"Xiao Wan, how can you talk to your elders like that?"
Zhou Man, thinking herself an elder, constantly found fault with Su Yinwan.
She just couldn't stand how Su Yinwan could marry into a wealthy family while her daughter couldn't.
Looking at Rong Jing sitting next to Su Yinwan, he exuded an aura of royalty.
Zhou Man stared at him for a long time; this was the son-in-law she truly wanted.
Her daughter deserves to marry such a wealthy and noble man.
So, she made a decision in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, Su An could never compare to Su Yinwan in anything.
In terms of grades, one is at the top, and the other is at the bottom.
In terms of appearance, one was naturally beautiful, while the other was plain-looking;
In terms of popularity, one is showered with love and affection, while the other is an obscure nobody.
As members of the Su family, why is Su An so much worse than Su Yinwan?
Zhou Man will never admit that it's a problem with her parenting.
Her education of Su An was always about how to please people, how to be pitiful, and how to marry into a wealthy family.
Su's mother had kindly advised her that Zhou Man's educational methods would completely ruin Su An's life.
No, Zhou Man felt that Su's mother looked down on her and was deliberately showing off her good parenting skills.
Ever since Zhou Man retorted with harsh words, Su's mother stopped meddling in other people's business and couldn't be bothered to try and win her over.
"Enough, Xiaoman, what exactly did you come here for today?"
Looking at his jealous eldest daughter-in-law, Old Master Su wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Her arrival completely ruined the warm atmosphere that had just been there; it was truly disappointing.
"It was Ah Ming who asked me to deliver the tea to Dad. I'll leave as soon as I finish. As for these dumplings, I really don't like them."
If Su Ming hadn't been busy and insisted that she come over to deliver the tea that Old Master Su liked, she wouldn't have come to the old house.
And we didn't get anything of value.
The thought of her good-for-nothing husband filled Zhou Man with anger again.
She originally thought that marrying him would guarantee her a carefree and glamorous life.
Indeed, in the first year or two of their marriage, Su Ming gave her a great deal of confidence.
They held a grand wedding in the north of the city, and also hosted a lavish banquet at her parents' home for several days and nights.
Everyone praised Zhou Man for her good fortune in finding such a wealthy family, and for living the life of a noblewoman from then on.
After getting married, Zhou Man often took money from the Su family back to subsidize that bloodsucking family.
Seeing the Zhou family's completely different attitudes made her feel very proud.
The money for the Zhou family's two new houses, as well as the money for his younger brother's wedding and the purchase of a new house, was all taken from Su Ming by Zhou Man.
Su Ming's business was booming in those years, so he didn't pay much attention to the small amount of money Zhou Man gave to her family, and turned a blind eye to it.
Later, due to failed investments, Su Ming accumulated a large amount of debt.
Not only did they use the houses they bought before marriage to offset their debts, but they also received a lot of subsidies from Grandpa Su and Su's father.
The decline of her family's fortunes caused Zhou Man to fall from her peak to the dust, which she naturally could not accept.
So, she spent her days at home berating Su Ming for being useless.
Not only did he not give her a good life, he also made her bear huge debts with him.
The thought of going from a large house of several hundred square meters to living in a small and dark bungalow made Zhou Man's temper even more irritable.
She would start cursing at the drop of a hat, not only at her husband, but also at her children, and even at the entire Su family.
That year, Grandpa Su bought three houses.
Considering the hardships faced by the eldest son's family, they gave Su Ming's family one of the slightly larger four-bedroom, two-living-room apartments.
The second son's family had no objections and even agreed.
Zhou Man's attitude softened for quite some time, and she often bought gifts and fruit for the old man.
After that, she whispered in Su Ming's ear and persuaded the old man to give him a large sum of money.
That money allowed Su Ming to find a small business in Beicheng, barely enough to make ends meet.
If Zhou Man hadn't been so extravagant and driven by vanity, their family's standard of living could have been considered middle-class.
Unfortunately, she was a spendthrift woman.
Su Ming regretted it inwardly, but he had no choice but to endure such a life.
"Alright, just put the tea leaves on the coffee table. If there's nothing else, you can go back now."
Grandpa Su didn't say anything tactful; he directly told them to leave.
“Then I’ll go back and stew the bird’s nest that Su Zhe specially bought for me. Only I am so lucky. It’s better to have a son.”
Before leaving, Zhou Man couldn't help but boast to Su's mother.
Su's mother only gave birth to two daughters, Su Yumo and Su Yinwan, and did not give Su's father a son.
Zhou Man constantly used the fact that Su's mother couldn't give birth to a son to openly and subtly mock her.
Su's mother didn't take it seriously and didn't bother to argue with her.
Su's father was also an open-minded person.
He loves all his children, regardless of gender.
After Su's mother gave birth to Su Yinwan, Su's father, seeing how painful it was for her to give birth, refused to let her have any more children.
He felt sorry for her.
If he could, Su's father would rather bear these pains for Su's mother.
"Come on, keep eating dumplings, they're getting cold."
Father Su broke the mood and continued to take care of Grandpa Su and Mother Su.
"Don't mind what just happened. That's just how my aunt is. She won't feel comfortable unless she picks a fight with someone every day."
Su Yinwan turned her head and patiently explained the Su family's little troubles to Rong Jing.
"It's okay, she's not someone important to you, I don't care about her, hurry up and eat."
Rong Jing naturally didn't take Zhou Man's shrewish outburst seriously.
As for what she looked like, Rong Jing never looked up at her from the beginning.
It's clear that this person is really not important at all.
Meanwhile, Zhou Man rushed home in a panic.
She made a phone call to Su An, who was working as a saleswoman at a luxury goods store in Chengdu.
Once the call connected, Zhou Man couldn't wait to say, "An'an, ask the store manager for leave and come back right now."
"Mom, what are you talking about? How am I supposed to go back? You just told me to take time off to go on a blind date a few days ago. It hasn't been that long. The manager definitely won't agree."
"If she doesn't approve your leave, you might as well just quit and come back."
"Mom, are you crazy? Didn't you insist that I work at this luxury store in the first place? You just quit like that? All your efforts have been wasted!"
Su An didn't understand her mother's actions and felt somewhat resentful.
“Listen to your mother, quit your job and come back. You don’t need this month’s salary. As long as you come back, I will find a way to help you find a rich husband. Then you will be that high-class customer in the luxury store.”
"Really? Don't lie to me. Also, I don't want those old bastards anymore, they're both lewd and disgusting."
Su An, relying on her good looks, had many requirements for the wealthy men she chose.
"No, no, this is top-quality, and it's a perfect match for you."
