But Su Aobai definitely can't follow everyone's ideas.
"My mother, my mother just has a bit of a bad mouth, she can't sell Er Niang to Hualou."
His voice was trembling.
"My mother didn't scold me every day for being a freeloader who wasted the family's money and food. It was because I thought I was too useless that I wanted to help in the field. It was definitely not my mother who wanted to abolish me. leg."
Up to now, he is still speaking good things for Mrs. Li.
Su Youliang in the crowd frowned, why did he feel that... the second brother was speaking ironically on purpose?
He keeps saying no, but it falls in his ears, doesn't it mean that his mother has indeed done these things? His second brother seemed to be speaking for his mother, but in fact he proved his mother's crime.
Su Youliang's eyes fell on the honest face of the second brother, and then he quickly denied his own thoughts.
If the person who said this was the eldest brother, then he must have plotted his mother not to run away, but the second brother does not have this heart, and it is impossible to have such a mind.
In this family, if one must choose someone who listens to his mother's words the most, it is not the fourth child who is most loved by his mother, nor him, but the second child Su, the most ruthless stepson who is bullied by his mother. The consensus of Su Youwen brothers.
So the suspicion that there is food for food only existed for a moment, and it was quickly dispelled.
Even he, Li's own son, is like this, let alone outsiders.
Su Aobai's words just now fell into other people's ears and were directly filtered and translated.
My mother has a very poisonous mouth, she often scolds me and my daughter with these vicious words on weekdays!
After I was injured, my mother scolded me every day at home for free food, wasted money and food at home, and forced me to go to work in the fields!
Shrew! Poison queen!
Everyone looked at Mrs. Li with disapproving eyes.
"Kuishan, you should take care of your daughter-in-law, what a good second child, don't let your son feel cold."
The person who spoke was a family member of the Su family.
"Fuck your **** with our family's affairs!"
Mrs. Li pushed him back with one sentence. Ever since her son passed the examination as a scholar, Mrs. Li has become swollen. She felt that relying on her son's talent and her granddaughter's luck, it would be a matter of time before she passed the examination.
In the future, they will definitely be able to follow the old four into the city to enjoy the blessings. When they are masters and wives, these mud-legged people in the country will not be able to touch them in the future. It's as low as it gets.
Su Youliang didn't expect his mother to be so impulsive, and when he wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Their family is living a good life now, but their foundation is not stable, especially the fourth child, who is just a scholar, and he is not the only scholar in the village. Take the Wang family as an example, there are already more than a dozen scholars in the clan , There is also a master Juren, although he has moved to Fucheng, but he is rooted in his hometown, and he still maintains close contact with his branch. It is not easy for someone to torment you, a little scholar.
In addition, their host family is not the only scholar like his brother.
After the news that his younger brother passed the examination as a scholar, before going back to town to celebrate with his teachers and classmates, Su Youwen told Su Youliang to let him keep an eye on some old ladies and not let her get too complacent and offend some who shouldn't. offended person.
It's just that because of the seriousness of the second child's leg, Su Youliang, who has always been lazy, had to undertake heavy farm work, which caused his energy spent on his mother to be taken up. I don't know what Li Shi has done during this time. What a foolish thing, and his reputation has long been infamous.
In the original trajectory, the original body had a high fever, and Erniang begged to find a doctor. After surviving the menacing high fever, his leg injury was also properly treated, and he reluctantly went to work in the field two or three days later. . Because his leg was fine, during that time, Li Shi was not as irritable and irritable as he is now.
After a while, Su Youwen came back from the town, and accidentally learned that his mother had responded to some people's flattery, elevating him and depressing the son of the village chief's family, and immediately asked his mother to prepare a heavy gift and go to the village. The Chang family apologizes.
Because of Su Youwen's very sincere attitude, and because Li Shi took the lead in bowing his head, the gap between the two families did not deepen, and there was no such a good show between Wang Mashi and Li Shi.
Su Youliang didn't know about this secret festival, but he wondered why the village chief's wife was so concerned about Su Youniu's affairs.
Apart from this doubt, one thing is clear, that is, his mother has just offended a very prestigious clan elder in the Su family.
His head grew big in an instant, ghosts and snakes have their own ways, but don't underestimate the power of this humble little clan in the countryside, who knows if a person his mother offends casually will cause trouble for the family.
"Kui Shan, it turns out that your family is headed by a woman, and you are just a display?"
The face of the elder clan who was ridiculed by Li's words turned blue, and he was angrily, and his beards on both sides were blown up by the forceful airflow.
He didn't talk to shrews like Li, so he questioned Su Kuishan, a man from his family.
"uncle-"
Su Kuishan's complexion is not very good-looking either. Those people's mocking eyes fell on him, as if a blade were cutting his flesh. Su Kuishan is the best face, otherwise he wouldn't have passed the exam because of his youngest son. As a scholar, he changed his original intention of wanting to support his eldest son in the elderly.
He felt that he was really ashamed today.
Blame Mrs. Li for his ugly eating, and let him go to work in the fields when the second child is like this, and blame the second son for being too stupid, for provoking a group of women who are so difficult to mess with, and let the whole village see the scandal of his family .
"Hey, don't talk about Mrs. Li, I'll just ask you, what do you decide to do with your second child? His leg is probably useless, and he won't be able to do heavy work in the future. He also has problems with marriage. Now he is the second mother, the girl. Girls are going to get married sooner or later, who will take care of the second child, now that everyone is here, give me an explanation."
The clan elder spoke up.
Su Lao Er's wife has passed away for nearly eight years. During these eight years, Su Kuishan and his wife have never told him about their marriage. They didn't before, and now that Su Lao Er has a lame leg, it is even more impossible. .
Who wants to marry a crippled man, not to mention being a ready-made stepmother, but also endure a vicious stepmother-in-law like Li Shi, unless they give a lot of money, those who don't love their daughters may agree for the sake of money, But what about Lee? Is she willing to spend money for Su's second son, his stepson?
Su Kuishan could hear the uncle's dissatisfaction. Although he also resented these people for interfering with his family affairs in his heart, he still had to respect these elders on the surface.
"Take care, definitely take care of him, and his brothers will take care of him too."
Su Kuishan laughed to smooth things over.
"Pooh!"
Li Shi jumped out again, neither Su Youliang nor his wife Xiao Li could stop her.
"If you want to be raised by the eldest brother, this is the brother born to the same mother. I can see it, because I am a daughter-in-law who came in late, and you all don't like me, even if I gave birth to such a promising old man." Four, you all look down on me."
Li's is like a firecracker, just ignite it.
Now that Su Aobai is the fire lead, Li Shi was already worried about his burden, but now these outsiders mean not only to let them raise this trash, but also to let her grandson take care of this trash In his later years, how could Mrs. Li tolerate it.
Her sons will be prosperous in the future, and the two born before her can't touch her in the slightest.
Simply talking about this, Li Shi is not afraid of tearing her face, anyway, after her son is admitted to Juren, these people will still come to curry favor with her, and now they can gossip here only because her son is still standing It's not tall enough, otherwise, she wouldn't be wronged like this.
"Separate family! Since you all think that my stepmother is vicious and bullying the second child and the others, then you should simply separate the family. Anyway, the youngest in the family is about to become a father, and it is not appropriate for them to live together. "
Li's words were astonishing, and he directly mentioned the separation.
The original purpose of these people who come to work for the second child is to make the couple promise to treat the second child better in the future. If the family is separated, how will a lame man live with a little girl? Think with your eyes As soon as you think about it, you know that Mrs. Li will never give anything good to the boss and the second.
Moreover, Su Laoer's injuries have not healed yet, and he doesn't know how much money will be spent in the follow-up. Li's proposal to separate the family now is to force Su Laoer to die.
Doing bad things with good intentions, even Wang Mashi, who came here for other purposes, was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Su Aobai with guilty eyes.
"No separation, I don't want separation, mother, you said before that you will treat me very well, and let me help you take care of me in the future!"
Su Aobai burst into tears, with tears and snot running down his nose, as if he was frightened by the words of separation.
"When did I ever say that?"
Mrs. Li spat at him, she has a son, how could she need this stepson to take care of her.
The people around also had the same doubts, but soon everyone figured it out. This sentence may have been said by Mrs. Li when Su Laoer was very young.
Mrs. Li was not too young when she married in. When she didn't know if she would be able to conceive, she was naturally very kind to Su's second child who was not very sensible, because if she really couldn't give birth, she would raise this little child well. Yes, there is no difference between the future and the biological one.
The change in her attitude towards this child came after she gave birth and confirmed that it was a boy.
"Anyway, we have to separate today. I don't want to be poked at the back and scolded by my stepmother anymore. From now on, everyone will live separately. You are at ease, and I am also relaxed. What do you say, my father, I can't live this life. If you If you don't agree to split the family, I will also go to the town to find Youwen, and I will live with them in the town from now on."
The threat in Li's words is obvious. If she doesn't separate her family, she will be separated from Su Kuishan.
Who here has seen such a bold and domineering woman? Who dares to say that she wants to live separately from her man? This Mrs. Li is really lawless.
But what's the use of being angry, Su Kuishan was eaten to death by such a woman.
He knew in his heart that the fourth child was more intimate with Li's mother. If Li really moved to the town to live with the fourth child, his relationship with the fourth child would be alienated.
That is his most promising son. He is already a scholar at a young age. In a few years, he will definitely become a master of Juren. When that time comes, the village chief will have to call him Mr. Su when he sees him.
Su Kuishan weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then squatted down and held his head, as if he was forced to do nothing and let the old woman go.
Su Youtian at the side looked at such an old man, and his heart sank.
In the past, he was able to fight against his stepmother in this family with two reasons, one was his wife's natal family, and the other was the importance his father attached to him.
But now it seems that after the fourth child was selected as a scholar, his position as the eldest son was replaced by him.
Su Youtian's mind cleared up in an instant. He used to want to fight with his stepmother. He, the eldest son, should occupy the majority of the family's fields and houses, but now that he is sober, he starts to think about separating the family and living independently. Wouldn't it be better to have a small day?
Compared with Su Youtian who never turned back against the south wall in his previous life, now that his second child is disabled, Su Youtian, who can clearly see the indifferent nature of his father, has embarked on a completely different path from his previous life.
But the family is separated, what about the second child?
Su Youtian definitely has feelings for this younger brother, but it's not deep. After all, this younger brother has been on the stepmother's side all these years.
He can help him occasionally, but he can't support him, making Su Youniu a burden for himself and even his son.
"Divide it up, share it happily!"
Seeing the old man's attitude, Mrs. Li was in a good mood immediately. She won the woman in front, and her son also won the son born by that woman.
"It can't be divided!"
Su Aobai's crying became even more horrific, and he even knelt on the ground regardless of his leg injury.
"Er Niang, you kneel down too, quickly kneel down with daddy, and beg your grandma not to separate the family."
He knelt on all fours and crawled forward, not only knelt himself, but also wanted to pull Erniang to kneel together.
The small cluster of flames in Su Erniang's eyes was completely extinguished, and her father was still the same...
"Er Niang, you can't divide, this family really can't be divided."
Su Aobai's face was full of panic. He had never been so sad when he learned that his leg might be abolished.
"I, I can't give birth. I can only have a daughter like Erniang in this life. If the family is separated, Erniang will not have a family in the future. Father, mother, I work, I work hard, you want me This life doesn't matter, please don't separate me out, what kind of life does a girl without a natal family live after she gets married? I don't want anything, so I beg you to let Erniang have someone to rely on, and let her cousins The cousins are all protecting Er Niang."
His words instantly exploded in everyone's ears, and even Su Erniang, who was already in despair, widened her eyes instantly.
Su Laoer can't give birth anymore!
There has never been any rumors about this matter in the village, but since the second son of Su has said so, there must be no falsehood, which man would joke about such a thing.
But in this way, the reason why he has become more honest and silent these years seems more reasonable.
Because there is only one daughter like Su Erniang, he must work hard and contribute a lot to the family, so that his nephews will also be grateful for his second uncle/uncle.
In addition, he also made his daughter work hard and prevented her from competing with the brothers and sisters in the next room. It was also to let her develop a good friendship with those brothers and sisters, so that if something happened in the future, he could help her out.
Su Erniang was born without a mother. This kind of girl would be picky when it comes to marriage. If her natal family has no brothers to support her, it will make people feel that she has a poor life, and better people are unwilling to have her. Such a daughter-in-law.
Once Su's family is separated, Su's second son and daughter's second mother will have separate households, but if there is no separation, the four families will still be a family, and there is not much difference between cousins and brothers.
What's more, Su Lao Si is still a scholar, just for the name of a scholar's niece, some people are willing to marry Su Erniang's daughter, so that her marriage will be much smoother.
And it may be precisely because he knew that he was infertile that Su Laoer never objected to his parents not renewing him, because his body, even if renewing, could not continue the incense, it would be better to be honest In fact, there is only Erniang and a daughter.
No one thought that the biggest reason for Su Er'er's forbearance these years was because of this daughter, not even Su Erniang thought.
She always thought that her father didn't love her.
The little girl covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
The most ruthless people will be heartbroken by such a scene. Why is the most pitiful thing in the world being spread to this father and daughter? If the family is really separated, how will the father and daughter live?
But Mrs. Li will not soften her heart. On the contrary, after hearing Su Laoer's words, her attitude towards separating the family has become more determined.
Before, the second child was a burden. If we don't separate the family, would we still have the second mother as a burden?
She said that the second child Su was not honest, and she wanted to plot her fourth child as the backer of his bereaved star. This girl was born to restrain her mother, and her father could not bear children. It shows that her life is vicious, and she must not Let this girl live under the same roof as her again.
"Mom, are you really so cruel?"
Su Aobai's head was already bleeding, and he also pushed his daughter to kowtow, but because of his distress, he didn't use much force. So far, Su Erniang has only bent her waist a few times, and didn't really hit the ground.
Judging from these details, it can also be found that he actually loves this girl in his bones.
At this moment, Su Laoer seemed to be so excited that he couldn't control his reason. He raised his head and let the blood flow from his forehead to his eyes, nose bridge, and mouth. As thick as the face.
"This family is decided!"
Li said firmly, unmoved at all.
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
Su Aobai was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and laughed.
He has passed away, the second son of the Su family has been driven crazy.
Everyone was silent, Erniang Su tightly clutched the hem of her father's clothes, and the tears in her eyes covered the worry in her eyes.
She wants to talk about splitting up. It’s okay. She can take care of herself and her father. She is very capable. She can pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, cut pig grass and cook pig food, she can chop firewood to make a fire...she can also help Other people's work, as long as they give a little food...
If that didn't work, she would be happier to die of starvation with her father than in this home.
Because she knew that her father loved her, and she was also a child who was loved by her father. Even if she died, she would have no regrets.
Su Aobai smiled, laughing until everyone around him panicked.
Only then did he hug the girl next to him tightly, and then dragged his injured leg to stand up with difficulty. During this period, he staggered several times and almost fell because of the injured leg, but because of the support of the people around him, he finally stood up.
"Let's divide it up. From now on, I will live with my second mother. Thank you parents for letting me know that the only one I can rely on is myself."
Su Aobai wiped the blood on his face carelessly with his hands, then turned sideways and looked down at his daughter.
"You're going to live with dad in the future, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Su Erniang replied firmly.
"Good boy, good boy, father's good second mother."
Su Aobai carefully stroked her head with his hands. This scene made many women present cry.
The father and daughter of the second room are so pitiful!
Li's stepmother is too sinful!
This is the consensus of everyone present today.
