Chapter 89 The Duck's Fault
After being "tortured" by the ducks' quacking for several days, Uncle Su finally couldn't sit still any longer.
With the day of Xiangming's imperial examination drawing ever closer, the boy simply cannot concentrate on his studies. What will become of him if this continues?
Uncle Su arrived at the door of the west room, raised his hand to knock, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
He frowned slightly, his expression full of struggle, but after hesitating for a long time, he slowly pushed open the door.
There was no other way; for Xiang Ming's sake, it didn't matter if he, as the father, lost some face!
At that time, Su Li was tidying up her clothes inside the house.
Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw her uncle standing at the door, fidgeting with his hands in front of him, his left foot slightly back half a step, his eyes darting away, not daring to meet Su Li's gaze.
Su Li chuckled inwardly, but deliberately feigned surprise, putting down the clothes she was carrying and quickly stepping forward to greet them.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
Uncle Su swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and his face trembled.
Damn it, that damn girl, she actually forced me to bow my head. He's an elder, after all.
He gritted his teeth, as if making a tremendous decision, and said with a forced smile:
“Li’er, your uncle has come today to talk to you about something. I’m sorry about what happened with the vegetable garden last time. I was blinded by greed and did something really dishonest. I’ve come to apologize to you sincerely. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me.”
He lowered his head slightly, quietly concealing the hatred in his eyes.
Seeing her uncle apologize so readily, Su Li finally felt a release of the pent-up anger she had been holding in for so long.
But she maintained a humble smile, her lips curving upwards, revealing a gentle expression, and said softly:
"Uncle, what are you saying! Let bygones be bygones. I haven't taken it to heart at all. Please don't worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Su nodded hurriedly, forcing a smile, "Yes, yes, you're right. We're family, there's no need for any grudges to last overnight..."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Su Li's face, carefully observing her expression.
Seeing that she seemed unaffected, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, then scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
“Hey, Li, there’s something else… Could you tell Asheng not to herd Xiangming past the window when he’s studying anymore? You know, your cousin has exams coming up soon, and with this commotion, he won’t be able to concentrate on his studies.”
Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes widened instantly, and she immediately stood up.
"Oh dear, did Asheng bother my eldest cousin these past two days? I had no idea! Uncle, don't worry, I'll have a good talk with him and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again."
Uncle Su waved his hands repeatedly, a grateful expression on his face. "That's good, that's good. Thank you so much, Uncle."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Uncle Su left as if he were fleeing.
As night fell, the warm yellow candlelight flickered gently.
Uncle Su and Madam Ma sat on the edge of the bed, surrounded by a soft halo of light.
Uncle Su leaned slightly closer to Madam Ma, his eyes gleaming with schadenfreude. He lowered his voice, his tone full of smug delight.
"Look at them, the eldest and fourth families are arguing fiercely over that little bit of money, while we just sit here and watch the show. It's so interesting."
Thinking about the back-and-forth between the two families, he couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and let out a barely audible laugh.
Mrs. Ma's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, her lips curled up high, and she couldn't hide her smugness.
She gently patted Uncle Su's arm and said reproachfully, "Keep your voice down, walls have ears, don't let anyone hear you."
As the laughter subsided, Uncle Su's expression turned serious. He grasped Madam Ma's hands with both of his, his eyes full of concern. "By the way, you've been drinking that fertility-enhancing medicine for quite some time now. How are you feeling?"
He leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Madam Ma, full of anticipation.
A blush instantly rose to Ma's cheeks. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and longing. She unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, her voice as soft as a spring breeze.
"I feel great. I feel much lighter lately. Maybe, before long, we'll be able to get what we want."
Although the two have been married for over a decade, their embrace at this moment felt like a return to their youth.
Ma's eyes sparkled. If she could successfully conceive a boy this time, she would have no regrets in this life.
In the future, her son will definitely be more successful than her sister-in-law's son, and she will no longer have to see her sister-in-law showing off in a sarcastic and mean way in front of her.
So, my child, hurry and come into my womb...
However, this heartwarming scene was witnessed by Su Zhen at the door.
Su Zhen stood there, her hands clenched tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.
Her face was filled with struggle and pain, and her lips were so red from being bitten so hard.
Su Zhen's gaze darted back and forth between the two people in the room and the bowl of medicine on the table, her eyes swirling with complex emotions.
The next moment, she took a deep breath, her eyes instantly hardening, as if she had finally made up her mind...
The next day, when the house was empty, Su Zhen crouched down and tiptoed into her parents' room.
When she reached the cabinet, she shakily raised her hand to open the door, but as soon as her fingertips touched the door, she recoiled as if burned.
A struggle flashed in Su Zhen's eyes, but in the end, she slowly opened the cabinet door, inside which more than a dozen unused medicine packets were neatly arranged.
Su Zhen casually picked up a packet of medicine, opened it with trembling hands, and then took out a paper packet from her bosom containing brown powder that she had prepared beforehand.
With a flick of the finger, the powder fell into the medicine packet, blending perfectly with the herbs, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
After sprinkling the powder, she quickly wrapped up the medicine packet and put it back, then took the next packet.
As she repeated the movements, her technique became more and more proficient, but guilt and inner struggle grew wildly in her heart.
Sweat trickled down his cheeks and dripped onto the medicine packet.
"I'm sorry, Mother..."
Her voice trembled, almost inaudible, yet filled with pain.
"But I have to do this. It's for the good of our whole family. Only in this way can our family stay together for a long time..."
After finishing processing all the dozen or so packets of medicine, Su Zhen gently closed the cabinet door, glanced around one last time, and then quickly turned and went back to her room.
As soon as she entered the room, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the bed. Tears welled up in her eyes almost instantly, quickly soaking her pillow...
After she left, a small figure immediately darted out from the bushes opposite the Su family's house.
