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

The cacophony of voices grew increasingly louder.

During the off-season, there was nothing particularly interesting happening in the village. Villagers from outside flocked to the Su family's house like cats smelling fish. Some even climbed onto the Su family's courtyard wall, baring their teeth and peeking into the house to watch the excitement.

"Isn't the town currently investigating bandits?"

"I think the Su family might be secretly colluding with those bandits. Otherwise, how could the second son of the Su family have returned from town alive last time?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I think..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Old Master Su quickly stepped forward and made the decision:

"Hey, fellow villagers, please listen to me for a moment. Our Su family has been rooted in Linshui Village for hundreds of years. I'm sure you all know what kind of people the Su family are."

"There might be some misunderstanding here, which needs some time to sort out. It's getting late, so everyone should head back now."

“We’re all neighbors who know each other well. We can’t just make wild guesses based on this temporary misunderstanding and ruin our relationship, can we?”

Grandpa Su smiled ingratiatingly, his aged face full of sincerity and helplessness.

After much persuasion, the crowd's emotions were finally calmed down a bit.

Even though they were unwilling, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the old woman had any connection with the bandits. Even if there was a connection, it was not something they could interfere with. In the end, this was a family matter of the Su family.

The crowd grumbled, reluctantly leaving despite their dissatisfaction.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

The air in the room seemed to be sucked out instantly, the atmosphere became completely stagnant, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

Granny Cai hung her head and huddled in the corner.

The little grandson clung tightly to her side, his little hands gripping his grandmother's clothes tightly, his big eyes filled with fear as he timidly looked at the various people in the room with their different expressions.

After a long silence, Old Master Su sighed heavily, breaking the stillness. He looked intently at his second son, his deep voice carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Second brother, what exactly happened? At this point, don't keep it from us anymore."

Anyone with eyes could see that this old woman was very familiar with the second son's family.

Judging from Zhen's reaction, it's probably not the first time they've dealt with each other, yet this old man was kept completely in the dark.

Hmph, it seems the second brother's family has been doing quite a few big things behind my back.

Upon hearing this, Su Erbo's face turned pale and then red, and he stammered, trying to deny it: "Father, I...I don't know this old woman. She must have come to the wrong house and mistaken me for someone else, right?"

Grandpa Su glared at him fiercely, his gaze so intense it made Uncle Su shrink back, immediately shut his mouth, and silently lower his head, not daring to utter another word.

Grandpa Su was a man who upheld the principle of family unity, and no matter what decision he made, he always put the Su family first.

But the second son's family not only kept many things from him, but even now they dare to lie to him, clearly showing that they don't respect him as their father at all!

His blood rushed to his head, and Old Master Su's face turned bright red.

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and shouted sternly:

"You unfilial son! Tell me the truth, is it really as they say, that you are secretly colluding with bandits and plotting a rebellion?"

He slammed his pipe heavily on the table, making a dull "thump-thump" sound, as if each strike was hitting the hearts of everyone present.

"Did you actually buy a house in town?"

"Who is this old woman?"

"What shady things have you been doing outside? Huh? A real man should admit what he did, shouldn't he?"

Old Master Su frowned, his eyes full of scrutiny.

His gaze was fixed on his second son, as if trying to uncover all the secrets from his expression.

But at this moment, who in the room would dare to speak and invite trouble?

After a furious outburst, he slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his anger.

"Enough, enough, there's no point in saying anything more now. Second brother, just tell me the whole story. But you need to understand, this is a one-time exception!"

Grandpa Su slumped back into his chair, waving his hand helplessly, his voice tinged with weariness:

“We are a family. Everything must be done in the best interests of the Su family. We must not act on our own again. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences, and our Su family will become a laughing stock in the village. Do you understand?”

After saying that, he looked at his second son's family with a complicated expression, waiting for their answer.

The atmosphere inside the room remained tense and suffocating.

"Father, it is your unfilial son who knows his mistake!"

Uncle Su closed his eyes tightly, as if facing death. He knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face, and said:

“A few days ago, when I went up the mountain to chop firewood, my son accidentally fell into a cave. The cave was deep and dark. I groped around inside for a long time and found that the cave was like an abandoned bandit's den, with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the corners.”

My son, in a moment of greed, took some home and secretly sold it to buy that house. I was planning to tell you after things calmed down, but who knew this would happen today, causing you and Mother worry and anger. I know I was wrong!

As Su Erbo spoke, he kept kowtowing, his face full of regret and fear, but his eyes secretly glanced at the old man to observe his reaction.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Su's face instantly turned ashen, and he trembled with rage. He raised his pipe and pointed it at Su Erbo:

"You...you unfilial son! You dare to take such ill-gotten gains? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Uncle Su was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Father, I know I was wrong. I was really out of my mind at the time. I will never dare to do it again!"

At this moment, Su Zhen, who was standing to the side, also quickly knelt down, her eyes instantly reddening, tears streaming down her face, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Grandpa, please forgive my father this time. He only wanted our family to have a better life, and that's why he made a mistake!"

Su Zhen clung tightly to the hem of Grandpa Su's clothes, seemingly heartbroken, but secretly she breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly rejoiced that this was a story they had prepared long ago, just in case, and unexpectedly it came in handy today.

Fortunately, I considered this step back then, otherwise I would be helpless now.

Su Zhen was filled with anxiety, but on the surface, she continued to cry sorrowfully.

I just don't know if this lie can completely fool Grandpa...

The atmosphere inside the room was extremely tense. Old Master Su's eyes were wide open, and his chest was heaving violently. He was clearly very angry.

Grandma Cai held her grandson's hand and shrank back into the corner behind her, not daring to make a sound. The whole room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.

Grandpa Su looked at his second son's family kneeling before him with a look of utter disappointment. Just as he was about to continue scolding them, Grandma Su hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Oh, old man, calm down!"

"Are you really planning to beat the second son to death?"
