Chapter 38: Five Taels Of Silver Was Required To Move Out
"Can you compare with your eldest brother? Your eldest brother will provide for us in the future, while you’ll be on your own in the future!" Mrs. Su-Qian stood with arms akimbo and said, "Pfft," obviously not taking Su Fu’s words to heart.
Su Fu's heart became even colder. After a while, he wiped away his tears and straightened his back. "Since you don't treat me as your son, we shall move out now."
"Then get out! Don't even think about taking a single thing away from this household."
After Mrs. Su-Qian said that, she pointed at Su Tao and said, "And don’t even think about taking this wretched girl away."
Su Tao was stunned by her finger of death. It was definitely not a good thing that this wretched old woman wanted her to remain here.
Su Fu and Lin Sanzhu's expressions changed drastically, and Su Fu couldn't help but raise his voice a little higher, "Why? Taozi is my daughter."
"Why? Don't think I don't know that you’re eyeing the money given by the Xie family!"
Seeing that they were unhappy, Mrs. Su-Qian felt good. And then, she said unreasonably, "You’ll have to give me five taels of silver for this wretched girl."
Su Tao’s blood boiled after hearing those words. She was going to beat this wretched old woman to death!
Ahhhh!!
This was driving her crazy.
Just when she was about to open her mouth, Lin Sanzhu covered her mouth and cried, "Mom, we have no money."
"If you don't have any money, let this wretched girl stay! Get out! Get out immediately! Let’s see how long you can survive after you move out."
"Mom, don't go overboard. Dad, you know best. I’ve worked harder than my eldest brother all these years. Now that I’m moving out, I want nothing but just my children to leave with me!"
Su Dagui didn't say anything and looked a little cold, obviously acquiescing to Mrs. Su-Qian's statement.
The one hundred silver coins a month given by the Xie family could reduce the family's burden.
Su Fu was a little disappointed. He clenched his hands tightly, and finally said, "Alright, I... I’ll give you the money."
To Lin Sanzhu, five taels of silver seemed to be an astronomical figure. She quickly shook her head, knelt on the ground, and got Su Tao to kneel too. She cried, "Dad, Mom, we won’t move out. We won’t move out anymore."
"It's too late. Even if you don't want to move out, you have to!" Mrs. Su-Qian rolled her eyes at her. Didn’t you want to move out? Fine, go ahead!
She wanted to see what kind of life they would make for themselves.
"We’ll move out. I'll raise the money by tomorrow."
Su Fu knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He looked at his parents in disappointment, then lowered his head and said, "I’ll no longer be a son of the Su family."
Those words made Su Dagui so angry that he said, "You ingrate!"
"It's not me who is the ingrate. It’s you guys who have gone overboard. You don't treat my family as human beings. Sanzhu had a bump after she was beaten by my mom and she still has a headache now. My foot is still not healed, and Taozi has become crazy from the beating."
Although Su Fu was filial, he wasn’t stupidly so, which was why Mrs. Su-Qian and Su Dagui didn't like him.
Su Tao, who was kneeling, heard the last part of the sentence, "..."
She was really not crazy.
Why did these people think she was crazy?
"Fuzi, say no more. Please say no more. Mom, Dad, we were wrong. We won’t move out anymore. It's my fault for instigating Fuzi to move out."
Lin Sanzhu slapped herself a few times, hoping that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would soften their hearts and not ask them to move out.
"I just knew you must have instigated it. I'm going to beat you to death." Mrs. Su-Qian kicked Lin Sanzhu to the ground and Su Tao was pulled along to the ground as well.
Su Tao reacted, "Ouch," and subconsciously wanted to move a little to the side. When she thought of something, she gritted her teeth and went back to wrap her arms around Lin Sanzhu.
Her mother was really stupid.
Su Tao felt that she must have sinned in her previous life to suffer like this!!
Su Tao was kicked by Mrs. Su-Qian several times in one go. She was in so much pain that she could not speak.
Wretched old woman!
I must kill you!
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, "Sister Taozi!"
Silence fell upon the scene. Everyone looked over, seeing a short figure with a cute little face.
It was Landlord Xie's son.
Looking at Sister Taozi's grandmother, Xie Yuntang clutched the corner of his clothes with fear. After hesitating for a moment, he ran over. "Grandma Su, don't hit Sister Taozi. She is already sick."
Su Tao, "... "
Milksop was no match for Mrs. Su-Qian. She was afraid that he would be kicked to death by Mrs. Su-Qian. Without thinking, she stood in front of him.
Then, she bared her teeth and whispered, "Go back now! Who asked you to come here?"
"Sister Taozi, you're bleeding." Xie Yuntang looked at her bleeding nose and wanted to help her wipe it in a fluster.
Su Tao didn't realize it yet. Hearing that, she raised her hand and touched her nose. When she looked down, she saw that she was indeed bleeding.
She was so angry that she had a nosebleed. If Mrs. Su-Qian wasn’t punished on the spot, she might not be able to wait until the day when Milksop killed her.
Landlord Xie loved his son dearly. Mrs. Su-Qian was afraid of accidentally hurting him, so she didn't dare to beat Su Tao again. She glared at Su Fu fiercely and said, "As soon as daybreak comes, we’ll go find the village chief and draft the separation agreement!"
Su Dagui didn't say anything. He left, followed by Mrs. Su-Qian.
Su He and Mrs. Su-Jin looked at each other and then left.
"Sister Taozi, are you okay? I'll go find a doctor for you..." Xie Yuntang's voice carried a hint of crying.
Sister Taozi was bleeding.
Su Tao's whole body ached. They left, so she didn't have to endure it anymore. She just collapsed on the ground and cried "ouch" several times.
Looking at the gray sky, she felt a little desperate. "Xie Yuntang, please, kill me now." Xie Yuntang shook his head repeatedly and cried in fear. "Sister Taozi, do you want to eat pancakes?"
Su Tao was on the verge of tears. I didn’t want to eat pancakes. Just kill me!
Lin Sanzhu and Su Fu didn't know the inside story. They were both stunned, and then their eyes reddened. Lin Sanzhu said in a choked voice, "Does it hurt? I’ll take you to see the doctor right now." After saying that, she wanted to carry her.
Su Tao sniffed and grabbed her sleeve. "Don't abandon me."
If she stayed in the Su family, she would definitely die.
"Taozi, don't worry. I’ll definitely raise five taels of silver." Su Fu couldn't help but say in a choked voice.
……
The night was getting darker and there were many stars in the sky.
At the Xie family’s residence.
After Xie Yuntang returned home, he went up to the attic to find Xie Qing and Mrs. Xie-Qin, and said softly, "Dad, Mom, I want to give five taels of silver to Sister Taozi."
Hearing that, Xie Qing and Mrs. Xie-Qin were stunned for a moment. Subconsciously, they thought the Su family was asking for money.
Five taels of silver wasn’t much, but they didn’t want to be taken advantage of and be cheated of their money.
Xie Qing glanced at his well-behaved son and did not immediately disagree. He pondered for a while and said, "Yuntang, your mom and I won’t intervene in how you spend your money, but if you offer your help this way, some people will become greedier."
He paused for a moment. "Did Taozi ask you for money?"
Xie Yuntang understood these principles. He shook his head, crying softly. "No, I went to the Su family's house just now. Sister Taozi was beaten again, and she was bleeding."
"I heard Sister Taozi’s grandmother saying that they would have to pay five taels of silver before they could move out.”
“I don’t want Sister Taozi to get beaten. Only Sister Taozi is willing to play with me.”
Children in the village rarely played with him. When he fell down, the mothers of the other children would always beat their own children.
So, he didn't dare to play with them for fear that they would be beaten.
Sister Taozi was different. Although sometimes he was afraid of her, he liked to play with her.
