Chapter 33: It's Them

Soon he got another red envelope, and occasionally, when the other person's face was flushed and their mind not very clear, he could take an extra one, making it three in total!

【Now that I think about it, I'm still young, I could get two red envelopes, the face really doesn't matter!】

"Our Xiao Yu also has a photographic memory; anyone she has seen, she remembers."

Su Yu proudly puffed out her chest.

"Right!"

【Mom was right, it was me!】

"She is really welcomed by the elders!"

"Yes!"

Su Yu shook her head.

【My charm is just that big! I was the prettiest kid in the neighborhood back then, I wonder if they missed me?】

"They usually love to feed her!"

"Exactly!"

【The kind where saying no doesn't work!】

Su Yu's mouth corner rose wildly.

"I don't know why they like her so much?"

"Of course because I taught them how to play on phones!"

Su Yu finished speaking, and the freshly lifted lips trembled.

Ji Yan smiled and took a sip of plain water, thinking to herself, finally got it out.

"So your partners were them all along~"

【Mom, how could you twist my words!】

Su Yu pretended not to hear Ji Yan's words, took two forks and speared a strawberry each for the two adults.

"Mom, great-grandma, have some fruit~"

Ji Yan and Yang Zhichun didn't argue with Su Yu about it. Under Su Yu's attentive service, the two finished a plate of fruit together with her.

【Oh yo, just finished! Hehe, we're eating here, later we have to watch TV, while my dad is just lying there doing nothing, kinda pitiful!】

Su Yi: You keep saying I'm pitiful, why say it out loud?

Su Yi burst into tears, Su Yi became autistic three times, but couldn't recover. Thinking of the vastly different pocket money, he remembered to ask Grandma, wasn't there a Paternity Test, is he not biological?

Why is his pocket money so little?

He demands it be restored!

……

"Uncle, you're back?"

Su Yu heard the footsteps, shifted her gaze from the TV, and looked at the weary Su Xi with curiosity on her face.

【Working overtime feels that bad?】

"Hmm, you all look at the documents first."

Yang Zhichun and Ji Yan each got a copy, but Su Yu didn't.

【Uncle, do you look down on me?】

Seeing she had no copy, Su Yu decisively climbed onto Mom's lap to look at the documents.

Ji Yan glanced roughly at the contents, which Su Yu could read, and spread the papers so Su Yu could see clearly.

【I was wondering what it was? Turns out it's about great-grandma's sister-in-law; speaking of that, system, what cards did I pull in my hundred draws?】

【Should I read it to you or will you read it later? You haven't checked in today.】

【Then read it when you check in.】

Su Yu refocused on the files. She read quickly and spotted the key points.

【Fortunately great-grandma's older brother died early; otherwise she might have been harmed by them.】

Su Xi thought the same. Luckily he died early, but, "Didn't you say last time that I slandered you?"

Su Yu looked up, a bit confused, "What?"

"Your great-uncle really died of anger because of you."

Su Yu flared up, "I've never met him! How could I anger him?"

【What a guy, I'm so wronged! I even got a meeting red envelope when we met, but without meeting, without getting the money, I got framed, I'm truly more wronged than Dou E!】

"Your great-uncle kept wanting grandma or me to adopt a child from the Yang family to inherit the Su Clan. In our generation, my brother and I didn't study business, while their family all studied business-related majors. My brother had an accident then, and I was also not in good condition."

Just after handling father's funeral and returning home, I faced a chain of car accidents, then was notified that Su Yi might never wake up, and Su Xi almost went mad.

He didn't go mad because Grandma was still alive; the money he had wasn't enough to cover his brother's exorbitant medical costs, so he had to earn money.

"Later I took over the Su Clan, legitimate and proper. Your great-uncle then let me marry, either a daughter from their family or adopt their great-grandson as a son-in-law."

"???"

【This isn't ancient times, how could one marry a close relative? Crazy, right?】

"All these years, he kept using this elder status to go to the Su Clan Group's gate, bringing children to persuade me, under the pretense of caring for me."

And each time he brought a crowd of media, trying to force him to nod.

At first the media cared, later everyone thought it was meaningless. Seeing no one cared, he stopped coming and only called every few days.

"I directly announced you as the heir, the outside world spread rumors that you're my biological daughter, and after seeing the news, he couldn't handle it and died of anger."

【Ah this, then this can't be blamed on me, I'm also pitied, can't just not go home to please him?】

Yang Zhichun tapped Su Xi, "You should say he died of anger because he couldn't get the Su Clan."

"Right! Right! Right!"

That's right, great-grandmother is far smarter than elder uncle; that's the fundamental reason, not that I was angry to death!

Su Xi shut up.

Since this little one returned, how many times has he been beaten?

Su Yu finished reading the material, yet she couldn't find any reason why they were so firmly convinced that the Su Clan had a share of the Yang family.

"Great-grandmother, why do they all say that the Su Clan rose thanks to the Yang family's assets?"

Su Yu saw that almost every member of the Yang family said it that way.

Su Yu didn't understand; it seems the story never mentioned it!

"My dowry and I are exactly those things they speak of."

"???!!!"

Su Yu and Ji Yan looked at Yang Zhichun in shock.

"Back then, your great-grandfather's family set their sights on me, paid a high price to take me as a wife. They gave the appropriate betrothal gifts and asked me to bring back some items; that's what they call taking things to the Su Family.

Those were originally the betrothal gifts the Su Family gave me!

Even the Yang family didn't give me a single cent of dowry. Everything was what the Su Family insisted I bring. At that time, if the Su Family hadn't come to inspect, they would have tried to swap the good items the Su Family sent for inferior junk."

If it weren't for the fact that, a few years ago, the country's demand for filial piety was still very high and not, as it is now, viewed dialectically between parents and children, she would have already cut ties with the Yang family.

"I married into the Su Family; your great-grandfather's family treated me well. After the policy shift, I started doing business. The Su Family grew more prosperous while the Yang Family declined, and they thought of that sum of money. They stubbornly claim that the Su Family has a share of the Yang Family.

Back then it wasn't like today. If anyone dared to cut ties with their parents, people around could drown them with a spray of spit. The mindset then was that if the parents hadn't married Yang Zhichun into the Su Family and given her a dowry, where would Yang Zhichun have gotten so much money to run a business?

In that era, most people thought it proper for a daughter to support her natal home, whether she was from another family or one's own. A daughter‑in‑law supporting her natal home was considered damned.

"They often came to our shop and factory to cause trouble. Later I used legal means and only paid the portion that was due. Every time I gave money, it was delivered to their doorstep with drums and gongs. If they caused trouble again, I called the police; they would just scold me."

But the Yang family still didn't give up.

"It's just that in recent years, the country's media hasn't emphasized filial piety and family entanglements, so they can't bring it up. In the past they made a huge profit by selling information about me."

Otherwise, where would they get the money to send so many grandchildren to university?

Even after going to university they were all useless, each worse than the last. She directly ordered that Su Clan Group not hire anyone with the surname Yang or anyone connected to that family. They were furious and could do nothing about her.

"These items, my in‑laws helped me preserve evidence, and I kept some myself. Before my parents died they tried to frame me, wanting to make it look like I caused their deaths. Their son and daughter‑in‑law are also of the same lineage.

They won't let her go even in death.

"It's all over. Has the police station taken care of it?"

"Yes, an announcement will be issued soon."

When the police interrogated yesterday, they thought it was just a family dispute, but after digging deeper, there was actually a murder case!

The mastermind was still that old lady who was pushed out by the grandson!

"What about that old guy? Is he dead?"

【Bleeding so much, can't be dead?】
