Pampered By All In Different Planes

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: After Raising a Child and Getting Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled Rotten 16

“Su Zhiruan! You dare to stop your grandmother?! Have you grown bold, you losing proposition?!” The old crone with the gray headscarf cursed out loud, struggling to break free from Su Zhiruan’s grip, shaking her wrist, and glaring fiercely at her, “You two little harlots! Daddy’s gone, and you’re following outsiders, aren’t you afraid of finding a stepfather who’ll grind you to death?!”

Her curses were vile, insinuating much with her words. Li Meihua had always been timid, and at this point, she was even less daring to speak out. She simply lowered her head and stood behind Su Zhiruan.

“Auntie, one must be fair in life. Heaven watches over our deeds. If one does too many wicked things in this life, one won’t rest in peace even in Hell,” Su Zhiruan was known for her amiable nature, but that didn’t mean she was a pushover. There was an extreme rationality within her bones. She reached out and took hold of Zhixiao’s chilly hand, her tone neither servile nor overbearing, “If I were you, I surely wouldn’t make a fuss here, coming over to torment a family of orphans and a widow, tormenting the bloodline of the Su Family, tormenting a daughter-in-law who has served you for many years. The people are not fools; everyone can see what we have done, and what others have done.”

“You little losing proposition! Daring to talk back?! I should have sold you to a brothel when I had the chance. Now you’ve become quite the smooth talker! I wonder who taught you that!” The old woman continued to curse, her face growing greener with each word, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her hand, wanting to slap Su Zhiruan.

Su Zhiruan picked up a spiked rake from the ground, lifting it high. Her expression remained calm and composed, even a smile slowly spreading across her face, “Come any closer and try? At worst, you and I will die together. With both you and me gone, they three will live. Oh right, even if you die, you’ll be maligned. After all, everyone knows what kind of person you are.”

“You—” The old woman swallowed hard, her words stuck in her throat.

Su Zhiruan said leisurely, “If I were you, I wouldn’t come here at this time.”

At that, the old woman said nothing, her gaze just fiercely fixed on Su Zhiruan.

Su Zhiruan threw the rake away, casually dusting off her hands, her expression peaceful, “Grandmother, you came here, surely you are aware that your son—our father—has run off with a widow, cutting ties with us.”

“Humph, cutting ties, but you lot still took my Su family’s money,” the old woman tightened her gray headscarf, her eyes filled with resentment and reluctance, and occasionally glanced toward the rake, “If you have the ability, return the money!”

“You still don’t see it clearly, do you?” Su Zhiruan feigned helplessness, shook her head, and spread her hands, speaking calmly, “As a mother, don’t you know whether your son can make money? That widow paid for him. She loves him to death, and she resorted to all sorts of schemes to lure people in even when your son already had a wife. With money and absolute devotion, the widow now only has one daughter who is a scholar. In the future, once she has a son, they will be the true family.”

Su Zhiruan noticed the old woman’s gaze had begun to flicker, that look, the original owner had seen many times in her memories, each time it was with ill intent, full of bad water. She smiled slightly, ready to fan the flames even more.

The original owner’s nightmare from her past life largely involved this old hag. She simply couldn’t stand seeing her son with another woman, prioritizing sons over daughters yet wanting the entire family’s attention on herself, tormenting her daughter-in-law and granddaughters.

“We’ve already severed ties and have made an agreement before the village chief. If you continue to harass us now, you won’t get a penny, and you’ll ruin your reputation even further. By then, neither the widow nor your son will want to see you. I trust that’s not the outcome you wish to see,”

Su Zhiruan was confident, observing the old woman’s increasingly flickering gaze, and continued to pour fuel on the fire.

“If grandmother moves in with them now, the widow and her daughter will surely serve you well. She has money, and she’ll definitely let you manage it. Do you think she’ll still do the housework after she gets pregnant? You’ll have the money, live in a warm house with a fireplace, your son and grandsons by your side, an obedient granddaughter-in-law to care for you, a daughter-in-law to look after you, and buy you all kinds of delicious things. That would be far better than staying here with us, a bunch of orphans and widows, getting angry.”

Su Zhiruan shook her head as if she had no choice, her eyes full of laughter. She stole a glance at the old woman and knew in her heart what the answer would be.

Stable at last!

Being able to drive away this vampire all at once meant she wouldn’t have to worry about her family after she went to college.

In the original plot, the original host’s grandmother stayed in their home, acting like a lord, bossing everyone around as if she were the master.

Whether it was her, Li Meihua, Zhixiao, or even Zhishu, they all suffered under her.

But what was even more infuriating was that later, the original host was manipulated by Su Caixia into marrying a crippled widower, her sister was sold off, and her mother died of sorrow. At that time, the old hag enjoyed their service and spent all the money from selling her sister. While she lay on her sickbed, the original host’s scumbag father and the widow hypocritically came to visit, shedding crocodile tears.

And as the old hag lay on the sickbed, she actually believed that if she had gone to the widow’s house earlier, she certainly wouldn’t be lying in bed sick.

Then followed another round of cursing.

Su Zhiruan remembered this plot very clearly. It was a typical case of being unappreciated after all the effort. After enjoying their care in her later years, she felt on her deathbed that they hadn’t devoted enough attention to her, not as much as the widow’s family.

Since that was the case, Su Zhiruan decided to convince her to move in now, to start “enjoying” the wonderful life she thought she wanted.

“How could a woman like her have so much money?” The old woman was clearly swayed, her cloudy eyes darting around, “Where do they live?”

“Her husband passed away while working, leaving more money than she can spend. We barely managed to pay off our debts with the five dollars she gave us, and now we’re just getting by with the bare essentials. Sigh, if we were at her place, it would undoubtedly be cleaner and brighter.” Su Zhiruan pointed in a direction, “At the head of the village, the biggest house there is.”

“Since our Su Family’s second son has severed ties with your family, you and I have nothing to do with each other from now on. Don’t even think about asking me for money.” The old woman picked up her bag, ready to leave.

Su Zhiruan called out just in time, “That won’t do, Grandma. After all, we are still your granddaughters and grandsons. If you come into money, you should still look out for us.”

“Get lost, get lost!” The old lady was in a rush to get to the widow’s house, with no intention of dealing with Su Zhiruan. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Su Zhiruan made sense. Instead of being angered every day in a rundown place, it would be better to enjoy life somewhere wealthy.

Seeing Su Zhiruan still holding on to her, the old woman turned around, her gaze sweeping across the faces of Li Meihua and the two children, frightening Zhixiao into shrinking back. Only then did the old woman speak with satisfaction, “Since my son has nothing to do with you, naturally, I have nothing to do with you either. From now on, let’s go our separate ways and not interfere with each other’s lives. There’s no further connection between the two families.”

Su Zhiruan was quite pleased inside.

But that still wasn’t enough. She pretended to be sad, and tears were about to fall as she looked at the old woman.
