The Su family.
Su Yuan left by carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao went to the small forest behind the kitchen to sharpen her knife.
The sunset shone through the bamboo leaves, slanting over her head.
When Su Yuniang walked over while holding her baby girl who was just over a month old, she saw the small figure busy sharpening the knife.
This girl had indeed lost quite a bit of weight.
Su Yuniang sighed and sat down on a small bench beside Su Xiaoxiao.
“Did you just get lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat?”
Su Xiaoxiao: “Huh?”
Su Yuniang: “The medicine you gave to that old master, how could you dare to use it so boldly? Are you not afraid that something might go wrong?”
Su Xiaoxiao continued sharpening her knife, “But nothing went wrong, right?”
The little baby in Su Yuniang’s arms let out a sigh, and Su Yuniang picked her up, gently patted her back, and helped her burp.
Su Yuniang said, “I will go to the county government tomorrow to move my household registration out.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How much did you give to the Old Su family?”
Without any benefit, the Old Su family would never let Su Yuniang go.
Su Yuniang kissed her daughter’s small forehead and said, “Two hundred taels.”
Thud!
Su Xiaoxiao slammed her knife onto the cutting board!
Su Yuniang calmly said, “Don’t worry, I will make them spit it back out.”
……
In the alley between Liu Shan’s and the Su family’s houses, Su Jinniang’s face was pale, and her fingers clenched tighter and tighter.
It wasn’t until Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yuniang entered the kitchen and closed the back door that she quickly ran back to her own home.
“Grandpa!”
Old Mr. Su was checking accounts with Su Can in the hall. Su Can always made mistakes, not as good as Su Erlang.
Old Mr. Su glanced at Su Jinniang, who looked flustered, and asked, “Where did you run off to this time? Who told you to wander around all day? You’re going to get married soon, so just stay at home!”
Su Jinniang lowered her eyes and said, “I…… I just went to see my older sister, and heard her tell Su Pangya that…… she wants to take our money back.”
Su Can stood up and said, “What?”
Su Jinniang whispered, “My older sister said that our family is unkind, so don’t blame her for being ruthless. Tomorrow, when she moves her household registration to the county government, she will tell everyone that the jade pendants we sold back then were stolen from the Su family, and the jade pendant that Su Pangya has is the proof, as it was originally a pair.”
Su Can roared in anger, “When did we ever steal their jade pendants? That is our family heirlooms! That shameless b*tch! Let’s see how I deal with her!”
He rolled up his sleeves, turned around and walked out, only to be surprised to find that no one was following him.
The entire hall was silent. Aside from Su Can, Old Mr. Su, Su Erlang, and Su Jinniang all remained still.
Old Mr. Su knew the truth, while Su Erlang and Su Jinniang guessed the truth back then.
Su Jinniang looked at Old Mr. Su’s reaction and realized that her suspicions were correct.
How could it be like this?
Obviously, she was better than Su Pangya in everything, so why had Su Pangya repeatedly bested her? And now, even the jade pendants had become hers!
This was unfair!
“Father?” Su Can looked at Old Mr. Su in shock, “It… it can’t be……”
“What happened?”
Su Dalang returned home with water buckets and immediately sensed the tense atmosphere. He quickly put the buckets down.
Old Mr. Su said, “Jinniang, you go back to your room first.”
In the Old Su family, women were not allowed to be present during men’s discussions.
“Yes, grandpa.” Su Jinniang muttered as she retreated to her room.
Although she entered her room, she pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop.
Su Can swallowed nervously and asked Old Mr. Su, “Father, is what Jinniang said true……”
Su Erlang frowned and interrupted, “Father, now is not the time to argue about this. The most pressing matter is to ensure they don’t turn the villagers against us! Grandpa, we can’t just sit idly by!”
