Chapter 180 Tips
"Zhao Yan, it's time for dinner!" Mrs. Du shouted.
Something strange happened today. The three brothers Shi Yan, Chen Yan and Zhao Yan from the second house didn't come out for a long time. They were nowhere to be seen at dinner time.
"Shi Yan, Chen Yan?" After calling a few times without any response, Mrs. Du called the two older ones again, but still no response.
"Husband, please go and see why I am sleeping so soundly today." Mrs. Du was not in a position to go in.
"Shi Yan!" Su Bucheng shouted, but there was no response.
I reached out and pushed the door, which opened. It was empty inside, with the quilt neatly folded.
"Where is the person? Where did he go?" Mrs. Du asked in surprise.
When the whole family heard the news, they were all stunned.
"It's freezing cold, and you're carrying a child with you. What are you thinking? Can you really get out of Wu County?"
Wei felt that the people in the second house had inherited Xiao Qin's true teachings and were very confused.
"Stop talking!" Su Laosan shouted at his wife. Didn't he see the ugly expressions on his brother, sister-in-law and mother's faces?
When Su Bucheng heard Wei's words, he had some vague guesses in his mind.
"What a bunch of fools!" Old Mrs. Su was so angry that her chest hurt.
Several grandchildren ran away, obviously because they were dissatisfied with Su Laoer's remarriage. I guess they listened to what I said last night.
"Eat!" Su Bucheng said with a gloomy face.
"Sister, they left before mother!" Atang pulled Su Ying and whispered.
Atang is the youngest. Having lived with wild beasts, he is naturally alert and can sense any slight noise.
Before Mrs. Du got up to make breakfast, Atang heard rustling footsteps, but since it was a family member, he didn't think much of it and turned over and went back to sleep.
"Well, Atang is so smart!" Su Ying moved her sister's head, "Let's go and eat!"
Su Ying understood but did not agree with the three brothers' actions, and even sympathized with them for having such a worrying mother and sister.
As a son, protecting your mother is your duty and there is nothing wrong with it.
Just bringing Xiao Qin and Su He back would probably end up shooting himself in the foot.
The marriage between Second Uncle and Yang Chunhua is absolutely set in stone. The Yang family is no pushover. It will be difficult for Xiao Qinshi to disrupt the situation!
The Yang family is not as soft-hearted as the Su family, and Xiao Qinshi will not get any advantage.
Besides, if she stays around, it will be difficult for these three brothers to get married.
With her confused attitude, even if she is lucky enough to get a wife, she can still break up the relationship.
Alas, the peaceful days will not last for a few days before trouble comes again!
"Uncle Wang, what's wrong?" Su Ying saw that Wang Sanlang was depressed and not as talkative and cheerful as before.
"Nothing!" Wang Sanlang forced a smile, with a frown between his brows.
"What happened? Why are you so bitter and vengeful?" Su Ying asked.
"There will be a happy event in your family, but you don't know it," Wang Sanlang smiled bitterly.
"I know. Why is Mr. Wang unhappy?" Su Ying asked in a low voice.
"Alas, it should be a happy thing, but you know the situation of my uncle's family. Who can bear it?" Wang Sanlang sighed.
"Actually, Mr. Wang should be happy!" Su Ying said indifferently.
"Happy? How can I be happy? Having a daughter-in-law means at least there will be someone to take care of her in her old age. Now that Wulang's wife has remarried, who will take care of her?" Wang Sanlang laughed angrily.
"Come on, isn't it that Mr. Wang is just thinking about having someone serve tea and water by his bedside? Could it be that after a hundred years, when he goes up the mountain, he will still make my sister smash pots and banners?
Isn't it all for the descendants of the Wang family? My sister won't get any of this." Su Ying pointed it out.
When serving, women work hard, and when they are buried in the mountains for a hundred years, you have no part in the filial sons and grandsons breaking pots and beating banners. It's boring just to think about it.
"It has been like this since ancient times!" Wang Sanlang's voice weakened.
"Your Wang family has many sons and nephews, and there is no shortage of bedside attendants. Why not adopt one of them? Then he can inherit his land and property.
There are many fields in Wangcun’s hometown. Although the two old people have poor back and legs, they don’t rest, so the burden on their stepson is not heavy.
Besides, nephews and nieces are related by blood, but daughters-in-law are not. So, who is closer, distant or close? Who are you closer to?" Su Ying asked.
Those fields were cultivated with the help of the Yang family over the years. It’s really a bargain for the Wang family!
Wang Sanlang fell silent. He had thought about this suggestion, but his uncle was angry and he was afraid that his uncle would get hurt if he proposed it rashly.
Different people have completely different feelings about the same thing from different perspectives and at different time points.
When the topic of adopting a son was brought up a few days ago, Old Man Wang was simply happy that there would be someone to carry on his legacy.
Bringing it up now would only make people think too much, thinking that his clansmen were taking advantage of his old age and frailty to seize his property!
"What? Mr. Wang doesn't agree?" Su Ying saw that Wang Sanlang didn't say anything.
"We had a quarrel at the village chief's house last night, and my uncle is still angry..."
"Take it slow. Things will eventually work out. After a while, when his anger has subsided, maybe he will take the initiative to bring up this matter!" Su Ying patted Wang Sanlang.
Having come through so many storms, what’s this little thing?
"It's true after your analysis!" Wang Sanlang suddenly understood and his frown was no longer frowning.
"How's your family doing? The new house is built, just in time for you to get married! Double happiness!" Wang Sanlang teased.
"Oh, stop talking! This is a mysterious thing!" Now it was Su Ying's turn to sigh.
"What? The old lady doesn't agree, or your second uncle doesn't agree?" Wang Sanlang was very surprised. The two of them were such a perfect match.
"Neither!" Su Ying smiled bitterly, "It's my troublesome ex-second aunt!"
"The former second aunt? What does it have to do with her? She has already remarried, how could she rebel? Want to revive the Second Fire?" Wang Sanlang looked at Su Ying in shock.
Although they are all fugitives from Huanggou Village, their backgrounds are different, and the rich and powerful families and the poor and small families are clearly different.
Even if the wealthy families like Wang Sanlang fell into decline, it was only twenty years ago. The older generation was still around, and these young and strong people received strict education back then.
They attach great importance to family rules and have strict family laws. They have a strong sense of belonging to the family and no one dares to disobey their superiors or act arrogantly.
The Su family has no background, is very concerned about reputation, and believes in convincing others with reason.
It works for people with normal brains, but for a fool like Xiao Qinshi who doesn't know what he's talking about, or a person like Su He who has no sense of reverence, it's better to convince them with martial virtue than with reason.
It was difficult to be ruthless when punishing them, and the mother and daughter were like cockroaches that could not be killed, and they fell back into their old ways again and again.
"You don't understand, those people who can't be killed and are not afraid of beatings are very troublesome!" Su Ying thought of the bad things in her second uncle's family and felt annoyed!
"What's so annoying! You guys, let me put it bluntly, you're just trying to save face and suffer in vain!
This kind of disobedient, ignorant of human language, and bringing shame to the family, if it were our Wang family, we would have beaten him to death with sticks long ago, and the whole family would have watched the execution as a warning to others."
Wang Sanlang shook his head and said that the Su family was still not ready.
"She is my cousin's mother after all. If she were to be beaten to death, it would definitely create rifts between the families! Besides, her crime doesn't deserve the death penalty!"
Su Ying didn't expect Wang Sanlang to speak so lightly about human life. The wealthy families indeed had strict rules.
"Look at you, with your attitude, what do you think they have to fear? They know you can't do anything to them, so they're jumping around happily.
This is the difference between poor families and wealthy families. Aristocratic families put the entire family first. To enjoy the family's protection and blessings, one must obey the family's control.
All people and things that endanger the interests of the entire family will never be forgiven and will not be severely punished. How can such a big family prosper, survive in this world, and be passed down for thousands of years?
Being lenient towards them would sacrifice the interests of the vast majority of the tribe! Not punishing them severely would only encourage others to follow suit!
"Tell me, which is more serious? Isn't this a crime punishable by death? Those who achieve great things must avoid being soft-hearted!" Wang Sanlang advised.
