You brat, since you already know what the powder is, just tell me so I can die knowing why. Let me know how I, Aunt He, who's been so clever for over fifty years, managed to fall for a greenhorn like you.
Su Xingran walked to the doorway. Her parents stood on either side of her; her mother held a kitchen knife, and her father held a wood-chopping axe. From the moment they entered the room, Su Xingran had no intention of letting them leave easily.
Hearing what Aunt He said, Su Xingran glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still slumped on the ground. "Fine, since you want to know, I can tell you. I hope you won't be reborn as a human in your next life, because you are too wicked, your methods are too cruel."
They came to my house and put talisman ash in my water glass, talismans in my pockets, and talismans in the corner of the room that day. Su Xingran pointed to the two people on the ground. When I came back that night, I found the water in my glass was dirty. After showering and putting on my pants, I went back to my room and found talismans in my pocket. This was the first time I realized someone was targeting me.
The only reason someone would resort to talismans is because they think I'm unlucky or possessed by evil spirits. My family has always been good at avoiding conflict and has a good reputation. The only exceptions are my grandmother and aunt, because I exposed their granddaughter and daughter for deceiving and impersonating my savior.
Because of this incident, they asked for money but we refused. After the truth was revealed, my cousin Su Wenli's reputation in the village was ruined. So they felt that I had changed and was no longer the person who let Su Wenli deceive me.
They even came to my door, tried to steal my things, provoked me, and drove me into a daze, which I then beat up. This made them think I was different from before. When my father asked them for the family division agreement, they felt that my parents were no longer like they used to be, allowing themselves to be exploited, and so they demanded it.
So, based on these events, I concluded that the people I should choose are my grandmother and my aunt. Tonight, my grandmother brought over a jar of chicken soup. In all these years, she has never done anything like this for our family. Let alone chicken soup, we can't even get a needle from them.
Suddenly offering chicken soup out of kindness—what else could it be but something fishy? Being too attentive raises suspicion. As the saying goes, "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft," and this family is a perfect example.
So we wouldn't drink a drop of the soup they brought us. Later, we discovered that the soup was drugged. So we decided to play along and see what they were up to.
I can't believe it! Even though the leaders have said to break with feudal superstitions, my dear grandmother and aunt still believe in these things. Grandma, aunt, do you think my parents and I have changed? Don't you ever think about how outrageous you've been? You came to my parents' house and forced them to give you 100 yuan, and that was because Su Wenli impersonated someone else—you found an excuse to come to their door and ask for it from my savior.
One hundred dollars? Don't you know how long it takes a poor family to save up that much? You do know, but you don't care whether we live or die. So why do you think we should keep tolerating your endless demands?
When people are driven to their breaking point, or subjected to prolonged oppression, they reach a point where they can no longer endure it. It's not that we've changed, but rather that we no longer want to endure it. Grandma, Aunt, don't worry, we won't easily let you leave this house, since you both enjoy coming here so much.
