Chapter 213 213 The character's persona is about to collapse.
Seeing that Qin Feng ignored him, Su Ming was secretly annoyed that Qin Feng was not giving him face.
We're all relatives. Your eldest niece is about to marry into the Su family. I'm her brother-in-law. You don't give me any face at all. Aren't you afraid I'll make things difficult for her in the future?
Qin Feng didn't respond and just left Su Ming hanging. Su Ming had no choice but to ask his grandfather for help.
Old Master Su raised his eyelids slightly, but ultimately did not plead for him. He took two more puffs of his pipe, which choked him.
Seeing this, Su Ming closed his eyes briefly, then turned his head to look outside the courtyard.
When Qin Xiaoxiao arrived, he saw that no one came in to mediate the fight. Instead, they stood at the door watching the show like outsiders. Didn't she think that she would be ashamed if the Su family was embarrassed?
Since Qin Feng doesn't want to get involved, let his niece handle it. He wants to see if Qin Feng will step in when Qin Xiaoxiao is involved.
A sinister glint flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and he gave Qin Xiaoxiao a simple yet helpless smile.
“Qin Zhiqing, look, could you please plead for us? After all, we’ll be family sooner or later. If the Su family loses face, you’ll look bad too.”
Qin Xiaoxiao, who was watching the drama unfold, was speechless.
Enjoying other people's gossip is always satisfying, but when it happens to you, it's not so pleasant.
Qin Xiaoxiao sneered, shoved the melon seeds in her hand into Aunt Song's hand, and took a step forward. "Sorry, I, Qin Xiaoxiao, haven't even entered the Su family yet. We haven't even gotten engaged. Logically speaking, I'm not a member of the Su family. Whether the Su family is disgraced or not is none of my business."
However, I am a person who is easily empathetic. I feel ashamed for the Su family for their disgrace. Besides, the Su family and the Qin family have a long-standing friendship, and the elders of the two families have a deep relationship. If I really don't say anything, it seems a bit unreasonable.
This puts me in a difficult position.
"Alright, I'll just say so, taking advantage of my status as the brigade leader's niece. Whether it works or not is none of my business."
Qin Xiaoxiao, calm down. Don't do anything. You can't ruin your image. You can fix it later.
Qin Xiaoxiao silently reassured herself, and only after she calmed down did she smile and look at Qin Feng.
“Sir, the Su and Qin families have been friends for so long and know each other’s character very well. They probably didn’t do it on purpose. Why don’t we just leave it at that and let them handle their own affairs? It doesn’t seem right for us to get involved.”
They shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Even if someone's head is smashed into a dog's head, it's none of their concern. What if they accidentally hurt themselves? The Su family won't pay for their medical expenses.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded, "Xiao Xiao is right. Then I'll give her face and let's just leave it at that. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything about your attempt to forcibly occupy the three houses."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he glanced apologetically at Old Master Su and then left the Su family courtyard.
Qin Ye, who had been standing inside the main gate, came out with him. He had been guarding the gate and was not far from Qin Feng. If the Su family attacked too fiercely, he could drag Qin Feng out immediately to prevent him from getting involved in the Su family's struggle.
Qin Xiaoxiao gave Qin Ye a deep look and muttered to herself.
Her older cousin is no ordinary person. His years in the army have paid off; he's learned a lot. If given a chance, he'll definitely soar to great heights.
It seems she doesn't need to worry about the Qin family's future; her eldest cousin should know what's going on.
Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Feng was no longer concerned. However, he hadn't expected Qin Feng to withdraw from occupying the house in the Su family. He thought Qin Feng would try to persuade him again.
He's stopped trying to persuade me. What should I do next?
The third branch only has the three brothers, while the other branches have five brothers each, plus the adults from those branches. How could they possibly compete?
Although Grandma said the backyard belonged to the three families, if they really wanted to take it over, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't just demolish the house or move away, could they?
Su Ming has never considered that Su Lu's house construction would not include him. The reason he wants to occupy the house is simply to sell it for more money and keep it for himself.
Putting aside the fact that it was impossible, Su Ming had always had a very beautiful idea in mind, but he never considered whether Su Lu would be willing.
"No way, the backyard was also built by our Su family. Why should we have to pay to buy it?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family's main branch had been holding back for a long time, and she finally exploded after Qin Feng left the courtyard.
Su Qi walked up to Su Ming and said gently, "When we divided the family property, we said that the backyard belonged to our third branch. We've said that several times. Are you deaf?"
Pretending not to hear is not a good strategy. You'll have to face it sooner or later, so why bother?
"There are so many rooms in the backyard, you could buy two of them and that would be enough for you. There's no need to fight like this, is there?"
After Su Qi finished speaking, Su Guo stepped forward again with a smile on his face.
"Yes, we're all family, why fight like this? We can just divide it up, there's nothing to fight about."
Su Qi and Su Guo's words had practically sealed the deal; anyone who didn't know better would have thought Su Lu would be building a house with his three older brothers.
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned and looked at Qin Ye speechlessly, "What gives them the nerve to decide on the division of the three houses? They can divide the houses they live in, but what about the houses belonging to Su Lu and the four elderly people in the Su family?"
Qin Ye gently tugged at Qin Xiaoxiao's sleeve and whispered, "Don't worry about it, just watch the show."
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "I don't want to get involved, but if they drag me into it again, then don't blame me for being impolite."
You can let it go this time, but if you provoke her again, don't blame her for attacking indiscriminately.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the main branch sat down on the ground with a thud, slapping her thigh and wailing.
"Please come quickly and do something about this! The third branch of the Su family is bullying us. They're occupying the place without doing anything, and they won't let their own family members live in the house. They're just coldly watching us go without room to live. In the middle of winter, where are we supposed to sleep?"
This is murder; you are all murderers.
"I can't live anymore! I finally had a couple of peaceful days, and now I don't even have a place to live. These three families are really bullying me!"
The eldest daughter-in-law's outburst completely darkened the faces of Old Master Su and Old Madam Su.
Old Master Su stood up, his gaze sweeping over the Su family members present, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Boss, aren't you going to do anything about this?"
Old Master Su closed his eyes and smiled helplessly, "Dad, this is my daughter-in-law. As her father-in-law, I can't say much."
Grandpa Su looked at him with even more disappointment. "So, you're just going to watch her make a scene like this?"
The eldest son, Su, remained silent, clearly acquiescing to his eldest daughter-in-law's continued commotion.
Seeing that the eldest son of the Su family remained silent, the second daughter-in-law also sat down on the ground.
Then the three daughters-in-law of the second wife, not to be outdone, sat together with the two daughters-in-law of the first wife, all crying and accusing the third wife of being inhuman and trying to force them to their deaths.
