Chapter 35: Finding Trouble



Su Luo and Gu Yi returned home, just finished cleaning up and had lunch.

Su Jincai came to her house with an aggressive look on his face, as if he wanted to tear down her house.

Gu Yi was frightened by the sound of kicking the door, but still bravely stood in front of Su Luo: "Mom, don't be afraid..."

Su Luo patted him soothingly: "Mom is fine, there might be a fight soon, don't come out"

Gu Yi looked at her hesitantly.

Su Luo rubbed his head and said, "My dear, be obedient and don't hold me back. Go from the back and invite the village chief. If there are some uncles in the village chief's family who are well-dressed and don't look like people from our village, invite them as well."

Today is the fifteenth day of the month. According to usual circumstances, there should be commune cadres coming down to inspect the village chief's home today.

Only then did Gu Yi nod.

Su Luo pushed the door open and Gu Yi sneaked out from the back door and headed towards the village chief's house.

"Su Luo! You are such a money-loser, you are so rebellious. You dare to hit your mother, get out here!" Su Jincai kicked over the drying cart and the bamboo pole for drying clothes in the yard while cursing.

Su Luo pushed the door open and looked at Su Jincai, who looked like he was the most awesome person in the world. "What are you doing here?"

Following Su Jincai came Guo Xiu, Su Sheng and Li Cuicui.

When the neighbors saw this huge group of people, they knew there was something interesting to watch. They didn’t take naps after dinner, but stood at their doorsteps and stretched their necks out of curiosity.

"What's going on? Why is Su Jincai here showing off so much?"

"Need I say more? Come and beat my daughter! I've already entered Su Luo's house."

"Why are you beating your daughter again? What happened? Hasn't Su Luo been very well behaved recently? She gets up early every day to go out with Niu Fang to do business!"

"I heard this morning that Su Sheng's wife wanted to help with the business, but Su Luo refused. Since the negotiations failed, she came here to cause trouble."

"It's a sin. None of these people in the Su family are worry-free."

Guo Xiu was not afraid of embarrassment and started crying as soon as she entered the room: "Don't you know! This Su Luo is so rebellious. She even dared to hit me and threaten me today! After all, I went through so much hardship to give birth to her after ten months of pregnancy. Who knew that one day, I would be beaten by my own daughter!"

She howled so loudly that everyone was stunned.

This famous tigress in the village was beaten up by her daughter Su Luo?

Can't it?

Who believes this?

It was not uncommon to see Su Luo being beaten on a daily basis, by her father and her mother.

Su Luo's cold eyes swept across the abnormally swollen slap mark on Guo Xiu's face. The palm mark was huge, spreading from the base of the chin to the temple. Not only that, the entire half of the face was swollen, like a cooked eggplant, blue and purple and rotten, which was really creepy to look at.

This slap mark was definitely not caused by her.

She was very measured in her attack, as Guo Xiu's thick-skinned face couldn't even be left with a red mark.

It must be that she was beaten by Su Jincai again after she returned, and the two of them teamed up to cheat people.

Who can't act?

Su Luo seemed to be terrified, and hurriedly said: "Why are you accusing me in broad daylight? I wouldn't dare to hit you even if I had ten times the courage!"

Su Jincai rudely pulled Guo Xiu forward and turned her face to face Su Luo: "You still say it wasn't you, but look at this slap mark, wasn't it you who gave it at noon?"

Su Luo seemed to be wrongly accused and stared at them in frustration: "You said I beat her, show me the evidence! What evidence is there to prove that I beat her? So many people saw me and Su Sheng quarreling at the entrance of the village this afternoon, go ask them, who saw me beat her? When my mother came home, who saw her face swollen like this?"

"Don't try to play tricks on me! What evidence or no evidence? You're a beast who deserves to be struck by lightning. You even dare to hit your mother. You're rebelling against heaven, and you still want evidence? Your father is your evidence!" As he rolled up his sleeves, he was ready to come over and beat him up.

Su Luo naturally wouldn't stand there and let him hit her. Instead, she nimbly avoided his attack, ran to the door of her house, and shouted, "I know! You two just want to steal my secret recipe for braised pork! A few days ago, you and Su Sheng came to my kitchen and looked around, and said you came to see me. Everyone in the village knows that. You drove me out a long time ago. When did you come to see me?"

Speaking of this, everyone does know that Su Jincai beat and scolded his daughter all day long, and never asked about her once after he drove her out, except for beating people and asking about wild vegetables. Those who knew her said she was his daughter, while those who didn't think she was a slave bought in the old society.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I just want to ask you, what right do you have to hit your mother? Who do you think you are? How dare you hit your mother?" Su Jincai is not a man who loves his wife on weekdays. Guo Xiu has been married to him for decades and has been beaten many times.

But when Su Luo beat Guo Xiu, Su Jincai couldn't stand it. He felt like his dignity was challenged, and he was so angry that he came to demand an explanation without saying a word.

"Okay, I won't talk about the secret recipe for braised pork that your family covets. I'll ask you, what makes you say I beat her up? Show me the evidence? Who saw me beat her up? Her face was almost broken, and I still said you beat her up! You beat her up, brought her to my house to question me, and made me take the blame. How can this be justified?"

She suddenly realized something and said, "I understand! You are still coveting my secret recipe for braised pork. At noon at the entrance of the village, my cousin and sister-in-law wanted to interfere with my braised pork business. I didn't agree, but my mother wanted to force me to agree. She also told me that I am a daughter and cannot provide for you in your old age. If you let my cousin do this business, he can provide for you in your old age and give your brother a better life. You really have a good plan!"

Everyone then suddenly realized what was going on.

In fact, in a small rural area like this, which family doesn’t favor boys over girls?

When a daughter grows up, she will go out to earn money for other families and raise children for them. But it is different for a son, because he will stay at home all his life and take care of his parents in their old age.

Parents are not fools. Who would be partial to a daughter who will marry someone else in the future?

However, since Su Luo had already been kicked out of the house, it was a bit too much for the Su family to come and steal their business and secret recipes.

Su Luo is a mother with a child after all, and after being kicked out, she can be considered to have set up her own business. Normally, she doesn't care about anything, but when someone makes some money from selling braised meat, all the family members come to covet his things. This family is really a piece of shit!

Everyone was eating melon seeds and looking at Su Luo with sympathy.

Aunt Niu was also startled and came out: "What's going on? What's the commotion?"

Su Luo hurriedly said, "Aunt, they came to steal my secret recipe for stewed meat. My dad beat my mom, and they came to put the blame on me, saying that I was the one who beat her! Isn't this bullying?"

When Aunt Niu saw the big slap mark on Guo Xiu's face, she knew it wasn't Su Luo who hit her, so she protected her behind her and said, "Su Jincai, what are you doing this time?"
