"What do you mean you're staying here? Don't you have your own home?"
Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and followed her.
"My power is out today, so I'm staying here for the night."
Su Li walked into the living room, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it down.
She really rushed all the way here to avoid that group of people.
It was closer here, so she had no choice but to come here.
"Honey, who could be coming over so late?"
Huang Yumei came out wearing a coat, yawning as she did so.
Upon seeing Su Li, she immediately snapped out of her drowsiness and exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Su Li, you brat, why did you suddenly show up!"
"My power is out tonight, so I'll have to stay here."
"You're going to stay at our house?"
Huang Yumei stepped forward, slammed her hand on the table, and said, "You still have the nerve to come here? Last time over there, how did you talk about us in front of so many people, making your uncle and me lose face? You even had our pigsty demolished. We haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you've already delivered yourself to our doorstep."
Su Li sat down in a chair, leisurely drinking water without saying a word.
Zhou Kai followed up, "Su Li, what exactly are you trying to do? You haven't given us any money this month. You really won't stop giving us money in the future, will you? Then your brother shouldn't come back to stay on weekends. We need money to feed and drink him too."
"That's right, neither of us has a proper job, we can't keep the pig farming business, and we can't afford to support a child."
"bump--"
Su Li placed the water glass on the table, her face full of coldness.
The couple instinctively shut up.
"You're unemployed because you lack ambition; what's the use of blaming others for your lack of money?"
"I paid for this apartment for you in full, right? You're having such a big problem with me staying one night? Why don't you move out?"
Huang Yumei and Zhou Kai exchanged a glance, stammering and not daring to speak.
Although Zhou Kai is Su Li's uncle, he and Su Li's biological mother are half-siblings, so their relationship isn't that deep.
Their current good living conditions are all thanks to Su Li.
If we drive the rich man away...
Seeing their expressions, Su Li knew they would behave themselves. She lazily got up and said, "I'm going upstairs to sleep. Don't bother me unless it's important. I've been really grumpy in the mornings lately."
She carried her bag upstairs.
Huang Yumei stomped her foot in anger, gritting her teeth, "That brat, coming to my turf and still acting so arrogantly, does she really think she's still the eldest daughter of the Su family!"
Zhou Kai said, "Alright, we still need her to pay us later, otherwise how will our family eat and drink? Let her stay if she wants, she'll leave tomorrow."
"No wonder she insisted on asking us to reserve a room for her. So that's what she was up to. If I had known, I would have taken the bed from that room."
"This girl comes and goes as she pleases, without even asking our opinion."
Huang Yumei muttered, "Honey, don't you find it strange? She never liked living with us. Why did she suddenly come back so late? Could she have done something bad outside?"
"Why bother with her so much? Honey, let's go to sleep."
Su Li closed the door, looked at the simple bedroom, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
I was terrified the whole way here, afraid that those people would come after me.
They've got their eyes on the earrings; it seems she'll have to be more careful with her belongings from now on.
Su Li took out her phone to charge it first, as it was out of battery tonight, which meant she couldn't call for help.
She took the earring out of her bag and examined it closely under the light.
"I didn't realize the things my grandma gave me were so valuable. Luckily, I found them."
Although she didn't know if the earrings were as powerful as the legends said, she still put them away.
