Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

"If you ever hear people gossiping about me and my mother again, whether it's in person or from others, I'll tell you guys..."

The threat, though unspoken, made it all the more frightening.

The person outside the door seemed to have heard her words, and the banging sound became more violent, as if trying to break the door open.

Su Guiying was unafraid. She looked at them with a mocking smile on her face. "There are quite a few men outside. Are you sure you want to let them in? Seeing how embarrassed you are now?"

Her tone was calm, yet it carried an irresistible sense of oppression.

As soon as these words came out, the faces in the room changed instantly, and screams rang out from all sides: "Don't come in!"

The girls' cries were filled with fear and despair. "Get out of here! Mom! Tell the servants to leave!"

They were practically begging, hoping someone would save them from the dire situation.

Wang Zixia was so nervous that her voice changed tone. The other girls were also shouting hysterically: "That's right! Get out of here! Don't come in and watch!"

Their hearts were filled with panic, because right now it was just a grudge between girls, but if they were seen by men outside, they would be so ashamed!

The shouting in the room was heard outside the door, and there was another commotion outside.

Everyone outside the door was talking among themselves, obviously caught off guard by this sudden scene.

But soon, the sound of collision stopped.

Su Guiying sneered, and her eyes swept across every corner of the room like a sharp sword.

She sat on Bai Jinyu's face until her legs felt numb, so she simply stood up.

Unexpectedly, when he stood up, all the young ladies in the room trembled with fear, as if they had been extremely frightened. Their faces turned pale and their expressions were panic-stricken.

Seeing them like this, Su Guiying found it even more amusing. She said in a mocking tone, "Look at you now. You always boast about your good family background and high moral character, but in the end you are afraid of bullying the weak. Just now, when you were outnumbered and humiliated me in every way, why didn't you think of today? I'm not well-educated, but I just learned a word that best describes you."

"Villains are only afraid of violence, but don't know how to be respectful!"

Su Guiying spoke these words word by word with a firm voice.

As soon as the words fell, the cheeks of all the girls in the room immediately turned red as if they were slapped hard in the face, and they were filled with shame and anger.

Wang Zixia's expression was particularly complicated, and she seemed to be in deep regret and entanglement.

She fought back tears, stared at Su Guiying intently, and said in a trembling voice, "It was just a few casual words. Why are you so fierce? Su Guiying, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have a general as your father?"

Her tone was filled with resentment and anger, but also a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, so it's just some small talk."

Su Guiying smiled sarcastically, her anger tinged with coldness. "You insulted me and my mother like this, aren't you trying to drive us into a desperate situation? And now you're pretending to be innocent!"

Her eyes were cold, as biting as the chill wind in winter.

"If I were to rely on my father's position, would you think you were so clever and rude when you fabricated rumors?"

Su Guiying's words lashed at them like a whip, leaving no one able to refute. "Back home, this kind of so-called 'small talk' would have gotten you a beating!"

"Let me be clear. From now on, if I hear anyone in Huizhou gossiping about us mother and daughter again, I will let everyone in the city know about your ugly behavior today!"

Her voice was so powerful and unquestionable that it shook everyone.

"Compared to us mother and daughter, the gossip about those daughters of wealthy families should attract more attention, right?"

Su Guiying's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, instantly making everyone present look pale.

This is exactly the effect that Su Guiying hopes to achieve.

You have to feel the pain yourself to know its power.

She took a deep breath, and her anger subsided a little, and her mood became cheerful.

She didn't want to waste any more time talking in front of this bunch of boring people, so she stood up and prepared to leave the room.

But just after taking a step, she suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards Bai Jinyu who was still lying unconscious on the ground, tore off her clothes, and found several personal belongings in the clothes.

Each item is embroidered with intricate designs, and some even have names embroidered on them.

With these so-called "evidences" in hand, Su Guiying felt more confident and reassured.

With a triumphant smile, Su Guiying said, "I'll take these things for now. If you dare to gossip about me behind my back again, I'll post these things on every gate in the city!"

She added firmly, "If you don't want to lose face, watch your mouth!"

After giving this warning, Su Guiying turned around and walked straight to the door.

Qinglian beside her followed closely behind, and expressed disdain for the group of women who were still sitting in their original seats with embarrassed expressions. She took the initiative to help her move the tables and chairs that were blocking the way to facilitate passage.

There was a slight creaking sound outside the door - Mrs. Wang led several servants and maids and hurried into the room. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help screaming.

But at this moment, Su Guiying had already put everything behind her and left the room regardless of Mrs. Wang's anger and obstruction.

No one at the scene dared to step forward and stop her.

Seeing her beloved daughter begging for mercy with tears in her eyes because of this shock, she said, "Mother, please don't cause any more trouble. Let her go, the farther the better..."

Hearing her daughter's words, although Mrs. Wang felt a pain in her heart, she still resisted the urge to seek justice from the general's mansion. In the end, she just watched Su Guiying's back as she walked away and vented her anger.

However, Su Guiying was not affected at all and still left the palace quickly with firm steps.

After returning home, the first thing she did was to look for her father Su Xu.

Originally, she planned to seek comfort from her mother, Sun Wan, but then she changed her mind and thought: If these people's bad words were to reach her mother's ears, it would only add to her unnecessary sadness; besides, even if she didn't tell the truth to her father today, other people would go and tell him in the future.

It would be better for you to explain it clearly as soon as possible.

So, Su Guiying pushed open the door and walked into the study.

The father, who was concentrating on studying at this moment, looked up at his daughter who had suddenly appeared. His expression relaxed a little and he asked with concern, "You're back? Did you have fun today?"

In fact, long before he left home in the morning, his father already knew that Su Guiying was going to the Wang family to visit her good friend.

Su Xu was very happy to see his daughter quickly integrate into the new social circle and make good friends.

Unexpectedly, Su Guiying did not respond to this question.
