Bab 24: Family
Su Jin held her sister's hand and looked at her mother with her second brother. After their mother greeted them, she said to Su He Zhuang, "Cousin, we also came to visit today."
"Oh, oh." Su He Manor only looked at her and forgot to answer for a while. After a while, they found their own voices and said, "Then, let's return to the clan first."
The family he was referring to was the family mansion, and right now, it lived in his father's bloodline, which was in charge of the family tree in the village.
Just like the men at the village entrance, the people in the house were also shocked by this shiny new house. The women whispered to each other as they appraised their clothes, their demeanor, and the three baskets that were filled to the brim.
His mother brought people to meet the chief and explained her purpose of coming here. The chief kept glancing at the basket on his back as he said, "Let's eat first before talking about anything else."
So the family rested for the time being in the empty rooms of the house. In the future, there would always be people coming to greet them. It would either be Third Sister-in-Law or the young daughter-in-law of the side family.
But now, the room was completely empty. Second Brother and Little Sister had gone out to play, leaving only Su Jin and her mother sitting there, and her mother unable to sit still. The obvious difference made her uneasy, afraid that her son would not be able to go on the family tree. She walked out to the kitchen and saw a group of women killing chickens and washing vegetables.
Meng Qin rolled up her sleeves, preparing to squat down and deal with the materials with her wives. However, when Third Sister saw his actions, she became a little anxious. "Shitou's mother, don't do all this work with us. You won't get your skirt dirty." As she spoke, she quickly grabbed the vegetables from Meng Qin's hands and pushed her out of the circle.
Meng Qin was a bit helpless. She could faintly feel that she was being pushed around. Her hand remained stiff in the air for a long time before it was finally released. She speechlessly returned to her room.
Su Jin accompanied her mother all the way until lunch time. When most of the family members had gathered, Su Jin and her mother started to take out the things from the basket one by one and distribute them to the families.
In the village, they took out all sorts of exquisite items, which made everyone feel dizzy. Every daughter-in-law took out their own examples from Su Jin's hands.
After she finished distributing the things in the basket, her mother looked around at the crowd and mustered up her courage to ask the clan leader for his son's name to be written on the family tree. This action not only meant that the family's status was recognized, but also meant that Su Gui Sheng's property was being planned out for his son.
The clan leader's face that was like an old chrysanthemum stretched out, and with a trace of indiscernible greed he said, "Logically speaking, your son should have inherited his property, and this is a rule left behind by his ancestors. But …"
"The ancestor also said that under such circumstances, inheriting property would have to wait until the child becomes the champion. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what the external aspects would be."
Meng Qin's face sank. It was obvious that she was afraid that she would take over your life's property.
However, she couldn't refute him because this was reasonable. She began to breathe rapidly as she hurriedly said, "I don't need anything expensive either. As long as Su Yan's name is recorded in the family tree, he can have a name."
The Patriarch seemed to think that this suggestion was feasible as he silently pondered about it. After walking for a while, he stopped and said, "How about this —"
"Wait —!" A sharp, familiar voice stopped the patriarch from speaking.
Su Jin turned around and saw a sturdy body squeezed out from the back of the crowd. She panted for a moment before she stopped and looked up.
She turned around and looked at her mother. Just as she was about to say something, the third aunt said to the Patriarch, "The family still thinks we are close relatives, is there anyone that can be close relatives like that? You have a way to earn money without bringing your family members along, and you still have the nerve to mention the family tree!? "
She tilted her face and glanced at Su Jin and the others. Her eyes were filled with pride, as if she was determined to stop Su Jin's family from taking action.
Su Jin turned her head away in annoyance. She didn't want to look at her mother, but she couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"
"Heh, don't you know what I said? "Your honorable students have just left, but not only have you not become poor, you have also become richer than before. How can a treasure do such a thing?"
As she spoke, she told them all of her doubts and suspicions, along with the things she had secretly observed afterwards. Everyone turned from confusion to envy and jealousy, and finally, she summarized her thoughts with a single sentence, "Tell me the method to make money, or else we won't be relatives anymore. If that's the case, there's no need for the genealogy!"
His mother's eyes were filled with disbelief, wanting to say, "Why did you do this?"
Third Aunt seemed to understand her doubts, and turned to her and complained, "How did I help you when your son was sick? After your birth, how did I help you? Now that you have made a fortune, you look down on me.
Meng Qin did not know what was going on, so she turned to look at the Patriarch. The Patriarch looked at them with a thoughtful expression, then looked at the entire family, and then passed over the things they gave to her. Finally, he opened his mouth with a heavy tone: "Your son's wife, is it really like what the Hefu Wife said? Do you have a way to make money that you don't tell everyone? "
Meng Qin hurriedly explained, "It's not what third sister said. I have a reason …" She looked at the people around her and said in a pleading tone, "Brothers and Sisters, please say a few words for me."
"Alright, let's talk about this after we old guys have discussed it." The Patriarch cut off Meng Qin's movements and looked at them without saying anything.
The surrounding people didn't say a word, but coldly looked at the family as if they had lost their road to riches.
Su Jin had been watching from the side the whole time. As she saw the clan head and the crowd's attitude change along with the third aunt's words, her facial expression became more and more indifferent until finally, Meng Qin was almost kneeling on the ground. She couldn't help but go forward to pick her up.
His mother could see the anger she had accumulated. She grabbed onto her sleeve and pulled her tightly. Her hands were pale, cold and pale. She looked at Su Jin imploringly and shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she should not speak.
Su Jin knew how important this matter was in her mother's heart. She steadied her heart and slightly calmed down. She pursed her lips and remained silent.
Mother heaved a sigh of relief. The clan leader's voice rang out in a stiff manner, "Then your wife should rest for the moment. Which family has an available room?"
