Chapter 93 - 93: Little Brother Su Ze
Su Li turned around and saw a bronze-skinned young man. At that moment, he was grinning. His teeth were as white as if he had used black toothpaste. He looked very sunny and was a head taller than her.
Su Li flipped through the memories in her mind and found the memories of the person in front of her from the corner of her mind.
This sunny boy’s name was Su Ze.
He was the younger brother of the Host and was 16 years old this year. Before the Host got married, she had a good relationship with this younger brother. Su Ze also liked to follow behind the Host and was a good follower.
Ever since the Host got married, the Host didn’t allow him to go to the He Family Village.
One time, Su Ze wanted to see how she was doing, so he secretly went to the He Family Village to give Su Li a surprise. Unexpectedly, the Host flew into a rage when she saw Su Ze and even said that if Su Ze came again, he wouldn’t be her younger brother.
Su Ze thought that the Host was really saying those words out of anger. He didn’t expect that after chasing him away, the Host never looked for him again.
Su Ze was a little worried. Later on, he went to look for the Host many times, but she chased him away coldly.
The main reason why the Host did this was because she did not like He Yufeng. She had never treated He Yufeng as her husband, so she was even more unwilling for her family to see him. She felt that this was the greatest humiliation.
“Su Ze?” Su Li tried to call out.
Su Ze hugged Su Li excitedly. “Sister, it’s really you. I thought I got the wrong person!”
Just now, he had seen from afar that this person’s back looked like his sister’s, but she was slightly thinner than her. However, with his sixth sense, he felt that this was his sister.
Su Li sized Su Ze up and asked, “What are you doing on the streets today?”
The Su family had some farmland. In her memory, her parents were very diligent and managed the family well.
In the past, before the Host got married, she was lazy. She spent money extravagantly and smashed the pots and bowls whenever she was unhappy. Her parents even spoiled her!
At the thought of this, Su Li held her forehead helplessly. It turned out that the Host’s bad habits were not because she married He Yufeng, but because they had been there since her maiden home.
But shouldn’t Su Ze be helping out in the fields at this time?
It was said that many young people went to the casino to gamble. It had been so long since they last saw each other. Could it be that Su Ze had learned bad things from someone?!
When Su Ze heard Su Li’s question, he said in embarrassment, “I caught two rabbits two days ago and took advantage of today’s market to sell them on the streets to supplement the family’s income.”
He was already so old. He should reduce the burden on his family. He could not rely on his parents for everything.
So he was selling rabbits!
Seeing that he was empty-handed, Su Li knew that his rabbits had been sold out.
Su Ze spoke again, “Sister, have you eaten? I’ll buy you buns.”
With that, Su Ze was about to run towards the bun shop when Su Li hurriedly stopped him. “You don’t have to buy. I’ve already eaten.”
Su Ze didn’t believe him and confirmed again, “Really?”
He was afraid that Su Li said that on purpose because she didn’t want him to spend money.
Su Li nodded and said, “It’s true. Have you eaten?”
Su Ze patted his chest and said, “I ate it too. You can’t lie to me. I’m rich now. I have no problem buying a few buns.”
During this period of time, he had already saved some money from selling prey. It was not a problem to buy a few buns for his sister.
Su Li looked at him and felt that he was very adorable. She chuckled and said,
“Don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
She didn’t know if it was because of their blood relationship, but Su Ze gave her a very intimate feeling, as if they had lived together for many years. There was no sense of unfamiliarity at all.
Growl…
Su Li looked at Su Ze. This kid was lying. He had just said that he had eaten, but now it seemed like he hadn’t eaten at all.
Su Ze laughed foolishly and explained, “It’s just my stomach, but I’m not hungry at all!”
Su Li was speechless. Would would believe that?
“Let’s go. I’ll buy you some buns.”
Su Ze refused, “Sister, there’s really no need. I’m not hungry at all!” Growl…
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ze’s stomach growled again.
Su Li looked at him with a smile.
Su Ze blushed. It was too embarrassing!
Su Li went to the bun shop to buy a few buns. Su Ze’s eyes stung as he looked at the meat buns in front of him. He reached out and took one, but he didn’t take the rest.
“Sister, there’s too much of this. I can’t finish it. Take it back for Dahu and Erhu to eat!”
Su Li stuffed all the buns into his hand. “Eat your fill. Take the rest back for
Father and Mother to eat.’
“But… ”
Su Ze wanted to refuse, but Su Li interrupted him.
“No buts. Just listen to me.” Su Li asked about Father and Mother Su’s condition again. “How are Father and Mother’s health?”
After saying that, Su Ze even glanced at Su Li carefully, afraid that she would be angry.
Su Li nodded and said, “I’ll go back and visit them soon.”
Mr. and Mrs. Su treated the Host quite well, but the Host was a person who did not know how to appreciate such blessings. She would quarrel with her family over small matters. The last time the old couple heard that the Host had split up and had to give her seven taels of silver a month to support her in her old age, they hurriedly came over to persuade her.
Seven taels a month was not a small number. Moreover, why did she want to split up when everything was fine? They would just end up not getting anything in the end. Only their silly daughter would do such a thing.
Mother Su asked the Host to go to Wang Chunhua and lower her head and apologize so that this matter would be over. She hoped that they would pretend that the separation had never happened.
The Host could not understand the painstaking efforts of the two elders. She felt that they had never thought for her at all. It was fine if they did not stand on her side at this time, but they still wanted her to lower her head and apologize to Wang Chunhua. Wasn’t this asking her to stand out and be beaten
Besides, it wasn’t easy for her to split from the family. It was fine if they weren’t happy for her, but they even said such things. It sounded increasingly annoying and unlucky to her. The few of them argued for a while, but the argument became more and more intense.
Father Su pointed at the Host’s nose and said that she was no longer his daughter. The Host was also a stubborn donkey. She said on the spot that since they did not acknowledge her, she would not acknowledge them either. In the future, she would treat it as if her family had died.
At that time, Father Su was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left. From then on, the Host never returned to her mother’s house, and Father Su would not lower his head to look for her. As for Mother Su, she could only sigh at home every day.
Su Ze looked at Su Li worriedly and said, “Sister, why have you lost so much weight? If Father and Mother saw this, their hearts would ache. Did
Brother-in-law treat you badly and not give you food?”
“Achoo-” He Yufeng, who was lying on the bed, could not help but sneeze.
Did he catch a cold last night? Otherwise, why would he sneeze all of a sudden?
The corners of Su Li’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. It was hard to say who wouldn’t give who food!
“Your brother-in-law treats me very well. I was too fat before, so I have to lose weight!”
Su Ze quickly said, “It’s only good to be fat. What’s so good about being so thin? A gust of wind will blow you away!”
Su Li was speechless, she’d rather give this blessing to others. She didn’t want it at all anyway..
