Chapter 83 worries to pieces
Su Zongming belched from the alcohol, "Yes, it’s yours. When your eldest brother passed away, he divided the family properties into two parts. Originally, both were supposed to be equal, containing both good and poorer fields. Then you and Guaizi drew lots, and whatever lot you drew, that was yours...
Upon hearing Su Zongming mention the past, Su Xiaofeng’s eyes narrowed; it seemed there had been quite a bit of trickery when the land was divided back then.
Usually as cunning as a monkey, Su Zongming turned into a chatterbox once he drank, spilling everything. Listening to his father, Su Guisheng realized his father was definitely drunk, which made him more talkative.
He forgot about eating and pulled Su Zongming aside to leave, "Dad, my sister-in-law is right, today there are guests at my elder brother’s house, we should discuss this matter about the house tomorrow. Dad, let’s go home to eat; Donghua has cooked lots of food."
"Let’s just eat here, since we’ve come all this way. Why go back?" Su Zongming refused to get up.
"Yeah, let’s eat here," Xiaofeng went into the kitchen and brought out another bowl of braised pork and placed it in the center of the table. This bowl of meat was supposed to be saved for tomorrow, but to extract the true story of the property division from Su Zongming, she had to sacrifice it.
Looking at the braised pork, Su Zongming swallowed, extending his chopsticks to pick up a piece.
Seeing the braised pork served, Su Guisheng also lost any desire to leave.
He and his dad had come to his elder brother’s place this evening for this very bite of meat.
"Uncle," Su Xiaofeng served a piece of braised pork to Su Zongming, "I didn’t quite understand what you said just now. You were saying when Grandpa divided the property, both portions had good and bad land, but when it came to my dad, why was it all land that couldn’t grow crops?"
All it comprised was deep-water and dry fields, while the good rice fields ended up in Su Guisheng’s hands.
