Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Certain
Mrs. Tao left in a huff.
Behind her, Su Yunjin said, “Grandmother, by all means, call Grandpa back to make a scene! Today, you and Xiaofu, my younger cousin, have already caused enough of a spectacle for the entire village to enjoy. Make a scene one more time, Grandmother, and let our entire village come to the Su Family’s house to watch once more.”
After the commotion during the day, everyone in the village now knew about Mrs. Tao selling her second daughter and Su Xiaofu seducing men! The majority of the villagers spoke ill of Mrs. Tao and condemned Xiaofu for being shameless. If Mrs. Tao made a scene once more, nobody would blame Su Yunjin and her family for not helping Mrs. Tao harvest the millet; they were already separated from the family and had no obligation to help Mrs. Tao, especially after she had tried to sell her own daughter that very day. It would be perfectly understandable for them not to help her with the fields.
Mrs. Tao was trying to sell her daughter? Why on earth should anyone help her harvest the millet?
If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn’t be willing to either.
Mrs. Tao wasn’t foolish—she could clearly hear the meaning behind Su Yunjin’s words. Her footsteps faltered, and she nearly tripped.
Watching Mrs. Tao’s unsteady feet, Su Yunjin was certain that she wouldn’t call Grandpa back to make another scene after hearing her words.
With Mrs. Tao gone, Su Ningxiu, the second elder sister, and their mother, Mrs. Shen, looked at Su Yunjin with some concern, “Yunjin, do you think Grandmother might really call Grandpa back?”
“No, she won’t! Mother, Ningxiu, don’t worry. Grandmother definitely won’t call Grandpa back,” Su Yunjin said with confidence. Besides, even if Mrs. Tao did call Grandpa back, it wouldn’t matter. Su Yunjin had her own ways to handle it!
Winking at her mother and Ningxiu, Su Yunjin looked sly like a little fox, “Mother, Ningxiu, if Grandmother really calls Grandpa back, don’t be afraid! I’m here!”
If Mrs. Tao didn’t mind tarnishing her reputation further, then Su Yunjin didn’t mind making it worse.
Standing to the side, Su Xiaobao looked up at Su Yunjin. Recalling how his step-grandmother’s face had turned livid with anger because of his sister, his eyes shone with admiration, “Third Sister, you’re amazing!”
In the past, it had always been their step-grandmother bullying them, but now they weren’t afraid of her any longer. Mrs. Shen and Su Ningxiu looked at Su Yunjin and somehow believed she really had the means to deal with Mrs. Tao.
Su Yunjin had guessed right. After Mrs. Tao left, she indeed hadn’t called Grandpa back to make more trouble. As dusk approached, Su Yunjin’s father, Su Zhongshi, who hadn’t been seen all afternoon, returned home, not only arriving back but also bringing with him three fish.
Two big ones and a smaller one. Upon his return, Su Zhongshi called out cheerfully to Mrs. Shen, “Wife, come out quickly. I had some good luck today and caught some fish. Go and start a fire in the kitchen stove; we’re having fish for dinner tonight!”
Mrs. Shen came out of the house and immediately saw the three fish Su Zhongshi was carrying, “Husband, did you go fishing in the river again?”
Seeing the fish, Mrs. Shen too was delighted, her eyes brimming with joy.
“Our son-in-law and Yunjin are visiting, so I went to the river and caught a few fish!” Su Zhongshi doted on his daughter and knew that there wasn’t much meat at home. Fortunately, the village had many rivers, and if they wanted to eat meat, they could go fishing! Su Zhongshi had spent the whole afternoon fishing and had a not-so-small catch of three fish.
However, it was a pity they had no wine at home. If they did, Su Zhongshi would definitely have wanted to share a good drink with his son-in-law, Gu Ya.
