Su Xiu gripped a hammer tightly, her face turning green with anger. However, she kept silent due to family ties.
Ma Xiulan was her grandmother. Even if she felt no affection for her, the two sisters were like a pair of hands in their grandmother’s eyes.
“Ma Xiulan, what do you mean by that?”
Sister Chrysanthemum couldn’t hold back any longer. She stood up and spat melon seed skins at Ma Xiulan. “Others might have the right to speak, but you don’t. Everyone knows you favour boys over girls, look down on Su Wen and her sisters. You turned hostile the moment Xuewen died, and now you still dare to criticize Su Wen.”
“Who gave you the right?”
Ma Xiulan’s anger boiled, and her vision blurred. “You… Sister
Chrysanthemum, how dare you scold me? Regardless, I’m still your elder. How can you treat me like this?”
“Then let me ask you, does anyone treat you as an elder?”
“Sister Chrysanthemum, stop talking.”
“Sister Chrysanthemum, come back quickly. Don’t you know what kind of person Ma Xiulan is? You are not her match.”
Sister Chrysanthemum was pushed into the room by a few people, preventing her from coming out.
Ma Xiulan clutched her waist and chased after them, scolding, “Li Chrysanthemum, don’t hide if you have the guts! Come out, why are you hiding?”
Sister Chrysanthemum calmed down. Running a small shop now, she couldn’t afford to offend people in the village as she used to. She could only express her frustration in the room.
Ma Xiulan saw that Sister Chrysanthemum admitted defeat and became even more arrogant.
Sun Yunyun didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Su Wen was indeed ruthless. Even her grandmother wasn’t on her side. Ma Xiulan probably wanted Su Wen dead just like her!
This was advantageous for her.
Sun Yunyun maintained a kind but fragile smile on her face. She walked up to Ma Xiulan and said in a soft voice, “Grandma Su, thank you for standing up for me. I can’t thank you enough.”
Ma Xiulan turned her head and scrutinized Sun Yunyun. After a while, she sneered, “Hehe! You little troublemaker, don’t think I don’t Imow what schemes you’re plotting.”
Sun Yunyun gritted her teeth but didn’t show it on her face.
The prison had taught her a valuable lesson. As the saying goes, a fall into the pit is a gain in one’s wit. Sun Yunyun pondered a lot when she faced adversity in prison.
Her inability to defeat Su Wen stemmed from being more realistic than Su Wen. She easily revealed her emotions, while Su Wen hid behind a facade of hypocrisy.
This time, she aimed to emulate Su Wen.
No matter what happened outside, she wouldn’t retaliate, even if someone slapped her.
She wanted to see if people would still believe in Su Wen.
She portrayed herself as the pitiable one.
“Grandma Su, you misunderstood me. I Imow I did many wrong things in the past, but now I understand my mistakes. I will change.” Sun Yunyun spoke earnestly as she gently tugged at Ma Xiulan’s sleeve. “I’ll be honest with you. Right now, the person I dislike the most is Su Wen. Others have nothing to do with me.”
“What do you mean?” Ma Xiulan sensed the underlying message but probed further.
Sun Yunyun was secretly delighted. “Grandma Su, I have immense respect for you. You’ve always been someone I can learn from.”
Despite Ma Xiulan’s notorious reputation, she couldn’t resist Sun Yunyun’s flattery..
