When Sister-in-law Su saw Su Qin coming back, she looked like a poor scribe, and she looked down on him in her heart. When she saw Su Dai entering the courtyard with the child, she didn't want to go out of the house to talk, but when she saw Su Qin, she quickly got up and pushed the door out of the house.

Su Qin was about to walk through the verandah of the first courtyard to the second courtyard, when Sister-in-law Su was already standing at the door of her house at this time, and suddenly spoke: "What kind of noble person did I come to the door, it turned out that Ji Zi came back, and I didn't see you riding a high-headed horse and returning to your hometown, didn't you mix well outside, oh?" ”

Su Qin heard that there was a thorn in Sister-in-law Su's words, and he didn't want to meet her in general, so he clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Su Qin has seen Mrs. Su. It's polite. ”

Sister-in-law Su saw that Su Qin was disgraced and squeezed him so much, he was indifferent, and couldn't help but feel even more proud, and said: "People say that you Su Jizi is calling for wind and rain outside, and your reputation is very big, why didn't I see you go home in style, but you came back so quietly." Did you encounter something unpleasant, and went home to hide quietly. ”

Su Qin walked to the backyard without raising his head, not wanting to have a verbal fight with Sister-in-law Su on the verandah.

Su Dai couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "How is Brother Su Qin's life, it's not your turn to be a sister-in-law, take care of your own affairs." There are other things that I will tell you, and you will not understand. ”

The meaning of Su Dai's words is: Sister-in-law Su has no knowledge and is lonely and unheard. Sister-in-law Su didn't understand the reason, her eyes widened, and she scolded Su Dai angrily: "You are a cousin, you are in charge of the affairs between brothers and sisters, are your hands stretched too long?" ”

Su Qin pulled Su Dai and motioned him to stop talking nonsense with Sister-in-law Su. Su Dai also glared at Sister-in-law Su angrily, and then followed Su Qin into the courtyard of Erjin.

The loud conversation in the front yard also alarmed Su's father in the backyard, he went out of the door, stood in the yard and listened, and suddenly saw his son Su Qin appear in front of him. Father Su was stunned for a moment and stood there. Father Su wanted to hope that Su Qin would return soon, but when he saw Su Qin with his own eyes, he didn't believe what he saw.

When Su Qin saw his father, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, paying homage to his father. Su's father wanted to step forward to help his son up, but thinking about what his son had done, he was angry, and stood there, looking up at the sky, without saying a word.

Su Yu and Su Rui saw their grandfather and called out affectionately: "Grandfather! Father Su glanced at them lovingly, but he still ignored Su Qin, who was kneeling on the ground. Su Qin himself felt ashamed of his father, and he didn't dare to stand up casually, and everyone was frozen there for a while.

Seeing this, Su Dai hurriedly stepped forward to play the round, and he said: "Father, you have been looking forward to Brother Su Qin's return all day long, but when he comes home, you ignore him, why bother." ”

Su's father said hatefully: "I don't have such an uncompetitive son as him, he is prodigal, he doesn't take care of his good family business, he has to go out to wander, and the family is ruined, and the child has to be raised by others." Pity my old bones, and worry about the next generation, but he is like a man who has nothing to do. ”

Su Qin was ashamed that he owed his father too much, so he simply let him scold him, and he didn't say anything back, so he knelt there to make amends.

Su Dai persuaded Su's father again: "As the saying goes: 'Everyone has his own ambition', Brother Su Qin likes to lobby the princes and achieve a career, and he has his own reasons, but you want him to do business, this thing is reluctant." He is kneeling there now, and he has been making amends for you, so forgive him. ”

Father Su listened to Su Dai's persuasion, and then glanced at Su Qin who was kneeling on the hard ground in the courtyard, in the end, he still felt sorry for his son. said: "What are you doing on your knees there stupidly, don't you hurry up." ”

Su Qin knew that his father's anger had subsided a little, so he stood up. He looked at his father carefully, and saw that the gray hair on his head had increased a lot, and he was much older than before. Su Qin felt very sad in his heart, and deeply blamed himself for not being able to fulfill his filial piety in front of his father. After his mother died, Su's father never married again, and for Su Qin's two children, Su's father broke his heart.

Su Qin cautiously stepped forward to help his father into the house, but Su's father did not refuse again. Su's father's anger towards Su Qin was temporarily put aside.

Entering the house, everyone sat down. Su Qin asked about his father's physical condition with concern, and Su's father said lightly. He is a tough old man, and he is reluctant to mention his physical discomfort in front of his children, so as not to worry the children.

Su's father also asked about what Su Qin had done over the years, and Su Qin tried his best to pick up some nice words to say, and he also didn't want his father to worry about himself.

Su Dai also kept interjecting on the side, praising Su Qin's resourcefulness and eloquence to Su's father, and telling Su's father and brother's "glorious" deeds.

Father Su later asked: "Are you going home this time to go back to your old business and do business in a down-to-earth manner?" ”

Su Qin looked at his father, a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer. He felt that if he told the truth, his father would be furious and make him angry again, but if he deceived his father and said that he would become a businessman by staying at home, it was not his will.

Su Qin thought for a while and said, "I'm coming back this time, mainly to spend some time taking care of the child, and I'll talk about other things later." ”

Su's father didn't get a positive answer, and he was unhappy, but the child had just come back, and it was inconvenient for him to ask any more. He remembered the legacy of Su Qin and his daughter-in-law Fan Han, and said, "When you come back this time, do you go to the children's mother to have a look, if you can bring her back, you can still live together as a family." ”

Su Qin was in the bazaar, and he had already heard from the farmer's mouth what his wife Fan Han was doing in his mother's house, and he knew that this matter was impossible, but in order to make his father happy, he said vaguely: "I'll visit again, don't worry about it, the children have grown up now, and their own lives are about to begin." Let's stop pushing the mothers of the children. ”

Su Qin's words contained the meaning of persuading Su's father, he showed that whether the family wants to get back together or not is not up to him, and he still has to respect the wishes of the child's mother.

Father Su didn't quite understand the deep meaning of his words, and the old man continued: "It's better to live together as a family, if you can persuade you to come back, try to persuade it." ”

Su Qin nodded and agreed to Father Su. Su Yu and Su Rui stayed with their grandfather, father, and uncle at this time, and everyone was talking about common things and felt very happy. Su Qin also looked at his children from time to time while talking. He also enjoyed this long-lost family affection.

However, Su Qin has been entangled in his father's expectations, is it still possible for him to get back together with Fan Han? He was very uncertain.
