Chapter 150: Using the Silver Saved to Marry a Wife
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The surrounding villagers were unhappy when they heard this. If outsiders knew, they would think that the daughters of the Su Family Village were all like this.
So what if Su Li’s reputation was ruined? Anyway, it had nothing to do with them. However, there were still unmarried girls in the village. What if their reputations were ruined? Who would dare to marry the daughters of the Su Family Village in the future?
A villager pointed at Su Li angrily and said, “Su Li, why don’t you go back with them!”
“That’s right. Why don’t you go back and take care of your man? After all, you’re husband and wife. What you’re doing is too inhumane.”
“That’s right. You can’t be too heartless. Otherwise, you won’t be able to reincarnate well in your next life.”
Everyone spoke one after another and arranged Su Li’s actions.
Su Jidong was burning with anger. Just as he was about to retort, Su Li tugged at his clothes and gestured for him to stop talking.
Su Li looked at everyone and said, “Whether I go back or not is my business. What does it have to do with you? If you can’t stand it anymore, you can follow them back.”
Su Li looked at Wang Chunhua and said, “Since you said that you’re going to look for the village chief, go now. I didn’t do anything to let anyone down.
What can he do to me?”
“If you really can’t resolve it, report it to the officials and see how the officials deal with this matter. However, let me remind you that I didn’t break the law. No one cares about such matters. Perhaps the officials will even beat you up.”
Su Li looked at Wang Chunhua provocatively. She liked it when others couldn’t stand her but couldn’t get rid of her.
Wang Chunhua: “…” Why can’t this woman be persuaded by force or soft persuasion?
This didn’t work, and that didn’t work either. Could it be that she really had to return empty-handed?
“Are you really not going back?” Wang Chunhua asked.
Su Li thought for a moment and said, “It’s not impossible for me to go back.”
When Wang Chunhua heard that there was still a chance, she hurriedly asked,
“What will it take for you to be willing to go back?”
Su Li said, “In the future, we won’t give you any retirement money. I can’t afford to pay you this sum monthly alone with the children in tow. If you agree, I’ll go back. If not, I’ll divorce He Yufeng later.”
Wang Chunhua shouted, “Pfft, you don’t want to give me my retirement money? Dream on!”
Su Li spread her hands innocently. “Then ask He Yufeng for it. It has nothing to do with me anyway.”
Seeing Su Li like this, He Fengnian stood up and said, “Third Sister-in-law, we can discuss things. Don’t be anxious. I’ll talk to Mother.”
Su Li said, “Up to you.”
He Fengnian pulled Wang Chunhua to the side, and Madam Zhao and the others followed. The few of them began to mutter and discuss.
“Mother, according to me, I think we should ask for all the silver at once.
Otherwise, who knows what trouble will happen in the future.”
“Yes, I think that’s a good idea too. Perhaps the Su family can help. If Third Brother really falls, we might not get a single cent.”
Old He said, “It’s good to get it all at once so that that woman won’t change her mind in the future. As long as we get the money, it has nothing to do with us whether she lives in her maiden home or if she divorces.’
When Wang Chunhua heard this, she also felt that it made sense. She nodded and said, “Alright, let’s do that. How much is suitable to ask?”
Judging from Su Li’s expression, she probably wouldn’t agree if the sum was too much.
He Fengnian said, “Why don’t we ask for 100 taels? If she doesn’t agree, we’ll ask for less.
“Listen to Eldest Brother. One hundred taels first. Third Brother should have saved some silver over the years.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
In any case, they would do whatever they could. If they could get a hundred taels, they would be able to live a good life again.
The few of them discussed for a long time, and in the end, they asked Su Li to fork out a hundred taels of silver. Her family no longer needed to give them retirement money in the future.
When the surrounding villagers heard this, they felt that their worldview was about to explode.
100 taels?
How could they say that?
When Su Li heard their words, she glanced at them mockingly. “I don’t have the money. Do you think silver is like fallen leaves on the ground? You can have as much as you want?”
Su Ze looked at them and snorted coldly. “You’re really blood-sucking leeches. You sucked your son’s blood dry and now you want to suck your daughter-in-law’s blood? Let me tell you, with me around, don’t even think about it.”
Wang Chunhua shouted, “If you don’t give us a single cent, don’t even think about getting rid of us. Those two children will grow up one day. If you don’t want your reputation, I don’t believe that they don’t want their reputation.” “Don’t forget that you signed a document. As long as the document is there, you won’t be able to rest in peace for the rest of your lives.”
The document in her hand was her greatest weapon. As long as Su Li still cared about these two children, she would definitely be controlled by them.
Su Li’s eyes turned cold. She glanced at Wang Chunhua. Very good. This Wang Chunhua was walking further and further down the path of courting death.
Su Li said coldly, “I can only give you five taels of silver. In the future, we’ll go our separate ways.”
“No way!”
Wang Chunhua’s first reaction was to refuse. Five taels of silver? That was only enough to send a beggar away.
Su Li said helplessly, “I still have to borrow five taels of silver. If you’re not satisfied, there’s nothing I can do.”
He Fengnian said, “Fifty taels.”
Su Li rolled her eyes at him. “Ask everyone present and see who can take out 50 taels of silver. Five taels of silver is the highest price.”
Su Li looked at him as if she was looking at a fool. “I was lying and you believed me? If I had the ability, why would I still live in that lousy place? I would have gone to live a good life long ago.”
He Fengnian felt that it made sense. If Su Li was really rich, why did she move to town or build a new house? Why did she keep living in that lousy place?
He Fengnian said, “Twenty taels.”
“Fengnian!” Wang Chunhua was a little dissatisfied when she heard twenty taels.
He Fengnian whispered in her ear, “Mother, she might not be able to take out 20 taels. Let’s take as much as we can.”
Wang Chunhua also knew this logic. After all, things were different now.
If only her third son wasn’t injured. That way, she could continue to enjoy that beautiful life.
“No.” Su Li gave an expression that looked like she only had five taels.
He Fengnian gritted his teeth. “Ten taels is the lowest. If you don’t give it to me, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Su Li lowered her head and pondered for a while. She looked at Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying with a troubled expression.
“Father, Mother, do you think you can…”
Su Jidong frowned. It was true that there was some money at home, but it was for Su Ze to get married.
If he gave it to Su Li now, what would happen when Su Ze wanted to get married in the future?
If he didn’t take it out, his daughter would be pestered by these vampires.
He owed his daughter to begin with. If he did not help her now, he would probably feel even worse in the future.
Su Jidong looked at Su Ze and discussed, “The remaining money at home was originally prepared for you to get married. Your sister is in trouble now, so I want to take it out to help her. I wonder what you think of it?”
Su Ze hurriedly nodded and said, “Father, quickly take it out. I’ll earn the money to get married. Helping my sister is more important now.”
Su Ze had completely forgotten that Su Li was a rich woman. Previously, she had taken 100 taels from Yao Jun and 200 taels of silver from Zeng Qing. These taels of silver were enough to pay the He family..
