Chapter 267: I’ll End It Right Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing Su Jing’s words, the middle-aged woman who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly realized that Su Jing and Gu Zi were in cahoots. It explained why Su Jing had been so calm and composed in the Tian family lately; she was clearly aligning herself with her own family.

Mother Tian abruptly stood up from her kneeling position and pointed an accusing finger at Su Jing, venting her anger, “You wretched woman! My son’s misfortune is all because of you! Why didn’t you intercede for him? Why did you come back here? Well, you’re no longer welcome in my house!”

Mother Tian was a team leader at the city’s cotton textile factory and had always harbored disdain for Su Jing, a rural woman. However, her son, Tian Hai, had insisted on being with Su Jing. Eventually, she learned that Su Jing’s brother owned the pig farm, which put her mind at ease about letting Su Jing reside with the Tian family.

Over the years, Su Jing had sided with the Tian family, and in return, the Tian family had enjoyed a peaceful life and various benefits. She never expected Su Jing to change sides now. If she wished to remain in the Tian family, she needed to plead for Tian Hai and work towards his release from the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible.

“Weren’t you kneeling just now?” Su Jing smiled, her tone sly. “Why aren’t you Imeeling now? Your apology seems rather insincere. I’m your son’s girlfriend, and unless he says otherwise, you have no right to chase me away.”

She had not left the Tian family yet, but that did not mean that she still had any hope for her future with Tian Hai.

She just needed to figure out some things on her own. She needed time to digest these changes.

Furthermore, Su Jing was no longer as submissive as she used to be when it came to Mother tian.

Seeing Su Jing speak up, Gu Zi ignored Mother Tian, who, seeing her softer approach had failed, decided to resort to force. She had come here to cause trouble because due to Su Jing’s sister-in-law, her husband and son had been arrested, causing her immense embarrassment – something she had never experienced before.

In the cotton textile factory, she was used to receiving fawning respect from the workers she managed. She couldn’t bear to leave empty-handed after putting aside her pride to beg for forgiveness. Mother Tian’s true nature began to emerge as she accused Gu Zi, “You want to report my son for something as trivial as a few glances? You want him to go to jail? It’s just a few lingering looks; do you have to ruin a person’s life?”

Mother Tian didn’t believe her son was at fault in the slightest. She subscribed to the notion that men were inherently lustful, and what was wrong with them appreciating a few glances? Gu Zi, in her eyes, seemed like a seductress. Was Tian Hai not allowed to look at her? This woman had led her son to his current predicament, and she wasn’t about to let her off easily.

Mother Tian had been using her connections to secure the release of her husband and son, but her efforts had been in vain so far. She felt that she had no choice but to hold on to the woman who had supposedly caused her son’s downfall. It was clear she intended to make things difficult for everyone involved.

Gu Zi, upon hearing this, finally understood why someone like Tian Hai existed; it was all because of his mother. She sneered and didn’t respond, simply turning to look at Big Yellow.

Addressing Mother Tian, she quipped, “You speak like a wild dog barking. I don’t understand a word. Why you don’t convey your thoughts to Big Yellow?”

Big Yellow, too, chimed in, responding to Gu Zits words. After hearing Gu Zi’s command, it barked at Mother Tian a few times.

Bystanders couldn’t help but feel indignant on Gu Zits behalf. One of them remarked, “Exactly, a domestic dog is still better than some wild dogs that bite people.”

“That’s right. She’s a woman herself. According to her, if a man wants to look at her, she’ll take off her clothes and let him look. I didn’t expect someone of her age to be so open-minded.”

Mother Tian felt as if these women were ganging up against her, likely because the Su family was affluent and Gu Zi was now Su Shen’s woman. Dismissing their comments, she threatened Gu Zi, “You people are truly ruthless! Do you want to see my son and husband suffer just to satisfy yourselves? Fine, fine, fine. I’ll take my own life right here for you to witness. I’ll end it right in front of your house.”

Following her declaration, Mother Tian pretended to lunge into the wall. Observing her unreasonable and reckless behavior, the women who had previously spoken up for Gu Zi grew apprehensive. Fearing trouble, they began to walk away one by one.

However, Gu Zi remained unfazed. The more Mother Tian insisted on ending her life, the less inclined Gu Zi was to intervene. Gu Zi responded, “You can end it, but do it in front of my house. But I must warn you, no one will come to collect your body from such a remote location. I might just toss it a bit further away.. By the way, Su Jing, are you willing to handle her body?”
