Chapter 17 Severing Ties!! A Hole Wipe Out!!!
Just then, Lin Xiuzhen suddenly noticed another household registration book on the ground, with a piece of paper tucked inside.
A certificate bearing a bright red seal clearly reads: "[Honorary Certificate for Educated Youth Sent to the Countryside]".
The name column clearly reads: Lin Wan'er.
Destination: Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Northwest China.
Lin Xiuzhen's eyes widened instantly, and her hand holding the paper trembled violently, almost unable to hold the thin piece of paper.
She suddenly looked up, staring intently at Su Yue, her voice so shrill it could pierce eardrums.
"Su Yue! You vicious woman! What is this?!"
Su Yue picked at her ear, a smile that could only be described as innocent and naive.
"Oh, that one."
She spoke slowly, each word like a poisoned icicle.
"That was the bright future I arranged for my sister. My sister is very idealistic, and I thought, how could a small place like a textile factory be worthy of her ambitions?"
"So, I signed her up to go to the place where the motherland needs her most, to the vast Northwest, to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Mom, oh no, Aunt Lin, you don't need to thank me, it's just what I, as her older sister, should do."
"puff--"
Lin Xiuzhen couldn't catch her breath, felt a sweet taste in her throat, swayed, and almost fainted on the spot.
Lin Wan'er rushed over and snatched the paper. After reading it, she let out an even more shrill scream than before.
"Ah! I don't want to go! I don't want to go to the Northwest! Dad! Dad, look what she's done!"
All the blame ultimately fell on Su Guohua.
Su Guohua looked at the certificate of being an educated youth, then at Su Yue's innocent face. In the end, the last bit of father-daughter affection burned to ashes in his raging anger.
He pointed at Su Yue's nose, his lips trembling with anger.
"Good, good, good! You are truly my good daughter!"
"I, Su Guohua, have no daughter like you! From today onwards, get out of this house! We sever all ties between us!"
He finally shouted those words.
Su Yue had been waiting for this moment.
The sadness and grievance on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of relief.
"Sure."
She nodded, her tone light as if she were talking about the weather.
"Words are no proof; let's draw up a written agreement."
As she spoke, she turned and went back to her room. When she came out again, she had three copies of the paper and a pen in her hand.
On it, the three large characters "Severance of Relationship" were written in a flamboyant style, and the contents and terms were clearly listed, indicating that it had been prepared in advance.
"Come on, Mr. Su Guohua, sign here."
She slammed the letter severing ties and the pen onto the only still standing table, and made a "please" gesture.
Su Guohua was completely stunned.
Looking at the meticulously prepared letter of severance, he belatedly realized that he had been manipulated by his daughter from beginning to end.
All his anger, roars, and decisions were within her calculations.
"You...you..."
"What do you mean, 'I'? Didn't you say you wanted to sever ties with your family? What, you dare to say it but not admit it? Or are you saying that as a grown man, your words are just empty talk?" Su Yue retorted without any politeness.
"Sign! I'll sign!"
Su Guohua was so enraged that his blood boiled. He snatched the pen, and without even looking at the contents, he signed his name on the two letters severing ties in a flamboyant manner.
"Get out! Get out of here right now!"
Su Yue picked up one of the copies, carefully blew on the ink stains to make sure it was correct, then carefully folded it and put it in her pocket.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that the matter was already settled, Lin Xiuzhen and Lin Wan'er went completely insane.
"You little bitch! You'll die a horrible death! You stole all the money from the house and even made me go to the far northwest! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
"You jinx! You're a cursed widow and mother-killer! I should have strangled you when you were born!"
The vile curses, like a flood bursting its banks, surged towards Su Yue.
"Your mouth is so dirty, it looks like you didn't brush it properly."
Before she finished speaking, she had already moved.
"Smack!"
A crisp, loud slap landed hard on Lin Wan-er's face.
Lin Wan'er was spun around halfway after being hit, then fell to the ground with a thud, her face swelling up at a visible speed.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
Su Yue flexed her wrists and walked towards Lin Xiuzhen, who was already terrified.
So what if I hit you?
She grabbed Lin Xiuzhen's hair, forcing her to raise her head, while using her other hand to grab her from both sides.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Several slaps landed on Lin Xiuzhen, making her see stars and drawing blood from the corner of her mouth.
"This slap was for my mother!"
"This slap was for myself!"
She kicked the limp Lin Xiuzhen away, looked down at the wailing mother and daughter on the ground, and finally felt all the anger in her chest go.
That was fun.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Several police officers in uniform, with serious expressions, strode in.
As soon as Lin Wan'er saw the police, she clung to them like a lifeline, scrambling over and pointing at Su Yue, crying out.
"Officer! It's her! It's definitely her! She stole everything from our house! And she even assaulted us! Arrest her immediately!"
However, the square-faced police officer in the lead didn't even glance at her.
His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, locking onto Su Guohua, who was still standing to the side, shaken and unsettled.
"You're Su Guohua?"
His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Su Guohua's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose within him. He nodded, trying to remain calm.
“I am. Comrade, you’ve come at the right time, this rebellious daughter…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by a square-faced policeman.
"Su Guohua, Lin Xiuzhen."
The police officer's gaze swept over Lin Xiuzhen, who was lying on the ground in a disheveled state.
"Based on reports from the public, you two are suspected of colluding with foreign businessmen to smuggle and resell rare national resources for a long period, seriously endangering national interests. Preliminary investigation has yielded conclusive evidence. You are now being formally arrested and are under investigation!"
"Come with us."
boom!
"Smuggling and reselling," "endangering national interests"... these words exploded in Su Guohua and Lin Xiuzhen's minds like thunderclaps.
Su Guohua's face turned deathly pale in an instant, completely devoid of color.
He's got it!
He thought of the ledgers and documents in the suitcase in that small villa in the suburbs!
Those things... how could they be...?
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his legs went weak, making it almost impossible for him to stand.
Lin Xiuzhen was so terrified that she forgot to cry, and just lay there dumbfounded on the ground, muttering to herself, "No...it wasn't me...I don't know anything..."
The square-faced police officer ignored their reaction and waved his hand.
"Cuff him!"
Two young police officers stepped forward, took out cold handcuffs, and with two sharp "snap" sounds, cuffed Su Guohua and Lin Xiuzhen's wrists respectively.
It wasn't until that cold touch came that the two of them snapped out of their daze.
"We're innocent! Officers! We're innocent!"
"I didn't! He forced me to do it! It has nothing to do with me!"
The two were terrified and bewildered, and began to struggle and try to explain themselves frantically.
However, it was all in vain.
Two policemen, one on each side, dragged them out like dead dogs.
This absurd farce finally came to an end, with neighbors peeking and watching.
Su Yue stood quietly to the side from beginning to end, her face expressionless.
She watched Su Guohua and Lin Xiuzhen being dragged away, seeing the despair and fear on their faces, but felt no emotion whatsoever.
it's all over.
She turned around, went back to her room—the only one that hadn't been "looted"—picked up a small suitcase she had already packed, and walked out of the place that had once trapped her and disgusted her without looking back.
The huge Su family mansion instantly became empty.
Lin Wan'er was left alone, sitting blankly on the cold floor.
Theft? Severing ties?
No, none of those are true.
It is treason.
Her father and mother were traitors!
This realization was like a heavy hammer, completely shattering all her understanding and pride.
She's finished.
Everything was over for her.
I lost my job, my home, my parents, and now I'm being sent down to the godforsaken Northwest...
On what grounds?
Why should that bitch Su Yue be able to go to Hainan Island to enjoy life while she has to end up like this?
A surge of venomous hatred welled up from the deepest recesses of her heart.
She suddenly scrambled to her feet, her eyes gleaming with madness.
We can't just let this go!
Absolutely not!
She's going to report it!
Report this to the Revolutionary Committee!
right!
That little bitch Su Yue must have hidden all the Su family's assets! All those gold bars! Antiques! US dollars!
She wanted to tell the Revolutionary Committee that Su Yue was a capitalist cancer hidden among the people! She was the tail left behind by the traitor Su Guohua!
She wanted to ruin Su Yue's reputation!
She wanted to make Su Yue vomit up everything she had eaten!
Even if it means going to hell, she'll drag Su Yue down with her!
