Old man Sun stared fixedly at Su Wen, his cloudy eyes making people panic. However, Su Wen remained unfazed, showing no signs of backing down, and she stared back with determination.
“Wen, leave room for reconciliation in life for future encounters. We’re all from the same village, old neighbors for decades. Being this ruthless, you’ll pay a price someday.”
“Are you threatening me?” Su Wen’s anger flared up. “I, Su Wen, hate being threatened.”
Old man Sun took a puff of his pipe and said slowly, “It’s not a threat, I just want you to know your limits. I’m older than your father and have seen more in life. You’re a young girl, you should know your limits and upbringing.”
“Is that so?” Su Wen showed no fear. She sneered disdainfully. “Sorry, but my father passed away early, and my mother even earlier. No one taught me manners and respect.”
The timing of Old man Sun’s arrival today was quite cunning. None of the neighboring houses were occupied. Su Wen recalled what Zhou Hengyang had said about Old man Sun being no ordinary person, much stronger than Sun Dahai and his brother. In this standoff today, she had a taste of it.
Behind the door, the six sisters heard Su Wen’s words, their eyes turned red. Su Xiu’s tears were even welled in her eyes. For the sisters, the most painful thing was the loss of their father.
But now Old man Sun was actually pouring salt on Big sister’s wounds. How could the sisters tolerate it?
“Don’t go out. This kind of situation can only be left to Big sister to handle.
Going out will only make things worse for her.” Su Xue gritted her teeth.
Although she stopped everyone from leaving, she was clearly in a bad mood.
“Old man Sun is here with so many people to intercede for Sun Yunyun, but if the intercession fails, he’ll definitely make a fuss and take the opportunity to drag Big sister down.” If a fight broke out, anything could happen in the chaos.
Therefore, they couldn’t act impulsively, and there couldn’t be too many people. Big sister stood alone at the door making it difficult for Old man Sun to find an opportunity.
“That’s right, Fourth sister is right.” Fifth sister’s little nose was red. She held back her tears and helped restrain everyone.
Su Qing sighed and fell to the ground weakly. She did not speak for a long time.
Outside the courtyard, Su Wen’s assertiveness and audacity had exceeded Old man Sun’s expectations. This made him look at Su Wen with even more complicated and fearful eyes.
“However…” Su Wen changed the topic. “Although my biological father passed away early, he never taught me to steal. Your family is different. Sun Yunyun has stolen and harmed people before, hasn’t she?”
“You…” Old man Sun’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of ferocity, as if he wanted to strangle Su Wen to death.
Even Sun Dahai, Zhu Yueju, and the others subconsciously shrank their shoulders. They knew what kind of person Old man Sun was. If Old man Sun was really angry, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid.
However, Su Wen wasn’t afraid, not because she had more courage than others, but because she couldn’t afford to be afraid.
Her six younger sisters were right behind her. She couldn’t retreat, couldn’t show fear, and couldn’t give an inch. As long as she yielded even a bit, Old man Sun would seize the opportunity like a wolf. In the future, Su Wen would never be able to be tough again.
It wasn’t easy for her to get to where she was today. She absolutely couldn’t be weak, not even a tiny bit.
Su Wen’s eyes were sharp and determined, and her demeanor fierce. She didn’t retreat in the face of Old man Sun’s threat and intimidation.
However, despite her outward strength, deep down, she yearned desperately for the man who had quietly taken care of her when she was sick, who had personally helped her repair every blade of grass and every brick and stone in the courtyard after it was burned down.
Su Wen suddenly missed Zhou Hengyang immensely. If he was here, she wouldn’t have to endure all of this hardship and pretend to be strong.
Even though she felt quite scared when threatened, she had to display even greater strength and resilience.
Su Wen thought to herself, “Zhou Hengyang, come back! When you come back,
I won’t despise you anymore..”
