Wang Xiulan stood there, and seeing Su Mingqiang putting on airs, she was also annoyed.
"Mingqiang, speak properly..."
"Mother, don't worry about it."
Su Mingqiang plopped down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
"I'm back today on important business. Yufen, heat up the food, Yuzhen, pour the water, let's eat and talk."
Su Yuzhen and Su Yufen exchanged a glance and looked at their mother simultaneously.
Wang Xiulan nodded helplessly.
"Go."
Su Yuzhen dawdled toward the kitchen, cursing her elder brother a hundred times in her heart.
She deliberately spat into the water glass before taking it out to Su Mingqiang.
"It's so slow."
Su Mingqiang took the water glass and gulped down most of it.
"Sit down, everyone, I have something to announce."
Su Yuzhen stood to the side without moving, plotting how to sneak back to her room to continue packing her luggage.
She was leaving tonight, and she didn't have time to listen to her older brother putting on airs.
When Su Mingqiang saw that no one was paying attention to him, his face darkened.
"What, does my word as the older brother not carry any weight anymore?"
"Speak quickly, whatever it is."
Su Yuzhen couldn't help but talk back.
"You've been expelled from the family genealogy by our father; you're no longer a member of the Su family."
"You've gone too far!"
Su Mingqiang slammed his hand on the stone table and stood up.
"With Dad not home, I'm the head of the household! What kind of attitude is this?"
Su Yuzhen didn't tolerate Su Mingqiang's temper at all and directly retorted.
“You’re someone who’s been expelled from the family tree. You’ll be a wandering ghost even after you’re dead. You call yourself the head of a family? Bah!”
Su Mingqiang's face turned ashen with anger at Su Yuzhen's words.
"You little brat, you've really gone too far!"
Su Mingqiang pointed at Su Yuzhen's nose, his finger trembling.
"Who taught you to say such things? Was it your father?"
Su Yuzhen straightened her back without fear.
"Do you need someone else to teach you? Don't you know what you've done? Your father already removed you from the family tree, that's all that matters. You ungrateful wretch, still acting like some big brother!"
"you!"
Su Mingqiang raised his hand to slap her, but Wang Xiulan grabbed him.
"Mingqiang! What are you doing!"
Wang Xiulan was a little angry.
"You come back and immediately start doing this and that? Don't you even respect me as your mother?!"
Su Mingqiang broke free from his mother's hand and sneered.
"Fine, now even you, Mother, aren't taking my side. Very well, I'm telling you, I came back today to inform you!!"
He looked around, paused deliberately, looked at the three women in the yard, and raised his voice.
"I want to separate from the family!"
These words exploded like a bomb in the yard.
After hearing this, Wang Xiulan staggered back two steps and grabbed the door frame to avoid falling.
"What...what did you say?"
Wang Xiulan was so angry that she trembled all over.
"Divide the family property? Your father's still alive, and you want to divide the family property? Are you cursing us to die young?!"
Su Yufen rushed forward to support her swaying mother.
"Brother, are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing!"
Su Yuzhen even jumped up.
"Su Mingqiang! Have you no shame? You were kicked out of the house by Dad and now you come back to cause trouble by dividing the family property? Who do you think you are!"
"Shut up!"
Su Mingqiang roared.
"Women have no right to speak in this house!"
He turned to Wang Xiulan, his tone firm.
"Mom, the neighborhood committee people will be coming to our house at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to verify the situation. Dad, third son, and all of you—not one of you can be missing!"
Wang Xiulan was so angry that she felt dizzy, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"What a terrible thing! What sins did I commit in my past life to raise such an unfilial son like you! Your father is still alive, and you..."
Don't give me that!
Su Mingqiang waved his hand impatiently to interrupt.
"When Dad kicked me out of the house, did he never think of me as his son? He didn't give me a single penny of the 30,000 yuan compensation, and now he's accusing me of being unfilial?"
Su Yufen questioned him with red eyes.
"Brother, were you instigated by Li Jinhua? Those people from her family..."
"none of your business!"
Su Mingqiang glared fiercely at Su Yufen and Su Yuzhen, then stood up and said some harsh words.
"Everyone, be home by nine o'clock tomorrow morning! If you dare to try anything funny..."
He gave a cold laugh.
"I'll just set this house on fire; it's not my home anyway!"
After saying that, Su Mingqiang turned around and walked towards the gate. When he passed the kitchen, he deliberately kicked over the bucket by the door, making a loud "bang".
"stop!"
Wang Xiulan suddenly shouted, her voice unusually stern.
"You bastard, how could I have given birth to such a thing as you..."
It's astonishing that someone as timid as Wang Xiulan could be driven to this point.
Su Mingqiang is probably the first one.
Faced with Wang Xiulan's scolding, Su Mingqiang glanced back indifferently.
"Whatever! Anyway, the neighborhood committee officials have to see all of you tomorrow!"
With that, he stepped out the door.
Inside the courtyard, the cries and curses of three women could be heard. Da Mao and Er Mao, who had been playing in the mud nearby, also joined in the crying.
In an instant, the entire courtyard was in chaos.
...
Su Mingqiang had just left less than ten minutes ago.
Su Jianguo hummed a little tune and rode his bicycle into the alley.
The weather was lovely today, with a gentle breeze. Wu Er was recovering well and had new plans for greenhouse vegetables, so he was in a particularly good mood.
Su Jianguo even whistled.
