Chapter 398 - 384: The Ending of Chen Juxiang
"It’s comfortable to be at home for a thousand days, but difficult to step out even for one day. Although our family’s conditions in the village aren’t the best, at least we manage to keep you fed and warm. You haven’t done any heavy labor or suffered much since you were a child. If you were to leave and had to fend for yourself, how could you withstand that?"
He Damei shook her head repeatedly.
"Yes, the Lu Family has already loosened up on us now, haven’t they? Next year, once we plant potatoes, we can sell them at a high price too. Our family will definitely be able to save up money quickly. Worst comes to worst, we don’t need to find a bride from around here; we could even buy one for you if we have to."
Su Lao Liu also deeply disapproved of the only seedling of the Su Family leaving home to venture out.
"Grandpa, I’ve long hated staying in this village; I feel suffocated," Su Kai said, his face twisted in anguish. In Yushu Village, not to mention children from other families who refused to play with him, even kids his age from his own family ostracized him.
The reason his family didn’t realize he was being beaten by that girl’s brother for over half a year was because getting beaten up outside was normal for him. At first, he would come home and tattle, then his family would accompany him to confront the offenders. But no one was afraid of them; more often than not, they ended up further humiliated.
Their family was weak and had no backing from the clan. Every time, it would end with nothing more than another round of humiliation. Gradually, when he was bullied or beaten outside, he stopped coming home to complain, claiming he had just fallen.
His family actually knew the truth but was powerless to change anything. He truly didn’t want his future kids to endure the same treatment.
