In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

The saying "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" probably doesn't apply here. After today's incident, I'm sure no one will dare to try to steal the beams and pillars again.

Su Li dismissed the people and sent the rest of the Wu family back, only taking Xiao Qianshi and Wu Yue into the mansion.

After entering the house, Su Li looked at the awkward mother and daughter in front of her and said, "Don't be nervous. I called you here not to cause you trouble, but to ask for your thoughts."

"Today I threw Old Lady Wu into jail. Although she saw the indifference of the rest of the Wu family, it's uncertain whether she will change her attitude towards you after she gets out."

"If she doesn't change her attitude, you can imagine what your days ahead will be like."

Hearing this, the mother and daughter felt heavy-hearted, clearly having considered this possibility as well.

Looking at Su Li's determined gaze, Madam Qian mustered up her courage and said, "She won't change. Even if she knows that others are not filial, she will not change her attitude."

Qian's certainty caught Su Li's attention, and she asked, "In that case, what do you plan to do?"

Little Qian was surprised that Su Li would ask such a question. She looked up in shock, and after a moment, she finally made up her mind and said, "We want to separate the family."

Su Li had expected this. She was right; Xiao Qianshi looked timid, but in reality, she was more decisive than anyone else.

“Dividing the family property is not easy these days. First of all, we need to get Old Lady Wu’s consent. Can you get Old Lady Wu’s consent?” Su Li asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian's tense shoulders slowly slumped, and she shook her head, saying, "Impossible, she would never agree now."

Wu Yue, who was standing to the side, also realized this and nodded in agreement, saying, "It's impossible. Grandma would never let go of the opportunity to torture us openly."

The mother and daughter were both feeling down for a moment, and they didn't dare to imagine what kind of trouble the Wu family would cause after Old Mrs. Wu returned.

The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment, and it was then that Su Li spoke up, "How about I think of a solution for you?"

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter's eyes immediately lit up, and Madam Qian even kowtowed to Su Li, saying, "I beg for your guidance, Madam."

Upon hearing this, Su Li waved her hand and said, "It's not really about giving guidance, but you all need to agree to this method yourselves."

The mother and daughter were eager to escape the Wu family, so upon hearing Su Li's words, they immediately asked, "What method do you have, Madam? Please tell us."

Since both Mrs. Qian and her daughter had said so, Su Li stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Although what Old Lady Wu did this time was serious, it didn't cause too much trouble. I can't keep her locked up forever. She will be released one day."

"As for whether to come out early or late, that depends on your choice. If you really want to separate, this might be a good solution."

Neither Madam Qian nor young Miss Wu Yue were fools; they both understood the meaning behind Su Li's words. They exchanged a glance, and then Madam Qian respectfully said, "We want to separate the family as soon as possible so that life won't be too difficult in the future."

Upon hearing this, Su Li immediately understood what the Qian mother and daughter meant, and then smiled and asked, "No regrets?"

Seeing that Su Li's tone was not so serious, Xiao Qian and Wu Yue relaxed.

Because Su Li was the person Wu Yue admired most, she became more talkative after hearing Su Li say this, and then she spoke frankly: "Madam, we would rather live a peaceful life than enjoy fleeting pleasures."

It was hard to imagine that these words came from a teenage girl. Su Li was a little surprised, but then she thought it was normal.

"What's your opinion?" Su Li asked, looking at Xiao Qian Shi beside her.

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian nodded repeatedly and said, "Yue'er's meaning is my meaning. Thank you, Madam."

Upon hearing this, Su Li did not refuse, but said, "Don't rush to thank me, I have something else I want to tell you."

"Please speak, Madam," said Madam Qian earnestly.

Little Qian was incredibly grateful for being able to help them escape the quagmire of the Wu family, and now she would give them more than just one thing, even many.

Seeing that Xiao Qian was nervous, Su Li smiled and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if you would like to come and work in the workshop. My workshop is still short of a manager."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian seemed unable to believe what she had heard. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Madam, are you mistaken? I am just a woman, and it may not be appropriate for me to be a stewardess."

Having anticipated that Xiao Qian would say that, Su Li looked at her and said, "I'm afraid you were behind this whole thing. You probably knew that old woman Wu would do this."

Su Li's words were certain, which silenced Xiao Qian Shi. After a long while, Xiao Qian Shi lowered her head and admitted her mistake, saying, "Madam, you are right. I did expect this. I don't know what my mother-in-law will do, but I can guess that she will not let this go."

"Because I understand my mother-in-law, I told my friend early on to keep an eye on things. If the person who reports isn't Yue'er, then make a big fuss about it, the bigger the better."

After explaining her scheme in detail, Madam Qian lowered her head in shame. She knew she had been too calculating, but she had no choice; she wouldn't allow anyone to take away her daughter's place.

Hearing this, Wu Yue understood the truth of the matter. Fearing that Su Li would punish her mother, she got up and knelt in front of Xiao Qian Shi, blocking the person from view.

"Madam, my mother did all this because of me. Please don't punish her. I will take full responsibility for all the mistakes," Wu Yue said, admitting her wrongdoing.

Hearing Wu Yue's words and seeing the disapproving look on Xiao Qian's face behind her, Su Li raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Who said I was going to punish you?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian looked at Su Li in surprise and asked incredulously, "Madam, don't you think what I'm doing is too calculating and too unfilial?"

“I don’t think so. I think what you’re doing is right,” Su Li said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian and her daughter Wu Yue were somewhat confused, unsure whether Su Li's words were true or false.

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Su Li explained, "It's already hard enough for women to live in this world. If they don't know how to fight back, their lives will be even more miserable. You are not wrong. They are the ones who are wrong."

"It is not wrong to seek help from outside sources when you know that you are not strong enough."

"It's good to be filial to your parents, but blind obedience is not acceptable, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian lowered her head in thought, and after a moment she looked up and said, "Madam, I understand."
