Su Xingran found it amusing. Su Wenli really had a silver tongue; even after things had escalated to this point, she could still find excuses to shift the blame onto others. "Cousin, you should go back. The matter was already clarified yesterday; there's no need to bring it up again today."
Xingran, don't you believe me? I really had no choice. So many people know I saved you, and I couldn't contradict them. I could only go along with them and admit that I saved you. I really didn't mean it. When has your cousin Xingran ever lied to you? This time, I was truly forced into it.
Su Xingran didn't want to waste her time with this kind of person. All this scheming and shameless hypocrisy was just an attempt to continue swindling her out of things. Over the years, she'd been tricked out of half her food, tricked into helping her gather pig feed, and even tricked her mother into buying her hair ties and notebooks. Thinking of all this, Su Xingran turned around, closed the door, and went back inside.
Slammed outside, Su Wenli's expression was twisted, her eyes filled with hatred. She was completely devoid of her usual polite smile and greetings. How dare this fool, whom she had always manipulated, treat her like this? Yesterday, because of her tarnished reputation and the gossip surrounding her, she hadn't dared to leave the house, only daring to come to her uncle's after most people had gone to work and her second uncle and aunt had left. Hmph, just wait. How could a fool possibly escape her grasp? She would forever remain someone she deceived, used, and used as a stepping stone.
Su Xingran had no idea what Su Wenli was thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. In any case, she would never fall for her tricks or be deceived by her again in this lifetime. She still owed her three lives. Even if Su Wenli didn't kill her parents with her own hands, she still indirectly caused their deaths. She would never reconcile with this person in this lifetime. After a while, she would definitely deal with those people in the old house.
Feeling bored at home, Su Xingran decided to go to Grandpa Huang's house to talk about collecting herbs, and then she set off immediately. She found a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) in the kitchen. This liquor was a gift from her father's employer when he went to town to do odd jobs, just before the New Year. Her father had always been reluctant to drink it, so he had kept it hidden in the kitchen. Luckily, he hid it well, otherwise the people from the old house would have taken it long ago.
She originally wanted to find something in the space to give to Grandpa Huang. But she was still young and her family didn't have anything good. Almost none of the items in the space were from this era. In fact, it might give her away, and if she couldn't explain where the items came from, she might be labeled as an enemy agent.
She decided to take her father's wine to Grandpa Huang. As for her father, she had wine in her spatial storage, some of it quite good; she could just give it to him then. She put the wine in her spatial storage and would take it out when she arrived at Grandpa Huang's house. If someone saw her on the way, taking something might cause trouble.
She walked to Dr. Huang's house and knocked on the courtyard gate. A voice came from inside, "Who is it?" "Grandpa Huang, it's me, Xingran."
Su Xingran glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then quickly took the wine out of her spatial storage and held it in her hand. The courtyard gate opened. "Xingran, what brings you here? Is your wound bothering you?" Doctor Huang asked her as soon as he saw her.
No, Grandpa Huang, I'm not feeling unwell. I just have something to discuss with you. Oh, is that so? Then please come in and speak.
The two walked into the courtyard one after the other. Su Xingran walked behind, leaving the courtyard gate open. She felt that although Grandpa Huang was over sixty years old, she was still a young woman, and in this day and age, rumors could crush a person. By leaving the gate open, passersby could see what was happening inside, thus preventing misunderstandings.
Please sit down, Xingran. What brings you here? Grandpa Huang, this is a bottle of wine I brought for you to thank you for treating me. My parents said you didn't charge for the consultation or the medicine, so they asked me to bring this wine to thank you.
