Su Guangzong looked at Su Sheng expressionlessly.

"Is Han Tiezhu's hand healed?"

"not yet!"

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Su Guangzong took another puff of his pipe.

"Now that the Second Wife has severed her ties with us, we can't go looking for trouble with her at this critical juncture. We can only endure it for now. Besides, the best way is to let Han Tiezhu come forward and teach the Second Wife a lesson for us."

"Dad, I know that too. I just want to deal with that little bitch as soon as possible and give our whole family some peace!"

"You're already an adult, but you still can't keep your cool!"

Su Sheng lowered his head after being scolded by his father.

After a moment of silence, Su Guangzong continued.

"Didn't you tell Han Tiezhu about your plan?"

"Dad, Han Tiezhu was very angry at first and asked me to return the two taels of silver deposit. Later, when I told him about our plan, he immediately smiled and praised our strategy. After the plan was completed, he would give me the remaining eight taels of silver!"

Thinking of the eight taels of silver, Su Sheng rubbed his hands excitedly.

Hu Xiumei and Liu Cuihua also smiled greedily.

Su Guangzong nodded with satisfaction.

"That's all. Now that Han Tiezhu's hand is healed, he'll naturally start. He should be more anxious than us."

Several people thought this made sense. Han Tiezhu was a notoriously arrogant and conceited person. After being beaten by Su Xiaoxiao, he naturally wanted to do everything he could to get revenge and regain his face.

Su Guangzong continued to instruct Su Sheng.

"Don't just lie around at home when you have nothing to do. Go to the second room and see what time Xiao Xiao goes out and comes back every day!"

Su Sheng really didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's arrangement, so he had to agree.

"okay!"

Hu Xiumei asked in confusion, "I don't know what that little bitch does when she goes out every day. I heard she seems to be going to the county town."

Su Guangzong said confidently, "Someone saw her catching fish by the river a few days ago. She must be trading the fish for food!"

"What? The second house has food again? No, I'm going to grab it back. They don't deserve it!"

As Hu Xiumei was speaking, she was about to get up and go out, but was stopped by Su Guangzong.

"Come back! You're really short-sighted! Are you going to ruin your plan just for a little profit? Don't you want the eight taels of silver?"

Hu Xiumei realized it later and sat back in her original position unwillingly.

"It's just that my precious grandson was wronged and was beaten by that little bitch."

"Just hit him. It's his fault for causing trouble when he has no skills. Don't try to be a hero until you are inferior to others!"

Su Guangzong felt that his tone was a bit harsh, so he softened it and continued, "It doesn't matter if you get beaten up, young man. Just eat some delicious food to replenish your energy!"

Hu Xiumei also agreed, "Yes, yes, I'll ask the third daughter-in-law to cook two more eggs for my eldest grandson later."

Su Hao frowned.

"It's eggs again. I've had enough. I don't want to eat any more!"

Hu Xiumei persuaded her, "How can you say that? Eggs are good things. Our whole family couldn't bear to eat them, so we saved them for you!"

"Grandma, my classmates who live in the county town have returned home. Their families all cook meat for them. Eating meat is good for your health. Who would only eat eggs?"

"We didn't buy any meat!"

"Don't we have chicken at home? Let's stew it and have some chicken!"

"This……"

There are only a few laying hens in the house. If the hens are killed, there will be fewer eggs. Hu Xiumei is reluctant to kill them.

Su Guangzong spoke again.

"Long hair, short knowledge! My grandson wants to eat chicken, then give him some. He's in the process of growing and using his brain, and if he doesn't get enough nutrition, his studies will be affected. Can't you tell which is more important?"

Seeing that Su Guangzong had spoken, Hu Xiumei dared not disobey and had to bear the pain and kill the chicken.

"Okay, I'll ask your third aunt to stew a chicken for you later."

Su Hao felt very happy.

This time when he returns to the academy, he is going to show off that his family can afford to eat chicken.

He was so proud that he got carried away and somehow pulled the wound on his hand, causing him to grimace in pain.

Liu Cuihua was heartbroken and hurried to find medicinal wine.

He scolded Su Xiaoxiao while searching.

"That damned little bitch, how dare she hit my son? Why didn't she just jump into the river and drown?"

After finding the medicinal wine, she didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurried to treat Su Hao's wound.

The slap marks on the face are okay and will disappear in two days, but the dark circles under the eyes may not be completely healed in three to five days.

There was also an injury on the palm of his right hand, and Su Hao was unable to hold a pen and write for several days.

Thinking that Su Hao could only stay at home for three days this time, he suddenly became worried.

Su Hao also thought of this. As long as he hid the wound on his hand well, no one would see it. But the black eye was on his face and could be seen by everyone at a glance. He couldn't just ignore it!

If I go to the academy with dark circles under my eyes, I will definitely be laughed at by the students, and that would be embarrassing.

No, he couldn't lose face.

He discussed it with Su Guangzong.

"Master, can you let me stay at home for a few more days? I can go to the academy after my eyes are better! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. I don't mind being embarrassed, but I'm mainly worried about losing face for our Su family!"

Su Guangzong's calm eyes moved when he heard this.

Su Hao was right. Su Hao was now the face of their Su family.

Su Hao was embarrassed, and the entire Su family was embarrassed.

No, face is important!

"Boss, go to the academy tomorrow and ask for leave for my eldest grandson. Tell him that he's sick and needs to recuperate at home for a few days before going back to the academy."

"Oh, I know, Dad!"

Su Guangzong then said to Su Hao, "Just stay home and study hard to recover from your injuries for the next few days. Don't leave the house until you're fully recovered."

Su Hao agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, I won't leave the house."

After everything was arranged, Su Guangzong felt relieved and took a puff of his pipe.

After a while, Su Jian and Li Lanying came back from the fields.

Li Lanying washed her hands and was about to go into the kitchen to cook. Hu Xiumei heard the noise in the yard, hurried out of the house, and ordered Li Lanying to kill the chicken.

Although Li Lanying had some doubts, she did not dare to ask too much and just followed the instructions.

When Li Lanying was dealing with chicken feathers, Liu Cuihua walked over.

"Third sister-in-law, please remove the chicken feathers, otherwise Su Hao won't like it."

Only then did Li Lanying realize that the chicken was killed for Su Hao to eat.

She replied casually.

"Oh, I understand, sister-in-law!"

Seeing that Li Lanying didn't respond, Liu Cuihua continued, "Dad and Mom still like their grandson. Look, when my Su Hao said he wanted to eat meat, we immediately asked you to kill a chicken."

Although Li Lanying showed no reaction on her face, she felt really sad in her heart.

Hu Xiumei treasured these hens like the apples of her eyes, and she was willing to kill them and eat their meat just for Su Hao.

If she also gave birth to a son, would he also be loved and favored by her parents-in-law like this?

Liu Cuihua saw that Li Lanying's hand paused as she was removing the chicken feathers, and she knew that her words had irritated Li Lanying, and she felt very proud.

"Don't you plan to give birth to another son for the third child?"
