Chapter 305: I Earn Back the Title
Qian Yuemei came to her mother's house with great enthusiasm, but was lectured by her parents and looked down upon by her sister, so she had to go back dejectedly.
As for the young lady’s dream, she could only dream about it in her heart.
Anyway, I wouldn't spend money even in my dreams.
As expected, the Su family held a family meeting.
Old Lady Su officially announced her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lin family's eldest branch and the only heir of the eldest branch.
"Mom, so my grandfather was a great general and earned the title of Duke himself?" Su Xiaoliu said with shining eyes.
"Yes!" Old Mrs. Su nodded, a proud smile on her face. "Your grandfather is a man of both civil and military talents, and a master of military strategy. The people along the border all admire him immensely..."
"Mother! Don't worry! I will become a general in the future and earn back your grandfather's title for you!"
Su Xiaoliu slapped his chest and swore a solemn oath.
"Okay, mother will wait for you to earn back the title." Old Mrs. Su looked relieved.
My son is still young, so having a goal can motivate him to make progress and stay on the wrong path.
As for striving for a title, Old Lady Su just listened.
I don't have that thought at all.
She knew that unless one had served the emperor well at the beginning of the country's founding, or had survived life and death on the battlefield and made great achievements, it would be impossible for one to be canonized as a marquis.
Even the little girl's godfather, General Shenwu, who had led troops for many years and had made countless military achievements, was only a first-rank general and did not receive the title of marquis.
"Xiao Liu, you have ambition!" Old Man Su said loudly, "Dad is also waiting for you to earn back your grandfather's title. When the time comes, we will beat drums and gongs and march in front of the Duke of England's mansion..."
"Dad, it's no longer called the Duke of Ying's Mansion, it's called the Lin Mansion." Su Lao Er corrected.
Old Man Su glared at Old Man Su.
He was speaking passionately when he was interrupted by his son.
Why do I feel like this son is getting more and more annoying?
Can't you wait until he finishes speaking before reminding him?
"Second brother is right, that's the Lin Mansion now." Little Tangbao waved his little fist and said, "The plaque on their gate must have been replaced! When the time comes, we can make a new one, a dazzling golden plaque, and hang it on our gate..."
When Old Man Su heard what his little girl said, he immediately laughed out loud with joy.
"Yes, that's right! That's the Lin Mansion!" Old Man Su said with full energy, "When the time comes, Dad will personally carry the big plaque and walk in front of the gate of their Lin Mansion, so that they can see with their own eyes that the title that their family lost was earned by our family... Hahahaha..."
Old Man Su became happier as he spoke.
Little Tangbao also laughed.
It feels pretty good to brag.
Su Xiaoliu said excitedly, "When the time comes, Dad will ride on a tall horse with a large plaque on his shoulder. I will wear shining armor, carry a spear at my waist, and ride on horseback to guard Dad..."
"Go! Go away!" Su Lao Er rushed to say, "It should be me riding a pitch-black horse, with a peerless sword slung at my waist, and guarding Dad with a majestic presence..."
Little Tangbao looked at the sixth brother and then at the second brother, and felt that each one was more immature than the other.
After hearing what Su Laoer said, Su Xiaoliu immediately refuted it.
"Brother, I earned the title, so naturally I am the one who protects Dad..."
"I am the elder brother, so I should take it as my own..."
"You guys stay by Dad's side, and I'll ride on horseback and stay by my sister's side." Su Laoda said in a simple voice, "Don't be afraid, sister. If you can't ride a horse, you can take the sedan chair, and I'll ride beside it."
"Fourth brother, follow the other side." Su Laosi said with a smile.
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Su Laoer and Su Xiaoliu.
Su Laoer, "..."
Su Xiaoliu, “…”
Look at your dad, then look at your chubby little sister.
My dad calls me "bad boy" all the time, and my little sister calls me brother all the time...
"How about you, second brother, protect Dad?" Su Xiaoliu made a quick decision and betrayed his father. "As your younger brother, I won't fight with you for it. I'll lead the way for my sister to prevent anyone from bumping into her..."
"Xiao Liu, what you said is wrong." Su Lao Er immediately showed his brotherly love, "As the elder brother, I should give in to my younger brother. You should protect Dad, and I will clear the way for my sister..."
Old Man Su, “…”
So no one wants him anymore?
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
Su Laosi couldn't help laughing.
Boss Su also laughed.
immediately--
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
Da Pan also laughed.
Old Mrs. Su couldn't help laughing.
When Old Man Su saw his wife smile, he smiled too.
Originally, I said these things just to make my wife happy.
Although the daughter-in-law didn't say it, she must have felt sad when she mentioned her father-in-law who had passed away long ago.
"You bastards! I've raised you for nothing!" Old Man Su scolded with a smile, "Just go cool off! When the time comes, I'll carry the plaque and clear the way for your sister myself!"
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, everyone in the room laughed.
Grandma Du sent Uncle Du and his family away and did not go back with them.
After all, Mrs. Su’s identity was exposed and Lin Hong also came looking for her. This was a big deal.
No matter what, she had to stay and comfort the eldest lady.
At this time, Grandma Du saw the harmonious relationship between the Su family, the loving mother and filial children, and the happy scene with many descendants. She was so happy that her eyes turned red.
"God has mercy on the young lady. She has finally gotten her reward after all the hardship she has endured. If the master and the mistress were still alive, they would surely be very happy..." Grandma Du wiped her eyes and said with emotion.
Grandma Du was really happy for Old Madam Su!
She treated Old Madam Su even better than her own son.
After hearing what Grandma Du said, Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but hold Grandma Du's hand.
I agreed with what Grandma Du said in my heart.
She believed that her parents in heaven would be pleased to see her current appearance.
"Mother, thank you so much for risking your life to save me and treating me like your own child. It's because of this that I have a happy life today. Your daughter thanks you."
"Don't say that, Miss. This is what I should do."
"Mom, I am your daughter, not a young lady. Don't call me that in the future." Old Mrs. Su looked at Grandma Du and said seriously.
"How can that be?" Grandma Du said immediately, "There are differences between the superior and the inferior. In the past, we had no choice but to conceal it. Now that we can no longer hide it, the status of master and servant must not be confused..."
"Mother, where's the relationship between master and servant?" Old Madam Su insisted. "Over the years, the bond between us mother and daughter has long outweighed any relationship! From now on, you're my mother, and I'm your daughter. You must never call me Miss again!"
Although the two of them used to call each other mother and daughter in front of others, behind the scenes, Grandma Du always treated Old Lady Su as the eldest daughter.
"Mother-in-law, Ru'er is right." Old Man Su said solemnly, "You saved Ru'er's life. The bond between us even surpasses that between biological mother and daughter. Never mention those empty titles again!"
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he stood up again and bowed solemnly to Grandma Du.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for taking care of Ru'er over the years. Thank you, mother-in-law, for saving Ru'er's life. I will always remember your kindness and will never forget it..."
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, Su Xiaoliu immediately said, "Grandma, you are my real grandma. When I become a general, no, when I earn back my grandfather's title, I will take you to live in the Duke's Mansion and let you serve as a general..."
Su Xiaoliu stuttered, thought for a moment, scratched the back of his head, and his eyes lit up.
"Yes! Old Lady! Let you be the Old Lady!"
After hearing what Su Xiaoliu said, Grandma Du smiled happily.
"Okay, I'll wait to go to the Duke's Mansion and become the old lady..."
Everyone in the room laughed.
However, at this time, no one took Su Xiaoliu's words seriously.
