A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

Madam Hu sighed softly and took Su Li's hand:

“Your father is right. We all know you have filial piety, but there are many gossips in this family. Today, you openly confronted your elders. Although you vented your anger, you will inevitably be resented in the future. How can you fight against the powerful? I'm afraid you will suffer in the future.”

Looking at her parents' worried faces, Su Li, though still stern, softened her tone considerably:

“Father, Mother, I know you are worried about me. But I just can’t swallow this. How could they slander our family based on mere suspicion? If I don’t stand up, when will Father’s injury get better? I don’t want to watch us be humiliated like this.”

Su Qingfeng shook his head slightly: "We are family, why talk about disrespecting each other? Your grandmother is old, and it's inevitable that she'll be a little confused."

He pushed the oil paper package on the table toward Su Li, his eyes shining with loving light:

"Dad doesn't like sweets, so you can take them back and eat them. From now on, just take good care of yourself and don't get involved in these troubles anymore. Dad will take care of everything."

"You have your father to take care of things?" Su Li stared quietly at her father's weathered face, a lump forming in her throat from the bitterness in her heart.

Despite being the youngest son in his family, the father bore the brunt of the burdens of the family, with all the responsibilities, both right and wrong, falling on his shoulders alone.

My uncle's family lives in town year-round and never goes home. Not only have they not received a single penny back, but they also often need financial assistance from their family.

My second uncle's family has always been lazy and gluttonous, always shirking their responsibilities when it comes to work, yet they are protected by Old Mrs. Su like a chick.

In the end, the person who was ordered around the most in the whole family was his own father.

My father worked hard without complaint and was always obedient to my grandparents. He never dared to slack off and took on all the dirty and tiring work. Even when he went out to work during the off-season, he would still give all the wages he earned to my grandmother.

But what did all this get us in return?

Despite being blood relatives, they could only watch their father die. In the eyes of the Su family, their father's life was worthless and could be discarded at will after they had used him.

Does that mean that the four families are destined to be treated like slaves, working themselves to the bone to support the whole family, and yet they don't even get a word of praise in return?

An unnamed anger surged within me instantly—

Su Li suddenly scoffed, "Father, how do you plan to shoulder this responsibility? What will you rely on to shoulder it?"

"Who paid for your medical treatment? Who prepared your medicine? Now you're lying paralyzed in bed like a withered tree. What can you carry on your shoulders?"

"If it weren't for us taking care of you so diligently, you would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago. Where were you when Grandma was tormenting Mother and falsely accusing Big Brother of stealing grain?"

"Just keep clinging to your obsession with filial piety. See if your leg injury heals itself from all this nagging all day long, or if the food in the pot floats into your mouth by itself. See if your grandparents and uncles will take care of you when you're away from us—"

Su Li stood up, not giving Su Qingfeng a chance to speak, her face as dark as ink: "It's because Father is always weak and gives in time and time again that we are always bullied."

"Father, you've been dreaming for years; it's time for you to wake up!"

After saying that, Su Li turned and left without hesitation, leaving the two people in the room staring at each other in bewilderment.

Their eyes met, leaving only endless astonishment and melancholy.

Su Qingfeng's face flushed red. His daughter's words kept echoing in his ears, making him feel ashamed and somewhat annoyed.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to explain, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to find the way out.

After a long silence, he finally spoke with difficulty:

"Li'er must be terrified by all these recent events, otherwise why would her personality change so drastically?"

“She used to be the gentlest and most considerate, but now she’s like a hedgehog covered in thorns. She must be terrified to have become like this.”

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault as the father, not the child's fault..."

Su Li's changes are obvious. Without Su Qingfeng, that old workhorse, the changes in the entire Su family are hard to ignore.

Su Li did not regret speaking so harshly to her father. Although the old master and old lady Su did not act in a fair manner and never treated their fourth branch of the family as human beings, if her father had not made concessions time and time again, the other party would not have dared to be so aggressive and unwilling to give an inch.

As a result of Su Li's antics at home these past few days, Grandpa Su has become more attentive when assigning tasks.

This morning's meal was prepared by Grandma Su herself. At the dinner table, the family quietly ate their rice without saying a word.

After everyone had finished eating, Old Master Su looked around and spoke in a deep voice:

"Starting today, we'll officially begin the autumn harvest. The corn on that one acre of land behind the hill has all been harvested. We need to take advantage of the good weather these next few days to dry and thresh it. The peanuts in the fields to the south and the beans planted along the river will rot in the ground if we don't harvest them soon. After we finish these tasks, we'll also need to harvest the rice on those few acres of land at home."

Uncle Su's face grew increasingly grim as he listened. He had spent the entire day in the fields yesterday, and he still hadn't recovered. His arms and legs ached as if they had been ground by a millstone, and he couldn't lift them.

Upon hearing that there were still so many things to do, he became completely deflated.

Uncle Su and Madam Zhou, however, remained expressionless, listening intently while seemingly deep in thought. Old Master Su gave his eldest son a satisfied look and continued:

"We'll all work in the fields together, and as for lunch, we'll take turns cooking! It's not enough to just leave it to the children; they'll eventually need the elders to guide them so they can learn to do things gradually."

After the meal, Grandpa Su took his family to the fields.

As usual, Su Xiangsheng picked up a bamboo pole to herd the ducks into the river. He not only carried a basket on his back, but his arms were also bulging with something he didn't know he was carrying.

Today, Hu Shi and Su Li are the two who stayed home to cook.

Su Li had no objection to the old man's arrangement. It seemed that the old man was also afraid that his granddaughters would cause trouble at home again, which would delay the autumn harvest.

After she finishes cooking, she'll have time to go out and find some medicinal herbs, which is perfect.

The cleaned pork bones were put into the pot to stew. Su Li slowly added firewood to the stove. After the water boiled twice, the aroma filled the whole house.

Lifting the lid, one finds a milky white bone broth inside. Mrs. Hu chopped a few cabbages from the backyard and picked a handful of scallions, washed them, and threw them all into the pot. The vibrant green leaves tumbled and rolled in the boiling broth, a beautiful sight to behold.

"Mom, the dough is ready, we can make the pancakes now."

In Hu's hands, the golden cornmeal magically transformed into palm-sized pancakes, which were then stuck all around the edge of the pan.

Only after putting the lid on the pot did Mrs. Hu breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Li added another piece of firewood to the stove, picked up her basket, and said, "Mother, I'm going out for a while, I'll be right back."

Madam Hu, however, tugged at Su Li's sleeve, gesturing for her to look towards the courtyard gate:

"Li'er, are those peach blossoms?"

In front of the Su family's courtyard, a slender young woman tentatively peered into the house.

"Is...is anyone home? I'm looking for Su Li..."
