Su Dachun and his wife lived in the old house in the middle of the village, together with Su Xuewu's house. After the family divided their assets, the three brothers redistributed their homesteads and built their own houses. Su Xuewen was the eldest son and logically should have lived with his parents. However, he was driven out because he didn't have a son.
Initially, they thought that Su Xuewen would have nowhere to live after being driven out and would have to settle for a thatched hut. However, he turned around and built a house with big bricks and tiled roof. Su Dachun and Ma Xiulan deeply regretted their decision.
