Chapter 74 -74: Sending the third maid to the Provincial City.
The illiterate couple from the Su Family, upon hearing that they needed to report to the police, were so scared their legs began to tremble.
The big loudmouth who had just spoken began to push through the crowd, trying to leave.
With a guilty face, Mrs. Su directly clung to Aunt Wang’s thighs, screaming and shouting, pleading not to report to the police.
Su Fu’s response was calmer, his face showing that he did not want to cause trouble at the police station over a trivial family matter.
He wore an expression of moral righteousness, “Erya, you always make a mountain out of a molehill. Who goes running to the police station over a small dispute?
Don’t be so willful, if Sanyi isn’t coming here, where else could she be?”
Susu raised an eyebrow; it seemed Old Man Su was quite shrewd.
Mrs. Lu hastily spoke up, claiming innocence to the neighbors,
“Everyone come and judge, it’s just my daughter and me at home. Where could anyone else be?!”
“Oh… right, there’s also our Da Hei. Besides him, there really is no one else.”
“Bark bark bark.”
“Hahaha.”
Upon hearing the barking, everyone was amused to laughter.
Susu internally praised her Da Hei for doing well.
Mrs. Lu noticed her daughter-in-law’s quivering lip corners as she struggled to suppress laughter and gave a cough.
“Aunt Wang, I ask you to please make a trip to the police station. What if Erya really was taken by a human trafficker? What would we do then?”
“Hey~ don’t you worry, Aunt Lu.”
Said Aunt Wang, with a flick of her leg, she sent Mrs. Su tumbling over.
“Ah, Dad!”
Mrs. Su watched as the figure disappeared from sight, so anxious she started slapping her thigh.
“What do we do now, Dad? If the police find out…”
“Shut your mouth!”
Su Fu sternly interrupted Mrs. Su, glancing at his smiling second daughter with her hand on her belly.
“Susu, it’s possible your sister is hiding somewhere in the village. Your mother and I will go back and check.”
The people in the Family Court, seeing Mrs. Su scrambling on the ground, started to realize.
“It turns out the person wasn’t at the Lu Family’s place at all.”
…
Those who, moments ago, were indignant, believing themselves to be the champions of justice, now one by one fell silent, shrinking their necks and shamefacedly returned to their own homes.
Mrs. Lu quickly helped her heavily pregnant daughter-in-law into the house, “Susu, hurry and get on the kang to warm up, don’t catch a chill. Mother will pour you some hot water.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
“Auntie, I’ll come and sit too, join in the fun,” Aunt Wang said with a chuckle as she walked in.
Mrs. Lu warmly invited her to sit on the kang, “We really have to thank Aunt Wang for just now.”
“Ah, it’s nothing. We’ve been neighbors for over a decade now.”
“Your reaction just now was so quick,” Mrs. Lu gave her a thumbs up.
Aunt Wang tilted her chin up proudly, “Of course, we’ve been old buddies for years. I understood your signal with just a glance.”
“Besides, I don’t like that couple. It’s good to scare them a bit.”
Susu pursed her lips; truth be told, Aunt’s acting was quite impressive just now. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought she really went to the police station to report the matter.
Just thinking about the Su couple scrambling and rolling away, Susu couldn’t help but feel vindicated.
At lunch, Mrs. Lu and Father Lu talked about the morning’s events, still cursing the Su couple for being worthless.
“But, coming back to it, Susu, how did you know your parents would be so scared the moment they heard about reporting to the police?”
“For one thing, no one in the village is educated, so they all fear being sent to a labor camp by the police.
For another, they are guilty about selling their daughter, so they definitely don’t dare to make a commotion and go to the police station.”
Mrs. Lu nodded, agreeing that their own Susu was smart and understood everything.
Xiao Sun Family
Grandpa Sun and Granny Sun looked at the little girl who was younger than their grandson and felt heartbroken when they thought about what Aunt had said.
“Sanyi, right? You should feel at ease now that you’re at Granny Sun’s house. Don’t be afraid.”
Granny Sun cheerfully put food into the little girl’s bowl and reminded her, “Eat up, don’t be shy. Our family and your second sister’s family are related, so don’t worry.”
Grandpa Su nodded, “Yes, yes, just like it’s your own home.”
Looking at the bowl piled up like a small hill, Su Sanya sniffled.
“Thank you, Grandpa Sun and Granny Sun.”
Worried that the little girl would be anxious, Mrs. Lu took the opportunity while Father Lu was at home to quickly visit the Sun family.
Upon learning that her parents had been scared off and that her second sister had not been affected by her, the string that Su Sanya had been holding tight “snapped” and broke.
Tears rushed out like a breached dam.
Granny Sun and Mrs. Lu hugged the little girl, also unable to hold back their tears.
Such a horrible thing to do, to treat one’s own daughter this way.
Fortunately, their Susu had realized early on and had broken off all ties with that bloodsucking family.
Susu touched her hot ear tips and glanced at Da Hei sprawled out asleep on the dog mat.
“Sleeping so soundly? Makes me want to grab the dog and send him to work at a dog cafe.”
In his sleep, Da Hei shuddered and lazily opened one eyelid.
Susu thought, …Oops, did Da Hei hear that???

Seeing her mother-in-law’s eyes red and swollen like walnuts, Susu sighed.
“Was Sanyi crying a lot?”
“Ah~ That little girl must have been holding it in, and when she heard the news, the tears just poured out like they were free. She cried so much that Auntie Sun and I felt heartbroken.”
Mrs. Lu sighed, looking sympathetically at her daughter-in-law lying on the kang bed, “I don’t even know how you made it through your childhood.”
Susu was stunned. Even though she retained Su Erya’s memories, she couldn’t truly empathize with the original body’s experiences.
Pain is never truly felt until the whip falls on one’s own skin.
“Mom, it’s all in the past.”
“Ah…”
“Mom, I’m worried that the Su family won’t rest until they find Sanyi. Let’s find a time to send her to Provincial City. You can take Sanyi to the pickled goods shop.
First, there will be a place for her to live; second, she’ll have work to do, and Sanyi won’t dwell on her worries.”
“Alright, let’s wait until the day after tomorrow, Sunday. Your father and your second brother will both be home; otherwise, I won’t be at ease leaving you alone in the house.”
Susu nodded.
For several days of windy weather, Susu barely left the house except to use the restroom.
“Second brother, take good care of your wife while I’m away. I reckon I’ll be back around noon.”
Su Sanya, dressed in Mrs. Lu’s old jacket and cotton pants, had a face full of anticipation for Provincial City.
“Auntie, did my second sister really say that? If I go, as long as I work hard, I’ll get food, lodging, and a salary?”
“Yes, your second sister said she’ll give you 10 yuan a month.”
Su Sanya, fingering her fingertips, looked a bit troubled, “Auntie, isn’t the salary too much? I’d be happy just with food and lodging.”
“Auntie, when the time comes, can my second sister manage my money…”
“Old man, do you really think it’s useful for us to be squatting here? That girl Sanyi doesn’t have any money on her.”
After boarding the bus, Su Sanya curiously looked outside with keen interest.
“Ah!”
Hearing the scream, Mrs. Lu turned back to see the little girl curled up into a ball, shivering.
“What’s wrong, Sanyi?”
“Auntie, Auntie, I, I, I, I saw my parents.”
