They were truly unfilial. Where in the world would they find parents that could endure such a huge disappointment?
“Didn’t I only cause some superficial bleeding? I didn’t even kill anyone. Why make such a small matter look big?” Su Jin Long’s obstinacy appeared. He already said that he wouldn’t do it again, but his sister would not let him off.
“Right. This time if you do not take causing a head injury seriously. Next time, it won’t matter when you chop off someone’s arm. And after that, you’ll simply be able to kill someone,” Using Liu Zi’s incident today, Su Mian had to make Su Jin Long stay far away from Su Jin Biao.
“You are saying it as if I’ve done it already,” Su Jin Long pulled on Su Mian, “Sister, I only injured someone else’s head, how could it be as serious as what you are saying.”
“Today, you must swear that you will not have anything to do with Su Jin Biao, then I’ll forgive you.”
“Sister,” Su Jin Long lowered his voice hoping that Su Mian would be lenient on him.
Su Mian ignored him and continued, “Su Jin Biao has his own hands and feet. Why didn’t he retaliate himself? Why did others not retaliate as well? It’s because you have no worries, you only have your sense of justice!”
“Just a while ago in the courtyard, Liu Zi’s mother was wailing loudly. I do not believe that Su Jin Biao, who is only one house away, did not hear her. Where was he then? He did not even come to speak for you.”
“You still dare to talk about brotherhood. He might not even feel grateful to you!”
Su Hong and Su Jin Biao were indeed hiding at the edge of the wall. Others might not have noticed them, but Su Mian saw them. Her hearing ability and eyesight were a lot better than average. She could clearly see them and even hear their conversations.
Su Jin Long lowered his head. His large black eyes blinked a few times. There was no mistake about this. Su Jin Biao and the others did not even make a single move. They only stood on the footpath, cheering and instigating him, “Su Jin Long, if you are truly a good brother to Brother Biao, then you should hit his head!”
“Go back and think about it. Are you going to stick together with that pack of rogues, or do you want to join the Army? This is your own life, you choose by yourself!” Su Mian returned back to her room after finishing.
Su Mian only came out of her room when Su Jiang Hai returned that night and they all ate dinner together.
It was strangely quiet on the table. Even Su Jin Long, who could always find a topic to talk about, had a depressed expression as he picked up his rice. Su Jiang Hai could not endure the atmosphere, “What happened today? Why is everyone acting so quiet?”
Su Jin Long was afraid that Su Mian would tell on him. He quickly placed some meat in his father’s bowl, “Father, it’s nothing. You have worked hard for the day and we thought to let you enjoy a peaceful meal!”
“Is that so?” Su Jiang Hai clearly did not believe it.
“Of course. But Father, I want to tell you first.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“When I become 18, I will go join the Army. In the next few years after I graduate from junior high, I want to help you with making furniture,” Su Jin Long had already thought it through. What his sister told him was right. He must stop mixing with his cousin and the rest. He had to have his own life goals.
Su Jiang Hai became happy after hearing that, “What’s going on with you. Your father can still work well. If you want to go play with others, you can just go.”
Su Jin Long was afraid that his father would say that. He hurriedly slammed his chopsticks onto the table, “Father, doesn’t Sister need money after passing the college entrance exams? I’ll help you earn money for her tuition!” He stole a look at Su Mian after finishing.
Su Mian did not say anything and continued eating. She knew that Su Jin Long had thought of things clearly, but it was not enough. If there was another chance, she would use it to provoke him more.
“Your feelings are enough. Your father has just gotten a few more orders a while ago. This twelfth lunar month, I will be busy,” Su Jiang Hai was in a good mood. Moreover, he was quite tired these few days, so he ate more.
Hearing this, He Qin frowned, “Dear, you must take care of your body, especially your poor lower back. Don’t let it worsen because of the cold.”
Su Jiang Hai’s lower back was unwell. In his youth, he went up the mountain to mine and slept on a big rock when he was tired. That was the cause of this back problem. At that time, he took some Chinese medicine and was fine after, but it would act up when the weather got cold.
How great would it be if I could treat my father!
“You can, you know? All you need is to learn the Pulse Diagnosis skill. However, you need 30 kindness points, and your spiritual energy must reach 30 points. You don’t have enough of either right now!”
