Chapter 179: You’re Not Worthy

“Let’s go, we’ll join in. By the way, why not pick some grapes to sell? There are still quite a lot of grapes on the vines, and picking a few won’t have a significant impact,” Wang Jinhe asked Su Yu.

Looking at the grape-laden vines, Su Yu considered for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Alright, let’s pick a bit more. We can use some for making grape wine. Selling grape wine will bring in even more money.”

If they sent this grape wine to the capital, it would surely become popular throughout the city.

“You seem to have money on your mind all the time,” Wang Jinhe said with a wry smile.

Su Yu rubbed his chin. “If we can earn more money, why settle for less?”

“I’m a bit speechless,” Wang Jinhe said, looking at Su Yu and couldn’t help but speak.

Indeed, Su Yu had a point. More money is always better.

“Okay, let’s make wine together and store it in the cellar. We can sell it next year. After aging for some time, the taste will be more mellow and much better than the freshly made one,” Su Yu suggested.

Su Yu nodded in agreement. “That’s perfect. We’re currently building a house at home, so we can have them dig a bigger cellar for us.”

“That’s a good idea. A larger cellar will allow us to store more food. You never know which will come first, unexpected events or natural disasters. Having food stored in the cellar gives us peace of mind.”

They also needed to prepare some dried vegetables for the future.

“I’m planning to go into the mountains later,” Wang Jinhe said to Su Yu with a serious expression.

“Why do you need to go into the mountains?”

“There are many treasures in the mountains. If there are treasures, why not take them? Only fools would pass up on treasures,” Wang Jinhe said, grinning at Su Yu.

“Alright, I’ll go with you later.”

“Mom and Dad, come quickly!” While the two were talking, Xiao Bao had already picked a lot of grapes.

Seeing that the two of them were not coming over and continued to talk here, he became a little unhappy.

Hearing Xiao Bao’s voice, Wang Jinhe and Su Yu glanced at each other and went to find Xiao Bao.

After picking grapes all day, they sold some and used the rest to make wine.

Su Yu propped his chin and looked at Wang Jinhe, a faint smile on his face.

Every time he saw Wang Jinhe working diligently, he couldn’t help but be drawn in.

She was completely different from the noble ladies he had encountered before.

The young ladies from those aristocratic families he had met were all self-centered, thinking they were beautiful and noble without realizing that it was only a superficial appearance with dull souls.

Wang Jinhe was different. She had an interesting soul inside an attractive exterior.

Noticing Su Yu staring at her, Wang Jinhe looked at him strangely. “Why are you staring at me like that? You’re making me embarrassed. Am I really that good-looking?”

“A serious woman is the most attractive, and that’s you,” Su Yu replied.

Qiuyi and Qiuchan shook their bodies. If they didn’t have work to do, they would have left by now. The young master was talking so casually, disregarding other people’s feelings.

Wang Jinhe glared at Su Yu and said with annoyance, “I hear you talking nonsense.”

After speaking, she ignored Su Yu and started working seriously. Su Yu wasn’t upset about it; instead, he watched her with a smile.

Yuan Bao walked in from outside and approached Su Yu, whispering something quietly.

Su Yu’s face instantly darkened after hearing it. They seemed to persist in meddling with his affairs. Even at this point, they dared to intervene.

…..

In the Su family’s residence in the capital, Su Xi looked at the additional people in the house, his brows furrowed in annoyance at this girl.

Seeing Yang Shanshan’s pleased expression, Su Xi sneered. “It seems that Xiaoyu has cut ties with you, and you forced him to leave and live independently. Yet, you still haven’t realized the gravity of the situation.”

Due to Su Xi’s words, Yang Shanshan’s face turned pale. She couldn’t help but shift her gaze to Su Xi. “Dad, I’m doing this for his own good.”

“For his own good? Who in the capital doesn’t know that Xiao Yu dislikes Xie Yang? Finding someone Xiao Yu dislikes, is that what you call looking out for him?” Su Xi looked at Yang Shanshan and asked with a cold sneer.

Yang Shanshan’s mood soured even more upon hearing this. “Dad, what’s wrong with Yang Yang?”

Whether it was in appearance or family background, Xie Yang was a match for Su Yu. What more could he be dissatisfied with?

“Has Xiao Yu ever told you not to interfere in his affairs?” Su Xi looked at Yang Shanshan coldly.

With just this sentence, Yang Shanshan recalled Su Yu’s sinister expression after she had struck Yuan Bao.

Su Yu had warned them that if they interfered in his affairs and arbitrarily found someone for him, they shouldn’t blame him for being heartless.

“It seems you’ve figured it out,” Su Xi said with a cold sneer, looking at Yang Shanshan’s somewhat pale face.

Yang Shanshan subconsciously clenched her hands, looking at Su Xi. “Dad, why do you dislike me so much?”

“It’s not that I dislike you, but you don’t know what’s good for you. Knowing that the child dislikes someone, you still insist on bringing her as a daughter-in-law. Whose idea are you contradicting?” Su Xi said bluntly, not caring if Xie Yang was nearby.

Xie Yang’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant. After pursuing Su Yu for so many years, was this what she obtained?

Subconsciously clenching her fists, Xie Yang looked at Su Xi and said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Su, what’s wrong with me? Why do you have to defame me like this?”

“You don’t have anything wrong with you. As for what you call defamation, you’re overthinking it. The only thing wrong with you is that Xiao Yu dislikes you. He gets annoyed when he sees you. Is that enough? Also, Xiao Yu’s wife is the person who saved him four years ago, not you,” Su Xi said bluntly to Xie Yang.

Hearing this, Yang Shanshan was very dissatisfied. “If that person has been missing, does it mean Xiaoyu will never get married? Moreover, if the other person is just a village girl who doesn’t know anything, does Xiaoyu have to marry her?”

“Exactly.”

“Dad, you’re too much. Where in the world is there a father like you?” Yang Shanshan was infuriated when Su Xi nodded in agreement.

What was the meaning behind Grandpa’s words? He would rather let Xiao Yu marry someone who knows nothing than accept Xie Yang. What was wrong with Xie Yang?

Grandpa looked coldly at Yang Shanshan. “Have you always been disdainful of Xiao Yu’s lifesavers? First, it was Yuan Bao, and now this girl. Considering what you’ve done to Xiao Yu over the years, do you still think you have the right to meddle in his affairs?”

“I…”

“Don’t say you’re Xiao Yu’s mother, and whatever you say, he must listen. Don’t forget, a few years ago, you beat Xiao Yu to death. Now, Xiao Yu’s life was saved by Yuan Bao. And you? You’re not worthy.”

Su Xi’s words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Yang Shanshan’s heart. Su Qin frowned upon hearing Su Xi’s words. “Dad, we already know we were wrong.”
