Moving Belongings

Su Shirong's eyes suddenly brightened, shining with a lasting brilliance. The young man rolled up his sleeves and nodded firmly, "Yes!"

Su Sanyun took the lead, rushing into the house first. He grabbed the beast-hide vest off Su Daqi and wrapped it tightly around himself, sneering, "Big brother, this vest belongs to my family. I'm taking it back now! Shirong, take out our family's sausages and dried goods!"

"Alright!" Su Shirong shouted, snatching the sausages and dried goods from Su Meixiang and Su Shimao, stuffing them into the sack on the ground.

"Hey, how dare you snatch the family's stuff? That's rebellion!" Su Daqi lunged to grab the vest back, but being old, he was no match for the young and strong Su Sanyun, who pushed him aside with a shove.

Su Sanyun wrapped the vest tighter around himself and said, "This is my vest, no one else can touch it!"

At that moment, Yuan Jie gave a signal, and Qing Mu, along with several servants from the Su family, rushed in. Qing Mu said to Su Sanyun, "Uncle Su San, whatever belongs to your family, just tell us. We'll help you carry it!"

Su Sanyun, seeing the help arrive, perked up and pointed inside the house: "That quilt, that pillow, and this brazier... that piece of cloth, and... all belong to our family!"

Qing Mu immediately directed the servants to move the items Su Sanyun pointed out. The Su family members saw that the usually timid and meek Su Sanyun was serious this time, really moving to take things away, and they immediately panicked.

Old Su father stomped his feet in anger, puffed his beard, and scolded, "Third son, how dare you touch your parents' belongings? I'll report you to the court for being unfilial and have you thrown in jail!"

Su Sanyun paused, looked up at Old Su father with a heart full of bitterness: "Father, these things originally belong to my family. I'm just taking back what's mine. I haven't touched your things at all. So, you want to report your own son and have him thrown in jail?"

"I'll report you, so what! You disobey your parents and deserve to be beaten and locked up!" Old Su father cursed angrily, "I'm going to Qingmiao City to report you now and have the officials deal with you!"

Old Su father said this, grabbed his coat and threw it over his shoulders, storming out in a huff.

Zhao Shi hurriedly said, "Third son, look, father is really angry. Stop this fuss, put the things down and quickly leave! Otherwise, if father really reports you, you won't be able to get away with it."

Su Sanyun looked at Old Su father's cold back, veins bulging on his forehead: "Report me! Let father report me! Even if he goes to the emperor's throne to report me, today I have to move my things back!"

Zhao Shi saw that this time Su Sanyun was truly determined!

Su Sanyun, his son, along with Qing Mu and several servants from the Su family, clearly outnumbered and outmatched the timid Su family members in strength.

Su Shimao had already slipped to a corner of the room pretending not to exist, Su Meixiang sat quietly without daring to speak, and Liu Ru and Tofu Beauty were even less reliable; seeing the situation was bad, they slipped away quietly.

With no one stopping them, they quickly moved Su Sanyun's belongings from inside the house to the courtyard.

Yuan Jie looked on, amazed at the sheer amount of stuff! These old Su family folks really wanted to empty Su Sanyun's house, didn't they!?

"There's more, Shirong, come with father to the kitchen!" Su Sanyun wiped his face and headed toward the kitchen with his son.

Even the young steward Yuan Jie was dumbfounded: he thought all the items were already out, but there were still more in the kitchen. The Su family really wasn't leaving any room for Su Sanyun. No wonder they had pushed him to the edge this time.
