Chapter 73: The Thousand-Year Disaster
"Ouch! Ouch!" Su He screamed in pain and hid behind Xiao Qin.
"You're rebelling! You still dare to hide!" Old Mrs. Su chased Su He and beat him.
Xiao Qinshi stopped her, "Mother, mother!"
"You uneducated thing, now that you have the guts, you order men around like this. Do you really think I'm dead? You can do whatever you want!
Raising a daughter who is just like you, with no respect for inferiority and no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth!" Old Madam Su turned her anger towards Xiao Qinshi and struck her with a stick several times.
"Ouch!" Xiao Qin had nowhere to hide, as Su He was behind her.
She hated it so much, but she didn't dare to fight back. The old lady's three sons wanted to tear her to pieces, so she had to endure it.
Old Madam Su was tired from beating her. She leaned on her cane and panted heavily. She ordered, "Shi Yan, go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
"Grandma!" Su Shiyan looked pleading.
"What? You don't listen to your father, and you don't listen to me, an old woman? Su He can't figure it out, and you, a scholar, can't figure it out either? Do you want to go to heaven too? Don't forget that your surname is Su!" Old Mrs. Su looked at Su Shiyan disappointedly.
Such a foolish mother will sooner or later drag down the descendants of the second wife.
Seeing how filial her grandson was, the old lady became even more convinced that she could not keep Xiao Qinshi and that they had to be separated as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless troubles and unrest in the family.
"Grandson dare not!" Su Shiyan lowered his head, stood up and went into the house to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Mother, mother! Jiu Niang was wrong, Jiu Niang was wrong!"
Xiao Qinshi didn't expect the old lady to be serious. She panicked and her knees went weak, so she knelt down and pulled the old lady to admit her mistake.
"Qin Jiuniang, you won't cry until you see the coffin!" The old lady looked down at little Qin.
"You can be stupid, you can be unintelligent, but you can't act like that. My Su family can't stand you acting like that! The descendants of my Su family can't have a mother like you."
"Mother, I know I was wrong! Please give me a chance to correct it! Mother! Please!" Xiao Qinshi cried with tears and snot all over her face.
I was really scared. How could a divorced woman, a middle-aged woman, survive in this wild Lingnan?
"Do you know you're wrong? I'll give you a chance? I'll give you a chance to break up my Su family?" The old lady stared at Xiao Qin with her triangular eyes, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"Second brother, write!" Old Mrs. Su ordered decisively.
"Erlang, Erlang, for the sake of our long-standing marriage, will you please spare Jiuniang? Ah!"
Xiao Qin crawled to her husband on her knees, hugged his thighs and begged him desperately.
Su Laoer lowered his hands and turned his head away, not looking at Xiao Qinshi.
It is said that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after one day of marriage, but there is also a saying that a poor couple is filled with a hundred sorrows.
When she was rich and prosperous, although she complained that he was not as capable as the first and third wives, she always regarded him as her heaven and her husband.
Occasionally there will be a little disagreement, but it can be solved by coaxing each other. It is a little fun between husband and wife.
Now in exile, he is no longer her heaven or her husband.
She yelled at him, ordered him around, and called him a loser. The tenderness and affection she used to have were gone, and her eyes were full of disgust and hatred.
This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go.
The end is in sight within three generations. Qin Jiuniang can only share wealth but not adversity.
Instead of quarreling every day, why don't you walk your own single-plank bridge and I walk mine, and let's be happy on our own!
"Shi Yan, grind the ink!" Su Lao Er sighed and said to his eldest son.
"Aye!" Su Shiyan's eyes were full of pain.
Su Laoer lowered his eyes, having made up his mind.
Seeing that the situation could not be reversed, Su Shiyan had no choice but to grind ink.
Su Laoer picked up his pen and wrote a letter of divorce.
"Wow, Erlang! You can't be so cruel! You can't be so heartless!" Xiao Qin's eyes were swollen from crying, but she couldn't change her husband's mind.
Apart from her daughter Su He who supported her and wept sorrowfully, no one from the first or third wives came to dissuade her. Xiao Qinshi was filled with hatred!
He glared at the people from the first and third wives with resentment, feeling that they were all sneering and wishing he could tear them to pieces.
"Take it!" Su Laoer handed the divorce letter to Xiao Qinshi.
"Su Lao Er, you are so cruel!" Xiao Qin cried and cursed.
"Mother!" Su He supported Xiao Qinshi, "Don't be afraid! Your daughter is with you!"
"Stop!" Old Madam Su called out to the mother and daughter. "From now on, Jiu Niang is no longer my Su family's daughter-in-law. It is not appropriate for her to share a room with the Second Son. You and your daughter should share a room with me!"
"Grandma, are you trying to force my mother to death? Is it necessary to humiliate my mother like this?" Su He questioned Old Lady Su.
"Pa!" Old Mrs. Su swung a stick.
"You bastard! Who are you talking to? I'm not your good-tempered father who lets you run wild!
I ignored you, but you came up to me! I was thinking of finding a family to marry you off to, but you insisted on coming forward! You ungrateful thing!
Boss, write: Su He has bad morals, bad words and deeds, and is to be expelled from the clan! "
"Ah!" Su He didn't expect that she was even worse off than her mother. She was furious and screamed, "You old woman, you're such a bully!"
Who would want a girl who has been expelled from the clan? Who would dare to want her?
Su He suddenly realized that the real ruthless person in the Su family was the old lady! She was ruthless and showed no mercy.
Su Laoer was also shocked and was about to plead for mercy when he heard Su He's crazy talk. After thinking about it, he remained silent.
Su Bucheng walked forward silently, picked up the pen and prepared to write.
"Uncle, don't you leave us any chance to survive?" Little Qin knelt down in front of Su Bucheng.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Su Bucheng stepped back in a hurry, but Xiao Qinshi held his thighs tightly.
"Qin Jiuniang, let go!" Su Laoer's face flushed with embarrassment, and he stepped forward to pull.
"No! You divorced me and expelled He'er from the clan! You want to kill me and my daughter! You won't give us any chance to survive! Woo woo..."
Xiao Qinshi felt like the sky had fallen. She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
"Alas!" Su Laosan watched this farce go on and on. "Mother, why don't you give He'er some time off? Let's find her a family in the village and send her off as soon as possible. This will keep our home quiet and give her a chance to survive!"
"Yes, yes! Mother, please leave He'er a way to live!" Xiao Qin nodded quickly. It is better to get married than to be expelled from the clan.
"Oh! You guys! If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences! Okay, I'm tired too! Let's leave it at that!" Old Mrs. Su walked away with a cane.
Xiao Qinshi and Su He followed the old lady back to the house crying, and dared not make trouble again.
Old Mrs. Su lay on the creaking bamboo bed, closing her eyes to rest, not looking at the confused mother and daughter.
If she doesn't step in, she won't be able to suppress this troublesome couple. If her eldest and second sons step in, not only will they not get anything good, but they will also get into trouble.
For the sake of the Su family, she is the only one who can be the bad guy!
I regret it! I regret it! If I had been tougher, I wouldn't have to marry such a fool!
How can this matter end so easily?
Crowded in this shabby house, seeing each other everywhere, how long can these mother and daughter live in peace? I'm really worried that they will instigate Shi Yan, Chen Yan, and Zhao Yan, causing discord among the brothers.
It's a disaster that will last for thousands of years!
