Chapter 4 An Outburst in Silence
The Su family was not particularly large.
Grandpa Su Dashan and his wife, Sun, had three sons and one daughter.
The only daughter, Su Qingxiang, was the third child in the family. She married a peddler in her early years, and later the couple used their savings to open a small general store in the city and settled down.
The eldest son, Su Qingyi, married a woman surnamed Zhou from a neighboring village. The couple had a son and a daughter. Their eldest son, Su Xiangming, was quite talented in his studies and was sent to a private school in town from a young age. Their daughter, Su Yao, also lived with the couple in town and rarely returned to the village.
The only families remaining with the two elders were those of the second son, Su Qingtian, and the fourth son, Su Qingfeng.
Su Qingtian and Madam Ma had only one daughter, Su Zhen.
Su Qingfeng and his wife, Ms. Hu, have three children: their eldest son, Su Xiangyang; their second daughter, Su Li; and their youngest son, Su Xiangsheng.
Su Xiangyang is honest and kind, and loves his younger siblings. He is the only one among the younger generation of the Su family who is already married.
At this moment, in front of everyone, Old Master Su's lips trembled and he couldn't utter a single word. He stood there, his gaze fixed on Su Xiangyang, as if he were seeing this grandson for the first time.
"You heartless bastard, what are you talking about dividing the family property? Aren't you cursing your grandfather to die? I'll beat you to death!"
Grandma Su was so angry that she started cursing and punching Su Xiangyang hard, yelling, "I've worked so hard to raise such a bunch of ungrateful wretches! Heaven has no eyes!"
"Xiangyang, you've always been the most sensible child in the family. You know the family's hardships!"
Old Master Su spoke with difficulty, his wrinkles appearing even deeper.
“Your grandmother and I are still alive, so there’s no reason for us to separate the family property. Besides, it’s harvest time right now. How can you possibly handle all that work in the fields by yourself? I’ll pretend you never said anything just now.”
Grandpa Su's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone in the Su family except for the fourth branch. The fourth branch was known for being obedient and hardworking, and they took care of most of the household chores.
However, Su Zhen, who was at the back of the crowd, clenched her fists in secret upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
If the four bedrooms are separated and lived in separately, the chances of the space being exposed will be greatly reduced.
As for who does the housework, what does that have to do with me?
She has plenty of supplies in her space; she doesn't need the Su family to support her.
However, Su Xiangyang has always been stubborn, and once he says something, there's no reason for him to take it back.
The family was busy with their own things, and Grandpa Su and his second uncle's family were completely ignored.
After carefully settling Su Qingfeng in, Su Xiangyang looked up again and examined the family. He spoke calmly:
"Sir, it's harvest time now. Don't worry, I won't shirk any of the work. As for how much we'll get after the division of the family property, that's entirely up to you."
"The land and grain allocated to us will be given to the Su family first. If Uncle and Uncle want to buy, just give them a call."
"The village head is here. Do you have any other requests?"
Old Master Su's lips were pressed into a tight line, his face extremely grim. Su Zhen stepped forward, walked to the front of the group, and earnestly said:
"Second cousin, we're family. Do we really have to come to this? How many families in our village have ever separated? You're saying these things in front of everyone in the village. You're putting our whole family in a very difficult position."
A hint of smugness lingered in her eyes as she spoke, her gaze fixed intently on Su Xiangyang's face.
Su Zhen believed she knew the Su family members quite well.
People like Su Xiangyang, who are not good at speaking and are straightforward, are the most stubborn. Once they make up their minds about something, nothing can change their minds.
The more you try to stop him from dividing the family property, the more he will feel that it is inevitable.
In this way, he was able to fulfill his wish.
"Yes, we can't break the rules set by our ancestors!"
“Zhen’s words make sense. How can we separate the family just because of a quarrel?”
"Dividing up a family property is not such a simple matter..."
Looking at Su Zhen, who was shamelessly generous with other people's money, Su Li felt as if she had instantly returned to the time shortly after her father's death in her previous life.
The family worked hard in the fields under the scorching sun, their hands covered in cracks, one after another, which looked frightening.
My second uncle's family is always cunning and deceitful, yet they have the best food, clothing, and daily necessities of the whole family.
Su Zhen always has a new set of clothes and new jewelry.
Su Li voiced her doubts, only to be met with a severe scolding from her grandmother.
Su Li initially thought it was her grandmother supporting her second uncle, but it wasn't until after her death that she learned Su Zhen had been secretly reselling spatial resources all along.
My second uncle's family lived a more comfortable life than landlords, thanks to their access to the space.
“Zhen’er, I know you’re doing this for the family’s sake,”
Su Li lowered her head slightly, seemingly trying to suppress her emotions.
"But look at your clothes, how beautiful they are, how exquisite the embroidery is. My parents go to the fields before dawn every day, sweating profusely, so tired they can't straighten their backs, and their clothes are covered with patches upon patches."
“We never ask for anything, after all, even ten fingers are not all the same length. But now, I only hope that my father can live. Is such a humble wish wrong?”
Everyone was speechless.
Yes, the Su family's fourth branch was fighting to divide the family property, wasn't it because they were forced into a corner that they thought of selling houses and land to save people?
They just didn't want to watch their loved ones die, what's wrong with that?
"Pah! What family? I've never seen anyone drive their son's family to their deaths!"
"Look at Su Lao Er's wife, those clothes are brand new, and her hair is covered in osmanthus oil. And she still says she doesn't have money for medical treatment? She's kidding me!"
"Tsk, they have spare money to send their eldest grandson to school, but no money to treat Su Laosi's medical problems..."
The villagers got more and more excited as they talked, and what started as whispers gradually turned into a blatant discussion, with their words becoming increasingly offensive.
Grandpa Su's face turned bright red, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
He wanted to say that he wasn't that kind of person and had never had those dirty thoughts, but who would believe him?
“Brother Dashan, Xiangyang and the others are not bad kids. Qingfeng has always been filial and hardworking. We have seen all of this. After all, we are family. Don’t hurt the children’s feelings.”
The village head stepped forward, blocking Old Master Su's path, his face darkening.
"Just tell me whether you're going to take her to the hospital or not!"
Grandpa Su stood quietly in the courtyard, his gaze wandering around uncertainly. He felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he had endless bitterness to express, but in the end he swallowed all his grievances, helplessness and pain.
“Send it, send it to the town clinic immediately! No matter how down on my luck I am or how much people look down on me, I will never abandon my son.”
Grandpa Su slowly turned around, his face as calm as a still lake, but his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves without him even realizing it.
"Second brother, you should also go and lend a hand. Today's troubles all started because of you! As for the money, I only have half a string of cash left. Take it with you, and go to town to get the rest from your eldest brother."
With Grandpa Su's approval, this farce can be considered halfway over.
The villagers who had gathered outside the Su family's courtyard gradually dispersed, and the Su family members hurriedly packed their belongings to send the person to town.
"Sister, have a steamed bun!"
Su Xiangsheng suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a basket of steamed buns. He stumbled over to Su Li and stuffed a hot steamed bun into her hand.
Su Li was stunned for a moment, then took the steamed bun, gently touched her younger brother's face, and asked with heartache, "Does it still hurt?"
Su Xiangsheng quickly shook his head, hurriedly replied "It doesn't hurt," and then turned back towards his mother with the basket in his arms.
Inside the second room, Su Zhen stood motionless by the window.
Those terrifying gazes, like sharp swords, shot straight at everyone in the courtyard.
Having lived two lives, she had actually fallen for a country girl; this was an utter disgrace.
