Chapter 7: Revenge Must Be Taken The Same Day, Otherwise You’ll Be Too Angry To Sleep At Night.

Su Jianguo gasped when he heard this.

He felt like his daughter knew he and Lin Mei slept separately after their marriage.

Hearing his daughter say such shameless words, he couldn’t help but reach out and smack the back of her head.

Then he whispered, “My God! You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about!”

Seeing Su Jianguo’s expression and recalling the book’s description of him, Su Wantang knew he had softened and couldn’t bear to abandon Lin Mei and Song Shiyi.

But Su Wantang wouldn’t indulge him, nor would she easily let Lin Mei and Song Shiyi off.

So, she openly confronted them.

Stepping back two steps, she said loudly, “I’m ashamed to live under the same roof with a thief! If you don’t cut ties with these two today, then fine, consider me no longer your daughter!”

Hearing this, Lin Mei immediately cursed, “You little vixen! You just can’t stand your father being good to me and Shiyi. You’re deliberately trying to make your father die alone! You’re an unfilial daughter!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wantang kicked Lin Mei again, sending her flying.

Su Jianguo quickly grabbed Su Wantang.

His brows furrowed, “Xiao Wan, don’t be impulsive, maybe there’s a misunderstanding?”

Su Jianguo couldn’t understand why his usually obedient daughter, who got along well with Lin Mei and Song Shiyi, was acting so strangely today.

This time, Lin Mei fainted from the pain.

Song Shiyi was terrified and quickly rushed to Lin Mei’s side, biting her lip, not daring to provoke Su Wantang again.

Fu Yanci silently glanced at Su Wantang, then stepped forward to Su Jianguo and the village chief.

His presence exuded justice and pressure.

“If there’s a misunderstanding, she should be given a chance to explain. However, the lost items in this iron box don’t belong only to Comrade Su, indicating she’s a habitual offender.”

“So, village chief, I believe you will handle this impartially. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave now.”

After speaking, Fu Yanci patted the village chief’s shoulder before striding away.

The village chief watched Fu Yanci leave, pondered for a moment, then transformed into a symbol of justice.

Walking to Su Jianguo, he said sternly, “Old Su, I know you’re loyal, but Lin Mei stole so many valuable things from everyone, and everyone is holding their breath. Don’t soften your heart.”

Someone echoed, “Exactly! Old Su, you’ve been good enough to them. Now that she’s made a mistake, she should take responsibility!”

“Theft is a serious crime! And she stole from so many of us. If we let her off lightly without sending her to a farm for reform, everyone in our He Ping Village will follow suit. What then?”

The village chief also lowered his voice and said to Su Jianguo, “Your own daughter is engaged to the Fu family from the next village. Captain Fu witnessed this today. Lin Mei has committed such a serious crime, don’t soften your heart. Think about your daughter’s future…”

Song Shiyi watched the village chief and Su Jianguo whispering.

Seeing the angry villagers, she knew she and her mother had fallen victim to Su Wantang.

Looking at Lin Mei lying unconscious on the ground, she hardened her heart and decided to clear her name.

She was still young. If she was implicated and sent to a farm, her life would be ruined!

Song Shiyi suddenly crawled to Su Jianguo, her eyes filled with tears, and said in a crying voice, “Dad, I know you feel sorry for Mother and me, but Mother really made a big mistake. For my sister’s future, Mother and I will never implicate you and my sister…”

“She should be sent for reform for her mistakes. I… I’m also ashamed to stay at the Su family. I’ll leave today and never appear in front of my sister and Dad again. Dad, please don’t let this create a rift between you and my sister…”

The villagers looked at the pitiful Song Shiyi and started talking again.

“How could someone like Lin Mei give birth to such a sensible and well-behaved child like Shiyi…”

“Even a dragon can have nine different offspring. It’s just bad luck for Shiyi to have such a wicked mother!”

Su Wantang raised her eyebrows and asked Song Shiyi, “So, you think you have nothing to do with this? It was all Lin Mei’s doing?”

A flicker of guilt flashed in Song Shiyi’s eyes.

She shook her head repeatedly, aggrieved, “How could I have nothing to do with it? Sister, I didn’t persuade Mother, letting her make a mistake. I know Mother is sorry to everyone, so I apologize on her behalf…”

Saying this, Song Shiyi kowtowed to everyone.

Su Wantang sneered inwardly.

Sure enough, she was the vicious female supporting character in the book. She was flexible and vicious enough to even betray her own mother.

In a few words, she shifted all the blame to her mother and cleared herself.

But it didn’t matter.

Su Wantang wasn’t someone who would let herself suffer losses.

As the saying goes:

Revenge must be taken the same day, otherwise you’ll be too angry to sleep at night!

Therefore, neither of these two would escape.

The order of their punishment was merely a matter of sequence.
