Facing Su Liu's rather stern eyes, Chen Ye blushed and became a little at a loss.
"Sister, I..."
"It's true that you are my mother's adopted son, but you have also had a formal wedding ceremony and paid homage to the mentor of heaven and earth. The most important thing is that your name is registered under my mother's account. You and I and Su
Both children are my mother's children. In the future, when my mother is old for a hundred years, she will have biological children. The things she leaves behind may not be as good as her biological children, but they will still have a share of yours. Similarly, you will also have a share of yours.
You should be filial to her and worship her, unless you don't regard us as sisters or mother as your mother at all." Su Liu's eyes were sharp and her words were scolding.
Chen Ye's face turned pale, and he knelt down in front of Su Liu with a thud. He lowered his head and said, "Sister, I don't have it. When eldest sister took me in, my mother also regarded me as her own son. She cared about me and loved me. In my heart,
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the eldest sister and mother are my own sisters and mothers, Chen Ye doesn’t dare to be ungrateful.”
Su Liu looked at him intently for a while and said, "Get up and talk. What are you doing kneeling down? You don't have to be blamed for punishing you."
Chen Ye looked up and saw that her face softened slightly, and then stood up.
"I also know what you are thinking. It is just because you feel that your status is embarrassing in this family, but to be honest, is it really that embarrassing?" Su Liu looked at him and said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether my mother has remarried or not.
If she remarries, no matter who she marries, she will still be our mother and her husband-in-law. If you want to, you can respectfully call her father. If you don’t want to, just call her uncle. It will work. Even if you call him foster father, as long as
I sincerely treat you, and I believe he is equally happy."
"As for this family, you are always talking about other people. You can't control what others say. Just be yourself. You simply treat them as your elders, be filial and have a clear conscience. As time goes by, Shitou
Can you be covered up?" Su Liu looked at him and said: "Ye'er, only those with strong hearts can gain a firm foothold in this world. Even if you care about this, how will you gain a foothold in the court in the future?
"
Chen Ye was shocked. Seeing Su Liu's eyes shining, he pursed his lips, bowed deeply and said, "Ye'er, thank you sister for your guidance."
Su Liu sighed inwardly and said: "I know it's difficult for you at this moment. You live in the academy and don't come back often. If you really feel uncomfortable, come and talk to your mother occasionally.
Just have a meal and then go back to the house or college to stay."
"Ye'er understands." Chen Ye nodded.
Seeing that the gloom on his face had dissipated a lot, Su Liu stood up and said: "You can continue reading. Sister is also busy at the moment, so she won't stop you. Remember, only those with strong hearts can
Will not be destroyed by setbacks.”
"Ye'er remembers it." Chen Ye responded quickly and sent her down to the pavilion.
Su Liu walked to the moon gate of the garden and turned around to see him still standing at the edge of the pavilion looking at the other side, and couldn't help but sigh.
When it was time for lunch, Chen Ye opened his mouth and called Cao Kui his adoptive father. Cao Kui and Chen were both stunned for a moment, but they soon relaxed and served him food with a smile. Su Liu, who was sitting next to him, did not change his expression.
But I am also pleased that this child has a sensitive mind, but he is also smart. I only hope that he will do well in the future.
Since Mrs. Chen remarried and broke up with her mother's family, there was no such thing as returning home. She only went out for a walk with Cao Kui on the third day of homecoming, but she looked a little sad when she came back.
"Mom, what's going on?" Su Liuping retreated from everyone and asked with concern.
Mrs. Chen sighed, seeming a little sad, and said, "Your little aunt is gone."
Su Liu was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Su Xiao, he realized that he was talking about Su Jinfeng.
Su Xiao always regarded the people in the old house as feuds. This time when she heard that Su Jinfeng was gone, she pursed her lips and said, "She will just hang on for a while. Maybe it would be better if she went earlier, so as not to suffer."
Although she said this, her voice was also a little deep, and she was obviously a little sad.
It's not that Su Xiao and the others are reluctant to let go of Su Jinfeng, but the human heart is made of flesh. After all, it is a living human life. Su Jinfeng died of that kind of disease, which was innocent. Besides, he was not too old, and he would always attract people.
regret.
It is said that the dead are great, and all the things in the past are also scattered with this death, falling into mud and turning into dust.
"Why did mother go there?" Chunshu Hutong is far away from Cao's mansion, how could she and Cao Kui go there?
"I didn't go there either. It was on Dongshu Street. I bumped into the Zhou family when they were delivering the funeral. It should have been sent to the funeral field on the outskirts of the city." Mrs. Chen sighed.
In this era, there is no such thing as cremation. Most of them are buried in the ground. There is no formal cemetery for burial. For example, those maids, servants and slaves who were beaten to death were swept away and thrown into mass graves.
They will not be cremated. However, not everyone needs to be buried. For example, if there is an infectious disease or something, it is better to be cremated. Of course, there will be some who are unwilling to be burned and buried secretly.
The disease that Su Jinfeng contracted was actually not contagious due to sexual contact, but it was still sent to the crematorium. It seems that this disease is indeed a disgrace to people.
Hearing that he was being sent to the incarnation field, Su Xiao's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed.
"Mom, have you seen anyone in the old house?" Su Xiao asked again.
Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "It would be sad for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person away. Generally, old people would not send their children away. It would be nice to see them for the last time. Some families only come to say a word to you after they have gone."
Most of them are gifts of silk and gold. But I am looking at your second uncle."
"The old lady is here." Su Liu said calmly.
Chen and Su Xiao looked at her in surprise when they heard this.
Su Liu's lips curled up slightly and said: "Yes, I have known it for a long time. She went there in the early morning of the day my mother got married. I happened to see Su Fusheng driving an ox cart on the day my mother got married.
I sent Shuang Ning to inquire about it." After that, Su Liu told the two of them what Shuang Ning had inquired about, and said: "My mother is a new bride, and I didn't talk about it. After all, it's red and white."
Mrs. Chen didn't care that Su Liu concealed this matter, but when she heard Mr. Huang's fuss, she frowned and said: "The dead are respected, she is so fussy, she is not afraid that Jinfeng will be down there and she won't be able to survive? Why bother?"
"Mom, you are wrong. You are thinking that everyone is dead anyway, so you can get back whatever you can. In the eyes of that old woman, money is more important than anything else now." Su Xiao curled her lips disdainfully.
She was telling the truth. Ever since Su Changsheng stole the money, these things happened one after another. Huang now values a piece of money more than a life. She is afraid that someone will steal the money again, so she always carries a money bag with her.
Woolen cloth!
Nowadays, the Huang family is actually in a very bad situation. The mainstay of the family is paralyzed in bed. Let alone doing anything else, what can she do if she has to be waited on to urinate and defecate? She has two sons, but the eldest son is disabled.
Not to mention, Su Liu is now being held in a prison for robbing and wounding others, so she can only rely on Su Fusheng.
It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Huang went into trouble after her daughter's death. In her opinion, only by holding money in hand can she feel safe and live in peace.
Mrs. Chen shook her head when she heard this and said: "After so many things happened, not only has her temper not changed, but it has become more and more difficult. Is there no time for regret?"
Su Liu didn't know if the Huang family would regret what she had done when no one was around in the middle of the night. In her opinion, the Huang family were just cheap grandmas with a reputation.
However, with Huang's always strong and habitual temperament, I am afraid that if she has no regrets, she will only get worse.
"Whatever, we have nothing to do with that family anymore, especially mother. Now that you are married to Uncle Cao, you can just live behind closed doors and live in love with each other." Su Xiao shrugged her little nose and said.
"Call father." Mrs. Chen glared at her angrily.
Su Xiao stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "You're not used to it yet, aren't you?"
Seeing this, Su Liu smiled slightly, and Mrs. Chen was helpless. As if she had thought of something, she turned to Su Liu and said, "By the way, Liu'er, um..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Su Liu found it funny and said: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything else we, mother and daughter, can't say?"
Mrs. Chen hesitated a little, bit her thick lip before saying, "It's your father..."
Su Liu's face sank, and the smile on his face dropped. Chen sighed secretly, knowing that this was the case, and said: "He has been locked up for two months. Do you think it's time to release him?"
Su Liu lowered his eyelids and said softly: "Mom, I have my own sense of discretion in this matter. If I don't teach him a profound lesson, he won't know who should be offended and who should not be offended."
"I know, this is enough. He is in a miserable state now, and his hands and feet are disabled. What if he dies inside..." Mrs. Chen's expression changed and she said, "Mom, I don't want people to say you are a pushover."
My biological father is dead, so let him go and let me accumulate blessings for my mother."
"As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but misfortune will last for thousands of years. Mother, don't worry, he won't die in there." Su Liu picked up the tea, thought for a while and then said calmly: "But since mother has spoken, let's forget it, Tong.
If he returns to his old house, he will only attract suspicion."
Su Changsheng's behavior had already made the Zhou family feel cold. Now that he was disabled and had to be cared for by someone, she didn't believe that the Zhou family would be kind to him. So when Su Changsheng returned to his old house, life would probably be worse than before.
It's even harder in prison. After all, there is food and drink in prison.
It doesn't matter if you put it back or let them chew the bones.
So, at Su Liu's greeting, Su Changsheng was thrown out of the prison. He was in ragged clothes, his beard and hair were in a mess, and he smelled sour. Everyone in the group avoided him.
Su Changsheng saw the light of day again, but instead of bursting into tears with gratitude, he scolded everyone before dragging his remaining leg slowly back to Dayao Village.
But after he returned, he found that his home had changed drastically. The door to the house that belonged to him after the separation was now locked. He screamed and screamed, but no one came to open it for him. It was not until dark that the door was opened.
Opening it from the inside, a young man with a gloomy face threw a bundle at him: "You are not welcome here, go wherever you like."
