Before Su Song got married, he had always given the money he earned from collecting herbs to his parents for the family's expenses.
After he got married, although the family was separated, he still gave money to provide for his parents' food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For more than ten years, Su Song has never stopped giving money, and the relationship between Su Song and his parents and brothers is also very loving, filial, and friendly.
It was not until Su Song disappeared that his parents and brothers revealed their true colors.
On the second day after Su Song disappeared, Uncle Su came to ask Zhang Hehua for money.
He said that his brother's whereabouts were unknown, and he was afraid that his sister-in-law would abandon the children and take away the family wealth, so he wanted to keep Su Song's savings for his brother.
Zhang Hehua was at a loss because of her husband's disappearance. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her head was dizzy and she couldn't see clearly.
She usually doesn't take care of the family property, so naturally she doesn't know where the money and savings are kept.
Faced with her uncle's questioning, she could only cry and shake her head.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of it, the uncle wanted to search the place.
Fortunately, Zhang Hehua's parents heard about what happened to their son-in-law. They were afraid that the Su family would bully Zhang Hehua, so they sent their son and grandson to support her, and that's why her uncle didn't take action.
My brothers from my mother's family still have to work to earn money and cannot stay at Susong's house all the time.
The brothers from my mother's family stayed for a few days, and when they saw that the Su family did not cause trouble again, they left.
After learning about the letter that the Zhang brothers were going out to work, Su Song's parents, two brothers, two sisters-in-law and three nephews came over angrily.
They broke into the yard and cursed Zhang Hehua, saying that she had killed her husband and was an unlucky person, and wanted to drive her out. They also forcibly held down Su Song's five children who were under ten years old, saying that the Su family's bloodline could not fall into the hands of this unlucky person, and that they would raise the children from now on.
The three houses built by Su Song, the spacious and tidy yard, and the two acres of land he reclaimed on the East Mountain with his own hands were all taken over by Su Song's parents.
At that time, the yard was filled with crying. Zhang Hehua begged desperately and shouted until her voice became hoarse, but none of the villagers around helped her. They all stood outside the yard and watched her being dragged out by her two sisters-in-law, holding her wrists.
Just when Zhang Hehua was thrown out the door, mother and child were separated, and she was crying her heart out, the original owner came back from the county clinic.
She received the letter on the third day after her father disappeared. She took her younger brothers and sisters to search for her father on the official road he had walked for five or six days, but did not find any clues, so she temporarily gave up the search.
After sending her younger brother and sister home, she went to ask for her resignation from the female doctor at the clinic.
The female doctor knew that something had happened in her family, and as the eldest child, she had to go home to take care of her family. Even though she was reluctant, she had to let go.
The female doctor kept the original owner for a few days, gave her several prescriptions from her collection, and taught her a set of acupuncture techniques, hoping that she could use the skills she learned to earn money to support her family and become a support for her family.
During the last few days in the clinic, the original owner read medical books, memorized prescriptions, and practiced acupuncture day and night.
After memorizing the medical skills taught to her by her master, she packed her bag, took the silver needles and medical books and returned to Shanyan Village.
Before she reached the door of her house, she heard her mother's hoarse cry.
A few meters around my mother was a group of villagers, with different expressions on their faces. They were pointing at my mother and whispering to each other.
One of them was Wang Sao, a neighbor of the Su Song family. She was a widow. She felt sorry for what happened to Zhang Hehua, but she was alone and did not dare to cause trouble. She could only hide behind the crowd and sigh.
When Mrs. Wang heard Zhang Hehua crying miserably, she turned her head away to wipe her tears and just happened to catch a glimpse of the original owner's figure.
She hurried to the original owner and told her everything that had happened.
The original owner had learned a lot of skills and wanted to set up his own family, so he naturally would not let his family be bullied.
She knew exactly what her grandparents and uncles were thinking. Didn't they just want to seize her family's property because her father's life and death were unknown?
With her around, I won’t give up even a penny of my house, fields, or home!
When the villagers saw the original owner coming back, they started talking even louder, all wanting to watch the show.
The original owner first helped his mother up and then went to knock on the door.
When the aunt saw through the crack in the door that it was the original owner who had returned, her eyes rolled.
The original owner had been well-fed and cared for in the clinic for several years. Compared with the farm girls who worked in the fields all day and were exposed to the wind and sun, she was fair and delicate, like a flower bud just blooming in the early morning.
It just so happened that a local tycoon wanted to take a concubine. If he sent his beautiful niece over, he could get at least a hundred taels of silver as a dowry.
With this in mind, the aunt opened the door a crack and pulled the original owner in.
After the original owner entered the room, she rushed into the kitchen without saying a word. When she came out, she held a big kitchen knife in each hand, her eyes were red, and she chopped at the elders in the yard.
The elders of the Su family were all very careful about their lives. When they saw the original owner's crazy look, they ran away. The uncle even lost one of his shoes while running.
A young cousin who didn't understand that swords have no eyes stood in front of the original owner and tried to snatch the knife.
Instead, the original owner chopped off his arms and legs, and blood splattered all over the yard. The scene was more tragic than killing two chickens.
The original owner put two large kitchen knives covered in blood behind his waist, tied up his cousin's arms and legs with the cloth belts he had prepared long ago to stop the bleeding, and fed him a life-saving pill.
Then she called out to the elders who were shivering outside the door.
"I will chop down anyone who tries to seize my property. Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor. I can heal anyone no matter how badly they're chopped."
"My father's life or death is unknown, yet you come and seize my family's property and drive my mother out of the house. I wish there were no law that would allow you to do this. If you dare to come to my house and act so recklessly again, I will close the door and chop you all to pieces, and then I'll heal you. This is a family matter, and I don't want your lives. Even if the village head comes, he can't do anything to me!"
This was the first time the Su family witnessed the original owner's madness. They did not dare to anger him, so they had to go back in shame and make further plans.
Two days later, the original owner found two villagers to take his injured cousin back to his home.
At this point, the Su family was quiet for a while.
Now they are here again, they must have bad intentions, Su Wanti thought.
Zhang Hehua lowered her head. "I know you don't like your uncle and his family. Every time they come, you resort to violence. I'm afraid you'll get angry, so I've kept it a secret from you."
"But I didn't hide it from you on purpose this time. You just came home this morning and I didn't have time to tell you."
After saying this, she managed to cheer up a little, her eyes brightening slightly.
"This time your uncle and aunt are not here to cause trouble, they are here to propose marriage to you."
