After dinner, Su Ruowan and Huo Shengnian prepared to say goodbye.
Old Master Su originally wanted to keep Su Ruowan a little longer, but he gave up after Su He reminded him.
Su He wanted him not to scare Su Ruowan too much. Old Master Su felt that Su Ruowan was not that timid. The reason why she reacted timidly was simply because she was not mentally prepared before. That was all.
Indeed, what he said to Su Ruowan today, although they were all from the bottom of his heart and his real thoughts, they were definitely not in his previous plans.
After seeing off Su Ruowan and Huo Shengnian, Old Master Su went into his study and chose to be alone.
Everyone in the Su family was stunned. Only Su He understood what was wrong with his grandfather. It was nothing. He just missed his grandmother and his daughter who passed away young.
Su He comforted everyone and told them to go about their own business. He would keep an eye on Grandpa.
With Su He around, everyone felt relieved. Those who lived in the old house went back to their rooms, and those who did not live in the old house also drove home.
The Su family also has a large population.
Old Mrs. Su was very fertile in her early years, giving birth to a baby almost every year.
In addition, the Su family was originally a medical family, and Old Lady Su's family grew Chinese medicine. Old Master Su fell in love with the old lady when he was an apprentice in her family.
The old man was also a poor man. He was separated from his family when he was a child and worked as a laborer in a wealthy family. Later, he met the old lady's father by chance. The old lady's maiden name was also Su.
After the old man Su brought the old man back to their Chinese medicine shop, the old man had a strong learning ability and gradually got the hang of it. In addition, he married the eldest daughter of the Su family and slowly became the owner of the Chinese medicine shop. Later, he developed the Su family into the current Su's Chinese Medicine Clinic.
He had long forgotten the old man's original surname.
In short, he was the son-in-law of the Su family, so his surname was Su.
Later, his own family never came to find him. He was calm and managed the Su family very well.
The old man and the old lady had ten children in total, and raised eight of them.
When the old man reflected on himself later, he felt that it was his fault. He probably let his wife give birth to too many children, which led to his wife's deteriorating health.
But at that time, Old Master Su was still alive. He said that the two of them had good genes and the Su family was not short of money. No matter how many children they had, the Su family could afford to raise them.
Just like that, a few years ago, the old lady got pregnant again not long after she came out of confinement. The old man kept an eye on them and did not allow them to use contraception.
If you are pregnant, let the old lady give birth to the baby.
The old lady also loves her children very much.
Of the eight surviving children, there were three daughters and five sons.
The eldest daughter, Su Wanqing, is also Fu Mingzhu's biological mother. When she gave birth to Mingzhu, she learned that Mingzhu was suffocated by the umbilical cord around her neck in the womb, and she became depressed.
Later, not long after being discharged from the hospital, she was scolded by her mother-in-law all day long, and her depression became even worse. Late one night, feeling guilty about her daughter, she jumped off the building at the Fu family's house and died.
Su Wanqing's mother-in-law is the still very powerful Mrs. Fu.
The second daughter, Su Yaqi, followed her mother's example and brought an orphan who had no parents and no ties to her family as a son-in-law. Now, the whole family serves the Su's Chinese Medicine Clinic.
The third daughter, Su Huiyan, who is also Fu Mingyue's mother, took over her eldest sister's position and is now the mistress of the Fu family.
That year, less than three months after Su Wanqing jumped off the building, Fu Qiming and his parents came to the Su family again to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts. When they said that they wanted to marry the third sister, Su Huiyan, as her eldest sister's second wife, the old lady Su almost fainted.
Old Mrs. Su has three daughters, and she believes that she has taught each of them carefully and taught them etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame since childhood. She really can't imagine why her youngest daughter would be like this?
When did she start coveting her brother-in-law?
When did she hook up with Fu Qiming?
At that time, the Fu family not only came to propose marriage, but Su Huiyan and Fu Qiming even acted first and asked for permission later. The matter was already settled. At that time, Su Huiyan was already pregnant with Fu Mingyue.
The Su family has no tradition of abortion. This is a sinful act, and since Old Master Su, the Su family has not allowed their descendants to commit such a sin.
Therefore, he had no choice but to agree to let Su Huiyan marry Fu Qiming and become her elder sister's second wife.
After Su Huiyan married into the Fu family, she rarely returned to the Su family. Even when she did, Old Man Su and Old Madam Su were always unhappy. Except for the time she returned, the two elders avoided her at other times.
After Fu Mingyue was born, Su Huiyan deliberately changed the character "Zhu" (Pearl) to "Yue" (Moon) according to the three characters "Fu Mingzhu" (Fu Mingzhu). Only then did Mrs. Su realize that her little daughter was envious and jealous of her elder sister.
As time goes by, time is the best medicine to heal pain. They have not forgotten Su Wanqing and Mingzhu who disappeared at birth, but Su Huiyan and Fu Mingyue are also children of the Su family.
The dead will eventually turn into dust, so we should cherish the living.
Even if mistakes are made, family is still family.
On the way back, Su Ruowan felt a little depressed for some reason.
She was obviously at the Su family and got along very harmoniously with the Su family.
Everyone is very nice to her.
Huo Shengnian noticed it quickly. He carefully observed Su Ruowan's mood. When they passed the first traffic light, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Huo Shengnian, what is your relationship with the Su family?"
"I have a pretty good relationship with Su He, and I've eaten at Su's house many times. At that time, Grandma Su was still around, and she loved to make sweet and sour pork ribs for me."
"Do you like sweet and sour pork ribs?" Su Ruowan raised her eyebrows. She could also cook this dish, but she didn't know if it would suit his taste.
"I'm not picky about food, Mrs. Huo."
Su Ruowan nodded, and after a moment of silence, she turned her head back and said, "Huo Shengnian, let me ask you a question. Has the Su family ever lost a child?"
“…”
Huo Shengnian was stunned for a moment, and when there was no car behind him, he gradually slowed down. Then he turned on the right turn signal and slowly approached the roadside.
Finally, they stopped in a safe temporary parking area. He looked at Su Ruowan and remembered Grandma Su's face at that time.
At that time, Grandma Su was also old and had wrinkles on her face.
Huo Shengnian didn't quite remember what young Grandma Su was like.
However, no matter how much Su Ruowan looks like Grandma Su, the Su family has never lost a child, only one stillborn baby.
If the dead baby hadn't died, she would have been his aunt when she grew up.
Huo Shengnian reached out, held Su Ruowan's hand, and slowly shook his head, "No, Wanwan, do you want to find your family? I'll help you."
Su Ruowan shook her head. "No, it was just a sudden thought. Now that you say no, I feel relieved. I also think that for a loving family like the Su family, how could they lose their own child?"
She is an abandoned baby.
The Su family is such a good family. If she was really born in such a family, she would have been spoiled like a princess. How could she be abandoned?
