Chapter 66 Marrying Su Mo to Su Feng
Su Mo forgot to dodge at this moment, and just watched as the teacup and the scalding tea fell on her. She was stunned for a moment before she cried out in surprise.
"Aaaaaaah, it's so hot!"
Aunt Cai was also startled when she saw this. She had always known that Granny Liu was known for her shrewishness, but she did not know that she was actually so shrewish that her own granddaughter would hit her without any mercy.
The thought of introducing Granny Liu's precious daughter to Sun Da, and not revealing Sun Da's background to the Su family, sent a chill down her spine. She dared not linger any longer and quickly stood up, smiling:
"Grandma Liu, I just remembered I have something to do at home, so I won't stay for dinner. I'll be going now."
Having said that, without waiting for Granny Liu to speak, he strode towards the door.
Seeing this, Granny Liu hurriedly called out from behind:
"Hey, hey, don't rush off! The food's all ready, why don't you stay and eat?"
Aunt Cai waved her hand without turning her head and said:
"No, no!"
Granny Liu hurriedly called out again:
"Then don't forget to tell Sun Da!"
Aunt Cai didn't dare to answer and hurriedly ran out in a sorry state.
Seeing that Aunt Cai had gone far away, Granny Liu stopped chasing after her and turned to Su Mo, who was wincing in pain, and scolded her:
"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Su Feng? If you're someone who doesn't know any better, our Su family probably can't keep you here!"
Seeing that Aunt Cai was probably not going to find her a blind date anymore, Su Mo, feeling resentful, shouted directly at Granny Liu:
"Didn't I already tell you? Su Feng and I have only met a few times, and we have absolutely no relationship. It's all just wishful thinking on his part!"
After saying that, Su Mo ran out crying without looking back.
Granny Liu had never seen Su Mo dare to lose her temper like this before. She was stunned for a moment, watching Su Mo's retreating figure and muttering to herself:
"This brat, you can't even say anything to her now. Look at all of you, you're all so pathetic. If you don't want to stay in this house, you'd better get out now!"
Having said that, Granny Liu plopped down again.
"Hmph, you just know how to ruin my plans. If there's even the slightest problem with your aunt's marriage, I'll skin you alive!"
Just then, Old Man Su returned from the fields and saw Granny Liu raging in the house again. He was so frightened that he dared not go in, fearing that Granny Liu would find fault with him and start scolding him.
So he hurried to the kitchen to find something to eat. When Old Man Su saw that there was still food warming in the pot when he came back today, he felt much more at ease. After eating, he quietly went back to his room and lay down.
Previously, his second wife's family had been busy with farm work. He hadn't worked in the fields for several years, and now, after working for several days in a row, he finally felt that his body couldn't take it anymore.
At this moment, he deeply regretted that his fourth son had witnessed what happened at Widow Li's house that day. Ever since then, Old Man Su felt that he was no longer close to his fourth son.
When Su Songchuan got into trouble, he didn't even stand up for me or try to cover it up for me. Now he's making me work in the fields every day. I'd rather not have a son like that.
Only now did Old Man Su realize that his youngest son, whom he had doted on his whole life, hadn't been of any help to him. On the contrary, it was his hardworking and devoted second wife and her family who had been quietly contributing to the Su family all along.
The more Old Man Su thought about it, the more he felt he had let down the second wife's family and his second son. So now, every time Old Man Su saw Su Hanzhang, he was very polite and wanted to get closer to him.
But Su Hanzhang had already lost heart and no longer had any demands on her parents; she only wanted to take good care of her own little family.
Old Su was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) lost in thought when he saw Granny Liu angrily kick the door open and come in. Startled, he immediately sat up on the kang and looked at Granny Liu with a nervous expression.
Granny Liu glared at Old Man Su and cursed:
"If you're going to lie down, then lie down properly. Why did you suddenly sit up? You scared me!"
Seeing this, Old Man Su didn't dare to say anything and obediently lay down again.
"Hey, what do you think of Su Feng?"
Old Su looked at the roof beam and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I know that kid you're talking about. He wanders around the village all day, doesn't have a proper job, is a street urchin, and isn't a good person. Why are you suddenly asking about him?"
Granny Liu sighed, took off her shoes, and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
"I was thinking, if all else fails, I'll just marry Su Mo's daughter to him!"
Old Man Su already felt guilty towards the second wife's family, and upon hearing Granny Liu's words, he suddenly sat up, looking shocked, and said:
"Old woman, I think you've gone mad! What good girl would marry that scoundrel!"
Granny Liu patted her chest and glared at Old Man Su.
"Can you please stop being so jumpy? You scared me again!"
As she spoke, Granny Liu leaned against the quilt at the head of the kang (heated brick bed).
“I don’t want to either, but Su Mo and Su Feng have an ambiguous relationship. If this gets out, not only will Su Mo have a hard time finding a husband in the future, but even the other daughters in our family will have a hard time finding good husbands.”
Old Su frowned and pondered for a moment.
“I think Su Mo is an honest girl. How did she get involved with Su Feng? Why don’t we have the second son go and talk to Su Feng to clear things up, so that he won’t keep bothering Su Mo in the future and ruin his reputation in the end?”
Granny Liu glared at Old Man Su and said impatiently:
“When did you become so concerned about the second wife’s family? I think that once you get involved with Su Feng, you can’t get rid of him. It would be better to just marry Su Mo off to him. That way, we won’t be afraid of ruining our reputation, and we won’t be afraid of Su Feng causing any more trouble.”
As she spoke, Granny Liu sighed and continued:
"I heard from Madam Qin that Su Feng went crazy today because of Su Mo. He grabbed a wood-chopping knife and tried to come to our yard to kill people!"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Su's eyes widened in fright. He wanted to say something more, but ultimately remained silent. He naturally knew that someone like Su Feng, who had nothing to lose and wasn't afraid of those in power, was not someone to be trifled with.
If we really anger him because of Su Mo, the Su family will probably never have peace again.
But when he thought of his second son's face, Old Man Su felt a pang of guilt.
He pursed his lips and silently lay down again. He knew he couldn't make decisions for Granny Liu right now, so he could only wait until his second son's family came back in the evening to talk to him about it and give him a heads-up so that he wouldn't complain about him later.
Thinking this, Old Man Su blinked and fell asleep.
