The room was silent. Grandpa Su was smoking a cigarette without saying anything and without calling Father Su to get up.

Father Su was not in a hurry and just knelt there waiting for his father to speak.

After a while, or maybe more than a while.

Grandpa Su finally spoke, "Is there no room for maneuver? You are brothers."

Father Su felt a dull pain in his heart. Thinking about the brotherhood they had shared over the years, how could he easily give it up?

But then I thought, what if I can’t let go?

He can't just ignore the feelings of his wife, children and the elderly because of his own selfishness.

It is they who have been by my side all these years, and it is also they who have been silently supporting me behind the scenes.

Is he going to abandon the person who truly cares about him for someone who doesn't care about him?

He knelt there in silence, and Grandpa Su knew what he meant.

He continued smoking in silence, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Grandpa Su sighed deeply, as if he was compromising.

Then he tapped his pipe on the leg of a stool and said weakly, "When a tree grows big, it branches out. When people grow up, they divide up. Let's divide up, let's divide up."

But in the end, he still reminded Father Su, "Even if you split up the family, don't forget that you are brothers. If there is any problem, help each other if you can."

The second brother's family is about to rise, and maybe from now on they will be able to wash off their muddy legs and become city dwellers.

But the eldest brother and his wife are obviously troublemakers at home, and they only hold back the second brother's family.

The Su family has been poor peasants for generations, and his grandfather's grandfather has always been working in this area.

Now the family relies on Su Yan, and someone is about to rise.

Grandpa Su will never allow anyone to hold them back.

This is the only chance for future generations to turn things around, if he messes it up.

Even if he went to the underworld and met his ancestors, he would not feel at ease.

But Uncle Su was also his eldest son, whom he had valued for most of his life, and he knew that if he agreed to split the family business.

In a disguised way, it is also like giving up on him.

For Grandpa Su, giving up his eldest son was a difficult decision.

But no matter how difficult the decision was, Grandpa Su still made it.

However, he felt a little guilty, so he asked Su's father to promise to help Uncle Su if he had any difficulties in the future.

Father Su looked at his father who seemed to have aged several years in an instant, his eyes filled with tears, and nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, no matter what, we are still brothers. Even if we split up, if something really happens, I won't just stand by and watch."

If Uncle Su encounters difficulties, he will certainly do his best to help.

But if he acted unreasonably, Father Su would no longer tolerate him.

Grandpa Su also understood the meaning of Su's father's words, but he didn't say anything else. That was enough.

The second son has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, and now that he has agreed, Grandpa Su feels much more at ease.

Now that the matter he was worried about was resolved, Grandpa Su did not keep Su's father any longer.

I waved my hand and asked him to go back, and stayed alone in the room quietly.

When Grandpa Su came out again, it was Grandma Su who called him to eat.

He entered the main room and found that his eldest son and daughter-in-law had returned at some point.

Now they are both sitting at the table, staring at the chicken on the table without blinking.

I could faintly hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

These days, people in the countryside are reluctant to eat meat except during the Chinese New Year.

The Su family was considered well off, as Uncle Su would occasionally come to send some pheasants, rabbits, etc.

Although the wild animals in the mountains are very tough, they are still meat after all!

Compared with other families who don't eat any meat all year round, the Su family is considered good.

But even so, Uncle Su and Aunt Su couldn't take their eyes off the chicken.

Grandpa Su frowned when he saw them like this.

The second brother's family has already returned from the county, but the eldest brother is not trying to repair the relationship quickly.

Even when others come back, he feels guilty and hides outside.

That's fine. If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. It means you have backbone.

But as soon as a chicken is killed at home, why do you immediately appear on the table?

Thinking about the fact that I didn't hear any sound in the yard from the house just now, I realized that even if the eldest couple came back, they didn't talk to the second brother.

In other words, the eldest brother did not apologize to the second brother at all.

Grandpa Su felt disappointed. He didn't know why his son, who was quite sensible when he was young, had become like this today.

Looking at the eldest daughter-in-law again, is it true that she becomes the kind of person she is with?

He couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law, but he also vaguely knew it in his heart.

It is true that some people said all kinds of nonsense in Uncle Su's ears and led him astray, but it is also true that he himself has a bad character.

It seems that Uncle Su is not worried about himself at all, nor does he think about making amends for himself.

Grandpa Su was also angry.

You don't think about your own future, and you don't think about reconciling with your brother.

Why should I care about you?

Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

The child has grown up and he can no longer control him.

In that case, let’s separate as soon as possible.

Things smell good from a distance but stink up close. Even if we are far apart, there might still be some friendship.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Su, who had originally wanted to delay and see if things would turn around, no longer hesitated.

We decided to talk about the separation tonight.

As for this meal, let it be considered as everyone’s last reunion dinner.

After we separate, even if we get together again, it will not be the same.

Grandpa Su made up his mind not to visit his eldest son anymore.

Shouting to others to come to the table quickly so that everyone can enjoy the meal happily.

During this period, Uncle Su was a little worried about what his father would say.

But I saw that my father finally just asked everyone to come and have dinner together, and did not blame him or mention the incident at the clinic that day.

He thought his brother didn't say anything, so the matter just passed by in a muddle.

I don't have to apologize anymore.

This kind of thing has happened before, and Uncle Su was secretly happy.

He felt relieved and focused on grabbing the meat with his wife.

He is old and has a high seniority in the family, so he is very powerful when he fights.

No one competed with him for the meat, and he didn't give the meat to others.

Therefore, after the meal, he ate more than Su's father, who was injured and needed to replenish his body.

In the end, Grandma Su couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to scold the couple.

But considering that we were at the dinner table, it would not be nice to curse.

So I signaled them with my eyes to think about others and not just sit there eating.

But neither of them noticed it, or maybe they did notice it, but neither of them paid any attention.

The meat belongs to you only when it is eaten. As for the tonic for the second brother, they just don’t believe that Su Yan didn’t give him tonic in the county?

It doesn't matter if I have this meal.

After dinner, Grandma Su led people to the kitchen to clean up.

Thinking about what happened to my eldest son and daughter-in-law, I felt very unhappy.

After the dishes were washed, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law went out and I was the only one left in the kitchen.

She secretly opened the cupboard and took a look.

There was also a bowl of meat, which she had saved for her second child at noon when no one was paying attention.
