The old woman concurred with him in her thoughts, contemplating how to get her daughter-in-law out first and then deal with her when she returned.
She said, “Su Shen, Chu Xi is at most just a little too greedy for some money.
She would never do something as heinous as poisoning someone. There must be a misunderstanding. Maybe someone used her!”
After she finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Gu Zi, insinuating that Gu Zi had nefarious intentions, wanting to harm the children through a proxy.
Su Shen shielded Gu Zi behind him and retorted sternly, “The police will uncover the truth, and I’ll fulfill my duty. I will reclaim all the money Chu Xi stole that wasn’t part of her salary.”
Gu Zi couldn’t help but want to applaud. The way this man defended her and her family was incredibly impressive.
The old woman fumed, stamping her feet irrationally, and exclaimed, “Su Shen, why must you do this?! Look at your child. He’s perfectly fine.”o
As she spoke, she glanced at the courtyard, and Su Li’s head shrank back.

Gu Zi was at a loss for words. Why did everything seem to revolve around her? Their logic was simply outrageous. Could someone be forgiven simply because their attempt to harm another failed?
Moreover, Su Li was hospitalized. His health was already delicate, and now it had become even worse. How could they claim that he was fine?
Gu Zi immediately walked in and called Su Li out. She held the hospital bill in her hand.
“Come and take a good look. Is this your idea of ‘fine’?”
Su Li’s lips were ashen, and his face was still pale.
Overnight, his body had grown significantly thinner, like a paper figurine.
She then presented the hospital bill and pointed to the charges listed on it.
The two old men were shocked when they saw the cost. The Su family wouldn’t ask their family to pay for this, right?o
Su Shen’s brows knitted tightly, his handsome features growing cold and menacing, conveying his disinclination to speak further.
“You’re the ones who have lost your minds! Gu Zi is my wife. Su Bing, Su Li, and
Su Le are my children. They are my family. I won’t let anyone who harms my family go unpunished. If you don’t leave, I’ll release the dog.”
As everyone in the village knew, Su Shen’s Tibetan Mastiff was notably fierce. Many thieves in the area refrained from targeting the Su family precisely because of this Tibetan Mastiff.
Upon hearing Su Shen’s tone, they did not dare to not believe he would set the beast upon them!
“Su Shen, you… You don’t even recognize your family! ”
After saying this, the two elderly men didn’t dare to linger any longer and departed from the Su family’s doorstep, leaving in a somewhat embarrassed state.
He actually said that she was his wife. Was she already his wife? And family!
She gazed at Su Shen, finding his charisma irresistible.
Moreover, in the face of such an irrational situation, his resolve was unwavering. Gu Zi wholeheartedly approved of his approach. Once more, she felt that she had found a treasure.
Back at Chu Xi’s house, Chu Xi’s parents-in-law pushed open the door angrily but didn’t spot Chu Tian anywhere.
They both sighed heavily. It was utterly futile! She must’ve retreated into the
nouse co cry.

If Chu Xi did end up in jail, how could their family maintain any dignity in Daqing Village? Wouldn’t they be scorned by everyone?
That useless daughter-in-law was driving them insane!
And that vixen! She was really something else. She had enchanted Su Shen.
The old man’s face darkened. After a long pause, he said, “I think I know someone who can help us. We’ll go to the city to find her tomorrow morning.”
Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately understood whom he was referring to. This person could not only rescue Chu Xi but also help their family teach that city vixen a lesson…
In the city, at the Golden Sun Hotel,
The Gong family had invited the Gu family for dinner to discuss the upcoming marriage between their children.
Gong Xin was extremely reluctant to attend, but her parents insisted on bringing her along. They argued that it was the first time they were inviting her formally, and it would be impolite if the whole family didn’t attend.
She had no choice but to comply, and her forlorn expression irked her mother, Ms. Chen.
“This is your future sister-in -law,” Mrs. Chen whispered to her daughter.
“Build a good relationship with her, okay?”
Gong Xin rolled her eyes. “Mom, as long as my brother gets along with her, that’s all that matters. I’m not the one that’s getting married to her..”o
