At this moment, everyone in the first house was very regretful.
The red cloth was shiny and looked very valuable.
The fabric of that pair of shoes was also made of expensive brocade, and it was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.
If they had known that this new niece was so generous, they would have given her a red envelope no matter what, and maybe they could have exchanged it for a bunch of good things.
They are so jealous!
Aunt Cui Yuhong gave her husband Su Dashan a look.
Then he stood up and walked towards Shen Shuli with a smile.
He wanted to hold Shen Shuli's hand as soon as he came up, but Shen Shuli dodged him in time.
She was not embarrassed and continued to smile and said, "Niece, your uncle, your cousins and I have already prepared a gift for you. It is in the house. We will go back and get it. Wait."
After saying that, he left with his family of more than ten people.
...
...
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su had gloomy faces and wanted to stop their eldest son but were unable to speak.
The old couple knew that the eldest son was just trying to take advantage and wasn't sincere, but they still felt uncomfortable.
Soon, everyone from the first house came back with gifts.
The red envelopes are all dry and flat.
They lined up one by one to give gifts to Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli accepted all of it with a barely perceptible sneer on her face.
Then, he opened all the red envelopes in front of everyone.
Wow, most of the money in the red envelope is just a copper coin.
What’s even worse is that some of them are even stuffed with stones, and some are simply empty.
This cool move made Shen Shuli laugh.
The people in the big house didn't expect Shen Shuli to open the red envelope in front of them.
At this moment, everyone was more embarrassed than the other.
But he still licked his face, waiting for Shen Shuli to return the gift.
Seeing that he was slow to return the gift, Aunt Cui Yuhong couldn't help herself.
She licked her face and asked for it.
"Niece, you have already given gifts back to the third brother's family. It is only fair that you should give gifts back to your eldest cousins. We are all family, so we should avoid any grudges."
Shen Shuli looked at Cui Yuhong with her slit eyes, and threw the stack of red envelopes in her hand into the air, hitting her in the face.
"Are you worthy?"
"You, you, you! You bitch, how dare you humiliate me like this!" Cui Yuhong's cheeks turned red with anger, and she reached out to grab Shen Shuli's face.
Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua had been protecting their daughter on both sides. Seeing this, they immediately stood in front of their daughter and looked at Cui Yuhong coldly.
"Sister-in-law, don't embarrass yourself here. Your family should either not send it or you are humiliating someone with an empty red envelope! You even dared to attack my daughter in front of me. Do you really think that I, Su Yunhai, am dead?"
Su Yunhai didn't give his sister-in-law any face and kicked her to the ground.
No one expected Su Yunhai to take direct action. No one dared to move because of shock.
It took Su Dashan a long time to react, and he hurried to see his wife.
Seeing someone rolling on the ground in pain, he looked at Su Yunhai with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Su Dahai, how dare you kick your sister-in-law! You are so brave!"
Su Yunhai snorted coldly, and all his aura was released.
He looked at Su Dashan with disdainful eyes, which were so fat that the eyes were almost invisible.
"Why, do you want to experience the feeling of being kicked too?"
Su Dashan then remembered that his second brother had already become cruel and ruthless, and would retaliate in overt or covert ways if he did not do his bidding.
"But I'm your elder brother!" Su Dashan suppressed his anger.
"I recognize you as the one." Su Yunhai looked disdainful.
"You!!" Su Dashan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Old Man Su hurried out to smooth things over, "That's enough! Boss, send your wife back to bed."
"Second brother, even if the gift from your sister-in-law was a little less, it was still a token of your appreciation. How could you lay hands on her?"
"You are a scholar after all. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined!" Old man Su couldn't help but preach and threaten.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Su Yunhai was fed up with these people in the Su family.
He finally knew now.
These people obviously have the same appearance as his modern parents and brothers, so why are their values, values and personalities so different?
It turns out that the damn author deliberately made it disgusting.
In the past, we could give them some face because they looked exactly like our parents and brothers in our previous lives.
And now, they are just a group of paper people.
He has let it go.
"I have something important to tell you. Please sit down."
Su Yunhai took his wife and daughter to their seats and looked at the people from other rooms from afar.
The people in the other two rooms didn't say anything and just sat down silently.
Looking at the food that was almost getting cold, especially the two delicious meat dishes - roast chicken and braised pork, I wanted to eat them but didn't dare to touch them.
"My daughter brought back important news from Qingzhou."
"The Qingzhou upper class has received the exact news that the Zhenbei General has died in battle. His nine sons have also reported back the news of his death. Hanshan Pass has been breached and occupied by the Northern Barbarians."
"The northern vassal king took the opportunity to recruit soldiers wantonly, even ten-year-old children were not spared, and he also found various excuses to increase taxes. This drought is so severe that we can't grow any food, forcing the common people to have no way to survive."
"Recently, many desperate people have flowed into Qingzhou from the northern border. We will probably have a large influx of refugees soon as well. When the time comes, they will definitely steal our food and houses."
"The weather was too hot, and the temperature underground was too high. The seeds we planted were cooked directly. No matter how much water we poured on them, they wouldn't germinate. There was no harvest this year."
"The price of food outside has increased nearly tenfold. It's almost unaffordable to buy food. Even if we can afford it, there is nothing to sell. There is no way to survive if we continue to stay in the village."
"Let's not talk about other places. Here, it hasn't rained for more than half a year. The creek outside the village is almost dry. Only the last well of the three wells in the village is left, and the water output is decreasing day by day."
"I don't want to wait for my family to die after the water source dries up completely."
"I have decided to take the people from our second branch and head south to escape the famine. If you want to go too, you can come with us."
"If anyone thinks I'm talking nonsense or exaggerating, you can choose to stay here."
"Our family will leave in seven days at the latest. You can think about it for a few more days and then tell me the result."
"Okay, let's eat."
After Su Yunhai finished speaking, he didn't care how shocked the Su family was, and just picked up food for his wife and daughter to eat.
Under normal circumstances, the Su family would not eat according to Su Yunhai's mood.
The main reason was that Su Yunhai showed his power today and scared them again, so they didn't dare to take the initiative to pick up their chopsticks.
But now, everyone in the Su family, who had been hungry for a long time, was frightened after hearing what Su Yunhai said, and no one picked up their chopsticks at all.
"Second brother, are you serious?" Old man Su was so scared that his hands holding the chopsticks were shaking.
Everyone at the table looked at Su Yunhai.
Su Yunhai remained as still as a mountain, not even looking at his father, but he still replied.
"Do you think I would dare to joke about something like this? Besides, am I the kind of person who would joke with you guys?"
"Tomorrow I will go to the surrounding counties to buy some food. If you don't believe me, you can go and see what the situation is like in the city and you will know."
Seeing is believing.
Most of the grain shops in Qingyun County where they live are now closed, and the grain in the shops that are still open is not enough for the residents in the city to share. They are lucky to be able to buy grain.
Su Yunhai has been in charge of the family's food over the years. The other two families have no idea what is going on outside and are like frogs in a well.
I thought that as long as there was food at home, the weather outside would be good and the world would be peaceful.
Even though there were two rare meat dishes at this welcoming banquet, everyone found the food tasteless.
“Ding ding ding ding ding~”
Before leaving the table, the sound of gongs pounding could be heard in the village.
That was the signal from the village chief to gather the entire village, and every household needed to send at least one person to the threshing ground to discuss matters.
