Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Fainting from Anger Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Fainting from Anger After rummaging for a while,
the people from the Huang Residence, seeing the worthless things, cursed and threw everything in their hands to the floor, ignoring the wailing of Mrs. Su, and the Su Family’s house was littered with belongings.
Mrs. Su looked at her possessions thrown on the ground, feeling as though her heart was tearing; especially painful was seeing several pieces of clothing – all of which she had just had made with the silver from selling Su Ningxiu – tossed aside by those people, trampling them underfoot after she’d spent a good amount of money on them!
Su Xiaofu was also distressed. All the clothes in her room had been thrown on the ground, but more than the distress, she was scared; scared that her grandmother wouldn’t have the money to repay those people, and she would once again be taken to serve as a concubine to Old Master Huang.
Old Master Huang was both old and disgusting.
She definitely didn’t want to become Old Master Huang’s concubine.
There weren’t many valuables in the Su Family home, but those people turned the place upside down until they found a wooden chest in Mrs. Su’s room. On opening the chest, besides some silver jewelry, there was also a beautiful gold hairpin that was worth at least ten taels of silver!
Not to mention the considerable amount of silver jewelry.
“Alright, brothers, stop searching, this stuff is enough for Mrs. Su to repay the debt!”
They closed the chest.
After the man spoke, he walked out of Mrs. Su’s room with the chest in his arms, and the others, hearing that the contents of the chest were enough to settle Mrs. Su’s debt,
stopped searching as well.
After exchanging glances,
they all followed the lead man and left the house.
Seeing her treasures found by those men, Mrs. Su immediately tried to pounce forward and snatch them back, “Mine, give them back to me, you bandits, give Mother’s things back to me right now!”
“Pah! What’s yours? Scram, scram, scram, get out of here!” those men pushed Mrs. Su away as she ran up to grab her things, and tucked the chest into their bosoms right in front of Mrs. Su, “I’m telling you, this jewelry will serve as payment for our Master’s debt. If you try to take them back, I’ll haul you off to the officials right now.”
The man was fierce and intimidating.
Frightened, Mrs. Su didn’t dare try to grab them back again.
The jewelry in Mrs. Su’s wooden chest was her treasure, especially the gold hairpin, which was the most valuable. She had bought that hairpin with the money received from selling Su Yunjin, intending to use it to find a wife for her son! And now it was taken by those people!
Angry, Mrs. Su nearly fainted.
Taking the jewelry chest, the group did not pay any more attention to Mrs. Su, and left the Su Family.
Mrs. Su wanted to pursue them, but was held back by Su Xiaofu’s parents, “Mother, it took so much to send those people away, don’t chase after them! If the possessions are stolen, they’re stolen; surely you don’t want Xiaofu to truly become someone’s concubine, right?”
“Nonsense! What do you mean stolen and that’s it? A bunch of useless rubbish, why did I even bother raising all of you good-for-nothings?” Mrs. Su, pained by the loss of her treasures and angry at her son and husband’s uselessness, berated them while other people were robbing their house and neither her son nor her husband dared to let out a fart!
Sitting on the ground, Mrs. Su cursed and yelled, calling the people from the Huang Residence robbers, and cursing the whole family of Su Yunjin.
Mrs. Su believed this was all the fault of that little bitch Su Yunjin.
If it weren’t for that little bitch Su Yunjin, her granddaughter Xiaofu wouldn’t have been taken by the people from the Huang Residence to become a concubine.
And her jewelry would not have been stolen now.
