Chapter 134 The gold bracelet belongs to his Zhao family.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense and ready to fight.
A group of Zhao family members stood menacingly in the middle, with Uncle Zhao, the leader, his face full of anger, pointing at Su Yao's nose and cursing:
"You Su family girl, the gold bracelet that our family lost is on your wrist! What do you have to say for yourself now!"
Su Yao looked completely innocent, spread her hands, and loudly retorted, "Uncle Zhao, don't make false accusations! These bracelets are mine, why are you saying they're the ones that went missing from your family?"
Zhou pulled her daughter behind her, put her hands on her hips, and said in a shrill voice, "That's right! Although our family isn't rich, we wouldn't stoop to stealing from your family. Don't wrongly accuse innocent people!"
Uncle Zhao stomped his feet in anger, while Aunt Zhao beside him, her eyes reddening, cried out, "These are ours! My daughter-in-law wore these on her wedding day, I remember it clearly!"
Su Yao curled her lip in disdain. "Auntie, you really need to work on your memory. I bought this myself. If you really like it and want it, fine, I'll give it to you!"
As she spoke, she ripped off the bracelet and threw it to the ground.
This behavior was so disgusting that several of the younger members of the Zhao family were about to rush up and teach Su Yao a lesson, but they were stopped by Zhao's aunt.
Aunt Zhao bent down to pick up the bracelet, examined it carefully, and her eyes lit up instantly. Holding the bracelet up, she shouted:
"Look everyone, this bracelet has my wife's name engraved on the inside! It's ours, so what else do you have to say?"
With such blatant evidence laid out before them, Su Yao's face turned deathly pale, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Damn it, how come she didn't notice that?
He intended to humiliate Granny Zhao, but unexpectedly, she caught him red-handed...
Seeing this, Zhou still tried to argue, stubbornly saying, "Maybe it's just a coincidence, it's possible we have the same name!"
Uncle Zhao was so angry that his face turned red. He rushed forward, as if to grab Zhou Shi, but was stopped by others: "You're still being stubborn! The Su family must give us an explanation today, or we'll take you to the authorities!"
They've truly seen something amazing today; they never imagined that the Su family members would be so hypocritical and shameless.
He wanted to see if these people would still dare to spout nonsense in front of the county magistrate.
"Hmph, going to see the officials?"
Su Yao snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and her eyes were full of contempt:
"Don't forget, my brother just passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. If you want to make a big fuss, wait until my brother passes the imperial examination and becomes a high-ranking official. Then you'll regret it!"
"I advise you to know when to stop and not to act rashly!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhao family members hesitated and exchanged glances.
He was clearly wary of Su Yao's words.
Since ancient times, the common people have never fought against officials. If Su Xiangming were to become an official in the future, then what happened today...
Seeing this, Zhou seized the opportunity to say, "Oh dear, perhaps we were too busy that day and accidentally took the wrong one. Our Su family isn't short of money. It's just a pair of gold bracelets, we'll compensate you double."
As she spoke, she took out several silver ingots from her sleeve and slapped them in front of Uncle Zhao.
The Zhao family members huddled together and whispered among themselves. They thought that the Su family now had a scholar whose future was uncertain, and if they really offended them, they would probably suffer the consequences.
Besides, the gold bracelet has been found, and we've received compensation from the Su family, which is enough.
After much deliberation, I ultimately chose to compromise.
After accepting the silver, the Zhao family left indignantly.
The farce finally came to an end.
After finally managing to settle things with the Zhao family, the Su family was able to temporarily return to peace.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su felt ashamed and didn't want to get involved in the matter anymore.
But Uncle Su insisted that he was just drunk that day and took the wrong thing, and that he did it on purpose.
As evening fell and the door was closed, Zhou and Uncle Su found the situation increasingly suspicious.
Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, her brows furrowed, her face full of doubt. "Husband, we haven't left the house since we came back from town. Only a few people in the family have seen the bracelet on Yao'er's wrist. How did the Zhao family suddenly find out about this?"
She irritably smoothed a stray hair behind her ear. "No, someone must be behind this. Someone must have tipped off the Zhao family!"
Uncle Su paced back and forth in the house, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
Hearing Zhou's words, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. "Hmph, I think there's a traitor in the family!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou jumped up from the bed, her eyes filled with anger. "A traitor? Who could it be?"
Her eyes darted back and forth, her mind racing through the faces of everyone in the house.
Suddenly, she clapped her hands and glared fiercely at the west room opposite.
"Could it be the fourth brother's family? Last time Xiangming wanted to go to the prefectural city for the imperial examination, they refused to pay for his travel expenses. They must have done this. I'll tear their house down!"
As he spoke, he tried to rush out the door.
Uncle Su reacted quickly and stopped the man, saying, "Don't rush!"
His face was grave, his brows furrowed, and he was deep in thought.
"It can't be the fourth brother. These days, the people in the fourth brother's house have been working in the fields, leaving early and returning late every day. They haven't had any chance to come into contact with Yao'er at all. Even when they eat at the dinner table, they only exchange a brief glance."
"Besides, the fourth branch of the family are all stupid and dull-witted people. How could they have so many tricks up their sleeves?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "So you mean... it was the second son's family who did it?"
Uncle Su remained silent, but the anger in his eyes clearly indicated that he was convinced that it was the second son who did it.
"I knew it! It must have been that barren hen who told the tale!"
Zhou was so angry that she trembled all over. "No wonder they've been so quiet lately. I thought they were worried about their daughter's health, so they've been staying at home all this time. Turns out they were secretly plotting to harm us!"
"With such a vicious mind, no wonder they're unlucky. No way, I'm going to settle accounts with them!"
At this moment, Su Yao, who had been sitting silently to the side, sniffed, wiped her swollen eyes with a handkerchief, and looked up with a wronged expression, saying:
“Mother, I’m going back to town tomorrow. After this incident, who knows what the villagers will say about us? I’ve lost all face. If Young Master Lu finds out, then my relationship with him will be completely over…”
Mrs. Zhou quickly turned around, walked to her daughter's side, gently stroked her hair, and tenderly comforted her:
“My dear daughter, I’ve wanted to take you back to town for a long time. Don’t worry, we’ve had enough of living in this old house. Tomorrow I’ll talk to your grandmother and tell her that your older brother is going back to the academy, and our whole family will have to go with him.”
"But before that, we can't let those two villains who sabotaged us behind our backs get away with it!"
