Su He is already steaming meat buns. My uncle's family will also be here today, so more meat buns need to be steamed. Su He is in charge of steaming them, while Zhou is still making them. Soon, my aunt Jin and my cousin Ma also come to help, which improves efficiency a lot.

Ma was a kind, introverted and pretty woman, just like her mother-in-law Zheng. She started working as soon as she entered the kitchen and never stopped. Su He was outdone by her aunts and could only sit aside and listen to their chat.

"Guihua, is your Shengzi going to meet someone in a few days?"

"Yes, Yuzhen, it's the fourth day of the New Year. We plan to borrow Hehua's carriage to pick up the girl. You should come early that day and help take care of our Shengzi."

When Jin talked about her son's lifelong event, her face flushed with joy.

In this village, when choosing a wife, the man always asks his family's relatives and elders to come together to choose the right woman. Even if Ma didn't mention it today, Jin would have to say it.

A trace of envy flashed in Ma's eyes. She didn't know when her Liangzi would be able to meet his wife. His family relied on begging for money to make a living every year, and even the matchmaker was unwilling to set foot in his house.

"Yuzhen, there will be work in the future, you and Jingui should go too. If your uncle has any complaints, let your parents take care of it. You also need to save some money, otherwise the grudge will be too big."

"Yes, I originally wanted to let you go this time, but my uncle said that the landlord's family was not honest and refused to let you go. We all got the money this time, and the manager said that he would call us if there was work in the future."

Ma was also tempted. She only had this one precious son and she couldn't bear to see him remain single.

Thinking of this, Ma gritted her teeth and decided, "Sister-in-law, please keep an eye out for us. If there is work, we will go."

Jin was very happy to see that Ma had figured it out, and she agreed immediately.

"Aunt, is Dahe Village the home of Shunzi's cousin?"

Su He has never seen what this cousin Shunzi looks like. At first he was injured and couldn't help, and later he was recuperating and couldn't stand the wind.

When talking about Shunzi, several aunts sighed, "Uncle is so cruel. Shunzi has been here for more than ten days and no one has come to visit him."

"In the past, Shunzi was expected to work like a slave at home. Now that my uncle's youngest son has grown up, the family no longer needs Shunzi and has abandoned him. In addition, the elders in the clan have always been dissatisfied with the fact that Shunzi has not yet married. How could my uncle be willing to pay a large sum of money for Shunzi to marry him?"

"If Aunt Qing were still alive, Shunzi would have married a long time ago."

The three of them felt very sympathetic when they thought of the old Shunzi. Among them, Ma was the most touched. Compared with Shunzi who was 30 years old and still hadn't married, Liangzi from their family was only 16. No matter how late he was, he would definitely not be later than Shunzi. When the idea of ​​"not as good as the best but better than the worst" came out, Ma was comforted at once.

Su He wanted to be different from her three aunts. She wondered if this great-uncle was such a scumbag, would he let Shunzi take care of him in his old age when his condition got better?

It is possible for a person to become shameless.

Su He expressed her thoughts, and the atmosphere in the kitchen became solemn. Zhou didn't even have the mood to make meat buns.

"No, I'll go ask the head of the family about the situation. Guihua, Yuzhen, you guys go ahead and take care of it."

Zhou left in a hurry, and Su He followed her. She felt that she could help with some ideas.

Zhou didn't go anywhere else, and went straight to the cowshed. Wang Fugui and others were there, "Boss, come here."

Wang Fugui saw Zhou's anxious look and hurried out.

After listening to what Zhou said, he fell into deep thought. The problem of retirement care is very likely. Shunzi's life is already difficult, and if he is sucked dry by this family, he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

"There are many people at home today, so, Minmin, let's eat first, and then go to Dahe Village to settle this matter. I will go find my father and uncle and ask them to invite the village chief. The sooner we get it done, the more at ease we will be."

Wang Fugui knew that his father was in Shunzi's room. "Dad, uncle, Shunzi, there has been no movement from Uncle Yongcheng. Should we go and settle it? I'm afraid that Uncle and his family will not only not help Shunzi get married, but also want to take care of Shunzi in his old age."

Shunzi's full name is Xu Shun. His biological mother is Wang Qingqing and his biological father is Xu Yongcheng. His biological mother died of illness when he was 10 years old. His mother came into the family the next year and gave birth to a son, Xu Fa, the next year.

If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. The sadness of this is needless to say. When Shunzi heard his cousin's words, his eyes were filled with despair. He knew that his biological father and stepmother could do this. Even if not for their youngest son, they would do it for themselves.

This is his fate in this life.

"Uncle, just raise him. I'm not planning on starting a family anyway."

Su Erming jumped up and slapped him, "I think you are a fool. You can keep him if you want. What can you use to support him? You are starving to death, you idiot. With your brain, you deserve to be bullied!"

"Okay, Erming, let's think about what to do. Shunzi, your uncle's words are unpleasant but they make sense. You are now supported by the fine grains of He Hua, and you will have to work to pay off your debts in the future. Tell me how you support yourself. Is your father easy to get rid of? You are so old now, why don't you use your brain when you speak and do things?"

Although Su Daming also felt that his nephew was too weak and deserved to be scolded, the most important thing now was how to solve the problem.

Shunzi was filled with bitterness, guilt and helplessness, "Uncle, Shunzi was wrong, what should I do now?"

He didn't want to, but his father wouldn't let him go.

Su He had been waiting at the door for a long time and couldn't help himself when he heard this.

"Uncle, you can go to the old man to ask for money for Shunzi's uncle's wedding. Not to mention the money that his uncle has earned from working like a slave at home for so many years, the dowry left by my great aunt is enough. If the old man is unwilling to give it, it will just be enough to cover the pension. Just go to the village chief to sign a severance agreement."

Wang Daming and others thought it made sense. Shunzi also looked towards the door curiously, wanting to see this cousin who had decisively brought her younger siblings to sever ties with her father's family. She was much more capable than himself.

Of course, she couldn't see anything, and Su He was also afraid that her cousin was still in disarray, which would be embarrassing.

"What if your great-uncle is a scoundrel and refuses to give money, insisting on supporting him in his old age? If he says you are unfilial, how will Shunzi live in the future?"

Su He smiled, "Grandpa, my cousin is already like this, what else does he have to lose? No matter what the result is, my cousin will never return to Dahe Village. My cousin has already said that he will not get married. He still has land and can make money. There are so many uncles and cousins ​​at home. To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of people to take care of him in his old age. The word filial piety cannot threaten my cousin."

When the people in the room heard this, they suddenly realized that, yes, even if they said Shunzi was unfilial, it would not have any impact. Besides, everyone around knew what kind of person Xu Yongcheng was. It was impossible to listen to their one-sided words. "

Su He continued to add,

"This is the worst possible outcome, but it is also good for us. So don't worry, we won't suffer any loss."

"We have to be clear about our purpose of going to Dahe Village, which is to get rid of this family of vampires. I heard from my aunt that the older generation of the Xu family is very dissatisfied with the old man. If we can convince them, then we can basically sever the relationship. Oh, and we can also ask the doctor who treated my cousin to testify. My cousin was abused to death."

"It's all us in my mother's family who are responsible for the treatment and recuperation. If Master Gu mentions the matter of retirement, let him pay back the money first. Grandpa, I remember that the treatment and medicine plus the fine grains will cost at least three or four taels in the past ten days."

Wang Daming smiled and nodded, "We did spend a lot of money, as well as Qingmei's dowry, the land, and Shunzi's wages for working away from home for so many years. I remember that the clan leader of Dahe Village is quite familiar with the village chief of our village. Fugui, go to the kitchen to ask Zhou for some meat. I will go to ask the village chief in person. Hehua, do you have any snacks? If so, give me two boxes. These meat and snacks will be counted for Shunzi and will be deducted from his wages in the future."

Wang Erming was his brother's yes-man. "Right! Take it all out of this kid's wages. Lotus, your cousin will work for you for free all your life. Anyway, if this kid is full, the whole family will not starve. It will save you a lot of trouble."

Su He agreed on the spot and went back to his room to get cakes. In addition to cakes, he also took the all-purpose brown sugar. Each gift was a bag of brown sugar, a box of cakes, and two pounds of pork belly. Su He persuaded grandpa to prepare three portions, and the extra portion was for backup, so there was no need to take it back.

Wang Bin drove the carriage to take grandpa to the village chief, and the others also got busy.
