Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside
Chapter 113 I’ll give her a lesson right now.

Chapter 113: 113 I’ll give her a lesson right now.

Although Su Xiaofeng knew Ma Donghua loved to take petty advantages, she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth corner when she heard her words.

She had seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as Ma Donghua.

She had given her the red envelope, she didn’t keep it safe, and then she came back to make a fuss.

It’s like going to a store, buying something, walking out, and then dropping it by accident and blaming the store for selling it to you.

There’s no logic in that.

"The red envelope that day, I saw it. You gave six hundred sixty-six to Uncle Three’s family, but when it came to our house, it was only one hundred sixty-six. Sister-in-law, though Guisheng was adopted by another family, we are still relatives. You shouldn’t do things like this." Her losing the red envelope was true, and it was also true that a few of the bills were no longer usable.

Whoever gives the red envelope should make up for it.

"Look, Donghua," He Ximei said, getting irritated, "You must have money on your mind, not taking good care of your own money and now blaming us. Whether it’s Uncle Three’s family or yours, it’s the same amount. Your own money is unusable, and you expect us to compensate. There’s no reason for that."

Before they gave the red envelopes, they were unreasonable. Now that the ceremonies were complete, there was no place where they were unreasonable.

"Anyways, I don’t care." Ma Donghua shamelessly reached new heights, "If you don’t give this red envelope, if later our family has bad luck, I’ll blame it on you."

"Listen to what Auntie is saying," Xiaofeng said with a light smile, "It’s just about topping up a red envelope, not a big deal. I’ll add to it now."

He Ximei couldn’t figure out what Xiaofeng was doing. Seeing her heading back inside, she hurriedly followed, "Xiaofeng, don’t be foolish, she’s clearly taking us for fools. We gave the red envelope, if she makes a fuss now, it’s on her."

Moreover, six hundred sixty-six isn’t a small amount. Look at how much Su Xiaotao’s dowry was, just nine hundred.

"Auntie, if she wants a red envelope; I’ll just top it up, but however much I put in, it’s just a token of my goodwill, right?" Xiaofeng said, winking playfully.

"If you ask me, I wouldn’t give her a single cent, why should I? It’s never enough for them, right?"

"Auntie, you better call a few villagers over." That day, when Ma Donghua lost the red envelope, everyone saw it, and when the red envelope was picked up, a few villagers were there too.

"Alright," He Ximei laughed, "I’m on it."

Seeing He Ximei leaving, Ma Donghua was indifferent, simply entering the house and sitting on a bamboo chair, waiting for Xiaofeng to come out.

He Ximei called a few villagers to their house.

Seeing these people coming, Ma Donghua’s face changed.

Xiaofeng came out of the house with a red envelope in her hand. Seeing the villagers, she said with a smile, "My aunt said she lost the red envelope, which was somewhat unlucky. I’m going to repackage a new one for her."

The villagers had laughed quite a bit about Ma Donghua losing the red envelope, and now seeing Xiaofeng behaving so sensibly, they all nodded, "Just restoring the red envelope is fine, put in a symbolic amount of money. The red envelope is the main thing, money is just a trivial matter."

Facing such a situation, her willingness to make up for it showed she was sensible.

She herself lost the money, who could she blame?

"Exactly, that’s the way to put it." A few of the villagers, who usually gossiped the most, were there when Ma Donghua lost her red envelope, and they probably knew about how much money was in it.

"Auntie," Xiaofeng handed the red envelope to Ma Donghua, "Last time it was six hundred sixty-six, this time I didn’t dare add too much. I was worried you’d say the number is unlucky again. I added sixty cents, which should be very auspicious."

When Ma Donghua heard Xiaofeng mentioning the additional sixty cents, she felt like she could spit blood.

She was missing her sixty cents.

She had come to get the red envelope topped up, expecting at least five hundred.

"Whether you add more or less, it’s your goodwill. It’s her own fault for not being careful. To even give a supplemental red envelope is quite generous of you," the gossip-prone aunt replied with a laugh.

"Right, any amount is just a token of goodwill. I think adding sixty cents is very appropriate."

A red envelope of six hundred sixty-six, no wonder Ma Donghua bore the stench just to retrieve it. Unexpectedly, Guaizi was so willing, for the sake of preventing Xiaofeng from being criticized by the villagers.

Such a big sum, almost like giving away a daughter.

Everyone agreed it was appropriate, Ma Donghua listened to their words, unable to breathe a word.

After all the fuss, it only amounted to sixty cents. What good was that?

"Donghua," He Ximei chuckled to herself, "haha, Xiaofeng’s move was really satisfying; it shut Ma Donghua up and she couldn’t ask for more money."

Brilliant, truly brilliant.

Ma Donghua grabbed the red envelope from Xiaofeng’s hand irritably and walked out, "Fine, you make it sound like I want your money. I was just looking for some good luck. I have to go work in the fields soon, and I have no time to chat. I’m heading back first."

This damned girl, she used to agree with everything I said. Now I don’t know where she has picked up all these clever tricks from.

"Fine, I really have to watch out this time, after all, three times is a charm. I’ve given you red envelopes more than three times, which isn’t very auspicious, you know?"

"Nonsense," Ma Donghua didn’t bother with Xiaofeng, with all her twisted logic.

After Ma Donghua left, He Ximei handed out a handful of peanuts to everyone, "My house needs some repairs soon, and our family might need to live in the city for a while. Keep an eye on things here for me, everyone."

"Fatso," Big Mouth cracked open a peanut, "You guys are moving to the city, huh? That’s really classy. Where will you be staying?"

"We rented a few rooms; we need a place to stay while the house is being fixed."

"That makes sense," Guaizi and his family, not too many but not few either, it would be impossible to stay at someone else’s house.

The group chatted briefly before dispersing.

That’s how it is in the countryside, there’s always endless work to do.

"Did you see your aunt’s face? It went completely dark," He Ximei was growing to love Xiaofeng’s handling style more and more: "You called everyone together, everyone agreed there was no need to give more money, and left her with nothing to say."

The red envelopes were replenished, the money was added, let’s see how you can complain now.

Xiaofeng actually didn’t want to get involved in these trivial household matters; they weren’t very interesting to her.

All she wanted now was to focus more on her business. She was already two months pregnant, and there were still over six months until her due date.

In these six months, she at least needed to earn enough money to buy a small car. That way, it would be more convenient for her to get out or for the baby to go out in the future.

In her past life, she was accustomed to driving everywhere; now, having to walk everywhere just didn’t feel right.

"I am not like my dad, if my aunt thinks she can take advantage of me, she has to see if I’d let her," Xiaofeng smiled as she shook out the Five Finger Peppers, picking out the substandard ones.

...

Su Zhiyuan stood in front of the bed, looking at his sister with pity, "Sis, you should avoid taking the back alleys in the future. I heard Mom say that Doctor Ye keeps snakes in that area, sounds pretty scary."

A flash of anger passed through Su Xiaotao’s eyes, it wasn’t the snakes, Doctor Ye himself was the problem: "I know, one fall wasn’t enough, as if I want to fall a second time."

"I heard from Mom that you’re going to marry that thug from Liu Family Village, is that true?" How could his sister fancy that thug.

Even marrying an ordinary family would be better than marrying that man.

Thinking about her own marriage, Xiaotao felt a sourness in her nose, "You don’t understand; I was manipulated. Even if I had poor taste, I wouldn’t fancy someone like Liu An. It was Su Xiaofeng; she was harassed by someone two months ago and blamed it on me, so she set me up with Liu An. As you know, Liu An is a thug. If I don’t agree to marry him, who knows what he might do, he might even cause trouble at your school. Zhiyuan, to avoid affecting your studies and future, your sister can bear this little injustice."

Although Su Xiaotao was not a great beauty, she was skilled with her hands, and her family’s condition was decent. She was certainly not a match for someone like Liu An.

Now, she was considered the least valuable girl in the village, as Liu Family stated they could only afford nine hundred yuan as a dowry, not a cent more.

The other party acted shamelessly, and her parents were helpless.

All of this was because of Su Xiaofeng. If not for her, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a degraded state, nor become an object of ridicule among the villagers.

She swore, if her days were not going well, she would not let Su Xiaofeng have a peaceful life either.

Su Zhiyuan clenched his fists as he listened to his sister, "This Su Xiaofeng, I used to think she had a good relationship with you, respected her as a sister, but I didn’t expect her to do such a thing behind your back, how truly disgusting."

"Zhiyuan, for your sake, it’s okay for your sister to suffer a bit," Su Xiaotao said, her voice breaking with a sob.

"Sis, wait, I’ll teach her a lesson right now," Su Zhiyuan said, clenching his fists as he got ready to go out. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenager in the prime of his youth could not bear to see his relative suffer even a little.
