"Alrighty!"
Su Xiangfei happily rushed into the house and took a plate of firecrackers before returning to the courtyard. His behavior made Sujanin, who had just come out of the kitchen, dumbfounded with disbelief written all over her face. Although she could see that his relationship with Tan Xiu had improved from Su Xiangfei's performance yesterday, she didn't expect that he would listen to Tan Xiu to this extent.
Sujanin now knew that Tan Xiu was very powerful. Not only did he set up the powerful Magnificent Tang Corporation, but he was also a member of the Tang Family in the Imperial Capital. But she also knew her brother very well. With the relationship between her family and Tan Xiu, how could her brother, Su Xiangfei, be like this?
Clap, clap, clap …
The sound of firecrackers sounded as Su Lingyun and Mrs. Zhang, who were busy in the kitchen, also began to cook dumplings. Taking advantage of the time when the firecrackers were finished, Sujanin came to Su Xiangfei's side and asked with a frown, "Brother, you seem to … listen to Tan Xiu very much?"
"He's very capable, so I naturally have to listen to him," Su Xiangfei said with a smile.
"But Dad and Mom …" Sujanin angrily said.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangfei suddenly remembered something. He looked at Tan Xiu, who was walking to the kitchen, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sis, it's my fault. I forgot to tell you before. Tan Xiu has contacted the people in Star City and asked them to find a way to bail out Dad and Mom. Ah, that's right. Tang Xiu also told me when I just got up that Mom and Dad are already on the way back, and … they will be back in the village in about two hours. "
"What?"
Sujanin looked at Su Xiangfei with disbelief. The news was like a thunderclap that shook her heart.
"Sis, I know you're still angry with Tan Xiu and think that he's the one who caused us to lose everything. But think about how we treated Tan Xiu and Aunt in the past. That's right, our family was rich at that time. My aunt had to take care of Tan Xiu, so her life was very difficult. She even often came to our family to borrow money. But we looked at them with arrogant eyes, treated them with contempt and made things difficult for them, and even almost caused Tan Xiu to go to jail. Right? "
"Sister, look at the present. The wealth that Tan Xiu has now is more than a hundred times more than what our family used to have, right? But what about him? How did he treat us? As long as we're close to him, he and Aunt won't look down on us and won't make things difficult for us. Dad committed suicide in the hospital. Why? It's not because of the family's failure, but because he regrets how he treated Tan Xiu and Aunt. "
As Su Xiangfei spoke up to there, he silently took out a half-pack of cigarettes from his pocket. After lighting it up, he took a few deep puffs. A bitter expression appeared on his face as he said again, "Do you know the reason why I realized that our family has been in trouble all these years?"
"What reason?" Sujanin asked with a blank expression.
Pointing to the courtyard door, Su Xiangfei bitterly said, "I just returned to the Su Family Village. The villagers still don't know that our family has been defeated, nor do they know that our parents have been imprisoned. But their eyes when they look at me are full of contempt and disgust. They even look down on me. Why? Isn't it because we've forgotten our roots all these years? "
"Our roots?"
Su Yaning felt as if her heart had been ruthlessly struck, and a faint pain grew in her heart.
That's right!
Her roots were in the Su Family Village. Even if her family once had tens of millions of assets, so what? Could it be that they could forget their ancestors? If they forgot their ancestors, then what would become of their family?
Su Xiangfei gently hugged Sujanin's shoulder and sighed, "Sis, we were wrong before, and we have to admit our mistakes. Our previous attitude towards Tan Xiu and Auntie, as well as our attitude towards the villagers in the Su Family Village, was wrong. As the saying goes, knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Last night, I really felt the change in the villagers' attitude towards me. Even Su Quan drank a bit too much last night. He told me something. Do you know what it is? "
"What is it?"
Sujanin's complexion was a bit pale as she asked in a low voice.
Su Xiangfei said, "The neighboring village, Little Wang Manor. You're not unfamiliar with it, right? We grew up here when we were young. Su Quan drank a lot. Then, he told me that he wanted to recognize his ancestors and cherish his family. He wanted to unite with the villagers because we all had the same surname, Su. Our ancestors were from the same family, and we were a family. You should have heard of Little Wang Manor's Wang Xinke, right? Because of his good fortune, he went to the city to do a big business. His family is very rich, and every time he comes back, he always has a swaggering appearance. And the result? Just two years ago, Wang Xinke's father died in Little Wang Manor. On the day of the funeral, because he was so unpopular, there wasn't even a villager to help carry the coffin. What happened next? It was his uncle, the village chief, who took him to kowtow and apologize to everyone. Finally, there were villagers who were willing to help carry the coffin and send the old man to the field. "
Sujanin understood.
A regretful expression appeared on her face, and she didn't speak for a long time. Moreover, she found that her brother had really grown up and become sensible. He was no longer the child who relied on his family's stinky money to do whatever he wanted.
"Brother, I know."
Sujanin hugged Su Xiangfei, then let go of him and strode toward the kitchen.
Two hours later.
A police car stopped at the entrance of the Su Family Village. As the door opened, Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun came out of the police car, followed by a middle-aged man in a police uniform.
"Thank you, Officer Hu. Thank you for personally sending us back." Su Shangwen held the middle-aged policeman's hand and spoke with a grateful expression.
The middle-aged policeman said with a smile, "You're welcome. It's what I should do. Also, please give my regards to Chief Long and Chief Chen. "
"Certainly!"
Even though Su Shangwen knew that it was Long Hanwen and Chen Zhizhong who got him and his wife out of the prison, but he did not have any friendship with the two of them. The main culprit should be Tang Xiu, but he still spoke to deal with it.
As the police car left.
Su Shangwen squatted down and opened the duffel bag on the ground. He took out two cartons of cigarettes from the inside, opened one, grabbed a few packs and put them in his pocket. Then, he stuffed the rest back into the duffel bag. Only then did he turn to look at Zhang Meiyun and lightly said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Su Family Village is my home, and my Mom is here. We've made too many mistakes before. I hope you can be like what you said and live a peaceful life with me. "
Zhang Meiyun squeezed out a smile as she nodded and said, "Shangwen, I was wrong before. I already know that I was wrong. You can rest assured that I won't put my eyes on the top of my head again. "
Su Shangwen nodded without a word. He then picked up the duffel bag and walked toward the village. As soon as he entered the village, he saw several villagers who got up early to visit their elders.
"Big Brother Dazhu, Jianxi …"
After greeting them, Su Shangwen's face was full of smiles. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it one by one.
When these people saw Su Shangwen, they were too lazy to pay attention to him. But looking at his passionate look, even though the few of them were astonished, they still nodded their heads and took the cigarettes from Su ShangWen.
"It's good that you're back."
Su Dazhu nodded and said.
Su Shangwen said with an obsequious smile, "Big Brother Dazhu, it's all my fault before. I got a bit of money and forgot my surname. You can rest assured that this Little Brother will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future. Su Family Village is my home, and everyone in the village is also my family. "
Su Dazhu and the others looked at each other in dismay. Then, Su Dazhu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile on his face, "Not bad. It's really not easy for you to realize that you're wrong. Your son is also not bad. He's a real man. Come to my house when you have time. I'll ask my sister-in-law to prepare a few dishes and we'll drink a few cups. "
Son?
Su Shangwen stared blankly for a moment, but he still put on a smiling face and promised.
Immediately after, Su Shangwen bade farewell to them and entered the village. Along the way, he met a lot of villagers. Every time, he would stop and greet everyone with a smile on his face. Then, he would open his cigarette and share it with everyone. What made him puzzled was that every villager would mention his son, Su Xiangfei, with a tone full of praise. He wanted to ask the reason, but because people kept passing by and kept greeting everyone, he couldn't ask.
After half an hour, Su ShangWen and Zhang Meiyun finally arrived at the entrance of their old courtyard. Looking at the off-road vehicle that was parked outside, Su ShangWen stopped his footsteps as he looked at his wife and asked, "Have you noticed that the villagers seem to be treating us differently now that we've returned?"
Zhang Meiyun also deeply felt the change in the villagers' attitude toward the couple. She nodded silently and said, "Yeah, they've become … cordial. In the past, when we came back, the villagers didn't pay attention to us. "
Su Shangwen sighed, "That's because we looked down on them before. Our reputation in the village was very bad. Let's go! Although I don't know what changed the situation, we must cherish it. No matter how you put it, this is our home! "
"Alright!"
After a series of events, Zhang Meiyun's former arrogance had long disappeared. She carried her luggage and followed Su Shangwen into the courtyard.
"Dad, Mom."
Su XiangFei and Su YaNing had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When they saw their parents appear, they jumped up from their chairs almost instantly and rushed over.
"Little Fei, Little Ning."
Seeing her children again, Zhang Meiyun's eyes suddenly burst out with tears. She hugged the siblings and didn't want to let go. Su Shangwen only glanced at his children before his eyes fell on Tang Yunde and Tan Xiu in the courtyard.
He strode forward.
Su Shangwen came to the expressionless Tang Yunde and knelt down straight, "I'm sorry, Brother-In-Law."
Tang Yunde sighed inwardly and slowly helped Su Shangwen up from the ground. He shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize to me. You should apologize to your younger sister and nephew."
Su Shangwen turned to look at Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu directly said, "You don't need to apologize. If you can change, you're still family. If you can't, then we'll walk our separate ways."
Su Shangwen heavily nodded and said, "I'll change."
At this moment …
Zhang Shi, who heard the movement inside the house, came out accompanied by Su Lingyun and Mu Qingping. When she saw her son, Su Shangwen, she froze on the spot.
