Clang!

Su Hua was stunned. The knife in her hand fell to the ground. Her almond-shaped eyes instantly filled with tears. The tears slowly flowed from her eye sockets to the corners of her eyes, and then rolled down suddenly, landing on her dimples.

"Sister, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

As she watched the woman slowly open her eyes, she suddenly felt as if a series of past events were unfolding before her eyes like a painting.

In her youth, she led her to play on the ridges of the fields, frolic on the hillsides, and lull her to sleep in bed. In her early teens, when the family was poor, she learned embroidery, her hands covered with needle marks. All the money was used to buy her sweets. Later, when she got married, every single copper coin was saved for her, which was exchanged for a heavy wooden box as her dowry...

Those blurry and fragmented memories are now frighteningly clear before my eyes.

It seems that she experienced all of this herself.

It seems that she is the original owner of this body.

She was the original owner of this body.

“Hua…er, no, don’t cry…don’t cry…” Su Sui saw her crying so hard, and slowly raised her hand from under her sleeve, wanting to wipe away her tears, but her body was too weak, and she could only raise it a little before letting it fall down again. She could only murmur “don’t cry” in a low voice.

“Yes, I will listen to my elder sister, I won’t cry, I won’t cry.”

Su Hua nodded emphatically, her dimples deepening with a smile, and quickly rolled up her sleeves to wipe away her tears.

But the tears were completely uncontrollable, and the more they were wiped away, the more they flowed, gradually soaking their clothes.

Xiao Jinhan stood a short distance away, his eyes slightly raised, quietly watching the person who was both crying and laughing. His lips were tightly pursed, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, thankfully the person was rescued.

Hearing the commotion from Su Hua's side, Wang Peishi, who was crying and pleading, stood up abruptly and slapped Su Sui hard on the head.

"Sui'er, quickly talk to your sister and ask her to let Chunfu go, okay?"

Today's events are something my Wang family has wronged you with, but over the years, we have never mistreated you in other ways.

Now, I've lost an arm, my child's father is crippled, and Chunfu has had a large chunk of flesh cut off. As his mother... no, I... I beg you, for the sake of our years of friendship, can we just end it here?"

Su Hua is a heartless person, but this daughter-in-law is the only one who might be persuaded.

She asks for nothing now but that her son's life be spared.

Wang Chunfu lay on the ground, gazing at the bloodless figure, his eyes reddening slightly. "Sui'er, it's my fault. Please give me another chance, don't divorce me, okay? Sui'er..."

Su Sui leaned against the girl's chest.

She quietly watched the disheveled man on the ground.

Suddenly, it felt like our first meeting was something from a past life.

It was springtime, April, and she was traveling by oxcart to Qingshui County with her embroidery. When they were almost at the county town, the oxcart overturned into a ditch, and all the embroidery she had painstakingly worked on for a year was ruined.

When I felt guilty and frustrated, he appeared like a ray of light.

They pulled her out of the ditch and bought all her embroidery.

But the light she once believed in almost cost her her life.

"Whatever you want to do, elder sister, I will do as you wish." Su Hua noticed the woman's momentary lapse in concentration and sighed inwardly. Her elder sister was simple-minded and soft-hearted. After all these years of marriage to Wang Chunfu, it was impossible for their affection to dissipate overnight.

Su Sui nodded gently, withdrawing her gaze from the man.

Her gentle voice blended into the spring breeze.

"We are getting a divorce... and we will never see each other again in this life."

Zuixianju (Drunken Immortal Abode)

The thin-faced waiter rushed into the restaurant and, seeing Song Jiaren behind the counter, immediately embellished the story of the Su siblings, "Master, that Su family is utterly ungrateful! Not only did they refuse to sell us the recipe for Zuixianju, they even insulted you, Master..."

Song Jiaren paused in his abacus-making, his expression turning cold.

"They insulted me, what did they say to me?"

The servant hesitated, then shook his head in fear, "I...I dare not say."

"Speak! Tell me everything they said!" Upon hearing this, Song Jiaren sneered repeatedly. "I want to see what these country bumpkins dare to say to me."

The servant bit his lip.

After a long while, she glanced timidly at the man and said, "They called the boss a lowly dog!"

"Outrageous!" Song Jiaren's face darkened upon hearing this.

He grabbed the abacus from the counter and smashed it.

"Clang!"

"Ouch!"

"Master, spare me! Master, spare me! Those were the words of the Su siblings, not from a villain!" The servant, seeing stars from the blows, hurriedly begged for mercy, pointing to his own face as he spoke. "I was so angry that I tried to reason with them, but they wouldn't listen and just started beating me up. My face is all swollen!"

They're not slapping the face of a petty person, but the face of our Zuixianju restaurant, and the face of you, the owner!

These people clearly don't respect you at all!

Song Jiaren was so angry that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were extremely sinister. "They really don't listen to reason! I politely offered them money and they refused, but they insisted on courting death!"

Over the years, apart from those few people from Tianxianglou, who hasn't bowed and scraped before Song Jiaren?

This is the first time anyone has dared to call him a dog!

Did he just coast along in Qingshui County all these years?

"Master, how do you want them to die?" The servant lowered his eyes, looking at the abacus on the ground, smashed to pieces and spinning wildly, a sinister smile flashing across his face.

Anyone who dares to hit him will pay the price.

"Buy those disobedient prescriptions the same way you bought them before, buy them the same way this time!" Song Jiaren sneered. "You have to ask me about such a small thing? Do you think I'm supporting you to eat for free?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away," the servant replied obediently.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a man's voice faintly ring out again.

"Have you investigated the background of the Su siblings? They don't seem to have anyone they can't afford to offend, do they?"
