Chapter 316 - [Bonus ] How Should I Kill You And Your Family ?

On one side Su Wan was drowning in utter bliss while on the other side a storm was brewing. The Su family who went to a wedding of their relative in the next village, never expected for a devil to be waiting for them at their village, if they knew they would have stayed behind at their relative house for a little longer! 

Not that the relative would have let them stay behind but they could at least try, right? As to why that relative wouldn't let them stay behind - The Su family hardly ever went to their relative's house whether it was a wedding or funeral, it wasn't just the matter of them being selfish but more of a fact that they looked down on their relatives.  And why won't they? They owned more than twenty mu of farming land with five mu of rice paddies, they could be considered as a landlord of their village. 

However, after Su Wan took away her mother's dowry after her marriage, things became difficult for the Su family. Before Su Wan got married, both Su Lan and Madam Su acted their parts, they pretended to be filial and hard-working, whenever Su Wan finished preparing the meal, Chu Yanyu would take the credit and say that it was her who made the meal while Su Wan was lazying around in the kitchen. 

The same could be said for Su Lan, though Chu Yanyu treated Su Lan really well, Grandma Su was completely patriarchal. She wouldn't let Su Lan lazy around and would ask her to go to the farming fields and help Su Wan, saying that when Su Lan gets married it will be difficult for them to find a match because she is too lazy. However, Su Lan was aiming for a rich heir in the city after her brother became an official.  So how can she agree to work in the fields? So she would usually pass the job on Su Wan, dumping all the responsibility on her half-sister before rushing out to play with her friends. 

These flaws never came out in the light when Su Wan was there but when she got married, Chu Yanyu and Su Lan's flaws came into full light.  Though Chu Yanyu worked hard when she was at her maternal home, she never worked at the Su house and after she gave birth to Su Yu Cheng, she didn't need to work anymore both Su Bai and Grandma Su treated her well.

But without Su Wan the job of cooking fell on Chu Yanyu, her cooking was mediocre, to begin with, and with years of being out of practice, her cooking became totally unpalatable. 

And the job of farming in the fields also fell on Su Bai, Su Lan and Chu Yanyu but the three never did farm work and the fields couldn't be harvested before the first snow. Once the snow fell on the wheat, it soiled the entire crop making it impossible for them to sell it in the market. And this was how the Su family met their first great loss of the year, after that, it was like someone broke the already tumbling jar, and things became more and more difficult for them. 

They only had little savings because they were used to a lavish lifestyle and with Su Yu Cheng's fees and studying expenses, The Su family lost more and more money, to the point where they had to let go of many of their long time workers and degrade the quality of their three meals. In the past, they ate meat in every meal but now they could only eat meat once in a while and even then they couldn't eat their fill. The only one who could fill his stomach was Su Yu Cheng as he was the only one studying at home and needed to maintain his health for that. 

In such a condition they received the wedding invitation from one of their relatives, Su Bai and his family would have ignored this invitation in the past but now the thought of eating meat, overpowered their arrogance and they left for the village where their relative lived. 

At the wedding, they ate and drank their fill but never took out any money to give as the wedding gift. This made their relative really angry, their family was poor, to begin with, and they invited the Su family to help them with managing the expenses of the wedding but instead, they made their expenses double! How can the relatives be not angry? However, they still didn't say anything and let the Su family do whatever they wanted.

Su Bai wanted to stay behind and enjoy a few of extra meals but then his sister in law started to make snide remarks about their family. Su Bai was an arrogant man, he couldn't withstand such remarks and immediately left his cousin's house in a huff but now he wished he didn't! 

" Welcome, brother in law, welcome," said Shen Junxi with a cold sneer " you seem to be having fun, funny how it happens right? Before marrying my sister you and your family were having a hard time even earning a single decent meal and just a few years later you are the richest man in the village while my sister is nothing but worm food, alas faith is really something, isn't it ?" 

" y.yea," Su Bai asked while trembling as he retreated a couple of steps, he knew what he had done and Shen Junxi seemed to know as well, even though Shen Shui died a natural death, it couldn't be denied that in her death, he and his mother played a really vital role! So whenever he faced Shen Junxi this terrible brother of Shen Shui, Su Bai couldn't help but feel as if he lost a few layers of his skin. 

" oh, why are you retreating back? Are you scared brother in law? No, how can that be - weren't you a decent, gentleman? How can you do something wrong? " said Shen Junxi his voice so low and threatening that it spread a chill in the surrounding, making the Su family bundle up together in a group " oh maybe it's something to do with my Wan Wan getting married right? Can you tell me brother in law why is it, that when my niece, the only biological child of my sister got married you didn't send a single word of it to me? Or my brothers? Shouldn't I as her uncle be invited? Mmm?"

" Brother Shen it's....it's like this... No, the thing is - gack"  Su Bai who was still thinking about an excuse choked when Shen Junxi wrapped his hand around his throat and lifted him up making Su Bai suffocate. 

" no !"

"Let go of my son-"

"Father"

Shen Junxi ignored the bumbling Su family and dangerously whispered " you cheated on my sister I couldn't do anything because you brainwashed my sister into believing you....my sister who was healthy and hearty died in your house in mysterious conditions yet I didn't do anything because you promised to give Wan Wan the love she deserved...begging to let me give you a chance, I didn't want to but you said  that Su Wan was your daughter and I could never give her the love of a father, that's how you preserved your life. ..... to think that you would practically sell that girl to whom you owed a life-saving grace, tell me Su Bai how exactly should I kill you and your entire family now hmm?"
