“I still remember how they made such a scene at Nannan’s wedding. I didn’t cause them any trouble, but they dared to scheme against us.”
“I couldn’t stand being wronged when I was young, and I can’t go back to that now that I’m this old. If you can’t bear it, how about I do it?”
Guo Xuqing wasn't in a hurry at first, but seeing that her daughter had returned, she was afraid that her daughter would be implicated or harmed in the slightest.
"When have I ever been soft-hearted? It's just that the time isn't right yet. It will be soon, and it will definitely be resolved in the next day or two."
"I held onto a last sliver of hope and didn't go all out against them because I knew they weren't very capable."
"If I really wanted to mess with them, they wouldn't stand a chance. The only reason they're so arrogant is because they're my family."
"If I don't acknowledge this, then they are nothing but wicked people, so don't blame me for being unjust."
“I know what I'm doing. This is their last chance. I assure you, it will be over soon.”
Seeing her like this, Su's father told her the truth: he wouldn't let her suffer with him.
He didn't have that when he was young, and he certainly won't have it now. He also remembers the kindness his father-in-law and his family showed him.
He also knew that if it weren't for him, his family members would never have had the chance to show up in front of them; they were giving him face.
"That's good. I'm not forcing you. I'm just afraid they'll make a scene in front of Nannan." Guo Xuqing felt relieved after hearing him say that.
She also softened her tone considerably, knowing what kind of person he was and that he would definitely do what he said he would do.
Over the years, he has never failed to deliver on any promise he made to her, and she knew that this time he really wouldn't give them another chance.
Guo Xuqing had just felt a little relieved when, unexpectedly, he was caught off guard by those shameless people the very next day.
The Su family is now at their wits' end; they were never people with a conscience to begin with.
As things stand, they think that as long as they make a scene, Su's father and the Guo family will compromise.
They are all prominent figures, and they all care about their reputation.
With no way out, they stopped thinking about the consequences.
As for what Su's father had said before about sending them back to the countryside, they had long forgotten it.
"Big brother, please save us!" Su Lao Er and his family kept causing trouble at Su's father's workplace and the residential compound there.
Su's father and his family don't live over there, so nobody pays them any attention. They can't even get into the military compound here.
They managed to sneak in today during the guards' shift change.
They didn't even consider that with such strict security, how could they possibly find a chance to sneak in?
Knowing they didn't have much time left, they started making a scene without a care in the world.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan were awakened by this crying and commotion.
"What's wrong?" Suti was still groggy and didn't know where he was.
"It sounds like there's some trouble outside. Honey, you sleep a little longer, I'll go down and check it out." Li Baichuan thought for a moment; people from his wife's family wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
"I'm not sleeping anymore, I'll go downstairs with you and take a look." Suti instantly woke up and went home.
She hurriedly got dressed and followed Li Baichuan downstairs.
"Nannan, why are you all up so early? Where's the baby?" Guo Xuqing looked at the people in the room with growing impatience.
Mr. Su over there went in to get something and hasn't come out yet.
"They're still asleep upstairs. They woke up several times during the night, but they're sleeping soundly now. Mom, what happened?"
Suti looked at her grandmother and uncle's family standing there, along with her married and unmarried cousins.
Of course, there's also my uncle's precious son, who didn't even come to her wedding last time, but actually came this time.
Is this what her aunt meant by "weak body"? She's so fat she can barely walk, standing here with an arrogant look on her face, clearly unaware of her current predicament.
"It's nothing, just a bunch of shameless people." Guo Xuqing pulled them down to sit, not even glancing at the Su family members over there.
"Who are you calling shameless? I'm your mother-in-law. Don't you have any respect for elders or care for the young?"
“I told you back then that I couldn’t marry a daughter-in-law like you. What kind of daughter-in-law doesn’t stay at home to take care of her parents-in-law and lives at her parents’ house all the time?”
"I've put up with you for so long and suffered so much because you're an only child, and it would be good for your family if you helped the second child."
“We’re all family. Otherwise, how could you, a woman, manage to support the family? I can tolerate being wronged, but look at how cold-hearted your family is.”
"No matter what, we are still your family, your eldest son's own mother and brothers. Our family is in such a state, what's wrong with asking you to lend a hand?"
"You not only refuse to see us, but you also have people beat us up. Not long after that brat got married last time, the second brother and his gang were beaten up. We know it was your idea."
"Aren't you afraid of retribution, afraid of being struck by lightning?" This time, Old Mrs. Su didn't cry and wail as much.
Pointing his finger at Guo Xuqing's nose, he launched into a self-righteous lecture. Anyone unaware of the situation would think the Guo family was heartless.
"Grandma Su, don't put on airs with me. Your seniority won't work on me."
"What do you have that deserves my respect? From the moment I married into your family, I never asked for a single penny of your dowry."
"After that, I never ate a single meal from your family. On the contrary, your family managed to get a job out of the mountains thanks to the reputation and status left by my father and my brothers."
"I don't need to tell you how your youngest son got his job, do I? You know perfectly well what you're relying on to come to Shanghai and enjoy a comfortable life."
"Back when your father-in-law was still alive, you were all so young and you were already saying that you wanted us to take care of you in your old age. Do you really think I'm stupid? Who came up with that idea?"
"You all know who got that money. They're sucking the blood out of the Guo family, and then they look down on us for having no one to uphold the family name?"
"Women hold up half the sky. Aren't you afraid of being arrested for saying such reactionary things? With me and my children in the Guo family, you are nothing!"
"I won't even mention your family's trivial matters. You come to us when it comes to spending money, but when it comes to collecting money, you push us far away."
"This is what you call a family, what elders, and my two children? You've been acting like you haven't seen them all these years."
“When my daughter was three years old, it was the first time we went to your place. You were chatting with people at the door and asked, ‘Whose child is this? Why is such a little girl dressed in such nice clothes?’”
"You don't even recognize your granddaughter when she's three years old. Your first reaction is that she's dressed nicely. But have you spent your money on her food, clothes, and other necessities?"
Guo Xutong will remember this incident for the rest of her life. All the grievances her daughter has suffered were caused by the Su family.
