I just want to die of old age

Chapter 450: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Group’s Favored Girl 23

Susie, on the other hand, has a good alcohol tolerance and claims that she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but it is unknown whether this is true or not.

The eldest brother Susie picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the wine, and drank it down cheerfully: "I won't leave until I'm drunk."

Su Yuzhu's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said expectantly, "Let's celebrate next time and continue to eat hot pot."

"That requires my second brother to work hard."

"Brother, maybe next time we'll celebrate for you."

"It will definitely be my turn next time."

The eldest brother Su Bei had never tried spicy soup. He picked up a mushroom and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly. He immediately felt an unfamiliar spicy taste filling his mouth.

“It’s so spicy.”

Su Yuzhu shook her head helplessly, picked up the kettle next to her, poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

Big brother Susie drank it in one gulp, which relieved the spicy taste in his mouth. But he just savored it for a moment and felt that it was a little spicier, and the taste was even more unique.

His eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly, "Mm, it's delicious. A real man should eat spicy food."

Big brother Susie picked up some of the dishes from the spicy soup again. It was so spicy that he exclaimed that it was delicious. He started eating and gradually got used to the taste. He liked it more and more.

"Second brother, you should try it too. The taste is really exciting."

Second brother Su Bei frowned slightly, wondering if this was chili pepper.

He picked up a piece of fish fillet and tasted it, and it was so spicy that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose.

"Ahem..."

Su Yuzhu's eyes were full of smiles as she pushed the glass of water over.

My second brother is always calm, and this is the first time I see his expression change.

Su Bei drank a sip of water and felt better, but he never touched spicy soup again.

Su Yuzhu coughed lightly.

Su Yuzhu asked, "Second brother, have we reported the matter of the improved seed to the court?"

"I have already written to the master, and he has written a memorial to report to His Majesty, and he will send someone to witness it in person."

"That's good. These days, the villagers have become more and more curious, and many of them are gathered around our fields to look at them."

"The county government will also send officials to maintain order, so it won't affect the subsequent harvest."

Su Yuzhu felt relieved when she heard him say that.

The second brother has always been steady in his work, and he has a knowledgeable dean as his teacher, who is the great scholar he once saved.

Su Yuzhu only understood after she went to the capital.

Xiao Xiangqing is no simple person. He passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer at the age of 20. At the age of 30, he became the prime minister, in charge of all officials. Later, he also taught the current emperor. He was an imperial tutor of considerable status.

He has retired now, but his students are all over the world, and he is the dean of the famous Qingmiao Academy in the capital.

At first, Su Bei never thought about doing anything with the life-saving grace, but later when he was studying, he gradually started to contact her.

Xiao Xiangqing happened to see Su Bei's water control strategy and admired his talent, so he accepted him as his apprentice, and this was his last disciple.

Su Yuzhu was lost in thought when her second brother Su Bei suddenly stood up and everyone looked over.

His cheeks were red, his eyes were wandering, and his pupils were not focused. It was obvious that he was drunk.

Su Bei no longer had his usual calm and composed demeanor. He stood there unsteadily, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, reciting a poem: "Before the world worries about itself, be happy after the world is happy..."

"When will the bright moon come? I'll ask the blue sky for my wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky."

Su Yuzhu sat on the chair, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with smiles, staring intently at her second brother Su Bei.

Haha...I didn't expect you to be such a good second brother!

He is quite good at pretending.

……

Some are happy and some are sad.

Old Su was so worried that he returned home in a mess. He then overturned the pot and started making a big fuss.

Su Sizhu frowned. When he thought about having such a powerful backer but not being able to get any benefits, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"What should I do? I've completely offended the second brother's family."

Old Man Su's eyes were gloomy, and his hands behind his back were clenched into fists. His eyes kept turning as he thought about countermeasures, but there was no effective method.

Using filial piety to oppress the second wife's family has no effect at all.

What's more, now their family has the county magistrate as their backer.

How could ordinary people like them dare to offend officials?

In addition, his grandson Su Bei also has a master as his teacher. It is said that the master used to be a high-ranking official in the capital and cannot be offended easily.

Otherwise, with just a little effort, their family would not be able to survive in the village.

Old Lady Su's face was grim, and she pointed a trembling finger at her aunt, Li, cursing, "It's all your fault for not living up to your expectations. The son you gave birth to is also not up to the mark. Not only did he fail the exam to become a scholar, but he also became a useless cripple. You old hen that doesn't lay eggs, I should have my eldest brother divorce you."

Old Mrs. Su certainly doesn't think she did anything wrong.

So she pushed all the problems onto her aunt.

Aunt Li was horrified and blurted out, "Mother, how can this be blamed on me? It's all Baozhu's fault for dragging Su Dong up the mountain, causing him to break his leg. Otherwise, it would have been my son who passed the exam. Why was it my son who broke his leg instead of Baozhu?"

After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't stop crying.

Su Baozhu showed an expression of disbelief on her face. She had been treated coldly by the Su family these days, but it was still hard for her to believe that her mother, who had once loved her so much, would actually say such cruel words to her.

Su Baozhu's eyes flashed with hatred, and she said with a face full of blame: "Mom, how can you blame me for this? It's all my brother's fault for being careless and letting the stone hit him. How could you say such cruel words?"

She gradually developed hatred towards the Su family. It turned out that they all favored boys over girls.

Ever since Su Dong broke her leg, and her good luck disappeared inexplicably, and she didn't pick up any good things, the Su family treated her worse and worse.

Several aunts often pushed the housework to her, and she was no longer treated like the eldest daughter she used to be.

Aunt Li was afraid of being divorced, so she looked at Su Baozhu with a reproachful look: "Aren't you a lucky star? You couldn't bless your eldest brother to be safe and sound, and he even broke his leg. You are the unlucky star."

Su Baozhu clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress the humiliation in her heart.

Sooner or later they will all regret it.

Su Sizhu curled his lips and said unhappily, "Su Dong has wasted so much tuition for so many years, only to be admitted as a student. He has no talent for studying at all and can't be compared with Su Bei at all. Your family's private affairs are not important now. What's important is how to save the second brother's family."

Xiao Ye quickly said, "My husband is right. Su Bei has a bright future ahead of him. We must not offend him again."

Old Lady Su's eyes were filled with cruelty as she shouted at the top of her voice, "They are all ungrateful and don't even acknowledge their own family. What hope do we have? I'm going to the government to accuse them of being unfilial and have them all arrested."
