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

Hu stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape, and remained stunned for a long while before she came to her senses.

She and her daughter have bought a shop at the town's dock!

Hu's eyes were slightly red. She raised her hand and gently touched Su Li's head, her voice trembling slightly.

"My daughter, how capable you are! I'm so proud of you, but I also feel sorry for you. It should be us, your parents, protecting you, but instead you're the one out there working hard..."

"Mother, what are you saying?"

Su Li gently held her mother's hand, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and softly comforted her:

“A family should support each other. I have watched you and Dad work hard for the family since I was a child. Now that my older brother and I have grown up, we naturally want to lead our family to a better life.”

"Don't feel bad about it. In the future, the shop will still need your help to manage the internal affairs and support me."

Mrs. Hu nodded emphatically, tears streaming down her face. Her daughter was so capable; she had endured so much hardship and suffering along the way…

Su Qingfeng, however, sat silently on the stool, unconsciously rubbing his knees with his hands, without saying a word the entire time.

After a long while, he raised his head, a hint of guilt on his face, and said in a low voice:

“Li’er, I know you are capable, but my leg… I fell before the autumn harvest and have been bedridden for more than three months. When the family is busy, I can’t help at all, and I even have to trouble your uncle to come back from town to help.”

"I feel guilty. Your grandparents are getting old, and now that their legs have healed, I want to stay home and help them out. If I go with you to take care of your own family, I can't get over that feeling!"

Su Qingfeng's eyes were dim, filled with helplessness and struggle.

He felt sorry for his child and guilty for not being able to help with chores because of his injury, but in the end, his filial piety prevailed over everything.

Su Li sat down next to her father, her expression calm, and gently advised him:

"Dad, don't think like that. If we run the shop well and earn more money, wouldn't that help the family? Besides, your leg has just healed, so it's not good for you to do heavy work. Going to the shop to help out is better than just sitting here doing nothing."

Su Qingfeng shook his head again, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes as he looked at Su Li: "Li'er, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really worried about the family."

Seeing that he was so determined, Su Li stopped trying to dissuade him.

However, the matter of having her mother help out at the shop still needs to be formalized.

Now that Dad's leg injury has healed and the autumn harvest is over, if we can divide the family property before the spring planting season, we won't have to report everything to the old man...

Su Li sighed, turned around and walked towards the main house. She needed to think about how to bring up the matter of buying the shop with the old man later.

In the main hall, Old Master Su was sitting on a bamboo chair warming himself by the fire. When he saw Su Li enter, his eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"Grandpa, I have something important to tell you."

Grandpa Su put down his teacup and nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

Su Li pulled up a stool and sat down, beginning to chat casually:

“These days, my elder brother and sister-in-law and I run a stall at the dock and have saved up some money, so we rented a shop at the dock.”

"Huh? Cough cough!"

Old Master Su abruptly stopped, choking on the tea in his mouth and coughing repeatedly. His eyes were filled with shock, and after a long while, he murmured:

"How did they manage to save up so much silver to buy a shop?"

Grandma Su was mending clothes in the inner room when she heard the conversation between the grandfather and grandson outside. She quickly dropped her needlework and came out, shouting:

"What? You bought a shop? When did money become so easy to earn? The second son's family just bought a house in town, and now you're saying you're buying a shop? Don't try to fool me, girl!"

Grandma Su stormed up to Su Li, squinting as she looked her up and down, determined to find something wrong with her.

Su Li opened her mouth, about to explain, but Old Madam Su, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glared at Su Li and scolded:

"Why didn't you tell me about something this big? Am I still in charge of this household? You keep all the money you earn to yourself, and we haven't even divided the family property yet. Are you all trying to rebel and take charge of the household yourselves?"

Her chest heaved violently, and her face was contorted with rage that seemed to burn anyone.

Su Li pursed her lips, trying her best to suppress the irritation in her heart, and spoke as calmly as possible.

“Grandma, that shop is out of the way, small, and dilapidated. All the few dozen taels of silver I’ve earned these past few days have gone into it. In the dead of winter, we have to push this cart, which weighs over a hundred pounds, out before dawn, braving the wind and snow, hoping to earn a little more money. A few days ago, it snowed heavily, making the roads difficult to travel, and every step was difficult…”

"What?"

Before Su Li could finish speaking, she was interrupted sharply by the old lady, whose brows furrowed and whose anger remained unchanged.

"Why did you buy such a piece of junk? It's a waste of money!"

Su Li's eyes turned cold, and her tone hardened:

“We figured small-scale operations wouldn’t amount to much, so if we’re going to do it, we should do it well. Asheng needs to go to school, and Dad’s leg injury cost a lot of money. There will be many expenses for the family in the future. We can’t just keep living day to day, can we?”

As she spoke, she looked up at Old Master Su, her eyes revealing a hint of grievance and resentment.

Grandpa Su's expression changed, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The incident of the fourth son's injury has been the subject of much gossip in the village, with many people saying that the Su family did not take good care of him.

Although the old man didn't say anything, this matter had always been a knot in his heart.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Li added, "Now that it's the off-season for farming, I'd like my parents to help out at the shop. Father's leg injury has just healed, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle walking for long periods. I'd like Mother to come with me, while Father stays home to recover and can also take care of the household."

Seeing that Grandma Su was about to scold again, Su Li quickly looked at her grandfather.

“Grandpa, the Su family hasn’t separated yet. We still contribute money to the family fund every month. But we don’t have much cash on hand because the shop is about to open. We also want to do our part for the family so that we can make our lives better.”

At this point, Su Li couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.

Yes, the Su family hasn't split up yet, so no matter what, Grandpa is still the one in charge of this family.

Paying money to the public is not a compromise, but a strategic retreat.

As long as the old man agrees to this, no matter what they do in the future, the old man and the old lady will have no reason to stop them. Their family's influence in the Su family will naturally be incomparable to what it was before.

Moreover, it would also keep her mother away from her grandmother, which was Su Li's biggest goal.

Grandpa Su's eyes were filled with shock, and a hint of barely perceptible emotion. He hadn't expected Su Li to take the initiative to submit the money.

It seems that no matter how immature the fourth brother's children are, they still ultimately care about their family.
