Chapter 134 The Truth
Grandma Su from Lotus Village, whose leg was broken by a wild boar a few months ago, has finally recovered.
Fang Yingxue persuaded him to come to Gu's Restaurant in Qinghe County, hoping to extort a large sum of money from him for his retirement.
The eldest son and his father from the Su family also came along.
Fang Yingxue also came to watch the commotion, but she kept her distance.
This was Grandma Su's first time at Gu's Restaurant, and she arrived right during the lunch rush. Seeing so many people queuing outside the door, she was filled with envy.
I never expected that the brat from the third son's family could run such a successful restaurant!
They're quite clever. Could it really be that like begets like? Did they inherit the traits of that powerful Luo family in the capital?
Old Mrs. Su has only focused on one thing in her life: bullying the third branch of the family. She is exceptionally experienced in doing this.
After decades of oppression, it's very difficult to change this habit.
She lay down at the entrance of Gu's restaurant, stretching out her arms and legs, blocking the door completely.
Don't even think about doing business with me if you don't pay.
The old woman cried pitifully, tears streaming down her face, "Heavens above, please teach this unfilial son a lesson! He runs a big restaurant and makes so much money, but he hasn't given his own mother a single penny for her old age..."
When Su Qianqian came out, she felt that the old lady had come at the right time, as she wanted to find out the truth about her father's biological parents from the old lady.
It was the second son's wife who overheard from the old lady that the third son's family wasn't her biological child, and she told Su Qianqian without reservation.
However, the second son's wife didn't know much either; she only overheard a few things from the upper room.
Su Qianqian remembered Gu Ying's letter saying that Luo Wulang in the capital looked a lot like her father, so she decided to try to trick Old Madam Su.
She stopped the shop assistants who were about to carry the old lady away, saying, "You all go back to your work in the shop, I'll handle things here."
The men nodded and went back to work in the restaurant lobby.
Grandma Su was still crying loudly, saying that the third wife was so rich but didn't give her any money for retirement, and how miserable her life was in the countryside.
Su Qianqian deliberately tricked Old Madam Su, saying, "Old Madam, my father isn't your biological son. If you want to find someone to take care of you in your old age, go to the capital and find your biological son. I heard that your biological son is enjoying a life of luxury in the Luo family in the capital."
Upon hearing this, the old lady Su, who was throwing a tantrum at the gate, suddenly froze.
That brat from the third wife actually knows that her father's real blood relatives are in the capital!
Good heavens, where did this girl find out the truth?
She kept it a secret for decades, thinking she could keep it hidden until she was buried, but the truth was exposed so quickly.
The old man had told her that no matter what happened, she must never reveal that the child swapping had happened.
That family in the capital are officials; they might be furious when they find out the truth and kill the entire Su family, and even ruin their own son's future in the Luo family.
Grandma Su was so frightened that her face turned pale. Forgetting about her retirement money, she got up from the ground and ran away as if she were being chased by a ghost.
Fang Yingxue was quite disappointed. She didn't expect that after Old Madam Su fell ill, her fighting power would become so weak. She was dismissed by Su Qianqian with just a few words. It was really infuriating.
So much breath wasted on the old lady.
Looking at the old lady's flustered back, Su Qianqian was certain that her father's biological parents were indeed in the capital, and most likely the Luo family, otherwise the old lady wouldn't have been so frightened.
She has already written to Gou Dan, asking him to help investigate. The truth will come out sooner or later.
Su Qianqian decided to keep this matter a secret from her parents for the time being, and wait until she had a clear understanding of the Luo family before making a decision.
The eldest son and his father, Su, were full of wicked schemes and came with the old lady.
Both father and son were lazy and good-for-nothing, and they had both received an education using the dowry money from the third wife, so they knew a few characters.
After hearing Qian Yatou's words, Su Laoda's eyes darted around. He could tell that the old lady was feeling guilty, so what Qian Yatou said was probably true.
That old lady is really something. She kept such a big secret for decades and didn't even let her own son know a word about it.
On the way back to Lotus Village, Su the eldest couldn't help but ask, "Mother, is what Qian'er said true? Is my third brother really enjoying a life of luxury in the capital?"
Remembering her husband's words, Old Mrs. Su was determined not to reveal the secret of the child swap, so she quickly denied it, saying, "Nothing of the sort is true. That brat is just talking nonsense. Su Bing is my biological son."
"Mother, I don't believe it. If Su Bing were your biological son, you certainly wouldn't have abused him like that before."
Grandma Su was furious and ignored her eldest son the whole way.
She returned home and kept talking to the drooling, senile old man.
"Old man, that girl from the third branch is very shrewd. She already knows about our child swap. However, they probably haven't gone to the capital to claim their relatives yet. If they had already claimed kinship with such an official and wealthy family, how could that fool Su Bing still be staying in our Lotus Village farming!"
The Luo family's carriage happened to break down at the intersection of Lotus Village, so they stayed overnight at the Su family's house.
The old lady and her husband realized that the other party was either rich or noble, and since newborn babies all look similar, they had the wicked idea of switching the babies.
Grandma Su only knew that the Luo family members held official positions in the capital, but she didn't know exactly what those positions were. She had never been to the capital and didn't know where the Luo family lived.
"Old man, tell me, was it right or wrong for us to secretly switch the Luo family's child back then?"
"The Luo family are officials. If they find out the truth, will they put us in jail? Or take us to the execution ground to be beheaded?"
The more Grandma Su thought about it, the more frightened she became, muttering to herself while wiping away tears.
She felt very lonely ever since her husband developed dementia.
"Old man, do you think our biological son can really enjoy a good life in the Luo family in the capital? I wonder how he's doing now. I really want to see my biological son one last time before I die, so I can die in peace."
Unfortunately, the capital was too far away, and Old Mrs. Su felt that she would never have the chance to see her third son again in this lifetime, which made her very sad.
Grandma Su thought of Su Bing again.
She wished Su Bing would die. If Su Bing and her own son hadn't both been newborns and indistinguishable, how could she have had the greedy thought of switching children?
So much so that she is now so far away from her biological son, and will never see him again until her death. No one is more pitiful than her.
It's all Su Bing's fault! It's all Su Bing's fault that she was separated from her child!
The old lady has decided that she will go and make a scene with Su Bing tomorrow, and she won't let Su Bing live a comfortable life.
Su Fugui hid under the old lady's window and overheard her mutterings, which shocked him greatly.
It turns out that his third uncle, Su Bing, was indeed switched at birth by his grandparents. No wonder his grandmother always bullied the third branch of the family.
What shocked Su Fugui even more was that his third uncle was actually in the capital, and he came from an official family.
These grandparents, though quiet, are quite capable of doing great things. They actually did something as drastic as switching children, sending their own son to a wealthy family to enjoy a life of luxury, while constantly abusing the other family's child.
That's incredibly ruthless, even more so than him.
Su Fugui returned to the main house and told his father what he had heard.
Boss Su was overjoyed and happily circled around the room several times.
"This is truly wonderful news. We've been poor our whole lives, and now we're finally going to turn our lives around."
The eldest son of the Su family immediately decided to go to the capital. "So it turns out that you two are destined for wealth and honor. Since your third uncle is rich, and your grandmother said that he grew up in a wealthy and powerful family, then it's easy. Let's go to the capital to find him. He will definitely give us a lot of money."
Su Fugui grinned from ear to ear, dreaming of becoming rich soon.
"Dad, we're finally going to be rich! If our third uncle doesn't give us money then, we'll expose his fake identity and make it impossible for him to stay in the Luo family."
The father and son were so excited they couldn't sleep. They kept whispering to each other until late at night, dreaming of a bright future.
The eldest son's wife was busy in the yard and didn't hear the conversation between the father and son, so she didn't know about the secret of the child swap.
She was annoyed that the father and son woke her up. She had so much work to do all day long, and the two of them wouldn't let her get a good night's sleep.
"Are you two going to sleep or not?"
Old Master Su was a scholar, so he immediately took out paper and pen, wrote a letter of divorce, and threw it in his wife's face.
"Get out, get out! I've already divorced you. Tomorrow you're going back to your parents' house."
He had long disliked this vulgar woman.
His family was poor before, so there was nothing he could do, but things are different now. Once he gets to the capital and sees his younger brother, he'll have more money than he can spend.
With money, I won't have to worry about finding a beautiful wife, and I won't have to look at this old woman's ugly face anymore.
No, one is too few. He will have to marry at least five beautiful wives.
The eldest son's wife never expected that after working hard all her life, bearing children for Su Dachuan, she would be divorced after she grew old and lost her beauty.
Clutching the letter of divorce, she lay on the bed and wept uncontrollably.
It was late at night, a perfect time to get things done. The eldest son and his father quietly went to the old lady's room and stole her only remaining silver bracelet.
The next morning, the father and son set off in high spirits, humming songs and extremely happy, preparing to go to the capital to find the Luo family that the old lady had mentioned.
When Grandma Su woke up, she planned to confront Su Bing, but when she reached under her pillow, she found that her silver bracelet was gone.
That's all she has left of her valuable possessions.
"Damn it, who stole my old woman's silver bracelet? May they die a horrible death—"
The old lady was no longer in the mood to cause trouble for Su Bing; she hugged her pillow and cried her heart out.
The eldest daughter-in-law in the next room was also crying so loudly that she was rolling around on the bed.
