    Chapter 56: She Laughed Until She Cried

    Chen Nian Biluochun sobbed as she rushed out of the room and threw herself into Su Jianjun's arms, crying about her grievances.

    Su Jianjun, with a dark face, shouted at Su An, "Didn't you see your mother is hurt? And you still want her to serve you?"

    Su An pouted; this meant he was telling her to go cook.

    Hmm, Su Jianjun wasn’t like her, different kind, different heart, she wouldn’t listen no matter what he said.

    She turned and yelled into the house, "You freeloader, are you dead in there? We feed you, clothe you, and send you to school, and now you expect my old father to spoon-feed you until it’s chewed? What, do you want me, the guest, to serve you? Get out and start cooking right now!"

    "Useless thing, ungrateful brat, good for nothing but pretending to be dead. Why don’t you learn something useful instead of mimicking that woman who flits from man to man, learning all those flowery tricks. Aren’t you supposed to treat my father like your own? Is this how you show respect?"

    "With your attitude, every man in the world could be your father!"

    Su Jiao, humiliated and furious, clutched her stomach with one hand and covered her face with the other, wailing as she ran to the kitchen.

    Ji Qingqing gritted her teeth, "Jianjun, wail, wail, aren’t you going to do something? Wail, wail, I’ve been with you for so many years, given birth to your children, managed the household, and now I’m being scolded by a junior. Wail, wail, I can’t live like this anymore~"

    Bang~

    A gleaming kitchen knife landed in front of Ji Qingqing.

    Su An looked down on her, mimicking Ji Qingqing’s drawn-out whine, "Can’t live anymore, can’t live anymore, might as well die, I, Ji Qingqing, might as well die~"

    Her voice returned to normal, and Su An wore an expression of utter disdain, "Widow Ji, stop just talking. If you really mean it, take action! What’s the point of whining all the time? Look, the knife is right there. Need some help?"

    "Jianjun~ wuwu, look~"

    Su Jianjun's face turned ashen, and he kicked the knife beside him away, "Enough!"

    "You..."

    Before Su Jianjun could utter his rebuke, Su An shouted loudly, "Dad!"

    "How can you be so forgetful? Just now, Ji Qingqing hit you with a bowl on your head!"

    Ji Qingqing, who had been whimpering, froze.

    The words in Su Jianjun's mouth got stuck in his throat.

    "You need to be more careful. Don't end up being dismembered by Ji Qingqing without even knowing why. Don't forget, you're not the Su Jianjun who once owned thousands of properties. You don't have a daughter to sell anymore."

    "Now, you're just a poor man with a bad record at the canning factory!"

    Su Jianjun's face darkened, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. If you have nothing better to do, go to the kitchen and cook!"

    Su An thought for a moment, that's right, Su Jiao is in the kitchen.

    He turned and went into the kitchen.

    Soon, muffled sobs could be heard from inside the kitchen.

    Su Jianjun yelled from outside, "What are you doing now?"

    Su An answered loudly, "I came in to help Su Jiao cook, and she was so moved that she cried tears of joy."

    With her mouth agreeing to Su Jianjun's request, Su An's eyes were filled with excitement. The gleaming kitchen knife in her hand traced a path from Su Jiao's temple, down her cheek, and all the way to her neck.

    Causing Su Jiao to shudder involuntarily, “You... don't mess around~”

    “You dared to steal my spot, you dared to incite Widow Ji to hit us. You were the one who tore up my books, right? And those two pieces of lingerie~”

    When mentioning the lingerie, the killing intent in Su An's eyes intensified.

    A thirteen-year-old girl, with no bra to wear, hunching her back and not daring to lift her head.

    She asked her family for money but didn't get it and instead got scolded. After being pointed at by male classmates again, her brother fought with them and only then did she understand what was going on. Her brother stole 2.50 yuan from the family and bought three of the cheapest pieces of underwear from the night market for her.

    Because of those 2.50 yuan, her brother was kicked in the back by Su Jianjun, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for hours, even cutting his chin. And Qingqing let the whole compound know that the two siblings from the countryside, the Su family, had sticky fingers, stealing money and goods.

    In the end, the underwear that her brother had paid such a big price for was cut up by Su Jiao.

    Su Jiao, terrified, didn't dare to move. She clearly felt that Su An really wanted to kill her. Crazy, Su An was definitely crazy.

    The kitchen knife stopped at the major artery, and with a flick of the wrist.

    Su Jiao felt a chill on her neck, and her nerves snapped instantly. She slid down, and her pants suddenly felt warm as she wet herself in fear.

    Su An, looking at Su Jiao's dazed expression, slammed the knife onto the chopping board and turned to leave the kitchen. It wasn't time yet.

    Ji Qingqing, hearing Su Jiao's whimpering, walked over nervously. Was she moved to tears? Would she believe Su An's nonsense?

    As she reached the kitchen door, she saw Su An walking out.

    Ji Qingqing, with hostility on her face, said, “Su An, are you bullying Su Jiao again?”

    Su An snorted coldly, “Who's bullying her? Useless thing. I told her a joke, and she peed her pants!”

    “I'm telling you, Widow Ji, your daughter's kidneys aren't good. At such a young age, don't just focus on flirting with men. She's your daughter, take more care of her~, maybe give her some deer antler supplements to help her health.”

    Without giving Ji Qingqing a chance to speak, Su An continued, “Now that you've finished flirting, hurry up and finish making the food. Your daughter, just like you, is good for nothing except being flirtatious. She's slow at cooking and even peed herself when I told her a joke. It was disgusting~”

    Tuning out the angry curses behind her, Su An walked out of the Su family's house.

    She wanted to find Su Lei and continue to feed the kids some more violent and dark stories, but instead, she saw Liu Huilan in the distance.

    Su An smiled and immediately walked up to her, “Second Aunt~”

    Liu Huilan, turning around, saw Su An and her expression darkened. It was as if Su An knew what she was thinking.

    Su An calmly opened her mouth, “Second Aunt, don't think I'm in cahoots with that black-hearted stepmother. Last time, I deliberately handed you the knife. Otherwise, with such a big living room, why would I retreat to your side?”

    “Look at your expression, you're still wary of me? Speaking of which, you should thank me. Your son Su Bai can come back because I persuaded him!”

    Liu Huilan still had a stern face.

    Su An, as if talking to herself, “This black-hearted stepmother, I really don't understand her more and more. She insists that our family's money was taken by Su Bai and put into your and second uncle's pockets. Without evidence, she spreads rumors, making the whole compound say that Su Bai isn't a good kid now~”

    “Hmph, with her black-hearted behavior of climbing into bed, I even suspect she secretly hid the money, deliberately transferred assets, and stirred up trouble between my dad and second uncle...”

    “Oops, sorry, I didn’t mean it, Second Aunt. Please don’t take it seriously. Really!”
