Chapter 4: The Superb
This is her Su Qiqi's fourth aunt, Zhu Shizhu Taohua, a woman with a sharp mouth and shallow eyelids. From the original memory, I know that this woman has always relied on Su Laosi to be a son, and Aunt Su has always taken it seriously, so she often bullied this honest mother-in-law.
"Eat, eat... Mother, Mei'er wants to eat eggs..."As soon as the three-year-old cousin saw Su Qiqi's egg custard that had only eaten two bites, she pounced on her and wanted to get down on her.
"Ouch, Mei'er can't rob this, this is what your second brother made for your little seventh brother to eat, you are a good boy, we are not hungry for food." Zhu Taohua seemed to be hugging her daughter hard, not letting her pounce, but in fact, the child was already sitting on the bench next to Su Qiqi.
Su Qiqi frowned, these four aunts are really good at speaking, and they can't see that they are village women.
said that her three-year-old daughter is a good child and does not eat, so her seven-year-old "man" is a good foodie?
Su Qiqi originally thought that it was just a bowl of egg custard, but it was nothing to give to this little cousin.
But seeing that her parents are eating vegetables without oil, and this fourth aunt has always been a sharp one, so she covered her hand with a long sneeze and sprayed at the egg custard...
Zhu Taohua was so frightened when she saw Su Qiqi's heavy sneezing that she hugged her daughter far away: "Qiqi, you are really uneducated, can this sneeze come to the rice bowl?" β
Su Qiqi deliberately raised his head and still covered his nose with his hand: "Mother, mother, there is snot..."

Liu Sanniang heard Zhu Taohua say that her daughter was uneducated, and she was annoyed: "The fourth brother and sister said that, Qiqi has been sick for so many days and only woke up today, and he is so thin that he has lost two taels of flesh. Her third aunt looked distressed, and specially sent two eggs over for her to make up for it, why did it become a gluttony? Don't you see that she's still in good shape? At a young age, his body is weak, how can he become uneducated when he sneezes? β
Liu Sanniang, who was still annoyed, almost laughed when she saw Su Qiqi's grimace under the cotton towel. The anger was much lower, but the voice was still cold: "What is the matter with the fourth brother and sister at this time?" β
Zhu Taohua stood far away with her daughter in her arms with a disgusted look, and when she heard Liu Sanniang's question, she immediately had a very strange look in her eyes: "Didn't my mother ask me to let your family of three go to the main house." She told you to hurry up, I have something to say..."
Liu Sanniang didn't pay attention to Zhu Taohua's expression, and when she heard this, she immediately remembered what her mother-in-law said today, and her face immediately turned ugly: "Xianggong..."
Su Ercheng glanced at the four brothers and sisters coldly, and when he saw Liu Sanniang's worried expression: "Let's eat, let's talk about it later." β
The three of them entered the main house, and saw Father Su and Aunt Su sitting directly above the square table under the oil lamp, and Su Dacheng and his wife, Su Sancheng and his wife, and Su Sicheng and his wife each sat on one side.
Seeing that Su Ercheng and his wife entered the door, Aunt Su pointed to the stools in the two corners below and said dissatisfiedly: "Let's sit on one side." Such a big child, still half dead, what are you doing in and out? When you're so old, won't you be able to sleep at home by yourself? I think this child is so weak, maybe it's what you parents are used to! β
Liu Sanniang hugged Su Qiqi and sat next to her third aunt Zhu Jiang. didn't hear Aunt Su's words, but lowered her head and smiled apologetically at her daughter bitterly.
As soon as the two of them fell off their buttocks, Aunt Su said again with a tense face: "Ercheng, I called you here today to set up what I told you this morning." Today's matter is settled now, and tomorrow morning I will go to Lizheng to witness it. I heard that Qiqi's illness this time was the silver sent by your apprentice, and the millet was not sold. In this way, let's hang Ming'er's rations over in the afternoon. β
He didn't have the right to speak, so what did they do as a couple?
Su Ercheng stood up and pulled Liu Sanniang and said, "Since my mother has decided, then my mother has the final say." This year, the millet at home has not been confiscated, and there are still forty or fifty catties left over from last year's harvest, and my family of three has to eat for more than a month. If you think you want it all, then take it too, it's a big deal for our couple to take a meal with Qiqiyi. β
Rations are life-saving things, and the child's body is a little better, if you don't feed her again, don't you want to see her grow up? And what my mother saw in her eyes was the little food in their family.
Aunt Su's words really broke Su Ercheng's heart, her own mother knew that all the children in this family had not been brought one by one, and Qiqi had been weak since birth. If she hadn't been raised by medicine, maybe she would have been gone a long time ago, but this grandmother actually wanted to force him to live with food.
Is it because I couldn't get used to marrying this daughter-in-law at the beginning? No matter how filial her daughter-in-law is to her, she can't cover that heart. They are all sons, they are all grandchildren, and their daughters are still dressed as grandsons, but why doesn't her own grandmother treat her as a living person? Do you have to ask the eldest brother's child to pass on to him?
Even if his child is a daughter, as long as she gets better in the future, with his craftsmanship, he can't earn her a family business? As long as the family business is big, what if it is a daughter? He can recruit a son-in-law!
"Twenty percent! Stop! What do you mean by that? Are you saying that my mother's want to force your family of three to death? You conscienceless, isn't it for your good that my wife? Do you want to cut off your children and grandchildren? Come back and make it clear to me! Aunt Su stood up and almost made Daddy Su fall to the ground.
A big man's tears fell with a 'horn' click, Su Ercheng picked up Su Qiqi and leaned on his shoulder, turned his head and said sadly: "Stepson? Did my mother curse my seven-seven? β
Aunt Su glanced at Su Qiqi with disgust before saying, "Curse? Is this going to be my grandmother's curse? Look at him, he can't walk steadily at the age of three or four, he can only speak clearly at the age of five, and now he is more than seven years old, and he still looks like the wind blows away. Don't say that he can help you with the work, just rush him to waste so much money every year and pour it into his mouth, is he a man who can afford it? β
Aunt Su's words made Su Ercheng's heart cold, and he looked at Aunt Su with a resentful light in his eyes: "Mother, for your sake of giving birth to me, I can't disobey you." But I want to tell you, no matter how bad my Qiqi is, she is the heart and soul of me and Sanniang, she will live a long life, and no one is allowed to curse her! Ming'er is a good nephew, but my second uncle doesn't have this life, and I also received the kindness of my eldest brother and sister-in-law. If God is destined to make my stepson a grandchild, then accept it! Daughter-in-law, let's go! β
Liu Sanniang has already cried so much that her liver and intestines are broken, there is such a grandmother in this world, is it not as good as a life compared to those four acres of land?
Su Qiqi gritted her teeth and didn't let herself say anything, she was afraid that she would scold this old woman for a while as soon as she spoke. But her father and mother couldn't stand it anymore, she stretched out her little hand to wipe Su Ercheng's tears, and touched Liu Sanniang's face and deliberately asked: "Daddy, mother, what is a stepson?" β
Liu Sanniang whimpered: "Qiqi, you heard it wrong." β
Su Qiqi pretended to be innocent and turned her head and asked Aunt Su: "Grandma, did Qiqi hear it wrong?" What is a stepson? β
Aunt Su looked at Su Qiqi's innocent face and said hatefully: "Even if your father has no son, he will have no grandson!" β
"Grandma, but Qiqi is my father's child, Qiqi will grow up and become a family, so won't my father have grandchildren? Why do you say that? The more he talked, the more confused he became, which made Su Sancheng and his wife feel sad.
"Just you? It's not easy to grow up, can you still get married like this? Perennial half-dead, which girl is willing to marry you? Aunt Su was annoyed by Su Qiqi's question. Originally, he said it in front of Father Su, and his second son had agreed to this matter, but how did he know that he wasted her kindness and didn't say it, and said that she was going to force their family to death.
Su Qiqi still said innocently: "Grandma, don't worry, you don't need a girl to marry Qiqi, Qiqi will also give birth to a son for his father to be a grandson!" β
"Okay, okay, what are you talking about here, this is the good son you taught by Liu, you dare to question the elders at a young age, no wonder Peach Blossom said that Qiqi's upbringing is really poor! I know that a child who has no mother's education is not a candidate to be a daughter-in-law! Aunt Su was even more annoyed.
When Su Ercheng heard that this mother pulled his honest daughter-in-law again, his tone was even worse: "Mother..."
Seeing that he was really going to make trouble, Su Dacheng knew that his father was the one who didn't dare to come against his mother, so he stood up and said, "Mother, I said it earlier, the second brother is still young, and Qiqi is fine, so don't worry about it." It's fine, but you're doing something wrong. Although Qiqi's body is not very good, isn't he also the son of the second brother? Qiqi was so sick that I, the eldest brother, didn't help him, how could I still share his rations? Don't talk about it anymore! β
Aunt Su wanted to say something, and Su Sancheng also persuaded: "Mother, you really don't care too much, the second brother is a person who has a plan in his heart, and seeing that Qiqi's body is getting better and better, blessings will come in the future." I heard my daughter-in-law say that the second sister-in-law asked for a monk who has attained the Tao, and he can save Qiqi, which means that Qiqi is a blessed person. Perhaps, in the future, our Su family will be the most promising, and it may be Qiqi! β
Su Jiang's family should also agree: "Yes, mother, you better take care of your body, and enjoy your happiness when the children are older." β
Su Zhu looked at Su Jiang with disdain and said, "Yes, mother, Qiqi ate the eggs given by the third sister-in-law today, and will definitely be able to spread joy everywhere tomorrow." The third brother can say, our family will be the most promising in the future, and you can accumulate grace now. In the future, Qiqi can't forget the kindness of your third uncle and aunt! β
Aunt Su sneered: "The daughter-in-law is not virtuous, and the children and grandchildren are not filial." How do I know that my family is not even filial to his son! Yield? I'm looking at it, and I'll see how good you are. You are a sycophant from the third family, but don't you think you made a mistake? Your wife and I rarely eat two eggs a month, why didn't I see you deliver them? β
As soon as Aunt Su's voice fell, Su Qiqi, who was about to go out, looked up at Su Sancheng and his wife, and said sonorously: "Third uncle, third aunt, today's kindness Qiqi has been recorded!" Now Qiqi is very good, and when I have the ability, the third uncle and third aunt will be my dearest relatives! β
Liu Sanniang covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, she pulled Su Ercheng's arm: "Xianggong, let's go home." β
Su Qiqi stretched out his hand and took Liu Sanniang's hand: "Dad, mother, don't be sad, Qiqi will definitely get better, let's go home." β
She just couldn't comfort the Su couple, so she had to use this intimate action to make them feel her daughter's dependence and affection. When she grows up in the future, she will definitely let the parents who love her live a good life, and give this old lady Su a dead ball! She didn't believe that with her title of a genius girl and her wealth of advanced knowledge, there would be no success.
