Chapter 4: Sister is the Biggest
Su Dahu was still confused, but Su Erhu was awake.
These people were obviously referring to what the fortune teller said back then.
What's this about their family being able to prosper and prosper forever as long as they have a daughter...
"My sister is just a little girl. Whether our family lives well or not has nothing to do with my sister." Su Erhu said with a serious face.
His sister had just been born, and these people said this.
If their family remains so poor in the future, these people will surely laugh at them.
It's okay to make fun of them, but it's not okay to make fun of his sister!
After Su Erhu finished speaking, he pulled his brother away.
All the men in the Su family left in a hurry, leaving a group of people under the big locust tree to continue eating melons.
"Didn't the Su family just give birth to a daughter? How did they become rich?"
A young wife touched her bulging belly and looked at the backs of the Su brothers with a hint of disdain on her face.
She's just a girl who loses money!
Look at what these people said, I would have thought a golden phoenix was born.
The gray-haired Mrs. Wang immediately showed a mysterious expression after hearing what the young wife said.
"Ergou's family, you probably don't know this. Many years ago, a fortune teller came to our Daliushu Village. Oh, to be honest, that fortune teller had an air of immortality, like an old god. No matter whose fortune he told, his predictions were always very accurate..."
When Mrs. Wang said this, she smacked her lips as if in worship.
It seems like he is recalling the grand occasion when the whole village came out to have fortune-telling.
At the same time, it also creates an atmosphere and increases the mystery.
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, many young girls and wives who didn't know the whole story looked over eagerly.
Mrs. Wang felt that she was the center of attention and was satisfied.
Then, he continued, "The master read the Su family's fortune and said that their family has a strong yang and weak yin, and their yin and yang are out of balance. They haven't had a daughter for several generations, and their blessings are getting thinner and thinner. Only by having a daughter can they soar to the sky, have a lot of money, and be rich and prosperous..."
Wang Po spoke with saliva flying everywhere, turning the words she learned from the opera into the words of the fortune teller.
"Is there such a thing? This must be a lie." The young wife who asked the question still didn't believe it.
She had only been married to Daliushu Village for a few years and didn't believe that the poorest family in the village would become rich just because they had a daughter.
After the young wife finished speaking, she touched her belly with a hint of pride on her face.
Her mother said that her belly was round, so it must be a boy.
What’s good about having a daughter?
It’s better to have a son!
Girls are all money-losing goods!
The young wife seemed unaware that she herself was also the money-loser she was talking about.

On the way.
"Brother, what do you think the fortune teller said back then... was he really that accurate?" Su Lao Er couldn't help but ask, "Now that our mother has given birth to a little sister, is our family really going to be... prosperous?"
After hearing what his brother said, Su Dahu also remembered the rumors that were circulating in the village.
"How can you believe these things?" Su Dahu said, "Don't you remember? A few years ago, someone in the neighboring village, the Wu family, insisted that they saw a golden light shining from their house in the middle of the night, saying that they were going to make a fortune. What happened?"
"As a result, someone in their family broke his leg the next day." Su Erhu also remembered this.
"So, no matter what the fortune teller said, my sister is our sister, the treasure of our family!" Su Dahu showed his eldest brother's style, "From now on, besides our parents, my sister is the most important in the family!"
Su Erhu and others naturally nodded repeatedly.
This sister was the one they had been waiting for so long.
The Su brothers talked all the way and soon arrived at a fork in the road.
Su Dahu went to the foot of the mountain to try his luck, while Su Erhu took a few children to the river to try their luck.
"Brother, even if you can't catch the pheasant, you can't go into the mountains." Su Erhu said worriedly.
"I saved it." Su Dahu said in a simple voice, "Don't worry, my elder brother doesn't mind living a long life, so he definitely won't go into the mountains. I haven't even seen what my younger sister looks like yet, and that beast is in the mountains..."
When Su Dahu said this, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Su Erhu's expression also changed.
The joyful atmosphere was suddenly shrouded in a heaviness. Even a few little kids who didn't understand what was going on seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and stopped laughing and playing.
"Brother, do you think our third brother will come back?" Su Erhu asked, his eyes red.
"Yes! Definitely!" Su Dahu was not confident in his heart, but his tone was extremely certain, and he spoke loudly.
I don’t know whether I was saying this to Su Erhu or to myself.
It seems like this, Su Sanhu will definitely come back.
"But, third brother... is he still alive?" Su Erhu said again in a heavy tone.
"What are you talking about? Third brother must still be alive!" Boss Su glared. "Since third brother was able to survive from that beast's mouth, he must be very lucky. He must be alive and well now. Maybe he's enjoying a good life somewhere."
Although Su Dahu appears to be honest and simple in normal times, he still acts like a big brother at critical moments.
"Brother, if my third brother was lucky and had a long life, he wouldn't have been killed by the tiger..." Su Erhu couldn't continue after saying this.
Su Dahu clenched his fist, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared on his honest face.
"One day, big brother will kill that beast with his own hands!" Su Dahu said hatefully.
"Count me in!" Su Erhu said immediately.
"And me!"
"And me!"
Although a few little kids didn't understand what was going on, they also shouted loudly to express their determination.
The atmosphere was heavy for a moment, and Su Dahu gave Su Erhu some instructions.
"Second brother, take care of the little ones and make sure they don't drown."
"Brother, don't worry. These kids have been playing by the river since they were young." Su Erhu said indifferently.
Su Dahu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
When their children were born, the older ones would play with the younger ones without any adult supervision. They learned to climb trees and go to the river from a young age.
Su Dahu left with peace of mind.
Su Erhu took a few children and ran straight to the river.
"Xiaoliu, come with me to the river. We'll use a big net, Da Pan, Er Pan... Forget it, you two just play by the river and don't go into the water." Su Erhu arrived at the river and assigned tasks directly.
Although he knew that there was no need to worry about the children at home, he still asked Da Pan to keep an eye on Er Pan.
After all, his sister was just born today. If something really happened to the child at home, wouldn’t it give his sister something to gossip about?
If that happens, his parents will definitely not forgive him!
