Su Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face vanished as he realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Are you kidding me? How come your dad isn't your grandfather's biological child?"
I've never heard of that. Who told you such nonsense?
There's no need to expose a secret that's been hidden for so many years. Some things are hard to explain anyway, so it's better to just keep it a secret.
Judging from the old man's expression, Su Chenhao felt he knew nothing, but didn't know what to say.
"These words were said by my second aunt. She found a witness who proved that my father was a child picked up from outside."
She wants my current house, which, as you know, was renovated and rebuilt by my father. It was simply built on the original land; it wasn't my grandfather's property.
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Su Xinghe was so angry his beard almost flew off his feet.
"Can you believe anything Ding Guizhi says? She's lying, there's absolutely nothing to it."
Su Chenhao suddenly felt uncertain. Could it be that his second aunt was really lying? Was it all for their three rooms?
Su Xinghe led the two children to the yard and called out to the house.
"Old woman, I'm going out for a bit. You come out and watch the children."
"Alright, you can go now!" The old woman's voice came from inside, followed by the sound of the door opening. The two children ran towards the door and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Su Xinghe picked up the straw hat hanging in the corner and put it on, his face full of indignation.
"I want to ask her personally which witness she found. Your dad is my brother I've known since childhood. What do I not know about your family's affairs?"
He thought to himself, "They've just found a few old guys in the village who haven't died yet."
Few people know what happened back then, and those who did know the inside story are mostly dead by now. They only know the basics at most, and their current boasting is simply because they've received benefits.
Ding Guizhi always liked to take advantage of others. She thought that by proving that Su Chenhao was not a descendant of the Su family, she could kick him out of the house. Her branch of the family could then rightfully occupy the three rooms.
What a vicious woman! This is too cruel. Those three houses were the only safe haven for the two children.
Su Chenhao didn't say anything more and followed behind the village chief. Regardless of whether the story of his father finding the child was true or false, he was grateful for everything the village chief had done for him that day.
Qiao Xiaoni followed behind them, thinking that the village chief of Sujia Village was really something, willing to stand up for Su Chenhao like this, but no matter what the final result was, he would offend people.
Su Xinghe, seething with anger, arrived at Su Chenhao's residence, which was right next to Su Ming's house.
Ding Guizhi happened to be eating sunflower seeds under the shade of a tree. The ground was covered with sunflower seed shells. She was wearing a floral vest and loose nylon pants. Her hair was messy and unkempt as she sat there.
"Ding Guizhi, come here!" Su Xinghe shouted, his voice like a muffled thunderclap from the sky.
Qiao Xiaoni was startled by the old village chief's amazing move. Who would have thought that someone so old would have such a loud voice?
Su Chenhao explained, "Grandpa developed his loud voice during the war, and it saved everyone several times because of it."
Otherwise, this village might have been gone long ago.
Qiao Xiaoni looked on with admiration. She could imagine the circumstances under which the village chief shouted...
