Chapter 603 He was truly furious.
Hu Erya glanced at Su Hongying, "My two cousins got out a long time ago, but they couldn't stay in the village, so they went to work outside. They only come back for a few days during the Spring Festival. The villagers don't like them. My second aunt and uncle were lazy and waited for their children to take care of them a few years ago. My cousin isn't at home, my eldest cousin's wife is in the city with her child, my two cousins are in jail, and Fang's grandparents are with the eldest son's family. No one pampers them, so the two of them slowly picked up some work at home and in the fields, so they don't starve to death. But their lives are much worse than a few years ago. How can people make such a big mess?"
"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
Su Hongying sighed, her heart aching as she thought of Su Laosan's expression of utter despair and his words, "It's pointless to get married."
After all these years, Third Brother still hasn't gotten over it. Will he be able to marry someone else in the future?
How can you spend your life with someone else if you have someone you love but can't have?
"Didn't Fang Erniu come back for the New Year?" Su Hongying asked Hu Erya.
Hu Erya shook her head, "She hasn't come back. She's just doing business outside. In previous years, she single-handedly supported her family. My cousin paid for all the living expenses, tuition fees, and rent for my older cousin's children. But in the past few years, after my two older cousins left, it seems like she hasn't been sending money home much. My second aunt and uncle even scolded her for being heartless and saying they'd raised her for nothing..."
Hu Erya couldn't continue speaking.
"...They used to love my cousin so much, but some of the things they said were even harsher than what my grandparents and parents said. Mingyue, what exactly does it mean for parents to truly love their children?"
Su Hongying paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked back at the alley she had left through.
Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know either. There's no fixed answer to these kinds of things. All I know is that my mom really loved us. She wanted to give us the stars in the sky. It was us siblings who were immature and let her down..."
Hu Erya followed her gaze and glanced over.
She gave a wry smile. "Then my parents really never loved me, not even a little bit. Oh well, I'm not at the age where I need that kind of thing to survive. If I can't have it, I can't have it."
Su Hongying smiled and said, "People always torment themselves over things they can't have. Stop thinking about it."
"...Should I have someone investigate the matter between Brother Su and my cousin?" Hu Erya asked.
Su Hongying waved her hand, "No need. I don't dare to interfere with the Fang family's situation. Let my third brother and Fang Erniu handle it themselves."
"Okay." Hu Erya nodded.
After passing through security, the three of them were walking towards the boarding gate when they received a call from Su Laosan, asking if she had arrived at the airport yet. They breathed a sigh of relief when Su Hongying confirmed that she had arrived.
Before hanging up, he told Su Hongying, "We're not short of money at home now. Don't risk your life for a movie. Everyone says the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is tough. Be careful. Next time you come back, bring your boyfriend home to meet your mother."
Su Hongying gripped her phone, glanced up at Brother Mo, and smiled as she hummed in agreement.
"Third Brother, please take care of yourselves too."
The entertainment industry is tough, the business world is just as difficult, and managing a business is even tougher.
None of their siblings' paths were easy, but what path in life is ever easy?
"Yes, have a safe journey," said Su Laosan.
After hanging up the phone, they arrived at the boarding gate. The three of them boarded the plane. Hu Erya arranged for Su Hongying and Mo Ge to sit next to each other by the window, while she herself sat in a window seat two rows away.
The two are a couple, why is she, like a third wheel, getting so close?
Su Hongying leaned on Mo Ge's shoulder and repeated Su Laosan's words, asking for his opinion. Mo Ge nodded, "Then next time we come back, let's stay a few more days. What's your mother's birthday?"
The two whispered about their plans for their next return. The plane took off quickly, and the moment it lifted off the ground, Su Hongying grabbed Mo Ge's arm and looked towards the courtyard house for a long while.
Mo put his arm around her shoulder and patted her lightly twice.
"Get some sleep. We have an event to attend after we land. You didn't sleep at all last night, did you? Your eyes are bloodshot."
Su Hongying snuggled closer to him, "I slept for a while, but I was too excited. I wanted to stay awake and spend more time with my mom and the others. After all these years, my mom is finally willing to let me come home for a meal..."
Mo looked down at her and kissed the top of her head. "So happy?"
"Yes, I'm so happy, words can't describe it. You don't know, my older brothers' kids are all incredibly capable. They're only a few years old, but in the blink of an eye, they cornered me against the wall and almost captured me alive... My older brother works in the Finance Department, and my sister-in-law works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their twins are both skilled in martial arts and academics, especially my little niece. Her eyes are always darting around, full of ideas. When the boys team up with her, they communicate with just their eyes..."
Su Hongying's eyes were full of smiles; for just one night, her heart and mind were filled with thoughts of her family.
Mo Ge smiled, thinking he'd discuss it with his assistant later, and decide to set aside half a month for Su Hongying and her family to spend more time together around Li Banxia's birthday...
On the other end, Su Laosan hung up the phone and grinned at Su Laoda and Su Laoer, "Heading to the boarding gate, we'll be flying to Hong Kong soon."
Su Lao Er snorted and turned to leave.
"I'm taking my wife and those two monkeys to the Xu family."
The eldest son of the Su family smiled and said, "I'm taking your sister-in-law and the two children to the Yao family. Your sister-in-law was talking about the two children yesterday..."
"Hey, you two..."
Su Laosan licked his back teeth and watched the two leave the study before muttering under his breath, "They're taking advantage of the fact that I don't have a wife, children, or a mother-in-law to visit for the New Year."
After saying that, he looked out the window and let out a long sigh.
Then, he stretched and said, "I don't have a mother-in-law, but I have my own mother. I'll take my mother back to my maternal grandparents' house to be their grandson."
He lifted his foot and walked outside. Just as he reached the door of the study, the phone inside the study suddenly rang.
The ringing sound was strangely sharp.
Su Laosan frowned, turned back to answer the phone, and heard Su Laotai crying on the other end, "Hello, who is it? Third son, is that you?"
Is the old lady crying?
Su Laosan had a bad feeling.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
Grandma Su recognized Su Laosan's voice and cried out, "Third son, come back quickly! Your father was driven to his death by those two wicked women, He Taohua and Lin Jiefang..."
"He deserves to be furious!"
Su Laosan retorted irritably, "He's willingly offering to raise someone else's son, so why are you bothering? You have money of your own and don't need him to support you..."
"No, I'm really furious!"
