Chapter 66: Strike at the Heart
In today's world, equality for all is advocated, and workers and farmers are more respected and are considered to be a higher social status.
What kind of noble family he is? If she dared to say such things in public, she might be taken away by someone with ulterior motives.
She's been in Nancheng for so many years and has never talked about her family background outside. How could this woman know?
“Of course I know, and I know quite a lot. Auntie, can we sit down and have a chat?” Su Peipei’s smile was calm and collected, but in Xu Xiuyun and Shu Bowen’s eyes, it was sinister and terrifying.
Xu Xiuyun and Shu Bowen exchanged a glance, knowing that the other party had come with ill intentions.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Xu Xiuyun had seen a lot in her life, and after being caught off guard at first, she gradually calmed down.
"I don't want to do anything, I just came to visit my uncle and aunt. Aunt doesn't need to be so nervous." Su Peipei was in a good mood, even a little proud. She never thought that she could get along with this mother-in-law like this, not being suppressed by her, but being able to suppress her instead.
Awesome, that's so awesome!
Xu Xiuyun frowned slightly and said impatiently, "Just say what you have to say. We don't have time to waste with you."
Su Peipei looked at Shu Bowen and said affectionately, "Bowen, have you missed me these past few days? I've been thinking about you every single day."
Shu Bowen looked surprised, then his face flushed and his eyes darted away.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuyun secretly glared at her son, thinking, "What a good-for-nothing!"
Xu Xiuyun was furious and retorted sarcastically, "Little girl, you're shameless. You keep talking about whether you want to or not, you're so unrestrained. What? You're so desperate for a man that you think you can just grab any guy and cling to him?"
"Auntie, what you're saying is so ill-mannered, you're no less rude than that shrew from the village entrance."
"You!" Xu Xiuyun's face darkened instantly.
"Comrade, you should leave if you have nothing else to do. I don't know you, and you're not welcome in my home."
When Shu Bowen saw his mother being scolded, he immediately forgot his embarrassment and spoke up to help her, causing his feelings for Su Peipei to plummet.
Su Peipei never expected that Shu Bowen would actually side with his mother. In her previous life, he always remained silent and did not take sides whenever the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled.
She seemed to have forgotten that this was not her previous life; she hadn't married into the Shu family yet.
When Xu Xiuyun heard her son help her and saw Su Peipei's pale face, her mood instantly improved. She laughed and said, "Little girl, did you hear that? My son said you should leave. Are you still going to be shameless? How eager are you to leave?"
"Heh, my son isn't someone you can just dream about, some rotten cabbage leaf from a stinking ditch. I advise you to give up your ambitions and find some like-minded trash to match with. You're so desperate for a man, don't waste your time."
Su Peipei's originally dignified yet sweet smile completely crumbled, turning as black as the bottom of a pot and as cold as ice.
No one could remain unmoved by her harsh words. Su Peipei didn't think she had the temperament to swallow her anger. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slightly, saying, "Auntie, you're being too polite. Don't you think about why I chose your son over others?"
Xu Xiuyun was taken aback, her heart pounding faster. "Why?"
Su Peipei looked at Shu Bowen with a seductive gaze and a half-smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shu Bowen was also a little flustered, feeling that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Su Peipei's next words almost scared him to death.
