Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation

Chapter 248 What is the Rice Shop Girl Doing?

In that turbulent era of war and scarcity, a sense of unease always permeated the streets of Qingcheng.

The original owner of Su Su's father ran a rice shop. During those difficult times of food shortage, the rice shop was the mainstay of the family, allowing the Su family to live a relatively prosperous life.

One day, a ragged and haggard young man named Yu Guogang was staggering on the streets of Qingcheng when he finally collapsed in front of Su's father's rice shop.

Mr. Su was kind-hearted, so he quickly had someone bring him rice porridge and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

After Yu Guogang regained consciousness, he was extremely grateful to Su's father and earnestly begged him to give him a job so that he could have something to eat.

Yu Guogang was a diligent worker, and after a few weeks, he had managed all the odd jobs in the shop in an orderly manner.

Su's father saw this and was very pleased. In addition, the young man was handsome, strong and energetic.

At that time, Su's father's eldest daughter, who was also Su Su's older sister, had just returned home after her divorce and was depressed all day long.

Looking at Yu Guogang, Su's father had a plan in mind. He thought that his eldest daughter might like such a down-to-earth and capable person. If he could recruit him as a son-in-law, that would be the best thing ever.

Father Su thought to himself that he only had two precious daughters. His younger daughter, Su Su, was still young, and he could take his time to choose and plan her future marriage. She could marry if she wanted to, or carefully consider finding a husband if she wanted to.

If the eldest daughter finds a good husband, he will have someone to rely on for his old age, and the whole family can live a harmonious and happy life.

Su's father was an open-minded man. He specifically sought Yu Guogang's opinion. Yu Guogang smiled honestly and readily agreed, but in his heart he secretly wondered if Su's father was looking down on him and was intentionally humiliating him.

But now that he was living under someone else's roof, he still chose to marry his eldest daughter, given this rare opportunity.

After the marriage, Yu Guogang was extremely obedient to Su's father, and he listened to Su's father's arrangements in everything, which made Su's father very happy.

As the days went by, Yu Guogang, through his scheming and ingenuity, gradually took control of most of the rice shop's affairs and slowly figured out Su's father's network of connections.

Just as he had gained a foothold, Su's father's health suddenly deteriorated day by day. The doctor came to examine him and said it was just a cold, but after several doses of medicine, there was no improvement, and a few days later, Su's father passed away.

Before Su's father was even buried, Yu Guogang tore off his mask of pretense and his attitude towards the original owner's sister changed drastically. He immediately called her a "slut," and his former gentleness and consideration vanished without a trace.

The original owner couldn't stand it and wanted to help her sister get justice, but she didn't expect to be targeted by Yu Guogang because of it.

Yu Guogang harbored evil intentions and drugged the original owner of the body, attempting to force her into a relationship and control her as well.

After regaining consciousness, the original owner was terrified. Unwilling to submit, she relied on her familiarity with her own yard and frantically crawled through the dog hole to escape.

Upon discovering this, Yu Guogang immediately led his men to give chase.

In the chaos, the original owner slipped and fell into the raging river. She struggled desperately, but having never been able to swim since childhood, she was ultimately swallowed by the merciless river and perished.

On a winter afternoon, the warm sunlight shone sparsely through the carved window lattices into the Su family's living room.

As soon as Su Su stepped across the threshold, she saw her father and sister Su Yue sitting in the hall, talking about something.

Su's father cleared his throat and slowly began to speak, focusing on Yu Guogang while his gaze lingered more on Su Yue.

“Moon, although the Yu family’s son is willing to marry into the family, we will be family from now on, and we will see each other every day. I can’t ignore your thoughts, my two daughters.”

This marriage was a major event for the Su family. The son-in-law, who was marrying into the family, held an important position in the household, and his future would be intertwined with the rise and fall of the Su family.

The moment Su's father turned his gaze to Su Su, the three of them felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer. A sharp pain struck them, and memories of their past lives surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Su Yue's eyes reddened, tears welled up, and she cried out in a sobbing voice, "Father!" Her voice was full of grievance and lingering fear.

"Father, I don't want Yu Guogang! He's a devil in human skin, an ungrateful wretch!"

Su Yue cried so hard her shoulders trembled, her mind filled with the tragic scenes of her past life.

She recalled her father's wrongful death and her sister's innocent demise. She had tried her best to reclaim the family property that Yu Guogang had seized, but he had instead framed her, branded her as a harlot, and ultimately drowned her in a pig cage.

The icy river water and the indifferent gazes of the crowd felt like needles piercing her heart, making her wish she could find Yu Guogang immediately and turn all the resentment in her heart into a sharp blade to stab that heartless man.

Father Su's eyes also reddened, tears streaming down his cheeks. His lips trembled as he murmured, "It's all my fault. I was blind back then and made the wrong choice..."

His voice was choked with remorse and self-blame.

He never imagined that the son-in-law he had carefully chosen would be the culprit who ruined the Su family.

Filled with remorse and anger, Su's father could hardly suppress his emotions. He hurriedly found Yu Guogang, and after a fierce confrontation, he killed this former "ungrateful" son-in-law, torturing him thoroughly before letting him die.

A few days later, Su's father began looking for a new son-in-law.

Having endured hardships in her past life, Su Yue had seen through men. In this life, she was determined to take control of her own destiny and no longer place her hopes on others.

With a mix of trepidation and determination, she poured out her thoughts to her father: "Dad, I don't want to get married again. I want to forge my own path. I believe that with my abilities, I can live a good life."

Mr. Su's eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined his daughter would have such a thought, and he immediately flew into a rage: "Nonsense! What future can a girl have if she doesn't get married? Aren't you bringing shame to the Su family?"

The father and daughter argued back and forth, neither willing to give in, their heated debate echoing in the room. Finally, Su Yue stormed out, tears streaming down her face.

After learning about this, Su Su secretly found her sister and whispered a suggestion in her ear: "Sister, let's leave home for a while. Once we've achieved something, Dad will understand us. Anyway, we have the dowry that Mom left us."

After thinking it over, Su Yue felt that her sister's words made sense.

So, without telling their father, the two sisters packed their bags, left a letter, and resolutely embarked on their journey.

Along the way, Su Su relied on her cleverness and indomitable spirit to protect her sister.

Su Yue fully utilized her intelligence and talent, worked her way up in the business world, and with her unique vision and decisive decisions, her business grew bigger and bigger, and she soon became a well-known wealthy woman.

Time flies. When the two sisters returned to their hometown and saw their father again, he was still the same as before. As soon as they met, he sighed and muttered, "Why aren't you two married yet? A woman should marry when she comes of age. What should we do?"

The two sisters exchanged a smile and tacitly chose to ignore it.

At first, Su's father would nag a few times, but as time went on, seeing that the two sisters were determined, he gradually stopped mentioning it and finally let it go.

I comforted myself, I deceived myself, that my daughter was still young, that I should take good care of her, and that she didn't need to get married so soon.
