137 Torturing Su Jinniang

After coming out of Su Yuniang’s room, Su Xiaoxiao bumped into Old Master Su and Su Jinniang.

Old Master Su was checking the accounts in the central room while Su Jinniang made tea for him.

Old Master Su had a lot of fields under his name. His family could not finish planting them, so he rented a portion out. The yearly rent was ten to twenty taels.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t deliberately ask where these lands came from, but she had heard from the villagers.

It was 30 years ago that Old Master Su’s father used his ancestral jade pendant to exchange for food to help the villagers. In return, the village agreed to give the Su family a large piece of land.

Not to mention, the Su family had bought two acres of land from Old Master Su.

When the two of them saw Su Xiaoxiao, they revealed… disdain.

It had not been a day or two since the Old Master Su’s family looked down on her family. Su Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn’t rush to receive their cold shoulders.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t greet the two of them. To be precise, she didn’t even look at them.

Old Master Su frowned.

At this moment, Su Yuniang’s father and eldest brother returned from Shallow Water Village. They probably had something to tell Old Master Su, but because Fatty Su was present, it was not appropriate for them to speak.

“Collect the accounts.” After instructing Su Jinniang, Old Master Su walked out with a serious expression.

Only Su Xiaoxiao and Su Jinniang were left in the central room.

Su Jinniang obediently put away the account books on the table. She had been learning from her grandfather these days and actually had some thoughts.

Since Fatty Su could read, and she was smarter than her, she would definitely be capable of being literate too!

The truth was that she had been “learning” from her grandfather for more than half a month and her progress was not smooth.

Old Master Su would not spend time and energy teaching a granddaughter to read. This was one of the reasons. The second reason was that Su Jinniang did not have the talent to learn.

However, Su Jinniang would not admit that she was stupid. She only hated herself for not marrying a good husband. Otherwise, she would have recognized more words than Fat Lass Su!

“Don’t come to my house for no reason!” Su Jinniang said coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile, “You care quite a lot. First, you care about my clothes, and now you care where I go. What do you think you are to me?”

Su Jinniang said coldly, “This is my house. You’re not welcome here!”

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “What’s wrong with me coming?”

Su Jinniang used to like Fat Lass Su being around her because she was fat and ugly. She imitated her clothes and walked, making Su Jinniang look like a fairy.

It was different now.

Fatty Su had become beautiful and stopped learning to dress like her. On the other hand, many people in the village began to imitate Fatty Su’s hairstyle and jewelry.

If Fatty Su tied her hair into a bun, they would do the same.

If Fatty Su wore two braids, so did they.

In the past, when she went to the well to get water, everyone was talking about her clothes and jewelry. Now, it became — “Daya’s clothes are so beautiful! Where did you buy the materials? I’ll go to town to buy them another day!”

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Su Jinniang did feel a huge sense of crisis. As long as she approached Fatty Su, Su Jinniang would be jealous for no reason.

“The account book is upside down,” Su Xiaoxiao reminded kindly.

Su Jinniang couldn’t read and didn’t notice that some of the accounts were inverted.

“I know! You don’t have to remind me!” Su Jinniang blushed and turned one of the ledgers over.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Not this one.”

Since Su Xiaoxiao had OCD, she couldn’t stand it!

“The third book!”

Su Jinniang slammed the account book on the table and glared at Su Xiaoxiao. “So what if you know a few words? Did you come specially to show off in front of me?”

Su Xiaoxiao was confused. “Su Jinniang, are you crazy? Showing off to you? Would I feel a sense of accomplishment?”

Su Jinniang felt that she had been underestimated, and her pride suffered a huge blow.

In her anger, she blurted out, “As someone who had been defiled by a wild man, what right do you have to compare to me?”

“Who’s competing with you…”

Wait.

Defiled?

Wild man?

Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on Su Jinniang’s face.

Su Jinniang realized that she had let it slip and quickly picked up the account book and walked back.

Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the table indifferently. “Su Jinniang, stop right there and make yourself clear. What do you mean by wild man? What’s this about defiling?”

She only had one man, and that was Wei Ting.

She and Wei Ting were husband and wife in name. Even if they really slept together, it would be called matrimonial sex and boudoir pleasure. It was only right and proper. There was no taint.

Therefore, Su Jinniang was not referring to Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Jinniang deeply. “Did you do it?”

Su Jinniang froze.

She didn’t turn around. She carried the ledger and hurried to the backyard.

Even a fool could tell that something was wrong with her guilty look.

Su Xiaoxiao knew it. She was digging for wild vegetables. How did she meet Cripple Feng?

In addition, Cripple Feng had gone up the mountain empty-handed. He would not stroll there unless his intent was to stop her.

However, she had always assumed that Cripple Feng had followed her and never thought of Su Jinniang.

That’s right. Before going up the mountain, she had met Su Jinniang behind the kitchen of the Su family. Su Jinniang knew where she was.

Su Xiaoxiao followed.

Su Jinniang heard footsteps behind her and turned around in a panic. “Fatty Su, what are you doing!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her indifferently. “It was you.”

Su Jinniang’s eyes flashed. “What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying!”

Su Xiaoxiao mocked, “You don’t understand. Are your ears or your brain not working well? Alright, I’ll help you wash up.”

“You… ah!”

Before Su Jinniang could finish, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the back of her neck and pressed her into the water tank in front of her!

With a loud splash, Su Jinniang was pressed into the cold water like a chick! Her arm trembled, and the account books in her arms fell to the ground!

She struggled hard, but her strength was nothing to Su Xiaoxiao!

Su Xiaoxiao lifted her head. “Su Jinniang, I gave you basic respect. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

This was the first time Su Jinniang had truly experienced the power of the Su family’s little bully. She really did not understand how Su Yuniang dared to fight with such a bully girl when she was young. She was terrified. She didn’t know if it was from the cold or fear, but she was trembling.

“Grandpa… Dad… ”

She let out a cry for help like a pig being slaughtered.

“Huh.”

Su Xiaoxiao pressed her into the water again and Su Jinniang almost drowned in the water tank!

There was no pity in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

It was fine if she ran to Wei Ting to make her presence known. It was just a woman’s flirtation and Wei Ting would not fall for that.

But she actually baited Cripple Feng to attack her!

Cripple Feng was a relative of the Su family. How could Su Jinniang not know what he was like?

She was not afraid of Cripple Feng, and could defeat him even if ten more came. However, she hated Su Jinniang’s vicious thoughts!

“Fatty Su, what are you doing? Let go of my sister!”
