Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

By this time, Su Mu had already walked quite far and couldn't hear very clearly anymore.

Recalling what those older women had said, Su Mu felt uneasy. Although she wasn't the kind of person they described, others might not think that way. If things continued like this, it would eventually reach her parents' ears, and then things would get complicated.

It's all because Wen Junluo's car was too conspicuous, and I also overlooked the imagination of the neighborhood aunties.

When Su Mu returned home, both her parents had come home early. Her mother was already cooking, and when her father saw her come back, he invited her to sit on the sofa and asked her a few casual questions.

"Xiao Mu, where did you go? Why are you only coming back now?" Although Su's father only graduated from junior high school, he would still occasionally buy a newspaper from a newsstand on the street to read. Now he was talking to Su Mu while holding a newspaper.

Su Mu changed into slippers. The wound on his hand had already been healed downstairs with the removal of the bandage and the healing spell. He walked towards the sofa.

With a smile on her fair face, she said, "I went to the countryside with my classmates to take pictures; we need them for sketching in art class."

As the father and daughter were chatting, Su's mother brought over dishes and invited them to eat.

The family sat down at the dinner table. Su's father picked at the vegetables, hesitated for a while, and then mumbled, "Um, Lili, my mom called me a few days ago."

Su Mu and his mother paused almost simultaneously with their chopsticks. Su Mu's mother then smiled and said, "How would I know your phone number? We haven't had a chance to tell our family back home yet."

Su Mu kept her head down and didn't say a word. Su's father was talking about her grandmother, "Wang Xiaofang," a proper old rural woman who still held onto the old-fashioned ideas of valuing sons over daughters. She was also sharp-tongued, greedy for small gains, and most importantly, greedy for money.

Back then, Su Mu's mother was pregnant before her husband's wife even showed any signs of pregnancy. So, Su Mu's grandmother took care of her in private and showed off in public. But as soon as Su Mu was born, Su Mu's grandmother fainted. Before she fainted, she weakly said, "What a waste of money." When she woke up, she kept saying that she wanted to throw Su Mu away, but Su Mu's mother refused no matter what.

Torn between his mother and his wife and child, Su's father was caught in the middle. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to keep the child. From that moment on, Su's grandmother's attitude towards Su's mother turned completely sour. When Su Mu was little, he would look at his mother and son with disdain and dislike. As Su Mu grew older, he started to pick and choose, ordering them around. But Su Mu was only four or five years old at that time, and he was inevitably weak and broke things. Whenever Su's grandmother heard any noise or said that Su Mu had broken something, she would immediately drop what she was doing and come to catch Su Mu.

As soon as they caught Su Mu, they would curse and pinch her fingertips with a sinister force. Su Mu would usually dodge and hide, not daring to cry loudly. Although Su Mu's parents found out later, they were still angry, but she was still his mother, so they had to swallow their anger and endure it. Half of the reason they came to the city to work was because of Su Mu's grandmother. They simply couldn't bear it any longer.

Despite Grandma Su's harsh treatment of Su Mu, she dotes on her other granddaughters, Su Mu's aunt's daughters. Her aunt married a wealthy businessman and they live a good life, except for having two daughters in a row. But Grandma Su just loves these two daughters, because they have such rich fathers.

So when Grandma Su was mentioned, both Su's mother and Su Mu felt a little uncomfortable. Actually, Su Mu was alright. After all, he had lived through a previous life and still harbored resentment, but it wasn't as intense as in the previous life. But Su's mother was different. She had always doted on Su Mu since he was little, but Grandma Su had repeatedly beaten and scolded him. Although Su's mother had never said a word to Grandma Su, she was actually seething with hatred in her heart.
