While that may be said, Su Pan didn’t have the courage.
The long-standing oppression made her incapable of any rebellious thoughts against her mother and elder brother.
To dare lay a hand on her brother and mother, unless she had a death wish.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have such concerns and pushed the person forward imdiately: "Auntie, trafficking people is illegal."
"Trafficking? You damned girl, spewing nonsense as soon as you open your mouth, I’m just finding a good match for my daughter. How is that trafficking?"
"Even if it’s your daughter, anything against a woman’s will is a cri, and it’s penalized by law."
Su Xiaoxiao threw a heavy accusation, leaving Zhang Guifang montarily dumbfounded.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I gave birth to her, of course, what I say goes, even if I tell her to die, it’s rightful!"
Zhang Guifang hesitated for a second, then continued justifying herself.
What could a rural girl like Su Xiaoxiao know? Surely she was just bluffing her.
"Auntie, if you don’t believe , you can go ask the police right now. See if I’m lying to you."
Zhang Guifang hesitated, for Su Xiaoxiao worked at the city departnt store and might actually know sothing.
But she imdiately regained her composure, reasoning that as long as Su Pan was willing, it wasn’t against her will.
"Why would I ask? Pan herself agrees; if it weren’t for you all stopping, the engagent would have been arranged by now."
Zhang Guifang was self-righteous, secretly glaring at Su Pan: "Tell your aunt and cousin if this marriage is your own wish?"
eting her gaze, Su Pan shivered. Every ti her mother looked at her like this, she knew a beating would follow if she dared to resist.
Ingrained fear made her cold all over, but then a hand held hers, the warmth in the palm gave her a montary daze.
Su Xiaoxiao squeezed her hand as she spoke: "This is sothing for your lifeti, if you want to refuse, then refuse. She gave birth to you, but it doesn’t an you owe her forever."
"Damned girl, I’m asking you sothing, are you deaf?"
Zhang Guifang spoke impatiently.
Su Pan was startled by the shout, her body shivered, but the warmth in her palm quickly cald her down: "I don’t want to."
"You damned girl, what are you saying?"
It was the first ti Xu Zhaodi had been defied like this since growing up.
She rushed forward in a few steps, grabbing Su Pan’s hair with a raised hand, but before it fell, there was a small popping sound, like a circuit malfunction.
Before she could react to what it was, a tingling sensation spread from her waist through her whole body, and the next mont, she fell to the ground convulsing uncontrollably.
She stared at Su Pan in disbelief: "You... you..."
Almost unable to believe the child she looked down upon the most dared to lay hands on her.
Su Pan herself was sowhat in shock, she blinked hard, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Cousin... cousin... this... what is this..."
Su Xiaoxiao had her hand open the switch, and everything happened in a flash, yet the instigator smiled innocently: "How was it? Not as scary as you thought, right?"
Then she looked at Su Zhiqiang nearby: "Alright, this ti you try it yourself, rember, the only one who can help you is yourself."
Su Zhiqiang, seeing his mother on the ground, was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses, rushing angrily towards Su Pan, lifting his foot to kick.
This damned girl really dared fight back!
What angered him wasn’t his mother being hit, but that this girl, who had been ek like a servant since childhood, dared to defy them.
Daring not only to escape the marriage but also to physically resist!
A complete rebellion.
Su Pan instinctively raised her hand to shield, but her small, weak fra was like a chick against the towering Su Zhiqiang, with little strength to resist.
Suddenly a sharp pain ca from her abdon, she curled up on the ground holding her belly, yet Su Zhiqiang, unsatisfied, lifted his foot planning to kick again.
Curled up, Su Pan suddenly recalled Su Xiaoxiao’s words.
"The only one who can help you is yourself."
She clenched what was in her hand, and as Su Zhiqiang’s foot was about to hit, she suddenly stood up, knocked him to the ground, and flipped the switch.
Soon, Su Zhiqiang was convulsing, staring furiously at the disheveled Su Pan in front of him.
He couldn’t comprehend how this small timid girl, usually as ek as a rabbit in front of him, could one day show her fangs.
"Oh my, what happened to auntie and cousin? Mom, we should hurry and take them to the barefoot doctor, lest they die at ho and bring bad luck."
Zhang Guifang, still feeling the tingling fading, having heard this line almost passed out from anger.
This damned girl, what is she saying? Isn’t this cursing them to die?
"Bull... bullsh*t!"
Zhang Guifang mustered her strength into an angry roar, startling everyone.
Su Xiaoxiao exclaid with delight: "Great, auntie is alive!"
Zhang Guifang: "..."
Su Zhiqiang shook in rage: "You... you all..."
"Great, now while they still breathe, quickly pack them up to go ho. Neighbors bear witness, they fell themselves, it’s not our fault."
After saying this, Su Xiaoxiao turned to everyone else: "Could you all lend a hand and help carry them ho?"
Su Xiaoxiao, having good rapport usually, soon saw a group of aunts quickly co over to help carry the two away.
Before being taken out, Su Zhiqiang trembled, pointing a finger: "You... just you wait!"
Only one word out and he saw Su Xiaoxiao showing him a finger: "Cousin, impressive! Even like this, you’re still tough, truly an example of perseverance!"
Su Jianwu noted her gesture curiously: "Third sister, what does showing the middle finger an?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied instantly: "Of course, it’s a complint to cousin’s toughness."
Su Jianwu nodded thoughtfully, showing a middle finger to her: "Third sister, in my mind, you’re the best."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
This is like lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot!
She was speechless: "This gesture, better not use it on others easily, it might lead to trouble."
Su Jianwu puzzled: "Why?"
"Not everyone knows the true aning of this gesture. If soone misunderstands, won’t that be bad?"
She blatantly lied with open eyes.
Su Jianwu nodded, half-understanding: "I get it, third sister."
He then turned to Su Pan nearby, full of admiration: "Cousin, how did you manage to take down cousin and auntie so quickly? That’s amazing! Can you teach ?"
