Chapter 242 242 I'll Peel Off Your Skin
The visitor was none other than Yao, the mother of Duan Hong, the daughter-in-law of Su Guo from the third branch of the family.
Yao was widowed at a young age and had only one child, Duan Hong. Despite her alluring appearance, she was extremely fierce. In her youth, she almost killed a thief who broke into her yard in the middle of the night in order to uphold her chastity. As a result, everyone in her village knew that Widow Yao was not someone to be trifled with and was not the kind of person that men could easily mess with.
Widow Yao and Duan Hong survived like this, and the mother and daughter lived a pretty good life. Moreover, Widow Yao was upright, hardworking and capable, and the people in their village respected her behind her back. Until Duan Hong married Su Qi, Widow Yao focused all her attention on her son-in-law. But she found that Su Qi was not what she had imagined, and her daughter also changed after marriage.
As time went on, Widow Yao keenly noticed that her grandchildren were becoming more and more dull. Every time they saw her, their eyes would turn red, but no matter how much she asked, they would not say anything.
Widow Yao was very clever. After a few times, she roughly guessed that her daughter had married a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that her son-in-law was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
Widow Yao, with her sound moral compass, guessed the likely reason and tried to persuade her daughter several times. However, her daughter was already under her son-in-law's thumb and wouldn't listen to anything he said. Widow Yao had no choice but to reduce her contact with her daughter for the sake of peace and quiet.
She came here because she heard that the Su family was building a house and the third branch of the family had moved out. It also seemed that the son-in-law and his brothers were trying to take advantage of the younger brother. Widow Yao wanted to come and advise her daughter and son-in-law not to go too far. However, when she arrived at the old Su family, she found that things were not as simple as she thought.
Concealing her doubts, Widow Yao glanced indifferently at the people in the courtyard, then looked at Boss Su.
Even if Boss Su was stupid, he would have realized something was wrong.
It's normal for one relative to visit, it can be said to be a coincidence for two, but if three relatives all come at the same time, and you say there's nothing wrong here, I would never believe it.
Just then, the doors to the second and fourth rooms opened, and a group of Su family members came out.
Widow Yao glanced around but didn't see her daughter. Her heart sank. "Where's my daughter?"
Su Lao Er sneered, "Your daughter is off enjoying her life. She'll be moving into a new house soon, so she wouldn't even look at our shabby little courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Widow Yao closed her eyes and remained silent, deciding to observe the situation before making a decision.
Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao exchanged a glance, then looked at Grandma Gao. The three of them looked at each other silently and frowned in unison.
That's not right!
They're all shrewd people; with three families visiting in such a short time, it's obvious something's up here!
Could it be that Widow Yao is also here to ask for money?
The three old shrewd men exchanged a glance and fell silent.
Su Lao Er was watching the excitement when, unexpectedly, the excitement found him in the blink of an eye.
Three more groups of people entered the Su family courtyard. The family of Su Lao Er's wife and the families of his two sons' in-laws all came. For a while, the second branch of the family had more people than the first branch.
The eldest and second eldest Su brothers were stunned.
What's going on? How come it's already been a whole day?
Even if they come to the Su family to ask for money, they wouldn't all come in one day, would they?
Who delivered the message to them? The third brother, Zhiyuan?
The eldest and second eldest sons of the Su family called their sons to invite people into the house, while the third sons of the Su family quickly sent someone to fetch the family members from the third branch of the family.
They can't afford to entertain so many people. Since it concerns the third branch of the family, let Su Zhiyuan handle it himself.
Moreover, the only person the Su family can truly boast about is Su Zhiyuan. If he doesn't come, who will?
Soon after, Su Zhiyuan received the news and quickly helped the two elders of the Su family back to their old house with Wan Guihua.
When they arrived, more people from the Su family came; it was Ma Mingming's family from the third branch of the Su family.
In no time, the Su family's house was overflowing with people. Since the weather had warmed up, Old Master Su had his son set up several long benches in the yard, and everyone sat down there.
After everyone was seated, Boss Su kept glancing towards the gate. He couldn't help it; in just over two hours, seven or eight families of relatives had come, totaling nearly fifty people. Even when he got married, his family didn't have this many guests. He was worried that if more people came, he would have to quickly find chairs for them.
Serving tea was out of the question in this situation, so Wan Guihua went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water and poured a few cups of hot water for the elders. The rest of the peers would have to wait for their thirst, as there weren't enough cups at home.
Just as we were about to get to the point, someone else arrived at the main entrance.
Upon seeing the visitors from outside the courtyard, Old Man Su seemed to relax, looking at his father with an expression that said, "I knew it."
Grandpa Su didn't even glance at him, and looked up at the newcomer.
Goodness, two more companies have come this time.
The first family was an old man with a cane, his long white beard reaching his chest. He wore a black jacket patched upon patched, without even a cotton-padded coat. Behind him stood a woman in her sixties with a sorrowful face. When she saw Old Mrs. Su, her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards her.
"Girl, I'm so glad to finally meet you."
Grandma Su was stunned. She patted the woman in her arms blankly and looked at the newcomer in a daze.
Oh, I recognize him. This is her older brother, who is twelve years older than her and is now over seventy years old.
"sister?"
The person in her arms looked up, crying as she looked at Old Mrs. Su, "Yes, it's me."
Grandma Su looked puzzled. "Didn't you marry someone from the province of Shan? Why are you back?"
And his older brother, wasn't he living in the provincial capital with his son? Why is he back too? We haven't seen each other for over ten years, how come these two both came back together today?
"mother?"
Behind her, Wan Guihua cried out in surprise and rushed out to greet her. In no time, she helped a blind old woman into the Su family's gate.
Upon seeing this scene, even Old Master Su felt like fainting.
Someone is plotting against the Su family!
They called all of the Su family's relatives, regardless of their character. If they could get something for nothing, they wouldn't leave empty-handed. If they were of good character, the Su family would at least provide them with a good meal!
With so many people, how much food would they consume? How much money would he have to spend to get rid of these awful relatives?
Grandpa Su counted on his fingers but still couldn't figure out who was plotting against him. He didn't have time to think about it now and could only devote himself to entertaining his relatives.
Not far away, Qin Feng entered the Qin family's residence, humming a little tune as he walked through the gate with his hands behind his back. He turned around and closed the gate, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Once inside, he solicitously lit a cigarette for Qin Aiguo, saying, "Dad, everyone's here."
Qin Aiguo slowly raised his head, glanced indifferently in the direction of the Su family, snorted coldly, and then slowly lowered his head to take a deep drag of his cigarette.
"Keep an eye on them and let them leave tonight."
Qin Feng smiled and agreed, then turned and went out the door again.
Qin Aiguo raised his head again, glanced in the direction of the educated youth compound, and smiled more broadly.
You think you can just pay me off for bullying my granddaughter? Ha! You wish! Does the Qin family lack money?
If I don't skin the Su family alive this time, I'm not a Qin.
Qin Aiguo lowered his head again, took a puff of his cigarette, and a moment later, Qin's mother's angry roar came from the kitchen. Qin Aiguo hurriedly put out his cigarette, agreed, and ran to the kitchen.
