Chapter 23

Money

Fearing the humiliation of having his pants taken off, Su Cheng fought desperately to clear his name.

He resented his unreasonable aunt and cousin, as well as the person who had planted the corns in his home.

Yet, Ms. Lin and her son remained distrustful of Su Cheng.

None of the other children stood up for him either.

He felt a deep sense of despair.

The thought of being exposed to the public was so unbearable that he wished he could disappear.

Seeing his sister and Qin Zhenzhens arrival gave him a glimmer of hope.

He hoped that their Third Sister-in-law could prevent the removal of his pants.

He vowed that once he was safe, he would find the person who had planted the bag in his field and give them a thorough beating!

From that moment on, he no longer considered his uncles family as his own.

Observing Su Nings arrival with Qin Zhenzhen, Ms. Lin smirked.

She believed that the plump girl would easily fall into the trap in order to ingratiate herself with the Su family.

Ms. Lin made an outrageous demand, requesting 100 penalties, knowing well that the chubby girl had money and would surely come to redeem Su Cheng.

Ha, getting one liang would be a piece of cake!

However, what Ms. Lin hadnt antic.i.p.ated was that Qin Zhenzhen had visited them beforehand.

And now, she returned calmly, reaching out to untie Su Cheng.

Ms. Yuezheng interjected, Give the money first, then you can untie him!

Qin Zhenzhen gazed at Ms. Lin, amus.e.m.e.nt evident in her eyes. Why should I give you any money?

Angrily, Ms. Lin glared at Su Ning. How did you manage to inform your Third Sister-in-law?

Su Ning confidently replied, I am speaking the truth! I told Third Sister-in-law that my Fifth Brother didnt steal any corns. He was framed by you!

Su Nings eyes gleamed with antic.i.p.ation for what Qin Zhenzhen would do next. She hoped that Qin Zhenzhen would help prove Fifth Brothers innocence.

You wretched child, how dare you deny your actions! Ms. Lin seethed with anger and was tempted to strike Su Ning.

Qin Zhenzhen intervened, pus.h.i.+ng Ms. Lin away and issuing a warning. Keep your mouth shut. They may have lost their parents, but you have no right to speak like that!

Her words served as both a caution to Ms. Lin and an attempt to make her reconsider her actions.

According to the book, once Su Bin gained power, he retaliated against his uncles family, who had schemed against him. He not only refused to provide them with any a.s.sistance but also exposed their wrongdoings, leading to his uncle and two cousins being imprisoned.

Observing how Ms. Lin and her son handled the situation, Qin Zhenzhen believed that they deserved their fate.

Su Cheng and his family were already burdened with the sorrow of losing their parents. Yet, his uncle and aunt failed to care for them and even attempted to sabotage their livelihood, trampling upon their dignity.

As Qin Zhenzhen pushed Ms. Lin, the latter staggered back, nearly losing her balance. She was filled with anger and anxiety, feeling deeply humiliated.

Ms. Lin, aware that Qin Zhenzhens four brothers were known for their bullying behavior, didnt dare to antagonize her.

Raising her voice, Ms. Lin a.s.serted, I am their aunt-in-law and a senior member of the family. I have the right to offer guidance!

Qin Zhenzhen sneered in response, Guidance? What youre doing is humiliation, not guidance! You, as a senior, are trampling on the dignity of your juniors!

Qin Zhenzhens words carried an air of dominance.

Su Nings eyes gleamed with admiration. Even her Second Brother didnt dare to speak to their uncle like this, yet Qin Zhenzhen did. She had developed a fondness for her strong-willed Third Sister-in-law.
