Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Not Even Innocent Children are Spared
Furthermore
Facing Qifen’s family private matters, Su Yu understood that this was more complex than just seeing a doctor, so she hesitantly replied, “About this, I really don’t have a good idea.”
As soon as Qifen heard this, she urgently pleaded, “Oh my dear sister, you’re so smart and knowledgeable, you must have a way. Please help your aunt this ti, I beg you.”
Seeing Su Yu’s troubled expression, she quickly added, “Even if you haven’t thought of anything now, it’s okay, just tell when you do…”
Fearing that her urgency might displease Su Yu, Qifen quickly changed her tone.
Su Yu had intended to gently refuse, but as the words reached her lips, seeing Qifen’s earnest expression, she found it hard to be unfeeling.
“I…”
Qifen seed to see through Su Yu’s thoughts and quickly reassured her, “Sister, rest assured, if you help your aunt this ti, I’ll rember this favor for a lifeti. I’ll take care of the fence around your vegetable garden, and I’ll handle all the manual labor like weeding and pest control to keep your garden neat and tidy, what do you say?”
With these words, Su Yu felt a flicker of hesitation in her heart.
Although farming wasn’t difficult, she really didn’t enjoy the process, so having soone willing to help was more than welco.
Looking into Qifen’s hopeful eyes, and considering the tempting offer, Su Yu finally nodded, agreeing to help.
“Actually, solving this issue isn’t too difficult…”
Su Yu began slowly, appearing confident.
Upon hearing this, a smile burst across Qifen’s face, and she excitedly slapped her thigh, “I knew you had a solution! Ah, you’re always so considerate, truly our family’s little clever ghost.”
Su Yu smiled awkwardly, leaned close to Qifen’s ear, and whispered a few pieces of advice like secret tips.
After listening, Qifen’s expression was complex, “Doing this… after all, he is the mainstay of our family. By doing so, wouldn’t it make him lose face in public?”
Su Yu rolled her eyes helplessly, her tone reproachful yet caring, “Aunt Wang, this isn’t your problem, why worry so much? You work hard for his health, yet he still complains; a person like that needs to taste so ‘hardship’ occasionally. You can’t always indulge him.”
“But what if he gets angry and wants to divorce ?”
Qifen’s face was clouded with worry.
Listening to this, Su Yu felt both frustrated and amused. How could Aunt Wang be so stubborn? She half-jokingly and half-seriously said, “Aunt Wang, you’re thinking too much. If he wants to divorce over such a trivial matter, then such a man is not worth keeping! Divorce? He dares to suggest it? It’s only because your nature is gentle, like the soft rain of spring, quietly bearing his tempestuous temper. With soone of a fiercer heart, perhaps they would have already ended this marriage and walked towards freedom without looking back. Furthermore, if he still refuses to see reason, why not suggest a trial separation to see his response? Then, he might be too busy trying to win you back to even think of laying a hand on you.”
Su Yu’s words were like a beam of warm sunlight piercing through the clouds, illuminating the shadows within Qifen’s heart.
Indeed, for many years, she had been like a resilient grass, silently nestling beside ng Yuanyou, the not-so-mighty tree, regardless of the wild storms, never uttering a word of complaint.
Now, just because she longed for a fruit of love, should she mortgage her lifeti of happiness to such an uncertain future? Her body was healthy, her mind resolute; why should she be swayed by a man who did not know how to cherish?
“Alright! I’ll do as you say!”
“That’s the spirit, looking forward to your good news. And about my little vegetable garden, I guess you’ll be quite busy.”
Su Yu said with a smile, her eyes shining with encouragent.
Qifen patted her chest, her voice full of resolve: “You can count on your aunt to handle it!”
“Thank you for that.”
Su Yu walked briskly along the country lane, holding Xixi’s little hand, humming a cheerful tune.
The air seed perated with a scent of rebirth; everything appeared to be heading in a good direction.
Not far away, the laughing of children ca in waves, innocent and carefree.
Su Yu glanced down at Xixi beside her, inwardly guessing the commotion might attract the little one’s attention.
Upon closer look, they saw several children, each holding a crisp flatbread, ford in a circle with Jiang Youfu lying in the middle.
At this mont, he resembled a dog wagging its tail, begging for rcy.
“Imitate it a few more tis, let’s hear!”
A child mischievously suggested.
Jiang Youfu, without a word, imdiately crawled forward and barked twice towards the child, his eyes conveying helplessness and appeasent.
The child laughed giddily, casually tore a piece of the flatbread, and threw it on the ground. Jiang Youfu, as if discovering a treasure, hurriedly picked it up with a foolish grin on his face, a sight that made the surrounding children burst into laughter.
Witnessing all this, Su Yu’s heart was a mix of emotions, reflecting on the complex and unpredictable nature of humanity.
How could children of such a young age invent such a cruel and childish form of mockery? Was it a minor rebellion against authority, or cruelty born of innocence?
Then, a child’s accusation broke Su Yu’s contemplation, “He’s really stupid, hmm, he always bullied , kicking every ti we t, hurting until I cried.”
“ too, he twisted my ear, I still rember the pain.”
“When he snatched my candied haw, I cried until my throat was hoarse.”
“My flatbread, a big piece, he just snatched it, I didn’t dare to say a word.”
“The worst was when he urinated by the wall, saw walking by, and deliberately splashed it on , the sha and disgust, I can’t forget it to this day!”
The children eagerly exposed Jiang Youfu’s past misdeeds, their words filled with long-suppressed resentnt and dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Su Yu was shocked yet sank deeper into thought.
She had known of Jiang Youfu’s poor character but had not imagined he would be so vile, not even sparing innocent children.
At that mont, she realized her judgnt was too arbitrary, overlooking the other facets of human nature.
Although the children’s thod of revenge seed immature and excessive, the next scene once again made Su Yu question her earlier emotional judgnt.
One of the children suddenly raised his arm and shouted, “Brothers, today is our day of vengeance! Whatever he did to us, we’ll do the sa to him!” Having said that, he unexpectedly unbuckled his belt and sprayed hot urine onto the helpless face of Jiang Youfu.
The other children, after initial shock, began to imitate him, turning the scene into sothing both grotesque and unbelievable.
Su Yu stood to the side, her heart churning with complex emotions.
