Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Just like that, a foot goes down...It’s gone!_1
Su Lao Si hurriedly squeezed his way through the crowd: "Pan’er, what are you staring at? Hurry up and get rid of the dead snake, eh?"
With his back to the crowd, he kept signalling Su Pan’er with his eyes.
Su Pan’er’s lip curled, and she scanned the crowd with a nonchalant face, "Throw it away? This is so much snake meat, if we throw it away, it’s a waste! Absolutely not! Watch me!"
While she was speaking, she directly picked up a small knife, cut off the snake’s head in one stroke, and then made another slit in the snake’s skin. A whole piece of snake’s skin was peeled off by her.
The whole process was like clouds flowing in the wind, leaving the onlookers dazzled.
Goodness!
After the head was removed and the skin was peeled off, the snake meat alone weighed at least twenty catties. Enough for a large family to have a feast at noon!
"Here, we have our lunch! Quickly, bring it to the kitchen!"
Su Pan’er’s face was filled with joy. She stretched out her chubby hand, directly handing the twisting big circle of red snake meat to Su Yue’er. The sight of the wriggling snake meat was simply revolt.
"Ah! Look at the snake meat, it’s still wriggling? Quick, take it away, take it away!"
Su Yue’er, forgetting all about etiquette, screamed!
Just as she was losing her composure, a middle-aged man, with a large head and big belly, lazily glanced at the chaotic scene on the floor with squinting eyes, and cleared his voice.
"What’s the matter? Why is it so chaotic?"
The presence of the man was strong, and the moment he made his appearance, everyone’s face changed. Upon seeing him, Su Yue’er’s face lit up, and she burst into tears, rushing into his arms.
"Father! Yue’er was almost scared to death...sob...sob..."
Su Sikong’s round face trembled as he coldly swept through the crowd, and gently patted his darling daughter’s slim back: "There, there! Don’t cry, Yue’er. Quickly, tell daddy, what there was any kind of injustice! Daddy will make it right."
With her head buried in Su Sikong’s arms, Su Yue’er snuck a glance at Su Pan’er and quickly shook her head, "It has nothing to do with Fourth Younger Cousin Sister, it was...it was all Yue’er’s fault, Yue’er..."
Her sobbing voice once again emerged and the subsequent words were barely audible.
Su Sikong raised his head abruptly, his squinting eyes flashed with a hint of vile air as he scrutinized Su Pan’er, "Yue’er, you’re my good girl, and I will sort out everything for you! Look at your makeup, it’s ruined. Go back to your room, freshen up." He nudged Su Yue’er away.
Su Pan’er only felt as if a knife-like gaze swept over her body, causing a chill to rise from her spine. A sense of caution arose in her heart.
She nonchalantly threw the snake meat into a basin, and discreetly studied the squint-eyed man from the corner of her eye.
This is Su Sikong, the deputy county magistrate in the county city? The very uncle who pushed her original body into a trap to take her place in marriage?
He does indeed look like a corrupt official!
From the first glance, Su Pan’er had no good feelings towards this man.
"No! Yue’er doesn’t want to go."
Su Yue’er clung to Su Sikong’s arms, refusing to get up. The good show had just started, why would she leave?
"All right, all right, if you don’t want to leave, you don’t have to leave! Whatever my darling Yue’er says, goes!"
Su Sikong laughed heartily!
He then patted Su Yue’er’s back twice before releasing her. He turned towards Patriot Su and gave a slight nod, "Father, Sikong was just passing by Luoyan Village for some errands today, remembered that it has been a while since I last visited you. So, I thought I would come home for a visit, join you for a meal and have a chat. What’s going on at home? Why is it so chaotic?" As he spoke, he pointed at the messy room.
Patriach Su’s face flashed a hint of embarrassment. He cleared his throat heavily, "Nothing much! It was just a snake that had got in. It’s been caught."
"What are you all still standing around for?" he ordered after he finished talking. "Hurry up and clean this place, it’s a complete mess!"
Indeed, the ground was chaotic with overturned baskets and trampled vegetable leaves scattered everywhere. There were also unidentifiable stains, making it look like the place had been ransacked by a thief.
At Patriach Su’s roar, Su Xian’er and the others immediately began to clean up the house, with Mrs. Su-Hua hastily joining in to help.
"Oh my! What is this?"
Mrs. Su-Hua suddenly shouted, instantly attracting everyone’s attention. She then picked up something from the corner that was so trampled it was unrecognizable, and held it up to ask everyone.
Su Yue’er panicked subconsciously!
Wasn’t that the Huangjing from before? How did it get trampled like this?
Su Xian’er, who was standing nearby, also recognized it and looked at Su Yue’er but instinctively stepped back two steps without saying a word.
On the other hand, Su Sikong, who was worldly-wise, beckoned with his chubby hand, "Let me have a look."
He squinted his eyes, sniffed it, and examined it carefully – it appears to be...
He hummed and stroked his chin, "Hmm? If I’m not mistaken, this is Huangjing, worth at least a piece of silver! Who’s so blind and foolish to ruin such a good thing? Absolutely outrageous!"
A piece of silver?
Su Xian’er and the others were wide-eyed, unable to believe that such an ordinary looking root could actually be worth a piece of silver!
Thinking of everyone’s earlier disdain for the paper wrapping, they could feel their faces burning.
Su Pan’er glanced over and nonchalantly replied, "Oh, that’s just a piece of Huangjing I casually picked. Yeah! There are a few more in that paper wrap over there." She gestured to the scattered paper wrap with a lick of her lips.
Although she only walked around the outskirts of Deicide Mountain on her previous trip, she did manage to pick a few useful medicinal ingredients and brought them back today.
"This is... this is what you brought back, Pan’er?"
Patriach Su’s eyes lit up!
He instinctively glanced at Qin Yi behind him, feeling a mix of emotions and not knowing how to start speaking.
Qin Yi had stood quietly in the back since Su Sikong appeared, not saying a word.
As for Su Yue’er, he originally thought that being ordered by his parents and the matchmaker’s words, combined with her good looks and knowledge, made her a fitting match for him. But after experiencing Su Pan’er’s substitute marriage and seeing her actions today, he realized his positive feelings for her had completely disappeared and were replaced with a faint disgust.
On the other hand, he felt somewhat fortunate. It was good that the woman who married into his family was the straightforward, comfortable Su Pan’er rather than...
"When I returned home today, there wasn’t much of value in the house. But then I thought this Huangjing is somewhat presentable, so I brought three of them. But this one," Su Pan’er glanced casually at Su Yue’er and the others, "seems to be useless now. Such a pity - this is worth a piece of silver! Just like that... gone!"
She spread out her hands, looking helpless.
This immediately made everyone in the field turn even more pale.
Especially Su Yue’er!
Her pretty face twitched, then instantly resumed its surprised expression.
"Fourth Younger Cousin Sister is really capable! To think that marrying into your mother-in-law’s house would lead to such prosperity, even casually bringing out several pieces of Huangjing like this. You really are different from before."
What’s there to brag about?
This marriage was one she didn’t want in the first place, did she deserve to brag about it?
