Chapter 88: Come and Cause Trouble at Our Place

This time, Su's Father and Mother Su were completely enraged!

Su's Father was so angry that his hands were shaking: "You, you!"

Mother Su was even more furious, her whole body trembling as she raised her hand to strike Su Rouer.

Wei Pozi’s face darkened as she stepped forward: "In-law, this is still in the Yu family home. It’s not appropriate for you to hit our daughter-in-law right here."

Mother Su shouted angrily: "She’s my daughter, I’ll hit her if I want to!"

Su Rouer cried and trembled but still defiantly said: "Only now do you remember I’m your daughter! When you asked my in-laws for money, why didn’t you remember I was your daughter? I also have my dignity in my in-laws’ house!"

Su's Father was so enraged he grabbed a bowl from the table, filled with water, and smashed it on the ground!

Wei Pozi’s brow twitched fiercely!

These Su people really thought they could treat the Yu family like dough to knead?!

The main room was in chaos, while the two sisters-in-law in the adjacent room were anxiously listening for any movement.

Just then, there was a knock at the gate outside.

Li Chunhua almost jumped up!

She rushed out to open the door and, upon seeing the visitor, widened her eyes: "It’s you?"

...

At this moment, in the main room, Su's Father and Mother Su were nearly at odds with Wei Pozi and Old Man Yu.

Old Man Yu and Wei Pozi did not expect Su's Father and Mother Su to go this far.

Earlier, Wei Pozi had been considerate of Su Rouer’s face and refrained from saying too harsh words to Su's Father and Mother Su; but now that Su's Father was smashing bowls and going berserk in their home, she wasn’t going to tolerate it anymore.

What, just because of the marital connection, they think they can ride roughshod over the Yu family?!

Wei Pozi sneered and gave an unapologetic suggestion: "If I were you, I’d pack up and leave right now to hide. As for Su Chengzong—just leave that wastrel to the gambling den and let them teach him a lesson!"

Su's Father and Mother Su were enraged: "You’re trying to get our Chengzong killed!"

Wei Pozi laughed derisively: "Or your whole family can go die with him!"

"You wicked woman!" Mother Su, losing all reason, lashed out at Wei Pozi, "I suspect our Chengzong might have been set up by you!"

"What setup?"

A voice came from outside the house, and a thin figure strode in.

Behind him was the hesitant Li Chunhua.

"Mom, Cousin Feng is here—"

Even though Wei Feng had already entered the house, Li Chunhua hurriedly called out.

Su's Father and Mother Su’s eyes nearly popped out when they heard it was Wei Feng!

"A-Feng, why are you here?" Wei Pozi felt conflicted seeing Wei Feng.

Wei Feng smiled: "Second Aunt, I thought Third Sister-in-Law’s family might come here, so I came to check."

He greeted Old Man Yu and Su Rouer with a bow: "Second Uncle, Third Sister-in-Law."

Then he glanced at the only two strangers in the room: "You must be Su Chengzong’s parents, right?"

"It was you, you, who injured our Chengzong?!"

Su's Father felt intimidated inside but tried not to show it, asking in a bold yet fearful tone.

Mother Su also hid behind Su's Father and threatened Wei Feng: "We haven’t settled with you yet!"

Wei Feng smiled, completely unfazed by their bluster: "How amusing. Su Chengzong owes money to our place. Coming here to cause trouble at Second Aunt’s home—what kind of skill is that? If you have the guts, come and cause trouble at our place."

He showed them his slightly crooked teeth and grinned sinisterly: "Let’s see if you make it back alive."

Su's Father and Mother Su turned pale, their legs weakening. If they hadn’t been supporting each other, they would have collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention," Wei Feng smiled, "out of respect for my aunt, I gave you two more days. Including yesterday, today... which means tomorrow, if you don’t come up with the silver, we’ll have no choice but to send Su Chengzong to Coal Mountain to work off his debt. Oh, and if you try to get silver from my aunt, I’ll bring people over tonight."

Wei Feng’s few words scared Su's Father and Mother Su into a pale-faced retreat.

Su Rouer, red-eyed, chased after them, seemingly to give some instructions.

Li Chunhua watched the excitement from the side, and now, excited, went back to tell Bai Xiaofeng about it.

The main room was left with only Old Man Yu, Wei Pozi, and Wei Feng.

Old Man Yu and Wei Pozi didn’t bother to see Su's Father and Mother Su off after the fight.

Wei Pozi hesitated: "A-Feng... how did you end up doing this kind of business?"

Wei Feng shrugged nonchalantly: "In this world, you do what earns money...” He smiled, “Second Aunt, don’t worry, I know the risks!"

He didn’t want to stay longer, "Alright, Second Aunt, I just wanted to make sure the Su family wouldn’t trouble you. Now that I’ve driven them away, I’ll be leaving."

Wei Feng arrived in a hurry, didn’t even drink a sip of water, and left just as quickly.

"This child..." Wei Pozi worried deeply.

Despite the favoritism of Su's Father and Mother Su, it had driven Su Rouer towards her in-laws. But Su Rouer was still a member of the Su family, and as the deadline set by the gambling den approached, she became extremely anxious, unable to sit still or find peace.

There was no way to gather the silver needed. Could they really watch Su Chengzong die?

Su Rouer wept endlessly, not closing her eyes for an entire day.

However, in the evening, Wei Feng sent word from the county town.

He said that the Su family had come up with twenty taels of silver to pay off part of the debt, so Su Chengzong did not have to go to the coal mines to work off the debt.

Upon hearing this news, Su Rouer was stunned for a while.

Twenty taels of silver?

This was the same family that always cried poor to her, saying they had no money and could barely make ends meet?

She sat there, crying and laughing for a long time.

No wonder her parents looked down on the few coins and bits of silver in her in-laws' money box!

She herself had no idea that her family actually had twenty taels of silver!

Su Rouer was thoroughly heartbroken by the Su family.

The matter with Su Chengzong was thus temporarily settled.

But Wei Pozi was still worried about Wei Feng working as a bouncer at the gambling den, feeling it wasn't a proper job.

She chose a day when things were not too busy at home and took Xingxing to visit her family, the Wei family.

The Wei family was not close to Nantuo Village, and the road was not easy to travel. Wei Pozi felt sorry for Xingxing, so she hired Old Xu to drive them to Jiangdian Village, where the Wei family lived.

Jiangdian Village was located beside the main channel of River Mao, mostly surrounded by riverbeds formed by water erosion, with very little arable land. Many people in Jiangdian Village made their living by fishing.

In recent years, due to consecutive famines, many tributaries of River Mao had dried up, making it difficult to catch fish. Many people from Jiangdian Village had gone to the state capital to work.

Wei Pozi's parents were no longer alive, and now the head of the Wei family was her Fourth Brother, known as Wei Laosi.
