Chapter 42 Dutiful Son
"Serve--"

Everyone listened patiently and became excited again when Su Changbai said "Serve the food".

Two women came with large dustpans and began to serve the food. Each large dustpan contained five bowls of food, which was exactly one bowl for each table.

Everyone's eyes and hearts followed the two women. The man on the seat clenched his chopsticks and swallowed, concentrating and expecting.

"Dong--" A bowl of tofu mixed with green onions was placed at the center of the table.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the chopsticks they raised did not fall down.

This is?

What about the big fish and meat?
Looking at Su Laoer who was watching contentedly under the eaves, he thought to himself that this was the first side dish, and it was normal to be vegetarian. The big fish and meat were at the back.

Out of politeness, they still took a mouthful of tofu and green onions. Their mouths were even more bland, and they were looking forward to the big fish and meat later.The children refused to eat and insisted on leaving their stomachs for the delicacies at the back.

They held up their chopsticks and waited and waited. When the table was filled with four bowls of green vegetables, five plates of pickles and pickles, and a pot of soup with floating oil, their eyes widened even more. They raised their chopsticks and filled them with food. It's confusion.

The yard was suddenly so quiet that only the barking dogs and birds were left.

There was a child who fished in the soup for a long time without giving up. When he found that there was nothing, he howled loudly.

Some children took a sip of the soup without giving up and cried: "This is the water for cooking bacon! Where is the bacon? Where is the bacon?"

So the children started crying one after another.

Everyone remembered that the three brothers Fu, Lu and Shou each had a long waxed pork rib, and they couldn't help but become angry.

Three whole forear-long bacon ribs. Their family could only eat half of them all year round. The three children each had one. What's even more outrageous was that they couldn't finish the food and used it to beat the dog, but they and their children were allowed to drink it. The water to cook the cured pork ribs!
A man broke his chopsticks.

The women and elderly people standing waiting for food sobbed and wiped away tears.

They once again felt inferior. Even if they paid a high share of the money, they were still not worthy of eating meat in the eyes of the landlords.

Finally, a complaint came from the crowd: "There's not even a trace of meat, how does the second master do things?"

The person who complained took advantage of the large number of people to hide it, so he spoke more directly. Still concerned about Su Changbai's identity as a big landowner, he called him "Master".

After all, I will rent his family's land for farming in the future. If I offend him, I'm afraid the whole family will lose their livelihood.

Su Changbai leisurely slumped on the rocking chair and said slowly: "As you know, my mother is used to being thrifty, so I won't let her spend money on her funeral!"

"If you fellow villagers are dissatisfied with this, please go to my mother and tell me. I just do what my mother says."

"you!"

The men on the seats were angry and desperate, but they couldn't blame Su Laoer. In anger, they kicked their children hard and cursed, "You bastard!"

The child who was kicked did not dare to howl anymore and whimpered to find his mother and grandma.

The people standing felt desolate in their hearts. That little thing didn't even cost three hundred cents. The men in the first round could finish it, and the men in the second round would lick their plates. The rest didn't have to wait, just go hungry.

They lost three hundred coins and had nothing to eat when they returned.

Su Changbai let out a proud "hum". These miserable people had been worn down by poverty for a long time. He had control of their lives, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to cure them?

Just then an old and misty voice sounded.

"Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba."

It's Mrs. Gu - the village chief's mother.

Then a not so old and majestic voice sounded: "My mother said that the second child is filial and will listen to my mother in everything."

"That's right!" Su Changbai twirled his mustache proudly, "If my mother wants me to go east, I will go east. If my mother wants me to go west, I will go west!"

"My mother asked me to do it this way, so I have no choice but to do it this way!" Su Changbai spread his hands.

"Aba aba, aba aba?"

Xiao Qianxi walked out of the crowd carrying Mrs. Gu on his back.

Immediately afterwards, Su Changhuai helped the village chief out.

"What my mother means is that since the second child is a filial son, he will not disobey the old lady's last wish, right?" "Last wish? What last wish?" Su Changbai's expression changed, "My mother had already given me all the Su family's property. Got it!"

"Stop teasing me!"

"Aba Aba!" Mrs. Su waved her hand on Xiao Qianqi's back.

The village chief took out a letter and opened it.

"Everyone in the village knows that Mrs. Su asked me to go to dinner to notarize her will when she was ill. At that time, Mrs. Su indeed said in front of the eldest son, the second son, and me that she would leave the family property to the second son."

"But what the boss and the second son don't know is that I left this will for Mrs. Su, saying that if the second son fulfills his filial piety by his bedside in the last days, then every cent of the family property will be given to the second son."

"If the eldest brother and the second child perform filial piety together in bed, all the family property will still belong to the second child."

"If the second oldest child is unfilial and only the eldest brother is filial, then half of the family property will belong to the eldest son."

The village chief finished speaking in one breath, then took a break, "We are all from the same village. If there is a family member who can't hide anything and can see it clearly, do you think the boss should get half of it?"

Everyone was immersed in the sadness of losing money and being humiliated. They were the most ungrateful and did not say anything.

"Speak!" the village chief couldn't help but urge.

Su Changbai smiled and said: "Of course you can see it clearly. I have fulfilled my filial piety in front of my mother for so many years, and the last few days have been given to the boss. How can a few days be compared to a few years?"

"Dad!" Su Jiaojiao ran over and threw a heavy cloth bag over.

Su Changhuai caught it steadily, "I was waiting beside my mother's bed, and I never heard her say that she wanted to hold a funeral like this."

"My mother has suffered a lot in her life, and I cannot let her be blamed for treating her fellow villagers badly after her death."

"This is everyone's money. Su Changhuai, the eldest son of Su, will pay it back in full."

Su Changhuai, who is wearing hemp and mourning, is even more beautiful and elegant. Her peach-blossom eyes flutter with tears in the autumn water, and the tail of her eyes are red and wet. She looks strong and still holds on after suffering great grievances and sorrows, which makes people feel loved after seeing her.

Everyone's hearts softened, and they suddenly came to life when they heard Su Changhuai said that he wanted to pay back the money.

"The uncle is the filial son!"

"Yes! These days, I've been waiting on you all the time!"

"Yes! The uncle should have half of the family property!"

Gradually the crowd's voices became louder, and the men broke their chopsticks and stood up angrily.

"You are bullying others! You are taking my property!" Su Changbai yelled.

But he can't roar with one mouth and one throat with so many mouths and throats.

"Second brother! The boss is stealing money!" Chen Cuiping chased Shen Biyu.

Everyone put Shen Biyu and her daughter in and stopped Chen Cuiping.

The three brothers, Fu, Lu and Shou, took advantage of their small size and squeezed in. They rushed to the big room to avenge their mother-in-law.

Xiao Qianxi raised his palm and slapped one down.

My hands are numb, but my heart feels good.

Su JiaShou, who was slapped down, covered his face, choked his mouth, and howled.

"How dare you hit my brother!" Su Jialu rushed over with his fist waved.

"Snapped!"

"How dare you hit my second and third brothers!" Su Jiafu flew over with a kick.

"Snapped!"

The three brothers fell down neatly and howled one after another.
