Su Lu did indeed accomplish something significant. He went to the Su family home alone, and after entering, he sat silently in a chair. The whole family looked at him with suspicion, not daring to utter a sound. After waiting for a long time, just when Su Lu was about to give up, Su Zhiyuan finally mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice.
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your daughter-in-law?"
Su Lu rolled her eyes inwardly.
You just had a fight with your wife! Can't you wish me well for once? Is this your real father?
On the surface, Su Lu's eyes reddened after Su Zhiyuan's words, and she looked up at Su Zhiyuan with a sob in her voice, not saying a word.
Su Zhiyuan became anxious, "What's wrong with you? Did you really have a fight with your daughter-in-law? Did she hit you?"
Su Lu almost lost his composure because of Su Zhiyuan's two sentences. He quickly lowered his head and rolled his eyes again.
"My wife isn't that violent."
Su Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "You didn't argue, so what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Wan Guihua couldn't hold back any longer. She pushed Su Zhiyuan aside and asked urgently, "Tell your mother, what happened? Why are you crying?"
You've never cried since you were a child. Even when you were naughty or got punished, you never shed a tear. Now you're grown up, married, and suddenly you're crying. You must be going through something big.
Su Lu sighed, raised his head, and looked pitifully at Wan Guihua, "Mother, my... my wife was bullied."
Upon hearing this, Wan Guihua couldn't help but roll her eyes, then sat down indifferently, turning her head away from Su Lu.
Wan Guihua clearly didn't want to get involved in Qin Xiaoxiao's affairs.
Su Lu was hurt by Wan Guihua's actions, and the wound that was already there was reopened.
Yes, he did intend to use the Su family, but Wan Guihua was his own mother. If Qin Xiaoxiao was bullied, it was the same as him being bullied. Instead of helping him get revenge, she calmly sat down and didn't care about them at all.
Su Lu had hesitated before coming here, wondering whether he should do this. Now, he has made up his mind: he will use the Su family to help his wife get revenge.
Thinking of this, Su Lu took one last look at Wan Guihua and slowly lowered his head.
Su Zhiyuan couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened? Your daughter-in-law was bullied, and instead of seeking help from the Qin family, you came home to us. What do you mean by that? What's your purpose?"
As soon as Su Zhiyuan opened his mouth, he immediately judged Su Lu as a bastard and unfilial son who wanted to take advantage of the Su family. Although that was the case, you can't doubt your own son, can you?
Su Lu's heart grew even colder.
"To be honest, this morning Xiaoxiao was working in the fields when she ran into Zhou Ying, a former educated youth. After several hints, Xiaoxiao found out that Zhou Ying was pregnant."
Su Lu then recounted what had happened. Su Zhiyuan and Wan Guihua listened without saying a word until Su Lu finished speaking, after which they fell silent again.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Su Lu narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and said with a hint of dejection, "I know you don't want to get involved or help us. I never intended to ask for your help. I was just... just in a bad mood, so I came out for a walk and ended up here. I don't know how I ended up here. When I came to my senses, I was already sitting here."
Forget it, what's the point of saying all this? We've already separated; we're two separate families now. It's only right that we don't help each other.
I'm leaving. You all can rest now.
After Su Lu finished speaking, he stood up and slowly walked towards the door.
One, two, three, four, here they come.
Su Lu counted silently, and when he reached the fifth count, Su Zhiyuan spoke up.
"Wait a moment."
Su Lu stopped walking, but didn't turn around. After a long silence, he slowly turned around and looked at Su Zhiyuan. "Father, is there anything else?"
Su Zhiyuan called out to Su Lu but then fell silent. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few deep drags. "You still don't have a wife?"
Su Lu shook his head, "We've only been married for a few months, how could it be so soon? Besides, Xiaoxiao's body hasn't fully recovered yet. We agreed not to have children for now, and to have two children in three years after she's fully recovered."
Wan Guihua snorted coldly, "Having two children in three years? That's quite a boast. With her frail body, it's a miracle she even got pregnant. I think you're destined to have only one child in your life, and it'll be hard for you to have a second one."
What Wan Guihua really wanted to say was that Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao would hardly have children in their lives, but the person in front of her was her own son. If her son didn't have children, she wouldn't have any grandchildren, so what good would that do her? Once she said that, her son would probably become even more estranged from her.
Upon hearing this, Su Lu closed his eyes, concealing the fleeting ferocity in them.
If she weren't his own mother, he would have given her two big breasts no matter what.
It's not that he's unfilial, but that his mother is going too far.
He had been enduring all this for the sake of his family, and as he endured it, they got used to exploiting him and looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. On the surface, they doted on him, but in reality, they only wanted to get money from him.
He's raised three older brothers and their families for so many years, isn't that enough? But they're still not satisfied. Do they want to squeeze every last drop out of him before they're satisfied?
Disappointment accumulates little by little. When he opened this home after building houses for them, he thought he was already very disappointed, but he didn't expect that he could be even more disappointed.
Su Lu desperately wanted to know, could they disappoint him any more? What else could they do to him?
Just as Su Lu lowered his head, Su Zhiyuan glared at Wan Guihua, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
The three Su brothers, who were watching the commotion from the sidelines, exchanged glances, their smiles barely concealed.
Su Ming, as the eldest, spoke first.
"Fourth brother, don't blame your mother for speaking harshly. With your wife's health, what I said is really true. This is only because she is my own mother, and I don't hold back in my words. If it were an outsider, they would probably say even harsher things."
Su Qi nodded, "Fourth brother, what your mother said is actually true. You yourself said that your wife's health is not good, and childbirth is no different from walking through the gates of hell. Rather than risking having a child, you should take better care of your nephew."
Wan Guihua's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she looked at Su Lu expectantly.
“Your second brother is right. Why don’t you two not have any more children? Your third brother already has two sons, and the eldest is still young. Why don’t you adopt the eldest son into your family? That way, your wife won’t have to give birth, which will protect her health, and you’ll still have a son to break the pot. Isn’t that a great thing?”
Wan Guihua clapped her hands and smiled from ear to ear.
Su Lu was stunned and stared at Wan Guihua in disbelief.
Here it comes, and more disappointment has finally arrived.
At this moment, Su Lu was completely disappointed with the Su family, to the point of having no hope whatsoever.
Let him be adopted? How could they even say that?
Why make him raise his nephew and then smash a basin for him after his death?
Haha, his nephew is so grown up, how could he not know who his real father is? Once he raises the child and he inherits everything from him and the little one, then he can turn around and be filial to his real parents.
Do you think he's the one who's complaining the most?
