Chapter 359: Ignorance and Greed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shi Caiyue was the kind of woman to covet what was not hers. Who knew what schemes she cooked up in her mind? People were tools, expendable, and whose only use was to generate profit. They were worthless otherwise.
Thinking back to the novel in which Little Sister Su was sold for a mere 100 yuan, it was hard for Su Wen not to hate her.
100 yuan! These people were ignorant, vicious, and heartless. It would not have been so bad if she were ignorant, but since she knew, she could not stand by and watch Shi Caiyue commit countless evil deeds. Shi Caiyue had caused many women and children to live miserable lives, ruining their lives and tearing apart families.
She had to do something.
Originally, she had only treated this life she lived as an extension of the story she had once read. However, after spending time together, Su Wen’s thoughts changed.
She was living in the real world. It was her new reality.
Ah! If only Zhou Hengyang were around. If he were here, Shi Caiyue would not be so annoying.
Forget it; there was no point crying over what-ifs. She would ask her younger sister to call Shen Erkui tomorrow to discuss the matter. At present, he was the only reliable person around.
Su Xuewen had been right in that regard. Shen Erkui was reliable.
Su Wen stared at the starry sky, her thoughts flitting to many things. She fantasized about the future when mankind roamed the stars and explored the Milky Way, conquering the known universe and entering a new era. A voice, barely more than a whisper, interrupted her reverie.
Despite how soft he had tried to sound, it was a man’s voice – there could be no mistaking it. Had she been anywhere but the courtyard, Su Wen knew she would have probably missed it, let alone if she had fallen asleep.
It frightened her, causing her hair to stand on end. She slipped to the courtyard wall, her feet padding silently across the compact dirt. She mustered her courage and pricked her ears.
Unbeknownst to Su Wen, Tian Gang and Tian Yong, the two brothers, were on the other side of the wall, having sent Shi Caiyue and Su Xuefang away to act as scouts. One was stationed at the village entrance, while the other hid in the tall grass outside Su Wen’s house. Should anyone drop by, they would be the first to know.
Most importantly, Tian Yong did not want Su Xuefang to learn of his dirty thoughts. He had controlled Su Xuefang for so many years because he was careful; he never allowed her to discover how he had dalliances with other men and women.
“Let’s climb over the wall and enter.” Tian Gang stood under the wall, looking up. “I’ll take the lead. We’ll do as we discussed. Your job is to get rid of Su Wen; she’ll be in the westernmost room. I’ll capture the two youngest girls of the Su family.”
Shi Caiyue had always harbored evil intentions toward the Su family. Since she had decided to take action, she might as well get the most out of it. Once she got what she wanted, all she needed to do was leave Clear Water County. Who would be able to catch her, then?
With Sixth Sister’s looks, whether sold as a child bride or forced into sex work, Shi Caiyue was certain she could get a lot of money.
This was her true goal.
All those present had different goals. Tian Yong had come with dirty thoughts aimed at Su Wen. Su Xuefang wanted her niece’s bicycle, while Shi Caiyue had her eyes set on acquiring Sixth Sister.
Su Wen had ruined her plans and prevented her from making money in Clear Water County. Now, she had no choice but to look further afield, wearing a disguise to hide her identity. Sixth Sister’s capture would be her vengeance.
“No!” Tian Yong objected. “It’s too dangerous to kidnap both of them at once..
What if someone discovers us?”
