Chapter 5: Another troublesome lamp.
A sense of resentment spread wildly within her, like vines binding her and making it hard to breathe.
"There was only some batter left in the pot, so Mom deliberately put some lard in it so your grandma wouldn't see it..."
Mrs. Ma pushed open the door and carefully placed the bowl of porridge she was carrying on the table.
"Zhen'er, let's eat first."
Su Zhen turned around dejectedly: "Mom, I can't swallow this! Grandpa and Grandma aren't protecting us either. What will we do if Fourth Uncle doesn't die this time?"
“We’ve already dragged this out for so long. What good would it do to send him to a clinic? He might not come back alive. Besides, even if he reveals the secret of the space, people will just think he’s delirious. Don’t worry, your mother is here.”
Su Zhen lowered her eyes, her lips still tightly pressed together.
I've planned every step perfectly, so why is this person so hard to kill?
Seeing this, Madam Ma patiently said, "Silly girl, just relax. Do I not know what kind of person your uncle is? It's not even certain whether he can get into the clinic. Are you going to ruin your health over something like this?"
Madam Ma's voice was soft and gentle. Even though Su Zhen had no appetite, her tone softened, "Mother, how can we eat just this kind of thing? It has no nutrition at all..."
Su Zhen glanced at the dry, battered dough on the table and rubbed her temples wearily.
As she was speaking, Ma felt a blur before her eyes, and suddenly a pile of food appeared on the table.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried beef with scallions, steamed sea bass, two cold dishes, and a plate of sliced fruit.
However, the most attractive dish is the glistening braised pork belly in the center, its bright red color and fragrant aroma making it look like it just came out of the pot, still steaming.
"Zhen'er, isn't it too much for just the two of us to eat?"
Su Zhen looked at her mother, her eyes filled with tenderness, and said softly with a hint of helplessness, "Mother, there are still many of these things in the space."
"Alright, after we've eaten, let's think about how to deal with those people in the fourth branch of the family. Oh, and don't forget to bring your grandmother some calming soup on time."
Mrs. Ma slightly raised her head and solemnly reminded her daughter.
Su Zhen paused for a moment, then realized what she meant and nodded in agreement.
After the meal, Ma took out a medicine pot and squatted in a corner of the backyard to carefully decoct the medicine.
It could be described as decocting medicine, but a closer look would reveal that the pot contained no medicinal herbs at all, but rather just leaves casually torn from the back mountain.
Ma brought the decocted medicine back into the house. Upon seeing this, Su Zhen turned around, took out a box of medicine from her spatial storage, broke off a pill, and dissolved the white powder into the soup. After stirring gently a few times, it disappeared completely.
"Mother, I'll take it to Grandma right away." Su Zhen smiled gently.
Inside the main room, after drinking the medicine, Old Mrs. Su felt completely refreshed, especially her shoulders, which had been sore and heavy for many years, which were now completely free of discomfort.
She stretched her shoulders comfortably, her unease instantly dissipating, and smiled as she said to the old man beside her:
"Look how thoughtful Zhen'er is! This medicine feels so good!"
Unfortunately, when I woke up, the pain was still there. It would be even better if it could be completely cured...
Meanwhile, Su Erbo, with an empty stomach, followed along the mountain path for more than half an hour, finally arriving at the small courtyard where Su Dabo was renting before fainting.
The vermilion gate of the courtyard was slightly mottled, and the low wall made of blue bricks was covered with trumpet vines in full bloom, which added a touch of elegance.
Uncle Su's family lived at the very end of the alley.
On weekdays, the eldest son of the eldest uncle, Su Xiangming, studies at Wuyang Academy and rarely comes home.
Uncle Su worked as a shop assistant at a rice shop in town, leaving early and returning late every day. Aunt Su and her daughter Su Yao almost never went out of the house.
Therefore, when Su Li and her entourage drove their donkey cart into the Su family courtyard at the deepest part of the alley, they were immediately noticed by the surrounding neighbors.
“Is this a relative of the Su family? I’ve never seen him before. Look, there’s another one lying behind that donkey cart.”
"Could the eldest son of the Su family have gotten into some trouble? I've been knocking on the door for so long and he still hasn't come out. I saw him walk in with my own eyes this evening!"
Su Li stood behind her elder brother, coldly staring at the tightly closed courtyard gate in front of her.
Whether no one was home or they were pretending not to hear, there was complete silence behind the door, except for the "bang bang" of knocking echoing in the boundless darkness.
"Cough cough..."
Su Qingfeng, who was behind the donkey cart, started coughing for no reason.
His face grew paler and paler, and he was as weak as a flickering candle in the wind, each sound as if he was exhausting his last breath.
His breath was so faint and intermittent, it was heartbreaking.
"Dad! Hang in there a little longer, we're going to see the doctor soon, Dad, don't leave us, sob sob..."
Su Xiangsheng lay on the edge of the donkey cart, wanting to get closer, but worried about running over his father. At such a young age, he tried his best to suppress his fear and sobbed softly.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang—"
His blood surged, Su Xiangyang clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and he pounded on the door with almost all his might.
"Uncle, are you home? Uncle, please open the door! My father is waiting for money to save his life, Uncle!"
At that moment, his mind went blank, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his neck.
Only one thought remained in his mind: as long as he could break down this door, his father would be saved; as long as he saw his uncle, his father would be alright!
"Big brother! Big brother, stop smashing it!" Su Li rushed forward and hugged her brother's arm. Looking at the fist under his sleeve, it was covered in blood.
A crowd of onlookers had already gathered behind him.
These people either whispered to each other or discussed in hushed tones; some were worried, some were curious, but most were indifferent.
Su Li took a deep breath, looked up at the still tightly closed door, her expression complex:
"The noise outside is so loud that it would wake someone up even if they were asleep. We've been knocking on the door for so long. It seems that my uncle and aunt must have gone out on something and are not home right now."
"Sigh, let's go! Excuse me, everyone, please make way..."
Su Xiangyang's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled: "Leave? Where to? What about Father? What will happen to Father?"
Are we just going to stand by and watch our father die?
Grandpa and Grandma have already agreed, how can they just go back like this?
Su Li stopped in her tracks and gave him a strange look: "Of course we're going to Wuyang Academy to find Brother Xiang Ming! Where else would we go?"
Su Xiangyang was immediately stunned.
Silence fell over the area, and everyone looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.
Su Li stepped forward, grabbed the donkey cart rope, and seemingly unintentionally placed it outside the courtyard gate, raising her voice:
“My cousin Xiangming is studying at Wuyang Academy. He can’t possibly go on a long trip with my uncle and the others, can he? But if we go to the academy to find him now, we’ll inevitably cause him some trouble.”
"But the teachers in the academy are very learned, and the students are also well-versed in the classics. There must be a reason for this. I believe they will not blame us country folk, nor will they look down on Brother Xiangming because of this."
If even Brother Xiangming isn't here, we'll have no choice but to swallow our pride and borrow money from his classmates and friends. There's just no other way..."
With a loud bang, before Su Li could finish speaking, the courtyard gate behind her suddenly opened.
