The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

It must be said that Mrs. Su was kindhearted. If it were any other mother-in-law of this era, she would have quit long ago. She would have allowed her daughter-in-law to help her family like this, and she would have divorced her daughter-in-law. But Mrs. Su chose to turn a blind eye. First, Li Hongmei did not go too far and had some sense of propriety. Second, that family was really in trouble and she couldn't bear to let them starve to death. Third, that family had a conscience and would take the initiative to help if they had free time. In the past two years, the Li family's life has gradually improved, and the burden has gradually decreased. Occasionally, they even receive pheasants and rabbits shot by Li Hongmei's second brother.

Old Lady Su looked at Su Ankang and his wife who lowered their heads and continued, "You shouldn't be too obsessed with having a son. As long as you live a good life, it doesn't matter if you don't have a son. Others will still not dare to look down on you. Don't think about having no one to take care of you in your old age. You have a daughter and so many nephews, so how can there be no one to take care of you in your old age. Even if they are unreliable, you two can rest assured that I will leave you enough money for your old age before I die. Let these children respect you well even for the sake of money. If it doesn't work, at worst you can leave a daughter at home to recruit a son-in-law. As long as our conditions are good, we can find any kind of son-in-law."

Mrs. Su's words moved Su Ankang and his wife to their core. They looked at Mrs. Su with admiration. Su Ankang blamed himself even more. He was indeed the one who worried his mother the most. He didn't expect his mother to make so many plans for him. He felt like a piece of shit. He even had the nerve to blame his mother for being partial.

Su Ankang and his wife were so moved by Old Lady Su that they wanted to kneel down, but before they could kneel down, Old Lady Su stopped them: "Don't kneel down so easily. If you have something to say, talk it over nicely."

Su Ankang said, "Mom, we know we were wrong. It was you who made us worry so much. We will definitely be filial to you in the future."

"Over the years, I have done some things that were not right. As a mother, I will not tell you about it. What happened in the past is in the past. Let's look forward and live a good life in the future."

Su Ankang and his wife were very moved by what Old Lady Su said. They kept saying it was a good idea and said, "Don't blame mother. We were wrong."

After dealing with the second brother's family and calming down, it was Su Antong and his wife's turn next.

Old Lady Su looked at Su Anton and said, "Old Third, I have only one request for you, and that is to pass the examination for the title of Scholar. You should quit your job at the private school, go home and study hard, and try your best to pass the examination for the title of Scholar this year."

Su Anton raised his hand and said, "Mom, if I quit my teaching job, I won't have any income anymore." The two cooperated with each other.

"Third brother, we need to look at the long term. The sooner you pass the exam, the sooner you can be exempted from land tax, which is more cost-effective than what you have now. Besides, money can be earned at any time, and the most important thing is to pass the exam. The sooner you pass the exam, the easier it will be for other family members to get married, and they can find better families. Listen to mother, and just go home and prepare for the exam! If you have free time during your studies, teach the children at home to read."

Su Anping raised her hand and said, "Third brother, mother is right. Just listen to her! Come home and concentrate on your studies." After hearing what Grandma Su said, the others also felt that what Grandma Su said made sense.

Su An Dong decided to quit his job and go home to study: "Okay, listen to mom! I will go back to the county and quit my job tomorrow."

In fact, all the brothers of the Su family can recognize the words used in daily life, and they were all taught by old man Su. The eldest brother has no talent and doesn't like to study, the second brother likes to play and doesn't like to study, and the fourth brother can't sit still. Only the third brother has good talent, and when old man Su was alive, he also devoted himself to cultivating the third brother.

Because their father had taught them to read, but they were unwilling to study, so the other three brothers had no complaints about Su An Dong's study. In the eyes of the three brothers, studying was also a chore.

After old man Su passed away, Su Anton taught the children at home to read. At that time, Su Zhixuan was still young and didn't see anything. Su Zhicheng and Su Zhibo didn't find any talent and didn't like to read. Later, he went to teach in the town, and only his son Su Zhihao stayed with him and kept reading.

Mrs. Su then made arrangements: "Third daughter-in-law, when you come back from the county, you have to work with the others. From now on, the eldest and second daughters-in-law will cook together, and the third daughter-in-law and Yijia will cook together. One will take turns for one day, and you can arrange it yourselves."

In the past, Zhou Huilan mostly lived in the county with Su Zhihao and Su An Dong. Old Mrs. Su didn't arrange any work for her. When she went home, she would take care of things by herself.

Zhou Huilan agreed. Su Yitong next to her raised her hand and said, "Mom, what about me?"

Old Mrs. Su answered very straightforwardly: "You are not married yet, so you are not an adult. Now let's talk about the fourth child. Fourth child, we are a family. You are too polite and unfamiliar to us. You must remember that this is your home and we are all your family. Mother hopes that you can integrate into this family as soon as possible, and stop talking about whether you are a burden or not. And about your injury, mother does not want to hear the words "incurable" from you again. The greatest comfort to mother now is that you are alive. Mother hopes that you can be obedient, take good care of your injuries, and strive to recover soon. Don't think about the issue of money. With your mother here, what are you afraid of. In mother's heart, your life is more important than anything else. What is money? Money is a bastard. We can earn it again after spending it!" Old Mrs. Su looked at Su Anyuan with sincere eyes: "Can you promise mother to take good care of your injuries? Can you do it?"

Su Anyuan's eyes were red. From this moment on, he had a real sense of belonging to this family. He no longer felt alienated from the family after years of separation. Su Anyuan replied firmly, "Mom, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of my injuries."

Mrs. Su nodded with satisfaction. Then she turned her gaze to Su Yijiajia: "Yijiajia! You are just like your fourth brother. When you return home, don't treat yourself as an outsider. Stay at home with peace of mind. As long as mother is here, this will always be your home. Tell mother if you have anything to say."

In Su Yijia's heart, the fact that she could sit here today meant that her mother didn't treat her as an outsider. Her heart, which had been floating around since she left, gradually settled down. Su Yijia smiled and replied to Mrs. Su: "Don't worry, mother! Don't worry about me. This is my home. I understand."

"Yitong! Don't take the cancellation of the engagement to heart. It's a good thing you didn't marry into such a family. I hope you don't look down on yourself because of this. In my heart, you are the best girl. You are the best, and it's their family that is not worthy of you." After all, she was an unmarried girl, so Old Lady Su did not mention her future marriage in front of everyone.

"Don't worry, mom. I've thought it through. Being married is not as comfortable as being a girl. I can't wait to stay at home for a few more years." Su Yitong didn't dare to say that she didn't want to get married. She knew in her heart that not getting married was impossible.

She had never met the Zhang family kid before, and he looked down on him! But she always felt ashamed when her engagement was broken off.

Su Yitong's marriage was arranged when Old Man Su was still alive. The father of the Zhang family was a child voice and failed the exams many times. At that time, Old Man Su, a scholar, was still alive, and the other party was very proactive and arranged the marriage early. Zhang Dengke, the son of the Zhang family, passed the last child voice exam and became a student, but Su Zhidong failed the last time. It was originally agreed that they would get married this year, but for some reason, before the end of the first month of the year, the Zhang family came to cancel the engagement, which made Old Lady Su so angry that she fell ill.

Old Lady Su also knew that the little girl didn't want to get married so soon, but it would be bad for her reputation if her family was rejected. Old Lady Su said to the Su family, "Go to the Zhang family's village tomorrow and ask around, secretly, to see if there is anything fishy going on in the Zhang family, why did they suddenly cancel the engagement."

"Mom, the engagement has already been cancelled, why are you asking these questions?" Su Yitong didn't want to have anything to do with that family anymore.

"Silly girl, we have to know why we are at a disadvantage. If the Zhang family is up to something, then canceling the engagement is not our problem, but the Zhang family's problem. This will be better for your reputation. I can't let his family tarnish my reputation so easily."

Su Laoer said, "Mom, I will go there tomorrow. I will definitely find out."

"Do it quietly, dress up, don't let the Zhang family find out." Mrs. Su believed in the second son, who was more cunning than the eldest son. The eldest son was a simple and honest person.

Li Hongmei also said, "Mom, don't worry! I will go with him."

"Okay, you two go together." The second son's wife is also someone who knows how to seize opportunities.
