Su Xiaoxiao put her hands behind her back and casually said, “I have to say ah, Liu Ping really doesn’t know what’s good for him. Isn’t he just doing more hard labor and work as a cow and horse* for others, so why does he feel aggrieved? There is also Mrs. Wu, who is in charge of everything inside and outside of the family, like washing, cooking, cleaning, chopping firewood, all of that. As the eldest daughter-in-law, this is what she should do!” 

*当牛做马 / dāng niú zuò mǎ
Working hard like a cow or a horse ; working hard like a slave.

Everyone: Why did this sound so strange?

However, Su Pangya’s words successfully reminded everyone, as she said words they had never dared to say.

Liu Ping worked as a laborer in the town, and in order to get more work, he could go home only several times in a year. 

He worked so hard, but how did the Liu family treat his wife and children?

Mrs. Wu did all the work for the entire family alone, she also had to go down to the field to farm during the busy farming season. In contrast, Mrs. He and Old Mrs. Wu were much more relaxed. 

And their children were dressed in rags and looked so skinny and thin, which were far inferior to the second child’s offspring, Niudan.

When Old Mrs. Wu met people, she would tell them how much she cared for Liu Ping, and didn’t show such concern for her own son. 

Yeah, she used her lips to care for people, right? 

She talked a lot and didn’t do even a single thing. This was Old Mrs. Wu! 

In everyone’s hearts, it wasn’t that they couldn’t distinguish the right and wrong. It was similar to the principle of ‘it’s better to demolish a temple than ruin a marriage’, because persuading people to live separately from their main families would result in criticism. 

They didn’t have such strong heads*!

*Strong head : it refers to people’s stubbornness, toughness. 

Liu Shan said in a deep voice, “Su Pangya, this is our Liu family’s problem. It’s not your turn to meddle!” 

No matter what, Liu Shan was a senior. When facing a little bully of the Su family, he would not be so timid. Especially in front of the whole village, he had to save his dignity. 

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care if he showed timidity or not, she didn’t come here to scare people. 

She sneered and said, “Grandpa Liu, this kind of unfilial son, it’s fine to let him live separately!” 

Liu Shan could also see that this girl was here to cause trouble!

Their Su’s family hadn’t been extorting money from anyone for a while. He thought that they had changed their ways, but it turned out that they were still such scoundrels! 

Liu Shan said coldly, “Liu Ping is my son, It will only happen after I die! Otherwise, don’t ever think of living separately from this family!” 

Su Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh and said, “Phew, then I can feel relieved after hearing your words!” 

The villagers were puzzled, what did Su Pangya mean?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Just now you’ve said that Liu Ping is your own son, and unless you die, he shouldn’t ever think of living separately! Since that’s the case, then the debt that Liu Ping owes, you can pay it for him!” 

The villagers stared at each other, just what had happened?

Liu Shan frowned.

Liu Ping was confused as well.

Mrs. Wu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, she really knew Su Pangya’s character well. Although she was not sure what Su Pangya wanted to do, she believed in Su Pangya. 

“Su Pangya, are you trying to blackmail money again?” The one who spoke was Mrs. He, the wife of Liu Shan’s second son. 

Su Xiaoxiao took out a promissory note from her wide sleeve and gently dusted it. Then she showed it to the Liu family and the fellow villagers as well.

“This is a promissory note that was personally signed by Liu Ping himself, with his fingerprint on it! He owes me a total of 30 taels! The interest is 18 taels, for a total of 48 taels! Your Liu family should pay back the money quickly!” 

Liu Ping: “Wha—” 

Mrs. Wu pinched Liu Ping!

As soon as Liu Ping’s words were interrupted, Mrs. Wu hurriedly said, “Didn’t we agree to extend the deadline for a few days?” 

Liu Ping looked at Mrs. Wu as if he had seen a ghost.

Mrs. Wu’s words could be regarded as a disguised verification of Su Pangya’s ‘extortion’. 

That wasn’t right… How could it be called extortion if there was a promissory note! 

Su Xiaoxiao secretly appreciated it, Mrs. Wu did not let her down and could follow her script. 

Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely, “But you also promised to give me some interest in advance! Have you guys paid for it?!”
