Although the aunt looks honest and even gave Su Zhizhi the gold hairpin in order to pay back the money she owed her, she is actually not a pushover.

The aunt looked at Su Zhizhi's departing back, then thought of her treasured gold hairpin, and suddenly she felt heartbroken.

There was a hint of resentment in the aunt's eyes. She was determined to make Su Zhizhi regret her actions today. She turned around and got on the donkey cart back to the village to pay a visit to the old lady.

The old lady was naturally very happy to see the aunt. She took the aunt's hand and said gently, "My good daughter-in-law, I heard that you went to town recently. How are you doing?"

The eldest aunt smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "Reporting to Mother, my daughter-in-law has been doing well recently, but..."

As my aunt spoke, she pretended to be hesitant to speak.

"What is it?" the old grandmother asked quickly when she saw this.

"It's not Zhizhi's fault, it's my husband's fault. He invested in the restaurant opened by Zhizhi and her friends. A few days ago, he advanced some of Zhizhi's salary."

"But today Zhizhi asked him to return it. My husband had already spent all his money and had no money left to pay her back. So my daughter-in-law mortgaged her gold hairpin to Zhizhi to settle the matter."

The aunt told the old lady what had happened in the past few days, exaggerating it.

The old lady was extremely angry when she heard this. She had been dissatisfied with Su Zhizhi for a while and had been suppressed by Su Zhizhi without any reason or opportunity to refute. Now that her aunt had handed her a ready-made excuse, she naturally had to climb up the ladder.

The old lady touched her aunt's shoulder with a kind look on her face and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely support you in this matter and severely reprimand Su Zhizhi and her family."

In this way, the old lady rushed to Laiyue Building in a hurry to "do a big job".

Inside Laiyue Building.

As soon as the old lady entered the store, the waiter came over and said, "Hello, sir, what would you like to order?"

The old lady glanced at the waiter and said arrogantly, "Go and call your shopkeeper over to me."

The waiter saw that the old lady's attitude was not very good and guessed that she was probably looking for trouble again, so he didn't move.

Just as the waiter was thinking about how to deal with this matter, Su Zhizhi happened to pass by with dishes.

The old lady became excited when she saw Su Zhizhi. She pointed at Su Zhizhi's nose and started cursing.

"Okay! You're such a cold-blooded person! You opened such a big restaurant, but your uncle only asked you for such a small amount of money, and you were reluctant to give it to him. After giving it to him, you even asked your aunt to return the gold hairpin to you. How can you behave like this? You're so stingy! Is this how you treat your elders? Who taught you that?"

The old lady likes to use moral blackmail on others as always. Maybe Meng will fall for her tricks, but Su Zhizhi may not.

The old lady's words attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the old lady was very proud, thinking that she would be able to bring down Su Zhizhi this time and destroy Su Zhizhi's reputation in the eyes of everyone.

However, Su Zhizhi herself was no longer surprised by the old lady's remarks, and she responded without hesitation.

"The money for the restaurant was also earned by our family and the waiters and cooks present here through hard work. What does it have to do with my uncle? He said he invested in technology stocks. What technology did he bring to the restaurant?"

"He can't even cook, let alone stir-fry. He's so lazy all day and still wants to get paid for nothing. How can such a thing be possible? On top of that, he embezzled our public funds while collecting bills and treated the waiters and customers rudely. What kind of upbringing is that?"

"And you can't stand our family being okay, can you? Whenever something happens in our family, you always like to interfere. What kind of elder are you? I think you're just a black-hearted old lady!"

Su Zhizhi said to the old lady in front of everyone without hesitation.

Su Zhizhi's words instantly aroused everyone's approval, and many regular customers stood on Su Zhizhi's side and echoed her.

"Yes, what kind of elder is she?"

"That's right, their family is so shameless, as disgusting as leeches. They always suck the blood of Su Zhizhi's family, just because they can't stand seeing others doing well."

"It's so unlucky to have such relatives. Oh, how shameless!"

……

Everyone was talking at each other, and in an instant the old lady was almost drowned by saliva and spit. Seeing that the situation was not in her favor, the old lady did not dare to say anything more and could only leave in shame.

Liu Mansion.

The butler told Mr. Liu everything that happened in Laiyue Tower today.

When Mr. Liu heard this, his eyes lit up. He was worried that he had no evidence to bring down Su Zhizhi and the others. Now the Su family automatically handed the evidence to him. He absolutely could not miss it.

Mr. Liu immediately slammed the table and said, "Okay, then go and get Su Zhizhi's grandmother to come to your house so I can catch up with her."

Mr. Liu looked at the housekeeper meaningfully and spoke.

"Yes, sir." The butler immediately understood.

countryside.

I saw Mr. Liu's housekeeper driving a carriage to the courtyard where the old lady lived, and then he reached out and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from inside the yard, and the old lady's voice, "Who is it?"

After she finished speaking, the yard door creaked open by the old lady.

The old lady opened the gate of the yard and found a stranger, but looking at the clothes the man was wearing, the carriage he was riding in, and the people accompanying him, she knew that the man must be from a wealthy family.

The old lady searched her mind for everyone she knew, but still couldn't find who the other person was. After hesitating for a while, she finally asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"Oh, hello, old lady. I am the housekeeper of Mr. Liu in town. Our master specially invited me to bring your family to his house to chat and get to know each other."

The housekeeper looked at the old lady and smiled.

When the old lady heard that he was a wealthy man in town, she thought, "He must be a rich man. What a great opportunity!"

Thinking of this, the old lady nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, okay, it's really my honor."

In this way, the whole family, young and old, got on the carriage heading to Liu's house.

A few hours later, the old lady and her family arrived at the Liu Mansion. Led by the housekeeper, they came to the front hall.

When Mr. Liu saw the old lady appear, he immediately showed a satisfied smile and took the initiative to step forward and greet her, "Thank you for your hard work. I asked you to come here."
