In Guan Yumei's view, this matter could actually be resolved satisfactorily.
As long as Su Dazhi goes back to Wang'ao Village with her, returns the money and grain, apologizes properly to his third brother, tears up the malicious IOU, and then she marries the jinx into Wang Fengzi's family, the matter will be resolved.
It has to be said that her idea was wonderful, but the next second, Su Dazhi shattered this dream.
Upon seeing Guan Guoping, Su Dazhi was furious: "You little brat, how dare you come to my house?!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward and delivered a powerful kick.
Guan Guoping was kicked in the waist, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground along with his vehicle.
This was the first time in his life that his uncle had ever turned against him.
Guan Guoping's face turned purple: "Uncle! How dare you hit me! I'm about to become a resident of Beijing! I came to your house to give you face!"
"Even if you become an American, I'll still beat you up! You think you're so great? Your greatness is built on my money! You family of bloodsuckers have ruined my perfectly good family. Beating you up is the least I can do!"
Su Dazhi was furious. He looked around and began to search for a suitable tool.
A brick in the corner caught his attention.
Seeing that his uncle was serious, Guan Guoping quickly turned his bike around, mounted it, and rode off, not forgetting to shout back to Guan Yumei, "Auntie, don't forget what we talked about!"
Guan Yumei hurriedly called out, "Tomorrow and the day after, I remember!"
Su Dazhi threw the brick, but clearly held back his strength.
Everyone watched as the brick grazed the bicycle's taillight and fell to the ground.
Guan Guoping quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Guan Yumei then looked at Su Dazhi with resentment in her eyes: "Husband, after all these years, I've finally seen you for who you are... Your heart must be made of stone! You schemed against Yuzhu, altered the IOU, and did such a shameless thing. Didn't you think about whether my third brother and sister-in-law would tear me apart?"
"Paying back debts is a matter of course, how am I shameless?"
Su Dazhi looked at her, his eyes filled with sorrow: "Yumei, I truly regret marrying you. Back then, my mother said you were foolish and worried that the child you had would resemble you, but I was blinded by greed and argued with her. It's true what they say, you don't listen to your elders, and now you're suffering the consequences!"
Guan Yumei said anxiously, "I may be stupid, but my heart is good! Husband, even if we take a step back, Guoping is about to become successful. Are you out of your mind to break up with him at this time?"
"Promising?" Su Dazhi laughed loudly. "Guan Yumei, does your third brother's family not have a mirror? With Guan Guoping's idiotic appearance, how promising can he be?"
After laughing, his face instantly turned cold: "Yu Mei, think it over carefully. Now, you can only choose one: this family or your third brother's family!"
After saying that, he went back to the kitchen and started seasoning the large iron pot again.
Guan Yumei stood there, stunned for a few minutes, before remembering something and turning to rush towards the storage room.
Seeing that only Su Manao was inside tidying up, she asked suspiciously, "Where's the jinx?"
Su Manao shook her head while crying.
Guan Yumei felt annoyed whenever she saw Su Manao's swollen, dark face. She said impatiently, "Where's the jinx? Are you mute?"
Su Manao was heartbroken.
She hasn't eaten properly for several days.
Today, she stole a dollar from the chubby boy behind her and ate two bowls of soup noodles at the state-run restaurant without needing a fare, finally filling her stomach with water.
She was secretly pleased to see Guan Yumei return, thinking she could finally have a proper dinner. But when her mother came back, all she cared about was where Su Ruyi was.
Didn't she see that all her things had been moved into this cramped storage room?
Didn't she even think of asking why?
Seeing that Su Manao was just sobbing with her head down, Guan Yumei became even more irritated: "Manao! I'm asking you a question—where is that jinx?"
"I don't know," Su Manao said, her voice trembling with tears. "Mom, won't you even ask me why I moved here?"
But Guan Yumei left before she could finish speaking.
Then, Guan Yumei spotted Su Yin at a glance.
Su Yin leaned against the courtyard wall, staring straight at her.
Guan Yumei's eyes darted away for a moment—she had blamed him for losing the money, the household registration book, and the industrial vouchers.
How did he... end up back?
Su Yin saw the evasive look in Guan Yumei's eyes, and her heart turned even colder—it was indeed Guan Yumei who had signed up for her to go to the countryside.
He called out to Guan Yumei, "Mom, you don't know yet, do you? My eldest sister got married!"
He was determined to pierce Guan Yumei's heart.
He knew that Guan Yumei always had her own plans for this silly older sister.
First, he coaxed her into working for ten years, handing over every penny of her salary to her, and then he planned to find someone with a high dowry to marry her off.
Unfortunately, Su Zhenzhu's circumstances were too poor, and Guan Yumei couldn't bear to part with her salary, so she remained unmarried until she was 25.
Some time ago, he overheard Guan Yumei asking about the old bachelor with only one leg who lived across from the tailor Aunt Zhou.
He heard that the old bachelor was determined to find a virgin!
The matter ultimately fell through because she was dissatisfied with the bride price.
Sure enough, upon hearing the word "marriage," Guan Yumei's eyes widened in anger, and she turned to Su Zhenzhu: "Eldest sister! Is what your third brother said true?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhu walked up to Guan Yumei, her chin almost touching Guan Yumei's nose: "None of your business!"
Su Zhenzhu had never been so disobedient. Guan Yumei was a little confused by her actions and froze on the spot.
However, at this moment, Su Zhenzhu had already walked towards Su Yin and kicked him, hitting the bullseye.
