Chapter 42 The Slap in the Face Came Just in Time
Su Qingfeng and Madam Hu were extremely worried when they heard these rumors.
Holding her daughter's hand, Mrs. Hu earnestly advised her:
“Li’er, the rumors in this village are too rampant. It’s not that I’m afraid of ruining your reputation, but I’m worried about what will happen if you, a girl, suffer any injustices when you go out. The docks are a mixed bag, so let’s not go there for now, okay…”
Although Su Qingfeng remained silent, his eyes were full of agreement with what Hu had said.
His leg injury has mostly healed, and he'll be able to go back to work soon. Let the men handle the money-making.
Su Li neither refused nor agreed immediately, but simply bit her lip and remained silent, her gaze deep, as if she were pondering something.
Outside, however, came the sound of family members talking.
Zhou leaned against the doorframe, facing the west room, and deliberately raised her voice:
"I knew it! A little girl running around outside all day, not caring about her reputation at all, and she even wants to go to the town's docks? That's just wishful thinking. Now look what's happened, people are gossiping about her, aren't they?"
Ma didn't understand the intricacies of the situation. Although she had recently quarreled with her sister-in-law, it didn't stop her from making sarcastic remarks with a smile:
"A young lady's most important task is to manage the household and uphold her chastity; that's what truly matters."
Grandma Su was already annoyed by the gossip about her family in the village, and her two daughters-in-law's chatter only fueled her anger.
But just as she was about to start cursing, the old man coughed lightly and gave her a cold look, and everyone shut up.
Old Master Su's face was gloomy, and his lips were tightly pursed, clearly indicating that he was angry.
Zhou reluctantly lifted the curtain and entered the room, but she was very dissatisfied.
What did she say wrong?
Things have come to this point, does the old man still intend to protect the fourth son's family...?
Su Li understood that these baseless rumors came on strong, and there must be someone in her family deliberately behind them.
My parents love me dearly, and even if they disagree with me, they will only try to persuade me with kind words.
The old man was conservative and cared most about the Su family's reputation. If he really didn't want to do business at the docks, he would only reprimand him in person, not use such despicable means that would cause the entire Su family to be talked about by the villagers.
As a result, suspicion fell on the families of the eldest and second uncles.
Since the last time my second uncle's family had a dispute over dividing the family property, they were probably severely reprimanded by Grandpa Su. They had swallowed their anger despite being humiliated by my eldest aunt.
On the other hand, Zhou Shi became very proud of her uncle's family, and she was arrogant and looked down on everyone.
It seems highly likely that this was Zhou's doing, and she probably still resents her for "talking too much" and causing the old lady to call her to work in the countryside.
Su Li took a deep breath, her eyebrows slightly raised.
She didn't regret her "talkativeness" that day; in fact, she could use this opportunity to make her uncle's family fully realize the truth.
Those four wives are not to be trifled with!
Zhou could take revenge on herself, but she shouldn't have targeted Tao Hua...
Su Xiangsheng was furious to see his sister suffer such injustice. When he learned that it was all his aunt's doing behind the scenes, his face turned as red as an eggplant.
"Sister, we can't just let Auntie bully us like this! We have to fight back! Sister, what should we do now? Just give me the order, and I'll do anything!"
Su Li nodded, a smile even appearing on her lips: "Let's go, let's go outside and find something useful."
"Sister, is that stick behind the gate thick enough?"
Before Su Li could even speak, Su Xiangsheng jumped up and ran into the yard, returning in the blink of an eye with a wooden stick over a meter long and as thick as a wrist.
"This stick is sure to hurt when you hit someone. Shall we go and settle the score with Auntie right now?"
Su Li was stunned. When she came to her senses, she sighed helplessly and put the stick back.
She patted her younger brother's head and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? I mean, let's go outside and dig up some medicinal herbs. Let's go, it's getting late."
Because she often dug for medicinal herbs before, Su Li gradually gained a certain understanding of the characteristics of various herbs.
The two wandered around the foot of the mountain for a while and quickly found what they were looking for.
That evening, while the Su family was having dinner in the main hall, Su Xiangsheng pretended to have a stomachache and slipped out by himself.
He secretly went around to the back of the east room, stepped on the stones and felt his way to the windowsill. After making sure no one was around, he covered his mouth and nose with his hand while carefully taking out two inconspicuous white mushrooms from his pocket.
He pointed the mushroom at the head of the bed in the main room, and gently shook it twice. A wisp of gray smoke drifted out from under the mushroom cap and quickly disappeared into the air.
He then quickly put the mushrooms into his pocket, tiptoed away, and ran straight to a secluded spot by the river where he carefully washed his hands.
My sister said that I have to wash my hands immediately after doing this, otherwise I'll suffer the consequences too.
Su Li was not idle either. After nightfall, she quietly slipped out of the yard, went to the well at Widow Li's house, and threw in a large clump of crushed vines.
Using the faint moonlight overhead to make sure it had completely sunk to the bottom of the well, Su Li turned and left with satisfaction.
Alright, everything is ready. Let's wait and see how things develop...
That night, Zhou went to bed early.
Having won two battles in a row, she was in a good mood and soon fell asleep.
But as I fell asleep, things started to go wrong.
Zhou found herself surrounded by a raging fire, the flames closing in and gradually engulfing her completely!
She screamed in terror and ran in all directions, but could not find an exit. At the same time, she felt as if she were being watched by countless eyes, which flickered with an eerie light in the flames and were accompanied by eerie laughter.
Terrified, she curled up into a ball, trembling, repeatedly muttering, "No, don't come any closer, don't hurt me..."
Su Qingyi, who was standing to the side, wasn't much better off. He was lying on the bed, but his arms were outstretched, and he was pounding on the bed board, making a thumping sound.
When Su Yao next door could no longer bear it, she got up and went over to check. She found that her parents had opened their bedroom door at some point. The two of them had dazed eyes, disheveled clothes, and messy hair, and were dancing around in the yard.
It also makes strange noises from time to time.
Terrified by the bizarre scene before her, Su Yao ran crying to the main room door and frantically pounded on it, crying, "Help! Something's happened to my dad! Help!"
In the still of the night, Su Yao's screams instantly woke up the entire village.
Many people quickly put on their clothes and went out to see what had happened. Soon, a large crowd gathered outside the Su family compound.
"Isn't that the eldest son of the Su family and his wife? Are they possessed?"
"I think it's possession! My god, this is terrifying! We need to think of something quick!"
"Come on, let's not just stand by and watch, let's go help and tie them up first!"
"I have some boy's urine here, everyone move aside, boy's urine is the best at warding off evil spirits—"
