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

Grandma Su sighed, her face contorted with worry, and said:

"Although the second son's actions were somewhat inappropriate, this is also an opportunity for our Su family! Perhaps it is a reward from heaven for our Su family's good deeds and accumulated virtues. Our Su family's fortune has arrived."

"Besides, no one else knew about this, so nothing bad happened. That's a good thing, so why are you blaming the children instead?"

As she spoke, Grandma Su gently patted Grandpa's back.

Although the second son's insistence on dividing the family property hurt her last time, he was someone she had loved and cherished since childhood, so how could she just abandon him?

Upon hearing the old lady's words, Su Erbo slightly raised his head, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head again, continuing to feign deep regret.

Su Zhen chimed in, sobbing, "Grandma's right, Grandpa. We'll be careful from now on and won't make the same mistake again."

She glanced at Granny Cai and her companion cowering in the corner behind her and was furious!

What went wrong?

Everything had been planned perfectly, so why did Granny Cai suddenly rush to their house in such a panic, causing things to take a sharp turn for the worse and making the whole family aware that they had bought a house in town?

Is someone sabotaging us behind the scenes?

Or is this old woman just being paranoid?

There's no truth to the rumors about the government inspecting houses; it's all just hearsay...

Su Zhen became increasingly agitated as she thought about it, but for now, she could only cooperate with her parents and grandmother to get through this hurdle first.

The atmosphere inside the room remained heavy, but it seemed to ease slightly after Old Mrs. Su's words. However, the old man's face was still so gloomy that it could drip water, and it was clear that the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated.

“Father, Mother, as you both know, Qingtian has always been a filial son…”

Madam Ma slightly raised her head, wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a wronged tone:

“I always thought that since my brother’s family was living comfortably in town, we couldn’t let our parents live in the countryside forever. We wanted to give you two a house in town so you could enjoy your retirement. Who knew that things would turn out like this before we even had a chance to tell you both!”

Ma had her own agenda.

She knew in her heart that now that this matter had been exposed, there was no way she could save the house before the family had been divided.

Rather than having it forcibly taken away and earning a bad reputation, it's better to take the initiative yourself. You can earn a good reputation for being filial, so it's not too much of a loss.

Moreover, the more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt. Her elder brother and sister-in-law lived a carefree life in town all year round, neither serving their parents-in-law nor helping the family. Why should they get all the good things?

This time, we have to drag them down with us!

So, Mrs. Ma changed the subject, and continued with a hint of grievance:

"However, this is also my fault for not thinking things through. We only thought about giving our parents a surprise, but we didn't expect it to almost cause a disaster."

"But since we've already bought the house, it's not good to return it and make people laugh. Once the house deed and land deed are issued, we'll immediately hand them over to you two for safekeeping. From now on, our family will have a place to stay in town."

"Besides, my elder brother and sister-in-law have lived in town for so long and have a wide network of connections. If they help us move there, life shouldn't be any harder than it is in the countryside."

After Ma finished speaking, she glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Uncle Su and Madam Zhou, who had been standing silently to the side.

The corners of her mouth, hidden beneath the handkerchief, turned up slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible smugness.

Grandma Su glanced at Madam Ma with displeasure. Although Madam Ma's words sounded quite agreeable, Grandma Su knew perfectly well what was going on.

If it weren't for that strange old woman who appeared out of nowhere, she would probably still be completely unaware that her second son's family had bought a house in town.

They even said they'd take them to town to enjoy a comfortable life and that they should be filial to them...

From the moment Madam Ma entered the door, she knew that this woman was a wicked wretch. Although the second son had been somewhat cunning before, he would never have acted so secretly behind the family's back. He must have been corrupted by this wicked woman, Madam Ma!

However, on the other hand, the second son's family had been giving her quite a few gifts these days, so out of consideration for those benefits, Old Mrs. Su decided to refrain from making a scene for the time being and just turn a blind eye.

"Yes, old man, there was a reason why the eldest son's family rented a house in town before. Firstly, it was for the convenience of Xiangming's schooling, and secondly, the eldest son worked at a rice shop in town, and it was really inconvenient for him to travel back and forth to the village every day."

Have you forgotten? You used to often say how wonderful it would be if our family had a house in town. Now that we actually have one, why are you blaming the child? This is clearly a good thing, what's there to be angry about!

If anything, it's the second son's fault for being so insensible and not discussing things properly with us. But since things have already come to this point, let's not make things difficult for them anymore. We can't let the whole village laugh at the Su family!

As she spoke, Grandma Su secretly observed Grandpa's expression.

Grandpa Su snorted coldly, not responding immediately, but slowing down the frequency of tapping his pipe on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

Everyone else in the room held their breath, quietly waiting for Old Master Su's final decision.

Throughout, Su Qingfeng simply stood aside with a gloomy look in his eyes. His lips were tightly pressed together, and his hands hung limply at his sides as he watched the farce unfolding inside the room, feeling helpless yet unable to utter a word.

He was timid by nature and always obeyed his parents. Even if he had some dissatisfaction in his heart, he would just swallow it silently and never show it.

But Su Li didn't intend to just stand by and watch.

She discreetly observed the expressions of everyone in the room, especially the extremely unpleasant looks on her uncle and aunt's faces.

Isn't my second aunt trying to drag my eldest uncle's family down with her?

Then she shouldn't think she can just let the matter of secretly buying a house go unpunished!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Su Li slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said softly:

“Yes, Grandpa, Xiangming is studying in town and has never had a stable place to live. That’s why Uncle has been working hard all these years renting that small courtyard in town, and most of his monthly wages have gone into it. Now that Uncle Su has bought this house by chance, it’s just the right thing to solve his immediate problem.”

"Not only can Grandpa and Grandma enjoy their retirement in town, but they can also save a lot of money on rent right now!"

"Uncle, you agree, right?"

Uncle Su's eyes lit up slightly when he heard Su Li's words.

Yes, how could he not have thought of this?

The Su family hasn't split up yet; this house, built by the second son, was practically tailor-made for them...

His eyes darted around a few times, he coughed lightly, and said with a forced smile:

"Oh my, Li'er is such a sensible and thoughtful child! Second brother really put his heart into buying this house. We're all family, so it's only right that we help each other out."

For Xiangming's education, his mother and I have been gritting our teeth and persevering, but it's still quite a struggle. The timing of our second son's house purchase was perfect; I was thinking, could we borrow it for a while, just as a temporary measure?

Besides, the second brother has always been generous; surely he can understand the difficulties we, as the older brother and sister-in-law, face?

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned once again.

Uncle Su turned to look at his elder brother in disbelief, never expecting that he would take advantage of the chaos.

It would be fine if the old man and woman moved in, but if the eldest brother's family took over the house, how could they possibly give it back...?
