Presumably, it was because of this that Su Xuefang dared to take advantage of her family unscrupulously.
Why couldn’t she take advantage of Zhang Chunxiang and Chen Guihua instead?
Su Xuefang was very dissatisfied that nothing caught her eye. She calculated the value of the chicken coop, estimating whether it was worth her while. No chickens were in sight; they must have gone out looking for food.
She could nab two of them once they returned. She would not mind helping herself to some leeks, eggplants, long beans, and more from her niece’s vegetable garden. That would last her a few days…
Having reached this conclusion, she decided that her trip had not been in vain.
“Little Wen, I’m talking to you!” Su Xuefang turned around and looked at Su Wen, Su Xiu, and the other Su sisters, who came out with Su Qing. The sight of her nieces deeply shocked her.
She had not seen them in a few months, and suddenly, they were all bright-eyed and rosy-cheeked, having eaten their fill.
Considering their fair appearance, they could not have been working in the fields.
Su Wen must have made a pot of money selling those steamed cakes. How dare she play her for a fool! Su Xuefang ground her teeth, vowing to teach her niece a lesson in manners; probably taking however much she had already earned as payment.
“Aunt, what are you doing here? Are Grandpa and Grandma visiting their relatives and have yet to return? If you’re here, you have nothing to eat at home. Am I right?”
Su Wen’s frosty demeanor clashed with Su Xuefang’s haughty superiority.
Immediately, Su Xuefang’s expression turned ugly. “Why isn’t there anything to eat? Is this how you treat a guest, let alone family who has taken time to visit you?”
“My parents are dead. As our aunt, shouldn’t you have some modicum of self-respect not to take advantage of us? Why don’t you try mooching off Second Uncle or Third Uncle instead?” Su Wen blithely replied, sarcasm dripping from her words.
“My father is your elder brother,” Su Wen continued. “He died young and could not take care of you. But Second Uncle and Third Uncle are still alive! If you’re having trouble, you should look to them instead. They are your brothers, after all. We’re just your nieces.”
“That’s right, Aunt!” Su Qing added, “Second and Third Uncle would gladly help you if you but asked.”
“You, you… What nonsense are you talking about?” Su Xuefang almost thought that she had heard wrongly. She stared at Su Wen in shock and could not believe what Su Wen had said to her. In the past, Su Wen would always treat her to good food and drinks.
Every time she dropped by, Su Wen even killed a chicken just for her!
Today… What was going on?
“Did I say something wrong? Aunt?” Su Wen slowly said, “I’m doing this for your sake. It won’t be nice if it gets out! Think about it, your brother is dead, and you’re still taking advantage of your niece. Is this what humans do?”
“Nonsense!” Su Xuefang was wrenched from her stupor. “I’m your aunt. All I’m doing by visiting is to ensure you are alright. How could I be taking advantage of your family?” As she spoke, she could not help but notice Sixth Sister standing behind Su Wen in a new set of clothes. Su Xuefang jabbed her finger at Sixth Sister and said, “If I never thought about you, would I have taken Sixth Sister under my wing, providing her with room and board?”
Su Wen was left speechless. Su Qing and Su Xiu were not as polite and nearly gave their aunt a piece of their minds, but Su Wen stopped them, discreetly pulling them back.
Su Xuefang was still their aunt, regardless of how unsavory she might be. Her situation differed from Grandma Gou Dan’s or Sun Dahai’s. So long as she played the elder card, they would forever be on the back foot in dealings with her.
This was Su Xuefang’s modus operandi, which had been that way since before she took over the body’s original owner. It was one of Su Xuefang’s most dastardly tricks..
