Chapter 96 She is my sister
Su Qiang opened his mouth as if to speak, but his wife quickly tugged at him, almost making him fall over: "Oh, you mean this? I was just about to tell you."
"A couple of years ago, our family was in a bad situation, so your older brother and I consulted a feng shui master. He said that the feng shui of our father's grave was bad, so we moved the grave."
"In the following years, your older brother started a small business, and his life really did get better day by day. Sigh, if I had known, I would have consulted a feng shui master two years earlier."
Su Yu remained silent for a while, then said to Su Qiang, "Brother, I want to take Xiao Feng to the graves for a walk. Can you take me there? Or you can tell me where it is."
Aunt Su quickly said, "Ayu, you don't need to be so anxious. Look at your older brother, he's so drunk. How can he take you to the grave? What if we go to the wrong grave? Wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"
"You've finally come back, so stay here for the night. Tomorrow morning, I'll have your older brother take you to visit the graves."
Su Yu looked at Yue Feng, who nodded, and Su Yu agreed. Suddenly, Su's wife became extremely hospitable to the two of them, asking Su Qiang to fetch a pot of wine and personally cooking several dishes to make a table for them to sit down.
The four of them ate and drank for a while, then went back to their rooms. Around midnight, Su Qiang quietly got up and went to Yue Feng and Su Yu's room to listen for any sounds. Su's wife followed him out and asked, "Are they all asleep?"
Su Qiang nodded: "I used enough medicine for ten people from Shuiyue Manor; they've all fallen asleep and died long ago."
Aunt Su said, "Go quickly and call someone over. I'm constantly on edge. If these two are alive, we won't have a single day of peace."
Su Qiang hesitated for a moment: "After all, Ayu is my sister, so maybe..."
Aunt Su's eyebrows shot up, and although her voice wasn't loud, her tone was extremely harsh as she scolded, "Sister? Can a sister be closer than a wife? You should know that I'm the one who's living with you!"
"Your sister lives a life of luxury in the city, and look at her sly ways! She sends you money every year, but she treats you like a beggar, stingy and cheap."
"Now look what's happened! We've finally started living a good life, and she comes running here like a madwoman. What does she want? What do you want?"
Su Qiang's expression shifted between light and dark. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said with a forced smile, "Wife, you're right. I'll go right now."
"That's more like it. Hurry up and come back, or they might wake up."
"He won't wake up, he absolutely won't wake up." Su Qiang said this, but still ran out of the yard.
After about the time it takes to eat a meal, he returned with several burly men and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. The middle-aged man was only in his forties, but he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old. His face showed a deep weariness, as if he had had enough of everything in this world.
Hearing the commotion inside, Aunt Su came out and exclaimed, "Oh my, Master Sun! I didn't expect you to come in person..."
The middle-aged scholar snorted, "Enough talk, where is he?"
Aunt Su's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly put on a smile again: "She's inside, Master Sun. I'll take you there." She then left Su Qiang behind and led Master Sun to Su Yu's room, swaying her hips.
Su Yu was fast asleep in bed when Master Sun glanced at her face and frowned: "Su Qiang, your sister... I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"
Su Qiang chuckled: "Master Sun, you might be mistaken. My sister works as a maid for a wealthy family in the city. How could you have met her?"
When Sun Fangzhu heard Su Qiang mention "wealthy family" and "maid," he suddenly remembered Su Yu's identity. Shuiyue Manor and the Xie family had been fighting for a long time, so he naturally knew who was in the Xie family.
Su Qiang then said, "Master Sun, you said before that anyone who inquires about the old woman from the neighborhood would get money if they handed her over. Look, she's my sister, and she's so beautiful, could you give me a little more...?"
Master Sun frowned and said, "You, surnamed Su, aren't you satisfied with taking advantage of me? Back then, your father was seriously ill, and according to the rules of the neighborhood, we wouldn't accept any money from you. I made an exception for you because your family was poor, and I didn't skimp on the silver. What, have you forgotten?"
Su Qiang said awkwardly, "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. But my sister is different from my father. Even if I sold her to human traffickers, she'd still be worth a price, wouldn't she?"
Sun, the shopkeeper, didn't want to argue with him, so he said to one of the burly men who had come with him, "Give him some silver and shut him up."
The burly man, who usually looked down on such rural places, had no choice but to come with Su Qiang tonight. He trudged through the mud, his shoes covered in grime. He pulled a silver ingot from his sleeve, threw it on the ground, stomped on it, and said to Su Qiang:
"Lick my shoes clean, and this silver ingot is yours."
Su Qiang's face flushed red, and he was about to explode in anger when his wife suddenly shoved him from behind: "You do whatever they tell you to do! It's a coward not to make money!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qiang found it quite reasonable, and his anger immediately subsided. He chuckled and lay down on all fours, his mouth reaching for the burly man's shoes. Just then, a soft moan was heard, and Su Yu on the bed slowly woke up. Seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
"Brother, what's wrong with you...?"
Su Qiang froze, his expression shifting rapidly. Suddenly, Su's wife rushed forward, grabbing Su Yu's neck with both hands: "You bitch, who told you to wake up!"
After being poisoned, Su Yu woke up early thanks to her profound martial arts skills, but the poison had not yet been neutralized, leaving her unable to move. When her aunt pinched her, she immediately fainted again. However, her aunt did not let go; instead, she tightened her grip, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged.
Seeing the venomous look on Su's face, Master Sun realized that Su Yu was determined to die. He was considering handing Su Yu over to Shuiyue Manor, so how could he let her die here? He gave his men a signal, and several burly men immediately stepped forward, grabbed Su's wife, and dragged her away.
Aunt Su still gripped Su Yu's neck tightly with both hands, dragging her off the bed as well. Seeing this, Master Sun stepped forward and slapped Aunt Su twice across the face. Aunt Su, dizzy from the slaps, finally released her grip.
Master Sun thought to himself, "I hope that slut doesn't really strangle me to death." He wanted to revive Su Yu and, incidentally, ask her what she knew about the Xie family. Seeing that there were many people in the room, he told his men, "Everyone out! Wait for me in the courtyard!"
One of his men chuckled, "Boss, we haven't had any meat in ages. After you finish eating, can we have some soup too?" Master Sun snorted coldly, too lazy to explain, and closed the door.
He turned around and saw a young man in a blue robe sitting by the bed, holding Su Yu in his arms and letting her rest her head on his lap.
Just as Master Sun was about to speak, the young man raised a finger, and an extremely powerful finger strike hit Master Sun from a distance. Master Sun shuddered, unable to speak or move.
Yue Feng used his Giant Spirit Golden Body Divine Skill to instantly expel the toxins from Su Yu's body. Su Yu woke up, her mind still filled with the image of Su Qiang kneeling on the ground and Su's sister-in-law rushing over to strangle her.
She had a general idea of what had happened, but she still couldn't believe it. Yue Feng raised his index finger, signaling her to be quiet. They could hear the voices of Sun Fangzhu's men chatting with Su Qiang and Su's wife outside.
"Su Qiang, when we came here just now, we passed by your father's grave, right? You made a fortune selling him to our Shuiyue Manor! Why don't you even bother to fix up your father's grave properly? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
