As long as she obediently listens to her parents, no one will scold her anymore for being a child born of a mother but not raised by a father.
Aunt Zhang was heartbroken and stopped caring about Su Qian, allowing Su Liye's family to move into the Su family home.
Looking at the exquisite jewelry left behind by Lin Baozhu, Chen Wen couldn't help but sigh and said, "Qianqian is so lucky. Look at these fine items. Your sister and I have never seen anything like them in our entire lives."
Looking at the ornaments on the table, Su Qian said shyly, "Since Mother likes them, I'll give them all to Mother and my sister."
"How can you do this? These were all left to you by the Madam."
Upon hearing this, Su Qian felt even more that Chen Wen was thinking of her, and she quickly said, "Now that you are my mother, it is only right that I entrust these things to you for safekeeping."
Chen Wen pretended to think deeply, and after a moment she said, "Then I will keep it for you for a while, and return it to you after you get married." After a pause, she added, "The house is really simple now, so I'm afraid you and Xin'er will have to share a room tonight."
Su Qian didn't care. The next day, Su Xin got up, dressed, and said with a hint of grievance, "I'm a terrible sleeper at night, and I'm afraid I might disturb your sleep, sister."
Her eyes were blurry with tears. "Mother, why don't you help me clean out the pigsty? I'll go in tonight."
Upon hearing this, Su Liye frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? You've had a nanny teach you since you were little, how could you have a bad sleeping posture?"
Listening to their conversation, Su Qian understood that Su Xin wanted to move to the pigsty because she was a restless sleeper and couldn't sleep at night.
Looking at her younger sister, who was as gentle as water, she gritted her teeth and said, "I disturbed your sleep. Later, I'll move to the pigsty."
The pigsty is connected to a wall in the backyard, but only three sides of the wall are built. It's really cold in winter, and now it's autumn.
Su Qian stayed inside for one night, but couldn't take it anymore. She was too embarrassed to bother Su Liye, so she went to the Shang family.
When Aunt Zhang saw her, she didn't give her a friendly look. "What are you doing here?"
She's such a heartless child, and Aunt Zhang doesn't want to deal with her anymore.
Su Qian shrank back and said, "I would like to ask Brother Tian to help me build a wall."
Seeing her shivering from the cold, Aunt Zhang couldn't bear it and called Shang Tian to go to her house to help. But when they got to the backyard, they found that Su Qian was sleeping in the pigsty.
She felt like she was about to explode with anger. She grabbed her things, rushed to the front yard, and threw them at Su Liye. "Su Liye, how dare you let A Qian live in a pigsty!"
Get out of here, right now.
"Get out of here, you whole family!"
Su Qian rushed to the front yard and saw Su Liye's disheveled appearance. Her eyes reddened. "Auntie, how could you talk to my father like that?"
Seeing that Su Qian was still protecting Su Liye, Aunt Zhang felt that her sincere heart had been wasted. Who was she doing this for?
Why can't I talk to him like this?
He lives in your house and uses your things, yet he drives you to the pigsty.
Does he feel guilty?
“This is a family matter,” Su Qian said, her voice hardening.
Shang Tian tugged at Aunt Zhang's arm and said, "Mom, let's go."
This is someone else's family matter.
Normally, Aunt Zhang would never have left, but this time, she let Shang Tian pull her along.
This is their family matter, what does it have to do with her?
She felt wronged for someone. She wanted to protect Su Qian, but Su Qian was unwilling to protect her anymore. What could she do?
When they arrived at the Shang family home, Aunt Zhang hugged Shang Tian and burst into tears.
"Miss has raised her for nothing."
Shang Tian also disapproved of Su Qian's ungrateful behavior. He gently patted Aunt Zhang's back, letting her cry until she was done, before saying, "Mother has repaid all the debts she owed them."
From now on, Mother, you shouldn't interfere in their family affairs.
Never mind...
Thinking of the shabby pigsty, which didn't even have a bed, and with the weather already getting cold, Su Qian could only huddle in that drafty place. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Shang Tian sighed and said, "No matter how much Mother does for her, she will always feel it's her duty."
Now that she has parents, they will take care of these things for her.
Shang Tian deliberately emphasized the words "parents," and Aunt Zhang, recalling how Su Qian protected Su Liye, finally nodded and said, "Don't let her die."
"Alright." Seeing that Aunt Zhang had made up her mind, how could Shang Tian refuse? "Leave everything to me, Mother. I'll go and build the wall for her right now."
Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "If we don't have enough money, we'll take it from home."
Shang Tian simply agreed, but only took some straw and went up the mountain to dig up some stones and yellow mud, and then built a wall for Su Qian.
Looking at the empty doorway, Su Qian couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tian, could you make me a door?"
Shang Tian looked at her coldly, "You haven't paid me for the wall yet, and you want the door?" After saying that, Shang Tian packed his things and went directly to Su Liye to demand the payment for building the wall.
Seeing that the man was tall and strong, Su Liye didn't dare to provoke him and obediently paid the money.
Seeing that Su Liye was furious, Su Xin comforted him, saying, "Father, don't be angry. My sister only hired people to build the wall because she was afraid it would be cold at night."
For the past ten years or so, my sister has gotten used to our father's absence.
She simply hadn't thought of it for a moment, which is why she forgot to tell her father.
Her words of persuasion only fueled Su Liye's already intense anger, which now reached its peak. "That wretched girl, she won't rest until she's driven me to my grave!"
"If there's anything, why can't you tell me first?" With that, he stood up and strode towards the backyard.
