Chapter 100 Aunt Cai's Reassurance
Upon hearing this, Sun Da stood up, stared at Su Yunhe, and said coldly:
"Don't push your luck. If you insist on doing this, I'll have people guarding you all day long and tie you up. Then you won't even be able to kill yourself!"
Su Yunhe looked up and met Sun Da's eyes, knowing that Sun Da meant what he said. Going against him now would be pointless; she could only hold back for the time being.
It's not too late to act when he lowers his guard. If we can take Sun Da away, that would be even better, so we don't have to keep him around to harm other women.
Thinking this, Su Yunhe lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing that Su Yunhe's earlier imposing manner had vanished, Sun Da patted Su Yunhe on the shoulder.
"Think it over carefully, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he slammed the door and left.
Old Su's family waited until the afternoon but their daughter didn't return home. Granny Liu and Old Man Su were very worried. After discussing it, the old couple decided to send Su Congxian with them to Aunt Cai's house to inquire about the situation.
When the three arrived at Aunt Cai's house, it was already evening. Aunt Cai's family was having dinner in the yard. When they saw Granny Liu enter the yard, Aunt Cai was so frightened that she choked and almost couldn't catch her breath. She choked to death on the black steamed bun in her hand.
"Oh dear, Aunt Cai, why don't you eat a little slower?"
Aunt Cai finally managed to drink a large glass of water and swallow the piece of steamed bun before she coughed and said:
"Ahem, Granny Liu, what brings you here?"
Granny Liu sat down on a stool in the yard, slapped her thigh, and said:
"I've come today to ask you about my daughter. Last time, General Sun took my daughter back home, but no one from our family went. We still don't know where General Sun is living."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai chuckled and said:
"Sun Da, of course he lives in Sun Family Village, where else could he be?"
Granny Liu sighed.
“My daughter is something else. Today is the third day after her parents' wedding, and she doesn’t even know to come home to visit. It’s making her dad and me feel so uneasy.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai rolled her eyes and chuckled dryly a few times.
"Haha, you old woman, you can't bear to part with your daughter after only three days of marriage? Why don't you go and bring her back today, and just cancel the marriage with the Sun family altogether, and return the betrothal gifts!"
When Granny Liu heard Aunt Cai mention the bride price offered by the Sun family, her eyes widened immediately.
“Aunt Cai, what are you saying? I’m just a mother who misses her daughter. Besides, how can we bring a newly married daughter home? Wouldn’t that make us a laughing stock?”
Aunt Cai poured tea for Granny Liu and the others, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry about those useless things. Your daughter is living a good life in Sunjia Village. What kind of family is the Sun family? Would they ever let your daughter go hungry or cold?"
As she spoke, Aunt Cai sat down and took Granny Liu's hand to comfort her:
“The Sun family has many businesses, and your son-in-law, Sun Da, is a businessman. There’s no guarantee that there won’t be any busy businesses in the family that keep him away. As his mother-in-law, you shouldn’t complain. Making money is the most important thing.”
After hearing Aunt Cai's words, Granny Liu felt a little more at ease.
"I was just feeling uncertain, so I came to talk to you and ask around. Now that I hear what you say, I feel relieved. As a mother, how could I possibly find fault with my daughter? If she's always busy coming back, her father and I will go to her in-laws' house to get acquainted with them."
Aunt Cai frowned upon hearing this, then smiled and said:
“Oh dear, you old woman are really confused. If you truly love your daughter, don’t rush to meet her in-laws. This is a crucial time for the new bride in her husband’s family. If you go there in a hurry, who knows what the Sun family might think.”
As Aunt Cai spoke, she poured more tea for Granny Liu.
"Let's not talk about anything else. You also have a son. If your daughter-in-law had only been married for a few days, and your in-laws were already eager to come and see their daughter, how would you feel?"
Granny Liu lowered her head and took a big gulp of tea, smacking her lips.
"Yes, Aunt Cai, you are very thoughtful. It's really not a good idea for me to go now. Let's wait a little longer."
After saying this, Granny Liu put down her teacup, stood up, and said goodbye to Aunt Cai.
"Aunt Cai, talking to you for a while has made me feel much better. I'm sorry to have kept you from having dinner so late. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
Seeing this, Aunt Cai quickly stood up and smiled:
"Look at you, coming all this way just to say a few words to me, what's the point? I know your daughter got married, and all of a sudden you're feeling uneasy. Now that you've seen me, just relax, your daughter is living a good life in the Sun family!"
Granny Liu nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, my daughter has been blessed since she was little. Now that she has met such a benefactor as you, it is very good that she has found a husband. We will be going now, you should eat your meal."
Aunt Cai followed Granny Liu outside the door before speaking:
"Oh, aren't you staying for dinner?"
Granny Liu naturally knew that Aunt Cai's invitation wasn't sincere, and she certainly wasn't short of a meal, so she waved her hand and said:
"No, no, you should go back now, don't see me off."
After saying that, he took Su Congxian and Old Man Su home.
Old Man Su had been holding a grudge ever since Granny Liu accepted the betrothal gifts and let General Sun take his daughter away. Now, on the three-day homecoming day, his daughter hadn't come home even once, making him even more upset.
For some reason, he had a feeling that he might never see his daughter again in this lifetime, so the old man Su spoke up:
“Old woman, I don’t think this is right. No matter how busy the Sun family is, they should at least know some manners. If they can’t go back to their parents’ home today, they should at least send someone to send a message back, so we don’t have to worry about them so much.”
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu turned around and glared at Old Su.
"You're such a busybody! Our daughter has only been married for a few days and hasn't even settled into her husband's family yet. Even if she's going to pretend, she should at least act sensible for a few days. You, as her father, shouldn't be picking on her!"
Old Su swallowed hard, paused for a long while, and then mustered up his courage to speak:
"How about I go see our daughter tomorrow? I can't help but worry about her."
Seeing Old Man Su's effeminate manner, Granny Liu became furious and slapped him hard on the back, cursing impatiently:
"You're just showing how much you care about our daughter. As her mother, I'm just as worried as you are. Didn't you hear what Aunt Cai said? Going to the Sun family now is just causing trouble for our daughter. Tomorrow, you'd better go to work in the fields and stop worrying about other things!"
