Counter-Accusation Incident

But who would have thought, upon hearing Mrs. Sun's words, Su Li smiled with a hint of mockery: "The Flower family asked you to help sell vegetables? Third Aunt, do you really believe what you just said?"

Mrs. Sun awkwardly smiled, rubbing her hands nervously: "Of course I believe it, why wouldn't I? What I said is absolutely true."

Su Sanyun, however, frowned and said, "Wife, just now the little servants and maids from Lily's family acted out a play. From what I heard, it sounded like you and the little brother-in-law teamed up to snatch their territory and even threatened them not to tell anyone. Tell me honestly, what’s going on?"

Mrs. Sun exclaimed, "Oh, it was just a play, don’t take it seriously. I've been married to you for so many years, wholeheartedly living with you, how could I possibly lie to you!"

But Su Sanyun was no longer fooled by Mrs. Sun. Su Li was clever enough to call them over and even stage such a scene. It had to be because Mrs. Sun really did something wrong; otherwise, why create such a fuss out of nowhere?

Su Sanyun looked at Mrs. Sun with a gradually cold gaze: "Wife, I usually trust you in everything, but this matter is serious. You can’t lie to me. Tell me the truth, did you forcibly take over the Flower family’s land?"

"No, I didn’t, really didn’t! It was the Flower family who asked me to help sell vegetables. I didn’t forcibly take their land!" Mrs. Sun waved her hands vigorously, stubbornly denying it.

"Really not?" Su Sanyun’s face turned even colder.

"Really not!" Mrs. Sun said, "That couple from the Flower family are so malicious. I’m sure they’re just holding a grudge over our argument, digging a trap to deceive and harm me! They told me face-to-face to help sell vegetables, but then turned around to complain to Lily, accusing me of forcibly taking their land. The Flower couple are too cunning and despicable! Lily, you shouldn’t do business with people like them! If you ask me, just kick them out. There are plenty of villagers wanting to sell vegetables but have no land!"

Mrs. Sun grew increasingly smug, convinced her excuse was flawless as she dumped all the blame on the Flower family.

But who knew that at this moment, when Aunt and Uncle Flower heard Mrs. Sun suggest kicking them out, they immediately panicked. They thought, "Our livelihood is at stake, why hold back? Let’s fight back!"

The two rushed out from the side room. Aunt Flower pointed at Mrs. Sun’s nose and cursed, "You shameless old harlot twisting facts! Who asked you to help sell vegetables? It’s obviously you bullying us, using your relation to Lily as Third Aunt to forcibly take our land!"

"Right, Lily, don’t believe her. Mrs. Sun is blinded by money and talking nonsense! How could we neglect our own land? We’re selling well!" Uncle Flower chimed in to back her up.

Mrs. Sun never expected that the Flower couple had been hiding in the side room all along, meaning they heard everything she said just now.

Mrs. Sun immediately became furious and shamelessly turned the tables: "You shameless couple! I only insulted Aunt Flower a few times, is that so malicious that you set a trap to scheme against me? When you begged me to help sell vegetables, you acted so humble, begging and pleading. And what happened? I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted to help our neighbors and you. I was helping white wolves, and now you’re biting me back! Have you no conscience? I know you’re just jealous because I’m related to Lily, and you can’t stand to see our family doing well! Hmph, maybe you even want to drive a wedge between our family and Lily’s, so Lily will kick us out and you can take over our land!"
