Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Refund
“Enough, stop causing a fuss!”
Left with no choice, pressured into a corner, Tao’s wife finally gritted her teeth and looked at the Huang butler as she agreed, “The money owed to Master Huang, I’ll return it to him. As for my granddaughter, can you release her now?”
“Impossible!” The Huang butler shoved Tao’s wife aside, his tone leaving absolutely no room for negotiation, “Our master wants the person, not the money! I am taking Su Xiaofu with me right now!”
Mrs. He and her husband, Su Mingfu, stepped forward, each holding one side of the sedan chair, obstructing the Huang butler from taking the person, “My mother has agreed to repay the money. What right do you have to take my daughter away? Today, with me and Xiaofu’s father here, we will not let you take her.”
“With this indenture contract in my hand, that’s enough reason to take the person away! As for repaying the money, that’s out of the question!” The Huang butler ordered his men to pull Mrs. He and her husband away, then continued to carry the sedan chair away.
Tao’s wife never thought of selling her own granddaughter. Seeing the sedan chair leaving again, she panicked, “Oh no, what sins have been committed, what is all this?”
“Mother, look! It’s all your fault, all because of you. If it weren’t for you, how could Xiaofu be kidnapped to become a concubine? Mother, Xiaofu is your own granddaughter, yet you bring her such disaster!”
Mrs. He and her husband, Su Mingfu, now began to blame Tao’s wife, feeling that she was the one who had caused their daughter’s misfortune.
Being Tao’s wife’s own granddaughter, she felt heartbroken for Xiaofu too!
Distressed and in turmoil, Tao’s wife chased after them again, while the onlookers from the Su Family also followed out to watch the drama.
Suddenly, the crowd from the Su Family all dispersed, leaving only Su Yunjin’s family behind. Originally, Su Yunjin wanted to follow the tumult with interest, but was pulled back by Gu Ya, “Enough, Yun’er, be good, don’t go.”
Since Tao’s wife and Xiaofu had now met with the punishment they deserved, Gu Ya asked her not to go, and after thinking it over, Su Yunjin didn’t pursue the commotion any further.
“Little sister, brother-in-law, we truly owe you for this time. Had it not been for you both, I would have been the one taken to become Old Master Huang’s concubine.”
Her elder sister, Su Ningxiu, approached Su Yunjin with a grateful look as she regarded her little sister and brother-in-law. Su Yunjin went forward and took her elder sister’s hand with a smile, “Elder sister, we’re sisters. If I don’t help you, should I help that Su Xiaofu instead?”
With just one sentence, Su Yunjin amused her elder sister, Ningxiu. Su Xiaobao came over, speaking seriously, “Su Xiaofu is so bad, of course Third Sister won’t help Su Xiaofu.”
Seeing Su Xiaofu being carried away by the people from Huang Residence, Su Zhongshi couldn’t help feeling some sympathy, “Yun’er, your cousin Xiaofu was just taken away by the people from Huang Residence like that? Isn’t that a bit too pitiful?”
“Pitiful? I don’t think so.” Su Yunjin looked at her father, Su Zhongshi, and said, “Father, you saw what happened today. If not for Su Xiaofu, it would have been my elder sister sold to become Old Master Huang’s concubine! Moreover, had our grandmother not so wickedly thought to sell my elder sister, would any of this have happened?”
Su Zhongshi fell silent!
Even the usually timid Mrs. Shen felt indignant thinking about Tao’s wife selling off her daughter, Ningxiu, “Husband, Yun’er is right. They brought this upon themselves; they don’t deserve our pity.”
Su Yunjin looked at her mother and was quite pleased with her words. It seemed transforming her pushover parents was not such a difficult task after all.
Thanks to her efforts, her pushover parents were now slowly learning to fight back.
