Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

However, the deep-seated concept of the Su family is as intricate and complex as the ancient roots buried deep underground. These roots have gone through countless cycles of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and have endured the ruthless erosion and erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow. The vicissitudes of the long years have left deep or shallow, crisscrossing marks on their rough and tough surfaces.

Even though time flies by, this family lintel concept is like a towering mountain, always as solid as a rock, and can hardly be shaken by the wind and rain. It is not just an ordinary concept, but has long been deeply rooted in the bottom of the soul of everyone in the Su family, quietly integrated into every cell of their body, as if it has existed since birth, and has become an indispensable and inseparable part of their lives.

It is precisely because of this deep-rooted thought that the Su family members are always unconsciously influenced by it when facing everything in the world and dealing with complicated problems. Whether it is dealing with people or weighing the pros and cons, the family lintel concept will be like an invisible big hand, manipulating their thinking patterns and behaviors behind the scenes.

The power contained in this concept of lintel is like a surging tide, far beyond people's imagination of the importance of traditional family status. It is not just a superficial concern for family status and reputation, but is deeply rooted in people's hearts and becomes an almost instinctive cognition and obsession. This obsession is like a poisonous sting implanted in the bone marrow, which is difficult to remove no matter how hard you try; it is also like an invisible but extremely tough net that tightly entangles people, making it impossible for them to break free and escape the emotional bondage.

In the eyes of the Su family, wealth and poverty are like a huge, deep and ruthless chasm that separates them. This chasm is so wide that it seems to extend to the end of the boundless sky; its depth is beyond imagination, like a bottomless dark abyss that makes people afraid. The gap between the two is so big that it is difficult to cross. It is precisely because of this extreme concept of the gap between the rich and the poor that the Su family often has an extreme prejudice and discrimination against those who are in poverty.

In their inherent thinking, the poor seemed to be destined to be inferior to others from the moment they were born, and were not worthy of any kind of interaction with rich people like them. This deep-rooted prejudice made the Su family always treat the poor with a condescending and arrogant attitude.

However, at this critical moment when the atmosphere was so tense that it almost froze, Grandma Su Meng, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, suddenly made a surprising move. Without warning, she stretched out her slightly dry hands that had gone through the vicissitudes of life, and quickly grabbed Su Meng's white and slender arm like a scallion! In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on this old lady.

Looking at Grandma Su Meng again at this time, I saw that her face, which was eroded by the wind and frost and covered with deep and shallow wrinkles like ravines, was slowly showing an extremely painful expression. Those deep wrinkles seemed to tell of the countless hardships she had experienced, and this painful expression at this moment made people feel even more pity.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she spoke with difficulty in a slightly hoarse voice: "Oh, my darling granddaughter, grandma feels very stuffy in her chest right now, as if a thousand-pound stone is pressing on my heart. It's so uncomfortable! Dear granddaughter, please accompany grandma back to the house and help grandma gently rub her chest. Maybe this will make grandma feel a little more comfortable. As for this young man named Chunming..." Having said this, Grandma Su Meng paused for a moment, then glanced coldly at Chunming who was standing not far away, then slowly shook her head and didn't say anything else.

When she said this, grandma slowly raised her head and leaned back slightly. Her eyes, which originally looked cloudy, were like two cold rays of light, shooting straight at Chunming who was standing beside her. Being stared at by grandma's sharp eyes, Chunming became nervous instantly. His face turned red and a layer of fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Chunming's hands unconsciously grasped the corners of his clothes tightly, rubbing them back and forth, as if this could relieve some of his inner anxiety and uneasiness. His feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he dared not move a step. He just lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at his grandmother at all. He didn't know how to face this sudden and helpless situation.

However, after glancing at him calmly, grandma quickly withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened. Then, grandma once again focused all her attention on Su Meng, as if she didn't care about Chunming's performance at all.

Grandma's wrinkled face revealed an unquestionable look, and she continued in a decisive tone: "Let him go home first and stop wasting time here. Our family can't afford such trouble! What if those neighbors see us? Who knows how they will make up stories and gossip about us behind our backs! By then, our family will become the laughing stock of their conversations!" As grandma spoke, she sighed heavily, as if she felt helpless and worried about the situation.

Before she could finish her words, grandma stretched out a hand as fast as lightning, and that hand tightly grasped Su Meng's slender arm like a pair of pliers. The strength of grandma's hand was so great that people couldn't help but wonder if she had concentrated all her strength on this hand, as if if she let go, Su Meng would fly away like a bird and she would never be able to catch her again.
