Chapter 66 Everything Matches Up

"Mrs. Director Huang, look at that lady, isn't she from the umbrella factory and chatted with us this morning?"

"Huh, really! Where are they going?"

"I don't know. Come on, let's go take a look."

The startled elderly woman came to her senses. "She kept asking about the Su family when we were chatting earlier. Could it be that they're heading to the Su family?"

"You know, the direction does lead to the Su family."

In Xiao Jiliang's mind, she kept replaying the events she had experienced recently. Her oldest grandson was beaten so badly he screamed, her precious son was hospitalized again, and then there was everything from the Zhao family—their main door, her cabinet...

And her head... Utter humiliation! She couldn't live with this disgrace! This was a mortal enemy!

By the time they reached the Su family's door, Xiao Jiliang's head was almost smoking from her imagination.

"Da Bin, kick it open for me!"

Following her mother-in-law's command, Wang Da Bin kicked the single wooden door of the Su family with a loud bang.

Last night, Su Jianjun and Ji Qingqing were frightened by Su An's eerie behavior, which scared them out of their wits.

The couple searched for enemies, calmed their spirits, and found everything suspicious. Su Jianjun even sat with a kitchen knife by the window for half the night, suspecting someone wanted to harm him. He was determined to find the ghost impersonator.

This disturbance kept Su Jiao and Su Lei awake until the second half of the night when the entire family, exhausted, finally fell asleep.

At this time, only Su Jiao had just woken up, while the other three were still asleep.

Wang Da Bin's kick immediately drew both Su Jianjun and Ji Qingqing out of their room.

Ji Qingqing, with her hair disheveled, had just come out of the room when Xiao Jiliang charged forward, grabbed her hair, and slapped her hard across the face without a word.

"I'll kill you, you wicked witch!"

After slapping Ji Qingqing to the ground, Xiao Jiliang, like a general leading thousands of troops, waved her hand behind her. "Break everything!"

Su Jianjun, wearing only his boxers, ran out and immediately woke up from his sleepy state.

He immediately remembered what Su An had said the day before.

This was too much; they really dared to show up.

He glared with wide eyes and shouted, "Who dares to move?!"

Ji Qingqing, lying on the ground, still had ringing in her ears and was completely numb, unable to understand what had happened.

Seeing this, Su Jiao let out a scream and threw herself in front of Ji Qingqing. "Mom, mom, are you okay?"

Tearful Ji Qingqing slowly regained focus.

Her tears slid down her cheeks, turning her pale face. "Waaaah~ Jianjun~"

She looked pitifully weak, like a rain-soaked flower.

The gathered neighbors started to chime in. "Where did you all come from? Can't we settle this peacefully?"

"Why are they hitting people the moment they step in? Is there no justice left?"

"Yeah, who do they think they are, barging into our yard like it’s empty?"

Xiao Yu instinctively turned to look at her husband, and sure enough, he was staring blankly at Ji Qingqing.

Furious, she erupted like a volcano, charging towards Ji Qingqing, "I’ll kill you, you damn fox!"

Su Jianjun quickly bent down to pick up the iron tongs at the foot of the table, aiming them at Xiao Yu's neck, "Move an inch and you're dead meat!"

Hearing the public opinion tilting in favor of the Su family, Xiao Jiliang sat down hard on the ground and began slapping his thigh, wailing.

"There’s no justice! The Su family is ruining lives! This poor old woman is being bullied to death!"

"I've long heard that stepmothers are cruel, but I've never seen anyone more vicious than her. What kind of Ji is she? You should be called Poison, your mom’s Toxic Waste, and your dad’s Deadly Nightshade!"

"Your family’s the worst bunch of scumbags on earth. Aren’t you afraid of heaven’s wrath for teaching your daughter like this? You shameless, immoral creatures, did our Zhao family dig up your ancestors' graves to deserve this kind of harm?"

The onlookers looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"What's going on? They know each other? And they’re bringing the daughter into this mess?"

"Su Jiao?"

"Can’t be, right? Wasn’t Su An away not long ago? This can’t be Su An’s in-laws, can it?"

"What's happening here? Did they bring people to attack their home?"

"Didn’t you hear? They’re calling her a cruel stepmom. They probably did something immoral again."

Ji Qingqing was furious, just out of bed and slapped for no reason, now being scolded to her face.

"You old hag, you came to my house early in the morning to throw a fit? Keep talking trash, and I’ll rip your mouth off!"

As the head of the household, Su Jianjun couldn’t back down, especially not with the whole cannery watching. If he did, they'd think he, Su Jianjun, was easy to bully!

Dropping the fire tongs, he bent down to pick up a long bench, "If you don’t clear this up now, don’t expect any family loyalty from me!"

Su Jiao was anxious beyond words. Please, don’t spill her secrets, or she’ll never live it down.

Seeing Su Jianjun acting so tough, Xiao Jiliang scrambled to her feet, jumping and shouting under his chin, "You’re talking about family ties with me? Do you even deserve to be called a human? What kind of parents are you to teach your daughter like this?"

"Your daughter beats children, beats her husband, beats her mother-in-law..."

Su Jianjun impatiently cut her off, "Enough, what else? That she stole from the Zhaos and gave it to us, over two grand?"

Ji Qingqing quickly added, "And that she walks all over you, right?"

Ji Qingqing and Su Jianjun’s faces darkened. It was exactly what that ungrateful Su An had said!

The Zhao family was looking for excuses to cause trouble. The Xiao family was shameless, willing to say anything just to get the bride price back.

Hearing Su Jianjun and his wife’s words, Xiao Jiliang was so angry her eyes nearly popped out.

It all matched. It all fucking matched.

"Damn it, it’s clear you were the ones who instigated this. Da Bin, Xiao Yu, brothers, let’s smash them to death, these despicable creatures."

Da Bao’s grandma, watching from outside, rolled her eyes and hurried to the next building.

She and Lin Zhaodi were thick as thieves, and at this moment, she absolutely couldn't stand by and watch Lin Zhaodi's son be bullied; she had to go and warn them.

She knocked on Su Jianguo's door, and right off the bat, Da Bao’s grandma wasted no time in hollering.

"Zhaodi, Zhaodi, Jianguo, quick, quick, quick, some folks are attacking Jianjun's place, there's a whole crowd there, hurry up and go down."

"The fight's already started, right down there on the first floor. It's swarming with people, Zhaodi. Jianguo and Jianjun are brothers through and through. This is the time for brothers to stand together."

Da Bao’s grandma rattled off her words in a hurry, looking anxious as if Jianjun was her own son.

Upon hearing this, Su Jianguo's face darkened immediately. "Stand together? I'll stand together with that good-for-nothing Su Jianjun?"

"He's got his conscience where the sun don't shine, and he actually really came!"

Liu Huilan and her husband exchanged a glance, both eyes filled with anger. Without hesitation, one snatched up a rolling pin while the other grabbed a brick from the windowsill, marching straight downstairs.

Da Bao’s grandma beamed with satisfaction. "It's brothers in arms and fathers and sons in the trenches. It has to be family!"

At that, Lin Zhaodi felt lightheaded and nearly fell over.

Da Bao’s grandma quickly stepped forward to support her. "Hey, hey, hey, Zhaodi, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, Jianguo has already gone down..."
