Chapter 43 Chapter 43 "Your mother and five...
"Your mother and fifth sister have cooked a rabbit for you to eat."
Father Su pretended not to notice his daughter crying and talked about other things.
"Roasted rabbit?" When she heard about food, Lian Gu suddenly raised her head and asked curiously.
"Yes, roasted rabbit. Does Aunt Lian like to eat rabbit?"
"I like it." Although Lian Gu had never eaten rabbit, for her, as long as it was not pig food, she liked it.
"Maybe Lian Gu likes braised pork? How about we take this meat back and make braised pork?"
"Great!! Aunt Lian loves braised pork the most!"
Walking in the afternoon sun, Su's father held Lian Gu in his arms, and his eldest daughter followed behind him. The three of them walked towards the Su family together.
.
When the Su family, Su's father and eldest sister Su Hong arrived home, it was already dusk. The sky gradually became darker. The hens took their newly hatched chicks back to the coop, and smoke from cooking slowly rose from other houses in the village.
But the Su family was completely silent, with no smoke or light. After a while, a sudden burst of crying could be heard.
"I am sorry to Daya. This is all my fault..." Chen covered her chest and cried heartbrokenly. She always thought that her daughter was just not liked by her husband's family. She always thought that life would be better if her daughter gave birth to a grandson for the Li family. She never thought that they were all lying. It turned out that her daughter and granddaughter had been living like this in the Li family all these years. Whenever Chen thought of her daughter and granddaughter being so hungry that they could only eat pig food, she felt like her heart was being cut by a knife. It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
Her beloved daughter, whom she had never beaten or scolded, never even said a harsh word to, was treated so badly by that vicious woman. It was all her fault. If she had been more careful, if she had listened to her mother-in-law and inquired more, her daughter wouldn't have ended up like this. She was bewildered, and she was the one who harmed her daughter...
"I'm also wrong..." Mrs. Wu wiped the tears from her eyes. If she had gone to take a closer look at it in person, maybe the situation wouldn't be like this now. If...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but turn her head away...
"It's my fault." In the twilight, Su's father seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
He couldn't be so selfish as to blame all the faults on his parents and wife. As a son, he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a son, and as a father, he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father, so his daughter suffered for so many years.
"I'm going to the Li family now and settle the score with them." Su Qingshan clenched his hands and was about to rush out.
"I'm going too." Su Qinghe followed closely behind, and so did Su Tao.
"I want to go too."
"stop."
Old Man Su suddenly spoke.
"It's dark now, what are you going to do?"
After saying this, Old Man Su paused.
"If we have to go, we'll go tomorrow morning."
I originally thought that the master was going to stop them and prevent him from causing trouble for the Li family, but I ended up hearing these words.
Su Qingshan stopped, only his clenched fists and heaving chest revealed his anger.
"Let's eat first. Big sister and Lian Gu must be hungry after walking such a long way." Su Li looked at Grandma Wu and Mother Chen and reminded them softly.
On this side, Lian Gu also jumped off Su Hong's legs and came to Chen and Wu Pozi.
"Grandpa, great-grandpa, don't cry."
"Don't cry, don't cry, Aunt Lian, be good and go eat with Grandpa, okay?"
"good!"
Chen wiped her tears and took her granddaughter's hand.
Mrs. Wu also wiped her tears and went into the house together.
Because of the arrival of elder sister Su Hong and Lian Gu, two oil lamps were specially lit tonight. On the dining table, there was braised rabbit with lettuce made by Su Li. The green lettuce was cut into dice and salted to remove the water, and then stewed together with the marinated and stir-fried rabbit meat. When the rabbit meat and lettuce changed color and absorbed the flavor, the dish was ready.
Because Su Li took into consideration that children cannot eat spicy food, she deliberately used less chili and seasoning, but the dish was still extremely delicious even with simple seasoning.
Lian Gu was eating so much that she couldn't even lift her head. She was using long chopsticks to poke at the rice like a chicken pecking at it.
"Auntie Lian, is it delicious?"
"Delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious!" Lian Gu said with rice in her mouth, her eyes curved, her face full of happiness and satisfaction. It turns out that meat is so delicious! She has never eaten it before! She can only watch her brother eat, but her brother is so fierce and won't let her eat!
Hearing her say this, Su Li picked up another piece of clean rabbit meat and put it into Lian Gu's bowl.
"Thank you, auntie." Aunt Lian sat on the bench, raised her little feet and thanked happily.
"You're welcome."
"Sister, you eat too." Su Li picked up another piece of rabbit meat and put it into her elder sister Su Hong's bowl.
Ever since she learned about what happened to the two, Su Li had felt an inexplicable stuffiness in her chest, as if it was stuck there and she didn't know how to dispel it. She could only try her best to be nicer to her elder sister and Lian Gu, hoping that she would feel better and not feel suffocated to the point of being unable to breathe.
"Little sister, you eat. There is so much in my bowl." Su Hong looked at the meat in her bowl that her grandparents and brothers and sisters had given her. It was almost piled up.
However, Su Li acted as if she didn't hear it and put it into the only empty corner of the bowl. The rabbit meat swayed for a while before it stabilized.
"Big sister, eat."
Su Hong's nose felt sore and she almost cried again, "Okay, I'll eat it."
She picked up the rabbit meat from the bowl and put it into her mouth. The lettuce was crispy and the rabbit meat was tender and delicious. It was a delicacy she had never tasted before. Thinking carefully, the last time she ate meat was a few years ago when her mother came to take care of her and stewed a nourishing chicken for her. She had never eaten meat since then. Most of the time, she ate sweet potatoes with Lian Gu. If there were no sweet potatoes, she would dig wild vegetables to eat. She would even sneak a few mouthfuls of pig food when she was very hungry. The reason she could only do it secretly was because if her mother-in-law found out, she would be beaten. She was fine, but Lian Gu couldn't bear it.
Su Hong had thought about taking Lian Gu back to her parents' home, but every time she thought about the situation there, her father, her brothers, and her two sisters, she held back and swallowed all the bitterness and tears.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about dying. When she really couldn’t bear it anymore, she also wanted to die. But Lian Gu was still young and she had so much time left to live. What would happen if she died? Neither her father nor her grandmother liked her, and Lian Gu’s life would probably be even more difficult.
So day after day, I have endured until now.
"Sister, eat more." Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe on the side also said.
"Okay." Su Hong said softly with tears in her eyes, and then she started eating.
Unfortunately, this meal was destined not to be as happy as usual. Everyone had their own thoughts and no one spoke for a while. Only occasionally did people ask Lian Gu and Su Hong to eat more.
.
After dinner, Chen went to the kitchen to boil water, Su Hong and Lian Gu went to take a bath first, and Su Li and Su Tao helped carry water in, but...
"Sister, what's on you?"
"Do they still beat people?"
In the room, Su Tao looked at the scars on her elder sister's body that had not yet healed and said angrily,
Su Li also saw it. The wounds were a mixture of blue and red, like they were caused by pinching or beating with a stick. There were also other injuries of different sizes that were difficult to distinguish. It looked very shocking.
Su Hong quickly put on her clothes, tied her belt, and hurriedly covered herself up.
"It's okay, don't tell mom and the others, I'm fine now."
However, the exclamation was heard by Chen who came to pour water.
"Daya, did they beat you?" Chen walked into the house in tears and said to her daughter who was skinny and covered in wounds.
"Mom, I'm fine." Su Hong let down the sleeves that were pulled up by Chen.
"How dare they... On what grounds do they..."
"Daya, I'm sorry."
"It's mother's fault, it's mother's fault." Chen couldn't help but hugged Su Hong and cried loudly.
She had thought that finding a man from a wealthy family for her daughter would at least save her from the hardship she had endured for the rest of her life, but she had never expected that the result would actually harm her...
Hearing this, Su Hong also shed tears. She used to hate her mother Chen. She hated her for asking her to endure it as long as there was nothing serious wrong when she proposed to divorce Li Chunsheng. Every time when she confided her troubles, she would just say that all women go through this. Yes, deep in Su Hong's heart, she herself was unwilling to admit that she hated her.
Hate her, don't love her enough.
But when Su Hong came back tonight and was hugged by her mother Chen again, and heard her mother crying and saying sorry to her, Su Hong couldn't help but forgive her in her heart.
"Daya, I'm sorry..."
"Mom, it's okay."
