Chapter 274: Interrogating the Son
Old Man Su looked at his fifth son and said in a deep voice, "Fifth son, come with me!"
"What's the matter, Dad? Can we talk later? I need to go over and check on Sister Sanni's injuries..."
Old Man Su turned around and glared at his son before he finished speaking.
Su Laowu, "..."
He closed his mouth in confusion.
What happened to his father?
Looking at his eyes, why does it look like he has done something unforgivable?
Old Man Su walked to a deserted place and stopped.
"What's the matter, Dad?"
"What's going on between you and Sanni?"
Old man Su adopted an interrogation posture.
Su Laowu was puzzled.
"Dad, what do you mean, what's going on between me and Sanni?"
Old Man Su, “…”
Look at my son.
The son's eyes were clear and his face was full of confusion.
Old Man Su suddenly didn't know how to ask.
"That's right, does Sanni like you? No, that's not right... do you like Sanni? That's not right... did you two do that..." Old man Su tried hard to organize his words.
"Dad! What are you talking about?!" Su Laowu said in shock: "How could Sister Sanni like me? No! How could I like Sister Sanni? No, no, there is nothing between us..."
Su Laowu didn't know how to explain it.
"Oh! Dad, when I was a kid, my sister Sanni always followed me around to play, calling me brother all the time. We didn't have any younger sisters, so I treated her as my own and played with her for a few years. Later, when I went to town, I rarely ran into her anymore..."
How could his father have such random thoughts?
Wouldn't this bring bad reputation to Sister Sanni?
Old Man Su, “…”
After thinking about it, I seemed to remember that when my son was a child, the little girl from the Qian family would run around and play behind my son all day long.
Later, when his son was ten years old, he went to the town to be an apprentice.
He rarely went home and was never seen playing with that little girl again.
It seems that the son really doesn't care about the girl from the Qian family.
As for the girl from the Qian family...
"Old Fifth, tell me honestly, have you ever done anything wrong to that girl Sanni? Have you ever lied to that girl?" Old Man Su asked again.
"Of course not!" Su Laowu was almost speechless.
Why would his father think that?
Is he that kind of person?
"Dad, you are insulting your son's dignity!" Su Laowu said in a strong voice, "How could I, a man, do such a despicable thing? You are not only insulting my son, but also insulting yourself! I am your son, how could you think of me as such a heartless person? As the saints said..."
"Okay, okay, Dad was wrong..."
When Old Man Su heard that his son was going to give a long speech showing off his knowledge, he quickly gave up.
"Um, don't you want to see Sanni's injuries? Go quickly. Oh, and take this money with you. Don't forget to pay for her medical expenses."
As Old Man Su spoke, he took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to his son.
"I'll ask your mother to catch two old hens and send them to the Qian family later..."
As Old Man Su spoke, he turned and left.
Su Laowu looked at his father's back and felt very regretful that he did not take the opportunity to recite the text and review his lessons.

Qian Yuemei returned to her parents' home as if she was riding on a whirlwind, and started shouting as soon as she entered the yard.
"Mom, great news! It's really great news..."
"What's wrong? Slow down! Be careful!"
Her mother, Wang, was weaving a winnowing basket in the yard.
Seeing Qian Yuemei running in a hurry, I was shocked.
This girl is always frightened, fortunately she is strong.
If the baby is weak and unstable, I am afraid that no matter how many babies are born, they will not be able to survive.
"Mom, why are you still making this stuff up? Just wait and enjoy your retirement in the future!" Qian Yuemei said with a smile.
After saying that, she snatched the half-woven winnowing basket from her mother's hand and threw it aside.
Wang, “…”
What's wrong with this girl again?
"Mom, let me tell you, our Sanni is really amazing!"
Qian Yuemei sat down on a small stool and sighed mysteriously.
"Although his vision isn't as good as mine, it's not bad either. After all, there's no one in our area who can match my vision."
Wang looked at her daughter's smug look, and then thought about the life of the Su family and her son-in-law Su Erhu, and was speechless to refute.
After all, it was my daughter who insisted on marrying into the Su family.
"What happened to Sanni? Your second aunt told her another story the other day. She wasn't very old, just 22 years old. She injured her arm while hunting in the mountains..."
"Mom! What kind of idiot is this?" Qian Yuemei interrupted Wang with a look of disgust. "Just send him to a cool place! How can a bachelor like that be worthy of our Sanni?"
Wang, “…”
Why do I feel like my daughter has something else to say?
"Could it be that... you have something good and complete to introduce to Sanni?" Wang asked with some doubt.
"Mother, why do you need me?" Qian Yuemei raised her voice, her face full of joy, and said in a particularly loud voice: "Our Sanni has come home for you by herself!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Wang's heart moved, and her voice became a little anxious.
Could it be that Sanni...
Qian Yuemei tsked her lips and said, "Mom, do you know the big house at the entrance of the village?"
"Of course I know." Wang nodded.
Isn't this nonsense!
Is there anyone in the whole village who doesn’t know about that big house?
"Then do you know that there's a big black guy in the mansion? Let me tell you, our Sanni and that big black guy..."
Qian Yuemei began to describe what had just happened in a vivid and lively manner.
The more Wang listened, the wider her eyes opened.
"Is what you said true? Is this a complete one? No arms or legs missing?" Wang asked in disbelief.
"Mom, look at what you said. Can a person with missing limbs work in a big house?" Qian Yuemei said dissatisfiedly.
"Then... why did he fall for Sanni? And even agreed to marry into her family?" Wang still found it unbelievable.
"Oh, he said Sanni had seen his body and wanted Sanni to take responsibility."
"What?!" Wang shouted in a rare high-pitched voice.
Qian Yuemei was shocked.
"Mom, please be quiet. Don't scare the baby in my belly."
Wang could no longer sit still.
"Could it be that Sanni did...something immoral?" Wang murmured.
"Mom, don't make such a fuss." Qian Yuemei said indifferently, "No matter what Sanni did, as long as the two of them get married, there will be no problem. Others can only be jealous."
Wang, “…”
That's true.
While Wang was thinking, she unconsciously picked up the half-woven winnowing basket again.
She usually makes some money by weaving winnowing baskets and selling them to supplement the family income.
"Mom, didn't I tell you that you don't need to make these things up and sell them anymore?"
Qian Yuemei once again snatched half of the winnowing basket from her mother.
"Don't forget, not only does she not want a betrothal gift, she also brings a dowry of over 200 taels of silver, which is enough for you to enjoy a peaceful life."
Sanni, this silly girl, got both money and love as soon as she got married.
It’s true that fools have good luck!
"No! I just don't think this is true!" Wang said, "Where's Sanni? Why hasn't she come back yet? I'll go ask her."
How can such a good thing happen?
It’s not like he doesn’t have money to marry a wife, right?
Could it be that he even brought money to pay for it?
When Wang asked this, Qian Yuemei remembered that Sanni's arm was broken.
"Sanni's arm is broken. She should go to the big house for treatment..." Qian Yuemei said uncertainly.
Wang, “…”
Looking at Qian Yuemei in disbelief.
"Your sister broke her arm, and instead of going to see her and get treatment, you ran back by yourself..." Wang shouted.
Qian Yuemei, “…”
A feeling of guilt.
"I, I'm just happy..." Qian Yuemei said embarrassedly.
Wang, “…”
Worried about Sanni, he didn't bother to deal with this heartless girl anymore, so he turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
"Mom, please wait for me..." Qian Yuemei shouted hurriedly.
I realized later that I should have cared about my sister as well.
However, Sanni broke her arm for her brother-in-law.
Could it be that girl...
Qian Yuemei's heart skipped a beat.
Then he shook his head.
With his brother-in-law's looks and talent, who knows what kind of lady he will marry in the future...
