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

Zhou, standing to the side, forced a smile and chimed in:

"Second brother, you know your eldest brother has it tough in town. This is the only way we can manage. We're lending you this house to live in for now; it's making the best use of it. We'll always remember your kindness. If you ever need any help, just let us know!"

As she spoke, her eyes flickered.

Zhou coughed lightly, lowered her head slightly to straighten the hem of her clothes, and secretly gave Uncle Su a wink, signaling him to make sure he got the house.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Uncle Su's chest heaved violently, the veins on his neck bulged, and his eyes were wide open like copper bells as he stared intently at Uncle Su and Zhou, his gaze seeming as if he wanted to devour them.

How dare they...

How dare you say such a thing with such confidence?

Ma opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to immediately burst into a tirade, but she had to suppress her anger, her lips biting so hard that a deep tooth mark appeared.

Their eyes met, and they both saw deep helplessness and anger in each other's eyes.

They all looked at Old Master Su, who was seated at the head of the table, hoping that he would not nod in agreement.

But Grandpa Su just sat there quietly, his expression inscrutable, making it impossible for anyone to fathom his inner thoughts.

Uncle Su's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He tried to speak several times, but swallowed his words back.

If he rashly spoke up to refute his elder brother and sister-in-law at this moment, and the old man thought that he disregarded brotherly affection and argued with his elder brother's family over the house, then all his previous efforts would be in vain.

You should know that the source of this money hasn't been concealed yet!

Moreover, although the house was nominally bought by him, the old man's attitude was crucial in the case of the family not having separated.

Sigh, I shouldn't have bought a house in town. Now I've gotten myself into all this trouble, and I'm really stuck...

Ms. Ma understood her husband's concerns. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Everything that needed to be said has been said. How this farce will ultimately end depends on the old man's attitude.

However, from the moment she opened her eyes, Su Zhen's gaze was fixed on Su Li, her eyes filled with a layer of frost, dark and terrifying.

At that moment, she had no time to consider the issue of ownership of the house.

As perceptive as she was, she had already sensed something was amiss from Su Li's words and attitude.

Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

She turned around abruptly, her gaze sweeping across the trembling Granny Cai behind her like a sharp sword, trying to discover the connection between Su Li and Granny Cai.

Seeing Granny Cai's timid appearance, Su Zhen's frustration grew like wildfire.

"That useless old woman!" Su Zhen cursed inwardly. "She actually dared to come to my house and expose this. It seems she doesn't want to get any money from me anymore."

Granny Cai noticed Su Zhen's sinister gaze, and trembled with fright. Her eyes darted around nervously, and she quickly buried her head.

She understood clearly what she heard and saw; she realized she had made a huge mistake this time.

Su Zhen's family was clearly keeping the matter of the house a secret from others.

Now that things have been exposed, Su Zhen will probably never ask him to help with chores again, and he will lose this source of income. How will he live from now on?

Grandma Cai hugged her grandson tightly, barely daring to breathe, hoping the storm would pass quickly so she could have some room to maneuver...

Unbeknownst to anyone, the undercurrents swirling around Su Zhen were still unresolved, as the others inside the house remained deadlocked over the house.

Grandpa Su sat upright in the seat of honor, his back straight but unable to hide his exhaustion. His gaze slowly swept over everyone in the room.

He raised his hand and wearily rubbed his temples, then closed his eyes tightly.

After a moment, he finally opened his eyes slowly, his gaze sharp and authoritative, scrutinizing the Su family still kneeling below the hall, and asked:

"You said you accidentally discovered those valuables in a cave, so you used all that money to buy a house?"

Uncle Su nodded subconsciously.

But under the old man's sharp, hawk-like gaze, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and hurriedly shook his head, stammering:

"There...there are still some left, son, bring them all over right away!"

Uncle Su felt as if his heart was bleeding.

I was happily planning to use the remaining money to buy myself a few fine snuff bottles.

Well, that's great, they've looted everything!

Grandpa Su nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the eldest son's family standing to the side:

"Now that the second son already has a house, eldest son, why don't you cancel the lease on the courtyard house you're renting in town? It doesn't matter where the family lives, it's always more comfortable to live in your own home."

After speaking, the old man looked at Su Erbo again:

"Our Su family hasn't divided yet, so this house naturally belongs to the Su family. I'll let your eldest brother's family move in, and let your nephew move in too. Do you have anything to say?"

Uncle Su's heart tightened suddenly, and his face turned pale and then red.

He gritted his teeth, forced out a smile that looked worse than a grimace, and said against his will, "Son...son has no objection!"

The house I'd been painstakingly planning for months is gone just like that...

Grandpa Su nodded, a hint of satisfaction finally appearing in his eyes.

Very good. It seems the second son isn't completely wicked. Even if he had concealed something before, they are still family after all.

Standing to the side, Zhou couldn't hide her smugness; her mouth was practically stretched to her ears.

Oh dear, the second son's family has come up empty-handed this time. This brand-new house is just right for the future mother of a scholar.

And it doesn't cost a single penny!

However, as if he could read her mind, Old Master Su gave her a cold glance and then said:

"With the end of the year fast approaching, and the eldest son having been back for so long, the autumn harvest has already taken up quite a bit of time. He should hurry back to the rice shop to continue helping out. As for the eldest son's wife and Yao'er..."

"Yao'er will be getting married next year. As Yao'er's mother, you should help her prepare her dowry. Just stay at home so you don't have to travel back and forth so much."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's smile froze instantly, and her face fell like a wilted eggplant.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but under the old man's stern gaze, she dared not utter a single word.

She had thought that after dividing the money tonight, she could return to town and continue her carefree and leisurely life. Who would have thought that she would be left in this village? Where could she go to seek justice?

Do I have to keep feeding the chickens and ducks, and suffer under that damned old hag?

Seeing Zhou's dejected and disheveled appearance, Su Erbo and Ma felt a little better.

You were so smug, but you didn't get away with it, did you?

"Let's leave the matter of the house as it is for now. As for other matters, leave them to your mother to decide!"

Grandpa Su sighed deeply, got up and walked into the inner room.
