Chapter 159: Another nephew
As the saying goes, "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans."
Although businessmen are rich, they have low status.
The descendants of merchant families were not even qualified to take the imperial examinations.
After hearing what Manager Li said, Old Man Su immediately understood.
It turns out that it was all for the grandson.
However, he did not expect that Jizu was such an intelligent child.
Old Man Su was full of surprise.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look up to Shopkeeper Li's actions and character.
"In-laws, then your Li family..." Old Man Su said hesitantly.
Isn't it another extinct family?
Shopkeeper Li's eyes suddenly turned red again.
Although Old Man Su didn't say it out loud, how could he not hear it?
Fortunately, I just cried out all the frustration I had been holding back for years, and I feel a little better.
"My dear relatives, don't force it. This is what our Li family has destined to be like." Shopkeeper Li said, "Isn't the purpose of life to live for future generations? As long as my children live well and have a promising future, I, Li Fugui, have nothing else to ask for."
What Manager Li said touched Old Man Su's heart.
"My dear, I can tell you're a very open-minded person. I admire you." Old Man Su said loudly, "Let's sit down and have a few drinks together today."
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Shopkeeper Li immediately said, "Okay! Let's have a good chat today."
The relationship between the two immediately became much closer.
Old Mrs. Su waved her hand and pulled Li Jizu to her side. The more she looked at the child, the more he looked like Su Sihu when he was a child.
Even though it was the fifth son who passed the imperial examination, Old Lady Su, as a mother, knew that if we only talk about intelligence, the fourth son was the smartest among her sons.
Of course, the fourth brother is the most thoughtful.
When Old Mrs. Su thought about this, she suddenly understood.
When the fourth son married into the Li family and supported the fifth son's studies, wasn't he placing all his wishes on the fifth son?
"Grandma, where is my aunt?" Li Jizu asked, "I haven't met my aunt yet."
At home, he often heard his parents talk about their little aunt, who was the most precious child in the entire Su family.
His father also told him that he must protect his aunt well in the future.
It has to be said that Su Sihu had already brainwashed his son at home.
When Mrs. Su heard her new grandson say this, she was very happy. She now had another grandson to support her little girl.
"Fourth brother, ask your brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters to come over and let Jizu recognize you." Old Lady Su said, "and tell them about your story too."
When Su Laosi heard this, he immediately went out to call for help.
Soon, Brother Su, Xiao Tangbao and others were called over.
As the head of the family, Old Man Su happily reintroduced Old Fourth Su and his family to the whole family.
It is said that since Da Pan and Er Pan went to private school, Old Man Su asked Su Wuhu to give them new names.
After all, calling them Su Dapan or Su Erpan directly seems too un-domineering.
So, Su Wuhu figured out his father's thoughts and, in the order of "bringing honor to the family", gave Da Pan and Er Pan names that particularly suited his father's wishes - Su Chengguang and Su Chengzong.
By the way, the third child was also named Su Chengyao.
Now that Li Jizu has returned to the Su family, the order has changed again.
The third child became the fourth child, and Li Jizu became Su Chengyao.
However, Su Chengyao's nickname is Zhuangzhuang, so everyone in the Su family calls him Zhuangzhuang.
Brother Su and Sister-in-law Su were very happy when they knew that Fourth Su had returned to the Su family.
Qian Yuemei curled her lips and muttered softly, "That sounds nice, huh! In my opinion, they just saw that the Su family is capable, so they want to curry favor with them!"
Mrs. Su happened to hear it.
He frowned and said, "Fourth brother and his wife are back. Dad and Mom are so happy. Second brother and his wife, please don't say such things anymore."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? What the Li family did, can't our Su family say anything?" Qian Yuemei said unconvincedly, "The Li family just saw that Erhu went to work in the county government, the fifth brother became a scholar, and the younger sister-in-law became the village head, so they wanted to take advantage of our Su family's power!"
"Otherwise, why didn't they send them back earlier or later? Now that everyone in our family has become capable, they figured it out and let the fourth brother and his family come back? They might even be thinking of dividing the Su family's property..."
The more Qian Yuemei spoke, the more she felt that what she said made sense.
As a result, I became more and more dissatisfied.
Mrs. Su's face darkened and she said, "Second brother's wife, don't forget that it was all thanks to fourth brother that fifth brother was able to study. Could it be that now that fifth brother has become capable, he will ignore fourth brother's family?"
Qian Yuemei, “…”
His expression froze.
Mrs. Su continued, "As for my second brother and my younger sister-in-law, could it be that just because my fourth brother married into the Li family, they will stop looking after him and the Li family?"
Qian Yuemei, “…”
Thinking of the relationship between the Su brothers and sisters, I immediately lost confidence.
Mrs. Su acted like the eldest sister-in-law and said in a serious tone, "Brothers live in harmony and the family is united, so that life can become more and more comfortable. Don't say those words again, second brother and sister-in-law!"
Qian Yuemei, “…”
She opened her mouth and felt increasingly suppressed by her sister-in-law.
But, I want to fight back, but I don’t know how to do it?
**
The news that Su Laosi had gone from being a live-in son-in-law to marrying a wife and bringing his son back to the Su family spread like wings to every corner of Daliushu Village.
People were talking about it, saying all sorts of things.
However, the Su family didn't care about these.
The whole family was in high spirits.
"Nephew greets his aunt." The newly emerged Su Chengyao saluted respectfully to the little Tangbao.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
He rummaged through his pocket and took out a piece of crystal candy.
"Be good, eat it." Little Tangbao handed the candy to his nephew who was taller than him.
Su Chengyao took it with both hands, "Thank you, little aunt."
Then, he obediently put it into his mouth.
The expression on the little face was still respectful.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Why do I feel that this nephew is not very lively?
"This is a gift from my nephew to my aunt." Su Chengyao took out a wooden carved kitten and presented it with both hands.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Why do I feel like I'm old when my nephew says the word "filial piety" in a serious tone?
"That's thoughtful of you." Little Tangbao had no choice but to answer seriously.
The little face is like a pink ball, trying to be serious and solemn.
Although, it didn't work.
Xiao Tangbao took the kitten and looked at it.
I have to say that the kitten was made very roughly and was obviously not made by Fourth Brother.
"Did you do this yourself?" Little Tangbao guessed.
"Yes." Su Chengyao said respectfully in a childish voice, "Gifts for elders must be made by hand to show filial piety."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
The corner of my mouth twitched and I felt a toothache.
It seems that when facing this nephew in the future, I must treat him like an elder.
Alas, I am still a baby.
Little Tangbao sighed melancholy.
"Aunt, is there anything that worries you?" Su Chengyao asked worriedly, "I am an unfilial nephew, but I am willing to share your worries."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
"Chengyao, how old are you this year?" Little Tangbao asked the heartfelt question in a soft and sweet voice.
"To answer your question, aunt, my nephew is six and a half years old this year." Su Chengyao answered seriously.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Why do I feel like you look sixty?
