Why did it get to the point where the third brother and his family were all kicked out?
Mrs. Zhao sighed, looked at Su Xiaozhi who was anxious and concerned, and told her the reason: "Xiaozhi, it's me who failed to live up to expectations and didn't give your third brother a son. My parents couldn't tolerate the fourth sister, so they said we should throw away the fourth sister."
, or let us go as a family."
Su Xiaozhi looked at Zhao in shock, unable to believe that this would be the case.
Su Xiaolu was on the side of the bed. She had already woken up. She was neither crying nor fussing. She looked at Su Xiaozhi curiously with her lively eyes, as if she was sizing her up.
Seeing such a well-behaved little niece, Su Xiaozhi felt distressed. She understood and understood.
Ms. Zhao added: "As for me, my roots were damaged because of the birth of my fourth sister, and I will never be able to have another baby again."
In fact, this is the fundamental thing. If Su Sanlang is willing to be an obedient son, Mr. Su and the Wang family will not tolerate him. As long as he can be obedient and abandon his daughter, let her, a woman who cannot give birth to a son, die.
It was Su Sanlang who couldn't bear to let her down, so he would rather take his family out, even if they all starved to death in the winter, it didn't matter.
Su Xiaozhi had unspeakable emotions in her heart. She saw tears in Mrs. Zhao's eyes, and felt a little distressed in her heart. She stretched out her hand to wipe Mrs. Zhao's tears and said: "Sister-in-law, don't think so much, this is not yours."
Wrong, and my third brother is a real man if he does this. He is indeed the third brother I admire."
Su Sanlang is affectionate and righteous, so he cannot abandon his wife and daughter, just like he would stand up for his sister back then.
Su Xiaozhi took off a silver bracelet from her sleeve and gave it to Ms. Zhao: "Sister-in-law, I can't help you with anything. This is the only thing I can offer. Don't refuse. Use it when the family is really in trouble."
, just get through this year and everything will be fine."
Mrs. Zhao was shocked and moved, and wanted to refuse, but when the words of rejection came to her lips, she couldn't say them. Instead, she just turned into tears. She choked and said: "Xiaozhi, thank you..."
Su Xiaozhi also shed tears. She smiled and said, "I will definitely get through it."
Ms. Zhao nodded heavily.
Su Xiaozhi wiped away her tears: "Okay, don't cry, you are still in confinement."
Both of them wiped their tears. Su Xiaozhi looked at Su Xiaolu, and then realized that the little girl seemed to have been looking at her, her little mouth pursed and pursed.
There were tears in her smart eyes, but she did not cry out.
Su Xiaozhi gently stretched out her hand and said: "Fourth sister, be good, can you give me a hug?"
Su Xiaolu burst into tears.
She has been paying attention to this sister-in-law since she came to Su Xiaozhi.
She also thought that this sister-in-law might be here to cause trouble, but she miscalculated. This sister-in-law came to help in times of need. How precious and difficult this was.
Su Xiaolu was moved, and she also kept this feeling in her heart.
Su Xiaozhi picked up Su Xiaolu. She was afraid that the little girl would cry, but what she didn't expect was that after she picked her up, the tears in Su Xiaolu's eyes gradually disappeared, and she still opened her small mouth and exposed herself to her.
a smile.
Su Xiaozhi was surprised and delighted: "Fourth sister is so good, she seems to be able to understand what we are saying."
Su Xiaozhi looked at Mrs. Zhao, with a hint of heartache in her eyes.
Ms. Zhao smiled and said, "Fourth sister is indeed very well-behaved. She doesn't cry or make trouble. She's not tired at all from taking care of her."
Su Xiaozhi's eyes were gentle: "That's good, that's good. Next time I come to see you, Fourth Sister will recognize someone."
Su Xiaozhi sighed. She only went back to her parents' home once a year. This time she expected Mrs. Zhao to give birth to a child, but she didn't expect that in less than a year, there would be earth-shaking changes.
Since she couldn't go back, she wished from the bottom of her heart that this third brother, who was talking uprightly, could live a safe and healthy life with his family.
Mrs. Zhao also looked at Su Xiaolu in Su Xiaozhi's arms, sighed slightly and responded, "Yes, next time you come, the fourth sister might be able to leave."
Su Xiaozhi smiled slightly, looked at Su Xiaolu's smart eyes, and couldn't help but said: "Our fourth sister will definitely be very beautiful when she grows up. She looks like the third brother, but she has fair skin like you."
Su Xiaozhi found it hard to accept such a cute child and couldn't figure out why her mother was so cruel and couldn't tolerate this baby.
Su Xiaolu would smile after a while, and Su Xiaozhi's heart almost melted. She just sighed in her heart that she had no money and could not help her third brother's family, so she could only feel sad and sigh in her heart.
After returning Su Xiaolu to Mrs. Zhao, Su Xiaozhi said: "Sister-in-law, you take Fourth Sister to rest while I help you find clothes. I have quick hands and feet and can help you lay a rough foundation."
As soon as Zhao opened her mouth, Su Xiaozhi had already gone to pack the cotton and cloth.
Zhao's nose felt sore and she said in a slightly stiff voice, "Okay, I'm done."
Su Xiaozhi waved her hands and said nothing.
Su Sanlang and Su Sanmei were cooking.
Su Chong and Su Hua packed up the grass and roots dug by Su Sanlang and returned. They entered the house and looked at Su Xiaozhi curiously.
Su Xiaozhi's eyebrows were gentle and she waved to the two of them. When they passed by, Su Xiaozhi touched their heads and asked them: "Brother Chong, Brother Hua, do you remember my sister-in-law? During the Chinese New Year last year, my sister-in-law came here.
I’ve seen you.”
Su Chong and Su Hua nodded: "Remember, my little aunt gave me and Brother Hua candy."
Su Xiaozhi smiled and took out a small paper bag from her body and handed it to the two of them: "There are only three yuan left. Take it and share it with my sister. Let's eat one piece together, you know?"
Su Chong and Su Hua didn't know whether they should take it or not, but Su Xiaozhi had already put the sugar packets in their hands.
Mrs. Zhao said gently: "Listen to my sister-in-law and go out and share the food with the three sisters to eat together."
Su Chong and Su Hua's eyes lit up.
Su Hua said awkwardly: "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Su Chong also said quickly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The two of them could not conceal their joy and had already headed towards the outhouse together.
Soon, Su Sanmei's happy shout came from the outer room: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Su Sanlang's heart warmed up and he said gently: "Go outside to eat. It's enough for dad to come here. It's time to eat and dad will call you."
He had never bought candy for his three children. Su Sanmei, Su Chong, and Su Hua, the three brothers, only had it when Su Xiaozhi returned to her parents' home.
Thinking that in that family, the eldest brother and the second brother's children often had sweets to eat, but his children couldn't even eat sugar dregs, Su Sanlang felt heavy and distressed.
Next time he caught prey, he would also buy some candies for the three children to eat. Su Sanlang kept this in mind.
Su Sanmei and her two brothers went out to eat sweets. This kind of candy was very hard and sticky to the teeth. Each person only had one thumb-sized piece of candy, which they held in their mouths to let the candy slowly melt.
After sharing the candy, Su Chong and Su Hua couldn't wait to hold it in their mouths.
Su Sanmei quietly bit a piece of it, then wrapped it and put it in her clothes.
"Big brother and second brother, let's have a bug-catching competition."
Su Sanmei took Su Chong and Su Hua to catch insects and feed them to the chickens.
