1017 Let Bygones Be Bygones
“Su Yang, if you already know that Qiao Yu had such formidable relatives, why haven’t you said anything earlier?” Old Madam Fan reprimanded him.
“She kept telling me that she was trying to contact them, but she didn’t say when. Every time I mentioned this issue, she would get angry and fight with me. Mom, is what they say true? Did my brother really do those things?” Su Yang asked with a troubled expression.
He did not expect Qiao Yu to become someone else’s woman in those few days that he was locked up! He was even made a “cuckold” by his own older brother. This was something that no one could accept.
However, Qiao Yu’s relative was very capable and lived nearby. Since she could manage to get Su Liang to be sentenced to 20 years in prison, she must be a very capable person. Su Yang thought that if he could latch onto this relationship, he would not have to worry about his future.
So what if he was “cuckolded”? Even if Qiao Yu became pregnant with Su Liang’s child, at least the child was still part of the Su family. By the time Su Liang was released from prison, he would be an old man and no one would care about him.
“It’s probably true. Didn’t you hear what they said outside?” Old Madam Fan said.
“Mom, I want to go and look for Qiao Yu. After all, she’s now the Su family’s daughter-in-law. It doesn’t matter whose wife she is. As long as I marry her, we’ll become related to her relatives. Perhaps we can even get back the house we used to live in! This Qiao Mei is the woman who bought that house,” Su Yang said agitatedly.
Old Madam Fan looked up and asked, “Are you serious about it? Are you sure that the girl is willing to be with you?”
“She’s already part of our Su family! She’s no longer a virgin! How can she still be picky! It shouldn’t matter who she marries as long as she marries one of us. It’s not any different being my wife,” Su Yang said disdainfully.
After pondering for a while, Old Madam Fan also felt that what Su Yang said made sense. If this relative could find a good job for Su Yang, it would turn out to be a wonderful thing for them. Then, they would be able to repay the money they owed Su Li.
Qiao Yu rushed back to the room which was rented from the salvager and packed everything that she could carry. She took everything that had some value.
As for the rest of the things… they could be considered trash that could be salvaged. She decided to sell them to the landlord.
“Is anyone there! Is anyone home!” Qiao Yu came to the landlord’s door and knocked hard on it.
“What is it! What is it! I’m not deaf, there’s no need to shout so loudly.” When the landlord saw that it was Qiao Yu, he could not be bothered with her. His attitude was completely different from when he dealt with the Su brothers.
“I’m not staying here anymore. See if you want anything that’s left in the room. I’ll sell them to you,” Qiao Yu said.
The landlord looked at Qiao Yu in shock. This woman was really shameless. Everything in the room belonged to him, even the clothes that she was wearing. Now that she was leaving, she still wanted to sell his things back to him. He really did not know if he should say that Qiao Yu was smart or that she was utterly shameless.
“No! If you want to move away, then get lost quickly! Don’t come here to bother me,” the landlord said impatiently.
“Why not! You haven’t even looked at the things and you already say you don’t want them! You must take over the things today! Otherwise, I won’t leave!” Qiao Yu said.
“Are you threatening me? You’re the one begging me to take all the junk now, not the other way round! I won’t give you a single cent. Just get lost. Don’t bother me here!” The landlord was about to close the door when Qiao Yu hurriedly grabbed it to stop him from going back into his room.
After thinking hard about it, Qiao Yu had no choice but to threaten the landlord. “Let me tell you! If you don’t take over these things today! I’ll ask Su Yang to come and talk to you!”
Even if Su Liang had gone to jail and Su Yang had lost his job, if one was in a desperate situation, one would be willing to do anything. Moreover, Qiao Yu could be considered Su Liang’s woman now. If Su Yang wanted to stand up for her or if Qiao Yu’s relative decided to help her, it would not be difficult for them to get rid of the small recycling center the salvager worked at.
“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll give you five dollars. Just leave those things here!” the landlord said to Qiao Yu without even looking at what was left in the room.
“Five dollars! Do you think you’re dismissing a beggar! Those things are worth at least 10 dollars!” Qiao Yu said.
He would only pay three dollars to buy a solid wooden cabinet nowadays, so how could those things in the room be worth 10 dollars? Qiao Yu might as well just rob him!
