Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

"what?"

"Can't you?"

Chu Mingxiao and Su Laosan both seemed a little bit unconvinced that what they heard was true.

"Yes, brother, haven't you been living in the grocery store? How could Su Li steal your silver? Unless you left the silver in the Su family?" Su Qiuyi didn't believe it either.

"Yes! Yunsheng, you are so confused! Why did you put the silver there?"

Su Laosan also became anxious. The child had earned a lot during this period, and he had been working hard. A few days ago, he said that the money was almost enough for the exam.

"No, I left it at the grocery store. I live in the backyard of the grocery store. Maybe they stole it from the backyard while I was busy at the front."

Su Yunsheng calmed down and explained the matter clearly.

"Then how can you be sure that it was Su Li who stole it?" Su Qiuyi couldn't understand.

"There is no one else except grandma. She came to the grocery store to find me that day and said that my second brother was going to the capital to study and asked me for money. I didn't give it... and she has already admitted it."

Su Yunqi said that if he wanted to study abroad, they let him go. It was true. Su Yunsheng was already a student and just lacked a chance to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, but they didn't even ask or care.

"Who hurt you?" Su Qiuyi was already gritting his teeth.

After asking, I could almost guess, "It should be my uncle who hit me?"

Su Yunsheng nodded.

"Brother, are you stupid? He hits you and you just stand there and let him hit you?"

"He is my father, I cannot fight back. I just want my money back. I am ready. I will take the exam in the spring. If I delay any longer, I will have no chance..."

Su Qiuyi was so distressed.

So he endured the pain and let them beat him.

"Not only did I not get my money back, I'm also covered in wounds... Lingyu, bring me my medical kit first!"

Su Qiu hated his stupidity, was angry at his lack of fighting spirit, and felt sorry for his injuries, so he quickly asked someone to get a medical kit to bandage Brother Oh's wounds.

"What should we do now?" Chu Mingxiao asked as he looked at the little girl who was carefully bandaging her wound.

He could get the money back in a matter of minutes by robbing it, but he had to listen to the little girl's opinion, otherwise he would have been let go long ago.

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

Su Qiuyi didn't make the decision on his own, but asked Su Yunsheng.

In this matter, it still depends on Su Yunsheng's opinion. No one can make the decision for him.

"I just want the money back. I have already given them all the money as agreed. This is the part I want to keep for myself. I don't want to give it back."

"But Yunqi has already left, and has taken most of the silver. If he doesn't come back..."

His expression darkened.

He just couldn't understand why his parents and grandma treated him like this?

Both of them are their children, why are they so partial to one?

I always thought that it was my third uncle's family that were favored, but I didn't expect that I would be treated so differently in my parents' eyes.

If they just wanted a future, then he was obviously the most promising one, but his parents would rather spend money to train his younger brother than him.

His parents had neglected him since he was little. Now that he thought about it, it was obviously not because Yunqi was little that they were partial to him.

Today, he watched his father punching and kicking him without any feeling of pain at all, and he really couldn't understand why.

Just because I'm friendly to my uncle's family?

Because now I’m working for my third uncle’s family?

But they got a lot of money, so on what basis?

"I just can't understand, is the old Su family sick? It's fine that our third branch was bullied before the family split, because my father is not the son of Su Li, but what about my eldest brother? He is the eldest grandson of the eldest branch. Even if they are partial to each other, shouldn't they be partial to my eldest brother? What I don't understand is that it's like they gave up on my eldest brother and trained that useless Su Yunqi."

Su Qiuyi frowned in confusion. "I don't remember a lot of things. Brother, have they been partial to me since they were young? Or has it only become like this recently?"

Su Yunsheng shook his head. "Before, my parents were good to Yunqi, and I just thought he was young, so it was normal for them to pamper him more. But now I think about it, I have been the one who was ignored since I was a child, and it is only becoming more and more obvious."

Su Laosan also nodded.

"Yes, Yunsheng has been sensible since he was young, and he never fights with his brothers and sisters."

"Then there are two results. Either my eldest brother is not my eldest uncle's biological son, or they are just stupid and ignore such a smart and capable son like my eldest brother and insist on training a useless person. As for Su Yunqi... let's not talk about it."

As for what Su Qiuyi said, those who knew about it would just nod and not refute.

It is obvious that Su Yunsheng is already a student, and if he works harder he can become a scholar. Su Yunqi is nothing yet. Even if he cannot afford to support two children, shouldn't he support Su Yunsheng to become a scholar first?

"Yiyi, don't speak of your elders like that!" Su Laosan finally couldn't stand his daughter speaking the truth so loudly, so he signaled to his daughter with his eyes that Chu Mingxiao was still there.

After all, they are engaged, and Chu Mingxiao is still here. It’s not good for my daughter to be so outspoken.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he gave the reminder, Chu Mingxiao agreed and said it was right.

Su Laosan felt embarrassed and started to worry about Su Yunsheng again.

"If it really doesn't work, Uncle San will lend you the money for the exam. Can you take the exam first?"

Su Qiuyi shook his head.

"The most important thing now is how to get rid of the old Su family. In the future, when my eldest brother passes the imperial examination and even goes further, there will be nothing that the old Su family can't do." Su Qiuyi reminded his father.

"But how can Yunsheng get rid of it? He is the eldest grandson of the old Su family. There are no parents who are not good in the world. No matter what time it is, Yunsheng is a member of the old Su family!"

Su Laosan understands his daughter's sleeping habits, but he also has his own opinions.

Everyone knows that the Su family is difficult to deal with, but Su Yunsheng can't get rid of it.

"Even if Yunsheng is married now, he can't leave the family, otherwise he won't be able to leave."

Later, Su Laosan added another sentence.

"I just hope they can return the money I saved to me first, so I can take the exam, and we can talk about the future later..."

The wound at the corner of Su Yunsheng's mouth was still painful as he spoke, but he was only focused on taking the exam.

Su Qiuyi looked at Chu Mingxiao. If she wanted, Chu Mingxiao could easily help solve everything, but she didn't want to.

After thinking for a while, he asked Su Yunsheng, "Brother, if I can help you get rid of the old Su family, would you be willing? Are you still reluctant to pay that price?"

It took a long time to ask this question. Su Yunsheng sat there with his head down for a long time. Su Qiuyi also waited quietly for his answer. It was unknown how long it had been. When everyone thought Su Yunsheng was asleep, he finally looked up.

"I am willing."

"Although I am very unfilial, I think they don't need me to be filial to them. What they need more is money. I want to convert their kindness in raising me into money and give it to them. They should agree. Yiyi, can you..."

"Do you need to ask? Money is not a problem, let's go to the old Su family to talk now!" Su Qiuyi stood up and said, "This is the last time I will get involved with the old Su family again. If it weren't for you, I don't want to see that family in my life..."
