A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

"You don't even listen to the old man anymore? Do you think you're all grown up now and that you're in charge of this family?"

Zhou stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide with anger, her shrill voice seemingly piercing the small space:

“We elders are working ourselves to the bone, and you, on the other hand, are running off to slack off! Is this how your mother raised you? Tell me, where did you take this little brat off to run wild? He's only just come back now!”

Ma stood to the side, staring at Su Li with a gloomy expression. Usually, she was always good-tempered, but today she was unusually without a smile.

You know, the grievances my daughter suffered were all thanks to that little bitch from the fourth wife. After just a few days, that little bitch has even learned to stir up trouble. What a troublemaker!

Madam Ma curled her lips into a smile, stepped around behind Su Li, and her gaze fell on the baskets on their backs:

"Oh, this basket looks heavy. You're already home but you still can't bear to put it down. It looks like there are a lot of good things hidden inside. Li'er, you still have a lot of money left over from your father's medical treatment last time, right? This money isn't for you to squander. You're really becoming more and more irresponsible these days!"

"You went out without even telling your family. We waited for you to come back for dinner, and the food got cold. You can't just think of yourself..."

"Grandpa, you spoil these brats too much, that's why they're getting more and more outrageous!" Old Mrs. Su's anger was instantly ignited: "I want to see what secrets are hidden here!"

With a loud thud, the basket fell to the ground, and its contents scattered everywhere.

A few handfuls of wild grass, two sticks, and on top of that was an oil paper bag containing something unknown.

"Well, just as the second son's wife predicted, he went to town and squandered money!"

Grandma Su glared at Su Li fiercely, picked up the oil paper package on the ground, tore it open, and found that it contained the candy sold by the pastry shop, which didn't look cheap.

She slammed the oil paper bag onto the table in front of Old Master Su, then plopped back down in her chair, saying sarcastically:

"Old man, you saw it all. What do you say we should do? I can't handle it anymore! I'm old and useless!"

Su Li stood quietly in place, waiting for their scolding to subside slightly. Her gaze slowly swept over the crowd before she looked directly at her grandfather and asked, neither servile nor arrogant:

"Sir, I won't answer your questions for now. I'm just curious about today's harvest."

This unexpected question instantly silenced the noisy scene, and everyone was stunned.

"Stop rambling on and on, we're talking about your business!" Su Zhen said with a gloomy expression.

I realized I'd fallen for Su Li's trick today. She'd completely lost my mind with just a few words from her. Luckily, I hadn't revealed the secret of the space, or I would have been finished.

Su Li raised an eyebrow slightly, completely ignoring Su Zhen's words, and continued speaking on her own, her voice not loud but firm:

"Oh? It seems that today's harvest from this half-acre is even less than yesterday's. Yesterday, Grandma insisted that our family had stolen and hidden grain, but now the grain is even less than yesterday. Could it be that the grain has grown legs and run away?"

"Or is it that someone is really up to no good, secretly hiding grain and planning to sell it? This matter needs to be resolved. We can't let this remain unclear and let us bear the blame for stealing grain for no reason?"

These words immediately created an extremely awkward atmosphere in the room.

Su Li seemed oblivious to this, standing calmly in the hall, showing no sign of panic.

That's right, this matter isn't over for her yet, and she can't live her life in a daze like before.

Old Master Su frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look steadily at Su Li, and suddenly sighed:

"There hasn't been enough rain this year, so the harvest might be reduced. Didn't I say yesterday that Grandpa believes you haven't been hoarding any grain? We're all family, so why are you taking this so seriously? How can a family be so meticulous about how they manage to make a living?"

"Grandpa, actually, I went out on purpose today. You and Grandma wrongly accused us without even asking what happened, saying we stole grain. I'm still angry about it—"

Su Li had no intention of letting the matter rest. She pulled up a stool and calmly sat down, brushing off the grass blades clinging to the hem of her skirt. She looked directly at Old Master Su and slowly began to speak:

“My father is now seriously injured and bedridden, unable to do anything. My mother takes care of him day and night, and is exhausted. I know that my eldest and second uncles are dissatisfied with this, but did my father choose to be sick?”

Su Li's gaze fell subtly on her second uncle, "Second Uncle, you should know best how my father got injured. He didn't intentionally hurt himself to avoid work, did he?"

"Well, this..." Su Qingtian froze, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and he stammered for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

"I went to town for two reasons: first, to vent my anger at being wronged, and second, to ask at the clinic if there were any prescriptions that could help my father recover sooner. The herbs in this basket are the ones the doctor told us to dig up, which will save us a lot of money on medicine."

"As for these candies, they were bought to help Dad recover and also to mask the bitterness of his medicine. They weren't just wasted money. As for these two bones, I bought them for ten coins to make bone broth because I was thinking of how hard the elders work..."

“My father has always taught us to respect our elders. If you, Grandpa, still want to criticize us, then I have nothing more to say.”

Grandpa Su was speechless after Su Li’s reasoned and well-founded words. He opened his mouth but didn’t know how to refute her.

Seeing that Old Master Su remained silent, Zhou and Ma could only mutter quietly to themselves, not daring to reprimand him loudly any further.

However, the old lady Su, who had been holding her anger in, couldn't help but jump out and pointed at Su Li, scolding, "You sneaked out and you still have the nerve to talk back to your elders? You have no respect for your elders!"

Su Li smiled gently, stood up, walked to her grandmother, and spoke earnestly:

“Grandma, how dare I lecture you? I was just stating the facts. As your elder, you should set an example and distinguish right from wrong, instead of stirring up trouble and making a fool of yourself in front of outsiders. If you think my actions today were inappropriate, we can ask the village head to judge the matter. What do you say?”

Grandma Su was so angry at Su Li's words that she trembled all over, but she didn't know how to respond.

Grandpa Su sighed deeply and waved his hand dejectedly: "Alright, alright, let's drop this matter. Don't bring it up again, just be more careful in the future."

Su Li nodded slightly: "Grandpa is wise. I only hope that such a thing as wronging an innocent person will not happen again in the family in the future. My father's injury still needs everyone's joint care. Family harmony is the most important thing."

The storm was thus resolved.

Even though she was unwilling, Old Mrs. Su could only shut her mouth in resentment.

Night fell, and all was quiet.

The dim oil lamp swayed gently in the breeze, and the shadows on the wall swayed accordingly.

Inside the four rooms, Su Qingfeng leaned against the headboard, putting down the bowl of medicine in his hand, his brows furrowed:

"Li'er, you were far too reckless today! I told you this morning not to talk back to your elders, but why are you becoming even bolder?"

His voice carried a hint of reproach, yet it was also filled with helplessness and reluctance.
