Chapter 137 The old man fainted from anger
"This second son of the Su family has always seemed a bit off, I never expected he would have these kinds of things going on."
"Yeah, what kind of luck is that to find bandits' treasure?"
"Maybe they've been doing something shady..."
Upon hearing these words, Uncle Su and his wife blushed and paled in turns, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Madam Ma was also a little flustered. She just couldn't stand the smug attitude of the eldest son's family and wanted to teach them a lesson.
The gold bracelet originally belonged to the two of them; I was merely informing the Zhao family and returning it to its rightful owner.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
But now, the eldest son's family is not only turning the tables on them, but they've also brought up those old stories.
"Sister-in-law, the whole village is watching, don't make false accusations!"
Ma raised her voice, trying to defend herself, but her voice sounded so weak amidst the murmurs of the crowd.
Su Li stood aside, watching the chaotic scene before her, a slight, almost imperceptible sneer appearing on her lips.
This is going to be interesting. Let them keep making a scene, the bigger the better.
She stood there quietly, waiting to see how this farce would end.
The old man has always valued the Su family's reputation. Now that his reputation, built up over many years, has been completely ruined by his eldest and second uncles, how will the old man react...?
Uncle Su was really anxious and didn't want to fight anymore.
Rather than indulging in momentary pleasure, one's wallet is more important.
I've indeed made a considerable amount of money reselling spatial resources these days, but I can't let it all go to my family like last time.
He gave Madam Ma a frantic wink.
Ma immediately understood. Despite the obvious slap mark on her face, her disheveled hair, and her clothes being pulled loose, she still walked steadily back into the house.
A moment later, she calmly walked out, holding two silver ingots in her hand, and spoke crisply:
“Qingtian did find a lot of treasure in the bandit cave before, sold it for a lot of money, spent part of it on buying a house, and saved the rest to supplement his family’s income.”
“I said before that I would give all the money to my parents, but I misremembered. I also kept some for emergencies. Here it is, the rest of the money.”
Looking at the pile of silver coins on the table, no one could find a reason to refute it for the time being.
But when Grandpa Su looked at his second son's family, his brows furrowed, his disappointment almost overflowing, and his voice trembled slightly:
"Second brother, are you treating your family like outsiders? How many things are you hiding from us?"
First it was the house issue, then he secretly hoarded money; he didn't respect his father at all.
The old man was truly heartbroken this time.
Grandma Su glared fiercely at Madam Ma.
It's all because of this troublemaker. She's corrupted the second son so much. He's always listened to his mother since he was little. When did he become such a shameless person?
But seeing her second son's somewhat timid expression, the old lady couldn't bear it and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Oh, old man, don't pressure the kids. The second son is probably having some difficulties. Besides, he's already taken out all the money, hasn't he?"
Zhou, who had been holding back her anger for a long time, could no longer contain herself when she heard the old lady's words, which were clearly meant to exonerate the second branch of the family. She then launched into a tirade against Ma:
"You barren hen, you're jealous of me just because you can't have a son, and you're up to all this underhanded tricks. What are you up to? My son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and you're like a black-eyed rooster, coming up with this terrible idea to ruin our family's reputation. Are you even human?"
"Isn't Xiang Ming your nephew? Doesn't he also have the surname Su? His passing the imperial examination is an honor for our entire Su family. Who gave you the right to throw mud at him?"
Another hen that won't lay eggs.
Ma's lips twitched slightly, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and her tone was gentle yet sharp.
"Sister-in-law, please don't wrong me. I truly love my nephew, how could I be jealous? As for the Zhao family's gold bracelet, I was just telling the truth. Who knew things would turn out like this? I feel wronged too."
The two families started arguing again, and the situation became increasingly out of control.
Uncle Su waved his arms and shouted curses, completely losing his composure.
Uncle Su's face flushed red, and he reached out to grab Uncle Su's collar, but Zhou pushed him away violently.
Zhou and Ma were not to be outdone, pointing at each other and spitting as they spoke.
The entire Su family was shrouded in a foul atmosphere.
Su Li quietly tugged at her mother's sleeve, her eyes full of disdain, and the mother and daughter retreated to the back of the crowd.
"We don't want to get involved in these dirty affairs. Whoever started them should end them."
Those watching the spectacle from outside the courtyard became even more agitated upon seeing this scene.
"The Su family is a complete mess. They seem so harmonious on the surface, but it turns out it's all a lie."
"Exactly, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the future."
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Old Master Su felt dizzy and his head was spinning. He staggered and made a grasping motion in the air with his hands.
"The reputation of the Su family! The good name of the Su family!"
Before he could finish speaking, everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.
She was so angry that she fainted.
"Oh dear, old man!"
Grandma Su rushed over immediately, her voice shrill and urgent, choked with sobs.
"Eldest brother, second brother, are you trying to anger your father to death? Hurry up and take him to the town clinic! Oh dear, what a disaster! How could I have given birth to two such bastards!"
"Fourth brother, and you too, what are you standing there for? Are you going to just watch your father die?"
Everyone then came to their senses and hurriedly lifted Grandpa Su onto the mule cart, taking him to the town clinic that very night.
For several days in a row, the villagers still couldn't help but feel horrified when they talked about this.
"Sigh, is the Su family's luck about to decline?"
“These incidents are getting more and more outrageous.”
"Who says it's not..."
After returning from town, Grandpa Su has been lying in bed without getting up.
The doctor shook his head and said gravely:
"The patient's emotions are too volatile, and he's getting on in years. If this happens a few more times, he might not be so lucky and could suffer a stroke and be bedridden. For now, we should just let him rest and avoid making him angry."
Grandma Su sat on the edge of the bed, holding Grandpa Su's hand, tears streaming down her face:
"Old man, you must get better soon. This family can't do without you..."
The Su family has finally regained a semblance of peace, but undercurrents are still surging beneath the surface.
Su Li naturally pretended not to see it.
These days, she and her mother and sister-in-law are focused on how to make pickled vegetables that are more durable and taste better.
Vegetables grown on one's own land are fine for daily consumption, but if one wants to produce pickled vegetables on a large scale, cooperation with villagers is essential.
Currently, the Su family's medicinal herb field is taking shape, and the first batch of medicinal herbs will soon be harvested, processed, and sent directly to Jishetang.
In the eyes of the villagers, although the eldest and second sons of the Su family were not very reliable, the fourth son of the Su family was a truly honest person.
