nWhen Su Sanlang looked into Madam Zhao’s teary eyes, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a hand, making him suffocate and hurt.
nAfter a few moments of silence, Su Sanlang said, “What are they doing here? Did they hit you?”
nAs he spoke, Su Sanlang’s eyes were filled with anger. He stepped forward to check if Madam Zhao was injured.
nMadam Zhao felt Su Sanlang’s concern and could not stop her tears. All her grievances seemed to have found an outlet, making her throw herself into Su Sanlang’s arms. She choked and said, “Sanlang, they didn’t hit me. They were here to make us go back to the main family. They said that at the end of the day, we’re still family and we can’t be separated. ”
nMadam Li and Madam Zhou did not hit her, but it was even more painful than that.
nSu Sanlang was also stunned. He didn’t know how to describe his current mood. He felt ridiculous and pathetic.
nHe held Madam Zhao’s face and wiped away the tears on her face. He solemnly promised Madam Zhao, “Darling, we won’t go back. Even if we die, our family will die outside.”
nHow could he go back? In the first few days after he came out, he had also hoped that if his brothers could help him and his parents could let him go home, he would definitely not hesitate to bring his family back.
nEven if he had to do a lot of work, he could tolerate being wronged.
nHowever, no one helped him. Chen Hu, who helped him, was not his biological brother. Even if his own life was tough, they still came to help him.

nHe’d been afraid he wouldn’t make it back then, but he’d made it. His real family hadn’t let him come home during the worst of it. Couldn’t he see that?
nNow that they’re asking him to go back, it was because they knew that he never left mountains empty-handed. Now, he had money and he would be useful. That was why they wanted him to go back.
nSo he would never go back.
nSu Sanlang was determined. Madam Zhao saw it clearly. She knew that Su Sanlang’s heart was broken. She was sad, but she was also at ease. Madam Zhao said, “Sanlang, I don’t want to go back either. I’m not afraid of suffering, but I’m afraid that Chong, Hua, Sanmei, and Simei won’t have enough to eat or wear. My heart aches just thinking about it. When Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law came today, Yu Fang also came. She actually told Sanmei that when we go back, Sanmei’s clothes will be hers. I…”
nMadam Zhao pressed her chest. These words were as uncomfortable as digging out her heart.
nIf she had never been shrouded in sunlight, she would gladly die in the dark.
nThe light-shrouded days had given her hope in life, and she refused to lose it.
nMadam Zhao’s breakdown made Su Sanlang very sad. He hugged Madam Zhao and comforted her, “Darling, don’t worry. No one can snatch Sanmei’s clothes away. Our family won’t go back. Over lives have nothing to do with others.”
nSu Sanlang wiped away Madam Zhao’s tears and looked at her firmly, letting her know that he would not change his mind.
nHowever, his sisters-in-law had come over. No matter what, he had to make a trip back.
nSu Sanlang looked at Madam Zhao and said, “Darling, since the other party has spoken, I should go and reply. I’ll go. Stay at home with the children and wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”
nWith that, Su Sanlang turned and left.
nMadam Zhao chased after him for two steps. She leaned against the door and watched Su Sanlang’s back. She sighed softly until he disappeared from her sight. Then she turned around and saw the three children standing nearby with Su Xiaolu in their arms, looking at her worriedly.
nMadam Zhao forced a smile and said, “Don’t be afraid. Your father will take care of it. Sanmei, take good care of Simei. Mother will cook for you.”
nLooking at the pheasant that was still alive on the ground, Madam Zhao boiled hot water and skillfully gutted the pheasant.
nShe had no idea where Su Sanlang’s visit would lead, but she had to prepare for the worst.
nIn the past, she could only bear to cook half of the pheasant. Today, not only did she cook the entire pheasant, she also took half a rabbit and stewed it.

nEveryone was quiet. There was no more laughter.
nSu Chong and Su Hua seemed to understand something, and their innocent eyes were filled with distress.
n…
nThis was the first time Su Sanlang had walked into the once-familiar home since moving out.
nFortunately, it was dark and everyone was eating at home. No one saw Su Sanlang come.
nOld Master Su’s family was eating in the main house. No one noticed Su Sanlang entering the courtyard.
nSu Sanlang went under the roof and was about to knock when he heard voices coming from inside the house. The contents made him lower his hand again.
nIn the main room, Old Master Su said, “Sanlang is coming back tomorrow. The matter will be over once he and Madam Zhao apologize. Don’t keep pulling a long face, do you hear me?”
nMadam Wang said coldly, “How can I be nice to that heartless little bastard when he comes back? He was the one who angered me. It’s already good enough that I don’t hit him.”
nToday, under Madam Wang’s strong request, Old Master Su could not stand her anymore and asked his eldest son to carry her to the main room to eat. When they were eating, Madam Wang kept cursing. Old Master Su could not help but make a comment.
nWhen he heard Madam Wang’s words, Old Master Su frowned. “No matter what, he’s still our son. It’s fine as long as he admits his mistake after being outside for a few months.”
n“I get angry just thinking about it. After getting so many things in the mountains, he didn’t even want to send some home. He fed that b*tch so well that she gained weight. He even got new clothes for that loser to wear. Why couldn’t he use this money to buy some pen and paper for my eldest grandson?”
nMadam Wang rolled her eyes and said angrily.
nWhen Madam Li and Madam Zhou returned, they told Madam Wang about what they had seen at Su Sanlang’s house with some exaggeration. Madam Wang was immediately so angry that she was itching to beat him up.
nWhen she thought about the dozens of cured meats that Madam Li mentioned, she got angry. Those could sell for good money.
nSu Shun looked up from his food and said with a smile, “Grandma, if you buy me pen and paper, I’ll definitely study hard and become the top scholar in the future to bring glory to our Su family.”
nSu Dalang was overjoyed. “Good, as expected of my son.”
nMadam Li was also amused. “Then I’ll be the mother of the top scholar in the future.”
nMadam Zhou gently nudged her youngest son beside her.
nSu Qing reluctantly put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, I want to take the examination and become the top scholar too. When I do, I’ll build a big house for you to live in and get many servants for you to order around.”
nSu Erlang smiled and said, “That’s good. The day our Su family stands out is just around the corner.”
nMadam Zhou touched Su Qing’s hair and said to Old Master Su with a smile, “Father, Qing is so filial.”
nLooking at his two ambitious grandsons, Old Master Su smiled.
nHe said, “I reckon Sanlang has about ten taels of silver in his hands. When he comes back and gives it up, Grandpa will take you to the school to register.”
