Chapter 47, Sister's Death

Su Jiao's family had the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in history. After eating and drinking, Su Jiao lit a charcoal fire and brewed a pot of brown sugar and ginger tea, planning to stay up late with her parents, brother and younger brothers.

That night Su Jiao drew a beautiful blueprint for her family, and everyone was full of expectations for the future.

An old wall clock in the house rang, it was twelve o'clock, Su Pingshan and Sun Zhaorong set off firecrackers in the yard, and each of Su Pingshan and Sun Zhaorong gave a New Year's red envelope to the five children.

Su Tianhai and Su Tianwen were very happy to receive the red envelopes. It was the first time in their lives that they received such a big New Year's red envelope. How could they not be happy?

Su Jiao took it, said a few words of blessing, took the red envelope and went back to the room to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Jiao woke up on time, opened the charcoal basin in the main room, put charcoal in, and soon the fire started.

The family members got up one after another. Sun Zhaorong went to the kitchen to bring the vegetables and put them on the charcoal basin to heat them. There were quite a lot of New Year customs in the Sujiahe area.

For example, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, no knife is used, no wood is chopped, no fire is lit, and unlucky words are not allowed. Therefore, every household covers the charcoal fire after watching the New Year, and gets up early the next morning, removes the charcoal fire, and puts in new charcoal.

Just go in and it will light up.

Su Jiao had a smile on her lips. She was actually living a pretty good life, just a little boring.

Sitting in the main room, the fire burned her face so red that it looked even prettier than if she had put on rouge.

The family was preparing to have breakfast when they heard a knock on the door and a yell: "Su Pingshan and Sun Zhaorong, you will not die well!"

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Mrs. Su.

Visiting someone else's house on the first day of the new year to seek bad luck is really something she can do.

Sun Zhaorong wanted to go out, but Su Pingshan held her back: "Ignore her and let her shout that we have nothing to do with her anymore."

Su Jiao also said: "That's right, Mom, it's so cold, so she will go back if she feels sleepy."

Everyone in the village knows that Mrs. Su is doing this for the world. When the neighbors hear this, they will only say that Mrs. Su deserves it. She treated her mother and father like she did before. Now that Su Lianshan's wife has run away, do they want Su Pingshan to give her money again?

How could she let her take over the whole thing? If this happened to me, I would probably just use a broom to chase people away.

That door was rebuilt by Su Pingshan when he came back. It is very strong and is not afraid of Mrs. Su breaking it.

Mrs. Su yelled for more than ten minutes and no one came out, so she returned to her home with a pale face.

Unexpectedly, Su Pingshan and Sun Zhaorong were so vicious-hearted that they could watch their brothers and mother die.

After returning home, Mrs. Su got angry when she looked at Su Lianshan: "Drink, drink, drink, you know how to drink, why don't I drink you to death."

Su Lianshan: "If I drink to death, can I still live like this?"

After he finished speaking, he took another sip of wine. After the alcohol started to smell, Su Lianshan started talking nonsense. His two sons were at a loss in the main room.

Grandma didn't come back with the food?

Even two steamed buns will do. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they can’t even have breakfast...

Mrs. Su looked at her two grandsons, feeling distressed. She scolded Liu Hongmei a few more times, and finally went to the kitchen to heat up some leftovers from last night.

The family of four had an indescribably miserable life this year, but Mrs. Su did not think she was wrong.

Su Lianshan is her biological son. What's wrong with getting more points when the family is separated? Sun Zhaorong has a status problem, and the old party secretaries are all on her side. Su Lianshan will definitely inherit the Su family in the future.

As for helping the Su Pingshan family, how could it be possible? Her own son was too busy here, so how could she ask Sun Zhaorong to take care of the children?

If it hadn't been for her kindness in finally leaving an old house for Su Pingshan, their family would have no shelter from the wind and rain.

But now I don’t remember my own good points at all, and I only pick on those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things. My mind is so narrow-minded!

Mrs. Su became more and more angry as she thought about it, and decided that after Su Jiao's family went to town, she would also go there and enjoy the happiness.

In fact, Su Jiao had always been on guard against Mrs. Su. She turned to Sun Zhaorong and said, "Mom, are you thinking of something else after failing to make an idea?"

Sun Zhaorong: "That's for sure. What kind of temperament does she have? She won't give up until she takes advantage."

"Then, will she go to the town to cause trouble for us?"

Sun Zhaorong: "Well, definitely."

Su Jiao planned to ask Sun Zhaorong after dinner. She always felt that there was something fishy about their daughter's death, but Sun Zhaorong could not think of anything suspicious.

This old lady Su has a very vicious look every time she sees her. She wants to blow her up, maybe she can solve an old case.

Su Pingshan was also a little worried. Mrs. Su was so capable, and now that Liu Hongmei was gone and there was no one who could control her, she would definitely become more unscrupulous.

Sun Zhaorong was a little worried when she thought about this. If she kept making trouble, it would be difficult for them to do business.

After finishing the meal, Su Jiao pulled Sun Zhaorong into the room, closed the door, and asked seriously: "Mom, I want to ask you something, please don't speak too loudly later."

Sun Zhaorong was confused: "Okay, Jiaojiao, you can ask, Mom has no secrets now."

Su Jiao: "That's right, what was the situation like when my sister died? Were you the only one in the family?"

Sun Zhaorong was surprised: "Why did Jiaojiao think of asking this?"

Su Jiao: "Mom, I suspect that my sister's death is related to grandma."

Sun Zhaorong almost screamed, but finally endured it: "Jiaojiao, why do you say that?"

Sun Zhaorong actually suspected that there must be other reasons for her daughter's mysterious death, but there was no evidence, and the mortality rate of newborns in that era was still quite high, so she suppressed her suspicions.

Su Jiao knew from the look on Sun Zhaorong's face that she actually suspected that her daughter's death was not normal, but she had no evidence.

"Mom, grandma has always looked at me wrongly since I was a child, and she is very vicious to me. She can curse me for anything. Even if she is not my granddaughter, she and I are still a family."

"Also, when she comes to our house, she never dares to enter the room where you and dad used to be."

Sun Zhaorong knew this, and thought she didn't dare to enter because a baby had died in the house and felt unlucky, but she never thought it might be because of a guilty conscience, or in other words, she was afraid!

Sun Zhaorong only needs to put the things in that room and keep them safe from Mrs. Su.

Sun Zhaorong was a little excited: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, this, this can't be true, right?"

Su Jiao: "Mom, it's been too long. Do you still remember what your sister looked like when she died?"

Sun Zhaorong looked a little sad: "I remember it was very hot that day. I saw her sleeping soundly, so I planned to get up and wash something."

The work at home was heavy, and there was no elder to help me at that time, so there was no such thing as confinement.

No matter how hard or tiring we are, we are all alone. Su Tianyu is the oldest, only over three years old at that time.

Su Pingshan had to go to work, and she had to do household chores at home. This was how everyone came, day and night.

She only rested for two days, and got up on the third day to do housework and cook.
