! Besides, respect for the elders has always been a rule. How can you be so arrogant and unreasonable? Xiangzi, say something!"
Old Man Su said calmly, "I can't make the decision. I listen to my wife."
"You are a man, but you are not strong enough to be a husband—"
"Listen to my wife."
"you--"
Old Lady Su slapped him, knocking away the look of disappointment on Su Cheng's face. She said coldly, "You control everything in the world, and now you're meddling in other people's families? Respect for the elderly and the young depends on the person! When you were on the rise, you didn't think of us poor distant relatives, but now that you're down, you come to play tricks on us! Go back and tell the head of the Su family, what branch of the main clan? I'm making this clear today, I don't recognize any of my Su Xiang family! I'm just a country woman, don't talk to me about doctrine and etiquette! From now on, you walk your own path, and we walk our own! We have nothing to do with each other! Get out now! There's no need to use morality to pressure my Su family. If you were moral, you wouldn't have fallen to this point! Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll spank you!"
Su Da and Su Er came up behind my mother at the right time to support her. "Good job, Mom! What good intentions can you have by coming to our house at this time? It's like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken!"
The main member of the Su family was exiled, and nine clans were held responsible. How could those in the main family not know how many relatives were implicated?
However, it has been several months since we came to the exile place, and the main tribe has never shown up.
Now that the Su family's life is getting better and their roots are firmly established, they have started to come to their door!
Treating others as fools!
Su Cheng was stunned by the slap. It took him a while to react. He covered half of his burning face with his hands and said in disbelief, "You, you actually dared to hit me? Su Xiang! And you didn't say a word?!"
Upon hearing this, the mother and her two daughters who were blocking the gate of the courtyard pretended to raise their hands to hit him, which scared Su Cheng so much that he took several steps back, looking very embarrassed.
Old Man Su turned his face away, pretending not to see it. He uttered a cry, turned around, and picked up his little granddaughter who had crawled to his feet. "Tianbao, why did you crawl here? Fortunately, Grandpa has sharp eyes, otherwise I would have stepped on you!"
Being picked up by Grandpa, Tianbao's vision was also higher. He aimed at the old man outside the house with an angry face, waved his little hand with great momentum, "Yi! Da!"
Master, beat me!
"Ahem!" Old Man Su suppressed a laugh and whispered in his granddaughter's ear, "Baby, Grandpa can't hit him. If he hits him, our whole family will be in the wrong. Let Grandma, your father, and your second uncle teach him a lesson. When people outside start talking about it, Grandpa can just pretend to scold us and get away with it, okay?"
I will slowly teach my granddaughter this kind of worldly truth when she grows up.
Just as being unfilial will be criticized and affect one's future, the same is true of the class status among the branches of the main clan.
So make it look nicer.
As long as he, the head of the family, does not take action, he cannot be accused of worldly mistakes.
As for the wife and children who have fought, isn't it because they are ignorant? Just close the door and discipline them.
Once the door is closed, who knows whether there is a pipe or a rope behind it?
Tianbao seemed to understand, but couldn't quite grasp that grandpa couldn't do it, but others could.
So Tianbao took action.
When the old woman of the Su family was still hesitating whether to grab a weapon and chase the man out of the door to drive him away, a rain of stones suddenly fell at the gate of the courtyard and hit Su Cheng on the head.
"Ah! Ouch! Who, who hit me?! Ridiculous! How crude! Ouch!"
The mother and her two daughters all stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths half open, their expressions dull, "..."
They were only three or two steps away from Su Cheng.
Such a dense rain of stones fell from the sky, but not a single stone hit them.
The three young women behind the door were so surprised that they pinched their thighs to barely hold back their laughter and cheers.
The master has taken action!
It feels so good and relieves my anger!
The three kids couldn't help themselves and ran to the door, leaning against the door frame to watch the fun, clapping their hands and saying, "Grandpa and Grandma! He's running like the dog that used to be chased in the village!"
The Su family members, "..."
"puff!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Old Mrs. Su laughed until tears came out. After Su Cheng ran out of sight, she closed the courtyard door, turned around and picked up her little granddaughter who was also giggling, "It was a great man who helped us drive away the dog! Eldest and second sons, bring your wives and children over here, Xiu'er too! Bow outside! The great man is noble, but we can't be ungrateful!"
Su Da and Su Er shouted, "Here we come!"
Tianbao's smile froze.
Don’t come here anymore?
After thanking the benefactor, the whole family gathered together while it was still early, and figured out the reason why the master suddenly sent someone to their house.
"Their family is a tenant farmer, working for others on the hill over there. Logically, they should be busy every day. It doesn't make sense for them to come here at this time. Tu Nan Mountain is not that close to us." Su Dadao.
He heard about the Su Liang clan being tenant farmers when he first came to Tubei Mountain from people nearby.
Su Er also said, "Being a tenant farmer is almost like being a slave, it's very hard work. Now that he suddenly comes to our house, there must be a reason."
Su Xiuer snorted, "Of course there must be a reason. If they really wanted to renew our family's relationship, why didn't they show up when our family was in the most difficult time?"
Mrs. Su and Mr. Su looked at each other. "That side of Tunan Mountain is the territory of the Twelve Piers. I guess those people haven't given up and are still targeting our house."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a brief silence in the house.
The Twelve Piers didn't dare to come because they were afraid of the masters who had been helping their family behind the scenes. Plus, there was now a Master Broken Blade who could wield a big knife in the family... So the Twelve Piers didn't dare to use a hard approach and started to use a soft approach!
"Just wait and see, it won't be long before the Su family comes knocking on our door!" He Daxiang said hatefully.
How can I not hate it?
In the past, although they lived a hard life in Dahuai Village, they were happy and at least stable.
Once their entire family was implicated and exiled, they endured countless hardships and encountered countless dangers. Only they themselves knew the bitterness and hardship they experienced.
What’s even more hateful is that from now on, their children and their descendants will never be able to make a name for themselves!
