Chapter 472: Work Hard

The outspoken woman was of the belief that anyone with discernment could see that the Su family was now under the control of Gu Zi. If Su Jing didn’t outwardly support Gu Zi, she might be driven out of the Su family, and then all of Su Shen’s property would fall into Gu Zi’s hands.

She was certain that Su Jing must have other plans and decided to probe her further later. Today, she blamed herself for speaking too plainly.

The outspoken woman, along with a few others, busied themselves wiping tables, sweeping floors, and hauling out the trash. After they finished these tasks, Su Jing found new chores for them. By the time the ancestral hall closed, the women were so tired they could barely stand straight, let alone speak.

After they left, Su Jing and Aunt Zhang laughed heartily.

Aunt Zhang said, “These people deserve such treatment, and it’s fitting that you, as the younger sister-in-law, are the one to do it. If your sister-in-law did this, she would be gossiped about. But you doing this to protect her leaves them without any recourse…”

Outside, Su Bing, who had come to help carry things, watched everything with his usual expressionless face. Only he knew that he was happy; his aunt was truly changing!

When Su Bing and Su Jing arrived home, Su Li was playing with Su Le in the yard. Seeing Su Bing and Su Jing enter the gate one after the other, Su Li’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He followed Su Bing and asked softly, “Brother, why have you betrayed us?”

Hadn’t they agreed that they would never show their aunt a friendly face? What if she was only pretending to be nice!

Su Bing picked up his sister and said to Su Li, “Earlier at the ancestral hall, some women were badmouthing our mother, but our aunt scolded them. I think her behavior since she returned isn’t an act. I plan to treat her normally now, even though she didn’t choose to take care of us when we needed someone the most.”

Their mother often taught them that forgiving others reasonably was also a form of self-forgiveness.

Su Bing felt that if he were to try to forgive someone, starting with his aunt Su Jing seemed like the best choice. Because fundamentally, Su Jing hadn’t inflicted any unforgivable harm on them.

Their aunt, in the past, was mostly seen as negative because she was too selfish. But who isn’t selfish?

Now that their aunt was no longer so selfish and seemed to have become smarter, treating them as family, he was willing to try treating her as a relative.

Su Li found it hard to believe that their aunt would actually stand up for their mother. What was even more surprising was that she could be so clever?

Had she really been blinded by love before? Love certainly wasn’t a good thing. However, Su Li felt that their aunt still needed to be observed further.

At this moment, Su Jing had already made her way to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She was tired, indeed, but she was now acutely aware of her role as a guest. Regardless, she had made many mistakes in the past.

She took a pause, reflecting on her actions.

Now, being accepted once again by her maternal family, she felt she should be grateful and strive to show her best side. She didn’t want to leave this family, this place that gave her a sense of security and confidence. Since it was inevitable that she was here for her own benefits, she should contribute even more.

Her relationship with Tian Hai had made Su Jing realize that nothing in life came free of cost. The most expensive things were those that were given freely. To obtain something, one should put in the corresponding effort, and earn it in a fair and reasonable manner.

She took a deep breath, ready to face the tasks ahead.

Su Jing began by washing the vegetables, then moved on to cutting the meat and chopping the chicken. The kitchen was filled with the sounds of her cooking. When Gu Zi entered the kitchen, she saw her working diligently. She chuckled, “Looks like my little sister-in-law can handle dinner all by herself?”

Without turning around, Su Jing continued her work, “No problem.”

Once Gu Zi confirmed she could handle it, she truly exited the kitchen. Gu Zi was not a sly person, but she needed to make sure that Su Jing was truly willing to do these tasks. After all, if Su Jing did well and won over her maternal family, it would be greatly beneficial for her…

Before dinner, Su Shen rushed back. He had to eat quickly and rush off to work the night shift at the pig farm.

Gu Zi knew he had been busy these days, so she brought up any issues during dinner. She mentioned the matter about Chen Village, “I think we need to be cautious about today’s events. The people from Chen Village might make a move.”

Su Shen responded, “Indeed, the people from Chen Village have not given up. They have been causing trouble for the pig farm in secret, trying to force me into a partnership with them. But these people are not suitable for cooperation. They only want to take money, but they are unwilling to bear any risks.”

He sighed, his brow furrowed in concern.

“But doing business inherently involves both profit and risk. You don’t need to pay attention to them. If anyone causes trouble, notify me immediately.”
