Chapter Seventy-Five: Teaching Su Xing a Lesson
She recognized the man; he was Su Xing, Su Yindi's younger brother.
Su Xing is the same age as Jiang Mi, and is the fourth child in his family, making him the youngest. Compared to Jiang Mi, Su Xing's status in the family is even higher; he is treated like a prince and is afraid of breaking a child.
The Su family favored sons over daughters; the first three were all girls, and the third sister-in-law, Su Yindi, was named in the hope of having a son. Su Xing was spoiled and spent his days idly, with all his resources provided by his three older sisters.
Since Su Xing was born, his parents have been brainwashing their three daughters, telling them to put their younger brother first in everything. Even if they starved to death, they would make sure their brother was well-fed and clothed. Su Xing lived up to their expectations, developing a selfish and self-serving personality.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mi scoffed.
So dramatic!
Su Yindi looked embarrassed and pulled out half a tael of silver from her pocket: "This is all the silver I have, and it's all I have..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Xing snatched the silver from his hand.
"The Jiang family is really stingy. You've been married into the family for so long, and they've only given you half a tael of silver!" Although Su Xing complained, his face was beaming with joy.
There's money to be made again these days.
Su Yindi's face turned pale, and she explained weakly, "Ever since I joined the Jiang family, when have I not sent you something good? My mother-in-law has treated me well, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to come up with half a tael of silver now."
My younger brother is a big spender. It's only been ten days since I last gave him money. I've been saving every penny, and he's been so disdainful of me.
"Tch." Su Xing said with a disdainful look: "I heard that the Jiang family spent a lot of money to rent more than ten acres of land. If you ask me, the Jiang family just doesn't want to spend money on you. Otherwise, you would have at least more than ten taels of silver in your hands now."
If he hadn't inquired beforehand, he would have been completely deceived by his third sister.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xing felt his hand lighten, and the half tael of silver in his hand vanished. A disdainful voice came from above his head: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this!"
Su Xing looked up and saw a beautiful woman holding his half-tael of silver in her hand, her eyes full of disdain. The sudden goodwill he had felt was also shattered by her words just now. He looked at Jiang Mi with a ferocious expression: "Who do you think you are? This is our family matter, it's none of your business as an outsider."
Su Xing did not associate the woman in front of him with Jiang Mi, after all, Lianzi's appearance and figure were very different.
Seeing his younger sister suddenly appear, Su Yindi was startled. His vision went black and his face turned pale.
It's over, completely over.
If her mother-in-law finds out that she's been secretly giving money to her younger brother again, she'll definitely be in big trouble.
Their former arrogance has vanished, replaced by a cowardly timidity, not daring to utter a single word.
Jiang Mi's attention wasn't on Su Yindi. Instead, she held half a tael of silver in her hand and mocked Su Xing: "Aunt Su and the others said before that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl. They won't care whether Third Sister-in-law lives or dies. Since she's married into our Jiang family, she's one of us. Theoretically speaking, you're the outsider, right?"
Third sister-in-law?
Su Xing caught the key words in that sentence. Looking at the graceful and pure-looking woman in front of him, his mouth gaped open in shock, and even his voice trembled slightly: "You...you are that fat bastard Jiang Mi?"
The figure before me overlapped with the one in my memory, but it wasn't exactly the same; they were completely unrelated.
He had seen Jiang Mi before; he had the privilege of seeing the fat woman once when Su Yindi got married.
He had a round face, full of fat, and broad shoulders. His body was as big as Mount Tai, comparable to a fat pig, and could probably crush a pig to death.
Snap—
Upon hearing the words "fat woman," and considering how much she had taken advantage of the Jiang family, Jiang Mi immediately flew into a rage and slapped her across the face: "If I ever see you asking your third sister-in-law for money again, I'll make sure you regret it!"
The force was so great that Su Xing's head was buzzing. Hearing Jiang Mi's words, he was furious and said angrily, "Why? She's my own sister. Why can't I ask her for money?"
If his third sister stops giving him money in the future, how will he continue to indulge in pleasure?
The eldest and second eldest sisters married a cripple who was even poorer than the Jiang family. They couldn't even come up with ten coins, let alone half a tael of silver.
How could he possibly give up on such a huge cradle as Su Yindi so easily?
Turning to look at his third sister, who was cowering like a quail, Su Xing shouted, "Third sister, are you just going to stand by and watch outsiders ride roughshod over your own brother? Are you mute?"
After being reprimanded like that, Su Yindi shrank back, deliberately keeping a straight face, but her voice lacked confidence: "Jiang Mi, who gave you permission to talk to my brother like that?"
Jiang Mi wasn't intimidated and immediately retorted, "Third sister-in-law, if you continue to be so confused, I'll tell Mother when I get back that you've been secretly giving this brat money again!"
The moment her mother-in-law was mentioned, Su Yindi's hard-won arrogance was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
Seeing his third sister like this, Su Xing was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Jiang Mi: "You bitch, hand over half a tael of silver to me, or don't blame me for getting rough with you!"
As a good woman, how can you let others act arrogantly in front of you? You should fight back appropriately and become a good woman who knows how to defend herself.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi felt that the system was becoming increasingly unscrupulous.
But looking at Su Xing in front of her, she was also extremely angry.
Transforming her grief and anger into strength, and with a single punch, Jiang Mi sent him flying.
Su Xing flew in a perfect arc through the air and landed precisely in the thorny bushes beside him.
Countless thorns from the grass pierced his skin, and coupled with the punch he received, Su Xing's face contorted in pain, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart.
This fat pig has such great strength.
"Little brother!" Su Yindi exclaimed, and was about to step forward to comfort him, but Jiang Mi pulled her back: "If you dare to take a step forward, you can never come back to the Jiang family."
If Jiang Mi didn't say something harsh, her third sister-in-law might not listen, so this was the only thing she could say.
Threatened like this, Su Yindi stopped in her tracks, her face contorted in pain, and stood there motionless.
She feared being scolded and reprimanded by her mother more than being sent back to her parents' home by her husband with a letter of divorce.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Mi gave Su Xing a profound and painful lesson.
Aww—
ah--
Outside the remote village, only the man's painful howls and pleas for mercy remained.
"I will never ask Third Sister for money again, please stop hitting me!" Su Xing begged for mercy on the ground, on the verge of tears. He was beaten so badly by this woman that he was powerless to fight back and was being unilaterally beaten by Jiang Mi.
