Chapter 149: Heartache
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the people outside heard this, they whispered to each other. They knew that Su Li had married a hunter. This time, they heard from Jiao Yuying that her son-in-law had gone up the mountain to hunt, so Su Li returned to her maiden home to stay for a while.
From the looks of it, that was not the case. Su Li’s man was about to die and she had run back to her family with her children.
Indeed, as the saying went, husband and wife were birds in the same forest.
However, when a calamity came, they would fly separately.
“This daughter of the Su family has been insensible since she was young. I thought that it would be better if she married off, but it seems like a dog can’t change its ways.”
“That’s right, that’s right. What’s wrong with taking care of her husband when he’s sick? She left him at home and ran away with her children. It’s really unlucky to marry a wife like her!”
“That’s right. Last time, I heard from Jiao Yuying that her son-in-law went hunting in the mountains. That’s why Su Li brought the children back. From the looks of it, it’s all an excuse.’
“That’s right. That’s what Jiao Yuying told me when I asked her last time.
Raising such a daughter tells everyone that the parents are nothing much. Su Ze hasn’t gotten engaged yet. I don’t think any girl from that family is willing to marry over.”
“Pfft, this is a fire pit. Only someone with a hole in their brain would let a girl marry into his family.”
When Wang Chunhua heard the discussion outside, she couldn’t help but smile. Even if Su Li wasn’t afraid of being discussed, weren’t the Su family afraid of being discussed?
Su Ze’s face darkened when he saw everyone discussing. “My sister is not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding.”
Wang Chunhua pursed her lips and said, “Misunderstanding? If you don’t believe me, go home and take a look. Third Brother is still lying in bed half-dead. This woman is really heartless. She doesn’t even care that her man is about to die.”
When Su Li heard Wang Chunhua’s words, she sneered and said, “What does his death have to do with me? I can live wherever I want. Just now, you all said that we’ve split up and are from two different families. Now that you’re here to
teach me a lesson, who do you think you are?”
Su Ze couldn’t help but frown when he heard their conversation. Didn’t his brother-in-law go out to hunt? Why did he become half-dead?
Could it be that his brother-in-law was injured from hunting in the mountains, and it was a very serious injury, so his sister ran back to their family?
Su Ze glanced at the overbearing He family and then at Su Li’s cold back. He made a decision in his heart. If his sister wanted a divorce, he would raise both hands in approval.
Anyway, he didn’t like his brother-in-law very much. Most importantly, his sister didn’t like him either. Their whole family didn’t like him. Since all of them didn’t like him, why should they keep him? He should get lost as far as possible.
Wang Chunhua did not expect Su Li to reject her so bluntly. She felt that she would die of anger sooner or later.
After lying in bed for a few days, she finally recovered a little. Now, she felt her heart begin to hurt.
When Madam Zhao saw that Wang Chunhua was at a disadvantage in less than two moves, she stood up and said, “Are you planning to stay in your maiden home forever? Don’t forget that these two children have the surname He.”
Su Li was enlightened. “If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. The child can actually take my surname, Su. After all, the surname He isn’t worth much.”
Madam Zhao was speechless. Why was this woman so stubborn?
Madam Zhao held it in for a long time and said, “Are you so heartless as to watch your man die? It’s said that a husband and wife are forever indebted to each other, not to mention that you have two children.”
Su Li glanced at them. “It’s not that I want to see him die, but you want to see them die. Do you think He Yufeng, who’s lying in bed half-dead, can afford to pay seven taels a month? Or do you think a weak woman like me can afford it?”
“It was fine in the past. After all, in order to pay for his parents’ pension, He Yufeng worked himself to death every month to go hunting in the mountains. But now that he can’t do it anymore, my children and I can’t survive and you keep forcing me to pay. Where should I go to find money for you?”
“If it weren’t for the fact that I was forced into a corner by you, would I have abandoned him and brought my children back to my family? It’s all your fault for He Yufeng becoming like this.”
Wang Chunhua was speechless. When did they force this b*tch to pay them money?
Although she had this thought, Su Li ran away before she could execute it.
Su Ze looked at Su Li with heartache.
He did not expect his sister to suffer so much. If he had known this, he would have brought his sister home long ago. He would not have let her suffer there.
The crowd was in an uproar.
They were still criticizing Su Li just now, but now, they turned around and criticized Wang Chunhua and the rest.
“Seven taels of silver? Oh my god, we probably can only give seven taels of silver a year at most. I’m dying of laughter. She wants seven taels a month? She’s going to torture people to death!”
“That’s right. Think about how much money our family earns from planting crops. Even Su Li’s man don’t earn much from hunting!”
“What money can we earn from growing crops? We can even wake up laughing in our dreams at night if we can eat our fill and not starve to death. .
“Then you can’t blame Su Li for running away. If it were me, I would definitely run away overnight. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand such a life?”
“Isn’t that so? You have to serve your husband as he lies in bed, and you still have to be filial to your in-laws. With such a family,if you don’t run away, would you sit there and wait for death?”
When Su Li heard the discussion, the corners of her lips curled up. Wang
Chunhua wanted to use public opinion to suppress her?
Wang Chunhua’s wishful thinking was wrong.
Just then, Jiao Yuying and Su Jidong rushed back.
They were originally working in the fields when they heard that Wang
Chunhua had brought people over aggressively. They knew that Su Li’s relationship with her in-laws had never been good, so Wang Chunhua and the others must not have come for anything good.
They were afraid that their daughter would be bullied, so they stopped working in the fields and immediately rushed home with their hoes.
Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying’s eyes flashed with heartache when they heard the crowd’s discussion when they reached the door.
Back then, they shouldn’t have forced Su Li to marry He Yufeng, let alone pushed Su Li into that fire pit for that damn dignity of theirs.
It was no wonder that their daughter had not interacted with them all these years. If they encountered such a thing, they would probably feel resentful!
Wang Chunhua’s sharp eyes saw them. “Yo! In-laws are back.”
Everyone automatically made way for Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying.
Su Jidong asked coldly, “Why are you guys here today?”
Su Jidong directly refused, “My daughter won’t go back.”
He would never let his daughter return to that wolf’s den. It was not like he could not afford to raise the three of them.
Wang Chunhua chuckled and said, “One follows her husband after getting married. Are you planning to let her stay in your family for the rest of her life? This doesn’t make sense either. If you really don’t let us take her away, I can only go to your village chief. I want to ask him if this is how your Su Family
Village teaches your daughters..”
