Chapter 27 The Patriarch is Mighty
When Sun Tu heard his uncle say this, he hesitated for a moment. After all, he had seen his mother get along with his grandmother. His mother was probably unhappy anyway. If she made a mistake this time, her life would definitely be even harder if she returned. After all, she was his own mother, so Sun Tu still felt a little sorry for her.
Sun Tu was even more worried that his mother had gotten used to a life where everyone had things handed to her, and that she would never be able to adapt to a life where she had to do everything herself when she returned.
When Zhou heard what Sun Dayong said and saw that her son hesitated, she immediately said, "I will stay in Yuanjing and not go anywhere."
"If you don't want to go back, just get out of here and go back to the Zhou family. Let's see if the Zhou family dares to want you, a troublemaker." Sun Dayong felt unlucky when he looked at Zhou. If he had known that her coming to Yuanjing would ruin Tu Ge'er's future, he and his mother should not have let her go with Tu Ge'er.
"Brother Tu." Seeing the clan leader's strong attitude, Zhou could only look at Sun Tu with hope.
However, an elder who hated evil could not help but say, "Chief, since they don't appreciate it, why are you dithering? Just expel them all from the clan."
Our entire clan has surrendered such an ungrateful person, and we accept our defeat. At worst, we can just wait for the next opportunity, but our clan members must not be like this kind of people. Who knows how much trouble they will bring in the future. Chief, please quickly exterminate the clan, and then we can go back today. There are a lot of things waiting for us at home!"
Sun Tu had seen the tribe members' enthusiasm for him, but this was the first time he saw disdain in their eyes. Even though he was the most successful person in the tribe, they still looked down on him, not even trying to hide it in front of so many people.
This was a bigger blow to Sun Tu than anything Sun Dayong had said to him. After all, Sun Dayong was his uncle, and he knew he wouldn't give up on him easily. But the same couldn't be said for his clansmen.
"Uncle." Sun Tu was just about to say something soft.
The tribesman immediately interrupted, "We are not worthy of being called uncle, Lord Sun. If you still remember the kindness of our tribesmen to you, we should be grateful if you don't cause trouble for us in the future."
The Ming people, besides being quite jealous of evil, were also more afraid of the Marquis of Wu'an's revenge. They all thought about it from their own perspective: if their daughters also found such a son-in-law, it would surely be much more excessive than what the Marquis of Wu'an had done.
Seeing the attitude of his clansmen, Sun Tu immediately knelt down with a thud. He was also panicked. If he was expelled from the clan, his career would be completely ruined, and he would never be able to return to his hometown. No one around him would trust him anymore. How could someone who was expelled from the family be a good person?
"Uncle, I'm willing to let my mother go back with you. Can you let Sun Yue stay? I'm worried that Sun Yue won't be able to marry a good man if she returns to her hometown." After Sun Tu said this, he looked at his mother and sister respectively.
When Zhou heard her son say this, she knew the situation was hopeless and collapsed to the ground in grief. She had finally gotten out of that place and had enjoyed a few years of good life, but now she was going back. What had she done all this trouble for?
When Zhao Lingmeng stopped the government spending, Zhou hadn't been afraid or regretful. She had always believed her son would handle everything. But at this moment, she truly regretted it.
Sun Yue, seeing her mother's fate was over, was terrified. She didn't want to return to a place where she had to work so hard every day just to keep from going hungry. She had seen so much power and wealth in Yuanjing over the years; how could she be willing to go back and marry a peasant or a poor scholar? Sun Yue cried as she looked at her brother, hoping she could stay.
Seeing this, Sun Dayong sighed deeply. He felt that letting Sun Yue go back was truly good for her. If she had offended her sister-in-law and was then married off casually, she would have been left with nothing to complain about. "Brother Tu, have you ever thought about this? If Zhou goes back, who will look after Sun Yue? Do you think your wife would take on this job?"
If this had happened before, Sun Tu would have definitely done it without hesitation, but now Sun Tu knew that Zhao Lingmeng would not care about Sun Yue's life or death. He could only hold on and say, "I'll find it for Sun Yue myself."
"Well, sure. Then where will she marry? I heard that this house belongs to your wife. Is she willing? Marrying into a good family requires a dowry. Have you saved money for her? Do you want to send your sister to marry a rich man? In two years, she will be thrown into a mass grave like a mat?"
Sun Dayong's questions were sharper than the last, and finally Sun Tu fell to the ground. Sun Tu had never been more aware of his own incompetence than now. Although he was also a seventh-rank official, in Yuanjing, even the Marquis of Wu'an didn't dare to say he could walk sideways, so what was he?
"Brother, don't send me back. I will be obedient. I will go and admit my mistake to my sister-in-law and beg her, please don't send me back." Sun Yue was extremely unwilling, and was willing to promise anything in order to stay.
Sun Dayong didn't want to be the villain, but since these were the only two offspring his brother left behind, he still had to persuade them. "Sun Yue, I know you don't want to go back, and I won't ask you what you did with Zhou. I just want to ask you, if you were your sister-in-law, would you still care about this kind of sister-in-law?"
Sun Yue thought about her past actions and knew clearly that she would not be able to do that. But she could still rely on her brother here. But if she went back, her mother would be strictly controlled by her grandmother. Who could she rely on?
Sun Yue looked at his brother and uncle firmly and fought hard: "Uncle, I don't want to go back."
"Okay, you can stay! But don't listen to your mother and don't mess with your sister-in-law. These noble ladies are not so easy to mess with. If they get angry, our entire clan won't be able to fill the gap."
Uncle still wants to warn you, if you do it again, you will be expelled from the clan. By then, there will be no place for you in the world."
Sun Dayong said such a long speech, and Sun Yue listened to it. When he heard that he could stay at the beginning, he was instantly overjoyed and looked at Sun Tu happily, "Brother, I can stay. Did you hear it? Did you hear it?"
"Uncle, I will take good care of my sister." Sun Tu quickly assured, fearing that his uncle would regret it.
Sun Dayong also looked at Sun Tu with an indescribable expression: "You'd better do this. If you do this again next time, even if I am the clan leader, I can't protect you."
"I won't do it again. What about Wang Xiaoyi?" After Sun Tu made the promise, he thought of the person who had been sitting on the ground.
"Of course you're supporting your aunt, what else can you do? What if you ask her to go back?" Sun Dayong felt a growing headache as he looked at Wang Xiaoyi. With someone like this constantly standing between Tu Ge'er and his wife, could their relationship truly be repaired?
