At this moment, Wu Lili stared at Su Tong in disbelief: "Su... Su Tong, brother? Is this... is this Yuan Yuan's house? Is Yuan Yuan... is Yuan Yuan inside?"
"She's in the bedroom, go check on her," Su Tong said, pointing to the closed bedroom door.
Then, he pulled Su Ruyi out the door.
Only after reaching the bottom of the stairs did Su Tong seem to relax a little. He looked at Su Ruyi, his gaze softening: "Hungry? Let's go to the state-run restaurant!"
Su Ruyi didn't move: "Fourth Brother, what exactly is going on? The sister-in-law you found for me is Chen Yuanyuan?!"
Su Tong nodded: "I know this is a bit sudden, but I have thought it through carefully before deciding to marry her."
Su Ruyi felt like her head was about to explode: "Fourth Brother, Lily said Yuanyuan is seriously ill and about to die, but you said you want to marry her. What's going on?!"
Su Tong sighed, "Let's go eat, we can talk while we eat. Let's also bring some food for Yuanyuan and Lili, otherwise the store will close soon."
Su Ruyi had no choice but to follow Su Tong, and the two arrived at the state-run restaurant.
This wasn't the first time Su Ruyi had eaten out with her fourth brother, but the four dishes and soup laid out before her tasted like cardboard. It was the first time she'd ever eaten them.
Seeing that Su Ruyi really couldn't eat anymore, Su Tong sighed, "This is a long story..."
A month ago, Su Tong had just returned from a business trip when Su Dazhi asked someone to make more than a dozen phone calls, asking him to come back to Sujiazhuang, saying that he had something urgent to discuss with him.
Su Tong didn't want to go, but Su Dazhi kept calling the factory, asking all sorts of questions, which had a bad influence.
So, after thinking it over, I decided to go back.
As soon as he pushed open the gate of the Su family courtyard, he saw a familiar figure—Su Yin.
Su Yin was lying in the courtyard on the deck chair that originally belonged to Su Xueshu, sunbathing.
Beside him, a strange girl was trying to feed him water.
Su Yin kept dodging while uttering vicious curses, calling the girl "ugly monster."
Finally, the girl saw Su Tong and exclaimed "Oh dear!" as she stood up.
Su Tong then noticed that her abdomen was protruding, and she looked to be four or five months pregnant!
The girl looked at Su Tong closely and then smiled: "Are you Su Yin's older or younger brother? You two look so alike!"
Su Tong, still confused, politely replied, "I am his fourth brother, Su Tong."
The girl chuckled, "I knew it! Grandma said you'd be here in a day or two. You don't recognize me yet, do you? I'm Su Yin's wife, my name is Xia Tianyu!"
"Third...Sister-in-law! Hello!" Su Tong felt a cold sweat break out all over her body.
Su Ruyi had mentioned Xia Tianyu in her letter, but Su Tong never expected to see her in Su Family Village.
Summer Rain was dressed as a peasant woman, with dark skin. Her eyes were habitually squinted to avoid the sunlight, and there was a deep chapped line on her lips.
By all accounts, she looks like a typical country girl, or rather, a young married woman.
Su Ruyi had mentioned that Xia Yu was the eldest of the twin daughters of Xia Dong, the former deputy mayor of Haicheng.
At this moment, Su Yin, who was on the recliner, made some strange noises.
Su Tong's gaze shifted from Xia Tianyu's face to Su Yin's face.
Su Yin's eyes were unfocused.
He staggered to his feet, spread his legs, and stood still.
Soon after, water began to flow down his two shoes and onto the ground.
An unpleasant odor wafted through the air.
Summer Rain exclaimed again, "Oh dear! Didn't I tell you to take your pants off first when you need to pee?"
"Ugly freak, leave me alone!" Su Yin said, her voice quite clear.
Xia Tianyu sighed, waited for Su Yin to finish urinating, then gave him a clean pair of pants and dragged him to the room next door to change.
At this moment, Sun Qiaomei heard the noise and woke up.
I hadn't seen Sun Qiaomei for several months, and she had gained a lot of weight; she was even out of breath when she walked.
She walked out of the main room, hands on her hips, and glanced sideways at Su Tong: "Su Dazhi's son? Who is he?"
"Fourth brother," Su Tong replied in a low voice.
"You ill-mannered brat!" Sun Qiaomei suddenly flew into a rage, grabbed a broom, and charged over. "You didn't even utter a fart when you saw your grandma?"
"Mom! Mom! Don't hit Xiaotong yet, I need to talk to him!" Su Dazhi, leaning on his cane, appeared out of nowhere.
Sun Qiaomei stopped what she was doing, and said angrily, "Bad bamboo can't produce good shoots! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Su Dazhi looked at Su Tong with a hint of ingratiation: "Xiao Tong, you look great! I've never seen you look so good before!"
Su Tong frowned and asked, "What urgent matter do you have?!"
Su Dazhi scratched his head sheepishly: "Xiao Tong, now that you've made something of yourself, you should think about helping your brothers and sisters back home!"
"Who are you going to drag in?" Su Tong had completely lost his patience. "Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!"
"Yinzi has a fever that has damaged his brain. Could you take him to a big hospital in Beijing to get him treated?" Su Dazhi asked cautiously.
"..." Su Tong felt a void in his heart.
Despite suffering from heart disease for so many years, Su Dazhi and Guan Yumei never suggested taking him to a major hospital in Beijing for treatment.
Fortunately, Sixth Sister cured her heart disease; otherwise, just one sentence would have been enough to send him to meet Marx.
Seeing Su Tong's face darken instantly, Su Dazhi said again, "Xiao Tong, don't be in a difficult position... If it's inconvenient to take him to see a doctor, could you... could you lend Dad some money? Dad can take him there."
So they wanted money!
Su Tong suddenly realized that Su Dazhi's tactics were like this—first, he would present a difficult problem, refuse it, and then he would casually make another, slightly less difficult request!
"How much money do you want?" Su Tong heard himself ask coldly.
Unexpectedly, before Su Dazhi could answer, Sun Qiaomei led seven or eight elders of the Su family toward Su Tong.
Su Tong couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He didn't recognize these people, but he could still sense the atmosphere of a joint trial.
Sure enough, an old man with a white beard raised his cane and pointed it at him: "Unfilial son, kneel down!"
Su Tong took a few steps back, and a group of people pressed forward.
One of the younger ones shouted, "The clan leader told you to kneel, are you deaf?!"
At this moment, Su Tong felt immense regret, wondering why he had come back.
He looked around, grabbed the door bar, held it horizontally in his hand, and looked at Su Dazhi: "Dad, what's going on?!"
Su Dazhi looked completely bewildered: "This... I don't know either. Mom, why did you invite all the clan elders here?!"
"What are you doing?!" Sun Qiaomei said smugly, "I'm going to teach this disobedient and unfilial son a lesson!"
