Su Wanti followed the head of the village to his home, and the head of the village handed her the small red cloth bag that Su Song had given him.
The cloth bag was only the size of an adult man's palm. The opening of the bag was sewn with red thread, and there was no sign that it had been opened.
The village head repeated to Su Wanti word for word what Su Song had said to him.
He added:
"Your father specifically gave this item to me for safekeeping, so it must be very important to him. I think he did this because he was afraid that it would be discovered by Old Man Su and the others. You must keep it well and don't let anyone else know."
Su Wanti weighed the small cloth bag. It was very light and thin, and there was nothing heavy inside.
After thanking the head of the village profusely, she hid the small cloth bag in her chest, said goodbye to the head of the village, and turned back home.
On the way home, without the village chief by their side, the villagers became bolder and more presumptuous towards Su Wanti.
Firstly, they felt that Su Wanti's behavior was too unorthodox, and they did not like such women.
Secondly, they all heard it while lying under the wall. Su Song was picked up by the Su family and had no blood relationship with the Su family. Su Wanti also severed ties with the old man Su's family under the order of the village head. So she had no one to rely on in Shanyan Village.
Who would be afraid of a woman who has no one to rely on?
What's more, he coveted the houses and land left by Su Song, and seeing that Su Wanti was young and beautiful, he wanted to marry her.
When the villagers saw Su Wanti coming over, they did not keep silent, but looked at her with teasing and contempt in their eyes.
The voice was neither too low nor too loud, just enough for Su Wanti's ears to reach.
"Su Song was picked up by Old Man Su, and she and Old Man Su are no longer related..."
"What about his house and land..." The person who spoke hesitated, his eyes shining with greed.
"Whoever marries her will own the house and the land."
"She has three younger brothers. How can her son-in-law decide her property?"
"Tsk, these three little brats under ten years old, whether they will grow up or not is still uncertain. Isn't the Su family planning to send them to the private mines..."
"Who dares to marry her? She can chop people with a knife!" Someone clicked his tongue, looking terrified.
Some people are simple-minded and extremely conceited, "No matter how powerful she is, she is still a woman. Marry her and give her a couple of beatings and she will be obedient."
…
Su Wanti's indifferent smile gave some greedy people the illusion that after she got married, she would be like other women in the village, submissive to her husband and obedient to her parents-in-law.
Su Wanti looked straight ahead, ignoring all the words and just smiling faintly, without looking murderous at all.
Not only do I chop people with a kitchen knife, I can also poison them! Tonight, I'm going to poison you, a bunch of people with dirty mouths and dirty minds. Even if the poison doesn't kill you,
She thought to herself while quickening her pace.
When I got home, my mother was already lying in bed. She couldn't accept the series of stimulations at noon.
The drastic mood swings in a short period of time caused her face to turn purple, she held her chest and gasped, and had difficulty breathing, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Su Wanti stood in front of her room for a moment, exchanged the appropriate medicine from the system, and then walked in with the medicine bowl.
"Mom, take some medicine." She looked concerned.
Zhang Hehua looked at her strong and resolute eldest daughter and smiled sadly, "Awan, I thought they were just greedy for money, but I didn't expect they wanted your lives..."
Brothels, illegal mines, child brides... I'm afraid that in less than three years, the children she has worked so hard to give birth to will die one after another.
She held Su Wanti's hand and said, "Awan, Mom is useless. My body is not in good condition anymore. I'm afraid I won't be able to support your brother until he can start a new household... From now on, this family depends on you."
Her tears flowed down and across the corners of her mouth, extremely bitter.
Su Wanti was silent for a moment, then handed the medicine bowl to her. "Mom, don't say anything discouraging. Drink the medicine."
She now behaves more like the head of the family than a daughter.
"Uh..." Zhang Hehua was stunned for a moment, then obediently took the bowl of medicine and drank it in small sips. Although she was slow, she still drank all the medicine.
After taking the last sip of the medicine, she put down the bowl and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"After you finish drinking, lie down and sleep. You will be cured when you wake up." Su Wanti's voice was soft, but it contained a command.
She knew that her mother's sorrow was caused by her illness. If she recovered, her mother would not be so sad.
After Su Wanti's mother lay down and fell asleep, she had lunch with her younger brother and sister.
Then she locked herself in the room and opened the small red cloth bag left by her father.
