“Ah, ah,” continued Uncle Su Zongming, groaning, “What else could it be?
I only said a few words about Xiaofeng, and she had the fool hit me.
As a seed of the old Su Family, getting pregnant without explanation is one thing, but she dared to strike an elder.
We cannot have someone like her in our family anymore.
Third Uncle, go call the village chief, have him come here to decide for us, to drive Xiaofeng out of the village.”
The little wretch, daring to raise her hand against him, he had to show her that old ginger is still pungent.
The villagers watching the scene, upon hearing Su Zongming’s words, quickly shifted their gazes toward Xiaofeng, thinking to themselves that with the fool’s size, plus Su Guisheng and his wife, they probably wouldn’t be a match for her.
“Xiaofeng, you tell us,” said the Third Uncle, clearly not fully convinced by his brother’s words.
Upon hearing Third Uncle’s question, Xiaofeng’s tears fell like they didn’t cost a thing, non-stop as she took a few more steps forward, leaning on Old Guaizi.
“Third Uncle, my dad just barely made it back alive yesterday.
I thought Uncle Zongming and his family were here to show concern for my dad, to check on his injuries, but from the moment they arrived, they didn’t ask about my dad’s injuries once.
They just started with all the nasty remarks, saying things about how my dad’s wife left without bearing a son, and such.
Uncle Zongming, you judge for yourself, as an elder, how can you lead in saying such things.”
Su Xiaofeng sniffled hard as she spoke, “My dad just barely survived, and Uncle Zongming starts off by saying these heart-wrenching things to my dad, and I’m thinking, Uncle Zongming must be unwilling to see my dad well, maybe he wants to anger my dad to death.”
Xiaofeng’s crying was pitiful and sad.
Hearing the words from her mouth and recalling the habitual attitude of Su Zongming’s family toward Old Guaizi’s household, it wasn’t hard to guess the truth.
Su Zongming, listening to Su Xiaofeng’s tearful accusation, felt something was off the more he listened.
By the end, he leapt up from the ground, “You little wretch, don’t you dare falsely accuse me.
Why would I not want to see Guaizi well, or wish for his death?”
Su Guisheng and his wife also quickly chimed in, “Right, how could that be possible?
When we came in, we were talking about your marriage.
You never told us that your big brother had an accident yesterday.
If you had told us, we would have definitely come another day.”
Ma Donghua cursed Su Xiaofeng in her heart a hundred times over.
The little wretch, fine, now she’s learned to act.
Look at the way she cries, so convincingly.
Upon hearing Ma Donghua’s words, Xiaofeng’s nose turned sore once again, “Uncle, Aunt, is there a single spot on my dad’s body that isn’t wrapped in gauze?
Do I even need to say it, wouldn’t any clear-sighted person be able to tell?”
The implication was, are the three of you blind?
It’s so obvious he’s injured, wouldn’t it be noticeable?
Then, her eyes fixed on Uncle Zongming with surprise, she exclaimed, “Uncle Zongming, is your waist okay now?”
Upon Xiaofeng’s remark, everyone turned to look at Su Zongming.
The agile manner in which Su Zongming had jumped up from the ground, using both hands and feet, was witnessed by all, and hardly seemed like the actions of someone with a broken back.
Standing there, Su Zongming felt awkward, not knowing whether to stand or to lie back down.
He cursed himself inwardly for being too impatient and falling into this girl’s trap.
“Brother,” said the Third Uncle, after hearing Xiaofeng’s words and seeing the recent conduct of his brother, he probably had a good idea of what was going on: “Guaizi was at work yesterday when there was a landslide on the mountain.
Luckily, the ancestors of the Su Family were looking after him, and Guaizi, having a strong will to live, managed to survive.”
Given yesterday’s events, being alive at all was a stroke of great fortune.
