Chapter 117 I wish she were dead
Qin's expression was indifferent; she had no time for any underhanded tactics with them.
Qin said coldly, "Madam Su, please speak plainly."
Qin's cold and straightforward manner left Liu speechless, leaving her with nothing to say.
After exchanging a glance with Lian, Liu sighed and said, "Sister Qin, could you come to our house and massage Father-in-law's legs? We have no other choice. You know how hard it is for us."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Liu's eyes.
Lian also sobbed and said, "These days, we have been tormented terribly. They don't want maids to serve us, but they insist that we perform filial duties. We are treated like cattle and horses and we don't get a single kind word. Sister, please have pity on us. We really have no other choice..."
Old Mrs. Yang had a better day yesterday, but Old Man Su didn't let her have an easy time either.
So early in the morning, Old Madam Yang found them and ordered them to invite Madam Qin back.
Liu and Lian were in dire straits; what could they possibly do?
But Old Madam Yang forced them to come out; they had no choice but to. Since the matter was already done, they couldn't do anything if Madam Qin didn't go.
The Su family didn't treat them as one of their own; there must be servants under Old Madam Yang's orders watching them from the shadows.
"Yes, if we had family members on our side, we wouldn't mind staying at the Su family's place..."
Liu sighed, her face showing bitterness.
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui had all sorts of fun outside, while they endured everything in the mansion, making their lives truly meaningless.
I thought Qin Shi would have a hard time, but she'll be better off soon.
Because she has a very valuable daughter.
"You've got the wrong people. I'm not going. I'd rather they die sooner, the more painful the better!"
Qin's expression was cold, and her words were full of malicious curses.
Liu and Lian were at a loss for what to do.
Qin packed her things herself, carried Qin Jin'an onto the cart, Qin Tianhai patted the horse, and the three of them left.
"Sigh..." Madam Lian sighed.
This was the expected result; if it were them, they wouldn't have gone either.
"Going back will be another ordeal. I really envy Qin Yuwan."
Liu sighed as well. She meant it. No one expected that Qin would have such a smooth life after leaving the Su family.
Her father seemed gentle and polite. Everyone laughed at him for being almost fifty and still thinking about taking the imperial examinations. But he was so composed, earning money by copying books. Rather than a joke, it was actually out of jealousy that Qin Yuwan had such a father.
He at least took action, and anyone could see why Qin Tianhai wanted to conduct scientific research. Not everyone has that kind of courage.
"Second sister-in-law, I don't want to go back."
Lian felt a pang of envy, but what good was it if they didn't have it?
She doesn't want to go back now.
"I don't want to either."
Liu looked at Lian. Su Changsheng was having a great time drinking and eating tea outside. He hadn't been to her room in a long time. It was too suffocating in the Su mansion. He couldn't even get enough of the air outside.
“Let’s find a tavern to have a bite and a drink. Why should we serve those two old hags? We have servants in the mansion. Why should we care what that old hag wants to do? Let’s go back later tonight.”
Lian boldly made the suggestion.
After thinking about it, Liu finally nodded.
Going back would only mean being scolded and tormented; going back later would at least give them some peace and happiness.
Lian smiled and said, "I know a place..."
Men love to visit brothels, and women also have their own places of entertainment. What looks like a jewelry shop is actually a brothel behind it.
Listen to the music of the zither and flute, watch a play and have a little wine.
Here you can temporarily forget your troubles.
While Liu found it novel, she also complained a bit: "When did you find out? You didn't even tell me."
The Lian family is a regular here, but she only found out now.
"Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. I just didn't have time. I haven't had time to come lately, but I'm going all out today."
Lian said with a forced smile that she hadn't had time to come since Qin left the Su family.
Today she's going all out; she just wants to relax.
Leaning against the handsome young man, she waited delicately for him to feed her wine and food, and then listen to a few songs. Lian felt as if she had entered a fairyland.
At first, Liu was a little uncomfortable, but she quickly relaxed and became engrossed in it.
It took them just over an hour to eat and drink their fill before they came out.
"I don't know when I'll be able to come again next time."
Lian sighed.
This Su family mansion is like hell. Old Madam Yang and Old Man Su are like Yama, the King of Hell. They can't get out unless they give the order.
"Sister-in-law, I have an idea."
Recalling the relaxation she had just experienced, Liu felt a pang of nostalgia and a bold idea formed in her mind: she decided to bring Lian along.
"What method?"
Lian asked.
“We also do business. My younger sister is not married yet, and she will marry into an official family. If she can make money in business, she will have more confidence in managing the household. We have also saved some of our own money. We will voluntarily act as a test. If we find a way, we will hand it over to her.”
Liu said softly, "Su Yu'e will definitely be interested in this method. If she proposes it to Old Yang, Old Yang and Old Man Su will agree."
Su Yu'e married the son of a county magistrate in Liuzhou City. Although he had Su Chang'an's name, it was better to have it herself than to have it herself. Su Yu'e must have wanted to have something to be proud of.
"That's a good idea. Let's try to persuade my younger sister first. Once she agrees, we can have some free time from time to time."
Lian was also tempted. Su Yu'e wasn't very bright, so she was easy to persuade.
The more Lian thought about it, the more promising it seemed, and he couldn't wait to get the business up and running.
"But second sister-in-law, what kind of business are we going to do?"
They wouldn't know how either, Lian was a little worried. She had worked hard to save up her little bit of savings, and she couldn't afford to waste it.
"Are you stupid? What kind of business do we do? We don't have the culinary skills of the Qin family to make noodles, fish jerky, or meat jerky. We just want to come out and have some fun. Then we can say that the business lost money. After a year, those two old geezers might die... Even if they don't die, with Su Dai coming back, our lives will be better."
Liu nudged Lian lightly and said in a low voice.
She had no intention of actually doing business; she just couldn't stand being tormented by Old Mrs. Yang every day.
Why should Su Changsheng be able to enjoy life, and even Qin Shi is about to live a good life, while they are treated like old women?
They are the second and third wives of the Su family.
"Listen to your second sister-in-law, she's the smartest one."
Lian took Liu's arm; the two of them were together.
They returned to the Su residence.
Old Mrs. Yang's face fell as expected: "What's the use of raising you? It's better to raise a dog or a pig!"
Her face was gloomy, like a demon crawling out of hell, her wrinkles revealing her meanness.
Both Liu and Lian felt incredibly humiliated, but they endured it. Lian smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Mother, once my elder brother replies and brings Su Dai back, everything will be fine. It will only take a few more days. I'm sorry to trouble you both for these few days. Once we bring the child back, Qin Yuwan will have no leverage over us, and she'll be in big trouble! We can't get her to come now, but she'll be begging to come and serve us like slaves!"
