Sorrow transformed into strength for Su Jing, making her work with a renewed vigor. As a result, the Su family had their dinner early that day. During the meal, Gu Zi brought out the braised meat from the shop. Su Li ate with great satisfaction, exclaiming, “Mom, when I’m on holiday, I want to help Grandma sell braised meat too. I want to learn business and make big money!”

Gu Zi smiled indulgently, serving him a large piece of braised pork intestine. “Good, learn business, make big money. Mom is looking forward to it!” For Gu Zi, as long as the outcome was different from the original, she would be happy even if Su Li became an ordinary person.

Passersby, returning from their farming work, caught the scent of the braised meat and looked on enviously. The Su family was already enjoying a hearty meal while they had just finished their day’s labor.

Someone sourly remarked, “Have you heard? The Lin family’s business has been declining. There aren’t as many customers as when they first opened.”

“Many people in town haven’t been able to establish their businesses. How could the Lin family possibly sustain theirs? I think it’s only because of Su Shen’s money that they’re still afloat. Otherwise, they would have gone bankrupt.”

Although everyone knew these words were exaggerated, they continued in the same vein.

Another person added, “I think those city folks were just Gu Zi’s hired stooges, putting on a show for us. Do you see anyone coming now?”

A woman who had visited the town just yesterday and had tried the braised pig’s head meat couldn’t forget its taste. The aroma wafting from the Su’s house was making her mouth water.

However, she couldn’t stand the false words being spoken by the people around her.

She stepped forward and said, “What bankruptcy? It’s just not as bustling as the first few days of opening. Their business is far from dismal. You should go to town one day and see for yourself how well they’re doing.

“They’re living well because they have money. Su Shen earns his money honestly. What’s wrong with his family living well? Many people in our village have benefited from Su Shen’s success…”

As the woman was reprimanding the group, they happened to pass by Aunt Zhang’s house. Aunt Zhang heard everything clearly. After finishing her meal, she visited the Su family and relayed what she had heard. “You don’t know, those people were silenced by her words. I was standing behind the door, listening with such satisfaction. I always say, there are still many righteous people in our village.”

Upon hearing the news, Su Jing immediately thought of Li Li, who had come to see her earlier that day. She was seething with anger at these despicable individuals who could not bear to see others doing well. With a swift smack on the table, Su Jing rose to her feet, declaring, “Aunt Zhang, take me to them. I’ll tear their mouths apart!”

Upon hearing her words, Su Li stood up in agreement. Finally, he felt a sense of approval for his aunt, at least she wasn’t a coward. “I’ll go too. I’ll knock their teeth out!” he exclaimed. Even the usually composed Su Bing stood up, unable to tolerate anyone speaking ill of his mother.

Gu Zi, however, was slightly irritated, especially by Su Li’s words. She was deeply concerned. With a stern slap on the table, she scolded, “All of you, sit down! Are you all full and ready to join the underworld gangs or what?”

The woman’s beautiful face took on an authoritative expression. The three who had been so bold just moments ago instantly lost their momentum and sat back down. There was no choice, this was a matter of hierarchy, and Gu Zi was the leader.

Aunt Zhang found the whole scene amusing and laughed, “Oh, they were just joking. They wouldn’t really tear anyone’s mouth apart. I’ve shared my gossip and eaten your food, I should get going. I still have dishes to wash at home.”

As Aunt Zhang rose to leave, Su Li hurriedly followed to open and close the door for her. He seemed to have upset his mother earlier and thought it best not to linger.

Su Jing immediately stood up to head to the kitchen, “Haha, I think I haven’t washed the dishes yet. I’ll go do that now. Su Bing, do you want to help?” Without hesitation, Su Bing nodded in agreement, and the two also made their escape.

Gu Zi paid them no mind, continuing to watch television while holding Su Le. She gently told the little girl in her arms, “Le Le, you mustn’t learn from them. They’re all brutes.”

The next morning, Li Li was already waiting outside the Su family’s door. Afraid of attracting Gu Zi’s attention, she didn’t knock, but waited as agreed with Su Jing.

Inside the house, Su Jing sat, fully aware that Li Li had arrived. She deliberately didn’t go out, letting her wait a while longer. After all, there should be a price to pay for wanting to harm others.
