CHAPTER 50

The women looked at each other.

Mrs. Sun came to her senses, looked at Mrs. Wang, and asked, “Sister Wang, didn’t you say that Su Wan was going to work at your house? How come Su Wan didn’t know about this at all?”

The remaining women also looked at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs Wang was originally leading the charge, but now she has to turn back.

Faced with so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Mrs. Wang’s face first turned red, then turned purple, and then turned into anger.

Mrs. Wang frowned and looked at Su Wan angrily: “Su Wan, didn’t you just say that you wanted to go back to work in my Wang family? How come now it seems that you didn’t know about this?”

Su Wan was stunned: “Aunt Wang, when did I say I was going back to work at the Wang family? Did you daydream about it?”

Several women looked at Mrs. Wang with contempt.

That’s right. Just now, when they were in the Wang family’s yard, everyone was still grumbling in their hearts about how the Wang family treated Su Wan in the past. When Su Wan was sick and lying in the Qingyun County clinic, the Wang family was eager to cut off ties with Su Wan and had no intention of taking Su Wan back from the Qingyun County clinic.

Now that Su Wan is well and has earned some money, she is still thinking about returning to the Wang family. This is too much of a loss.

Mrs. Wang was so ashamed that she had no face to show. She had just shamelessly told her old sisters that Su Wan had begged to return to the Wang family to work. But now Su Wan said that this never happened at all and that she had just dreamed and remembered it wrongly. How could she put her face aside?

These old sisters always looked at her with envy, not like now, full of ridicule and mockery.

Mrs. Wang yelled at Su Wan, “You little bitch, why don’t you admit it? Didn’t you say that if you don’t have that much dowry and want to marry Luosheng, you must serve me and my husband well, and serve Luosheng and Luoxue well?”

Su Wan smiled: “Aunt Wang, you misunderstood. This is what I said…”

Mrs. Wang: “Look, you admit that you said that, didn’t you? You cried and begged to serve our Wang family; why don’t you admit it now?”

Shen Yaya said, “Aunt Wang, Sister Su Wan said so, but it doesn’t mean that she will serve your Wang family.”

Shen Yaya handed the pot of spicy hot pot to Su Wan, then looked at the women and said, “Aunts, let me tell you what happened so that you don’t misunderstand Sister Su Wan.”

Several women pricked up their ears and listened.

Shen Yaya said, “At that time, Aunt Wang said that many girls were willing to pay dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver to marry Brother Wang Luosheng.”

“My mother and sister Su Wan responded out of courtesy, saying that Brother Wang Luosheng was a scholar and it was only right for him to have such a large dowry.”

“Aunt Wang also said that if there is no dowry, it is okay to serve the Wang family well.”

“My mother and sister Su Wan naturally agreed. It is natural for Brother Wang Luosheng’s wife to serve the Wang family well.”

“From the beginning to the end, Sister Su Wan never said that she wanted to serve the Wang family, but she just echoed what Aunt Wang said.”

The ladies suddenly realized that this made sense. Mrs. Wang must have taken advantage of Su Wan’s liking for Wang Luosheng and wanted to trick Su Wan into working for the Wang family. Su Wan echoed with her, so she thought Su Wan was the one who wanted to come.

Shen Yaya frowned and said, “Aunt Wang, how come Sister Su Wan agreed with you for a few words and it became Sister Su Wan wanted to go to the Wang family to be a wife? It seems that Sister Su Wan can’t talk to you in the future. If she talks to you again, you will sell Sister Su Wan out.”

Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Wang and said, “Sister Wang, this is your fault. Su Wan never said from the beginning to the end that she wanted to go back to the Wang family to work. You must have heard it wrong.”

The ladies were originally feeling bitter, but seeing this drastic change, they all felt secretly happy. They were originally expecting to see Su Wan begging Mrs Wang to return to the Wang family, but now they saw an even more exciting scene where Mrs Wang made big promises but Su Wan had no such idea at all.

Several women echoed, “That’s right, Su Wan never said she wanted to return to the Wang family.”

Mrs. Li smiled and took Wang’s hand: “Sister Wang, you heard it wrong. Su Wan did not say that she wanted to return to the Wang family. She just echoed your words, saying that Luosheng should either find a wife who can give a dowry or find a woman who can work, but she did not say a word of returning.”

A woman also said, “That’s right, Sister Wang, if we listen to you, we will naturally agree with you. It can’t be that just because we agree with you for a few words, it means we want to marry Luosheng with a dowry of a huge fortune or marry Luosheng by working hard for your family.”

Another woman continued, “That’s right. We are all so old; how could we possibly marry Luosheng? If we tell others about it, they will laugh their heads off.”

When the women were chatting, they would wander off topic, and this topic even ended up being about themselves and Wang Luosheng.

However, no matter how far the topic goes, the theme has not changed. Su Wan never said that and did not mean that. It was Mrs. Wang who was being too sentimental.

Another woman laughed and said, “It’s just like Su Wan said. Sister Wang must have dreamed it and thought it was real. What is this called? This is called daydreaming.”

Mrs. Wang had always been very proud among women and had never suffered such embarrassment. At this time, everyone was talking to her, and she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Mrs Wang blushed as she recalled what she had said to Su Wan. Su Wan did agree with every word she said, but Su Wan did not say that she wanted to return to the Wang family. However, it seemed to her at the time that Su Wan was testing her attitude.

By the way, at the very end, Su Wan said that she was going to clean up her things. Mrs. Wang blushed and finally struggled: “Su Wan, didn’t you say you were going to clean up when I left?”

Su Wan smiled and said, “Aunt Wang, I was going to clean up Aunt Shen’s vegetable garden in the backyard. I was too busy in the fall and didn’t have time to clean up the weeds and dead vines in the backyard. I have to take advantage of this free time to clean it up.”

Shen Yaya raised her little face and couldn’t help laughing and said, “Aunt Wang, you didn’t think Sister Su Wan was going to pack up and go to Wang’s house, did you? If so, you misunderstood. Sister Su Wan said she was going to clean up the vegetable garden for my family.”

Now, everyone understood everything. It turned out that Wang heard Su Wan say that she was going to pack up, so she thought that Su Wan was going to pack up the good things she bought and return to the Wang family. Mrs. Wang really thought a lot. Why did she only think about these good things?

Then What she says is not necessarily the truth, just like what she said about a girl in Qingyun County giving Wang Luosheng a purse is not necessarily true.

Mrs. Sun said, “Sister Wang, from this point of view, you really heard it wrong. When we go to clean the house or something like that, don’t we also say tidying up or cleaning up? This is different from what you think tidying up is.”

Several women were laughing in their hearts. Mrs. Wang had always been the most proud one among them, but today she had lost face so much.

However, some people were secretly thinking that after hearing
Mrs. Wang’s words: they originally thought that Su Wan was a fool and a stupid person. She was eager to go back, even though these people had kicked her out without helping her. Now it seems that Su Wan is not stupid.

Mrs. Wang felt so ashamed and angry. Everything the woman said seemed to indicate that she was just daydreaming and it was just her wishful thinking. How could Mrs. Wang bear this humiliation?

Mrs. Wang straightened her neck and said, “Su Wan, you never said you wanted to come back. Now, I’m asking you to go back to the Wang family. Pack your things and come back with me.”

Mrs. Wang was thinking that although she had misunderstood Su Wan and thought that Su Wan was coming back, in fact, even if she had misunderstood, Su Wan must have wanted to come back to the Wang family. The reason why Su Wan didn’t come back must be that she didn’t even dare to think about it.

I hinted to her before that she didn’t understand, and now that I’ve taken the initiative to explain it, shouldn’t she seize the opportunity?

However, the effect of me taking the initiative to ask Su Wan to go back to the Wang family was much worse than Su Wan begging to go back to the Wang family.

If Su Wan goes back on her own initiative, she will not only save face but also be able to control Su Wan at will in the future.

But fortunately, I can save my face by taking the initiative to propose it now.

Shen Yaya was unhappy. This Aunt Wang was too much. Before, when she heard that Sister Su Wan was in the clinic, she quickly distanced herself from Sister Su Wan. But now she wanted to call Sister Su Wan back just by saying a word. She was really shameless.

Shen Yaya crossed her arms over her chest and said angrily to Mrs. Wang, “Sister Su Wan is not going to Wang’s house; you go back by yourself.”

Mrs Wang’s face was fierce. Shen Yaya had just been talking too much. She had long disliked her. Mrs. Wang said angrily, “You little bitch, you have no right to speak here. Get out of here. Su Wan, come back with me. It seems that you have spoiled the Shen family these days.”

Mrs. Wang thought that Su Wan would be biased towards her and try to please her, so she scolded Shen Yaya.

Su Wan immediately handed the spicy hot pot back to Shen Yaya and said to Mrs. Wang in a bad tone, “Aunt Wang, I respect your age and call you aunt, but you can’t bully Yaya like this. Now apologize to Shen Yaya; otherwise, even the little relationship between us will be gone.”

Mrs Wang was shocked. Was the person who said this Su Wan? Su Wan actually said such a thing.

Mrs. Sun also said to Mrs. Wang, “Shen Yaya is still a child. As adults, we shouldn’t talk to her like this.”

The remaining women also blamed Mrs. Wang for being too harsh on a child.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to save some face, but now it is even more embarrassing.

Mrs. Wang was furious and threatened Su Wan: “Su Wan, is this the tone you use when talking to me? You, you, you… do you still want to marry Luosheng?”

Su Wan’s tone was hard and cold: “Aunt Wang, what are you talking about? When did I ever say that I want to marry Brother Wang Luosheng?”

“I’m a girl; you can’t tarnish my innocence like this.”

Mrs Wang suddenly remembered that when Su Wan was the child bride of the Wang family, although everyone would joke about her at the beginning, as Wang Luosheng became more and more successful, she did not want Su Wan to have anything to do with Luosheng, so she explained to people many times that Su Wan was just an orphan who was staying for  food and shelter in the Wang family.

Later, everyone gradually became vague about the matter. When the waiter from the clinic came to the door of her house, she clarified it clearly. Naturally, no one would think of Su Wan and Luosheng together.

Su Wan likes Luosheng, and this is even more unreasonable.
