Chapter 177: Who says you can’t compete with your own brother?
Xuanyuan Jin looked back at Su Laosi, and a series of sparks instantly appeared in the air.
Seeing this, Zhao Wu gave his young master a sympathetic look.
He is your real brother, you, as his "brother", can't compete with him.
"Dad, this silver is..." Su Laosi looked at the silver ingots in the basket and asked in confusion.
"Oh, these are some radishes, no, ginseng, your sister dug up in the mountains." Old Man Su tried to speak casually, "She just exchanged them for some silver and is thinking of buying you a house in town."
Little did he know that as soon as he saw the silver in the basket, his heart started beating wildly.
He himself did not expect that two wild ginsengs could be sold for more than three hundred taels of silver.
This money is more than enough to buy a house in town.
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he glanced at the sparkling gold ingots in the basket with a smile, and forced himself not to put the basket back into his arms.
Su Laosi, "..."
Why does Dad sound so casual?
Moreover, he almost mistook ginseng for radish.
But, he is a son after all.
When Su Laosi took a closer look, he noticed that his father's expression was strange.
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
This is not casual at all, it's clearly showing off!
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Shopkeeper Li was dumbfounded.
It turns out that in the eyes of the in-laws, digging ginseng is just like digging radish, which can be easily found.
Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but look at Xiao Tangbao.
Isn’t this little girl so lucky?
No wonder people look down on our family's wealth.
Who knows, someone could just dig out a ginseng by shoveling some soil in the mountains.
Shopkeeper Li was both shocked and envious.
I have to say that Old Man Su's appearance really scared Manager Li.
Little Tangbao had already seen the desire to show off from his father's expression.
I couldn't help but smile.
She knew that her father was happy to show off in front of Manager Li because of his fourth brother's marriage.
but--
"Dad, Mom said that wealth should not be shown off. We showed too much today." Little Tangbao reminded like a little adult.
Old Man Su, “…”
My head cleared up instantly.
What did he say when he came in?
It seems like...we have plenty of money at home!
Su Xiaoliu also remembered the sentence - our family has plenty of money!
"Dad, what should we do?" Su Xiaoliu asked worriedly, "Is there anyone trying to steal our silver?"
Old Man Su said, "... Dad will ask who has a dog later, so we can get a big wolf dog to guard the house."
After saying that, he looked at Shopkeeper Li and said, "My dear relative, you must keep the matter of this ginseng a secret."
The matter of the silver has been revealed, and the matter of the ginseng cannot be leaked out again and become known to everyone.
"Of course, of course." Shopkeeper Li said quickly.
After saying that, he looked at a guy in the store.
"Did you hear that? Stop talking so much!"
The clerk immediately rubbed his ears and shouted, "Boss, what did you say? My hearing is bad today, I can't hear anything clearly. Did you say anything just now?"
Shopkeeper Li, “…No!”
Little Tangbao squinted his big eyes and glanced at the boy.
The boy was not very old, about fifteen or sixteen, but he looked very smart.
"Old Four, there's no need to hesitate. Come with me to the town's pawnshop and ask if there are any houses for sale?" Old Man Su said hurriedly.
Since you have enough money, buy the house immediately to prevent your son from being squeezed out!
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Shopkeeper Li showed a strange expression on his face and asked hesitantly, "My dear, do you really want to buy a house in town?"
Old Man Su said as a matter of course: "Of course."
"Then..." Shopkeeper Li looked at Su Sihu, then at Li Shuying, with a trace of loneliness on his face.
If their daughter and her family move out, what’s the point of living at home with only the two of them left?
He can't count on having many children and grandchildren, but having his daughter and her family around him can be some comfort, right?
Although my son-in-law and his family have moved their registered residence back to the Su family, they still live in their own home and don’t notice anything.
But if I move out...
When Manager Li thought of the lonely atmosphere at home, his eyes turned red.
Then, he took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the corners of Old Man Su's eyes.
He no longer had the tough attitude he had just shown when he angrily confronted the Li family.
Old Man Su, “…”
Why are you crying again?
"No, relative, what are you doing..." Old man Su said at a loss.
"My dear relatives, my life is so miserable..." Shopkeeper Li pressed his eyes and said sadly, "I don't have a son, and now even my daughter and son-in-law are moving out. It's just the two of us left at home. What's the point of living like this?"
Old man Su's sympathy immediately overflowed.
"Don't worry, my dear relatives. Even if they move out, they must come back to visit you often..."
"Then can we let them go back and stay for a few days from time to time?" Shopkeeper Li immediately stopped pressing his eyes and asked eagerly.
"Of course! You can let them stay as long as you want!" Old Man Su patted his chest, "They can live in either house however they like."
In short, they have a house in town, so their son won't be the target of gossip.
As for living at one's parents-in-law's house from time to time to fulfill one's filial piety, there is nothing wrong with that.
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Shopkeeper Li was very touched. He shook Old Man Su's hand and said, "My dear relative, I feel relieved when you say that. I, Li Fugui, am really blessed in my previous life to have met such a reasonable relative like you..."
Old Man Su's face flushed with praise, and he laughed heartily and said, "My dear relative, you are too polite. We are not outsiders. Although the fourth son has returned to the Su family, he is still your half-son. He must take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. If he is not filial to you, I will not forgive him!"
"My dear... my dear, you are so..." Shopkeeper Li was almost choked with emotion. He held Old Man Su's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
She felt that if her own father was sold out by her fourth sister-in-law's father one day, it would not be surprising at all.
Even without my own father, he would still be there to help cheer me on and count the money.
However, the fourth sister-in-law's father was willing to let the fourth sister-in-law and her family return to the Su family for Chengyao's future, which shows that his character is still reliable.
"My dear relatives, I have an acquaintance at the pawnshop in town. I can take you there." Shopkeeper Li said enthusiastically, still not letting go of Old Man Su's hand.
We must keep in touch with such wealthy and understanding relatives.
"Haha...Okay, then I'll trouble you, my in-laws." Old man Su said with a laugh.
As the group talked, they walked out of the store.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the little Tangbao held by Su Laosi and asked, "Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Are you hot? There is ice in the carriage, and the hawthorn water has been kept cold in the ice..."
Before Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, Xiao Tangbao swallowed his dry throat.
How happy it is to be able to drink a small bowl of cool hawthorn water now?
"Yes, let's take a carriage." Little Tangbao immediately blinked his bright big eyes and betrayed his fourth brother.
