When Su Sijin came to the old lady, she looked around and didn't see the person she was looking for.
Su Sijin took two bundles of firewood and left without saying a word. Qin Qing was quick to snatch it away, but Su Sijin dodged her.
Su Sijin's sudden snatch made the old lady, Huang Siyan, Chen Chunhua and others confused and angry.
Qin Qing couldn't wait to condemn Su Sijin, "My niece, why did you come up and grab it without saying a word?"
Su Sijin sneered, "Aunt San, you have the nerve to confuse right and wrong and put the blame on someone else. I want to ask you, did you pick up these two bundles of firewood?"
Qin Qing's face turned pale when she heard this. She avoided looking at Su Sijin, but still shamelessly admitted, "Of course... I picked it up."
After Qin Qing finished speaking, she raised her head and glared at Su Sijin, "It's not me, did you pick it up?"
Su Sijin replied calmly, "Of course it's not me."
But Su Sijin's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, "Of course it's not you, Third Aunt, don't snatch other people's things anymore. After all, it's not good to have your face peeled off and stepped on."
Qin Qing's eyes flickered, and she stammered guiltily, "Rob...Rob...Rob...What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I picked it up myself, why do you say it's robbery? Who did I steal? Why don't you call her out to confront me?"
Qin Qing was sure that Zheng Jie would not dare to confront her. With her foolish temper, she had suffered so many losses in silence when she was in the palace. When had she ever spoken back loudly?
She had to swallow her anger and this time was no exception. Zheng Jie didn't dare to confront her, so she dared to snatch the firewood from her.
I just didn't expect that Su Sijin would have the nerve to come to my house and take back two bundles of firewood.
Given Su Sijin's vengeful temper, if she goes against Su Sijin, she will definitely not end up well.
However, it would be more satisfying to just kill her directly than to make her admit defeat in front of everyone in the third room.
"Did you pick it up yourself?" Su Sijin pretended to be confused.
Su Sijin chuckled charmingly, "Third Aunt's shamelessness really surprised me and shattered my three views. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as Third Aunt."
Su Sijin put away her playful expression and said coldly, "You stole the firewood that my mother had worked so hard to collect, and you took it away shamelessly."
"Aunt San, you really have to take care of your skin. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind pulling it off for you and measuring its thickness."
After Su Sijin finished speaking, she picked up two bundles of firewood and prepared to leave. She had more important things to do.
But... sometimes things don't go as planned. Wasn't she stopped in her tracks by the old woman's scolding?
"Su, stop right there."
The old lady ordered Su Sijin to stop. Su Sijin turned her head and looked at the old lady calmly, "I wonder what instructions grandma has?"
Even if she was given an order, she would not follow it.
The old lady raised her nose slightly and snorted coldly, "So what if your Third Aunt took the firewood? You won't even pick up two bundles of firewood for me?"
Su Sijin frowned, looked at the old lady in confusion, and glanced at the Lu family, asking without knowing the truth, "Grandma, have you forgotten that you only divided our eldest house, and the documents for the division are still warm."
Su Sijin sarcastically said,
"Besides, my second uncle, third uncle, aunt, and eldest cousin are all strong laborers sitting under the big tree to enjoy the coolness. Do you have the nerve to steal the firewood that my widowed sister-in-law and widowed aunt have collected in the scorching sun?"
Su Sijin's words were so heartbreaking that it would not be an exaggeration to say that anyone who knew shame would feel so ashamed that they would not be able to face anyone.
But it was obvious that only Lu Mao from the third room lowered his head in shame, while everyone else, including the old lady, glared at Su Sijin angrily.
Su Sijin sneered and turned away.
The old lady and the others were left furious. She had said that it was best not to interfere with other people's affairs.
But it was obvious that someone wanted to disrupt the well and river water and profit from it, so she naturally would not show mercy.

The dark and windy night is really suitable for doing things that cannot be done in broad daylight.
In a secluded place far away from the crowd, Su Sijin accurately inserted the silver needle into the visitor's voice-loss point before the visitor had time to react.
Immediately afterwards, the newcomer's head was covered, and a sudden cry of fear stopped Su Sijin from punching or kicking.
Su Sijin looked towards the source of the sound, against the moonlight, and found that the person coming was Shen Tingyun.
Su Sijin pulled her to the man with a hood over his head, and Su Sijin stretched out her fist and swung it at the man.
Su Sijin demonstrated a few times and signaled Shen Tingyun to join in with her eyes.
Shen Tingyun shook his head in fear, but there was a hint of looseness in his eyes.
Su Sijin looked at her firmly, and said encouragingly, "Don't you want to seek justice for yourself? Don't you want to punish the people who bullied you with your own hands?"
Shen Tingyun, who understood Su Sijin's lip language, finally threw away the rules and regulations about women that were engraved in his bones. The cowardice in his eyes was replaced by resentment, and he moved in front of Su Sijin.
Encouraged by Su Sijin, Shen Tingyun overcame his inner resistance and fear, then swung his fist at the man.
Shen Tingyun's strength was like an embroidered pillow. Pang Su Sijin shook her head in disdain, picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground, and handed it to Shen Tingyun.
Shen Tingyun took it and swung it at the man without thinking, again and again, until he was tired and could no longer hold the stick, then he stopped.
Su Sijin threw the stick into the bushes and ran away with Shen Tingyun.
They stopped when they reached a secluded place.
Shen Tingyun calmed down a little and asked uncertainly, “Sister Su, there is so much blood on that stick, it won’t kill anyone, right!”
She was so scared. After all, it was her first time to do something so bold and it was against the rules of etiquette.
She wanted to hear from Su Sijin that the man was still alive so that she could feel at ease.
Su Sijin told her confidently, "No, she won't die. Your strength is not enough to kill her, and you didn't hit her vital parts."
Shen Tingyun's hanging heart finally settled down, "That's good, it seems like this is the first time I've been so bold and beat someone up without caring about anything."
"Is it good?"
"It feels great. I've never felt so happy both physically and mentally."
Shen Tingyun felt that she had lived a very depressed life since she was young, and the beating tonight seemed to have cleared away all the gloom and depression deep in her heart.
It was as if the shackles she had always wanted to break through had finally been achieved tonight, and at that moment he felt relaxed all over.
Su Sijin held her hand tightly and patted it gently. "After we go back, you can forget everything about tonight. Just get up early tomorrow and do whatever you need to do. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Su Sijin's words of comfort broke Shen Tingyun's defense. The words "I'll take care of everything" were enough to soothe her anxious heart.
Shen Tingyun was moved to tears, and heard Su Sijin's gentle instructions.
"Lu Xiao, you don't need to be afraid of him. He's a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong. Lu Xiao, he will never harm a woman again."
Su Sijin's words were full of meaning, which made Shen Tingyun look at her in confusion. She only had time to see the sneer on Su Sijin's lips.
"Forget about what happened during the day and tonight. Just be yourself from now on."
The two men returned to the camp carefully, thinking that they had left without being noticed.
Little did they know that when they lay down, Lu Changgong opened his eyes that were pretending to be asleep.
