Chapter 69: Things Have Come to This



Mr. and Mrs. Su love the fourth son's wife so much that she will definitely agree as long as she asks. Moreover, for the Su family, this is just a small matter and can be easily done, so as long as the fourth son's wife agrees, there will be no problem.

Su Wenyue also felt that Li was a little strange and too enthusiastic, which was completely beyond her imagination. Liu was not like Li. Li might be sincere, but there was no reason for Liu, who would not do anything without benefits, to be so attentive. Su Wenyue did not think that the little favors she usually gave to Liu could make her so attentive.

However, no matter what Liu's purpose was, Su Wenyue didn't care. As long as she didn't want to, no one could force her to do anything. Moreover, Liu was so attentive, especially her almost flattering attitude towards her parents. It was estimated that this matter was still related to the Su family, and sooner or later they would come to her. She just waited for Liu to come to her.

Mr. and Mrs. Su stayed at the Han family for less than an hour before they said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Mrs. An reluctantly gave her daughter earnest instructions and prepared gifts for her daughter's sisters-in-law, asking them to take good care of Su Wenyue, and so on. Of course, Mrs. Wang was automatically ignored by everyone, as no one from the Han family would be so tactless as to mention her, and it was already good enough that the Su family did not cause trouble for Mrs. Wang.

"Don't worry, dear master and madam, we are all family, there is no such thing as taking care of each other. We are not able to protect our fourth sister-in-law enough, so how could we possibly embarrass her? Don't worry, from now on, the affairs of our fourth sister-in-law are my affairs, and I will fight anyone who dares to say anything bad about her."

Li was not good at speaking, and even though she was grateful in her heart, she could only say thank you over and over again, and nothing else to say. However, Liu made a solemn promise in front of Mr. Su and Madam Su, and she almost opened her heart to show them her determination.

An was more kind to Li. She was an honest person. It would not be difficult to get along with such a sister-in-law, and he would not plot against her daughter. Although she smiled at Liu, there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. If it were not for her daughter, she would not bother to pay attention to such a person. However, the vulgarity and greed revealed on her face were much easier to deal with than those of Wang, a villain who schemed behind the scenes. She could control him with just a little bit of favor.

Watching the Su family's carriage leave, Li only showed gratitude on her face, while Liu was overjoyed and extremely happy. She didn't expect that Mrs. Su would specially prepare a gift for her. It was really polite.

Liu couldn't wait to go back to her room, and opened it impatiently in front of everyone. Inside were two pieces of silk and a box of powder and rouge. These were the most common things in the shop under the Su family, but in Liu's view, they were rare treasures that she had never used before.

"This is really, my in-laws are too generous, they gave me such a generous gift right away, how can I feel good about this, this is all thanks to my fourth brother's wife, otherwise how could a country woman like us use such a good thing, it is obviously a top-grade product, if I go to a store in the county town to buy it, I'm afraid it will cost several taels of silver, how can ordinary people afford it."

When Liu saw the things in the cloth bag, she smiled so widely that her eyes narrowed. She was thinking about the last time the daughter-in-law of the Sun family in the village showed off to her that the powder and rouge she used were bought from a shop in the county town, and she spent more than two hundred coins. It was not the low-quality powder sold by the country peddlers on their shoulders, but compared with the one given by her in-laws, it was just inferior stuff. She would show off to the daughter-in-law of the Sun family someday. Thinking of the envious and jealous look on the daughter-in-law of the Sun family's face, Liu felt so proud that she became more attentive to Su Wenyue.

After Mr. Su and Mrs. Su left, it was almost noon. Liu and Li were cooking lunch in the kitchen, while Su Wenyue took the supplements that An had brought and stewed them for her mother-in-law.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry about these things in the kitchen. I'm here. Just do your own thing and don't worry about these things. A lady who was brought up in such a pampered way, how could you do this kind of work." Liu was now thinking of ways to curry favor with Su Wenyue. Seeing that Su Wenyue was also busy in the kitchen, she took the initiative to speak.

"Don't say that, sister-in-law. We are all the same daughters-in-law of the Han family. I will not be lazy in doing what I should do. Besides, I also want to do something for my mother personally. It is my intention as a daughter-in-law."

Su Wenyue didn't respond to Liu's words. Now that Liu had gained the advantage, she would naturally give in to her in everything. If there was anything she was not satisfied with or there was a conflict of interest in the future, she might turn against her and bring this up again. Su Wenyue would not let Liu take advantage of this. Although she did not care much about other people's opinions, no one would dislike having a good reputation.

When Liu heard Su Wenyue say this, she stopped talking. She was also a daughter-in-law, so she naturally couldn't stop her from being filial to her mother-in-law, otherwise her mother-in-law would be dissatisfied.

Although Wang was in the room, she had been paying attention to what was happening outside. When she saw how Su Wenyue's family was treated when they came to the Han family, compared to the attitude of her mother and others, she felt indignant and angry. When she saw Madam Su giving gifts to bribe her mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law, she felt jealous and unwilling. Why was Su Wenyue so lucky?

But Wang is still worried about her eldest brother's affairs. Yesterday, Han Lin had a hard time stopping Han Yu who was going to report to the county government, and told him that he would give an explanation. Now he can't delay any longer. She is racking her brains over how to explain this matter to the Han family, so she doesn't dare to cause trouble for Su Wenyue at this time.

"Have you thought about how to tell your family? Your brother's matter can't be delayed any longer. When I went to beg the fourth brother yesterday, he had already said that if we can't get an explanation from the family today, he will go to the county government office tomorrow morning to report to the officials and bring the officials here in person. It would be fine if the officials don't find anything by then, but if they find out that it's your brother, it won't be easy to get out of the county government's jail. And you were obviously at home at the time. You could get away with it in front of your parents because of the baby in your belly, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy to talk to the officials. Don't let them arrest you as well."

"Well, what should I do? I'm pregnant. This is your Han family's child, your son. You can't just ignore me." After all, Wang was just a woman. Even if she had some opinions, she had never seen a big scene. When she heard that she would be questioned by the officials, how could she not be afraid? She lost her composure for a moment.

"At this point, what else can we do? Fortunately, Mom's injury is not serious. Let's go to Mom and Dad and confess the truth this afternoon. I wonder if Mom and Dad can forgive you this time?"
