A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Yang was confident and kept observing Su Nanxi's expression. She didn't frown until the very end, but the words Su Nanxi finally said were not the answer she wanted!
Su Nanxi's expression didn't change, but Yang herself did, and she immediately became serious.
“Why not? My family is in complete chaos right now. I only came to you for help because I had no other choice. You can’t even help with this small thing? Can you really bear to see our Zhao family fall apart? Huilan isn’t home, and you don’t care about us at all! This little thing is nothing to you, but it’s a big deal to us. We can wait.”
Perhaps people change when their own interests are involved, and Yang was no exception.
In Su Nanxi's memory, this Yang woman had not appeared often and he did not know much about her. She did not seem like the kind of person who would cause trouble or be unreasonable. But now that he saw her, he felt that he had misjudged her.
As long as their own interests are not infringed, they can be polite to everyone, but once their interests are involved, well, sorry, not even their own mother can help!
It's not so easy to change one's attitude instantly.
It's not wrong for Yang to fight for her family's interests, and no one can say anything about that. However, it's her own business to fight for those interests. The Mo family hasn't offended her. Who gave her the audacity to drag the Mo family into this?
Do as much as you are capable of!
It's not that there's really no way, it's just that some people are unwilling to give up even a little bit!
You must hold onto what you already have and not lose a single bit, while you turn your attention to others and demand their help without expecting anything in return!
Is this appropriate?
Su Nanxi sneered twice after hearing Yang's words, "What does the Zhao family have to do with me? That's my second sister-in-law's family, not mine. At most, we're just ordinary relatives! What, do I have an obligation to help you all the time? Get your facts straight first, and don't try to act like an elder to me. It won't work with me!"
Madam Yang did indeed act like an elder, assuming that Su Nanxi, like her daughter, would respect her as an elder, prioritizing filial piety and refraining from saying anything harsh. After all, young people don't have her experience, and even a slightly louder voice from her would put pressure on the younger generation, who generally wouldn't immediately refuse!
Besides, Su Nanxi's expression never changed, which gave Yang the illusion that she was easy to talk to and easy to control. If she spoke more sharply, Su Nanxi would be afraid.
But she didn't understand Su Nanxi. Old Madam Mo had already reminded her to stop when she was ahead, but she had completely forgotten. She still thought she was at home. It's a pity that she couldn't handle her two daughters-in-law even at her own home.
That's probably it. They want to regain face in the Mo family; they can't afford to lose face completely!
Unfortunately, I went to the wrong place.
Su Nanxi no longer cares about kinship. She won't do things she doesn't want to do. Besides, she already regrets starting this, so cutting her losses is the right thing to do!
Indeed, money can move people's hearts!
Some people shouldn't be helped; that's their fate. Helping them will only make their lives more miserable!
Yang was taken aback by Su Nanxi's words. Seeing Su Nanxi's suddenly changed expression, she felt a chill run down her spine. Su Nanxi had been so easygoing just now, how could she have changed like this all of a sudden!
She was terrified!
That gaze was sharp and piercing, with a hint of ice, making people afraid to look directly at it and turning their heads away.
How could things change so suddenly!
Having big eyes doesn't make you special!
It scared her!
His tone of voice changed suddenly, catching her completely off guard!
They hit all her sore spots, they really didn't hold back at all!
Yang looked embarrassed, glanced around, and stammered, "We're relatives after all. Shouldn't relatives help each other?"
Su Nanxi regained her usual expression, as if the change in demeanor had never happened and was merely Yang's illusion. She asked calmly, "Didn't we help you?"
Yang also thought she had misjudged, but she dared not be careless anymore. This was someone else's house, so she had to be more discreet. Su Nanxi's displeasure was gone, which was a good omen!
Su Nanxi probably just wanted to see her attitude, so if she straightened her posture, she might still have a chance!
Hearing Su Nanxi's question, Madam Yang became even more certain and couldn't help but feel delighted. She replied softly, "You did help us, but now we have new difficulties that we can't solve, so we came to you!"
Su Nanxi rolled her eyes and retorted rudely, "I'm not your mother, so don't come to me every time you have a problem. I'm not an official either, and I have no obligation to endlessly solve the problems of ordinary people!"
Yang was speechless and furious. How could this person talk like that? The more he said it, the more unpleasant it became!
They only came to them for help because they had no other choice. They're relatives, and since they've helped them once, it's only natural to help them again!
Old Mrs. Mo wanted to step forward and pull Yang away, but Su Nanxi shook her head slightly, signaling her not to.
This is bound to fall apart sooner or later, and since it's already started, let's just go all the way!
I don't have time to come again, it's so frustrating!
Grandma Mo understood Su Nanxi's intention. After thinking for a moment, she withdrew her outstretched foot and stood aside to watch.
Seeing how choked up and embarrassed Yang looked, he felt no sympathy for her at all!
Isn't this all self-inflicted?
well!
Su Su is absolutely right. They're just relatives. Why try to use moral blackmail? Who has an obligation to keep helping others?
Interfering in other people's family affairs with such a long reach, what kind of behavior is that!
Even the most upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes!
Why bother getting involved? Are you just asking for trouble?
This kind of thing is always thankless. If you do it well, no one will thank you, but if you do it poorly, you will be scolded in all sorts of ways!
Only a fool would try to help again and again!
I've already said we're relatives, helping is a favor, not helping is our right!
You can't even figure this out!
They're making it seem like the Mo family owes the Zhao family a huge debt!
It's true that Su Su is so busy that her feet are barely touching the ground!
Who has time to bother with these trivial matters!
Seeing Yang's discomfiture, Su Nanxi sneered inwardly, but said calmly, "My words may be rough, but they make sense! You're older than me, so you should understand! I don't owe you anything, and the Mo family doesn't owe you anything either! You may not have any ideas, but if you want to solve this, I do have a method! It's very effective!"
Yang looked up, her eyes lighting up. "Really? What method?"
She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. If it could be solved perfectly, that would be wonderful.
Su Nanxi knew that Madam Yang only wanted to take in and not give out, so she couldn't help but sneer inwardly and said slowly, "Since it started with that small business, then let it end with that small business. It's that simple!"
Yang's smile froze, utterly astonished. "How can that be?"
