Chapter 65 Brother and sister quarrel
The sunlight shines through the window lattice and softly falls into Su Qing's bedroom. Every ray of warm light seems to be whispering, bringing endless hope for the new day.
Su Qing rubbed her sleepy eyes, jumped out of bed, her heart filled with determination and expectation.
There was a knock on the door just now. She opened it and it was her eldest brother Su Yu. He came in without saying a word, but just sat on the wooden sofa by the wall. He looked depressed, with worry clouds between his brows.
"What, you want to sell the truck and marry into Li Meihua's family so that you can take care of your blind future father-in-law?" Although this was a decision Su Yu had made in his previous life, Su Yu's situation has just improved in this life. Su Qing was unwilling to bring it up now.
Her heart was filled with worries, as she didn't want her brother to repeat the mistakes of his previous life, a road of no return filled with regrets and self-sacrifice.
"Brother, are you really determined to do this?" Su Qing asked softly, her eyes full of worry and concern.
Su Yu sighed and said tiredly: "I just want to be filial. I know this will sacrifice my career, but I don't regret it."
Su Qing held Su Yu's hand and said firmly: "Brother, I know you are doing this out of filial piety, but you should know that your future should not be sacrificed like this. I will find a way to make our whole family live a good life."
Su Yu looked at Su Qing, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, "Big sister, can you really do it?"
Just then, the sound of the door opening interrupted their conversation.
Standing outside the door was Lu Xingchen. He was wearing a simple white shirt, with an upright posture and a firm look between his brows.
"You're back?" Su Qing was a little surprised that Lu Xingchen came home early.
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, "I came back to get something, and heard you and big brother arguing fiercely, so I came in to take a look."
Lu Xingchen entered the house and the three of them sat in the living room.
Amid the quarrel between Su Qing and Su Yu, Lu Xingchen frowned. He listened quietly and then spoke slowly, "You two, don't let other things affect your brother-sister relationship. What's the point of quarreling like this?" His voice was calm and powerful, and he successfully calmed the two of them down.
Su Qing and Su Yu looked at each other, then turned to look at Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and thoughtfully recounted his childhood memories. "My mother died when I was young. My father was carrying out a secret operation and had to place me in an orphanage. I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. I remember that time, I was still very young. That fire was deeply engraved in my mind. The scar on my wrist reminds me all the time."
He stretched out his left hand, showing a scar on his wrist, which seemed to contain endless thoughts. "That night, the orphanage caught fire. I panicked and looked around for a way to escape. Just when I was desperate, my mother saved me."
"Since then, I have been adopted. I am very grateful to my adoptive father. Although he has concealed my life experience, I guess he has no ill intentions and must have his own difficulties."
Lu Xingchen's eyes became deep, "I understand. Cherish your loved ones because they may leave at any time. Su Qing, Su Yu, you are siblings, blood is thicker than water, don't forget the affection between you because of a momentary impulse."
Su Qing and Su Yu were deeply moved by Lu Xingchen's words, and tears flashed in their eyes.
Su Qing held Lu Xingchen's hand tightly, her voice trembling a little, "I'm sorry for reminding you of the sad past."
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, but the complex emotions in his heart were difficult to express.
He knew that the mystery of his life might be more complicated than he imagined.
Why did Li Tiejun hide his background?
This question, like a seed, was deeply buried in his heart.
Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment, "Su Qing, I know you want to change the fate of your family, but changing fate is not something that can be done overnight. We need a plan, a plan that can make your family prosperous together."
A gleam flashed in Su Qing's eyes, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Lu Xingchen took out a drawing with a plan of a silk production base on it. "Uncle Ding, the expert I left behind last time, has been studying silk processing technology recently and has made a practical breakthrough.
If we can build a silk production base and utilize the silk resources of our production team, I believe we can significantly increase the output of silk products."
Su Qing's eyes lit up. She had known for a long time that this was an opportunity to change her destiny.
In the next few days, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen were busy together. They consulted with the villagers, raised funds, and planned the base.
"Sister, it's bad. Something happened in Li Meihua's house. Uncle Li fell and was seriously injured. My eldest brother rushed over like crazy." Su Yao ran over to report the news, and Su Qing's face suddenly became solemn.
Su Qing's heart tightened, and she immediately stood up, "Let's go, we have to go and take a look."
Lu Xingchen drove the newly bought bicycle and Su Qing sat on the back seat. The two hurried to Li Meihua's house. When they opened the door, they saw the anxious faces of Li Meihua and Li's father.
"Uncle Li's condition is very bad and he needs to be sent to the hospital immediately." Su Qing made a judgment.
Without further ado, everyone rushed Mr. Li to the hospital. Along the way, Su Qing held Lu Xingchen's hand tightly, her heart filled with worry.
When they arrived at the county people's hospital, the doctor conducted a detailed examination and told them: "Uncle Li's injuries are serious and he needs surgery immediately."
"Doctor, please save him no matter what." Li Meihua held the doctor's hand and begged.
The operation lasted for several hours, and finally, Mr. Li's condition was under control.
When everyone saw Mr. Li coming out of the operating room safely, their hearts were filled with relief and joy.
Li Meihua looked at everyone gratefully, "Su Qing, Xingchen, thank you. Without you, my father might have..."
Su Qing held Li Meihua's hand and said, "Sister Meihua, we will soon be a family. This is what we should do. You don't have to be so reserved."
In the following days, Su Yu stayed in the hospital to help Li Meihua take care of Li's father, just as Li Meihua had taken care of him some time ago.
The construction of the silk production base is also progressing smoothly. The silk output has increased significantly and the living standards of the villagers have also improved.
They began to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and laughter and cheerful singing echoed in the village.
In this process, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen supported each other, faced life difficulties and challenges together, and shared the joy of success together.
Su Qing knew that after her rebirth, she would no longer fight alone, she had Lu Xingchen as her solid backing.
Lu Xingchen's companionship and support gave her the courage and strength to pursue a better life.
And Lu Xingchen also found the long-lost warmth and sense of belonging in Su Qing.
He once walked alone on the road of life, but now he has found someone who is willing to walk with him.
