With a nod, Gu Zi paid for the coat without a second word, instructing the shop assistant to wrap it up. Su Jing watched her with admiring eyes, as if she were looking at a goddess.
In that moment, Gu Zi felt a surge of power within herself. Indeed, having money at hand made her feel invincible.
Leaving the clothing section, they passed by the luggage area where Su Jing paused. She had spotted a pink suitcase with wheels. “Sister-in-law, I want to buy a new suitcase. What do you think of this one?”
Gu Zi examined it. The design was trendy, likely the latest model of the year. However, she was puzzled. “I remember the suitcase you brought back this time is still pretty new. Do you need to replace it so soon?”
Su Jing’s gaze remained fixed on the new suitcase, her tone becoming somewhat hesitant. “I don’t want that suitcase anymore. I have some money left, so I want to get a new one.”
Gu Zi noticed her unusual demeanor. She recalled that the suitcase Su Jing had brought back was from the Tian family. Perhaps she didn’t want to see it anymore, not wanting to face her past relationship with Tian Hai.
Without objection, Gu Zi said, “Then get a new one. Throw away all those dirty things and let’s look forward.”
Su Jing nodded, happily purchasing the new suitcase. She carried it herself, even loading it into the trunk of Su Shen’s car when they left in the afternoon.
Upon returning to the village, Gu Zi chatted with Su Shen at the entrance. He had to rush back to the pig farm, so Su Jing took the suitcase upstairs to her room.
Gu Zi didn’t find this strange, but her intuition told her that Su Jing seemed to be planning something. Gu Zi decided to ask her about it when she came down, curious about her future plans. After all, life had to go on even without Tian Hai.
However, before Su Jing could come downstairs, trouble arrived at the Su family’s doorstep. Loud knocking echoed through the house, causing quite a commotion.
Gu Zi went out to see, and as she had suspected, it was Li Li who had come. Just as she was about to call Su Jing, she saw Su Jing calmly walking out, heading straight for the front door.
Li Li, who had been cursing and was now catching her breath outside the Su family’s front door, started cursing again as soon as she saw Su Jing. “Su Jing, you bitch, why did you lie to me? It’s all because of your damn recipe. I’ve lost everything, Chang Sheng doesn’t want me anymore, are you happy now?”
Li Li was furious. Su Jing had ruined her life. The meat marinated with that damn recipe was not only stinky and tough, but also caused diarrhea. After vomiting and diarrhea, she, her fiancé’s family, and a few neighbors who had tasted it were all hospitalized.
Now, not only did her fiancé want to call off the wedding, but he also demanded compensation for the loss. The neighbors who had tasted the food even threatened to call the police.
Li Li was almost driven mad by these events. It was only today that she realized she should have come to Su Jing for a solution. It must have been Su Jing who had tampered with the recipe, causing the current situation.
Su Jing opened the front door and slapped Li Li across the face, leaving five bright red finger marks. She retorted, “Am I happy? Li Li, I gave you a chance. I gave you the recipe for you to study, not to please your future in-laws. You were the one who rushed to present it as a treasure, causing the current mess. How can you blame me?”
Su Jing had never been a saint. When Li Li tried to sow discord between her and Gu Zi, Su Jing had secretly planned to make her pay for her ill intentions. How could Li Li blame her now?
“Su Jing, you dare to hit me? I’ll fight you!” Li Li, her eyes red with rage, reached out to grab Su Jing’s hair and pull it. The two women immediately began to fight, falling to the ground, each clutching the other’s hair and wrapping their legs around the other’s neck, neither giving an inch.
Gu Zi watched from the side, clearly understanding that intervening would only hurt herself. She wouldn’t rashly step in to break up the fight.
Gu Zi’s gaze swept around, finally landing on Big Yellow, the dog in the corner of the yard. An idea flashed in her mind. She shouted at the two women who were fighting fiercely, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t stop, I’ll let Big Yellow loose. Let me make it clear, Big Yellow hasn’t eaten yet today!”
