Chapter 211: The Secret [Chapter 2]
"What about my stuff!"
Old man Su shouted angrily, and smashed the stool next to him with a snap.
Mrs. Su was scared to cry, both sides of her face were swollen and she didn't dare to cry too loudly, she knew very well her man's temperament, don't look at her temper on weekdays, she was on fire, and she didn't recognize her six relatives, and she especially hated crying, the more she cried, the more she beat him.
So she didn't dare to cry, for fear that the old man would be angry with herself again.
Xu is movement here is too big, and the other people who were still outside were also alarmed, Su Jian'an was the first to run into the house, watching his mother kneel in front of his father and trembling, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "Dad, what's going on? Mom, why did you hit her?"
Old Man Su's tyrannical gaze fell on him, "Get out!"
Without him calling, the Su Jiancheng brothers walked in, and together with their daughters-in-law and children, they looked at Old Man Su blankly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, you get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, get up and talk first. ”
Su Jiancheng, as the boss, has followed Old Man Su for the longest time, so naturally he has seen Old Man Su once beat his daughter-in-law, and he is about to talk about it with a frown.
Old Man Su glared at them with red eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Which of you took my box!"
"Box, what chest?"
Everyone in the Su family looked at each other, and they didn't understand what kind of box could make the old man so angry.
Old man Su took a deep breath, pointed to the pit under the bed and said that he had hidden a box, the contents were very important, and anyone who got their hands on them could pose a fatal threat to him!
However, he was also calm, and carefully looked at everyone present, making sure that the expressions on their faces did not look like pretending, and then his brows furrowed, remembering the consequences that he was most afraid of encountering.
The person who took the box shouldn't be the third child, right?
Old man Su gasped, but thinking that the third child was half illiterate, he didn't know a few words at all and breathed a sigh of relief.
But after thinking about it, there was still a Su Wenxiang who was literate, and Zhang Xinghua was also literate, so he immediately raised his heart, and he didn't care about the old woman who was still kneeling on the ground and crying, so he hurriedly ran out of the door.
Su Ru sat on the ridge of the field, with a pile of yellow straw under her buttocks, watching her mother digging the ground, but wondering in her heart what the old man Su would be to react when he returned to his house and saw the pit.
Not to mention the meaning of those eight letters, plus the pistol and gold bars, it is estimated that it is enough for the old man to ache.
I guess it will be blown up in the air, right?
Su Ru gloated and thought, sure enough, the old man didn't let her wait long, so he hurried to the field.
"What's wrong with Su Bo?"
Zhou Daniu looked at Old Man Su with a heavy face, staring at Su Jianwu, who was digging in another place, and couldn't help but ask.
Old man Su glanced at him gloomily, "I'll help the third child ask for a leave, Da Niu, you help me call him over." ”
Zhou Daniu was still quite afraid of this old man, nodded when he heard this, and immediately ran to call Su Jianwu.
Su Jianwu was carrying a hoe, and when he saw Old Man Su looking for him, he walked over anxiously, bowed his head and called Dad.
He thought that the sixth man had gone back to complain, and Old Man Su came to find him.
"Third child, did you go back to our house yesterday?"
Although he was already in a hurry, Old Man Su still tried his best to keep his composure and took a deep breath before saying to him.
"I lost a box at home, tell me if you see it, it's very important to me. ”
"Box?" Su Jianwu raised his head blankly, and they had the same reaction as Boss Su, "What box?"
Old man Su frowned, "You haven't seen it?"
Su Jianwu smiled bitterly, "I haven't been back, I also went to the town to find friends yesterday." ”
He is not stupid, why don't he understand what Old Man Su meant.
It's a bad feeling to be suspected of being a thief by your father.
"What about your daughter-in-law and children? Have they ever been back?"
Old man Su didn't want to believe that if it weren't for his own family, who else would be able to enter his house.
On weekdays, when he goes out, he locks the door, and only his family knows where to put the key.
"No, Xinghua was also busy yesterday, how can she go back?"
Lao Tzu actually suspected his daughter-in-law and children, Su Jianwu's heart was full of feelings, and his tone also rushed.
"Dad, don't worry, I can't do anything with Xinghua and the children to steal chickens and dogs, if you really lose something, ask the second brother them, I don't know where they are. ”
As he spoke, he said in a deep voice, "I'll go back to work." ”
Old man Su watched him turn his head and continue to dig the ground, and the doubts in his heart deepened.
Since it's not Su Jianwu, who else can there be?
He pursed his lips, his eyes swept over the people working in the field one by one, there were so many people in Dongxiang that he couldn't ask one by one.
Not anyone who is suspected of being a thief can endure without saying a word like Su Jianwu, if he asks, then the reputation of so many years of painstaking management will be completely ruined!
But that box is his lifeline! Who stole his things?!
Old man Su returned home with a gloomy face, and the people in the room looked at him puzzled, as if they didn't understand what important things were missing that could make him so out of shape.
But he was in no mood to explain at this moment, so he entered the house alone, closed the door, and walked over to a large box that usually held a pair.
He carefully took out a new letter from the compartment of the box, which looked very new, unfolded it and slowly looked at the poems on it.
After taking a deep breath, he took out the matches he used for smoking on weekdays, found a candle and lit it, and slowly looked at the font on it under the candlelight.
If an outsider were here, they would be surprised to find that the letter was just an ordinary poem, but if you look through the candlelight, you can see another layer of words hidden in the page.
This is a record of the secret he has been guarding for so many years.
Thinking of the missing box, Old Man Su sighed secretly.
"The third child...... Don't blame me for being a father, who called your existence too much of an eyesore...... Someone wants to control you, and I, the father, am just an errand runner. ”
As he spoke, he took out the white medicine bottle that had been sent with the letter, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, with a hint of bloodthirsty cruelty!
Fortunately, he didn't put these two things in that box together, otherwise even if he wanted to do it, he would have run out of medicine, and it would be difficult to control Su Jianwu.
Su Jianwu's family has become more and more disobedient, and it is not bad that he can let him marry a wife and have children for so many years.
If he is obedient......
Old man Su sighed, thinking with some regret.
