Chapter 61 The Lin Family Ran Away
When Granny Liu saw that Lin had made a mistake herself but still insisted on dragging Su Congxian into it, her anger could no longer be contained.
"You've corrupted my son, you slut! I'll teach you to talk nonsense, I'll teach you to cry and wail! I'll beat you to death today, you jinx!"
Su Banxia, who was leaning against the door watching the show, sighed speechlessly. It seemed that Granny Liu really had run out of new words to use when cursing. Wasn't this the same set of insults she used to curse herself every day? So the whole Su family was a jinx and Granny Liu was the only lucky one?
Just as Su Banxia was silently grumbling to herself, she saw Lin suddenly grab the broom handle from Liu Pozi's hand and cry out:
"Enough, you old hag! If you're so capable, go and discipline your son. It's none of your business to discipline me. Since the Su family can't tolerate me, I'm leaving now! That way, I can make room for you!"
Qin, who had been feeling depressed, felt much better when she heard that the third wife's pregnancy was a lie. She had held a grudge against Lin for coming to laugh at her when she was in trouble.
Now that she finally had a chance to mock the Lin family, she naturally couldn't miss it.
She didn't even bother cooking; she rushed to the door of the third room and shouted at the top of her lungs:
“Mrs. Lin, you were in the wrong in this matter. Your mother-in-law said a few words to you, and you started to throw a tantrum. Tell me how much effort we’ve put into serving you these past few days. We don’t even know how much money we’ve spent to help your third branch of the family!”
As she spoke, Madam Qin reluctantly pouted.
Hearing this, Lin became even angrier. She didn't even bother packing her bags, and shoved aside Su Banxia and Qin, who were blocking the doorway, cursing as she said, "
"Your Su family is all bad. All you do is watch the show when something goes wrong. I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay?"
As he spoke, he turned back and glared at Madam Qin, cursing:
"If you're so capable, get pregnant yourself. Don't be unable to conceive and then make your man find a slut outside to give the Su family a son!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin was furious and pointed at Madam Lin's retreating figure, cursing:
"You jinx, you should have left long ago! It's all because of you, you troublemaker, that the Su family has no good days!"
As Lin stormed out, she turned back and cursed:
"Mind your own business. You call yourself the Su family? Are you even a member of the Su family? Once that slut gives birth to a boy, the Su family might kick you out of the family tree!"
After shouting those words, Lin strode away without looking back.
Seeing his wife run away, Su Congxian, who was hiding behind the woodpile, panicked and rushed out from behind the woodpile to chase after her.
Seeing this, Granny Liu pointed at Su Congxian's retreating figure and cursed:
"Third brother, you come back here right now! If she wants to leave, let her leave. Our Su family doesn't need another daughter-in-law like her. If you dare to go after her, see how I deal with you!"
After saying that, Granny Liu threw the broom on the ground and turned to go into her house.
Seeing that his mother was indeed angry, Su Congxian didn't dare to go out and chase after Lin Shi. He could only let her go back to her parents' home for a few days, and then go and bring Lin Shi back to apologize to Granny Liu after Granny Liu's anger subsided. Then the matter would be over.
Thinking this, Su Congxian slunk into the house.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be seen, Su Banxia returned to her room to rest.
The next day,
Thinking that she needed to go to the village head early today to discuss hiring workers, Su Banxia got up early, tidied herself up, and made dumpling soup and egg pancakes.
After the family finished eating, Su Shiyan and Wang Guihua went to work on Aizi Mountain, while Su Hanzhang and Su Banxia went to the village head with gifts.
Su Banxia had prepared some flour and several fresh fish for this trip. As soon as the two entered, Aunt Ning hurriedly put down her work to help Su Banxia take the things.
Looking at what she was holding, Aunt Ning, who was usually stern and rarely smiled, now had a bright and cheerful smile on her face.
"Oh dear, Banxia, you always bring so much stuff every time you come to visit your uncle. You're not allowed to bring anything over anymore!"
Su Banxia smiled at Aunt Ning, secretly thinking to herself, "If I didn't bring something with me, you probably wouldn't even let me into your house."
Here, Zheng is definitely an honest and reliable person; otherwise, Sujia Village wouldn't always have him working as their caretaker.
But the head of the village, Aunt Ning, is a classic example of karma; she's a money-grubber. Anyone who comes empty-handed to the village head for favors is treated with contempt and disdain.
If someone brings gifts to your door, she will definitely serve you tea and water, with a smile on her face.
Su Banxia naturally understood the social etiquette involved. Although the person said they didn't care about such a small thing, it didn't seem right for you to ask for a favor with nothing in return.
If someone helps you once or twice, but you always go empty-handed, it will be difficult to get their help again in the future.
Therefore, Su Banxia was never stingy with these things when asking people for favors.
Hearing his wife's shouts, the village head rushed out of the house. Seeing that his second son's family had brought so many things again, he immediately said with a serious expression:
"You lot, just say what you need to say. Why are you bringing so much stuff? I know your family, you second branch. Where would you get the extra money to buy all this stuff? Hurry up and take it back!"
Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly explained with a smile:
“Uncle Village Head, these didn’t cost much. I caught the fish myself from the river, and I got this from Old Su’s family. Please don’t refuse. They’re nothing valuable.”
Aunt Ning, who was standing to the side, smiled and said upon hearing this:
"That's right, these are all Banxia's heartfelt wishes. Look at you, always with that stern face trying to scare people."
As she spoke, Aunt Ning put the things she was holding into the basin.
"Banxia, I'll reluctantly accept this from you since you brought it all this way, but don't bring so much stuff next time!"
Su Banxia smiled and nodded at Aunt Ning, then looked at the village head and said:
"Uncle Village Head, my father and I have come to discuss with you today the matter of building a house."
The village head beckoned to the two men, gesturing for them to sit down and speak.
Seeing that the items were safe, Aunt Ning, who was standing nearby, happily went inside to make tea for the three of them.
"Hanzhang, building a house is quite an expense these days. Do you have the money?"
The village head glanced at Su Hanzhang and spoke.
Su Hanzhang scratched his head and laughed:
"We don't need to worry about money. Banxia has a skill; she can catch some wild animals in the mountains and sell them in the city to get some money."
Upon hearing this, the village head looked at Su Banxia in surprise.
"Banxia, after all these years, I really didn't know you had such abilities."
Su Banxia smiled.
“We farmers are born with these skills, it’s not a difficult thing for us. Today my father and I came here to ask the village head to help us find some capable and reliable people to build a house for us.”
