Chapter 70 - 70 For the House
70 For the House
Zhang Chunxiang knew this was bad, but it was too late to stop her.
“It’s because of our family’s five tile-roofed houses,” Su Wen put on a heartbroken expression. “Ever since my father pa.s.sed away, my second and third uncles wanted my family’s five houses. They said I’m just a girl, and even if I have a live-in husband, I’m not qualified to get a house.”
Whoos.h.!.+
The crowd gasped.
Zhang Chunxiang’s face was pale. He wanted to say something. But when his eyes met Su Wen’s, his lips felt sewn together, and he couldn’t open them.
He knew that Su Wen would have something to retort him no matter what he said. If word got out that he wanted to scheme against his brother’s family today, everyone would keep their distance from him in the future. The dirty water she had poured on Su Wen and the things he had lured her into doing would all be gone.
Everyone was surprisingly quiet, but how they looked at Zhang Chunyan and Chen Guihua was creepy.
The people in the countryside were simple and were often enthusiastic about people. The families had many quarrels and conflicts. But it was rare to bully a niece whose biological parents had died. Before Xuewen died, he had already told everyone that as long as Wen married a live-in husband, the house would belong to Wen.
Wasn’t this matter already set in stone?
“Really? Xuewu and Xueqiang still haven’t given up on the five tile-roofed houses?” An old lady with silver hair walked out from the crowd. Although she was old, she was full of energy.
Su Wen recognized her. It was the third grandma.
The third sister-in-law of the original character’s grandfather was very prestigious in the village. Usually, if the Su family had any minor conflicts, they would look for her to mediate.
Su Wen nodded, meeting third aunt’s eyes without any avoidance, “Second uncle and third uncle want it. I-I don’t know what to do. Second and third sisters were not married yet, while the fourth and fifth sisters were still studying. Sixth sister and little sister are still young. I don’t know how to care for them if I don’t have a house. Third aunt, I beg you, please give us seven sisters a way out! If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to move out of the house.”
As she said that, a string of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.
It was not an act this time. Su Wen’s heart ached when she thought of the fate of the seven sisters of the Su family in the novel.
The villagers were all moved, and their eyes turned red.
Even Li Youcai was feeling quite upset.
“Wen, you’ve suffered. Your parents are no longer around. It’s not easy for you to hold on alone.” The more w.a.n.g Chunyan thought about it, the more her heart ached. The surrounding onlookers also lost their interest in joining in the fun. All of them looked at Su Wen with pity and guilt.
Putting aside the rumors about Su Wen, it was difficult for Su Wen. Other people her age had parents and brothers to help them, but she had nothing.
“Aunt Chunyan, I’m fine. When my father pa.s.sed away, he told me to care for my younger sisters. I know what I should do.” Su Wen’s words were not an act at all. After this time together, she took her ident.i.ty and responsibility seriously.
“Good girl.”
Zhang Chunxiang gritted his teeth in hatred. He wanted to open her mouth to refute, but third aunt glared at him fiercely. He was so scared that he didn’t dare to speak.
Chen Guihua didn’t know when to speak. She saw that not only did everyone not curse Su Wen, but they also spoke up for her. How could she bear with it?
Wouldn’t everything she had done end in vain, then?
If she couldn’t drag Su Wen down with her, the village head would make her work in the fields to earn work points.
