Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The sweet and fragrant wild lychees...
Su Tianli looked at Su Youzi.
Yes, there are four children in the family, three girls and one boy, and only Su Youzi looks different from everyone else.
To be precise, Su Tianli and the third and fourth children look like their father, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and oval faces;
Su Youzi looks like her mother, with thin eyebrows, thin eyes and a pointed face.
When she was young, Su Tianli once asked people why her eldest sister looked different from her and her younger brothers and sisters.
Most people gave her the answer that, “Siblings, the younger ones are usually prettier than the older ones!” Because when their parents gave birth to their first child, their family was poor! Later, when their living conditions improved and their parents had better food, their children were born smart and beautiful.
Su Tianli believed it.
So every time when my mother favors Su Youzi,
Su Tianli would console herself: Forget it, when my mother gave birth to my eldest sister, our family was poor and we couldn’t afford good food, so she loved my eldest sister even more…
And the eldest sister's appearance is also hard to describe.
Su Tianli would comfort herself - it is understandable that a mother wants to protect the weakest child in the family.
However, Su Tianli had never thought about this question - is it possible that Su Youzi's last name is not Su?!
At this time, Tian Xiu had come back to his senses.
"Bullshit!" Tian Xiu roared!
At this moment, Su Youzi was still lying on the coffee table wailing, his chin resting on Tian Xiu's legs;
Tian Xiu, furious, pushed Su Youzi away without a care in the world, stood up, rushed towards Su Tianli, and raised his hand high!
Yes, Su Tianli is deliberately making trouble.
But she didn't like being beaten.
So she quickly rushed to the door, and secretly hoped in her heart - please, please, there must be some onlookers outside the door!
Just like that, Su Tianli ran towards the gate quickly.
Tian Xiu wanted to catch up with Su Tianli, but Su Youzi blocked her way...
When she went around and caught up with him with a feather duster in her hand,
Su Tianli has already opened the door.
Then--
As Su Tianli wished, she saw a crowd of people outside her house.
A small number of them came over from the tube-shaped building next door!
Everyone's eyes were sparkling with gossip.
Some were eating melon seeds, some were holding a piece of watermelon rind and chewing it until only the white flesh was left...
Su Tianli immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When he heard Tian Xiu angrily scolding "You bad girl" and felt a strong wind coming from behind,
Su Tianli quickly dived into the crowd!
Then, Tian Xiu rushed over with a feather duster and hit a spectator who was watching the excitement with relish.
"Ouch!" The old lady screamed after being beaten.
The old lady and her daughters-in-law were not happy.
"Hey, hey, hey, Tian Xiu, watch out! Where are you hitting? You're hitting my mother-in-law!"
"My mother-in-law has heart disease and high blood pressure, please don't mess around!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much! It hurts so much! Tian Xiu, isn't Lizhi your biological daughter? Why did you beat her so hard? Ouch, it hurts so much... Please don't hurt me, an old man!"
Tian Xiu was ashamed, embarrassed and angry, and cursed: "Who told you to block my door?"
The old lady's daughter-in-law was also angry. She put her hands on her hips and argued with Tian Xiu, "What do you mean by your door? We are standing in the corridor! We are not entering your house! This corridor is a public area, anyone can walk there!"
"You hit someone without paying attention... Do you think you are right?"
Tian Xiu was stunned, "You——"
The old lady's other daughter-in-law had already found Tian Xiu's superior Aunt Cao from the crowd of onlookers and was still grabbing Aunt Cao, "Aunt Cao, look! Your department was named this year's model unit for spiritual civilization! But Tian Xiu is only this good!"
Aunt Cao quickly winked at Tian Xiu: Apologize quickly! Quickly!
Tian Xiu was embarrassed and angry, but she could only apologize to the old lady quietly, "Yes, I'm sorry!"
The old lady was still a little unhappy. She rubbed the place where she was hit and asked gossipingly, "Hey Tian Xiu, the second child is really not your biological child?"
Tian Xiu was instantly furious again, "Nonsense! They were all mine! When I gave birth to them, I was at work. When my belly started to get bigger, I went to the hospital to give birth... You saw it all clearly!"
"It's all because of our stubborn second brother! She accused me of favoring her sister. Why did you take it so seriously when we just had a few words?"
Aunt Cao quickly said to everyone, "Yes, yes, yes! Everyone, please stop spreading rumors!"
"I can guarantee everything else, but we all saw what happened to Tian Xiusheng's children! There is absolutely no problem with this..."
The beaten old lady asked again, "Tian Xiu, your eldest, second and third children are all girls, why do you have to favor the eldest? I think your eldest child is the ugliest, and she is also lazy and good at eating. She is basically a waste!"
"Your second child is so nice, so pretty, and she's a nurse..."
"How is the eldest better than the second? Why are you so partial?"
Tian Xiu angrily said: "I am not partial! I treat them all equally!"
Someone in the crowd said, "Why didn't your eldest go to the countryside to work in the fields? Instead, your second child went to the countryside before he was 18, and your third child also went to the countryside before he was 18... Your eldest child has all her limbs and intelligence intact, so why didn't she go to the countryside?"
Tian Xiu was speechless.
Su Tianli hid in the crowd and laughed secretly.
She knew that it was time to add fuel to the fire!
"Mom, I don't accept it!" Su Tianli yelled, "...I strongly demand it! In this family, my younger brother and I...and the third child who hasn't come back yet, I demand that the four of us siblings enjoy the same treatment!"
As soon as these words came out,
The onlookers were excited again!
Everyone started to chatter:
"What did Lizhi say? Why didn't I understand?"
"Lizhi said that she wanted the four siblings to enjoy equal treatment at home!"
"I know I heard it clearly! What I mean is - even Su Tiancai in the Su family can't beat Su Youzi?"
"You are talking nonsense, aren't you? In their family, before the second and third children went to the countryside, they were the babysitters! After the second and third children went to the countryside, the fourth child became the babysitter!"
"Yes, yes, yes. She might have done it before lychees were introduced to the countryside. She was only seven or eight years old, but she took care of all the housework and was good at finding money. She could find bamboo shoots, mushrooms, wild yam, and wild konjac in the mountains, and she was also good at catching dace in the Pearl River..."
"Wait! I still can't believe that Su Tiancai is not the most favored one in their family? But Su Tiancai is a son! Think about the names of Su Tiancai's three sisters! What's the saying "one son after another"? Doesn't this prove that Tian Xiu dreams of having a son? How come now that she has this son, she doesn't love him anymore, and instead favors her eldest daughter? I don't understand, I don't comprehend!"
…
What this person said at the end resonated with everyone.
So everyone put the two protagonists, Tian Xiu and Su Tianli, aside.
And in front of them, they started to discuss passionately, "Su Tiancai, as a son, is not the most favored one in the family", and "Su Youzi is obviously lazy, greedy, and likes to steal money. What are her advantages that deserve Tian Xiu's favoritism?"
The discussions of the people made Su Tianli recall the hard days in the past.
yes,
Tian Xiu's partiality was really blatant from the very beginning!
But Su Tianli was too young at that time and couldn't resist.
——She would be bullied if she stayed in her hometown, and she would be bullied if she stayed in Guangzhou. But Guangzhou is a big city after all, and the chemical factory is very remote. The mountain products in the back mountain are not inferior to those in her hometown. It is relatively easy to fill her stomach, and there is also the opportunity to go to school, so she took her third sister back to Guangzhou.
From the age of seven to seventeen, those were the hardest and most painful ten years for Su Tianli.
All the previous things,
When I recall it, I am filled with tears and blood!
Now?
She no longer needs to rely on her parents...
Of course, run first to show respect!
So Su Tianli shouted, "Mom! Explain it to me clearly! If I don't explain it clearly today, I can't live like this!"
"Mom, I want to ask you—"
"First of all, I was clearly asked to go to the countryside to work in a production team in Jiangxi, but Su Youzi took He Wanqian's money and sent me to the Northwest! Are you not going to care about this? If you are not going to care, then I will call the police!"
"If you don't give me justice, I will go to the government and the country! There will always be a place to seek justice for me!" Su Tianli said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Tian Xiu suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared at Su Tianli hatefully.
The crowd, who had been gradually quieting down and were about to concentrate on watching the fun, became very excited after hearing this.
Now there was a buzzing sound, like a hornet's nest being disturbed:
Everyone was panic-stricken and chattered:
"Fuck, this matter is related to He Wanqian?"
"What? Su Youzi could do such a thing for money? Isn't this no different from murder? The Northwest is very different from Jiangxi! The Northwest seems to be a plateau area. If your body can't handle it, the altitude sickness will kill you!"
"This damn Su Youzi is simply a born bad guy! I didn't expect He Wanqian to be such a good-for-nothing!"
"Can you guys keep your voices down?"
"Stop making noise, stop making noise! Shhh—Lychee is talking again!"
Just like that, everyone was forced to be quiet again.
Su Tianli continued:
"...Secondly, after I arrived in the Northwest, I tried my best to send money home, but in the end, all the money was embezzled by Su Youzi. You and my father didn't pursue the matter... I don't care. I already gave you the money, but you didn't want it. If you are willing to give it to Su Youzi to spend, I have no objection!"
"But how could Su Youzi steal my money?"
"That's my hard-earned money! I saved it penny by penny! It's all the savings I've accumulated from working for five years!"
Next, Su Tianli continued to lay the groundwork:
"Mom, even if my grandma is my dad's stepmother, she and grandpa are legally married. You usually ignore her and don't support her. She is in good health and can find food to eat. She understands you and doesn't want to add burden to you. This is the old lady's love for you! But now she is sick and she needs money to see a doctor! You and my dad need to support her and pay for her treatment!"
"What happened? You drove her and Second Uncle's family away!"
"Now, do you want to drive me away again? After all, I haven't found a job yet, and my money was stolen by my elder sister! Mom, that's why you despise me. You want to force me to go back to when I was seven years old, shouldering everything at a young age, working like an ox or a horse, so that you and my elder sister can live a good life with nothing to offer you! Right?"
"Mom! I'm so disappointed! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth - if my money hadn't been stolen by my eldest sister, I wouldn't want to stay in this house for even a minute! After all, I don't have a penny on me. If I don't live at home, where would I eat and where would I live if I didn't have any money?"
Finally, Su Tianli said loudly with a look of grief and indignation: "Mom! Now I really can't bear it anymore!"
"Even if I have nothing! Even if I am penniless..."
"I can't stay in this house for another day!"
"Mom, since my elder sister is trying every means to drive me away, and you obey her every word..."
"Okay! I'll go! I'll go now! I'll do as you wish... okay?"
"I will starve to death outside! I will die of illness outside! I will...I will never set foot in this house again!"
Having said this, Su Tianli burst into tears, turned around and ran downstairs.
Su Tianli ran like this——
Tian Xiu was stunned.
She had never expected that things would suddenly turn out like this.
What is going on?
How come all of her family's secrets were suddenly exposed? !
Moreover, the peace that she had been trying so hard to whitewash and the dignity that she had been trying so hard to maintain also fell apart in an instant...
The mocking and contemptuous looks from the crowd, as well as their endless chatter, made her extremely nervous:
"Oh my god, is Tian Xiu so shameless? It's one thing to favor the eldest daughter, but why don't you support the elderly? Isn't this illegal?"
"It seems that the old lady is not Su Dejun's biological mother, but his stepmother!"
"What's wrong with a stepmother? Su Dejun didn't marry the old man until he was an adult! He was only five years old when his stepmother married his biological father! That stepmother raised Su Dejun from the age of five to his twenties with all her hard work!"
"The old lady is a very nice person. I chatted with her on the playground last night... How could such a nice person get such a disease!"
"Tian Xiu is so bad!"
"Why don't you talk about Su Dejun?"
"They are a couple! There is no way two families can sleep in the same bed!"
"You're right, they are so bad and disgusting!"
…
Tian Xiu was anxious, angry, and panic-stricken.
In the end, she had no choice but to run away, hid in the house, and slammed the door shut!
What no one knows is that,
Su Tianli is actually very happy and cheerful!
She pretended to cry, covering her face with her hands, and stumbled all the way out of the Su family, the tube-shaped building, and the chemical plant's family compound, and staggered to the nearby bus stop.
It was not yet ten o'clock and there was still a night bus, so she successfully got on the bus to Shaou Street.
Until you are sure there is no one you know in the car,
Su Tianli couldn't help but burst out laughing!
Very good!
It’s really great!
She successfully broke off completely with her family in front of the public.
From now on,
Even if I can't get rid of the bond of blood,
At least she doesn't have to come back to this place!
It feels so good!
