Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Tian despised being called fat; it felt like reopening a wound and pouring salt into it.

She blushed and retorted, “No matter how fat I am, I’m still better than you two old monsters! You pushed your daughter-in-law to this extent.”

“You! You unfilial girl! Watch how I beat you to death today.”

The old man grabbed a broom and moved to strike his granddaughter when the old woman took off her shoes and pursued Chu Tian.

Just as it seemed she was about to strike, Chu Tian agilely dodged, fleeing the house and nearly stumbling into the aunt with crooked teeth.

The elderly couple caught Chu Tian and started hitting her. She endured a few blows, and her body throbbed with pain, her legs trembling.

Observing the situation, the aunt with crooked teeth intervened and didn’t miss an opportunity to sow discord. “You’re all family. How can you make such a commotion? Look at the Su family. They’re happy and prosperous. That woman is amazing; she’s the cause of your family’s problems.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi’s parents-in-law immediately stopped what they

were doing. Their mean faces were covered in anger.

Speaking of the Su family, they were from the same village!

Su Shen had acted unreasonably by taking their daughter-in-law to the police station, making their family’s life even more challenging. If Chu Xi were to be convicted, who would provide for the family in the future?

The old woman quickly pulled the aunt with crooked teeth aside and inquired, “Oh, thank you for the reminder. By the way, didn’t the Su family head to the

“They just returned this afternoon,” the aunt with crooked teeth replied with a grin. “You should’ve seen them. They returned with a cart full of treasures, the whole family chatting and laughing. You folks are in deep trouble.”

As she recounted what she had witnessed at the village entrance earlier, the aunt with crooked teeth appeared green with envy.

Hearing her words, Chu Xi’s parents-in-law’s eyes reddened.

They had never anticipated that Daqing Village would have someone as wealthy as Su Shen.

Back then, the Su family had been exceedingly poor and had hardly any presence in the village.

Later, when the country began opening up its economy, Su Shen, despite being the subject of villagers’ fears, took the bold step of starting a pig farm due to a lack of information and courage.

This left the villagers concerned that he would implicate everyone and led to calls to expel the Su family from Daqing Village.

After all, Su Shen’s actions were far-sighted, and his pursuits were viewed as extremely risky by the average person.

Unexpectedly, around 1980, people in the city began to embrace individual business ventures.

The country also encouraged the development of self-employed households, initiating an era of “daring to think and work hard” to build a career.

Suddenly, everyone was jumping into entrepreneurship and beginning their own businesses.

Previously forbidden phrases like “street stalls,” “night markets,” and “self-employed households” became popular terms of the era.

Even their village had reopened the five-day trading market. The farmers sold some farm fruits and vegetables, and some who were capable sold small commodities.

Since Su Shen had acted early and positioned himself accurately in the industry, he initiated and expanded his farm, eventually becoming the wealthiest individual in the village.

Those who wanted to chase him out of the village were left eating their words, eagerly aligning themselves with him and acknowledging him as a relative.

Chu Xi’s in-laws had even traced their genealogy, conveniently ignoring their tenuous connection to the Su family and shamelessly attempting to draw closer to them.

With this newfound relationship, when no one cared for Su Shen’s children, it seemed natural for Chu Xi to care for them.

Ever since Chu Xi began looking after Su Shen’s child, their family’s life improved significantly.

However, since the arrival of the city woman, Chu Xi had not only lost her job but was also arrested.

The two old couple gritted their teeth in frustration, their faces dark with anger. They wished they could devour Gu Zi’s flesh and drink her blood.

The aunt with crooked teeth wore a sly grin as she observed the situation. Deliberately addressing Chu Tian, who had been sobbing on the sidelines, she said, “Why are you crying? You should fight for what’s rightfully yours. Have you not seen Gu Zi? She was smiling so brightly!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian, who had been whimpering and kicking her legs, abruptly ceased her tears.

She couldn’t shake the feeling of injustice. She had been with Su Shen for so long, and her mother had looked after his children for an extended period.

Yet, in the end, they were easily replaced by a city woman who seemed like a cunning fox. What right did she have?

She immediately stopped being angry about being beaten. She pulled the two elders to the side and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s all because of Gu Zi that Su Shen has become so distant. It’s all her fault.”

“We should go to the Su family. We must persuade Su Shen to kick that city woman out and free your mother,” the two elders concurred. With the three of them no longer arguing, the aunt with crooked teeth continued to fan the flames.

“You’re absolutely right. I don’t think Gu Zi is a good person. Don’t forget, you’ve done so much for Su Shen..”
