Suti urged everyone on, listening to the commotion outside, guessing that the feast would be over soon.
It's time to get her things back.
"What is it?" Wei Baichuan seemed to have thought of something, his ears instantly turned red, and slowly his whole face turned red.
Suti was stunned by his expression, then realized what he meant and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Slow down, chew slowly, otherwise it's bad for your stomach," Suti hurriedly advised, watching the person wolfing down their food.
After Wei Baichuan finished eating, she went out with him.
"Is Wei Lao Er's wife awake?" A sharp-eyed aunt called out when she saw someone.
"Oh, Sister Suti, you're awake? Are you feeling better? If you're really not feeling well, you should go back to bed."
Su Nianyou was also taken aback when she saw Su Ti. Just a moment ago, Su Ti was extremely weak, but now her complexion looked much rosier.
Su Nianyou was dissatisfied. Today was her wedding day, her special day. Wouldn't it be bad luck for her to come out as a sickly person?
"I'm really not feeling well and wanted to drink some brown sugar water, but then I realized my dowry was all gone, so I rushed out to look for it. Sister, have you seen it?"
Suti looked at the pretentious person, as if today's banquet was all hers and she was afraid that she would come out and steal her thunder.
"Sister Su, what brown sugar? I don't see it. Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Su Nianyou paused and quickly gave her a look.
This was a secret code between the two sisters; she knew Su Nianyou wanted her to speak later.
But this time she wouldn't let her have her way. She was going to tear off Su Nianyou's first disguise when everyone was around.
"How could I be mistaken? I just saw someone carrying those things into your room. Could they have made a mistake?"
"You're the one who made me write to my family to ask for a dowry. My parents know I'm getting married, and they've prepared a lot of things for me. Have you forgotten?"
“I know your family is struggling. You have nine children and no one to take care of you. Now that we've all started our own families, you can't expect me to support you like before.”
"I gave you all the food and drink I had before. I thought it wouldn't matter if I went hungry a little, since your family was struggling financially."
"That won't work now. Once you're married, you're two separate families. You should pay me back the money you borrowed from me before, right?"
“I don’t care, but I’m afraid my mom will find out and come looking for trouble with your family again. You know my mom’s temper, and my aunt will definitely cause you trouble then.”
Su Ti watched as Su Nianyou tore apart the image of a wealthy heiress that Su Ti had previously pretended to have, word by word.
"My goodness, what does Wei Lao Er's wife mean by that? So Wei Lao San's wife is a poor wretch?"
"Nine babies in one family? Isn't that like an old sow? I didn't know city people could have so many babies!"
"How could this be so despicable? You're using your sister's things to support yourself, and look how fat and bloated you've become, while your sister is so thin."
"Yeah, what kind of sister is that? She's a cousin from another branch of the family, and this marriage was only arranged for her sister after she had rejected the other options. She's really ruthless!"
The team members, always eager for a good show, started pointing and whispering at Su Nianyou before she could say anything more.
"Sister Suti, are you out of your mind? How can you say that to me? You're in poor health, and I've been doing all the work in the fields for you."
“I’ve been taking care of you since you came here. The food you gave me was just because you felt bad about it and saw how much work I did for you.”
Su Nianyou was furious. She never expected that Su Ti, that brainless person, would say such a thing in front of so many people.
Looking at the way her husband and mother-in-law were looking at her, she knew she couldn't accept it, and she wouldn't return the money and things.
"Isn't it only right that you help me with the work? After all, it was you who secretly signed up, which forced me to go to the countryside."
“I was afraid that my parents would cause trouble for you, so I kindly kept it a secret for you. You said you were afraid to go to the countryside alone and asked me to accompany you, and you also said you would take good care of me.”
Seeing that Su Nianyou was panicking, Su Ti thought, "Why not just peel another layer of skin off her?"
"How could Wei Laosan's family be so vicious? So it was all her scheme to send us to the countryside? How dare she complain about being wronged?" The team members discussed even more intensely.
“Sister, I won’t make you vomit up what you ate. You have to return my dowry and the money you owe me.”
Su Ti ignored everything else and went straight to Su Nianyou's new house to move her things.
"Brother Baichuan, come help me." Su Ti glanced at the furnishings in the room. The furniture and bedding were all brand new, while their wedding room was dilapidated.
This family is a real scoundrel.
"Okay, okay." Wei Baichuan was overjoyed when he heard his wife call him "Brother Baichuan" and hurriedly ran over.
“These are things from Baidao’s house. You, as his sister-in-law, went into his house to take things. Aren’t you afraid people will laugh at you?”
Wei Baidao's mother, Huang Cuifen, had been watching for a long time, and even though she was angry that after all that picking and choosing, she had picked out a penniless man for her youngest son.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch her younger son's family suffer. What's wrong with the older brother and sister-in-law giving way to their younger brother's family?
They're so immature. Why can't they talk about things behind someone's back? They have to make it public so people can laugh at them.
“Mother-in-law, I know you’re anxious, but please don’t worry. I’m just taking back my own dowry. No one can say anything about it, not even if you ask me to.”
Suti didn't even glance at her, and went straight to her dowry chest.
She paid for this box herself when she first arrived here, and many of the things inside were sent by her parents.
In her past life, she discovered that her dowry had been made incorrectly and came to find Su Nianyou, but Su Nianyou said that things in the bridal chamber couldn't be moved because it was bad luck.
