Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Trashing

Curse that Su Yunjin!

How dare she want Xiaofu to marry Old Master Huang?

Xiaofu is her own granddaughter!

How could she marry Old Master Huang?

If anyone should marry, it ought to be Su Yunjin and her sister!

Nothing but a pair of lowly creatures!

Marrying them off to Old Master Huang would be an elevation for them.

Though unspeaking to her face, Widow Tao cursed Su Yunjin bitterly in secret.

With a hint of sarcasm in her tone, Su Yunjin spoke, “Granny, scared now, are you? Su Xiaofu is your own granddaughter, and you’ve been protecting and pampering her! What now? Relying on the fact my second sister isn’t your own granddaughter, you treat her so terribly?”

As soon as Su Yunjin finished speaking, those around all felt that Widow Tao was excessive, truly a step-grandmother, and her thoughts were a bit too malicious.

“You ungrateful girl, how have I ever been bad to you and your second sister?” Widow Tao exclaimed indignantly, “All these years, after I married into the Su Family, I have toiled and slaved away. First, I found you a good marriage, now I’ve secured another good match for your second sister. I am so busy looking after you and your second sister’s affairs that I have no time to arrange a match for Xiaofu, my own granddaughter. Yet, you accuse me in this manner? Does your conscience allow it?”

Widow Tao’s cries and curses were all in self-defense, “Oh, how did I end up raising a bunch of ingrates? Toiling and laboring over other people’s affairs, and instead of gratitude, I’m accused of being a malicious step-grandmother. Ah, had I known, I never would have come to the Su Family to suffer this indignity.”

Upon hearing Widow Tao’s cries, Su Yunjin’s grandfather Su Lao scoffed, his face darkening as he scolded her, “You unfilial thing, look at what you’ve done to your granny! Aren’t you going to apologize to her right now?”

Su Yunjin looked at her grandfather; these years, he had only ever protected Widow Tao and her sons and grandsons, never sparing a thought for her or her parents. Widow Tao’s tyranny over their family for all these years owed much to her grandfather’s doings.

As for such a grandfather, Su Yunjin had no intention of acknowledging him! What’s more, she wasn’t even the original soul of this body; the original inhabitant had already been harmed to death by Widow Tao and her granddaughter.

Disregarding her grandfather’s words completely, Su Yunjin looked at Widow Tao and sneered, “Ha! Granny? You’ve been really ‘good’ to my second sister and me, haven’t you? First, you sold me off to a poor hunter in the mountains to be his wife, then you repeated the trick with my second sister. In doing so, not only did you gather a hefty amount of silver, but you also managed to acquire a good reputation in front of outsiders for treating my sister and me well? Tsk, tsk, tsk! Such a clever move!”

Widow Tao felt a surge of guilt; she had not expected Su Yunjin to know that she had sold her under the guise of marriage. Widow Tao, who had been ranting and raving just moments ago, suddenly found she could not make a sound.

“You… you’re talking nonsense, don’t you slander me! I genuinely wanted what was best for you and your second sister! When have I ever sold you?”

“Not so?” Su Yunjin looked straight at Widow Tao, her tone pressing, “Granny, in front of all these people, do you dare say you haven’t taken any silver from Old Master Huang and the Gu Family?”

All eyes in the courtyard turned to Widow Tao, who first felt guilty but then declared righteously, “So what if I took a bit of silver? Haven’t I painstakingly raised you and your second sister over these years? Don’t I deserve a little betrothal money?”

Su Yunjin really wanted to laugh in Widow Tao’s face!

Over the years, Widow Tao hadn’t spent a single copper coin on them besides exploiting them for her gain, yet she had the audacity to say she was the one who raised them.
