Chapter 12: Deterrence

  Later, he married her and relied on his own ability to make a living. After that, he brought the mother and daughter to live in this town with him. Although he still did what a son should do for his family, apart from these original principles, the husband had never agreed to anything else.

  Does she still remember that the little girl got married, originally according to her mother-in-law's intention, it was to let her husband come out with some money for the little girl's dowry at the time of marriage, but in the end, her husband strongly refused, and because of this matter, her husband and her mother-in-law and the little girl became deeply resentful.

  Having figured this out, she walked out from behind her daughter and faced her husband's family. Suddenly, Liuqin felt a sense of relief wash over her.

  Facing her mother-in-law's scolding and her sister-in-law's nagging, Liu Qin remained very calm and slowly sat down in the only remaining empty seat.

  Looking at her daughter-in-law's behavior, the old lady seemed very unhappy. "Let you go get some food, why are you acting like you're dying? If you don't want us to eat, just say so. Don't think that by not speaking, others will think you're a good person."

  Liu Qin listened to these words, and since she had figured out many things, she didn't find it strange anymore. She just looked at her mother-in-law with a faint gaze, "Mom, I admit that in this life, I have not wronged you, but how can you treat You Jin like that? You should know."

  The old lady was furious, her face turned red, and she stretched out her hand to grab Liu Qin, but Su Mo Ruo stretched out his hand to block it.

  With a fiery gaze, she glanced at Su Youcai sitting motionless beside her, clearly waiting for the fisherman to reap the benefits of the fire on the other shore. Her voice was icy and menacing, "Su Youcai, I'm telling you today, my reputation in this town is not something to be trifled with. If you think it's not loud enough, go ask around, I don't care if you're a senior or not. As for what you said, that I'm an uneducated wild girl without parents, well, that's normal. Let me tell you, if you all don't leave soon, the sky will be dark, and I'll have to remind you that walking at night is particularly dangerous."

  To say the least, Su You was already fuming with rage, and the next few words were enough to make him erupt like a volcano. Originally tall and robust from years of farm work, he suddenly stood up, his powerful palm slapping the table, causing the old table to shake violently.

  "You're courting death, you think a few words can intimidate me? Let me tell you who Su Youcai is, go ask around if you don't know. Don't think you can scare me off with just a few sentences."

  To say that it was the former Mu Qing, he would definitely not bother to talk to this person, but after becoming Su Mo Ruo, his physical instincts also developed more towards Su Mou Ruo, and his thoughts were still those of Mu Qing. His eyes gleamed with a hint of evil intentions, "Well then, let's ride a donkey and watch the storybook."

  "Stop horsing around with me, you little beast. If I don't teach you a lesson today, your tail will be wagging all the way to heaven."

  As the scene became more and more intense, the onlookers outside who were watching the commotion couldn't help but retreat and disperse. Later, a couple who should have just arrived rushed in and started mediating.

  Finally, an old lady walked in, her face looked very gentle, a pair of eyes gave Su Mou a good impression, and beside the old lady were Quan Mian'er and Kong Yihui.

  Sumo Ruo was familiar with Kong Yihui and Quan Ming'er, but that didn't mean she was familiar with their elders. She had a notorious reputation in the town, with a rebellious mind, so it was impossible for her to be close to their elders. They had only met a few times, but her gaze never fell on these people. So when they suddenly came in, she really hadn't recognized them, but when she saw Quan Ming'er and Kong Yihui, she reacted.

  No wonder they work for the government, although it's just a township government, but Kong Yihui's parents seem to be very capable, the two of them took turns speaking and quickly brought the situation under control.

  Su Yu'er is just a paper tiger, with a fierce appearance. Just now when Su Mou was fighting with her older brother, she was scared stiff. She grew up with her older brother since childhood and naturally understood his temper. When they were young, he was hot-headed and prone to violence. Once, because of some conflict, her older brother took a knife to someone else's house to seek revenge and almost killed them. He has a very strong and overbearing personality, and if you're not careful, he might direct his fists and kicks at you. Her sister-in-law was driven away by this older brother.

  She had been afraid of her elder brother since she was a child, and although her parents spoiled her, she tried to avoid him as much as possible, so most of the time, he liked to bully his honest younger brother Su Youjin.

  At this moment, her big brother who made her very uncomfortable was actually fighting with Su Mo Ru, a niece who had never had any status in her heart. Moreover, the viciousness and ruthlessness displayed by this niece were not inferior to those of her own big brother at all, and she even felt that if it came down to it, her big brother might not be able to beat this little girl.

  At this time, she had to admit that in her heart, there was some fear of Su Mo Ruo, this niece.

  The old lady was also frightened by the atmosphere, she had never liked Su Mo Ruo, and just now she saw her not caring about her identity at all, and arguing with her son, she had always been strong-minded, rural women themselves mostly uncultured, and reckless things were even more arbitrary.

  "You little savage, you're going to turn everything upside down today." The old woman trembled as she stretched out her hand and pointed at Su Mo.

  Just as things were about to get out of hand, Kong Yihui's parents hurriedly persuaded these people to calm down. As they were preparing to take them all away, a low and menacing voice with a hint of viciousness rang in everyone's ears.

  "Leave the money and go, otherwise I can accuse you of robbery."

  The old woman originally had some spark in her eyes, but actually she was just taking advantage of the situation to make a scene. Seeing that things had escalated to this point, she had come over today just to get money. The scene had become like this, and she also wanted to leave as soon as possible. Although the money wasn't much, it wasn't little either. She didn't want to suffer a loss, but unexpectedly, Su Mo Ruo actually saw through her scheme.

  His face suddenly turned ugly.

  Kong Yihui's father also stopped in his tracks, looking at Su Moruo with a puzzled expression. He naturally knew this girl, as his son often mentioned her in front of them. However, they didn't think highly of her, after all, she was a girl with that kind of reputation, and her name wasn't well-known in the whole town. They originally didn't agree with their son being close to her, but sometimes when they heard him talk about this girl, they found it interesting. Over time, they didn't say anything about their son's interactions with this girl, which was equivalent to tacitly approving of their son being friends with her.

  "You... you this wild girl..."

  "Never mind about others, leave the money and you can go." Su Mo's eyes sparkled with a clear message at this moment.

  What I originally wanted to say was also choked back by Su Mo's forceful words, and I couldn't utter a single word.

  Su Youcai was also angry, and stepped forward to confront Su Mou. Kong Yihui's father quickly intervened, lighting a candle while telling his wife to hurry up and call someone to take these people away.

  In the end, due to Kong Yihui's father and mother's status in this town, the men around them came out to help mediate and pulled Su Youcai away.

  The old lady's face turned red with rage, her eyes full of malice, she spat at Su Mo and her mother, then took all the money out of her pocket and threw it on the ground before turning around and leaving.

  "It seems like you're really senile now." Looking at the scattered coins on the ground and the envious eyes around her, Su Mo's smile was insincere, her voice sounding extremely strange.

  "You little rascal, don't be too excessive." The old lady only felt a surge of something rising up in her chest, trying to suppress it, but the expression on her face still looked extremely unpleasant.
