The visitor was a guest. Although she was full of doubts, Mrs. Su asked her daughter-in-law to quickly make tea and entertain the guests.
Old man Su was also in a complicated mood here, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Especially when I saw a little boy of about six years old next to Su Laosi, I felt even more uncomfortable.
You know without asking that this is the fourth son's son.
He is obviously his grandson, but now he takes someone else's surname and becomes someone else's grandson.
Shopkeeper Li, Su Laosi’s father-in-law, is named Li Fugui.
As his name suggests, he is chubby and does look wealthy.
Su Laosi's mother-in-law, whose surname is Hua, is about forty years old. She is neatly dressed and gives off a shrewd look.
In the room, neither Old Man Su nor Old Mrs. Su spoke, and the atmosphere fell into a strange embarrassment.
"Haha... Mr. Li has not come to visit his in-laws in these years. It is Mr. Li who is rude, and I hope his in-laws will forgive me." Shopkeeper Li is a businessman after all, and he said with a smile as if he could not feel the indifference of the Su family.
Old man Su said in a calm tone: "Shopkeeper Li, you're welcome. It's because I didn't educate my son well. The brat went to the Li family privately and barged in. He's really disgraced the ancestors of the Su family!"
At the end of the sentence, there was uncontrollable anger in his tone.
His son became someone's son-in-law, which has always been a thorn in his heart.
Although this thorn was suppressed in his heart, it popped up again the moment he saw shopkeeper Li and his wife and Li Jizu.
"Dad, it's all the son's fault!" Su Sihu made a plop and knelt down, "It was the son who let the father down."
In fact, he always knew that what he did made his father feel unable to hold his head high in front of others.
My father wanted to be strong all his life, but he allowed his own son to discredit him and make him unable to straighten his spine.
Especially when he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he felt as if he was humbled in front of them.
When Li Shuying saw it, she also knelt down and said, "Dad, it's my daughter-in-law's fault. If you want to blame, blame your daughter-in-law."
Although Li Jizu was young, he knelt down when he saw his parents.
"Master, my grandson is willing to be punished for his parents." Li Jizu said mature words in a childish voice.
He is obviously a little kid, but he gives people a mature and steady feeling.
Moreover, he seemed particularly responsible.
Old Man Su felt sour in his heart when he looked at Li Jizu kneeling on the ground.
No matter how many boys there are in the Su family, and no matter how little care is given to boys, the descendants of the Su family must still be named Su, right?
I have to say that what Mr. Su said made Shopkeeper Li very embarrassed.
The kneeling of Su Laosi and his family made Shopkeeper Li even more embarrassed.
However, shopkeeper Li looked at the family of three kneeling on the ground, and when he thought of what he had to do next, his eyes suddenly turned red and he burst into tears.
"My in-laws, please stop saying such sarcastic words! Wow wow... you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is when you are hungry. You have a lot of sons, so how do you know the pain of not having a son... Wow wow...
…”
Old man Su, "...cough cough cough..."
I almost choked to death on my own saliva.
A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry. What kind of saying is this?
Mrs. Su was also shocked.
The style of painting became so outrageous that she was confused.
Shopkeeper Li didn't care what Mr. Su and his wife thought, they were crying with snot and tears.
"Wow... My dear, you don't know how difficult my life has been over the past few years, and how uncomfortable I feel... When I go out, I am laughed at for not having a son, and I want to cut off my descendants... I feel sorry for the ancestors of the old Li family.
Too shameless to enter the ancestral grave..."
The more shopkeeper Li cried, the sadder he became, and the more he cried, the more he couldn't hold it back.
I have to say that for a grown man to cry like this is really eye-catching and heartbreaking.
His daughter-in-law Hua Shi just wiped away her tears at first, but now she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and started to cry loudly.
"Ugh...Old man, it's me who's sorry for you. It's me who's sorry for the ancestors of the Li family...It's because I'm useless. I can't give birth to a son, and I won't let you take a concubine. I force my daughter to recruit a son-in-law...
"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Old woman, please stop showing any shame to me. No matter how many concubines you give me, I won't be able to give birth to a son. Let alone a son, I can't give birth to a daughter either... Uuuuuuuuuuuu"
Wow... Ever since I injured my body that year, I haven’t been able to do that anymore..."
"Cough cough cough..." Old man Su couldn't help it and coughed loudly.
The more you talk about this, the more outrageous it becomes. How can you even say something like this that concerns a man’s face?
At this moment, Old Man Su felt full of sympathy for Shopkeeper Li.
The original feeling of bowing one's head in front of Shopkeeper Li disappeared immediately.
People are so pitiful. I think it would be okay to give one to my son or grandson if I have a lot of them.
Mrs. Su's face was full of embarrassment and she pretended not to hear Shopkeeper Li reveal her shorts.
Su Laosi was also a little stupid.
Unexpectedly, my father-in-law and mother-in-law usually seemed very reliable, but why did they show up today?
Su Laosi was also a little embarrassed and had to lower his head and say nothing.
At the same time, I also feel sympathy for my father-in-law.
Shopkeeper Li was finally reminded by Old Man Su's loud coughing, and realized that he had accidentally revealed his background, and his cries could not help but stop.
The tearful look turned into a face full of embarrassment, which looked a little funny.
"Well, in-laws, drink some tea to moisten your mouth." Old Man Su said quickly.
Shopkeeper Li quickly wiped his tears and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Let the in-laws laugh."
"Haha..." Old Man Su smiled dryly, not knowing what to say.
After all, I just learned someone else’s little secret.
However, after this incident, the atmosphere in the room was not so depressing and tense.
Mrs. Su quickly asked Su Sihu and his family to get up.
Su Sihu looked at his father's expression and knew that the thorn in his father's heart should not be so deep.
He couldn't help but glance at his father-in-law.
Immediately, he stood up and helped his wife again.
Li Jizu was very filial on the other side, reaching out to help his mother up.
Shopkeeper Li took a sip of tea and said, "My dear, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I'm here today to give you back your son and your grandson."
"Return a son? Send a grandson?" Old Man Su was startled.
He looked towards Su Laosi and Li Jizu.
Could it be...
Shopkeeper Li waved to Li Jizu, pulled Li Jizu to his side, and said, "This is your grandson. His surname was originally Su. Let him change his surname back to Su in the future."
Old man Su, "...in-laws, what do you mean?"
Shopkeeper Li nodded, "In-laws means exactly what you think."
Old man Su, "..."
The plot became a bit too fast, and Mr. Su couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Shopkeeper Li was crying bitterly just now that he didn't have a son, but now he wants to stop his son-in-law and grandson.
"In-laws, why is this?" Old Man Su asked, suppressing the complexity and excitement in his heart.
Shopkeeper Li glanced at Li Jizu lovingly and said with pride: "My dear, you don't know this yet, right? Despite his young age, Jizu was already enlightened at the age of three. Even his master praised him as a child prodigy and a good scholar.
A good youngster, as long as he is taught well, will become a great person in the future."
When Shopkeeper Li said this, he paused, with a flash of regret in his eyes, and then said: "But you also know that our family is a merchant, and the descendants of merchant families cannot take part in the imperial examination. I cannot delay my successor because of my own selfishness.
Ancestor’s future…”
