"How could I not recognize him? Fourth brother, you'd better get back to work! Work is important!"
Guan Yuzhu was in an extremely good mood at this moment, and he could even speak human language, with a smile on his face.
So Su Tong turned around and left.
After parting ways with Su Tong, Su Ruyi waited a moment before getting into the car that went straight to Su Family Village.
The reason for waiting a while is to ensure that the two families can meet at the Su family's courtyard.
If the two events are scheduled to be held at different times, then we'll miss out on the big show.
Once the car arrived in town, Su Ruyi immediately hired an oxcart to go to the village.
She was still a little uneasy.
Despite possessing divine power, she was no match for the sheer number of the Su family members, who lacked any sense of martial ethics...
If we were to name the two people who left the biggest psychological scars on Su Ruyi when she was a child, it would undoubtedly be her grandfather Su Xueshu and her grandmother Sun Qiaomei.
Even now, Su Ruyi still feels a slight ache in her stomach when she recalls Su Xueshu's kick to the chest.
As for Sun Qiaomei... let's not mention her.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Sujiazhuang Village, Su Ruyi had the oxcart wait for her there while she got off to check the direction.
This place is almost unchanged from when she visited as a child.
Wang'ao Village is closer to Haicheng and has a better climate.
However, Sujiazhuang is much farther from Haicheng, which is why you have to take a bus.
The geographical location and climate of Sujiazhuang are much worse than those of Wang'ao Village.
The village is located with a continuous range of mountains behind it, and several villages in front of it have been encroaching on the land for generations, so the only option is to develop up the mountain.
Therefore, the fields in Sujiazhuang are fragmented, looking like a piece of patched-up rag.
The people here are much poorer than those in Wang'ao Village, and they are also more unruly.
Looking around, Su Ruyi saw that the whole village was gray and gloomy, with mud-brick houses everywhere, which looked very depressing.
In summary, although this place is only a few hundred kilometers from the sea, it is an arid mountainous area known for its poverty.
The village was originally built along the river, but now the larger river upstream of that unnamed stream has changed course due to the construction of a reservoir. The stream has long since exposed its dry riverbed, and only a trickle of water flows through the riverbed during the flood season.
Su Ruyi walked along the riverbank toward the village.
The Su family did not split up; the whole family lived in a large courtyard by the river.
The courtyard was so dilapidated that it looked like it would collapse at any moment.
In this old house, besides Su Xueshu and Sun Qiaomei, lived Su Dazhi's four younger brothers—Su Dali, Su Daxiao, Su Dade, and Su Dajian—as well as their respective wives and children.
The old house has been expanded with side rooms, wing rooms, and partitions several times. Basically, wherever there was room to add something, a crooked house was built and people moved in.
Now, the entire Su family's old house is like a rat hole, crammed full.
In total, there are more than twenty people here and there.
Su Dazhi also has three older sisters who are married, all of whom are from the same village.
It can be said that if anything happens, they can get a huge response.
Su Ruyi stood in front of the courtyard gate, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
Soon, a strange middle-aged woman opened the door, her beady, beady eyes scanning her up and down: "What do you want?!"
"I'm looking for Su Xueshu." Su Ruyi didn't stand on ceremony with her.
This woman is probably the wife of one of Su Dazhi's brothers.
Hearing that she was looking for her father-in-law, the woman became more polite: "Come in."
Su Xueshu had long since stopped working in the fields. He was lying on a wooden rocking chair that occupied most of the open space in the yard, puffing on his pipe. There was a bottle of wine and a plate of dry-fried peanuts on the ground next to him.
Su Ruyi recognized at a glance that the rocking chair was made from the leftover part of the jujube tree in the Su residence in Haicheng after it was used to make a cabinet!
This old man certainly knows how to enjoy life!
It seems that Su Dazhi's monthly income of 15 yuan makes him live quite comfortably.
Su Xueshu raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Ruyi. Seeing that she was a beautiful unfamiliar girl, he was taken aback. He sat up straight with a creak and asked in a pretentious tone, "Looking for me? Whose daughter are you?"
"I am Su Dazhi's daughter. I have something important to tell you." Su Ruyi said expressionlessly.
"Dazhi's daughter? Which one?" Su Xueshu frowned as he tried to remember.
“My name is Su Zhenzhu.” With that, Su Ruyi stepped forward and whispered in his ear, “When Su Dazhi first came to the city, he assumed the identity of a city dweller, and that person was also named Su Dazhi…”
She explained the whole story of Su Dazhi impersonating someone else to Su Xueshu in detail, and then added, "Su Dazhi's salary has long been over a hundred yuan, but he has been lying to you that it was only 38 yuan."
After hearing this, Su Xueshu stared at Su Ruyi for a long while, then looked at her with a complicated expression: "Pearl, did you and your father have a fight?"
"That's none of your business! My affairs are none of your concern." After saying that, Su Ruyi turned to leave.
"Stop!" Su Xueshu stood up from the rocking chair and pointed at her. "You rushed here to report this, all red-faced, tattling on your old man. What are you up to? You little slut, you even want to harm your own father! How could my Su family produce such a disgrace! A scoundrel!"
Seeing Su Xueshu's sanctimonious appearance, Su Ruyi almost burst out laughing: "Su Xueshu, stop pretending. I do have a grudge against Su Dazhi, so what? Let me tell you, there are four hundred catties of grain stored up at home right now! I've also notified Guan Yumei's family—those who go early will get something. If you go late, you'll get nothing!"
