Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
Her parents-in-law and sister-in-law werenât at home. Only Jinfeng was there, looking after her younger brother Jindan. The siblings hadnât dared to leave the house for the past few days. Every time they went out, they were beaten up. The friends who used to play with the two of them ignored them and could only hide at home in the end. When they were hungry, they ate leftover steamed buns. When they were thirsty, they drank cold water.
When Su Xuefang returned, the two of them were hugging Su Xuefangâs thighs and cried loudly.
âArenât your parents-in-law taking care of them? What happened? Your parents-in-law were also arrested?â
âTheyâŠwerenât.â Su Xuefang lowered her head guiltily.
She Imew that her parents did not have a good relationship with her in-laws and did not like each other. They were all arrested when something happened at home, but her in-laws went to her Big brotherâs house to help take care of them and ignored Jinfeng and Jindan.
However, she believed that her in-laws must have had their reasons. They had treated her so well over the years. Jinfeng and Jindan were their grandchildren. How could they not care?
âThen why did you leave the two children at home? And what about your sister-in-law? Usually, when she coaxed you to ask for things, wasnât she very attentive?â
âThey must have been delayed by something. I believe they didnât do it on purpose.â
At this time, Su Xuefang was still like a lost soul, irritating Ma Xiulan and she gritted her teeth.
âAlright, letâs get the kids something to eat first.â
âOkay!â
The two quickly prepared some food. Since Su Dachun was waiting outside and refused to come in, Ma Xiulan couldnât let the old man wait outside for too long. While she was busy, she advised her with concern, âYour father doesnât even want to enter your house now.â
âMy father is biased.â Su Xuefang didnât even dare to let out a fart in front of Su Dachun. Now, she angrily criticized him behind his back, âHeâs never been nice to me since I was young. Now that my husband has been arrested, heâll
definitely despise me even more.â âItâs good that you know.â
âIâm not convinced. Mom, help me.â
âHow do you want me to help you?â
Su Xuefang didnât feel embarrassed at all. She reached out her hand directly.
âLend me some money. I canât live on anymore. Tian Yong was also arrested. What if he canât be released and Iâll need to take care of the two children alone?â
âDo you regret it now?â
âIâm not regretting anything. I just hate it. Itâs all Su Wenâs fault. She canât bear to see me doing well and caused my familyâs downfall.â
âHow much do you need?â Ma Xiulan asked straightforwardly.
She had long known what kind of person her daughter was. Every time she asked for money over the years, not a single penny had been repaid.
âWhat did you say? Say that again?â Ma Xiulan thought that she had misheard. âYouâre asking me for 100 yuan. Where do you have the face? Even if I took out my retirement savings, I wouldnât have it.â
âMom, Iâm not asking you to give it to me. I want you to ask Su Wen for it.â âAre you saying that Su Wen has money? Where did she get the money?â
âYou donât know. Su Wen is rich now.â Su Xuefangâs eyes reddened with excitement. She explained everything she had heard and her own speculations to Ma Xiulan. Even Ma Xiulan, who hated Su Wen, was stunned.
âYouâre saying she has two bicycles? A sewing machine?â Ma Xiulan asked incredulously, her hands trembling.
âThatâs right. Think about it. Isnât she rich now?â
âFine, I got it.â
Ma Xiulanâs puffy eyes flashed with a hint of scheming, and she quickly came up with a plan. At that moment, she didnât say much more to Su Xuefang and hurriedly left with Su Dachun to return to Trinity village..
