Chapter 526 Lin Xiang's Wife: I Am the Rich and Powerful (3)
Su Dingding asked Gangzi to do some simple repairs on the dilapidated house.
In the blink of an eye, it was transformed into a large mansion, but to outsiders it was still a dilapidated house.
Tie Dan looked at the magnificent courtyard that seemed so grand to him, and even forgot to wipe the snot running down his nose.
"Tiedan, come here. Mom bought you a few new cotton-padded clothes. See if they fit."
Tie Dan ran into the warm house and looked at his mother, who looked completely refreshed.
Even though Lin Xiang's hometown air was unsophisticated, she still looked rustic in the clothes that only wealthy ladies could wear. However, Su Dingding's good temperament also elevated Lin Xiang's overall appearance.
"Mom, you look so beautiful today." Tie Dan came up to Su Dingding and took her hand. "Mom, did you meet an old sage? How did our family suddenly become like this? We're even more prosperous than the Cheng family in town."
"Tiedan is so smart. I've really met a lucky star. From now on, you'll live a good life with me." Su Dingding said as she helped Tiedan change into new clothes.
Gangzi busied himself preparing a table full of delicious food and drinks.
After finishing their meal, Su Dingding and Tiedan decided to go to town.
She still had to pretend to be poor so that those who bullied her would be exposed.
"Tie Dan, you stay home and behave yourself. Don't run around until your mother comes back."
Even though Gangzi was at home with her, Su Dingding still gave her some instructions.
Upon arriving in town, Su Dingding began looking for work, but naturally encountered setbacks everywhere.
"Sister Lin, you've lost two men in the past five years. You're tough as nails. Who wouldn't be afraid of you if you came to live with that kind of luck!"
Su Dingding looked at the old woman who was eating melon seeds; she had a mean-looking face with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks.
"Old woman, how about I stay at your house for a few days and see if I can bring bad luck to your husband too!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman exploded, "I say, Sister Lin Xiang, you are truly vicious! How dare you curse my husband to die!"
"It's your own fault for speaking so harshly, so don't blame me for saying such hurtful things," Su Dingding said, raising her head. "My two husbands died, which eye of yours saw that I killed them? Blame this evil society, the poor people are too poor, blame the backward medical conditions, that nothing serious can be cured. If I'm really tough, I'll draw a circle and curse you right now, and see if you die!"
The old woman's chest heaved with anger at Su Dingding's words, mainly because she didn't quite understand them.
Lin Xiang's wife is just an ordinary village woman, so why is she suddenly saying some inexplicable things that sound surprisingly cultured?
The two of them started arguing, and a lot of people gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Su Dingding spotted her former mother-in-law, Lin Xiang's mother, in the crowd at a glance!
Lin Xiangniang, carrying a basket, looked her former daughter-in-law up and down with a sneer, her eyes filled with hatred and contempt.
"You've cursed my son to death, and now you've cursed Bi Laoliu to death too. You still have the nerve to curse people here. Anyone else would have jumped into the river by now. You're shameless and have no sense of shame!"
As Lin Xiangniang spoke, she deliberately scratched her face a few times and spat a mouthful of phlegm at Su Dingding's feet.
Su Dingding let out a cold snort, "Who do we have here? It's you, my old nemesis!"
"Who are you calling a nemesis?" Lin Xiangniang glared and took a step forward, raising her head as if she was about to start a fight.
"Of course I'm talking about you. I heard that you killed your mother-in-law less than two months after you married into the Lin family, and your father-in-law less than two years later. Your uncle died less than five years later, and your own father, mother, and nephew died less than seven years later. You became a widow in your thirties, and only one of your four children survived. He died before he was nineteen. Look at how many people you've killed over the years!"
Lin Xiangniang was stunned. She jumped up and down, shouting, "Stop talking nonsense! They... all died of illness. What does it have to do with me?"
"You're being hypocritical! What? Didn't my two husbands die of illness? You old hag, you really can just say whatever you want!" Su Dingding's voice was eight octaves higher than hers.
After she said that, the onlookers suddenly realized that it made sense.
Su Dingding then burst into tears again, “Lin Xiang is dead. I wanted to stay with him for the rest of my life, but you forcibly took me back and sold me to Bi Laoliu, taking the money from selling your daughter-in-law. Don’t you feel guilty? If Lin Xiang knew this in the afterlife, he would be crying his eyes out. I was his wife, waaaah…”
Lin Xiangniang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
People around her started pointing fingers and gossiping; what she had done was indeed a bit too much.
“I’ve been in the Lin family for over ten years. I’ve worked hard, if not done anything great. You’ve never treated me like family. I’ve accepted being treated like a slave, but what can I do when my life is so miserable…” Su Dingding cried harder and harder as she spoke.
"I...you..."
Lin Xiangniang blushed and glared at Su Dingding. When did this old hag become so talkative? She wasn't afraid of her anymore?
In the past, Sister Lin Xiang didn't dare to lift her head when she saw her mother-in-law, and no matter what she said, she didn't dare to utter a single word!
Now look at her, she can come up with a whole rebuttal, and there's no way to refute it.
Unable to contain her anger, Lin Xiangniang raised her hand to slap Su Dingding.
Su Dingding glanced at her, then pretended to be hit by her, covering his face and falling to the ground, while pushing Lin Xiangniang at the same time.
Lin Xiangniang's body fell backward uncontrollably, landing hard on her bottom. She immediately felt a numbness in her buttocks, as if her tailbone was broken.
"You're not my mother anymore, so why are you hitting me?" Su Dingding roared in grievance.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..." Lin Xiangniang groaned, clutching her waist.
Su Dingding looked at her with a puzzled expression, "You hit me, but you seem to be in pain now?"
The onlookers laughed. "Lin Xiangniang, how much force did you use? Lin Xiangsao is no longer your daughter-in-law. You're just taking advantage of her because her husband is dead."
"Exactly, even if Bi Laoliu with his DSLR camera were still around, you wouldn't have the guts."
"Ouch, it really hurts..." Lin Xiangniang tried to stand up, but dared not move at all.
Su Dingding stood up from the ground. "Alright, stop pretending. I won't hold this slap against you. You're older, so you're right. From now on, let's keep to ourselves and go our separate ways!"
After clapping his hands, Su Dingding turned and left.
"Stop right there!" Lin Xiangniang still wanted Su Dingding to take responsibility for her.
If I hadn't hit her, would she have acted like this?
Su Dingding didn't even turn her head. Let the old man stay paralyzed for now; she was going to get rich first!
There's no point in doing odd jobs; if she's going to do something, she wants to do something big.
When slaves rise up and sing, only those with fame and status will have a voice.
In this era, before the reform and opening up, the people were truly poor, wearing patched clothes, lacking education, and with conservative and backward thinking. She wanted to change her own destiny while also leading the trend of the times.
Just as they were wondering what to do, they suddenly heard someone shout from ahead, "Have you heard? Yuliu Cosmetics Factory is coming to our town to build a branch factory, and they're recruiting a factory manager and employees!"
