Luo Yuzhu had not expected her daughter to make such steep demands.

Before coming here, she had thought Xiaofeng would happily return to the Lin Family with her.

After all, she was her biological mother, and Xiaofeng was a part of her.

There was no reason for her not to follow her own mother.

Luo Yuzhu’s assumptions were not wrong—if this had been the original Xiaofeng, she definitely would have happily returned with her.

However, Luo Yuzhu did not know that the current Luo Xiaofeng, though in Su Xiaofeng’s body, was no longer the original Su Xiaofeng, the person without her own opinions.

The Xiaofeng now was from the 21st century, sharing the same name and surname as the original, an independent-minded Su Xiaofeng, a true societal elite.

“Xiaofeng,” Hu Xiulan stood in the courtyard and laughed upon hearing Su Xiaofeng’s demands, “Your mother’s money is your money too.

You want so much money for your father, right?

Well, it’s understandable, since your father can’t do heavy work and doesn’t earn much.

It’s always good to leave him more money.”

Su Xiaofeng disliked the way Hu Xiulan spoke, every word seemed designed to provoke.

She chuckled lightly, “What I need the money for is none of your concern.

If you want me to return to the Lin Family, fine, but first hand over twenty thousand yuan.”

After speaking, Su Xiaofeng didn’t look at Luo Yuzhu again and headed straight back to her room, slamming the door shut with a bang.

The loud slam shocked everyone present.

“Oh my, what’s gotten into Xiaofeng today?

She is so fiery,” Hu Xiulan mocked as she curled her lips.

She had never seen her so formidable before, but today she certainly was.

Luo Yuzhu, staring at the tightly shut door, had a face changing between shades of anger and calm, glaring at Old Su Lame, “Old Su Lame, you encouraged our daughter to ask for money, very impressive.

Just wait, Xiaofeng will definitely come with me.”

It must have been Old Su Lame who taught Xiaofeng something beforehand; otherwise, Xiaofeng wouldn’t have changed so much.

“Xiaofeng is already an adult, she knows what she’s doing.” Old Su Lame felt relieved inside that Su Xiaofeng was unwilling to go with Luo Yuzhu.

If she doesn’t want to go, that’s fine.

It is said that the Lin Family isn’t easy to deal with, and knowing Xiaofeng’s temperament, it’s uncertain whether she would suffer if she actually went back.

Luo Yuzhu failed to take Xiaofeng with her and left with a rather sour expression.

A short distance away, a small car was parked on the yellow mud road, with a driver standing beside it.

Luo Yuzhu twisted her body to squeeze in, and the driver hurriedly got into the car and drove her away.

The villagers watched and clicked their tongues in admiration.

Being a wealthy woman certainly made a difference; even stepping out required a car.

Su Xiaofeng sat in front of a table, toying with a bronze mirror, and even used it to glance at herself.

Ever since arriving here, she had been busy with one thing after another and hadn’t had time to see what the original looked like.

Raising the bronze mirror, a slightly haggard face appeared in the mirror, with a bandage still on her forehead.

The skin beneath the bandage was delicate and white, and her eyes curved beautifully.

In modern terms, she was a girl one would pity at first sight.

However, she preferred a more practical look and felt indifferent toward the original’s loose hair strands, thinking about changing her hairstyle or cutting her hair short someday.

In the village, due to Hu Xiulan’s vocal promotion, everyone criticized Su Xiaofeng’s unreasonable demands toward Luo Yuzhu.

Twenty thousand yuan, He Ximei must be out of her mind with greed, instructing Su Xiaofeng to extort so much money from the Lin Family.

“Su Xiaofeng probably wants to extort more money to keep for her marriage,” someone agreed, “rightly so, given her current situation; she needs someone willing to take her.”

“A woman heavily pregnant, even if she paid my family, I wouldn’t take her,” another added dismissively.

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Gossip surged more wildly through the village, and various ugly words wreaked havoc in the village, quickly spreading to neighboring villages.

He Ximei, because of Su Xiaofeng’s situation, now didn’t want to work the fields anymore.

She couldn’t be bothered with those busybodies, idling all day, always prying into others’ affairs.

…

Lin Family

Lin Jing saw Luo Yuzhu returning alone to the Lin Family and said irritably, “Where is your daughter?

She didn’t come back with you?”

Lin Jing was Lin Jianguo’s eldest daughter with his first wife.

She had just turned eighteen this year, had an oval face, and wore lipstick, her bright red lips clashing with her otherwise innocent-looking face. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

“She felt a bit unwell today.

I’ll go pick her up in a couple of days,” Luo Yuzhu replied with a smile.

“Hmph, I gave up such a good match for her, and she’s still putting on airs, ungrateful,” Lin Jing pouted, visibly upset.

“She was so happy when she heard about that good marriage prospect.

It’s just that she fell and got injured yesterday, which made it inconvenient.

Don’t worry, as soon as she’s a bit better, I’ll bring her over,” Luo Yuzhu replied soothingly, nowhere near her earlier assertiveness.

“We agreed to let her marry out from the Lin Family, but we didn’t agree to let her put on airs,” an old lady came out from the inner room.

She was wearing a dacron shirt, her hair done up, around sixty years old.

“Mom, she’s just happy, even if she hit her head,” Luo Yuzhu remembered that Xiaofeng had indeed been injured.

At the time, she had been so eager to bring Xiaofeng back with her that she hadn’t asked for details.

“The Wu Family is a big household in our county.

Frankly speaking, your daughter, a country girl, getting to marry a rich man and having a life of luxury, we should really be thanking Jingjing for that,” the Lin matriarch glanced at Lin Jing, “Xiaojing, come, go with grandma to the city.”

Before leaving, she glanced at Luo Yuzhu, “The Wu Family said they must have the person delivered in three days.

When you’ll bring her back is for you to decide.

To put it bluntly, if the marriage with the Wu Family falls through, you might as well leave the Lin Family.”

Having married into the Lin Family for so many years without bearing a son, she really was useless.

“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll make another trip tomorrow and bring Xiaofeng to the city to see a doctor,” Luo Yuzhu watched the two leave and rubbed her temples before returning to her room.

She cursed Su Xiaofeng no less than ten times in her heart.

That damn girl, really growing some nerve, learning to defy her own mother.

The nerve to ask for twenty thousand, might as well rob someone.

Right now, twenty thousand is a small amount.

Xiaofeng was pregnant, and the Wu Family was anxious for a person.

If the Wu Family were to find out Xiaofeng had been pregnant, they would definitely be furious.

If the Wu Family places the blame, the mother-in-law will surely push all the responsibility onto her, then drive her out of the Lin Family.

In reality, the man Xiaofeng was to marry was not some old rich man, but the Wu Family’s eldest son.

The Wu Family eldest son was just over twenty, engaged to Lin Jing.

Had he not gotten stricken with a strange disease, Lin Jing would definitely have married him.

The Wu Family eldest son had contracted some strange disease, rumored to be leprosy, but who knows?

The Wu Family also agreed to let Xiaofeng replace Lin Jing in marriage, without holding a wedding or a banquet, just sending her over would suffice.

The Wu Family urgently needed someone, and Xiaofeng was unwilling to follow her, leaving Luo Yuzhu at her wits’ end.
