Kang Ren Ci's wife was not willing to give up and asked a few questions. As a result, the other party directly pointed at her nose and scolded, "Don't you know what shameful things you've done in your own home? Do you expect others to tell you?"
With those words, Kang Ren Ci's wife's face turned red with shame.
Kang Ren Ci's daughter, having been jilted for no reason, was extremely ashamed and angry, hiding in her room and crying incessantly.
The family could not carry on with their lives this year.
They began to blame the Su family.
They felt that the Su family had gone too far, and if the Su family hadn't been so absolute and left no room for sentiment, would things have turned out this way?
Yet, they never considered that if this matter had only been the misdeeds of Kang Ren De alone, and they had not assisted him, how could that young widow have entered their home?
If the young widow had not entered their home and, relying on Kang Ren De's affection, bullied Su Man Xiang, how could this series of events have occurred?
Despite the troubles that befell the Kang family, there was not a single person who sympathized with them.
Almost everyone said that the Kang family was unethical and had brought it upon themselves.
Some people were even busy telling their relatives and friends about the Kang family's various sordid affairs.
At this point, the Kang family truly became like rats crossing the street.
The two Kang brothers were infuriated.
Kang Ren De was the one who committed the sordid deeds; why should they and their families bear the blame for him?
At this moment, the two brothers had forgotten that although Kang Ren De was not good, if they had not harbored intentions of deception, and had instead decisively handled the burial from the beginning, the Su family would never have discovered the matter of the young widow.
After all, when the elder Su family members came, they would at most look at their own daughter's remains and would not pay attention to unrelated people.
At this time, although the two families were annoyed, with the job as a consolation, they still had the motivation to properly handle the funeral of Kang Ren De's family.
Kang Ren Xian and Kang Ren Ci, the two brothers, had originally planned that after the funeral, Kang Ren Xian's eldest son would take over the job of their third uncle, Kang Ren De.
And Kang Ren Xian's family would not get this lucrative position for free; they had to subsidize the second brother, Kang Ren Ci, with one hundred and fifty yuan.
Both families were waiting for things to settle down, but then they heard the bad news.
After the person was buried, Kang Ren Xian took his son to the supply and marketing cooperative to request the job.
However, the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative flatly refused.
"Director, this won't do. My third brother's job should go to his nephew," Kang Ren Xian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the supply and marketing cooperative leader.
"Job? The commune has made arrangements. Kang Ren De's moral corruption, if he were alive, he should have been sent to the mines, and he would definitely have been expelled."
The leader of the supply and marketing cooperative was a relatively upright person and had no good feelings towards the Kang family's actions.
"But he's dead!"
"So what if he's dead?" The director of the supply and marketing cooperative looked at him coldly.
If it weren't for this shameless affair caused by this family, his nephew would not have had the opportunity to be arranged here.
After half a day, Kang Ren Xian finally accepted reality.
This job was gone, lost!
When the Kang family heard that the director of the supply and marketing cooperative's nephew had come to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, they began to speculate that the supply and marketing cooperative had embezzled this job position.
They even caused trouble for several days because of this, and they didn't spare the commune.
However, the supply and marketing cooperative had the commune's dismissal document for Kang Ren De, which was enough to prove that Kang Ren De had already been expelled and there was no question of succession.
The two families of the old Kang family caused trouble for several days, and in the end, they were left humiliated and with nothing.
What was this?
Money was spent, but the job was not obtained?
This was a silent loss.
But both families were calculating; how could they be content after suffering a loss this time?
The two brothers and their wives began to quarrel incessantly, haggling over every cent and dime from when they handled the funeral.
They even fought over who had come up with the idea of finding the Su family to pay for things.
The two families fought like a chicken and a dog throughout the entire first lunar month, and in the end, the brothers turned against each other, not even speaking when they met.
But things had already come to this; no matter how fierce the arguments, the loss of the job was a fact.
At this time, the Kang family still hadn't realized that the impact of this matter on their Kang family was far from over.
For several years to come, the Kang family's sons couldn't find wives, and their daughters were unwanted.
Even if occasionally someone came to propose marriage, they were either disabled or crippled!
In short, no good family was willing to marry into the Kang family.
Of course, this is a story for later and will not be discussed for now.
Let's talk about the old Su family. The atmosphere had been very somber.
This low mood persisted until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
It was almost time for the Lantern Festival, and after the Lantern Festival, Su Tao Hua's family of three would return to the capital city with Shen Zi Zhen.
Accompanying them were also the three brothers Su Shou Wen.
The old Su family had to prepare luggage for the three brothers to go to the capital to study, as well as food and drink for the journey.
Grandma Su forced herself to get out of bed and helped her daughter-in-law prepare food and drink.
She made a lot of fried meatballs and fried oil cakes.
Fried foods could be stored for a long time and were best eaten on the train.
Grandma Su also specifically stir-fried meat sauce, put it in a canning jar, and planned to take it on the train to eat.
In addition, Grandma Su also specifically made some vegetable pancakes.
"They all like my leek pancakes, but it's not the season for leek pancakes, so I'll make some potato ones for them," Grandma Su mumbled incessantly.
Su Xiao Tian watched and felt a pang of sadness.
Grandma was trying to keep busy so she could forget about her aunt's matter.
But could she really forget?
In her previous life, Grandma had lost her eldest aunt, and in this life, she had lost her aunt...
Even though she had lived again and changed a lot, would some things eventually revert in another way?
She dared not think further; if everything was destined to return to its original trajectory, would her grandparents also pass away soon?
Su Xiao Tian was scared, and for the first time, her idea of changing everything began to waver.
The little girl sat on a small stool and communicated with the system Anna.
"Anna, can I really change the fate of those around me?"
"Everything that happens has its own patterns. There's a saying: 'All paths lead to Rome'!"
Su Xiao Tian's heart sank completely.
All paths lead to Rome, didn't that mean...
No, she didn't want that. She wanted her grandparents to live a few more years, to enjoy a few more years, and to see the good days that were about to come!
Suddenly, the little girl started crying.
When Grandma Su returned, she saw Su Xiao Tian crying uncontrollably.
"My dear, what's wrong? Why are you crying so much?" Grandma Su momentarily forgot her own sadness and hurried over to comfort Su Xiao Tian.
"Grandma, I don't want this, I don't want this, I want you all to be well!"
The little girl's words were jumbled, and Grandma Su didn't even understand what she wanted or didn't want.
Grandma Su, however, only thought that her own recent dejected appearance had frightened Su Xiao Tian, so she hugged her and comforted her.
"Grandma will be fine, my dear, don't be afraid. Grandma is just feeling sad in her heart, and she'll be better in a while!"
Su Xiao Tian, however, sobbed for a long time.
After crying, Su Xiao Tian was surprised to find that Grandma Su's condition seemed to have improved.
At the very least, she wasn't as listless as she had been in the past two days, and there was a spark in her eyes again.
Even Grandpa Su's condition seemed to have improved a lot.
Let alone Su Xiao Tian, even the other members of the old Su family didn't understand why the elderly couple had suddenly gotten better.
But everyone in the family speculated that it was because the elders didn't want their grandchildren to worry about them after going to the capital, so they forced themselves to smile.
