Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Whenever the topic was brought up, Jiang Panhua revealed her sarcastic personality. Su Di, who was standing next to her, secretly glared at her as a warning, but Jiang Panhua ignored her husband's presence.

The grievances she had suffered in the Su family during these days were not in vain. Even though she couldn't get anything back right now, at least she couldn't bear the grievances anymore.

Jiang Panhua looked at Su Wanwan and said slowly: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't think that everything will be fine if you can get some benefits here. The superficial treatment is all hypocrisy. If you really believe it, you are really stupid." There was a hint of sourness in her words, and before she finished speaking, she secretly added more.

These hidden meanings can be heard clearly without deep thought: in this family, the two daughters-in-law are outsiders and are naturally easily regarded as different.

Su Wanwan chewed the food slowly and did not respond. In the past, she would have been determined to fight back against such provocations, but today, she was in a very good mood. First, Xu Yan had returned, and second, she had the opportunity to go to the next village with him to exchange and study... Thinking of these, she was in a particularly good mood.

Hearing this, Su Wanwan responded softly: "Yes, mother has always treated me well." Although her tone was gentle, it planted a factor of uneasiness in Jiang Panhua's heart. Jiang Shuzhen then lowered her head to eat without saying anything more. The other people at the table were also enjoying their food quietly. The only sound in the entire living room was the sound of chopsticks lightly hitting plates and bowls. This made Jiang Panhua feel for the first time that her existence seemed to be ignored.

After dinner, Su Wanwan took a cool shower and went to bed happily. The shawls that she had asked her mother and sister-in-law to knit had been taken away by Xu Yan, who told them to hide them strictly and not let Jiang Panhua find out.

After all, those fights allowed Jiang Panhua to express her dissatisfaction with being ignored in this work without any concealment. This woman could make a big fuss at any time.

Fortunately, the shawl that was completed this time eliminated any direct evidence, and no matter how much Jiang Panhua made a fuss, she could not shake the Su family's interests in the slightest. As for future problems, she could discuss and deal with them with Xu Yan after returning to Baihua Village.

After settling down her mind, Su Wanwan felt more relaxed than ever before. She had been very nervous for the past few days, and now she was finally able to relax and soon fell asleep. In the dimness, she seemed to hear some unusual noises outside the window. However, she was too sleepy, and she turned over and sank into a coma again. But suddenly she realized that these unusual noises became clearer, like the sound of gravel deliberately knocking on the window glass.

She persisted for a moment, but ultimately could not stand this unwarranted disturbance. Su Wanwan barely mustered up the strength to sit up, stumbled to the window, pushed it open and looked out. The night sky was already pitch black, with only the moon covered by dark clouds shining below. The lights in other rooms of the Su family's house were off, and it was obviously late at night.

Su Wanwan muttered doubtfully, "This is strange, could it really be haunted?" Just as she was thinking about closing the doors and windows and taking a rest again, she saw another small stone hit the windowsill with incredible precision.

In the dead of night, the sound was soft but extremely clear.

Su Wanwan finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she half-opened the window again, stuck her head out of the window, looked at the gate of the Su family's house not far away, and asked, "Who's over there?"

The voice was low, and after saying this, Su Wanwan felt that this was absurd. Who could throw stones at her in the middle of the night for no reason?

The footsteps at night were getting closer and closer. Su Wanwan held her breath and listened, squinting her eyes in disbelief. She thought to herself, could it be that her guess was right, and there really was some supernatural phenomenon?

"I shouldn't have come to disturb your sweet dream. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come." She had even begun to imagine that it might be an image of a ghost, but she was stunned when she heard Xu Yan's voice in her ears.

When she turned around in surprise, she happened to see Xu Yan, who was half-sticking out of the darkness. Seeing the real and living figure, Su Wanwan let out a long sigh and slowly relaxed: "You suddenly appeared, can't you be a little more normal? Why are you playing tricks on me..."

As if sensing that her complaint contained some reproach, Xu Yan said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "I thought you could see me."

"Hey... what do you want to talk to me about? Are you coming in from outside the yard?" Pulling Xu Yan's arm, Su Wanwan moved towards the window and quietly opened it to signal him to come in for a conversation. "It's not appropriate to hang around here. What if my parents or my brother and sister-in-law wake up at night and see you? How can you make up an excuse?"

After hearing this, Xu Yan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, but then he concealed it and nodded.

"Since you've been standing outside for so long, how should I explain it if they see us..." Su Wanwan had a simple mind and did not think too much about his psychological activities.

After a brief thought, Xu Yan jumped into the room swiftly without stirring up any dust, and the window closed gently behind him. Su Wanwan then closed the curtains and led him to sit down at the table in the bedroom.

"Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?" Although he had entered the room and the danger level had decreased, everyone else in the house was already asleep. Su Wanwan's bedroom was next to the kitchen, her parents' room was opposite the kitchen, and her eldest brother Su Gao's room was at the west end of the same wing as the dining room, so they would be alert to any slight sound.

Mimicking Wanwan's posture and lowering his voice, Xu Yan quickly took out the money and put it in her hand: "This is the money I got from selling my cloak. There is something else I need to tell you."

"I just happen to have something to tell you." She casually put the money in the drawer, turned around and looked directly at Xu Yan's eyes that were expecting verification, and said, "Go ahead."

Under the dim, swaying light of the oil lamp, Su Wanwan somehow developed a sense of pity for Xu Yan's somewhat stern face in front of her. Perhaps it was the swaying of the lights that made her feel a strange charm.

"It's not a big problem actually. This afternoon, when I was writing at the radio station, I heard your brother Xu En and his friends discussing destroying your car, but I stopped them." Su Wanwan succinctly recounted the events that happened in the afternoon, with a hint of worry in her tone: "But you still have to be wary of him, even though he may have the intention to steal but not the courage to do so. If he suddenly...does something in secret, you have to be prepared."

Su Wanwan didn't think that she overestimated her youngest son's character.

"I know what you are talking about. My eldest and second sisters specifically told me about this today." Xu Yan was surprised that Su Wanwan was so concerned about the family situation, and his tone was a little stuttering.

"So what do your two sisters think of your younger brother? Is there any new news from your father? How is his condition?" Thinking that if no one is controlling him, the younger brother of the Xu family might be on a clear path.

When this "Xiao Si" was mentioned, Su Wanwan immediately thought of the young men she had met in the town. Among them was a man with a monkey face and a pointed mouth who looked exactly like the grown-up Fourth Brother Xu.

"My eldest sister has contributed a lot to the family and she is not talkative. My second sister, on the other hand, often criticizes him."
