12: 12 The Lion Yawns Greatly
Luo Yuzhu came to her senses, the damn girl, this was her attitude towards her own mother.
Ever since she had married into the Lin Family, for fear of being gossiped about by the Lin Family, she had deliberately avoided any contact with this daughter.
She was in a second marriage, and to a family like the Lin Family, how could she secure her position as Mrs.
Lin if she wasn’t careful?
Fortunately, after marrying into the Lin Family, she gave birth to a daughter for them, which somewhat solidified her status.
Even so, Xiaofeng was the daughter she had carried for ten months, and this was not the attitude a daughter should have towards her mother.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuzhu raised her hand to strike Xiaofeng across the face.
Su Xiaofeng looked at her opponent, raised one hand to intercept the palm that was about to land, and gazed coldly at her, her voice as icy as her stare, “What’s this, Mrs.
Luo, are you trying to hit someone?”
Luo Yuzhu met Su Xiaofeng’s eyes, and before she could react, recoiled slightly, just as she was about to forcefully retract her hand, Apeng, hearing the noise, came out from the kitchen.
Seeing Su Xiaofeng and Luo Yuzhu as if ready to fight, he quickly pulled Su Xiaofeng behind him, glaring at Luo Yuzhu: “Who are you.”
“Su Xiaofeng.” Luo Yuzhu was genuinely angry: “Get out here, and make it clear, who taught you those words.
These sharp blades, they want to force you to break off your relation with me, they wish!
Not going to happen.”
In Luo Yuzhu’s view, Su Xiaofeng definitely wouldn’t dare to say these things on her own.
There must have been somebody coaching her behind the scenes.
Without even thinking about it, she knew who it was, surely Su Laoguai and He Ximei were the ones.
The daughter was grown up, and they were trying to arrange her marriage, encouraging her to not acknowledge her own mother, pff, what rubbish.
“Luo Yuzhu, I certainly didn’t teach her anything.
After you married and ignored Xiaofeng, she grew up and developed her own ideas, and now she doesn’t want to keep in touch with you,” Hu Xiulan retorted.
“I am her mother; whether she follows me or not is not up to you,” Luo Yuzhu scoffed coldly.
“Su Xiaofeng, no matter who taught you this, you must leave with me today.”
She had come today after promising Lin Jianguo that she would bring Xiaofeng back with her, have Xiaofeng stay a few days in the Lin Family home, and make a splendid marriage from their household.
“Mrs.
Luo, you need to give me a reason to leave this place.
When I begged you to take me back to the Lin Family, you told me to stay out of your sight because you didn’t have an easy time in the Lin Family either,” Su Xiaofeng had no good feelings for Luo Yuzhu, and thus did not plan to treat her with any kindness.
“You are my daughter, and of course, I have the right to take you away.
Besides, your father is a cripple, completely incapable of providing you with a good life.” If it weren’t for Su Laoguai being a cripple, she would have never remarried.
When she first married Su Laoguai, he worked at a state-owned enterprise, had a respectable job and a decent salary.
At the time, it was his job that she found attractive enough to marry him.
Who would have guessed that not long after their marriage, Su Laoguai injured his hand, received a compensation sum from his company, and was then laid off.
Days grew tougher, and Luo Yuzhu couldn’t bear the hardship.
She started to think differently, got involved with a wealthy man.
People always aim high, and water flows low, how was she at fault?
“When I was a minor, you might have had the power to decide where I would stay.
Now that I am an adult, if I want to go with you, I will, and if I don’t want to go with you, then I won’t,” Su Xiaofeng said, finding Luo Yuzhu’s words laughable.
If Luo Yuzhu had come to take the original Su Xiaofeng away a few months earlier, the original host might have been very happy.
Unfortunately, she was not the original Su Xiaofeng.
“What will make you willing to go back with Mom?” Luo Yuzhu, hearing Su Xiaofeng’s words, wondered if Xiaofeng was blaming her for not finding her a job, and her tone softened as she asked.
“I won’t go back with you.” If possible, she only wanted to live in this era on her own, with her child.
“You must go back with me,” Luo Yuzhu said firmly.
“You must return to the Lin Family, the child you must abort, and a marriage you must enter into.
Luo Xiaofeng, don’t tell me any nonsense, you are my daughter, you must listen to me.”
She knew her daughter well, inherited her father’s meekness, but at critical moments could be resolute, leaving no room for her to rebel.
Otherwise, if she cut her some slack, she might think her mother still had to look at her face to decide what to do.
“Luo Yuzhu, Xiaofeng doesn’t want to go back, don’t force her….”
“I’m forcing her?” Luo Yuzhu grabbed Su Xiaofeng’s hand and dragged her outside, just as Hu Xiulan and a few other villagers were coming back from the fields to have breakfast and saw what was happening.
“Oh, isn’t that Yuzhu?
Yuzhu, you’re back, and your Xiaofeng, ah, someone with a black heart and dark intentions made it so that your Xiaofeng can’t show her face anymore.” Hu Xiulan was always one to meddle, and with Luo Yuzhu’s return, she couldn’t help but stir the pot.
“I knew it was her.” Luo Yuzhu dragged Su Xiaofeng along: “Everyone come look, someone’s taught my daughter not to recognize her own mother and even says she wants to sever ties with me, her biological mother.”
“A stepmother is a stepmother, thinking that by severing ties with you, Xiaofeng will devote her heart to her?” Hu Xiulan sneered.
“Usually, that fat woman is alright to Xiaofeng, but whether she has other intentions or not, we have no idea,” Villager A said.
“If there weren’t unsavory intentions, would a stepmother be good to her stepdaughter?” Villager B made a comment, clearly uninvolved yet interested.
“Xiaofeng, you heard that, I’m your mother, I can’t harm you.
But some people might not be the same, come on, go with mum to the county, from now on your mum will make decisions for you.” With support from the villagers, Luo Yuzhu felt even more justified in her stance.
“Xiaofeng,” Old Su looked at Xiaofeng: “If you don’t want to, just forget it.”
“Old Su, shut your mouth.” Luo Yuzhu glared at him: “You’ve bullied my daughter to this point, you have no right to speak.”
Su Xiaofeng let Luo Yuzhu drag her by the arm, her gaze calm: “I don’t mind going back with you, but first, give me twenty thousand yuan.”
“As soon as you return to the Lin Family, not to mention twenty thousand, I’ll give you thirty thousand.” Just asking for twenty thousand right off the bat, as if the Lin Family’s money was blown in by the wind.
“Give it first.”
“Mum didn’t bring that much today.”
“Then we’ll talk when you’ve brought enough.” Su Xiaofeng pulled away from Luo Yuzhu’s grasp: “I’ll be waiting at home for you.”
Everyone: “…”
Twenty thousand yuan?
For them, that was a huge sum of money, enough to build a house or marry four or five brides for an idiot.
Listening to Su Xiaofeng’s words, Luo Yuzhu’s fingers itched to jab her forehead but Su Xiaofeng deftly dodged.
“Luo Yuzhu, Xiaofeng’s demand isn’t excessive.
If she goes back to the Lin Family with you, who knows how they’ll treat her.
Having some money for her personal needs is only right,” He Ximei naturally hoped Xiaofeng would stay; she had watched Xiaofeng grow up and felt a certain reluctance to let her go.
“So you’re indeed good to Xiaofeng.” Luo Yuzhu sneered: “Really think you can swindle a sum of money from me and your family will get rich?”
Pah.
