"What are you eating?" Su Xinzhi's voice suddenly sounded, with a questioning tone.
Hearing this, his younger brother Su Xinguang shuddered and nervously reached out to cover his clothes, trying to hide the things hidden underneath more tightly. Seeing this, Su Xinzhi became more and more certain in his heart that there must be something hidden under their clothes!
Old Man Su, Old Lady Su and others were attracted by Su Xinzhi's shouting, and they all turned their eyes to the Su Xinyang brothers.
Su Xinzhi pointed at them without hesitation, turned to his grandparents and said, "Grandpa, grandma, they have food hidden under their clothes!"
The adults obviously didn't believe it and stared at the Su Xinyang brothers with puzzled eyes.
Su Xinyang's face changed slightly, and he seemed a little nervous, but he still tried to remain calm and explained, "Brother Zhi must have been dazzled. We didn't hide any food."
Su Xinguang also quickly echoed: "Brother Azhi must be so hungry that he is dizzy and has the illusion that we have food."
Seeing that they refused to admit it, Su Xinzhi became so angry that his face turned red. He argued anxiously: "I didn't see it wrong! They hid the food, I saw it with my own eyes!"
As he spoke, he wanted to go forward and lift up the two men's clothes to find evidence, but the two brothers dodged him.
Old man Su's cloudy eyes were shining with brilliance as his gaze swept back and forth over his three grandsons, finally settling on the hands of the Su Xinyang brothers, who were tightly grasping his sleeves.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered in a tone that did not allow for argument: "Take the things out."
Su Xinzhi was overjoyed to see that his grandfather believed in him. He immediately raised his chin, looking very proud and arrogant. With his grandfather's support, he shouted to Su Xinyang and his brother without hesitation: "Hand over the things quickly! Don't dawdle!"
"Hmph, why bother with them!" The second son of the second house, Su Xinyong, was even more decisive and went straight to snatch it. Seeing Su Xinyong's move, the other two brothers were not to be outdone and joined in the fight.
The five adults standing by, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent and aloof.
In Mrs. Lu's eyes, this matter had nothing to do with her. Even if there was any treasure, it would never be her turn to intervene. For the couple of the second house, as long as it was something that their son had snatched, it would naturally belong to them.
Facing the three brothers from the second house, the Su Xinyang brothers gritted their teeth and desperately used their hands to protect the treasures in their arms, shouting: "Let go! Go away! We found these things with our own hard work, why should we give them to you!"
However, the two were ultimately defeated, and all the Tuoshang grass was snatched away by the three brothers from the second house.
The Su Xinyang brothers looked at them with grief and anger.
The three Su Xinzhi brothers handed the things to the old man Su and his wife as if they were presenting a treasure, "Grandpa, grandma, look. They hid food, so I said they hid food in their pockets."
Several adults stared at the plants with suspicion, and the same thought flashed through their minds: "Can this thing really be eaten?"
Old Man Su frowned even more, and looked at it carefully for a long time. He felt that this thing seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.
He turned to look at Su Xinyang and asked sternly, "What on earth is this?"
Su Xinyang avoided looking at him and stammered, "This... this... is just some ordinary weeds. We thought they looked fresh and tender, so... so we just picked some to fill our stomachs."
Seeing this, Old Man Su narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness. He locked his eyes tightly on his grandson's wandering gaze, knowing very well in his heart - the child was obviously not telling the truth.
He shifted his gaze to Su Xinguang again and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoguang, tell Grandpa, what is this?"
When Su Xinguang was asked this by his grandfather, he was immediately panicked and opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Seeing this, Old Lady Su cursed inwardly, "What a pair of ungrateful bastards! They didn't even know how to share the food they found, and they even secretly ate it all by themselves!"
"I don't know either." Su Xinguang took a long time to squeeze out these words from between his teeth.
Without saying anything, Old Lady Su raised her hand and slapped Su Xinguang hard on the back of his head, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Su Xinguang grimaced in pain, but still shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
Su Xinyang, who was standing by, quickly pulled his brother behind him to protect him, and explained to Grandma Su, "Grandma, please don't hit my brother. We really don't know what this is. We just saw someone picking this in the woods to eat, and we were curious, so we picked some to fill our stomachs."
Old Mrs. Su snorted coldly. She naturally believed their words. In her opinion, these two children did not have the courage to lie to them.
Old Man Su said to the two of them with a serious face: "If you see something like this in the future, you must tell us immediately, understand?"
The two brothers lowered their heads obediently.
While they were talking, Su Xinzhi secretly picked up a stick and put it in his mouth, chewing it. He was already very hungry, and now that he had something to eat, he didn't care about anything else.
Li couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
"Mom, the first bite has a hint of grass, and then there's a hint of sweetness. It's delicious."
The other two boys from the second room, seeing that their brother had started eating, immediately stuffed a handful of Tuosan grass into their mouths, fearing that it would be gone soon.
The second son of the second wife said happily: "It's delicious, delicious, better than that bitter vegetable."
The younger son didn't say anything and just kept stuffing food into his mouth.
The two elders of the Su family could no longer sit still and took all the Tuoshang grass from the arms of those boys.
"Grandpa, I'm not full yet." Su Xinzhi shouted dissatisfiedly.
Su Xiaoyong, who was sitting next to her, looked at his mother's expression and knew everything in his heart - she had no intention of sharing any with them!
At this, Su Xiaoyong was unhappy and immediately shouted: "Mom, please give us a taste too, so that we can also experience what it tastes like!"
"Where did you get so much food for you?" Old Mrs. Su glared at her second son fiercely, but since he was her only son after all, she took out a stick from her bosom and handed it to him.
The two daughters-in-law could only watch their parents-in-law, drooling with envy, but Old Mrs. Su pretended not to see them at all. She didn't even glance at them and simply chose to turn a blind eye.
Finally, it was Old Man Su who spoke up, "Old woman, go get some water, pick some and put them in the pot to boil, and share them with everyone else."
