Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Ma Xiulan’s Revenge

After they got on the bus, the brother-in-law’s younger brother leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to sleep.

He hadn’t spoken a single word to them.

If it had been someone else, it would have seemed extremely impolite, a total disregard for others. But with the brother-in-law’s brother doing it, it felt like it was just meant to be that way.

Not getting off the bus, not greeting anyone, being too lazy to deal with people, it was all normal for him.

Although he didn’t speak, his presence was still forcefully felt.

After looking from Zhou Hengguang to Second Sister, Su Xue realized that since getting on the bus, Second Sister had also leaned back in her seat to sleep, not uttering a word. However, Su Xue still sharply felt that something was off, and looking at Ji Fang who was driving, this feeling intensified.

It seemed that staying back in her old home to study had made her miss a lot.

“Don’t think too much,” Su Xiu gently stroked Su Xue’s hair.

Now Su Xue was certain, Third Sister was also in the know.

It seemed like she was the only one kept in the dark, and it really didn’t feel good. Just like with her father’s background issue, the brother-in-law definitely knew about it early on, and Big Sister had gradually realized it too. Before they knew the truth, the brother-in-law and Big Sister must have gone through a lot.

And they must have done a lot too.

Su Xue found once again that she was protected too well.

Trinity Village—

It was the noon mealtime, smoke billowed from kitchens of each household, and as the New Year approached, the village radiated a joyous atmosphere. Villagers happily shopped for New Year goods, and children played mischievously everywhere.

The most leisurely time of the year was now.

However, the atmosphere at Su Dachun’s home was not so relaxed; during the lunch cooking time, their stove remained cold.

The front door was tightly shut, Su Dachun sat on a bench at the door, smoking a dry pipe.

With a harsh face, Ma Xiulan scolded, “Hurry up and cook, don’t just sit there sighing.”

“I can’t get in touch with Jia Ming,” Su Dachun lamented, his hair nearly turning white with worry, “Ever since Jia Ming’s leg got crippled, he has hated us.”

“It’s all because of that bastard Su Xuewen,” Ma Xiulan said venomously, “It was he who ruined Jia Ming, we originally wanted Su Xuewen’s offspring to pay the price, but instead… his little bastards got ahead, and none of our plans worked out.”

The thought alone made her grind her teeth in hatred.

Ma Xiulan had schemingly used Zhang Chunxiang, taking the excuse of visiting relatives to sever connections, not being in the village. She had it all planned out perfectly, expecting that with Su Wen’s stupidity, by the time they returned from visiting relatives, Zhou Hengyang would have been driven out.

The vile Zhao Jiangang had already been let in the door.

But upon their return from visiting relatives, nothing had happened.

Zhou Hengyang indeed had left, but not as an enemy driven out; instead, the little bastard Su Wen had given him money to appease him nicely.

Zhao Jiangang had not caused any trouble either.

All her carefully calculated revenges had failed.

“It’s no wonder that Jia Ming is upset,” Ma Xiulan laid all the blame on Su Wen and her sisters, her heart growing more venomous, “Who else but us failed to keep our promises? It’s natural for Jia Ming to feel resentful and angry.”

The series of failed plans had not only not driven Zhou Hengyang away, but actually improved his relationship with Su Wen. Together with Third Sister-in-Law’s dissatisfaction and the series of changes in Xuefang’s house, it caught them unprepared and overwhelmed.

After Xuefang’s issues were resolved, Ma Xiulan realized that Su Wen’s reputation in the village had completely turned around. Trying to plot against her like before was out of the question.

Furthermore, with her two sons being embarrassments, failing repeatedly, her schemes against the little bastard were doomed.

She could only watch helplessly as the little bastard succeeded more and more, and that’s when Ma Xiulan truly panicked.
