Chapter 59 Lin's Fake Pregnancy
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Su Banxia finally spoke.
“Father and Mother, I went to town today and sold some herbs. Now I have some money in my hands. Tomorrow I want to ask the village head to help us hire some villagers to build a house. We will provide lunch and give each person twenty coins.”
As she spoke, Su Banxia paused and glanced at the expressions of Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua.
“In that case, let’s build the framework of the house first, and then slowly repair it. Otherwise, if we rely on the second branch of the family to work, I’m afraid it will take forever to build the house.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she took Su Banxia's hand, saying:
"Banxia, you've really gone to great lengths for our second branch of the family. As your mother, I don't know what to say."
Su Hanzhang sighed.
“Since Banxia has spoken, let’s do as she says. Tomorrow I will go with you to talk to the village head about this matter.”
Su Banxia took out a handkerchief to wipe away Wang Guihua's tears, and comforted her with a smile:
"Father and Mother, don't think too much. What I'm doing now is what I should do. Who told me I'm so lucky? I'm bringing good fortune to our whole family. Our second branch of the family will definitely have a better and better life in the future."
Wang Guihua sniffed and nodded heavily.
"Yes, our daughter is lucky. She always has helpful people around her, and our family is getting better and better."
Since Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua learned that Su Banxia had received lessons from an immortal in her dream, they stopped caring about Su Banxia's affairs and deliberately avoided inquiring about her secrets.
They were also afraid that if too many people found out, they would anger the gods, so they stopped helping Su Banxia and her second wife's family.
Therefore, whenever Su Banxia brought back food or goodies, they would accept them without asking any questions.
As for Su Shiyan, he was even more oblivious. He firmly believed that his younger sister was just naturally capable and lucky, and that she could find good things that others couldn't find every time she went up the mountain.
However, their thinking saved Su Banxia from having to lie all day long, and it also allowed them to eat more good food and take care of their health.
The second family ate at the foot of Dwarf Mountain before returning to the Su family home. As soon as they entered, they saw Lin from the third family beating Su Mo with a broom.
"You clumsy, stupid girl! I asked you to fetch me water to wash my feet, and you fetched it so hot! Are you trying to scald me to death?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She stepped forward to block Su Mo's view and addressed Lin Shi:
"Third sister-in-law, I know you're pregnant now and a bit irritable, but you can't take it out on the baby. The water for washing your feet is too hot, I'll add some cold water for you, please don't be angry."
Seeing this, Lin threw the broom on the ground, glared at Su Mo who was hiding behind Wang Guihua, and said:
"Hmph, like mother, like daughter! I get angry just looking at your second wife's family!"
Upon hearing this, Su Banxia immediately stepped forward and slapped Lin across the face.
"Aren't you angry because our second branch of the family isn't willing to be slaves to the Su family? Who do you think you are, expecting my mother to wash your feet? My mother is upright and honest, unlike you who pretends to be pregnant even though you're not pregnant!"
Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Lin's face stiffened, and she angrily said:
"Su Banxia, you brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
As he spoke, he reached out to slap Su Banxia's face.
At this moment, Su Congxian heard the commotion outside and hurriedly came out of the house.
"Honey, what's wrong? Who made you angry again?"
Lin pointed at Su Banxia and said angrily:
"Old Su, look at how your niece bullies me, her aunt! I'm pregnant with your child, and she still dares to hit me!"
Upon hearing this, Su Congxian rushed out without saying a word and kicked Su Banxia hard.
"Who do you think you are, daring to hit your third aunt!"
Seeing this, Su Hanzhang rushed over to stop Su Congxian, frowning as he said:
"Initially, it was indeed wrong for Banxia, as a junior, to hit her third aunt, but Lin Shi was also at fault first, she..."
Before Su Hanzhang could finish speaking, Su Congxian roared:
"Su Hanzhang, don't push your luck! Who do you think you are, daring to act as a judge in front of me? I'm only calling you 'Second Brother' because I respect you. If you piss me off, your entire second branch of the family will get out of here!"
Granny Liu was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) sleeping. Being old, she felt sleepy after eating and couldn't sit up. She was sound asleep when she heard a commotion in the yard, so she threw on a coat and went out of the house.
"You're always making a ruckus! You can't even let me have a single day of peace!"
When Su Congxian saw his mother come out, he quickly went over, grabbed her arm, and complained:
“Mother, if we don’t take care of this second branch of the family, they’ll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. That brat Su Banxia even dared to hit her third sister-in-law. You know, Lin is carrying our Su family’s child in her belly. If she’s really frightened and hurts the child, your eldest grandson will be gone!”
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's eyes widened, and she glared at Su Banxia, who had just gotten up from the ground, and scolded her:
"You jinxed nemesis, you've already harmed your parents, now you want to harm your third uncle and aunt too?"
As she spoke, Granny Liu picked up the broom that Lin had just thrown down and was about to hit Su Banxia when Su Hanzhang stepped in front of her and took the blow for Su Banxia.
Seeing this, Su Shiyan hurriedly called out:
"Grandma, my eldest sister and my youngest sister were also beaten by my third aunt. How can you be so biased towards the third branch of the family!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu turned and rushed towards Su Shiyan.
"I'll teach you to keep your mouth shut. I don't know which bastard taught you to be like this. All you do is gossip. How am I biased towards the third wife? Tell me, how am I biased?"
As she spoke, Granny Liu began to lash out at Su Shiyan with her broom.
Seeing this, Su Banxia panicked and immediately shouted:
"Grandma, you're such a stupid old pig! You were completely fooled by the third branch of the family and used as a pawn! My third aunt wasn't pregnant at all. They lied to you before just to swindle your money! I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!"
After yelling, Su Banxia felt much better. She had only wanted to take the opportunity to scold Liu Pozi while telling the truth. She had been so ruthless in beating the people from the second branch of the family. This time, Su Banxia wanted to see how Liu Pozi planned to beat the people from the third branch of the family.
When Lin saw that Su Banxia had revealed all her secrets, her face turned deathly pale.
She had planned to use her pregnancy to enjoy a few more comfortable days, and then find an opportunity to say that she had miscarried and lost the baby, so that Granny Liu would naturally have no grounds for complaint.
Now that Su Banxia has exposed the matter so early, Lin Shi is naturally terrified.
