      Chapter 166 Undead

      Xiao Su's house.

      Su Yuan left in a carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao went to sharpen the knife in the small forest behind the stove.

      The setting sun slanted on the top of her head through the bamboo leaves.

      When Su Yuniang walked over with her daughter who was more than a month old, what she saw was this little back who was sharpening her knife.

      This girl really lost a lot of weight.

      Su Yuniang sighed, and moved a small bench to sit next to Su Xiaoxiao.

       "Are you a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse?"

      Su Xiaoxiao: "What?"

      Su Yuniang: "The medicine for that master, you say you are so courageous, why are you so bold? You are not afraid of eating people out of good or bad-"

      Su Xiaoxiao continued to sharpen the knife: "Isn't it all right!"

      The little guy in her arms hummed, Su Yuniang picked her up, patted her back lightly, and helped her burp her milk.

      Su Yuniang said: "I will go to the yamen tomorrow and move out my household registration."

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "How much did you give to the old Su family?"

       The old Su family will never let Su Yuniang go without giving some benefits.

      Su Yuniang kissed her daughter's small forehead: "Two hundred taels."

      Boom!

      Su Xiaoxiao chopped it on the chopping board!

      Su Yuniang said lightly: "Don't worry, I will let them spit it out."

      ...

      In the alley between Liu Shan's house and Xiao Su's house, Su Jinniang's face turned pale, and she clenched her fingers a little bit.

       It wasn't until Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yuniang entered the stove house and closed the back door that she quickly ran back to her home.

    "grandfather!"

      Master Su is reconciling accounts with Su Can in the main room. Su Can is always right and wrong, not as good as Su Erlang.

      Grandpa Su glanced at the flustered Su Jinniang, and asked, "Where have you been? Who told you to run out all day? You're about to get married, so don't go out in the future!"

    Su Jinniang lowered her eyes: "I...just went to see my sister, and heard her tell Su Fatty...that I want our money back."

      Su Can stood up abruptly: "What?"

    Su Jinniang whispered: "Sister said, our family is not benevolent, so don't blame her for being unjust. When she goes to the county government to change her household registration tomorrow, she will tell the story of Yupei and let the villagers know... back then...you and Mrs.What grandpa sold... was the jade pendant that was snatched from the Su family when he was young, and the jade pendant on Su Fatty's body proves that it was a pair."

      Su Can said angrily: "When did we rob their family's jade pendant? It was passed down from our old Su family's ancestors! Shameless little hoof! See how I deal with her!"

    He rolled up his sleeves, turned around and walked out, but was surprised to find that no one followed.

      The whole main room was silent, except for him, Mr. Su, Su Erlang and Su Jinniang were silent.

      Master Su knew the truth of the matter, while Su Erlang and Su Jinniang guessed the truth back then.

      Su Jinniang looked at Mr. Su's reaction, and knew that her guess was right.

    How could this be?

       She is better than Su Fatty in everything, but since when did Su Fatty ride on her head again and again, and now even the jade pendant is hers!

       It's not fair!

       "Father?" Su Can looked at Old Man Su in a daze, "Shouldn't..."

    "What happened?"

      Su Dalang came back from carrying water outside, seeing that the atmosphere in the house was not right, he hurriedly put down the bucket.

      Master Su said: "Jinniang, you go back to the house first."

      The men of the old Su family always talk about things without allowing women to be present.

       "Yes, Grandpa." Su Jinniang went back to her room sullenly.

      She went in, but her ear was pressed against the door to eavesdrop.

      Su Can swallowed her saliva, and asked Mr. Su: "Father, what Jinniang said is—"

      Su Erlang frowned and said: "Father, now is not the time to worry about this. The most urgent thing is not to let them go to the village to bite us! Grandpa, we can't sit still!"

      Su Can shut up.

       There was a storm in his heart. Who would have expected that the jade pendant of their family belonged to Su Cheng. Doesn't that mean that the favors owed by the villagers also belonged to Su Cheng?

      Old Master Su looked at Su Erlang: "What can you do?"

      Su Erlang clenched his fist: "The first strike is the best!"

      Su Can disagrees: "This method... I have used it once..."

       also failed.

    Su Erlang said: "The reason why we failed last time is that we didn't know that the burden had been discovered by Su Daya, and Yu Niang had also appeared. This time, the jade pendant is in Su Daya's hands, let's see how they wash it offSuspect!"

      Su Can is timid: "How about we wait?"

    Su Erlang said seriously, "What are you waiting for? When the eldest sister moves her household registration, she will no longer have the slightest scruples about our old Su family? Now that her household registration is still in our hands, she is somewhat afraid, and dare not make too much trouble with us."Excessive. Right now is the most suitable time, after tomorrow, it will be too late!"

      Although this is not the best way, it is the only thing they can do right now. Otherwise, with Su Yuniang's temperament, it is really possible to expose the scandal of the old Su family!

      Master Su closed his eyes: "Just listen to Erlang."

       A quarter of an hour later, Su Can brought her two sons to Xiao Su's house.

      They behaved well this time, and did not incite the folks to come and watch the fun.

       "Su Yuniang, come out for me!"

    Su Can jumped into the main room and said aggressively.

      Su Yuniang just put her daughter to sleep, when she heard Su Can's voice, she walked out with a cold face.

       "What are you doing here?"

      Su Can yelled angrily: "You still have the face to say it! Hand over the jade pendant!"

      Su Yuniang frowned: "What jade pendant?"

      Su Can said: "Our family's ancestral jade pendant! You just went home and entered your grandfather's house! After you left, the jade pendant in your grandfather's cabinet disappeared! Tell me quickly! Did you take it!"

      Su Yuniang said hehe: "Didn't the ancestral jade pendant of the old Su family be sold long ago?"

      She was talking about the old Su’s family, not ours.

      It's a pity that Su Can was in the middle of a show and didn't notice the details of her address.

      Su Can put his hands on his hips and said, "Huh! That's a pair! Sell one, and there's another!"

      Su Yuniang said coldly: "You guys are really good at beating back! The jade pendant obviously belongs to Xiao Su's family! You stole his jade pendant! If you gnaw on someone's blood steamed bun, in the end, you will bite him back!"

    Su Can said: "We didn't say that it was Xiao Su's family who did it! Could it be...you mean...you were instructed by Xiao Su's family? Yu Niang, I understand that you want to establish your own family, and your grandfather and I also carefullyAfter discussion, you are allowed to remove your household registration, but don't be ignorant of the good and the bad."

       This is blatantly threatening Su Yuniang.

      Su Xiaoxiao walked over casually, and looked at Su Can and others irritably: "Again? Do you really deserve a beating?"

      In the past, Su Can was afraid.

       But Yupei's matter is serious, he would rather be beaten than back down!

      Su Can sternly said: "Yu Niang, hand over the jade pendant! I will pretend that this incident never happened, and I will go to the county government tomorrow to change your household registration!"

       Slap and give a sweet date.

      Su Can doesn't have such a brain.

      Su Xiaoxiao turned his attention to Su Erlang who was at the side.

      The entire old Su family, except for Mr. Su and Su Yuniang, that is, Su Erlang, still has some brains.

       It's a pity that it's useless on the right path.

       On the other side, Mr. Su approached the Village Officer.

      The Village Officer politely invited him into the main room: "Brother Su, please sit down." He also asked his wife to pour a cup of hot tea for Old Man Su.

      Old man Su just smelled it, and he knew that the Village Officer's house did not brew cheap tea.

       "Good tea." Mr. Su said.

      Village Officer smiled: "Ah, it was given by her father."

      Master Hui Jue gave several jars, and Su Cheng couldn't finish it, so he shared some with Old Li and Village Officer.

      Master Su stopped talking.

      Village Officer remembered that the relationship between the little Su family and the old Su family was tense, and secretly thought that he should not mention Su Cheng in front of Mr. Su.

    He coughed lightly, and said, "You came to see me, is it because of Yu Niang's business?"

      He heard that Yuniang was going out to set up her own family. Su Yuniang's household registration could only be moved out with the consent of her family. As for re-accounting in the village, Lizheng of the village had to print her fingerprints.

      He has no objection to this.

      Master Su hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.

      Village Officer said: "Brother Su, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

      Old Master Su said: "I did come here for Yu Niang's affairs, but not for her household registration. I hope you can keep it a secret for Yu Niang."

      The Village Officer wondered, "What happened to Yu Niang?"

      Master Su sighed, "She stole the jade pendant from home."

      Village Officer was surprised: "What?"

    Mr. Su said: "When our old Su family sold the ancestral jade pendant, everyone only knew one thing, but not the other. In fact, it was a pair of pendants. There were two pieces in total. We sold one of them and the other.My father passed it on to me, and I plan to pass it on to Su Can before he dies—"

       "Ah..." Village Officer was really surprised.

      Grandpa Su looked at him: "The Village Officer should be able to understand the wealth, right?"

      Village Officer nodded blankly: "Yes, yes."

      Old Master Su continued: "After selling the jade pendant, our family has been thieves quite a few times."

      Village Officer sighed: "I know this."

      Old Master Su said: "That's right, about the other jade pendant, my father ordered me not to mention it to anyone, so as not to suffer disaster."

       "It's natural." The Village Officer expressed understanding.

      Everyone is innocent and conceived his crime. It was a famine year and banditry was rampant. If he found out that the old Su family still had a valuable jade pendant, he might have stolen it early.

      Master Su changed the subject: "Today, Yu Niang went home and took the jade pendant away."

       "Yu Niang?" The Village Officer was surprised again.

      Old Master Su shook his head and sighed: "I don't know why she did this, she is obviously not short of money—maybe she hates me for almost sending her to the nunnery? So I thought of this way to get revenge on me."

      Village Officer opened his mouth: "Ah, this..."

    Grandpa Su said earnestly: "Anyway, Yu Niang is my own granddaughter. Sending her to the nunnery is a helpless act. Whether she hates me or denies me as a grandfather from now on, I won't blame her. But Yu Pei is, after all,It was passed down from the ancestors, I hope she can return the jade pendant."

      Village Officer looked at him: "Brother Su, tell me this—"

      Grandpa Su said helplessly: "She refuses to listen to me now, I beg you to help me persuade her. Also, don't let the villagers know, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold her head up in front of the villagers in the future."

       One vote for you, one vote for me, Su Yuan will arrive in the next chapter!
