Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Stealing the Hairpin
“In this family, the decision-maker is my grandma, and whoever Su Ningxiu should marry is determined by her!” Su Xiaofu burst out.
Mrs. Tao had promised that if she bought Su Ningxiu, that little wretch, there would be a set of head ornaments from the jewelry shop in the market for her. If Su Ningxiu didn’t get married, where would she find the money to buy head ornaments?
Su Yunjin looked at the woman who had suddenly burst out and immediately recognized that she was Su Xiaofu. The original owner of this body had been pushed into the water and drowned by this very woman!
She had been worrying about not finding an opportunity to take revenge on Su Xiaofu!
Now that Su Xiaofu had jumped out on her own, wasn’t this perfect?
Seizing this chance, in front of so many people, she could just take care of Su Xiaofu as well? Su Yunjin didn’t speak, which made Su Xiaofu think Su Yunjin was afraid of her. She immediately looked at Su Yunjin with arrogance, just like she used to look down upon her, “I tell you, as long as my grandma is in charge of the Su Family, your whole family will have to listen to her!”
“Is that so?” Su Yunjin sneered, “If I remember correctly, our family seems to have already been separated from yours, right? Since we’ve split off, what does your grandma being in charge of your family have to do with us? After the separation, even if your grandma wanted to control everything, she couldn’t extend her reach to us anymore!”
Back then, Mrs. Tao wanted to exploit Su Yunjin’s family without restraint and didn’t want to waste silver on them. And she didn’t want to share meat and delicacies with Su Yunjin’s family as well. Therefore, Mrs. Tao came up with the idea of separation, dividing Su Yunjin’s family from the rest. She had plenty of ways to manipulate Su Yunjin’s family, and by doing so, she didn’t have to share anything with them but could still exploit them as much as she wanted.
In the Su Family village, the rule was that once a family had been separated, they were independent, making their own decisions in all matters. Having been separated by Mrs. Tao, according to the rules, she had no right to interfere with Su Ningxiu’s marriage.
Su Xiaofu was quickly silenced by Su Yunjin’s questioning. Su Yunjin’s gaze fell on Su Xiaofu’s head, and she noticed the silver hairpin. Su Yunjin distinctly remembered that the silver hairpin on Su Xiaofu’s hair had been given to her by her former fiancé, Fan Wenxuan. The reason she was pushed into the water by Su Xiaofu was precisely because she had discovered Fan Wenxuan’s affair with Su Xiaofu.
Narrowing her eyes, Su Yunjin noticed that Fan Wenxuan’s mother, Mrs. Liang, who was exceedingly astute and would scold over a missing copper coin, was also present at the Su Family house to watch the commotion. If Mrs. Liang knew that her precious silver hairpin had ended up with Su Xiaofu, she would definitely make a scene, accusing Su Xiaofu of stealing her hairpin.
If Su Xiaofu didn’t admit to stealing and confessed that Fan Wenxuan had given her the hairpin, then her seduction of her sister’s former fiancé would become common knowledge. If Su Xiaofu admitted she had stolen it, she would be branded a thief. In either case, Su Xiaofu’s reputation would be utterly ruined!
Snatching the silver hairpin that Fan Wenxuan had given to her from Su Xiaofu’s hair, Su Yunjin pretended to be oblivious and asked, “Sister, I haven’t seen you wear this silver hairpin before? What’s this? Did grandma sell me and use the money from my sale to buy you a hairpin to wear? Our grandma really does spoil you, her dear granddaughter.”
Su Yunjin deliberately asked Su Xiaofu about the hairpin while facing in Mrs. Liang’s direction. Indeed, Mrs. Liang immediately recognized her hairpin and ran out, pointing at Su Xiaofu and scolding, “How did my hairpin end up with you? Tell me, did you go to my house and steal my hairpin?”
