Su Jing paid her no mind. Upon entering, she shut the door behind her and walked further in, turning to Gu Zi and said, “Cinside, sister-in-law. Everything that needed to be said has been clarified.”

Gu Zi, of course, didn’t utter another word and followed suit, stepping inside. Seeing the two women, one after the other, enter the house, with Su Jing showing no signs of intimidation from her threats, Mrs. Tian was left trembling with rage. She cursed under her breath and stormed off.

Inside the house, Gu Zi glanced outside before turning to Su Jing with a curious expression. “Are you really not planning on returning to the Tian family?” she asked.

Gu Zi was perplexed by the situation. Su Jing’s current demeanor clearly indicated a bias towards her maternal family, yet she hadn’t left the Tian family. Even the release of Tian Hai and Mr. Tian from prison was due to Su Jing’s plea to Su Shen.

Su Jing, her face devoid of any expression, murmured, “Return? Of course, I will return. Her words mean nothing. Now, the Tian family is under my control. I have people there to serve me, and even if they are reluctant, they have no choice but to do so.

“The day they refuse to cook, I’ll simply go to a restaurant, spend money, and shop. It’s wonderful! Seeingspend money will hurt them, and naturally, they will start cooking properly.”

It was only now that Su Jing realized the money Su Shen spent on her wasn’t meant to subsidize the Tian family’s household expenses. She shouldn’t have used it that way. That money was her backbone, given to her by her maternal family, to allow her to stand tall and live her life.

Tian Hai had dragged her along for so long, wasting her pryears and causing physical harm. Even if she couldn’t recover everything with interest now, she wouldn’t let the Tian family have it easy.

Now that Tian Hai was in a hurry to get married, it was her turn to drag him along. The Su family’s money couldn’t have been spent in vain supporting the Tian family for all these years. Moreover, the fact that Tian Hai and his father were released from prison was entirely due to her efforts.

Su Jing had thought about it. What was the point of letting them rot in prison? That wasn’t the most interesting form of revenge. It would only add a massive burden to Mrs. Tian, a foolish woman. Mrs. Tian was not innocent, but this burden shouldn’t be borne by her alone. None of the Tian family members, father, son, or mother, should be allowed to escape.

Gu Zi watched as Su Jing’s gaze gradually turned icy, sending a chill down her spine. She stared at Su Jing for a while before shifting her gaze to the eldest son.

She remembered the first tshe met the eldest son, his eyes were just like Su Jing’s now, dark and chilling, instilling fear deep within her. They truly were a family!

Gu Zi now understood. Su Jing’s decision to stay with the Tian family was likely driven by a desire for revenge, not because she still had feelings for Tian Hai, the scoundrel.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Zi spoke softly, “If you believe this will bring you satisfaction, I won’t discourage you. However, I do think it’s a waste of tto engage with such a lowlife. Think it over carefully. By the way, let’s have Four Joy Meatballs for dinner tonight. I’ll be counting on you, sister-in-law!”

Su Jing smirked, “You really know how to play the innocent. No wonder you have my brother wrapped around your finger.” With that, she rose and headed to the kitchen. Despite her words, she followed Gu Zi’s suggestion and began preparing the Four Joy Meatballs, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

The following day, while it was still dark outside, Gu Zi was already up and about. After freshening up, she went to wake Su Jing, only to find activity downstairs. Descending the stairs, she discovered that Su Jing was also awake, and had risen even earlier than her.

“I may not have overseen a memorial ceremony before,” Su Jing admitted, “but I’ve seen the villagers do it. I know the customs.”

Su Shen was still busy at the factory and hadn’t returned yet. The tfor the formal memorial ceremony was approaching, so the responsibility naturally fell on the two sisters-in-law. They had a busy day ahead.

First, they had to make over two hundred hollow fried sesballs. Then, they had to package a large quantity of prepared cookies, candies, and fruits. Finally, they had to prepare six main dishes for the memorial ceremony, three meat and three vegetable dishes.

When Gu Zi cdownstairs, she found Su Jing had already moved a large bag of glutinous rice flour to the kitchen and was about to dissolve ssugar in water. Seeing her method, Gu Zi quickly stopped her from pouring cold water into the sugar. “Is this your first tmaking sesballs? You don’t use cold water to dissolve sugar. You should use hot water. Sesballs made with sugar dissolved in cold water tend to burst open.”

Su Jing put down the water ladle, looking surprised. “Ah, I’ve always used cold water. Should I be using hot water?”

Touching the back of her head, Su Jing looked a bit sheepish. She remembered that many of the sesballs she had made at the Tian family’s house had indeed burst open. The first tshe made them, the sesballs had exploded as soon as they hit the hot oil.

Su Jing could still vividly recall the scene. The sesballs in the pot had shot out like bullets, spraying the ceiling and walls and creating chaos in the kitchen. She had received a harsh scolding from Tian Hai’s mother.
