She secretly thought in her heart that if he truly repented, it would not be a bad idea to show some leniency.

Just as Jiang Ziling said, there is no reason to be on guard against your family members every day in life. Living in a state of caution and calculation for a long time is unbearable for anyone.

However, the road to reconciliation is always full of twists and turns.

Seeing Su Yu so straightforward, Zhao quickly responded, "Oh, it's great that you think so! It's all because of my old age and confusion that I didn't treat Ziling well enough in the past, which led to him leaving home. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you two should move back with Xier and we can live together."

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

She looked around. Jiang Ziling had a frown on his face, Xie Xinghua lowered her head and silently picked at the rice in the bowl, the children had puzzled looks on their faces, and the others had different thoughts.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Su Yu chose to perfunctorily deal with the matter for the time being: "Mom, what are you talking about? Aren't we living together now? We are all in this big family."

Her tone sounded gentle, but with a subtle sense of alienation.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Zhao quickly added an explanation, with an even brighter smile on her face: "Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. What I meant was that our whole family should make decisions together, no matter how big or small the matter is, and act together. This is what makes us a complete family."

Zhao's proposal sounded warm and beautiful, but to Su Yu, it seemed so unrealistic.

Jiang Ziling had finally become independent these years, and his life was gradually getting back on track. How could he easily return to the place where he once felt so bound and get involved in those tangled household chores? Moreover, there was no distinction between you and me in the family, so could it be that in the future, even the daily necessities of life would be taken care of by her? Su Yu smiled bitterly in her heart. This idea was simply a fantasy.

Su Yu leaned lazily against the back of the chair, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said mercilessly: "Jiang Youfu is no longer alive, so what's the point of talking about family happiness and reunion?"

Her tone was calm but sharp, obviously intended to touch the pain that Zhao was unwilling to face and break the superficial illusion of peace.

Zhao's face suddenly turned gloomy, anger welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard to control herself and not let her emotions get out of control.

Seeing that Su Yu was so stubborn and his words were quite sarcastic, the people around him couldn't help but show dissatisfaction.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard, who was about the same age as Li Bo, stepped forward. Although his voice was a little vicissitudes, it was still powerful: "How can you, daughter-in-law, talk to your mother-in-law? Even if Jiang Youfu has a thousand faults, he is still your brother-in-law. Let alone family affection, the dead are respected. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for speaking so recklessly?"

The old man's words contained both reproach and a hint of instruction from an elder.

Su Yu's eyes moved around, carefully sizing up the strange but revered old man in front of him, with a smile on his face: "God's punishment?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, and then she continued lightly, "You are right, God is always fair. Jiang Youfu's accidental drowning may be the so-called retribution. And I, a person who has done my best to treat illnesses and save lives and accumulated good deeds, will be blessed by God and live a long and healthy life. Why should I be afraid of retribution?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes widened. He was obviously shocked by Su Yu's sharp and direct words, and was speechless for a moment.

In this small Willow Village, he was highly respected as the former village chief, and no one had ever dared to contradict him like this, let alone a young woman.

Uncle Li, who was standing by, had a better understanding of Su Yu's attitude and position because he had benefited from her before.

He knew in his heart that this seemingly indifferent girl had once saved his wife's life. As for Jiang Youfu's character... Uncle Li sighed in his heart, this was really difficult to judge.

Never mind. After all, the person has passed away and should be respected.

As the current village chief, Uncle Li had always disapproved of some of the Zhao family's practices. He came here more out of duty, hoping to reconcile the conflict between the two families.

After all, harmony is the most important thing among neighbors. It is easier to resolve a feud than to create one. It is always better to have less confrontation under the same roof.

However, seeing Su Yu's firm attitude, he couldn't help but worry secretly that this matter might not be easy to resolve.

Seeing that everyone was speechless after hearing Su Yu's words, Fang Qin was anxious and couldn't help but stand up and scold: "You are too mean, woman. How could my family be so rich and treat you badly? Everyone is gone, and you are still so cold and mean!"

Fang Qin's words were full of protectiveness.

Su Yu sneered in his heart when he heard this.

Yes, they still don’t know what Jiang Youfu did to her that day by the river.

So, let’s just lift the veil today and let the truth be known to the world.

"Why are you treating me so badly? Oh, it seems you really don't know."

Su Yu's voice was filled with sarcasm. "Not long after I got married, I encountered a crisis by the river, and the man who had evil intentions was Jiang Youfu. Not only did he try to insult me, he almost caused the entire Ziling Village to fall into panic and chaos because of this incident! Afterwards, because of hatred, he even broke into my house in the middle of the night with a knife, intending to kill our family of three! Let me ask you, is such a deep hatred not considered big?"

"Shouldn't such a person be punished by God?"

Su Yu's words were powerful and there was silence all around. Even the experienced old village chief was shocked that they knew nothing about these things.

Regarding the time when Jiang Ziling held a knife, everyone only heard that he was mistaken for a thief and knocked unconscious due to a misunderstanding, but they never thought that there was such a thrilling story hidden behind it.

Uncle Li and the village chief looked at each other in astonishment, their hearts filled with indescribable surprise. They had never expected that behind this family feud, there was such a complicated entanglement.

Zhao's eyes seemed to be lit up by sudden realization. She whispered in disbelief with every word: "So, that day when Youfu came back from outside in dishevel and in a state of embarrassment, that embarrassing scene was also planned by you... carefully?"

Su Yu's face was calm, but there was a sharp light in her eyes. She admitted without hiding anything: "Yes, it was me who did it. If he doesn't repent and continues to indulge in his lust, then he will definitely learn a lesson."

"You...you..."

Zhao was shocked and her fingers trembled as she pointed at Su Yu. Her fingertips trembled unconsciously with anger.

Zhao's heart was filled not only with anger, but also with deep helplessness and sorrow - if all this had not happened, how could Youfu have been resentful of that public humiliation, leading him to go astray and harm others, eventually suffering mental damage and ending up drowning and becoming an idiot.

Fang Qin, who was standing by, saw that Su Yu was in control of the atmosphere, and her eyes gleamed.
