Chapter 178: Bad Luck

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The news spread like wildfire, giving the village chief, Li Youcai, plenty of work. He tried ordering another search, but it, too, came up empty-handed, the culprit(s) long having made their getaways. Li Youcai reported the matter to the authorities in town since there was nothing more he could do. The Sun family had to swallow their grievances and admit they were down on their luck.

...

Fortunately, Zhou Hengyang had provided substantial compensation, more than enough to treat the injuries of the two brothers.

Word got around that Sun Dahai’s sorry state resulted from offending a certain someone, causing them to look at Su Wen strangely when she ventured out of the house.

Zhu Yueju, who had been waiting for her daughter-in-law to come to her door and beg for mercy, began to worry because her two sons were beaten up so badly that they could not get out of bed. With her daughter-in-law gone and her sons bedridden, there was no one to work the fields or tend to the household chores. She even needed to cook for herself!

Having not needed to stand in the kitchen for years, how could she willingly do so now?

Zhu Yueju made a trip to her in-laws’ house, hoping her daughter-in-law would return. Instead, she was chased away and barred from entering the neighboring village her in-laws stayed in. She became the greatest joke in the village.

Sun Yunyun was in school when she heard her two older siblings were beaten up again. Worse, they did not even know who had done the deed; it was extremely frustrating. Her family had not been doing well recently. It seemed all their good luck had been spent. Even in school, she had to withstand the several fingers pointed at her back.

Sun Yunyun recalled how she was once the most popular person in school. Her fellow students always took the initiative to play and share their food with her. Ever since those rumors from the village spread via word of mouth from the students who resided in villages nearby, her good reputation had taken a hit.

Everyone was deliberately distancing themselves from her.

Sun Yunyun secretly gritted her teeth and studied hard, fantasizing about using her outstanding results to convince others that the rumors were false. She hated Su Wen for being so vicious. She could not understand why Hengyang treated someone vicious like Su Wen so well.

He even forked out so much money on her behalf!

Su Wen must have deceived Hengyang; there was no other explanation. Su Wen was a vicious hypocrite taking advantage of Hengyang’s kindness!

Was it her pendant? That good luck charm Su Wen had snatched from her? All of their family’s bad luck started when Su Wen took it!

Sun Yunyun secretly made up her mind. When she returned during the summer break, she would think of a way to get the pendant back.

She would take back what was hers.

Li Youcai had just settled the Sun family’s matter when trouble came knocking at his door in the form of Grandma Gou Dan and company. Grandma Gou Dan grabbed Li Youcai and shook him, demanding justice. She was not about to let that little slut, Su Wen, trample over her like the dirt beneath her feet.

Li Youcai had no choice but to send someone to look for Su Wen.

“Aunty Su Wen’s in trouble, Aunty Su Wen is in trouble!” A little girl with her hair done up in rope-like braids shouted as she ran, hopping up and down past obstacles that blocked her way. Her face was beat-red from the exertion, making her look especially cute.

Su Wen, who was dealing with the sheepskin in the courtyard, recognized her. The little girl’s name was Su Xiaoya, and she called her aunt according to seniority. Her mother fell ill after years of hard labor and died because the family had no money to pay for her treatment. Later, the little girl’s father remarried. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you must have a stepfather.

Since her stepmother gave birth to her younger brother, Su Xiaoya’s life at home grew increasingly difficult. Not only was she often left hungry, but her stepmother would also take advantage of her father’s absence to force Su Xiaoya to drink water meant to wash the pot, albeit she had heard all this from her little sister.

Su Xiaoya was one of her younger sister’s friends outside of Xiaohua, who had been sold off. Since Su Wen started making steamed cakes, her younger sister would secretly give some to Su Xiaoya to eat. This made their relationship improve by leaps and bounds..
