Mrs. Zhao didn't know what Su Sanlang went through when he went to Su's house. She only knew that from the moment she saw Su Sanlang's figure, Su Sanlang's body seemed to have been hit hard, and his steps were heavy and staggering.
He raised his hand from time to time. Even though he couldn't see it, Zhao knew that he was wiping tears.
She didn't see him cry on the day they moved, but this time he couldn't stop crying. Zhao felt heartbroken. She wanted Su Sanlang to know that she would be by his side no matter what time.
Su Sanlang's cold heart warmed up. He held Zhao's hand back and said more loudly: "Mother, I've wronged you. It's because I'm incompetent. I can't help you. They want to wipe us out of the family tree. I'm sorry."
Ms. Zhao's body trembled and she burst into tears.
She understood what it meant to eliminate the family tree.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, smiled with difficulty and said, "Daddy, it's okay. Let's eat first. I stewed chicken and rabbit. They're delicious."
"Dad, I'm not afraid, and don't be afraid either. You've done this for us, and I can't repay you in return. If you don't despise me, our family will follow you whether we live or die, okay?"
Zhao was prepared for the worst, but she was not afraid. The worst outcome was to end her life.
She was not afraid of death, she just felt pain when she thought of her child.
Without her and Su Sanlang, Su Chong and Su Hua would suffer while they were alive. They would have to take their two stupid sons with them when they left. As for her two daughters, she was afraid that no one would treat them well, so leaving them alone in this world would be a waste.
Suffering from pain.
Therefore, if we have to leave, we should leave together as a family, without worries, and we will never be separated from now on.
"good."
Su Sanlang replied with a good word. This word was very light, yet very heavy.
The two of them clasped their hands, wiped away their tears, and went into the house smiling.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, Su Sanmei came out with Su Xiaolu and Su Chongsu Hua in her arms.
Su Sanmei looked at Su Sanlang anxiously, then at Zhao, and timidly called out: "Father, mother."
Su Chong and Su Hua didn't understand anything, but the atmosphere at home was obviously different. They were both very nervous and scared. They shouted "Mom and Dad" along with Su Sanmei and then stood obediently.
Su Sanlang only felt a strange pain in his heart. These were his children, and their every move affected his heart. How could he let go of them? Even if he died, he would still be worried about them.
The tears that Zhao had stopped fell down.
Mrs. Zhao walked over, gently touched Su Sanmei's hair, and said in a trembling voice: "Sanmei, be good, sit down, and my mother will scoop out the food for you."
Su Sanlang hugged his two sons and felt that both of them were trembling with fear. Su Sanlang's heart was in pain. He said with difficulty: "Brother Chong, brother Hua, don't be afraid, father and mother are here."
"You're so hungry, let's eat quickly."
Su Sanlang took his two sons and sat down. Looking at the bowl full of meat served by Mrs. Zhao, a trace of pain flashed in Su Sanlang's eyes. He choked and said nothing in the end.
Su Chong and Su Hua's nervousness and fear disappeared without a trace in front of this fragrant food.
"Dad eats it too, mother eats it too, and my sister eats it too, it's delicious."
Su Chong looked at his parents and Su Sanmei and saw that everyone had the same amount in their bowls, so he started to eat with confidence.
Su Sanmei was still timid. She looked at her parents secretly, as if she wanted to see something from their faces, but she was still a child, and no matter how sensible she was, she could not understand the pain of adults.
Mrs. Zhao touched Su Sanmei's hair and said gently: "Sanmei, please eat. Eat more. Mom will cook for you tomorrow. Our family will be full."
Su Sanmei pursed her lips and nodded.
Chicken and rabbit are stewed together, and the flavors blend together, creating an indescribable aroma and deliciousness.
Seeing her parents eating meat, Su Sanmei temporarily forgot about her fear of eating meat.
Mrs. Zhao held Su Xiaolu in one hand, eating meat and drinking soup.
Su Xiaolu sighed lightly.
One pot of meat, the whole family can eat cleanly, but they eat less rice.
After washing up, the three children Su Sanmei, Su Chong and Su Hua fell asleep. Only then did Zhao gently touch Su Sanlang's hand and said: "Dad, when we are expelled from the family tree, these things, we will
Aren’t you unable to take them all with you?”
Ms. Zhao has accepted this matter, and she is not too sad. She just feels pain in her heart when she thinks that her child may die with them this winter.
Su Sanlang responded softly: "Well, this house and the land are all left by our ancestors. Now it's all up to my father. I've been expelled from the family tree, and these don't belong to me anymore."
Su Sanlang opened his eyes and looked at the thatched roof. His heart seemed to stop hurting. He was still unwilling to think about his wife and children. He secretly asked God why Su Sanlang was allowed to suffer so much. He gave him hope again.
Take it back.
Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Take it back, take it back. If we really can't go on anymore, we will leave together as a family."
Su Sanlang turned around and hugged Mrs. Zhao, and responded to her lightly: "Yes."
Su Xiaolu, who was also not asleep, also sighed quietly.
She really didn't expect that something like this would happen again.
In ancient times, being expelled from the family tree was a very serious matter. Being completely abandoned and not even recognizing the ancestors.
Putting aside all this, how can we live in this cold winter weather with no houses or anything?
Listening to my parents’ wishes, if I really can’t survive, I will buy some poison and the whole family will die together.
Su Xiaolu had nothing to do but feel sad. She was a baby and couldn't walk or talk. She had no choice. It wasn't that she was afraid of death, she just felt it was unfair.
Everything is so worrying, but there is nothing that can be done.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Zhao suddenly said to Su Sanlang: "My father, please send the noodles and rice we came to buy later to Brother Huzi's family in the dark. With so much food, their family can always
If you eat something delicious, think of it as repaying his kindness, and give him ten taels of silver as well."
Mrs. Zhao always remembered Chen Hu's help, thinking that she might not have the chance to repay him in the future, so she quickly asked Su Sanlang to send the food.
Su Sanlang nodded and immediately got up to carry the rice and noodles he bought later. He went to Chen Hu's house in the dark at night. Chen Hu's house was next to the west room. Su Sanlang knocked on the window and imitated the chirping of birds.
When Chen Hu heard the sound, he woke up in a daze and recognized that the bird's call was the signal that Su Sanlang had agreed with him. He suddenly woke up and gently got out of bed and opened the window: "Third brother, is that you?
"
Su Sanlang said softly: "Huzi, it's me. I don't have time to explain to you. Don't ask me why. I will be expelled from the family tree by my father tomorrow. Our family may leave Nanshan Village. Maybe there will be no future in this life."
If we meet again by chance, take this thing and put it away quietly, and look for an opportunity to cook it for the children."
