I just want to die of old age

Su's mother, Tian, laughed heartily, tears welling up in her eyes, and finally she let out a sigh of relief.

Su Erzhu didn't say a word, but just sighed in his heart. This was a complete break, and it was better this way. There seemed to be no benefit in keeping such a family.

Seeing this, Su Yuzhu just stood at the door and gave a thumbs up.

Next, the villagers started building houses in full swing.

Su's mother, Tian, would provide them with food and 10 copper coins per person per day.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Half a year passed in a flash.

The Su family's blue brick and tile house has been completed, but it has attracted a lot of onlookers from the villagers, who are all talking about it.

"Erzhu's family is getting better and better. Old Man Su must be regretting it."

"Now I live in a blue brick and tile house, which is really amazing."

"This house is really clean and bright, and its layout is very similar to the courtyards of the nobles in the capital. I am so envious."

"really?"

"The old Su couple must be utterly distraught. Ever since the second branch split up, their lives have been getting worse and worse. First, Su Dong broke his leg, then Su Baozhu and Li were injured. Bad luck keeps coming one after another. They used to brag that Su Baozhu was a lucky star, bringing blessings to the Su family, but it seems she hasn't brought any benefits. And now that Su Baozhu's good luck is gone, her status in the Su family is much lower than before. The fourth branch has started to make a fuss, arguing all day long and it's really annoying."

"This is retribution. You should treat the children fairly and not mistreat them too harshly."

Old Gao said sourly, "Humph, what's so great about Su Erzhu? He's just lucky. I wouldn't want such an unfilial son even if he were given to me."

"You're just bragging in front of us. Do you dare to say it to our faces?"

Old Gao stiffened his neck and said, "Who dares to say anything? I am his elder. Is it possible that he can still do anything to me?"

……

Su Yuzhu's family didn't care about what the villagers said.

In modern terms, we should just live our lives well and let those jealous people turn into rabbits, envious and jealous!

Their family has been living smoothly these days.

Their fields were already planted with high-yield crops, and they even bought 10 more acres of land.

Su Yuzhu invented the curved plow and the harrow, two highly efficient agricultural tools, which made farming much simpler and reduced manpower consumption.

Su Yuzhu also handed over these two farm tools to the county government.

The county magistrate was overjoyed. He was a newly appointed county magistrate and was full of confidence. He was preparing to work hard and accumulate achievements, and Su Yuzhu handed him a ladder.

Food is the most important thing for people, and agriculture has always been the top priority of the imperial court.

At first, when the county magistrate heard that it was a young girl who came to offer farm tools, he was not interested at all.

However, his immediate superior put him under great pressure, demanding that agricultural output and income this year must increase by at least 20%.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he actually met Su Yuzhu.

But as soon as he saw the curved plow and the tower carriage, his eyes lit up instantly.

You know, he has been so worried that his hair has turned a few gray. He has been researching farm tools these days, but his subordinates are not up to the task and have not developed anything efficient.

The county magistrate asked his men to try out these farm tools and received a positive response.

He clapped his hands happily, with appreciation in his eyes.

"Women are as brave as men. Come, give the Su family a reward of 500 taels. This county magistrate will report to His Majesty and then give you the reward."

Su Yuzhu handed the design drawings of two agricultural tools to the county magistrate.

In the end, everyone is happy. The current official is not as good as the current manager.

She used two farm tool design drawings to win over the county magistrate and become friends with him, which made her business easier in the future.

Su Yuzhu opened a restaurant in the county town and now his business is booming.

She is knowledgeable and has eaten many famous dishes. If she just brings out a few dishes, she will naturally have no shortage of business.

The grilled fish in the store is famous for its authenticity, attracting many outsiders to come and taste it, and there are always long queues every day.

Of course it was really a huge profit.

It’s easier to talk when you have money.

The second elder brother Su Bei was even more ambitious. He entered the county academy for only one month, but he was already among the top students. He was an outstanding person and no one could stop his brilliance. He even won the first place on the list of students.

Moreover, becoming a scholar is a sure thing and can be easily obtained.

The county officials came to the village with drums and gongs to make an announcement, which caused the villagers to talk about it and envy others.

The faces of Old Man Su and his family were frighteningly gloomy. This honor that brought glory to their ancestors should have belonged to their Su family.

But in the end, they were pushed out by them, and they regretted it to death.

The eldest family looked extremely unhappy, and their disdain for Su Bei was clearly visible on their faces.

They had high hopes for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but the results were not as expected.

But Su Bei, whom they looked down upon in the past, passed the examinations and became a student and a scholar. How could they accept this?

Old Man Su coughed lightly and said in front of everyone, "I know you look down on Erzhu, but now his son is doing well. For the honor of the Su family, from today on, you must all speak nicely."

Su Sizhu spoke first, patted his chest and said, "Dad, I will definitely get along well with my second brother and obey your orders."

Su Sizhu's eyes rolled quickly. He thought to himself that he must find a way to please his second brother. If he could follow him and enjoy the benefits in the future, he would definitely have a bright future.

Su Sizhu is a typical opportunist, a fence-sitter who will lean towards whichever side benefits him.

The women of the Su family were even more envious and jealous, wishing that it was their own sons who received such honor.

Aunt Li was even more furious, and her blame for her daughter Su Baozhu grew deeper and deeper.

Li deeply doubted the words of the Taoist priest. There was a Taoist priest who was very mysterious but his fortune telling was extremely accurate. He was shocked when he saw Su Baozhu. He once left a message that this woman was invaluable and had endless good fortune.

But they forgot the second half of the sentence: good fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and merits should be accumulated.

After this, the Su family decided that Su Baozhu would be invaluable in the future and doted on her. However, the result was that her only son was left lying in bed, unable to get up again.

Originally, this scholar should have been Su Dong's.

Uncle Su Dazhu was very disappointed with his only son and felt unhappy.

But then he thought of the woman he kept outside, and his heart softened.

Ever since Su Dong became lame, the atmosphere in the Su family has been gloomy, with people sighing all day long, making it impossible to stay there for a whole day.

In addition, Li kept nagging and crying in the house, which made Su Dazhu very annoyed and he could not stay at home.

After a few interactions, he started flirting with a pretty widow in the village and developed a relationship with her.

Now that Huanzhu is pregnant, Su Dazhu plans to bring his new love home soon.
