So, no one looked up and acknowledged Su Sanlang.

Su Sanlang didn’t mind, but his eldest brother’s youngest son, Shun, suddenly lost his temper. He swung the lawnmower in his hand and shouted at Su Sanlang angrily, “Third Uncle, why aren’t you working? Why aren’t Eldest Brother and Second Brother working? Why can they play but I can’t?”

Su Chong and Su Hua had not been working for the past two days so they could play at home, he thought.

In Su Shun’s opinion, clearing the well and digging the mud was just a game.

Su Dalang walked over and slapped his youngest son, Su Shun, and said, “What are you shouting for? Hurry up and go back to work. Do you still want to eat or not?”

Su Shun felt extremely aggrieved after being slapped. He was not Su Chong or Su Hua, who could hold it in. He was furious and his face was red with anger. He wanted to cry but was slapped again.

Su Sanlang stopped for a moment when he heard the shout, but soon he walked away without looking back. His heart had gone cold for that home.

His father and brother did not even want to talk to him. They were probably afraid that he would shamelessly go and ask for food.

Su Sanlang left without looking back. Su Shun was still sniffling and asked Old Master Su indignantly, “Grandpa, Father hit me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Third Uncle clearly didn’t do any work.”

Old Master Su said sternly, “Your Third Uncle’s family has been separated. From now on, there’s no Third Uncle in the family. Don’t call him that in the future either. Stay away from those two fools. I’ll send you and Qing to school next year. Don’t tell those two fools in case you get led astray.”

“You and Qing must study hard and bring glory to our Su family in the future.”

Old Master Su had high hopes for his two grandchildren and was determined to send them to school.

Su Erlang tugged at his son, Su Qing, who was beside him. “Qing, swear to your grandfather.”

Su Qing immediately stood up straight and looked at Old Master Su seriously. “Grandpa, I swear that I will study hard and study hard to get scholarly honors.”

Su Dalang did not want to lose to his brother either. He tugged Su Shun, who was still sniffling. “Shun, swear to your grandfather too.”

Su Shun was still angry, but when he saw his father’s gloomy expression, he knew that he would be beaten up if he didn’t say anything, so he copied Su Qing and swore too.

Old Master Su nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “Alright, I believe you. Get to work.”

Without the burden of the third branch at home, work was even more tiring.

The effectiveness had clearly decreased over the past two days, so only Madam Wang and Madam Li were left at home to cook. Everyone had to go to the fields, and Madam Li and Madam Zhou would take turns cooking each day.

Last night, Madam Wang was still nagging at Old Master Su that if she had known earlier, she would have waited until the autumn harvest was over before separating the third branch. As she nagged, she could not help but curse Madam Zhao again giving birth at this time.

Old Master Su did not feel good either. He had been paying attention to the movements over at Salang’s house for the past few days.
