When Su's mother saw that Su's father still wouldn't agree to take the money, she resorted to her ultimate move: threatening to hang herself at his doorstep. She figured it was normal for such an ungrateful person to drive her mother to her death. Just as Su's parents were about to give in and agree...
"Grandma, are you trying to kill my parents by hanging yourself at our doorstep for my uncle's sake?" Su Xingran's weak voice came from the doorway. Although her voice was soft, anyone near the door could hear it.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you good-for-nothing? It's a miracle you didn't fall to your death from the mountains. What are you doing here looking like a short-lived ghost?" Old Mrs. Su glared with her triangular eyes and cursed viciously.
"Mother, what you're saying is wrong. Ranran isn't going to die young. You're her grandmother, how can you talk about your granddaughter like that?" Su's mother was so angry that she didn't care that Ranran was an elder and questioned her.
"You, the second son's wife, are a hen that can't lay eggs, not even a male offspring. Do you have the right to speak? Second son, you should divorce her right now. Our family can't tolerate someone like that," Old Mrs. Su continued to hurl insults.
Su's mother was so angry that her eyes reddened. Over the years, what she had heard most often was that her daughter was a barren hen, unable to produce a son, and should be divorced. Su Xingran stood beside her mother, supporting her with her hand and whispering, "Mother, don't listen to what she says. You are the best mother to me, and the best wife to Father." Her father loved her mother so much that he even died for her in their past life.
Su Xingran was too lazy to waste her breath and time arguing with this old woman, so she directly turned her attention to Su Wenli. "Cousin, I heard you say inside that you saved me? That you carried me up from the bottom of the forest and had someone call my parents to bring me home?"
Xingran, you're finally awake! Your cousin was so worried about you. We were catching pheasants with the villagers that day, weren't we? Then I realized you were missing, so I went to look for you. When I arrived, I saw you rolling down the mountainside. There was no one else around, so I had to go down to find you. When I found you, you were bleeding a lot. I was afraid you'd die, so I gritted my teeth and carried you up the mountainside. I couldn't carry you home, so I had to find someone to tell Uncle and Aunt. Xingran, do you suspect me? Why are you asking me this?
Looking at Su Wenli in front of her, Su Xingran felt a bit self-deprecating but couldn't help but admire her. Su Wenli was only 15 years old, yet she had such good cunning and speaking skills. No wonder she was so easily fooled in her previous life. She thought that her death was not only due to her own stupidity, but also because Su Wenli was so skilled and her disguise was too perfect.
"What do you mean, you good-for-nothing? Like your parents, you don't want to acknowledge Wenli for saving your life?" Old Mrs. Su jumped up again. "Su Xingran, is this how your parents taught you to be ungrateful and ungrateful?" Old Mr. Su pointed at Su Xingran. "Xingran, you're no match for my Wenli, you can't compare to her," Uncle Su said smugly, looking at Su's parents.
Xingran, don't blame your aunt for scolding you. Your parents are ungrateful wretches, and you're the little ungrateful wretches too. Humph, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and give me the money. If you don't have it, borrow it, or exchange it for work points. In short, you must give me the money today.
