Old Su remained silent, fragments flashing through his mind. Over the years, he truly couldn't find any reason why his second son had been unfilial. Nor had he shown any disrespect to his eldest son.
A question flashed through his mind: Had he done something wrong? Should he have been too harsh on his second son? But that question quickly shattered his resolve.
He simply disliked his second son, who resembled his father. His father had three sons, and he was the youngest. From a young age, he disliked studying and doing chores, preferring to play around, get into fights, and steal things and money from home.
His father always scolded him and even beat him when he found out he had taken money from the family. He would always praise his two older brothers and tell him to learn from them.
Why should he hit him when he's using his own family's money? He's the youngest son in the family, so everything should rightfully belong to him.
After his two older brothers got married, he clearly had his eye on his second sister-in-law, but his father arranged for his second brother to marry her instead. From the day his second brother got married, he hated his father for his favoritism and for taking his second brother away from his sister-in-law.
He was overjoyed when his first son, born after he got married, resembled him. But when his second son was born, he saw that he looked like both his grandfather and his second uncle. Since his second brother resembled his father, he felt disgusted with his second son and didn't even want to look at him, so he left him with his grandparents.
Second brother, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. The thing I need to talk to you about today is that your daughter Su Xingran has become Doctor Huang's apprentice. Go and tell Doctor Huang, "Since he has accepted your daughter Su Xingran, he should also accept your eldest brother's daughter Wenli as his apprentice."
Su's father, mother, and Su Xingran listened as if they'd heard a joke that was both funny and disgusting. It was truly remarkable that this family dared to think and speak so freely. They made it sound like Doctor Huang was taking on apprentices like cabbages.
Father, I can't help with this. Ranran was taken on as an apprentice by Doctor Huang. Huilan and I had nothing to do with her from beginning to end.
What do you mean? Are you unwilling to help your brother's family? Dr. Huang is accepting one case or another, and you're telling me you can't help without even trying.
Su Xingran felt that Old Man Su would do anything for his uncle's family. Grandpa, Master swore he would only take one disciple in his life, and there would be no second.
She thought that by saying that, Old Man Su would shut up, but what she heard next made her think that Old Man Su was really something else, making her values completely shattered.
Since Dr. Huang only accepts one apprentice, why don't you give your spot to your cousin? She's smart, sensible, and knows how to make people happy. She'd be a better fit for Dr. Huang than you.
You have a bad temper, no respect for elders, are stupid by nature, and are bad at talking and don't know how to please people. You should stay home and work to earn work points. Don't bother going to school anymore. When the time comes, just find someone to marry.
Su Xingran was so angry at these words that she laughed. How could such disgusting people exist in this world? The thought of being related to such people by blood made her feel extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
Having been given a second chance at life, she didn't want such a person to have the opportunity to bully her and her parents again; she couldn't bear it any longer. The anger in her heart made her lose all reason.
Grandpa, just because I call you Grandpa, do you think I deserve to be slandered by you? Why should I? I want my master to give her Su Wenli; does she even deserve it?
You favored your uncle's family, and all you did was leech off my parents. You kicked them out of the house and didn't give them a single penny. If it weren't for my great-grandparents leaving their house for my father, the three of us wouldn't even have a place to hide.
