Chapter 112 Instigation
Su Guilan hurried to Anning Village and knocked on the door of Uncle Su's house.

Second Aunt Su muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there a ghost chasing us?"

Ever since they suffered at the hands of Zhang Zhaodi and her daughter, Second Aunt Su now particularly dislikes Su Guilan.

In Second Aunt Su's opinion, if they hadn't helped Su Guilan trick Su Yaoguang into marrying her stupid son, they wouldn't have fallen out with Su Yaoguang and her daughter. Now that Su Yaoguang and her daughter are making money, they haven't benefited at all. No matter how you look at it, it's all the fault of Su Guilan, the unlucky star.

"Where is my mother?" Su Guilan also disliked her second sister-in-law.

Of course, the eldest and third sisters-in-law didn't like it either. Anyway, these sisters-in-law were all annoying.

"She has a headache and is lying in there!" Aunt Su said sarcastically.

Now that the old woman couldn't order Zhang Zhaodi around, she pushed all the housework to her and spent the whole day pretending to be dead in bed.

"Mom..." Su Guilan ran in. "Mom, those two bastards Zhang Zhaodi and Su Yaoguang opened a big shop in the city."

When Second Aunt Su heard this, she stopped complaining and followed Su Guilan inside.

Grandma Su sat up suddenly and asked anxiously, "What kind of shop do you open? Is it profitable?"

"It's a big shop, selling all rouge and powder, and one box costs two taels of silver. She even called her second and third sisters over, and her third brother-in-law, that sickly guy, is keeping the accounts. Do you think they're making any money?"

"That heartless disaster! We are her family. She doesn't think about us when she makes money, but thinks about the group of people in her family who eat for free. No, I have to go find her." Grandma Su went down to the field.

Second Aunt Su stopped Grandma Su, rolled her eyes, and said, "Mom, if you go find her now, she won't recognize you. She says she's severed ties with us and has no relationship with us anymore."

"Just because she said it's okay, it's okay? She married my son, and that money-losing Su Yaoguang is also from my Su family. I shouldn't have signed the severance letter. Now it's turned out like this. It's all your fault!" Grandma Su hit Su Guilan's arm and took out her anger on her.

Su Guilan dodged Grandma Su's beating, feeling the pain. "Oh, Mom, stop hitting me. Let's think of a way to coax Zhang Zhaodi and Su Yaoguang back."

"That mother and daughter are so determined that they won't share the money with us. If we want their money, we have to find another way." Aunt Su waved at them, "I have a plan."

Grandma Su and Su Guilan looked at each other, moved closer to Second Aunt Su, and listened to her "method".

Ever since Su Guilan showed up, Su Yaoguang had been on guard against that family coming to cause trouble, but after waiting for three or four days, he still didn't see them.

Su Yaoguang went out again and came back to ask if those top relatives had come to visit. Zhang Zhaodi said beside her, "Don't worry. We've already signed the severance agreement. Even if they come to us, they won't get any advantage. They're not stupid, so why would they come to us?"

Zhang Zhaodi has been in a good mood these days.

One reason was that Su Guilan's high-ranking relatives hadn't visited them, but the most important thing was that Zhong Lanhua and her daughter across the street had suffered a huge loss, and their business had plummeted. Word had spread that their shop had become a den of rats, and now no one wanted to set foot in it.

A lot of the goods in their store were also damaged and soiled by rats.

The more unlucky Fenghua Pavilion became, the louder Zhang Zhaodi laughed. However, Zhong Lanhua wasn't one to take a loss. Every time Zhang Zhaodi taunted her, she'd start a quarrel with her. These days, the fights have been intense, with passersby often stopping to watch them engage in a three-hundred-round battle.

"How strange! It's raining again," Zhang Pandi said, looking outside. "When it rains, customers don't like to go out, and our business will be affected."

Zhang Yingdi agreed: "Has it rained too much recently?"

"It's normal to have some rain at this time of year." Zhang Zhaodi disagreed.

But Su Yaoguang listened to it.

She seemed to have forgotten something important. It had been so long that she hadn't even thought about such a big thing happening during that time.

There was a period of time in her previous life when it always rained. She was busy supporting her family and ran around with Zhang Zhaodi every day. Even when it was raining heavily, they still went out every day to make a living.

Xiao Yanci lived in the academy, oblivious to what was happening outside, and had no idea how the money was earned during that period.

She and her mother tried their best, looking for work door-to-door, doing the most work for the lowest wages, and only then did they barely get through that most difficult time.

The most important thing is that after the heavy rain, many patients appeared in the city. The disease did not look scary, it was just common cold symptoms, but many people did not survive.

She also contracted the virus, and her mother sold her land to pay for her medical treatment. She lay in bed for half a month before finally surviving. However, she didn't want Xiao Yanci to be distracted, so she never told him about it.

After she recovered, she went to visit Xiao Yanci first, but was met with Xiao Yanci's cold stare. He said that she had not sent him any food or money during this period. If she really could not afford to support him, then she should stop pretending to be rich.

"It hurts..." Zhou Wangshu's cry of pain woke Su Yaoguang up.

Su Yaoguang came to her senses and found that her hand was pinching Zhou Wangshu's arm.

"Feel sorry."

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so obsessed with it and so murderous?"

Zhou Wangshu pointed at the red spot where she pinched him and complained, "It's all red."

"Wangshu, it's been raining so hard lately, something's wrong. I want to prepare some medicinal herbs at home."

"That's no problem. We have a little doctor at home, so it's better to have some herbs on hand just in case," Zhou Wangshu said. "Make a list and I'll go find the pharmacy to buy them."

"I don't know what I need to buy. I'll go find Jing'er and ask her to make a list for me."

Su Yaoguang immediately found Jiang Jing, told her what she was worried about, and then asked her if she had any symptoms similar to a cold but not actually a cold.

Jiang Jing didn't know what she was talking about, but she made a list based on the symptoms she described.

Zhou Wangshu took over this job. Su Yaoguang was worried, so she followed him to the clinic and prepared some various medicinal herbs.

"I'll buy some rice later and store it at home. Think about it, with all this rain, it'll be even harder to transport food here, and the price will definitely go up."

"Yaoguang is right." Zhou Wangshu nodded. "I'll also tell Chen Buyu and Zhong Chushan to prepare some food and medicine at home."

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu were walking with an umbrella.

Xiao Yanci also came out of the bookstore holding an umbrella.

When he saw the two of them talking and laughing, he felt a surge of anger in his heart and ran over with the book in his arms.

He ran very fast and passed directly between Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu.

"Be careful..." Seeing Su Yaoguang falling to the ground, Zhou Wangshu had no time to pull her up, and his whole body fell behind her, becoming her human cushion.
