"Guan Yumei! How many times have I told you, stop using 'jinx' all the time!"
Su Dazhi sighed, "And besides, can you at least look forward to these little brats crawling out of your belly?"
Guan Yumei stood there dumbfounded: "But...didn't you call her that before too?"
"That was before!"
Su Dazhi glared at her. "Sixth Sister is about to become the wife of the supply and marketing cooperative director! With Chen Weixing's abilities, Sixth Sister is like a sparrow flying up a branch—she's about to become a phoenix! At this time, why aren't you clinging to this girl? After she gets married, will she still think about you, her mother?"
"No matter who she marries, she's still the child I gave birth to!"
Guan Yumei retorted, "She can't just disown me as her mother, can she? Anyway, I don't care. If she wants to enjoy life on her own, that's impossible! I'll make her life a living hell!"
"Alright, alright! You're getting more and more carried away! You stupid woman!"
Su Dazhi immediately lost all interest in lecturing her. "Since Lao Liu isn't here, you'd better clean up the drain quickly. I can't stand the smell!"
"Tch! It smells awful, but you'll find it delicious later!"
Guan Yumei had no choice but to carry the drain into the kitchen and start cleaning.
She was secretly delighted—Su Dazhi hadn't insisted on kicking her out again, which meant there was room for reconciliation between him and her third brother.
In Su Dazhi's view, Guan Yumei's purchase of pig offal to apologize proved that she had finally made her choice—to sever all ties with Guan Yuzhu.
Therefore, misunderstandings always snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
But this time, Guan Yumei really had no chance anymore, because Su Jin had already arrived in Wang'ao Village.
In the morning, Su Jin followed behind Su Dazhi. When he heard the factory manager say that he had been given a day off, he hid in the shadows of the corridor and heard that Chen Weixing wanted to marry Su Ruyi. He stood there for a long time.
Su Jin felt that the opportunity had arrived.
According to Su Jin, the reason Guan Yumei signed him up to go to the countryside was entirely because his mother didn't want to pay for his official employment.
Because her biological mother wanted to use this money to subsidize her third uncle's family.
At this moment, Su Jin's idea was also very simple—to completely break up his third uncle with his biological mother.
Once a mother loses the bloodsucking influence of her maternal family, she should be kinder to her child, right?
In that case, the family's money, especially Su Ruyi's dowry, should be used first to help him get married, right?
After all, he was the eldest son.
In the past, the emperor's eldest son was the only child to inherit the throne.
His father was incompetent, which is why he only married one wife. Therefore, he is rightfully entitled to enjoy the family's resources first.
Su Jin didn't go to Guan Yuzhu's house, but went to the field and found Guan Yuzhu working there.
"Second son? What brings you here? Didn't your mom say she was bringing your little sister Ruyi?"
Guan Yuzhu looked up, wiping his sweat, and asked a question while glancing behind him.
Su Jin was stunned for a moment.
He originally intended to tell Guan Yuzhu that if he dared to ask his mother for money again, he would report the old man Guan's embezzlement when he was the village accountant to the county.
The old steward has now retired, and his youngest son, Guan Yuhe, has become the village accountant—which is one of the reasons why Village Chief Wang is so wary of the steward.
Back in the old housekeeper's days, Village Chief Wang and he conspired to commit many corrupt and illegal acts.
The two later had a conflict over the division of the spoils. Since neither of them was clean and neither could withstand investigation, and neither of them was willing to risk their lives by reporting the other.
This is a delicate balance of power.
However, Su Jin did not belong to either side; his goal was to make Guan Yuzhu and Guan Yumei completely break up.
Of course, after doing this, he wasn't sure how much his family would be affected.
He knew he was going to get a beating, but he figured he could grit his teeth and get through it.
But nowadays, it seems that we don't need to do that anymore.
He vaguely replied to Guan Yuzhu, "Um, they... let me go first."
"Why did I bring you here first?" Guan Yuzhu asked curiously. "We agreed that Wang Fengzi's family would be looking after Su Ruyi. What are you here for? Are you here to look after you?"
I see!
Su Jin understood instantly.
Guan Yuzhu had his eye on Su Ruyi, that jinx!
But when Su Ruyi married into this family, didn't all the dowry end up in Guan Yuzhu's pocket?
no!
It must be mashed right away!
He rolled his eyes and said, "Third Uncle, actually, my mother asked me to tell you something—my sixth sister is no longer interested in dating those crazy Wang or crazy Li men. My mother has found her a good marriage in the city! She's marrying a high-ranking official!"
Guan Yuzhu threw away his sickle and climbed up the ridge of the field.
He pointed at Su Jin, panting, and said, "What did your mother say? Tell me again!"
Su Jin said helplessly, "Third Uncle, is it meaningful for you to make things difficult for a junior like me? My mom and dad both said that Su Ruyi will not marry any crazy man, she wants to marry a high-ranking official!"
Guan Yuzhu's face turned black with anger: "Fine! Fine! What a Guan Yumei! What a Su Dazhi! I shamelessly offered the bride price! And now she says she won't marry me? In that case, from now on, we, her poor relatives in the village, should have no further contact!"
Su Jin smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I understand, Third Uncle. Then I'll pass on your message to my mother."
Guan Yuzhu: "Don't call me Third Uncle anymore, we're not relatives!"
Su Jin's smile faded: "Alright then."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Guan Yuzhu watched his retreating figure, cleared his throat loudly, and then spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm that seemed to shake the heavens and earth: "Pah! What is that!"
