Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 19 - Returning to the Village

Mrs. Su's hand swung viciously, and Su Sanyi's cheek immediately swelled up.

"If I tell you to go, you go. Can't I even give orders to a girl anymore?"

Su Sanyi, trembling with fear, nodded furiously.

"Get going, and be quick about it! Girls are just lazy, only knowing how to shirk work."

...

Unaware of the events unfolding at the Su Family, Susu was in high spirits as she collected money and sold her marinated goods.

"Oh my, sister-in-law, I thought that was you from a distance."

Liu Gong'an approached with a cheerful grin.

"Brother Liu, what brings you here?"

Brother Liu's smile was simple and honest. He pointed to his lunchbox, "My mother heard there's a really good marinated food stall near the cinema and told me to buy some. What a coincidence, it's run by my sister-in-law."

"What would you like, Brother Liu? We know each other well, so I'll definitely throw in some extra for you," Susu took his lunchbox and swiftly packed it up.

"No need, no need, sister-in-law. Sell it like you would normally." Brother Liu waved his hands, embarrassed, refusing to take advantage of the offer.

"If you feel bad, then help by spreading the word about my stall."

After seeing off Liu Gong'an, Susu wiped sweat from her brow. The back-and-forth haggling had left her quite parched.

With money in pocket, she happily headed home.

"Sanyi?"

Seeing the girl at the door looking emaciated and with a swollen cheek, Susu instantly guessed what had happened.

"Did mother hit you? Sent you to ask me for money?"

Su Sanya timidly nodded, tears swirling in her eyes as she shrank her neck in fear.

Anger surged inside Susu, but she could not vent it on the pitiful Little Aunt, and her chest heaved with the effort to calm herself.

It felt as if a lump of air trapped in her chest couldn't rise or fall.

"Sanyi, have you eaten?"

Su Sanya cautiously looked up at her older sister and shook her head, her voice tiny, "No, not yet."

Susu, witnessing the fear-stricken Little Aunt, went inside to fetch two steamed buns and some marinated goods, "Have a bite to eat first, I'll take you back home later."

Seeing the Little Aunt eagerly salivating but just staring obediently at the bowl, Susu firmly insisted she finish it or face her wrath.

"Yes, got it, Big Sister."

Watching the Little Aunt devour the food, Xian Yue saw her past self, who once lived such a life at her in-laws, and she got up to fetch a bowl of water.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm."

"Xian Yue, I'm going to take my sister back for a bit later. Otherwise, these constant little dramas get pretty disgusting to deal with."

The more Susu spoke, the angrier she got – how could anyone be so biased to the core? They were all her children, yet treated so unequally?

Sitian Village

"Oh my, who's that? Whose family in our village bought a bicycle?"

The people working at the edge of the field stood up curiously at the news, craning their necks to see.

One of the women squinted and slapped her thigh, "Hey, isn't that Su Erya from the Old Su Family who married into the city?"

"Right, and isn't that Su Sanya following behind her?"

"Why does Su Erya look so unhappy to me?"

"Pah! Just because she got married and moved to the city, does she need to come back with such a sour face?"

The people's love for gossip blazed as they watched the direction the bicycle went, itching with unbearable curiosity.

Some curious old lady, simply jogging off to the Old Su Family to take in the spectacle.

After parking her bicycle neatly, Susu stormed into the house and dragged down Su Baogen, who had been sleeping soundly on the kang bed.

"Sanyi, go to the fields and call Dad and Mom back. Just tell them I'm back."

Watching her little brother wail, Su Sanya shivered and nervously ran out.

She ran halfway and bumped into Su Fu and Mrs. Su, who had hurried back home in flustered joy after hearing from the villagers that their daughter Erya had returned.

"Dad, Mom, Sister Erya's back."

"Alright, alright, I know."

Seeing the delighted parents, Su Sanya's face turned even paler.

Hearing Mrs. Su's joyful voice, Susu immediately started beating Su Baogen.

Su Baogen, who had been daydreaming about his big sister buying him a large meat bun, immediately started crying and hugging his head.

"Ouch, Sister, what are you doing? Stop hitting me, stop!"

"I'm Baogen, stop hitting me, it hurts~"

Hearing their son's cries, Su Fu and Mrs. Su rushed in frantically.

They were greeted by the sight of their daughter Erya beating their son until he was rolling in tears, and Mrs. Su immediately slapped her thigh and charged over, cursing loudly.

"You're gonna die, you cheap slut, daring to hit my Baogen. I'll fight you to death!"

Before Mrs. Su's grubby hands could reach her, Susu nimbly dodged and, with a swift kick, sent Su Baogen flying out.

"Ouch, my precious baby—"

The Su parents managed to catch their miserably crying son, only to be knocked down themselves, landing heavily on the ground.

Mrs. Su glared at Susu fiercely, "You crazy girl, coming back just to beat Baogen."

Beside her, Su Fu frowned deeply, "Erya, you..."

Susu glanced at the crowd tightly packed inside and outside the yard and sneered, "To make me, a married daughter, subsidize my natal family and my lazy glutton of a brother, you really went to great lengths. Every two or three days you come begging, or otherwise force the girls at home to take turns working, all to make me skim from my husband's family to support my own. "

"The other day it was my older sister, and today it's my younger sister. You really stooped to every level for money. Looking at Sanyi's swollen face, I guess my big sister didn't give in to your demands for money and probably didn't escape a beating when she got back, did she?"

"I knew it, the other day I saw Su Daya with a bruised, swollen face, limping."

"That's heartless! If my daughter-in-law acted like that, I'd make my son beat her to death for ruining our family."

"Exactly, just look at how fat the Su Family's son has gotten. And yet they still rely on their daughters to secretly prop them up."

"If a family had that kind of daughter-in-law, they'd truly be cursed for eight lifetimes."

Watching the crowd whisper among themselves, Susu continued, "Today I'm here to warn you all, if anyone else comes to my husband's family, I'll beat up your precious son. Come one time, get beaten one time."

"Ah, such a hard life for me, to have given birth to a wretched girl..."

...

Having said her piece, Susu ignored Su Fu and Mrs. Su, who were causing a scene, and simply rode away on her bicycle.

Watching her second sister's retreating figure, Su Sanya's eyes sparkled brightly.

Having dealt with her outrageous natal family, Susu felt especially good and took a detour on her bicycle to buy some meat and ribs.

"La la la, today is a good day, a wonderful..."

Just as she turned into the alley and steered her bicycle towards home, she ran straight into an old lady looking worried.

"Oh goodness, it's lucky you're here, I was just on my way to inform your family."

Susu looked at the old lady, about to say something, when she heard the old lady's voice.

"Your Xiao Yu fell down from a tree."
