Will this stuff make someone sick?!
They genuinely didn't believe in the pills and dared not take them. Otherwise, with the old lady, Uncle Su, and Su Lin watching, they would have thrown it in the trash long ago.
“How are you going to eat these pills? There aren’t many left. If it weren’t for the fact that we’re family, we wouldn’t be able to get any.”
After Su Lin finished eating, he realized that apart from his mother, no one else, not even his wife, had eaten. He was so anxious that he hurriedly urged them to finish.
"Su Lin, you haven't been tricked, have you!?"
After Su Huaiwu's wife arrived in China, she felt that China was better in every way, and that everything in China was better. She was very proud and no longer looked down on anything in China.
She already knew that her brother-in-law and his son had gone back to find the brothers who insisted on staying in the country back then, and she also knew that Su's mother and her brother-in-law and his son wanted to bring her brother-in-law's family to the country and give him a share of the Su family's property.
Therefore, she disliked her uncle's family very much. They had worked so hard in the country for so many years, and now they were going to give their assets to others. How could she accept that?!
She wouldn't even look at that lousy pill; even her return gift was so stingy.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve all taken them. The pills are fine and very good for our health.”
Su Huaiwen seemed not to have heard the subtext of his younger sister-in-law's words, and even kindly offered advice.
"Second Aunt, the pills my aunt gave me are really good stuff, no kidding. After I took them, I can clearly feel my stomach is warm and comfortable."
Su Lin was about to speak when she suddenly felt a warm sensation in her abdomen. It was already quite cold outside. There was heating in the house, that's true, but this feeling was different from the heating.
Unfortunately, his words only drew disdain from his second aunt, who didn't believe him at all and looked down on such pills.
"You dare to eat this stuff of unknown origin, but I don't. Whoever wants to eat it can eat it, but I won't."
Fang Qinglin threw the pills in her bag onto the coffee table, making her stance clear: she didn't want to, and no one could say anything against her.
Moreover, she had long held strong opinions about the distribution of family property, and this was a good opportunity for the Su family to know her stance.
Su's mother looked coldly at her second daughter-in-law. She could tell that this daughter-in-law had long been dissatisfied with the distribution of the family's property, but she had no right to speak in this family.
The family's wealth comes from the old man and his two sons. The eldest grandson has been managing the family business here for many years. Even if she and the old man give their share to their youngest son, no one can say anything about it.
“If anyone doesn’t want to eat, just say so. Wild boars can’t eat fine bran. If you don’t want to eat, give it back to the boss. Boss, take the pills back.”
Who's begging them to eat?! Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; if they don't treat her well, why should she force them to?!
The moment the old lady spoke, the rest of the Su family were immediately terrified. Especially Su Lin's wife, who quickly stuffed the pills into her mouth. She didn't trust the old lady or her in-laws, but she still trusted her husband completely; she believed he wouldn't harm her.
"Little brother, sister-in-law, these pills are really good stuff. Look at me, I've been taking them for so long and nothing's happened to me. In fact, I feel much lighter. Grandma and Mom and Dad wouldn't lie to us, they've all taken them."
The old lady was angry, and Su Lin quickly tried to persuade his own brother, saying, "If we've already eaten our own family, wouldn't that harm everyone else too?"
Su Qi and his wife exchanged a glance, and then quickly ate the pills in their mouths.
After watching them eat, Su Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was just glad he wouldn't harm his own brother.
However, Su Huaiwu's two sons and daughters-in-law quickly returned the pills that had been placed inside to Su's uncle.
This time, Uncle Su didn't force them. He told them to eat it or not. If they didn't eat it, they could have a few more. They could eat one every six months to improve their health.
Both Su's mother and uncle knew perfectly well that such good things were rare, and even rarer were hard to come by. Others also had their own families, so it was better to keep them for their own use. Most importantly, nobody knew what these pills were, and the necessary medicinal ingredients were nowhere to be found.
"Let's leave it at that. Go back and get some rest."
With a calm expression, Su's mother waved for everyone to leave. She lived with her eldest son's family, so naturally, her second son's family would also have to leave.
When Fang Qinglin heard her mother-in-law tell them to leave, she stood up and walked away without saying a word, making sure to call out to her son and daughter-in-law as she went.
"Su An, Su Ping, why aren't you leaving yet?! Don't keep your uncle and your elder brother from resting."
"Mom, then we'll go back."
Apart from Su Huaiwu, everyone from the second wife's family left with Fang Qinglin. He looked at his wife's retreating figure and didn't know what to say.
The couple had lived together for decades, but ever since the old man made his will, Fang Qinglin began to feel dissatisfied, feeling that it was very unfair to them and that she did not want to take away an extra share of the property.
"Mom, brother, that's just how Qinglin is, don't take it to heart."
What else could Su Huaiwu do?! He could only try to make amends for his wife.
"Second brother, we know what your wife is thinking. She feels that the Su family's assets were earned by you two brothers through hard work here, so why should a share go to the third brother?! Isn't that right?!"
"Did she ever think that when we first came here, the old man was still alive?! He took you two brothers to do business, and our family brought so much money with us, which is why we are where we are today."
"Your father didn't favor any of you three brothers. His will even included one of your sons, the youngest. Even though the Su family has ten million now, he only gave your youngest brother over a million. And your wife isn't satisfied with that? Doesn't she want it all?!"
Su's mother was very disappointed in her second daughter-in-law. She had thought she was a good person, but after pretending for so many years, she turned out to be a shallow-minded person who only cared about her small plot of land and had even started to look down on others in recent years.
"mom……"
"Mom, don't be angry. My second brother definitely didn't have such thoughts."
Su Huaiwu and Su Huaiwen were both frightened by their mother's words and tried to explain repeatedly.
Unfortunately, Su's mother didn't want to hear any more of what they were saying. She shook her head and got up to go back to her room.
Su Lin and his wife, who had been silent all along, rushed over to help the old lady up and escort her back to her room.
Su Qi and his wife remained silent; they, as the younger generation, had no say in such matters.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Huaiwen's wife, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"Second brother, the pills your wife gave me are really good stuff. I feel much better now than before, and my body feels much lighter."
