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

Grandpa Su stood up, walked to Su Li's side, and his tone softened considerably.

"Li'er, look, we're all family. Can't we talk things over? Please forgive them this time for your grandfather's sake."

Su Qingfeng also advised from the side, "Girl, listen to your grandfather and stop making a fuss."

Su Li glanced at her grandfather, then at her father, remained silent for a moment, and slowly spoke:

"Fine, I'll let it go, but your second uncle's family must give me one hundred taels of silver. This silver is for two reasons: first, to compensate for the losses of our shop, and second, to teach certain people a lesson. Otherwise, this matter is not over!"

Grandpa Su sighed, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "Fine, fine, I'll do as you say."

Su Zhen stood by, trembling with anger, yet utterly helpless.

Su Li watched all this quietly, a barely perceptible cold smile playing on her lips.

In the end, Su Zhen reluctantly signed the IOU.

Su Li took the IOU and went to the government office with Granny Cai. Since Granny Cai had taken all the blame, she could just wait to be dealt with at the government office!

After the group left in a hurry, the atmosphere in the dimly lit main room of the Su family became even more oppressive.

Su Zhen huddled in the corner, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, staring intently at Old Master Su sitting at the head of the table.

Why should she pay out one hundred taels of silver?

"Grandpa, can't you talk to my second cousin and tell her not to report it to the authorities?"

Su Zhen finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke softly to Old Master Su, her voice trembling with resentment, "You always said you loved our second branch of the family, but now..."

Grandpa Su frowned, his face full of helplessness and difficulty. He opened his mouth, but did not know how to respond.

The hand under the sleeve trembled slightly, as if it was trying its best to suppress something.

"Hmph, what are you talking about? You've committed such a terrible crime, and you think you can get away with it?"

Zhou sneered from the side, her gloating undisguised. She crossed her arms, her sharp words like daggers.

"Our Su family can't afford to lose face like this! Don't you even know what kind of mess you've made? Now you want everyone to clean up your mess?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen glared fiercely at her aunt.

It's all because my eldest cousin is going to take the imperial examination that Grandpa is so afraid of trouble. If my eldest cousin passes the exam, what status will our second branch have in the Su family?

At this moment, Uncle Su coughed twice insincerely and slowly said, "You shouldn't say that. We're all family. Zhen'er has already realized her mistake, so why are you still holding onto it?"

But the expression on his face was not sincere at all, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Su Zhen bit her lower lip hard, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She lowered her head unwillingly, feeling both hatred for Su Li's relentless pressure and resentment towards her family's indifference.

The standoff ended with Su Zhen's family giving in, and she dragged her heavy steps back to her room behind her parents.

As soon as he entered the room, Uncle Su turned around abruptly and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, making the door frame shake a few times.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, veins bulging on his forehead, and glared angrily at Su Zhen.

"What's wrong with you, girl? How can you be so foolish! You didn't even discuss it with us!"

Su Zhen was startled by her father's anger. Her body trembled slightly, her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears, "I... I didn't want this to happen. Who knew she would find something to use against me..."

Ma rushed forward, shielding Su Zhen behind her, her face full of heartache. "Why are you taking your anger out on the child! Things have already come to this, is it all Zhen'er's fault?"

"I think it's because the old man is too biased towards the fourth son's family. And the eldest brother, lately, every little thing in the family has been caused by his son taking the imperial examination. If only we had one like that in our family..."

Ma paused halfway through her sentence, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

As she gently patted Su Zhen's back, she thought to herself, if she had a son, would the Su family dare to make them bear such a huge compensation so easily?

Sons are the guarantee of the family and the source of confidence to stand tall.

Isn't my sister-in-law so arrogant just because she has a son who is good at studying?

If she had a son, he would definitely be more successful than her son in the future, and they wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

Uncle Su frowned and paced back and forth, each step heavy as if he wanted to stomp a hole in the floor.

Suddenly, he stopped and slammed his fist on the table, causing the objects on it to rattle and crash loudly.

"One hundred taels of silver? Where are we going to get so much money? Isn't this driving us to our doom?"

Su Zhen lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her heart filled with grievance. "Father, Mother, I really know I was wrong..."

Ma gritted her teeth, a fierce glint in her eyes, "No, we can't just give this money away like this. We have to think of a way to get this IOU back."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Su irritably tugged at his collar, paced around the small room twice, then suddenly stopped and roared at Madam Ma:

"So what if you get the IOU back? Grandpa Su has already made the decision, and so many people in the village are watching. Do you think that just because you get the IOU back, we won't have to pay this money?"

Su Zhen stood in the middle of the room, her mind a jumbled mess.

Suddenly, the image of the man she had rescued flashed through her mind.

She remembered that even when the man was unconscious, his demeanor and bearing were far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Su Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, her heart pounded, and a bold idea began to sprout in her mind.

As long as he is revived, he will surely treat me well as his savior.

Given his status, let alone a hundred taels of silver, solving problems that others cannot solve would be a piece of cake for him!

Perhaps this is a stroke of luck bestowed upon me by heaven. If I can save him, I will surely rise to prominence and completely escape my current predicament and frustration.

Su Zhen became more and more excited as she thought about it, and her breathing became rapid.

The eyes that had been dimmed by despair now shone brightly again.

She instinctively clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

At this moment, waking the man up became her only obsession and the only way out of her predicament.

Su Zhen slowly turned around, looking at her parents whose faces were full of worry, her tone firm yet with a hint of reassurance.

"Father and Mother, I made a mistake. You don't need to worry about it anymore. I still have some things left. It shouldn't be a problem to exchange them for some silver."

As she spoke, she walked to the bedside, carefully picked up an old wooden box, opened it, and inside were her only few pieces of jewelry. Although they were not valuable, they were her last possessions.

She carefully wrapped the jewelry pieces one by one, preparing to take them to town to exchange them for money.

The moment Su Zhen stepped out of the room, she couldn't help but look back at the slightly dilapidated courtyard of the Su family. Her eyes no longer held the resentment and determination of before, but instead showed a hint of determination.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling her hair, and she slightly raised her chin.

Su Li, you members of the Su family, just you wait!

Once I get close to that important person, I will make you pay back a thousandfold for the humiliation you suffered today!
