The old house of the Su family.

Su Guangzong sat on a rocking chair in the yard, holding a palm-leaf fan in one hand, patting his thigh with the other, humming a tune and rocking back and forth.

Thinking that I can earn another eight taels of silver today, I feel very happy.

He shouted to his third daughter-in-law who was cooking in the kitchen.

"My third daughter-in-law, boil me an egg and have some wine to celebrate."

Upon hearing the voice, Li Lanying immediately put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands with her apron, and walked up to Su Guangzong.

she asked tentatively.

"Dad, do you want to cook one for Mom too?"

"Why would a woman like her eat eggs? One boiled egg is enough. The rest will have to wait for my eldest grandson to come back from his holiday."

As he spoke, he took out a key from his waist and Li Lanying took it with both hands.

All the delicious food in the house was locked in a big wooden box. No one was qualified to eat it without Su Guangzong's permission, including Hu Xiumei.

"Hey, good!"

Li Lanying turned around to get the eggs, then obediently handed the key to Su Guangzong and continued to go into the kitchen to cook.

Because Li Lanying and Su Jian, the third son of the Su family, only had a daughter and no son, she had no status in the Su family for many years.

When Su Yong was alive, the second wife's family helped share the burden. Now that Su Xiaoxiao and her family of three have been kicked out of the house, all the work has fallen on the third wife.

After finishing farm work every day, I have to go home on time to cook for the whole family.

Three meals a day, no meal should be missed, otherwise there will be a particularly harsh scolding.

Su Guangzong put the key in his pocket, continued to close his eyes and rest, enjoying the good time, waiting for lunch.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

It was Su Jian who ran in from outside, panting.

"Dad... Dad... No... Something's wrong!"

Just now, when the three of them came back from the fields, he was sent out by his father to monitor the situation outside Su Xiaoxiao's house.

He didn't know that his family was going to sell Su Xiaoxiao to Han Tiezhu as his wife.

After figuring out the situation, I almost dropped my jaw in shock.

He couldn't understand why his family treated his second brother's child like this.

At the same time, he thought of his daughter Su Xiaohua.

Su Xiaohua is twelve years old this year. In a few years, when she reaches the age of coming of age, will her family cruelly sell her for money?

He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he hope that such a day would come.

Su Guangzong, who had no idea what his second son was thinking, still maintained his leisurely posture. He glanced at Su Jian coldly and blamed him.

"What are you panicking about? You're already an adult, but you're still so unstable."

Su Jian bent over, supported his hands on his thighs, and gasped for breath.

"Dad, the village chief is bringing people to our house."

Su Guangzong suddenly felt something was wrong and sat up abruptly.

"Didn't Han Tiezhu take the person away?"

"no!"

"A few grown men can't even handle a little girl. What a waste!"

"Xiao Xiao wants to break off the relationship!"

"what?"

Su Guangzong slapped the armrest of the rocking chair hard.

"You bastard, you're rebelling against her!"

His granddaughter has always been timid and has no opinions of her own. Why did she suddenly change her personality and even dare to propose breaking off the engagement?

Is there someone instigating this behind the scenes?

Looking across Dahe Village, who would dare to go against the Su family? They were just looking for trouble.

He wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao in person.

"Where are they?"

"It should be here soon."

"Okay, I get it. Just go do what you need to do!"

Su Guangzong lay back in the rocking chair, his expression as normal as if nothing had happened.

Su Jian wanted to persuade his father a few more words, but in the end he didn't say anything and went to the kitchen to help Li Lanying cook.

After a while, Village Chief Cao arrived with a group of people.

Su Guangzong hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Why are you here, village chief? Come in and sit down! Oh, why are there so many villagers following us? What happened?"

Village chief Cao suppressed his anger.

"Such a big thing happened at home, and you were completely unaware of it?"

Su Guangzong looked puzzled.

"What is it?"

"They forced Su Xiaoxiao to marry Han Tiezhu, and now she wants to split up the family!"

"Is this true?" Su Guangzong pretended to be surprised.

"My bitch did go out, but she didn't tell me where she went. I'll question her when she comes back."

Village chief Cao knew Su Guangzong's smiling tiger character well, and looked at him with a dark face, doubting the truth of his words.

Although he was very angry, he suppressed his anger and persuaded patiently.

"Brother, they are all your children. We can't treat them all equally, but we can't be too harsh either. Just give Su Yong's wife and children a chance to live."

"Village chief, what do you mean?" Su Guangzong continued to pretend to be confused.

Village Chief Cao expressed his opinion first regardless of what the other party said.

"If the mother and her two children were really forced to death and someone died, no one could afford the consequences."

"If the government office is alerted, I, as the village chief, will have to handle the matter impartially."

Su Guangzong was a smart man and knew that he could not get away with it by pretending to be stupid. He did not want to offend the village chief, nor did he want to ruin his reputation, so he immediately changed his strategy and put all the blame on Hu Xiumei.

This is also a trick that the old couple often uses.

"As the head of the village, you must be impartial and not partial. I really don't know how my stinky wife made the decision on such a small matter."

"I'm sorry for being useless and failing to control my wife. I've caused you so much trouble. But don't worry, when she comes back, I'll definitely teach her a lesson and make her come to my house to apologize."

Village chief Cao raised his hand to stop him.

"You don't have to apologize to me. Just agree to sever ties with Su Xiaoxiao and her son."

"Is this really a small idea?" Su Guangzong still had some doubts.

"Yes!"

Su Xiaoxiao shouted and walked out from behind the crowd with strong steps and a firm look in her eyes.

When Su Guangzong saw Su Xiaoxiao, he walked over a few steps with a distressed look on his face.

"I'm sorry for what I've done to you, kids. It's all Grandpa's fault for not being able to take good care of you."

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't want to deal with this sweet-mouthed but treacherous person, but in order to smoothly divide the family, she had no choice but to go along with it.

Doesn’t Su Guangzong like acting? Then let’s see who can act more realistically.

She pinched herself hard when no one was paying attention.

His nose felt sore, tears welled up in his eyes, he looked aggrieved, and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Grandpa, if you truly love your granddaughter, please agree to sever the relationship. I can no longer endure the torture from grandma and my aunt. Please give me a way out, and give my mother and my brother a way out."

"Just think of it... just think of it as a favor for my dead father! Wuuwuwu... Wuuwuwu..."

As she said this, she was about to kowtow and beg, but Su Guangzong grabbed her.

"Good boy, no, no, don't do that. If you have something to say, let's talk it out. Don't cry, grandpa feels bad!"

Su Xiaoxiao secretly complained in her heart: This old fox’s acting is pretty good, he should be awarded an Oscar for Villain!

Su Guangzong's move also stunned the onlookers and Village Chief Cao.

Shouldn't Su Guangzong hysterically scold Su Xiaoxiao for being so audacious and refuse to break off the engagement?

Why is your attitude so good?
