Chapter 101 - Humiliated And Ashamed
Su Bai had come to get the ownership of the restaurant back but instead he ended up ruining his precious son"s name , Su Bai felt like he had dropped from heaven to a pot of hot coals , just a few minutes ago his pockets were filled with silver taels but now not only were his pockets empty , he was also humiliated and ashamed - but he didn"t mind it ,? but when Su Cheng name was dragged in the scuffle , he couldn"t sit still anymore , he pointed at Su Wan and in his rage and anger , words seemed to blabber out of his mouth in an unending stream , Su Bai was really scared , for the first time he knew what fear was, he was truly afraid that if Su Cheng "s academy teachers came to find out that their family actually sold their daughter to pay for Su Cheng "s study , who knows what kind of reputation will his precious son be left with ?fr????????e?. ?o?
" You deserve to die , you deserve to die ! Not only do you embarra.s.sed you father , you even dragged your bother ! Do you no longer believe in family ties , I"m your father and he is your father , and yet you sprouted such lies in front of everyone ? You dare to treat me and your brother in such a way , then who knows you might treat your husbands and mother in law in the same way ! I want to talk to Shen Hai and ask how his sister taught her daughter ?"
Su Bai glanced at the dock workers who were still whispering and looking at him like he was a royal a.s.shole . ( you are you just don"t want to accept it )
Su Wan smiled sweetly at Su Bai " Sure why not ? But father , What are you going to tell uncle ? That you sold his only niece to be a shared wife ? If I"m not sure my uncle is still out of town because my eldest cousin was getting married , and he is yet to return . Isn"t this the reason why you specifically chose this month for my marriage ? And you don"t need to disturb my uncle to ask about what my mother taught me , my mother died because of malnourished the day I was born , I for one know it very well that whatever I have learned , I have learned from you "
Blaming others , shirking from responsibilities who did it better than the Su family ?
Without waiting for Su Bai to retort her , Su Wan raised her voice and said "Father you have already sold me to become a shared wife and degraded me to such a state where I can"t even lift my head in front of my fellow villagers , when ever I leave my house , All the women in the village run away from me like I"m carrying an unmentionable disease , is this not enough ? My mother"s dowry was left in your hands for years and you have been taking care of it all along , if I"m not wrong in just ten years you might have at least acc.u.mulated at least eight to nine hundred taels give or take after the household expenses , why do you have to steal from my restaurant? Do you want me to die that badly , that you actually stole from my restaurant now that I"m married ?if my husbands bring other women in their household to make up for the loss that you just caused today , only then will you be happy ? Are you upset that no one is bullying me in my husbands home that you want to take charge in your hands ?"
All the dock workers were looking at Su Wan in a sympathetic manner , some found her pitiful while some wished they could beat Su Bai to pulp for treating such a young girl with injustice , only Lin Yan was looking at Su Wan in a funny manner - bring another woman in their house ? Hah , if anyone of them dared to bring a woman in their house , That new woman might not be able to bully Su Wan at all instead it will be Su Wan who would be kicking that woman together with who so ever who brought her in the house . And can"t even lift her head ? Excuse me , since when you couldn"t even lift your head wasn"t it the women of the village who scampered away from you in fear with their head bowed ?
After eating at Su Wan"s restaurant Old Peng "s opinion of Su Wan and her husbands were rather good , he looked at Su Bai and idly commented from the side with a scoff " this is the first time , I am seeing a father who curses his own daughter to die . Selling his daughter and pushing his wife to an early death wasn"t enough so he actually came here to bully his daughter again , humph its really the weak who gets bullied - hey you old man , I"m telling you if you keep acting like this you will become really famous in the town let"s see who will let you son study in their academy if that happens "Su Bai "s heart jumped this was a clear threat disguised in a normal comment . If word really ended up spreading that he forced his wife to die and bullied his daughter to death , the scholars at the academy will really suspend Su Cheng and Su Lan was also at marriageable age , with such nasty rumours who will marry his daughter to their son ?
The usually calm and gentle manager w.a.n.g also hobbled out of the restaurant and glared at Su Bai as if he was his worst enemy "Don"t be too much , when you were in charge you did nothing for this restaurant that my missy left after her death instead all you knew was to rob and plunder this place as if it was your private treasure house , I"m telling you that earlier , I silently endured because you said that you wanted the money for my young missy but now I know that you never spent a single tael at her , From now on , I might as well jump down this building than let you take a single tael !"
Lin Yan glanced at Su Bai and his eyes hardened slightly , though he knew that Su Wan would never allow anyone to bully her and most of her tears were crocodile tears , he still hated Su Bai for making his wife suffer " Mr . Su , the day you sold your daughter and I and my brothers married her away , we signed a doc.u.ment that? said that you will have nothing to do with her anymore , so whatever Su Wan brought with her also has nothing to do with you , you better remember that she is married to me and my brothers now , if you dared to repeat what you did today , I won"t settle the matter with just a warning , you won"t be talking to me and I won"t be talking to you - if anyone will have a chat with you it will the yamen officers , you get it ?"
Su Bai made a trip so far and got nothing , all of his fuss resulted in him getting scolded by the dock workers and his own daughter and son in law. So , he could only flung his sleeves and leave with gloomy clouds hanging on his head .
