Chapter 102 - Dumped In A Water Vat
" Ah Bai , did you get the money ?" As soon as Su Bai entered his house , Grandma Su immediately asked him about money , usually she wasn't so stingy and greedy but the money at their house was getting less and less , their were five big spender and no one who earned . Su Wan was the one who was responsible for working in the fields but ever since she got married , no one in the house wanted to work in the fields ever since . Chu Yin was hard working when she was young but after marrying Su Bai she hardly ever went to the fields , she was used to dumping all the work on Su Wan even if she went to the fields .
Su Lan was even more pampered by her mother , she only knew how to move her hands and feet when she was eating or spending money to buy good dresses .
As for Su Cheng , he was studying to become a scholar and was the darling grandson and son of the family , no one asked him to do work in the fields .
Grandma Su was old and lazy too bones as well just like her son , she was pampered by her husband when she was young and only used to cook and clean when Grandpa Su was alive , after Su Wan was born all the job was dumped on her.? So , Grandma Su became even more lazy , she wouldn't even move to eat and would ask Su Wan to bring her food in her room .
Now that Su Wan wasn't here , they had to work on they own even the fields were waiting to be harvested . Everyday ' you go - I go ' happened in the Su family yet no one went to the fields , in the end they were thinking to hire some hired workers to harvest their fields . Grandma Su didn't want to take out her family 's savings so she too was looking forward to Su Bai bringing the money from Su Wan 's restaurant . She heard from the fellow villagers that the restaurant was earning well -
" what money ? Do you think that unfilial girl who dared to point knife at your neck would let me take the money ?"? Su Bai was already in a tetchy mood ever since he returned from Su Wan 's restaurant empty handed , and when Grandma Su mentioned the money he couldn't control himself anymore " that girl was ready to kill for money on her wedding day , will she let me get away with her restaurant's earnings ? The second I stepped inside? she asked the guards standing on her restaurant's entrance to throw me out !"
Su Wan wasn't even there when Su Bai came but still Su Bai was used to blaming Su Wan and the fact that he was actually thrown out of the restaurant because he snatched the money from Manager Wang and was thrown out on the order of a little servant boy , was just too much for him to let anyone know . So , he pushed the entire blame on Su Wan to show himself in a better light " I didn't even dare to make a sound unless she actually asked her guards to beat me , so I could only come back here "
" That shameless hussy !"When Grandma Su heard that Su Wan actually threw her precious son out of her restaurant , she was enraged , she as Su Bai 's mother never raised a finger to poke him yet she threw her own father out of the restaurant " I knew it , I knew she was unfilial , Instead of raising her till she was so big , I should have dumped her in a water vat when she was born? !"
Grandma Su forgot that if she really killed Su Wan than Shen Shui 's dowry that she had enjoyed for so many years would have been taken away by the Shen brothers already. And even if grandma Su didn't want to admit it , she was indeed scared of the Shen brothers especially the eldest Shen Shitou , who was a butcher in the town . Grandma Su had once visited his shop to ask for money when Su Wan was young but one look at Shen Shitou who was butchering a pig and his bloody figure , and Grandma Su went weak in her knees , never again did she visited Shen Shitou again .
" alright , alright - its fine if you want to scold that girl in front of me but don't do it in front of the villagers , if someone said anything to Her , I'm sure she will rush to her uncle and blabber all about it " Su Bai had not forgotten how , Su Wan reminded him that Shen Hai did not know about her collective marriage to the Lin brothers or the fact that he sold her for ten taels , if Shen Hai came to know about it , Su Bai was certain that Shen Hai might really come to settle the scores with him with his brothers . And Su Bai wanted to avoid it as long as possible , if possible until his son became an official .
Grandma Su heard the name of Shen Hai and all her steam blew out of her body just like that , the Shen brothers were as different as they could be , Shen Shitou was cruel looking and a potty mouth , Shen Lin was calculating and shrewd while Shen Hai was a smiling fox - she shuddered to deal with them . They have never visited the Su house because they thought that Su family as below them , so they had no idea what happened with Shen Shui And Su Wan , and Grandma Su had checked all the letters that Shen Shui sent before she died , she knew that nothing unmentionable was written in the letters but if Su Wan actually went ahead and tattled on to her uncle than it will be different .
" So now what ? " said Grandma Su her leathery face scrunched up " are we going to sit here while she enjoys her life in silver taels ?" Grandma Su hated the fact that Su Wan 's restaurant was selling things so well , at first she thought it was a rumour but when she poked around a bit , she found out that the dock workers were indeed all praises about her restaurant .
" or else what can we do ? That restaurant is under that Lin Yan and you how difficult it is to deal with him - he was the one who suggested signing the document of having no relationship with each other . With that renouncement letter , who will they be scared off ?" Su Bai could only helplessly grit his teeth , he too heard the rumours but he didn't want to believe them , he thought no matter how good Su Wan or her husbands were they couldn't revive that dead restaurant with its downtrodden popularity but he was totally wrong ! There was such a long queue in front of the restaurant - he was sure that even if worst come to worst the restaurant's earnings must be at least two taels a day ! Which was equivalent to sixty taels a month !
