The old lady gazed deeply at Madam Gu, unexpectedly finding that even after more than twenty years, Madam Gu was still so unrefined.
The look from the old lady stung Madam Gu, who, feeling somewhat embarrassed, angrily retorted, “What are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at how ugly you are while thinking you’re beautiful. These hundred taels of yours is really quite substantial.” It couldn’t even buy a few jin of strawberries from her farm.
“Don’t be insatiable in life,” Madam Gu said with a gloomy expression.
“I sell watermelons for a hundred wens per jin, my strawberries go for several taels of silver per jin, even the vegetables I grow cost a hundred wens per jin. Your hundred taels are quite a lot; I haven’t seen the market but have never seen so much money before,” Wang Jinhe sneered at Mrs. Gu, revealing the prices of the fruits and vegetables she cultivated.
Madam Gu’s face turned purple and green. From Wang Jinhe’s words, she also figured out that the popular strawberries and vegetables during the New Year in the capital were all grown by Wang Jinhe.
If that was the case, she really wasn’t short of money.
The problem was, they were short of money.
However, Wang Jinhe had to be taken back with them.
“You must come with us,” Madam Gu ordered.
“Who do you think you are? You dare to command me like this?” Wang Jinhe disdainfully laughed, her eyes full of mockery.
Indeed, as Mother said, this so-called Madam Gu is too self-conceited.
Since her husband became the head of the Gu family, no one dared to speak to Madam Gu like this again.
“If you don’t want your family to get into trouble, you better obediently listen,” Madam Gu warned.
“Oh, let me see who this is? Such a big attitude,” Su Yu couldn’t bear it and walked out of the house.
Seeing Su Yu, Madam Gu’s pupils contracted slightly, frowning at him, “What are you doing here?”
“What does it have to do with you if I’m at my wife’s house?”
“It’s impossible. I’ve never heard that you got married.” Madam Gu instinctively refuted. How could the Su family accept a village girl as their daughter-in-law? Especially someone like Su Yu, who managed all the family industries.
“Grandpas, someone has doubts about whether you have a granddaughter-in-law,” Su Yu said, turning to look inside the house.
Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei walked out with stern expressions, looking at Madam Gu with cold eyes. “Do you have a problem with my granddaughter-in-law?” Su Xi asked.
The Gu Family Head couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei. Did others not know them?
These two elderly men were Su Yu’s Paternal grandfather and Su Yu’s maternal grandfather. Their simultaneous presence here could only mean that Su Yu and Wang Jinhe had indeed gotten married, and not only that but had also gained the approval of Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei.
“Don’t worry. When I married Xiao He, my brother, my eldest cousin, and even my second uncle all came,” Su Yu said as if not satisfied with the impact, delivering another slap to their faces.
Madam Gu seemed to be choked, unable to continue her clamor. They might not fear just one Su family, but Yang Zhenwei’s position in the martial world was too high. If Yang Zhenwei really decided to act, they would face not only the Su family but also the power of Yang Family Fortress.
Moreover, the Gu family currently needed some things from the Yang Family Fortress, and the Gu Family Head dared not provoke Yang Zhenwei at this time.
“What’s going on, Xiao He? Do you know these two people?” Su Xi asked, frowning as if he knew nothing.
Wang Jinhe looked wryly at Su Xi, “Grandpa, I’ve never left Xie Family Village. How could I possibly know people like them? The wealthy youths I know all come to my house themselves, not met outside.”
“Then why are they here?” Yang Zhenwei also asked.
Wang Jinhe shook her head blankly, pointing to the hundred taels of silver on the ground. “I don’t know. They only said they wanted to take me away and gave Grandma a hundred taels of silver, hoping she’d sell me to them.”
Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei burst into laughter, “A hundred taels of silver?”
“Yes,” Wang Jinhe felt insulted; was she only worth a hundred taels?
At the same time, she felt extreme disgust towards these two individuals. She even felt fortunate that she didn’t grow up in the Gu family, given such parents.
If she had grown up in the Gu family, she would probably have gone crazy directly. With such parents, it’s better not to have any.
Su Yu reached out and embraced Wang Jinhe’s shoulders, “When we got engaged, this young master gave nearly a hundred thousand taels of gold as a betrothal gift to Xiao He. Are Your hundred taels of silver more significant than my hundred thousand taels of gold?”
Wang Jinhe is now a little rich woman. The things he gave, along with the dowry given by his eldest uncle, added up to quite a lot. Who cares about her hundred taels?
Who is insulting whom here?
Madam Gu never expected that Su Yu would say such words.
A betrothal gift of one million taels of gold, plus the health-enhancing fruits and vegetables Wang Jinhe sold, Madam Gu was somewhat jealous that Wang Jinhe had so much money.
She, the wife of the Gu family, had never seen so much money.
“What do you want with Xiao He?” Su Xi looked at them calmly and asked.
If these two people can’t explain themselves today, don’t blame him for being impolite.
The Gu Family Head knew very well that they would leave with their tails between their legs today.
With Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei sitting here like two great mountains, it’s impossible for them to take Wang Jinhe away.
After understanding the current situation, the head of the Gu family chuckled and said, “Uncle Su, this is a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding? Do you think there’s a problem here with the old man?” Su Xi pointed to his head and snorted.
To come up with such an excuse, it seems that the head of the Gu family is really at the end of his wits.
Madam Gu looked at Wang Jinhe with great unwillingness. Only this woman could save her daughter, and she couldn’t give up like this.
However, it doesn’t seem realistic to do something.
Looking at Wang Jinhe, Madam Gu is considering how to make her willingly offer her help.
Madam Gu’s gaze was too obvious, and Wang Jinhe frowned slightly, “Why are you looking at me with that kind of look?”
Su Yu stood in front of Wang Jinhe, blocking Madam Gu’s line of sight.
Madam Gu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but quickly calmed down, “Young Master Su, there’s no need to protect her so tightly.”
“This young master only has this one wife. I have to protect her. What if some ignorant person harms her? Madam Gu, don’t you think so?” Su Yu asked with a meaningful tone.
Madam Gu’s eyes flickered slightly, sensing that Su Yu’s words contained a hidden warning.
“What can anyone do to her with you around, Young Master Su?” Madam Gu chuckled.
Su Yu spoke with a profound meaning, “It’s not necessarily the case. My wife is a precious treasure. Everything about her is valuable. What if someone has their eyes on my wife’s blood and tries every means to harm her? Madam Gu, what should we do if we encounter such a person?”
