Chapter 107: Xie Yuntang Definitely Wouldn’t Fancy Wretched Girl
Su Tao bared her teeth. "She’s lying. She’s fierce."
"Wretched girl, are you asking for a beating?" Lin Sanzhu couldn't help but glare at her.
Seeing the two bickering, Xie Yuntang smiled with his eyes crinkled up, and said softly, "Auntie, it's okay, I'm not afraid."
Lin Sanzhu liked his well-behaved demeanor very much. If only he could be her son-in-law. However, one look at her wretched daughter, and she thought better of it.
Xie Yuntang definitely wouldn’t fancy this wretched girl.
"How well-behaved. Wretched girl, look at Yuntang, and then look at you."
She glanced at the sky and hurriedly said, "I'm going to deliver food to your father. You play with Yuntang."
As Su Fu was a little busy these days, she wanted to help him share some of the burden. Therefore, she told him not to come back to eat, and instead, she would deliver the food to him.
After she left, Su Tao held Su Dou and watched Su Zhi practice his handwriting, while Xie Yuntang was reading a book next to her.
After a while, Su Tao's hands felt a little sore. She handed Su Dou to Xie Yuntang without thinking. "Milksop, you hold him."
Xie Yuntang quickly put down the book, took Su Dou over carefully, and held him in a proper manner. He was already familiar with holding Su Dou.
Su Dou grinned when he saw Xie Yuntang, and Xie Yuntang laughed along with him, coaxing him softly, "Be good, Doudou."
Su Dou giggled out loud, "Hehe..."
"Milksop, it seems that you have the potential to be a good husband in the future. You’ll have to bring your wife to thank me in the future."
Su Tao tsked twice, shook her hands, and hit Su Zhi on the head, saying, "What are you looking at? Write. Look at your terrible handwriting. Even a dog can write better than you."
Hearing the words "good husband", Xie Yuntang felt a little shy, and said softly, "Sister Taozi, don't talk nonsense."
"I’m not talking nonsense, but praising you. I don't praise people normally. Do you see me praising Su Zhi?"
Su Tao blinked her eyes, then looked at Su Zhi with disdain and said, "Su Zhi will never have a wife if he grows up like this. Whoever marries him will be unlucky."
Indeed, Su Zhi couldn’t hold a candle to Milksop.
"Sister, you don't have a wife instead," Su Zhi retorted indignantly.
Although he didn't know what a wife was for, he knew that he would have one when he grew up.
He wouldn’t remain unmarried.
Su Tao rolled her eyes at him. "I don't need to get a wife. Write. If you don't, I'll cut off the hair on your head."
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Sanzhu ran back panting, and then slammed the door shut.
It was as if a ghost was chasing her.
This ghost could only be Mrs. Su-Qian.
Sure enough, as soon as the door was closed, Mrs. Su-Qian's voice rang out. "Lin Sanzhu! Open the door for me!"
Su Zhi was startled, and in the blink of an eye, he ran into the house and hid with pitiful familiarity.
Xie Yuntang quickly covered Su Dou's ears, fearing that the child would be led astray.
Su Tao was fed up with Mrs. Su-Qian. This wretched old woman seemed to be idle every day. "Milksop, don't come out. Just stay here."
She went to the kitchen and brought out half a bucket of dirty water. She took two high stools and climbed up. After she climbed up, she whispered, "Mom, pass the bucket to me."
Lin Sanzhu immediately knew what her wretched daughter wanted to do. After hesitating for a moment, she quickly handed the bucket to Su Tao.
It was none of her business. She didn't know what her daughter did. She didn't know!
Fortunately, Su Tao didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would have poured the water on Lin Sanzhu’s head.
Su Tao leaned on the wall and aimed at Mrs. Su-Qian’s position. She said in an annoying voice, "Hey, wretched old woman, look here!"
Mrs. Su-Qian looked up when she heard the voice. Before she could see who was there, half a bucket of water came down. She was drenched and shivered with cold.
She reached out her hand to wipe the water off her face in a rage. When she looked up and saw who it was, she jumped up in anger. "Su Tao! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Su Tao leaned on the wall and made a face at her. She wasn’t afraid of Mrs. Su-Qian at all. After all, there was a wall between them. "Wretched old woman, come up and beat me. If you don't, you're a coward."
Lin Sanzhu, who was standing below, heard this and her eyes widened. How could a granddaughter call her grandmother a coward? It was simply unfilial.
Then she heard the unfilial Su Tao say, "Wretched old woman, you’ve done so many wicked things. You’ll definitely die a horrible death in the future, and you won’t be able to reincarnate after death."
Mrs. Su-Qian was so angry that she couldn't speak. In the end, she picked up a stone on the ground.
Seeing this, Su Tao squatted down immediately. "Mom, hide quickly." She waved to Lin Sanzhu and signaled her to hide in the corner.
Lin Sanzhu reacted quickly and moved in immediately.
Suddenly, a fist-sized stone smashed in, and made a hole in the ground.
Su Tao took a look. Whoa, she shouldn’t have been so kind as to only splash water. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, bring me the bucket of chicken poop."
She wasn’t stupid. She certainly couldn't throw stones. If the wretched old woman died, she would have to go to jail.
That wasn’t worth it.
However, it would be alright to disgust Mrs. Su-Qian. Lin Sanzhu did whatever her daughter told her to do. She quickly passed Su Tao the bucket of chicken poop. Su Tao moved the stool and then carried the bucket of chicken poop despite feeling like vomiting.
Mrs. Su-Qian at the door was holding a stone and aiming at where Su Tao was standing just now. Su Tao snorted and then poured the content of the bucket down with all her strength.
"Wretched old woman, eat poop, your mouth stinks all day long!"
Mrs. Su-Qian was half soaked. The pungent smell made her bend over and retch. "Su Tao! Ugh...you will die... ugh...horribly...ah!!"
She screamed until her voice turned hoarse, and she sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Su Tao felt much better and laughed smugly. "You deserve it, wretched old woman. Go home. You keep making trouble all day long. Aren't you afraid of dying early?"
The commotion at the Su family's place attracted the attention of the villagers, but this area was remote and few people passed by. Only Mrs. Su-Qian’s occasional scolding could be heard.
Mrs. Su-Qian went to her second son's house to cause trouble again.
What a troublemaker.
They didn't know that Mrs. Su-Qian didn't cause any trouble this time. Instead, it was Su Tao.
Mrs. Su-Qian couldn't stand the smell on her body, so she stood at the door and scolded a few words, then ran away angrily.
Su Tao rolled her eyes at her retreating figure, then got off the stool and quickly threw away the bucket of chicken poop. "Ugh~"
It was so smelly.
"Mom, please get me some water. It stinks."
Lin Sanzhu hurried to the kitchen to get some water, looking a little worried. "You were simply audacious. What will your dad do if he finds out?"
"Just say I'm crazy. You and Dad think I'm crazy anyway." Su Tao washed her hands several times, smelled them, and only stopped washing them when the smell was gone.
Lin Sanzhu, "..."
She said stubbornly, "I didn't tell your dad that you were crazy, wretched girl. You just talk nonsense all day long."
Su Tao wiped her hands, looked at Lin Sanzhu exasperatedly, and said, "Mom, don't be a coward, okay? You still expect me, your daughter, to stand up for you. It sounds embarrassing if people know about it."
Lin Sanzhu, "..."
She touched the tip of her nose, and then said self-righteously, "Have you ever heard of a daughter-in-law beating her mother-in-law?"
Su Tao glared at her and bared her teeth. "Then you can just wait to be beaten to death! No one will collect your body by then!"
If she wasn’t blunt, the Su couple wouldn't listen.
