Su Shiming sighed helplessly. He understood that his predicament was not only because of the poverty of the villagers, but also because of the poverty of his own family and what his third brother had done some time ago.

Su Shiming continued to move forward and came to the third villager's residence. He knocked gently on the door, and a gentle middle-aged woman opened the door, her eyes full of sympathy. Su Shiming felt happy and his hope was rekindled.

"Hello aunt, I would like to borrow some money from you to support my brothers." Su Shiming expressed sincerely.

The woman nodded slightly and smiled: "Shi Ming! I'm so sorry, my family really doesn't have any money, you'd better go somewhere else!" After that, the door slammed shut.

Su Shiming's heart seemed to have been hit hard, and he felt waves of loss and despair. He leaned against the door and lowered his head sadly, tears blurring his eyes.

"Su Shiming, what's wrong with you?" A warm voice suddenly reached his ears.

Su Shiming raised his head and saw a middle-aged woman wearing simple and elegant clothes standing in front of him. Her face was gentle and her eyes were firm.

"Sixth Aunt, I..." Su Shiming looked at her without thinking.

"Shiming! I can see your confusion and helplessness. You are a good person, and you have worked hard for the future of your brothers.

But you will be dragged down by them. Aunt Six and the villagers have seen it all these years, so don't be so stupid.

From now on, don't worry about so many people in the old house, just focus on your wife and daughter! "Aunt Six said with distress as she looked at the tired and haggard man.

"Sixth Aunt, I also know your worries. This is the last time to help them."

"Hey! The news that you came to borrow money just now has spread throughout the village.

You also know that life in the village is so difficult, and even eating is a problem. How could I lend you so much money?

Aunt Six doesn’t have much money, and her total wealth is only two taels. If you need it urgently, use it first! "After that, he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Su Shiming.

Su Shiming took the two taels of silver, his eyes full of gratitude. Although the two taels of silver were not much, it gave him a lot of motivation. He held Sister Su's hands excitedly:

"Thank you, Aunt Six! I will return double the amount to you in the future."

Sister-in-law Su smiled and shook her head: "You're welcome, Shiming. You are a good child, and your hard work and kindness deserve help from others.

But don’t use it in the wrong place in the future. I believe you and Shuyao will have a better future. "

"Thank you Aunt Six. I will pay you back as soon as I have money. I will ask other relatives first to see if I can borrow more."

Su Shiming said goodbye to his sixth aunt and hurriedly walked to other villagers.

Seeing Su Shiming's anxiety, Aunt Six sighed and shook her head. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a strange voice in the room:

"Sixth sister-in-law! The family is so poor that it's almost too late to open the pot. Do you still have money to lend to Shiming? With their family in such a state now, will you be able to get it back by then?"

"Li Suihua, he helped our family back then, it's none of your business whether he can get it back or not?

What do other people’s affairs concern you? Isn’t it uncomfortable for you to say a few words without opening the door all day? Aunt Six said and closed the door hard, "Bang!" "A loud noise startled Li Suihua.

"Bah! Why is it so bad? I'm just asking a question, as if my husband is dead." Li Suihua finished speaking with an unconvinced look and hurried back to the house.

After Su Shiming left Aunt Six's house, he felt a little uncomfortable thinking about what Aunt Six had just said. He didn't know what Aunt Six had said, but he couldn't help it and was helpless.

He quickened his pace and left in a hurry, and then went to borrow money from one house after another, but since he borrowed two taels of silver, all of them were rejected.

All the villagers either closed the door or refused. When night began to fall, Su Shiming could only drag his heavy steps back to the thatched house in disgrace.

Returning to the door of the thatched house, I heard the laughter of my wife talking to Jun'er Yun'er, and my heart became softer unconsciously.

It is good to have a family who loves you. Every time you come back, there will be their laughter and laughter. No matter how late you come back, your wife will leave a light for you. This is your safe haven of happiness and your source of strength.

In order to prevent his wife and daughter from noticing, he tried hard to calm down his uncomfortable mood and put on a smile that was uglier than crying.

Dragging his exhausted body, he returned to the room and saw his beloved wife and two sensible daughters. Tears almost fell, but he held them back with all his strength.

Chen Shuyao is sitting in a thatched house room, accompanying her two lovely daughters.

Suddenly, she noticed that her husband-in-law looked very ugly, and she quickly asked with concern:

"Shiming, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Su Shiming looked at the concern of his beloved wife and daughters, and his eyes were so moved that his eyes turned red.

Is it really that obvious? He had tried very hard to hide it.

However, in order not to worry his wife and daughter, he did not plan to tell his family about going to the mountains. Su Shiming's voice trembled slightly:

"I suffered a little grievance from my parents today, and I've been in a bad mood." His voice was filled with endless grievance and helplessness, but it also revealed a hint of relief.

Su Youjun looked at his exhausted father and wondered how the people in the old house were torturing his father.

She and her sister had just returned from digging for medicinal materials. They hadn't been to the old house all day today and didn't know what happened.

It seems that if you want to know what happened, you can only wait until you go over to have dinner for a while. Now you can only wait and watch as he becomes less talkative.

Chen Shuyao took Su Shiming's hand distressedly and comforted her gently: "Shiming, don't be sad. We are a family. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together." Her eyes became moist, and she deeply felt Deeply understand Su Shiming's inner pain.

The two daughters also noticed their parents' emotions. They sat quietly aside and held their parents' hands tightly, as if silently supporting them.

"Dad, let's just ignore grandma. They don't care about our second wife's feelings anyway." Su Youjun comforted.

"Dad, eldest sister is right, we should ignore our grandparents." Su Youyun agreed.

"Okay! Dad listens to you and just ignores them." Su Shiming hugged his two daughters with wet eyes and wanted to cry.

But he knew he couldn't, because he was the backbone of the family, so how could he show his bad side to his family!

Su Shiming felt the warmth and selfless care of his family, and the pain in his heart gradually eased. He held Chen Shuyao's hand firmly, his eyes full of gratitude and love.

"Thank you. Your concern makes me feel that there is still a lot of warmth and love in the world." Su Shiming said with emotion. His voice betrays dependence on his family and confidence in the future.

Chen Shuyao smiled and said: "We are a family. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must support each other and face them together." Her tone was firm but gentle, full of understanding and comfort.

There were not many words in the conversation between the family members, but their looks and actions conveyed infinite love and understanding.

They spent this sad moment together in tacit understanding and laid a solid foundation for future unity and happiness.

The thatched house is filled with warmth and dependence among family members, and everyone's face is filled with a smile of trust and tolerance.

This small thatched house became a haven for their souls and the starting point for them to work together and enjoy life.

The family members sat together in silence, leaning on each other and chatting.

They understand that with each other's company and support, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they can overcome them together and welcome every day in the future.
