Liu glanced at Lian, somewhat displeased.
But Old Mrs. Yang looked at Mrs. Liu and said to her indistinctly, "You—come here!"
The two pokes Lian gave her earlier hurt so badly she felt like she was going to die. She couldn't believe that a blister could hurt so much. Once she had evidence, she would definitely teach that vicious woman a lesson!
Having no other choice, Liu stepped forward and saw Old Yang open her mouth. She smelled a foul odor and, despite feeling nauseous, picked up her chopsticks.
Looking at the disgusting blisters and remembering how Old Yang had tormented her, Liu immediately started bandaging.
Soon, Old Yang screamed in agony, and she pushed Liu away again.
"You, you..."
Old Mrs. Yang was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately began to hate both of them.
They definitely did it on purpose.
Lian and Liu looked at each other, and Lian cried, "Mother, see, I didn't lie to you. It was because you gave birth to Changshui that I had the opportunity to be your daughter-in-law. I am so grateful to you for the life I have now, how could I possibly harm you!"
"The doctor said that it is necessary to break the skin and soak it in medicine. Mother, just bear with it. My second sister-in-law and I will go together, so it will be faster and you will suffer less pain."
As Lian spoke, she gave Liu a look. Although it was disgusting, it was enough to make Old Yang suffer terribly, and she had no choice but to endure it. Where else could she find such a legitimate opportunity for revenge?
Liu quickly understood and echoed, "Mother, I'll be gentler this time!"
Lian's implication was correct; such an opportunity was rare. As long as Old Yang was the mother of the Su brothers, she would always be their mother-in-law, and they, as her daughters-in-law, could only endure it.
This time, I can openly and honestly make her die in agony. I can tolerate the slight stench. Listening to Old Yang's screams makes me feel better.
Old Yang's eyes were brimming with tears. She was experiencing what it meant to be in unbearable pain. After enduring it for a long time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Liu and Lian away.
She pointed to her mouth to indicate that she really couldn't stand it anymore.
Lian and Liu exchanged a glance, suppressing their inner pleasure and both showing signs of anxiety.
Lian said, "Mother, please bear with it a little longer. The doctor said it won't heal unless it's broken open."
Although I don't know why Old Yang suddenly developed so many herpes rashes, I felt really good seeing her in such a miserable state. The slight stench was nothing compared to that.
Liu echoed, "Yes, Mother, we must listen to the doctor."
At first she was reluctant, but now she felt good about it. Old Mrs. Yang usually tormented them a lot, so this was a rare opportunity.
Old Mrs. Yang felt a sharp pain in her mouth and even a throbbing headache. It wasn't that she suspected her two daughters-in-law, but rather that she was certain they were deliberately retaliating against her.
She wasn't exactly gentle with them on a daily basis, and Old Madam Yang was well aware of that.
She pointed at Liu and Lian and waved her hand, telling them to get lost.
Liu looked at Old Man Su and said, "Father, my sister-in-law and I will go downstairs first. Father, you should talk to Mother properly. My sister-in-law and I are ready to serve you anytime!"
Lian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we will definitely take good care of our parents!"
Old Man Su waved his hand impatiently: "You may leave."
He could no longer tolerate Old Madam Yang. After driving away Madam Liu and Madam Lian, he turned his wooden wheelchair to Old Madam Yang, grabbed her chin tightly, and started poking her with a spoon.
Soon, Old Yang's shrill screams echoed out the door.
The maids looked at each other in bewilderment.
Liu and Lian hadn't gone far when they heard the scream. They looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Lian approached Liu and took her arm, saying, "Second sister-in-law, are you still going to be with me?"
Liu nodded: "If I don't get along with you, who else would I get along with?"
Within this household, she and Lady Lian were the closest of friends, and thinking about the recent coldness between them, Lady Liu felt somewhat guilty.
Lian didn't seem to care much, and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, isn't it strange? How come it's covered in blisters so quickly? They look disgusting..."
"Sister-in-law, don't you feel that with so many things happening lately, things are only getting worse..."
Liu lowered her voice and said that the reason she hadn't gone to see Qin Jin'an again was because she felt that the Su family's luck was getting worse and worse.
Lady Lian thought for a moment and nodded: "I think so too, but many things are their own fault for not listening. Anyway, as long as my elder brother is still the Marquis of Anping, we will have plenty of good days. Don't think too much about it. I haven't had a chance to relax lately, I'm exhausted."
"Then we..."
Liu looked at Lian, and the two smiled at each other, reaching a consensus.
The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the courtyard. From afar, they saw Su Yu'e, and neither of them seemed very happy to see her.
Upon seeing the two women, Su Yu'e immediately approached them arrogantly. She haughtily said, "Sister-in-law, when will I receive my dividends for this month? The new jewelry you promised hasn't arrived yet. Are you both too busy? If you are, that's fine. I can go and choose it myself!"
Su Yu'e hasn't been sleeping well these past few days. The huge loss in the family means that her dowry has been greatly reduced.
She couldn't control the dowry, but thinking about the business that Liu and Lian were doing, she had to hold on to it tightly. It would be even better if she could take over the shop!
Thinking that so much time had passed and she still hadn't visited the shop, she realized that the shop assistants probably didn't recognize her!
She felt she had to make an appearance and let everyone know she was the boss!
"Little sister, business is sometimes profitable and sometimes not. Business hasn't been very good lately, and the profits aren't much. We haven't made any new styles yet. Your second sister-in-law and I will go back and urge them to send them to you when they're ready."
Lian explained to Su Yu'e with a smile.
Madam Liu nodded in agreement: "Yes, as a young lady, you shouldn't go out and show your face in public. If your parents find out, your third sister-in-law and I will get scolded. If you don't trust us, we can show you the account books later."
Lian immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, we're all married women, it's nothing. You're a young lady now, you can visit anytime you want after you get married."
Realizing that Su Yu'e was going to assert her dominance, both Lian and Liu patiently tried to persuade her.
It would be strange if Su Yu'e could go to that place. They didn't actually run any shops, so naturally they couldn't let Su Yu'e go.
Once she gets married, just say the shop was closed due to poor management. Then you can just point to any closed shop; who cares if it's already closed?
"Little sister, don't be anxious just because you're not making much money now. This is just the beginning. Your second sister-in-law and I are learning hard. When we earn more, we'll each give you two extra layers of profit as a dowry when you get married!" Lian said with a smile.
Su Yu'e felt much better after hearing this, and she nodded, suppressing her secret joy: "Alright then, I just wanted to help you two sisters-in-law out of your troubles."
"No need, no need, just focus on embroidering your wedding dress." Madam Liu smiled, and they both knew the sincerity in her words.
