Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
In a room on the second floor of the Su family's house, Su Zeyuan, Su Zhaoyuan, Su Jinyuan, Xie Zijun, Liu Liangjie, Liu Jingze, and Su Tiantian were all in the room, and the door was locked.
Su Zeyuan said, "Everyone is here. I don't need to tell you what day it is today. But Zhaoyuan and Shuzhi, you are really causing trouble for Jinyuan's family on such a happy day."
Su Shuzhi lost her earlier assertiveness and said aggrievedly, "I didn't want to do this either, but my second uncle was determined to bring me and Mr. Liu together, and he was even thinking of using any means necessary, so I had no choice but to fight back."
It turned out that Su Zhaoyuan really wanted to introduce Su Shuzhi to Liu Liangjie.
He said, "What have I done wrong? Su Shuzhi, I'm just concerned about your happiness. Seeing that you're almost forty and still unmarried, and seeing how worried your eldest brother is, I wanted to be a matchmaker. Su Shuning, if you don't want to, just say so directly. It would be great if the whole family knew about it."
Su Shuzhi said coldly, "Second Uncle, just take care of yourself and don't meddle in my affairs. Besides, I won't lend you money, and neither will my father. Don't encourage my soft-hearted brother to do irrational things. I don't think Mr. Liu will lend me money either."
Xie Zijun said: "Shuzhi, no matter how strong a woman is, she still needs a family. We all want you well. Liangjie is a little bit wronged at your age, but he has good conditions and good character. I don't know how many people want to marry him."
Su Shuzhi's lips curled up in a meaningful arc, and she said, "In the adult world, people always weigh the pros and cons more. Your daughter wants a divorce, right? You'll gain more benefits by marrying her to Mr. Liu. I remember when Shu Ning got married last time, you received a 300,000 yuan betrothal gift. Maybe Mr. Liu could give more."
Xie Zijun was stunned. She twitched her lips as if she wanted to smile, but that smile was uglier than crying. "Su Shuzhi, what are you talking about? Shu Ning is the same age as Tian Tian, and you actually want her to marry an old man?"
Liu Liangjie, who was mentioned again, was so angry that his face turned black. Even though he was an old man, he had no intention of marrying his daughter-in-law's cousin.
He stared at Su Zhaoyuan with a sharp and piercing gaze, and said word by word, "Su Zhaoyuan, I used to respect you and call you Brother Zhao, but today I don't want to call you that anymore. Do you think it's your turn to worry about my marriage? Today, in front of Brother Zeyuan, even if you are the second uncle of my daughter-in-law Su Tiantian, I will break off my friendship with you. Our previous friendship no longer exists."
As soon as these words came out, Su Zhaoyuan's face changed. He snorted coldly, his eyes reddening. "What a Liu Liangjie! You're rich now, and you look down on me. I know that. And you all look down on me and don't help me. Even if you're my biological brother, you don't help me."
Su Zhaoyuan had drunk quite a bit of wine, and now he was angry. His face turned even redder, and his hands were shaking a little. Xie Zijun hurriedly supported him.
Liu Liangjie's tone was cold and his attitude was distant: "Whatever you think, we are not who we used to be. Everyone knows it."
Su Shuzhi lowered her head and chuckled softly, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably from the laughter. Her tone was filled with indescribable sarcasm: "Second Uncle, I know you can't stand a woman like me being so stubborn, and I know you laugh at me behind my back, but it doesn't matter. I'm living a better life than you are now."
Su Jinyuan said: "Second brother, Shuzhi, I am really angry today. My daughter got married and my second sister-in-law made trouble. My son got married and Shuzhi made trouble. If you are brothers from the same clan, don't blame me for not giving you face next time you have a happy event."
Su Shuzhi said sincerely, "Third Uncle, I apologize to you and Zhihao. I really had no choice. Second Uncle forced me, my brother forced me, and my father is in the hospital. I didn't want him to worry too much, so I had to reveal Second Uncle's true face like this. I don't want to offend you, nor do I want to offend Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I know you are unaware of this."
Su Shuzhi bowed to Su Jinyuan.
Then, Su Shuzhi bowed to Liu Liangjie.
Su Zhaoyuan was furious. He pointed at Su Shuzhi and shouted, "Su Shuzhi, I'm the one you're sorry for. You've damaged my reputation. Now so many people are laughing at me."
Su Shuzhi's eyes were dark and filled with hatred. "Su Zhaoyuan, I have nothing to be sorry for. It's you who are sorry for my father and me. Your eldest brother, my father, lent you money out of brotherly love. Now he's sick. Have you paid me back? I also lent you some money. Have you paid it back?"
Su Zhaoyuan pursed his lips, his eyes flickering a little: "Business has been slow recently, and I can't make ends meet for the time being. Besides, you have the money to pay for my brother's medical expenses."
Su Shuzhi's voice was cold, with a look of sadness on her face: "You have the money to buy a car for your son, but you don't have the money to pay it back. You appear to be friendly and close to my father, but secretly you are deliberately trying to steal his business. So what if we are brothers? It's nothing compared to profit."
Xie Zijun muttered quietly, but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear: "I only paid the down payment for my son's car. He has to pay the loan every month."
She was revealing her own shortcomings. You know, she usually said that her children were quite capable.
Su Shuzhi said, "Uncle and aunt, you have no conscience, and neither do your children. Did they come to Zhihao's wedding today? Did they visit my father when he was sick in the hospital? Did they even go to visit Tiantian, my distant niece, who was pregnant and couldn't go, send gifts and red envelopes to the hospital?"
Su Tiantian, who was mentioned by Su Shuzhi, did not react at all. She felt that she was just doing what she should do.
Xie Zijun raised her drooping eyes, revealing a shattered expression. Her dejected and distressed look was a stark contrast to her usual high-spirited self. She said harshly, "Su Shuzhi, you clearly know why Shu Ning didn't come. She's getting a divorce, and you, as her older sister, didn't help her and instead blamed her."
