Translator: Fuyu
Chapter 37 - So then, the minor loss she had suffered at Su Yu's hands wasn't embarrassing in comparison (1)
Although Liu Dayong apologized, Su Yu was still unsatisfied. She harrumphed and said, "Who knows if you're telling the truth. You came here so aggressively. I think you're here to cause trouble. I still have to ask the public security comrades to come. If they come late, I might suffer a beating. My personal safety must be protected."
Liu Dayong almost couldn't hold himself back. This woman was terrible. Just as he was about to retort, his wife stopped him.
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "In-law, our family's men have short tempers, but they're not bad-hearted. We really didn't come here to cause trouble."
Su Yu smiled, looking as if she didn't believe them. "Then why did you guys come here? Don't say you're coming to visit relatives. I've never seen people visit relatives empty-handed."
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law inhaled, took out a few two-catties food tickets from her pockets, and stuffed them in Su Yu's hand. "It's noon, and we didn't have time to buy anything. In-law, take this to buy food, will that do?"
"... That's better. Okay, come in to sit then." As Su Yu led the group inside, she didn't forget to order Su Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, pick up the basin and go fetch water. I haven't washed my face yet."
Seeing that his big sis had subdued the Liu family, Su Xiaozhi couldn't admire her more. Hearing her order, he immediately responded. He quickly picked up the basin and went to the bathroom to fetch water.
The Su family's home wasn't big, and there was no place for the visitors to sit.
There was no way Su Yu would let them sit on their beds either. She pointed at the two stools and had them make do while she sat on the chair next to the table. Su Dazhi stood by the side with his head lowered.
The Liu family no longer had any arrogant airs. They were so angry, but they didn't dare to let their anger break out.
If a fight happened, they wouldn't be afraid. Anyways, the Su family had few members, and they were weak too. However, the boss of the Su family would threaten to call over the public security at the drop of a hat.
The Liu family were sulking. What family would call the public security over during a family dispute? Even if someone became disabled from the fight, it was still a family matter!
"Sis, should I pour water?" Su Lin was standing behind Su Yu. She was afraid of the Liu family. When her big brother had gotten married, the Liu family warned they would come to clean them up if Liu Mei was wronged. Just now, she had truly been scared a fight would start.
Su Yu waved her hand. "We're so poor that we don't even have cups. What's there for them to drink? Our family is worse than other families. When other families marry a wife, they'll have kitchen utensils at home."
The faces of the Liu family didn't look good. She was saying that Liu Mei hadn't brought a dowry.
Just as Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law was about to speak, Su Xiaozhi came back with water. Su Yu waved at Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law and then stood up to wash her face.
Right after she was done, she turned around and got the upper hand by speaking first. "It's good that you guys came today. Your family's Liu Mei ah, it's really time for you guys to discipline her. She's been in our home for so long and eats my food. In the end, she dared to quarrel with me to separate the family! Tell me, is there any wife like her?"
She pointed at Liu Mei's two sister-in-laws, "In-laws, you're also married women, tell me, is Liu Mei's behavior, right? If what she did is right, why don't you guys learn from her?"
The two sister-in-laws were immediately stifled. They did want to separate the family, but they didn't have the ability. Their father-in-law and mother-in-law were pressing down on them and their husbands weren't cowardly like Su Dazhi.
Liu Xing said, "Even so, you have to feed her."
Su Yu sneered. "Since you brought it up, let's talk about that. She's been married into our family for so long, but she hasn't turned in even a penny. Not only that, she's also taken Dazhi's money. I'm a woman, and I raise two children and support their schooling, and I also raise Dazhi. You still want me to raise Liu Mei on top of that? Do you have a conscience?"
