Coming out of Su Yu Niang's room, Su Xiaoxiao ran into Old Man Su and Su Jin Niang.
Old Master Su was checking accounts in the main room while Su Jinniang was making tea for him.
The old Su family owned a lot of land. They couldn't cultivate all of it at home, so they rented out some of it. Every year, the rent from the tenants alone was about 10 to 20 taels.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't specifically ask where these lands came from, but she had heard people in the village talk about it.
Thirty years ago, Grandpa Su's father exchanged his ancestral jade pendant for food to help his fellow villagers. In return, the village agreed to give the Su family a large piece of land.
Not to mention, the two acres of land of the Su family were bought from Grandpa Su.
When the two saw Su Xiaoxiao, they both showed...unequivocal disdain.
The people of the old Su family have looked down on the young Su family for more than a day or two. Su Xiaoxiao would not rush to curry favor with others.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't say hello to the two of them.
To be exact, she didn't even look at them.
Mr. Su frowned.
At this time, Su Yu Niang's father and eldest brother came back from Qianshui Village. They probably had something to say to Old Man Su, but because Su Pang Ya was present, they couldn't say it.
"Collect the account books." After giving Su Jinniang instructions, Mr. Su walked out with a serious face.
Only Su Xiaoxiao and Su Jinniang were left in the main room.
Su Jinniang obediently put away the account books on the table one by one. She had been learning how to read accounts from her grandfather during this period, and she actually had some little ideas in mind.
Since Su Pangya can recognize words, she is smarter than Su Pangya, so she must be able to do it!
The fact is, she has been "learning" from her grandfather for more than half a month, but the progress has not been smooth.
For one thing, Grandpa Su would not spend time and energy teaching his granddaughter to read.
The second reason is that Su Jinniang herself has no talent for learning.
But Su Jinniang would never admit that she was stupid.
She only hated herself for not marrying a good husband, otherwise she would have known more words than Su Pangya! "Don't come to my house if you have nothing to do!" Su Jinniang said coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao said with a half-smile: "You are very nosy. First you control what I wear, and now you control where I go. Who do you think I am?"
Su Jinniang said coldly: "This is my home, I don't welcome you here!"
Su Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "What's wrong with me coming here?"
Su Jinniang used to like Su Pangya hanging around her, because Su Pangya was fat and ugly. She would imitate her in dressing and walking, making her look like a fairy.
Things are different now.
Su Pangya became more beautiful and no one imitated her dressing style anymore. Instead, many people in the village began to imitate Su Pangya's hairstyle and jewelry.
Su Pangya tied her hair into a single bun, and they also did the same.
Su Pangya had two pigtails, and they also had theirs.
In the past, when she went to the well to fetch water, everyone would talk about her clothes and jewelry, but now it has become - "Pangya's clothes are so beautiful! Where did you buy the material? I'll go to town to buy some someday!"
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Su Jinniang did feel a huge sense of crisis.
As long as she got close to Su Pangya, Su Jinniang would become jealous for no reason.
"The account book is upside down." Su Xiaoxiao kindly reminded.
Su Jinniang was illiterate and didn't even notice that some of the account books were overturned.
"I know! You don't need to remind me!" Su Jinniang blushed and turned one of the account books over.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Not this one."
Obsessive compulsive disorder means I can’t stand it!
"The third one!"
Su Jinniang slammed the account book on the table and glared at Su Xiaoxiao: "Is it a big deal that you know a few words? You even came all the way to show off in front of me!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked puzzled: "Su Jinniang, are you sick? Do you feel accomplished showing off to me?"
In anger, she blurted out: "You are a slut who has been defiled by a wild man. What qualifications do you have to compare with me?"
"Who compared with you——"
etc.
Defile?
Wild man? Su Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly fell on Su Jinniang's face.
Su Jinniang realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly picked up the account book and walked away.
Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the table calmly: "Su Jinniang, stop right there and explain yourself clearly. What wild man? What defilement?"
She only has one man, and that is Wei Ting.
She and Wei Ting were husband and wife in name only. Even if they really slept together, it was just the deed of husband and wife and the joy of the boudoir. It was natural and there was no such thing as defilement.
So this wild man must not be Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Jinniang deeply and said, "Did you do what happened to Feng Guaizi?"
Su Jinniang's body stiffened.
She didn't look back and hurried to the backyard with the account book.
Seeing his guilty look, even a fool could tell that there was something fishy going on.
She said, she was just going to pick some wild vegetables, how could she run into Feng Guaizi?
Plus, Feng Guaizi came up the mountain empty-handed.
No one would stroll there unless Feng Guaizi wanted to block her on purpose.
But she always thought that Feng Guaizi was the one who followed her, and never thought of Su Jinniang.
Yes, before going up the mountain, she met Su Jinniang behind the kitchen of the old Su family, and Su Jinniang knew where she was going.
Su Xiaoxiao took two steps at a time to catch up.
Su Jinniang heard footsteps behind her and turned around in a panic, holding the account book: "Su Pangya, what are you doing!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her calmly: "It's you."
Su Jinniang's eyes flashed: "What is me? I don't understand what you are saying!"
Su Xiaoxiao said sarcastically: "You can't understand. Is it because your ears are not working well or your brain is not working well? Okay, I'll help you wash it."
“You—ah—”
Before Su Jinniang could finish her sentence, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her by the back of her neck and pushed her into the water tank in front of her! With a loud splash, Su Jinniang was pushed into the freezing cold water like a little chicken! Her arms trembled, and the account books in her arms fell to the ground! She struggled hard, but her strength was not enough in front of Su Xiaoxiao!
Su Xiaoxiao lifted her head up: "Su Jinniang, I'm giving you face, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
For the first time, Su Jinniang truly experienced the power of the little bully from the Su family. She really didn't understand how Su Yu Niang dared to fight with such a bully girl when she was a child.
She was extremely frightened, and was shivering all over, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear.
"Grandpa——Dad——"
She let out a pig-slaughtering cry for help.
"Oh."
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the person into the water again! Su Jinniang almost drowned in the water tank! There was no mercy in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Normally, she would be very talkative and would run to Wei Ting to show her presence, but it was just a little woman's trick and Wei Ting would not buy it.
But she actually set her sights on Feng Guaizi!
Feng Guaizi is a relative of the old Su family. How can Su Jinniang not know what kind of person he is? Although she is not afraid of Feng Guaizi, even if there are ten more of them, she will still knock them down, but she is disgusted by Su Jinniang's vicious thoughts! "Su Pangya, what are you doing! Let go of my sister!"
