Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Change a Brother-in-law

Little sister Su widened her large, lively eyes and shrank back, afraid that she would say something wrong and make her big sister unhappy. “Brother-in-law refused it, so I just gave him the money and ran away.”

It was not strange that Zhou Hengyang refused to take the money.

“It’s okay, as long as you’ve given it to him.” As for the male protagonist, she still wanted to win him over. In any case, she couldn’t let the manipulative female protagonist take advantage of him. She knew that this was a huge gold mine, and would be a fool not to grab tightly on to it.

Su Wen’s heart softened as she looked at the dark, thin, and ragged little sister Su. When she thought about how little sister Su was sold by Zhao Jiangang for 100 yuan in the book, she couldn’t help but dote on her like her own sister.

The six younger sisters of the Su family were really pitiful. They lost their mother when they were young, and then their father passed away.

Their grandparents and aunts and uncles were not good people. Big sister was not useful and had invited a miscreant into the family. One by one, they ended up in such circumstances. The names of the fifth, sixth, and seventh sisters were not even mentioned before they died.

As Su Wen was the first child, she must have received the most attention. The second child, Su Qing, was similarly alright. The names of the third child, Su Xiu, and the fourth child, Su Xue, were randomly chosen. Later on, because they were all girls, their grandmother, who valued boys over girls, didn’t even allow them names. She proclaimed that she would only name them when a boy was born.

They let them be known as fifth sister, sixth sister, and little sister.

Little sister Su sat on the stool and wriggled uneasily. She thought that her big sister was acting weird that day. She had never looked at her that way before, let alone pulled her over to speak to her.

But she was really happy that day! Finally, she could run errands for her big sister. She was no longer a burden to the family.

Recently, little sister Su had been very scared. She didn’t even dare to shut her eyes when she slept at night, afraid that her big sister would sell her for money, despising her for only taking and not giving anything.

“Big sister, you gave the money to my brother-in-law. What is going to happen to you?”

“You’re afraid that we don’t have money to eat?”

“No,” little sister Su stammered. “That’s the betrothal money you were planning to use to get Zhao Jiangang to be the live-in son-in-law. You won’t have any more money if you give it to him.”

Although little sister Su was only six years old, she was a clever and mischievous little girl.

Su Wen was beside herself. She wanted to curse when she thought about how the original character had already negotiated the dowry with matchmaker Zhao from the neighboring village. Such a despicable act… She must be blind to have done this.

Zhao Jiangang was matchmaker Zhao’s nephew. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was something amiss. Yet the original character agreed to it under the instigation of the manipulative female protagonist and her second aunt.

She must have been possessed and didn’t even know that she was being sabotaged. In the end, the Su family was harmed by Zhao Jiangang to such a great extent, and no one in the village helped them. It was related to this matter. It was because the original character’s reputation was so bad that no one was willing to help.

From this, it could be seen how important a good reputation and popularity were in the countryside of this era.

“Big sister, what’s wrong with you?”

“Let me ask you.” Su Wen took a deep breath. “What do you think about my plan to change your brother-in-law to someone else?”

“If Big sister wants to change, so of course I’ll support you.” Little sister Su clenched her fists and agreed with her. “I’ll listen to everything you say, Big sister.”

Su Wen finally found the reason why the male protagonist was so cold to everyone in the Su family.

Su Wen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she ruffled little sister Su’s hair. Little sister Su was so happy that she looked as though she was a cat that got the cream.

She was really happy that day!

As the two of them were talking, Su Xiu returned. She was wearing a straw hat and patchwork clothes. She was tanned and scrawny, and did not look like a young girl at all. An adult man could earn ten work points a day, but Su Xiu could only earn four.

The original character’s money was probably the money their father left behind before he died.
