Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Give Me My Silver Back
Sharp and utterly unscrupulous, “You wretched old man, what right do you have to speak here!” The moment these words were uttered, even the always gentle Bai Linger was shocked beyond belief, unable to imagine someone daring to be so rude to their own father-in-law.
Jiang Xunzhong’s cheeks swelled red with anger, like a tomato baked under the scorching sun. This was not the first time Fang Qin had shown such contempt and disregard towards him.
In his mind echoed the early morning advice of Fourth Lady, and he realized that his weakness was dragging the entire Jiang Family into a quagmire.
Thus, a long-suppressed fury erupted like a volcano, his hand rising and landing heavily on Fang Qin’s cheek, accompanied by a crisp sound, as if the air itself had solidified.
“You… how dare you strike me?”
Fang Qin’s hand trembled as she covered her face, her eyes filled with disbelief as if what had just occurred was beyond her understanding.
Jiang Xunzhong straightened his back and responded with a ferocious aura, “As your father-in-law, if I hear another disrespectful word from you, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Despite his words, the slight trembling of his fingertips betrayed his inner struggle and pain.
Bai Linger stood by, dumbstruck by the sudden conflict, and hastily stepped back, fearing she would be dragged into the family storm.
Fang Qin, utterly intimidated by Jiang Xunzhong’s slap, extinguished her defiant spirit on the spot. Without further entanglement, she glared at everyone resentfully, turned, and stormed out, heading straight for Jiang Ziling’s residence.
Her steps were quick and decisive, each one sounding with finality, as though declaring her dissatisfaction and rage to the world.
She calculated in her heart that she must confront Su Yu and reclaim those two taels of silver, no matter what.
In her view, since Bai Linger had said it was a common item during postpartum care, it certainly couldn’t be a rare treasure, and two taels of silver was utterly absurd.
At this moment, within Jiang Ziling’s dwelling, Su Yu was discussing with him the plans to see patients at Spring Hall, the atmosphere calm and harmonious.
Su Yu suddenly mentioned that the day after tomorrow was auspicious and planned to scatter the newly purchased vegetable seeds in the fields tomorrow, to take advantage of the abundant summer rains and seize the optimal planting season.
Thinking of tasting the vegetables nurtured by their own land, her heart couldn’t help but swell with warm and sweet anticipation.
However, Jiang Ziling disagreed, looking at Su Yu’s delicate hands with compassion, insisting, “A young woman like you, with such tender skin, how can I bear to let you toil in the fields? Wait until my leg is healed, I will take care of it.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu let out a soft scoff, her eyes showing a trace of helplessness, “Big brother, a broken bone needs a hundred days’ rest. Your leg will need at least half a year to heal. Are we to sit idly and use up our reserves?” In the face of Jiang Ziling’s continued attempts to persuade, she firmly interrupted, “You’re currently incapacitated, so how can you manage me? Better save your efforts.”
Seeing her stubbornness, Jiang Ziling could only shake his head helplessly, “Farming is a man’s job, why should you, a woman, make things so hard for yourself?” Su Yu remained unconvinced, “The fields are already ploughed. I’m just scattering seeds and covering them with soil; it’s not much effort. Besides…”
Her words were cut off as the door was suddenly and violently knocked upon, with Fang Qin’s shrill and cursing voice piercing through, “You wretched woman, how dare you cheat me, come out here!”
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and quickly cautioned Jiang Ziling, “Don’t move around, be careful with your leg.”
She slowly opened the door, arms folded across her chest, her gaze cold and scrutinizing as she looked down upon the ranting Fang Qin outside, her eyes full of disdain and contempt for such behavior.
Under Su Yu’s uncompromising stare, Fang Qin’s momentum involuntarily shrunk, and even her words became stammered, “You… you charged me two taels of silver for that black ointment, which is clearly not worth a penny, give me back my silver!”
Su Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile that carried a hint of mockery and ease, as if the contention before her was nothing more than trivial daily pettiness, “So this is all the ability you have,” she said softly, her tone filled with contempt, “The thing was originally mine, yet you took it upon yourself to take it away, so I say it’s worth whatever I say it’s worth.”
Fang Qin’s face reddened with anger, and her voice trembled as she questioned, “You… you said that after taking that medicine, I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed my child, you deceived me…”
“Indeed, I did!”
Su Yu admitted unabashedly, a sly glint flashing in her eyes, “I meant to deceive you. If I didn’t, would you willingly compensate me?”
Confronted with Su Yu’s direct admission, Fang Qin was left speechless.
After a long pause, she managed to spit out, “You vicious woman!”
Su Yu parried the accusation with casual indifference, the playful smile still lingering on her lips, “How dare I claim such a title, I’m still lacking compared to the old witch of your family.”
These words pierced Fang Qin’s heart like a thorn, leaving her lips trembling uncontrollably with rage.
Meanwhile, Su Yu inquired at a leisurely pace, “Is there anything else? If not, I’m going to close the door. Bother me again in the middle of the night, and I won’t show any mercy. As for whether your son will be able to sleep peacefully, I can’t guarantee that.”
With a dull thud, “bang,” the door was shut tightly, leaving Fang Qin alone outside, hopping with fury.
At this moment, Bai Linger, who was standing by, tried to calm her, “Don’t be so angry it makes you sick. What exactly happened? What are you doing here? They say you stole something, what exactly did you steal?”
Fang Qin was incensed by the barrage of questions, her anger flaring, “It’s none of your business! Give me back my silver; my Dazhuang doesn’t care at all for your breast milk!”
Having been deceived by Su Yu, Fang Qin decided she would no longer tolerate it. There was no need for Dazhuang to suffer this indignity any longer—her words carried a sense of resolve and coldness.
Bai Linger was surprised by the sudden change in Fang Qin’s demeanor, so different from her previous image of vulnerability and tears.
She sneered, not one to be pushed around. The money she had obtained was not going to be easily relinquished.
“Now you say you don’t care for it, but what were you doing at the beginning? Expecting me to return the silver? Keep dreaming! Hasn’t your eldest son ever drunk a drop of my milk?”
“You dare to pretend in front of me after doing something shameful? Do you really think of yourself as a saint?”
“I’m not serving you anymore!”
Bai Linger’s words had barely left her lips before she turned and walked away, leaving Fang Qin with a resolute back.
As for the new bride of Jiang Ziling, Bai Linger did not know her well, but having seen her today, it was evident that Fang Qin was no simple character.

At this point, Fang Qin found herself reaping the bitter fruits of her own making, failing twice in her challenge to authority, a pain slicing through her heart like a knife.
Returning to that drafty, dilapidated shack, she took out all her rage on Jiang Youfu, beating and kicking him just to ease the frustration in her heart.
