Chapter 2 - Give This Old Aunty Her Dowry
Su Wan laid down and closed her eyes to get a better understanding of the previous owner's memory . She twirled the knife in her hand and realized that though it wasn't sharp enough to cut bones , it was still enough to scare those ' lovely precious ' family members who trapped the original owner . Just as she thought about those family members , sounds of footsteps and joyful laughter came from the opposite side of her door . Su Wan smiled and hid the knife in the sleeve of her wedding dress and watched as the lock opened and the door was pushed aside , while the previous owner's family members all filed in .
The first one was an old woman the Grandma of the original Su Wan , she was a shrew in nature and liked to bully the original Su Wan . Behind her was the poor excuse of her father Su Bai , who seduced Su Wan 's rich mother and married her for the sake of her dowry , beside him was his second wife , Chu Yanyu and their daughter Su Lan. ??
The original owner had a half brother as well but currently he was at the academy .
Su Wan glanced at the greedy faces and had this sudden urge to spit at each face , shameless truly shameless ! The entire family leeched off Su Wan 's mother's dowry and treated Su Wan as a servant? Pei ! How dare they
" Wan Wan , let's go your grooms are here " smiling in a nasty way Grandma Su walked towards her
Su Wan who noticed the ' s ' in the grooms cocked her brow and repeated " grooms ? What does this mean Grandma "
" Aiyo weren't you worried that the eldest Lin brother was a pauper ? So Grandma arranged your marriage with all the five Lin brothers , now you won't have to worry about food and clothing "
Su Wan who heard Grandma Su's reasoning nearly vomited , curse you old hag ! To think you want this old aunty to crush beneath five men ? Heavens did you take my drunken words seriously ? Do you want this old lady to die because of over use of her body or what ? Five men ? Five men !
" If this marriage is so good why don't you let Su Lan get married to those Lin brothers , after all aside from eating and sleeping Su Lan does nothing , it won't be much of a loss if she married those brothers " sneered Su Wan
The Su family members who never saw Su Wan retort was dumbstruck , especially Grandma Su who never thought Su Wan would refute her like this .
" What nonsense ! You are the one whose birth chart was exchanged how can we have Su Lan take your place?" said grandma Su as she strode forward to grab her wrist " Today even if you die , you will die as the Lin brothers wife !"
Su Wan whose wrist was clutched harsly by the old woman snapped and flinging out her right hand she placed the fruit knife right on the old woman's neck .
Grandma Su felt a cold metal followed by a sharp pain on her neck , she looked down surprised to see what happened only to find a sharp glint of knife mocking her coldly . Grandma Su who found herself at knife 's point was scared silly , she wanted to move but how could Su Wan allow this , the original owner's body was a bit weak if she lost this upper hand she will have nothing left ! Thus , she dug the knife deeper in Grandma Su 's neck and the other stilled like a frightened quail " I will advise you not move old hag , if you move my hand might slip and you will find yourself in front of king Yama next second "
" Help-"
" Don't scream !" shouted Su Wan when Su Lan tried to scream " I swear if anyone of you tried to pull anything , I will kill this old hag and then you all ! I already have nothing to lose , you bastards already ruined my reputation , I don't care if about breaking the pot further "
" Si- sister , how can you be so unfilial ?"
" unfilial ?" Su Wan laughed and dig the knife even more in Grandma Su 's neck though she made sure, she didn't hurt any major artery or vein " I worked as a slave in this house and what did it got me , a shameless marriage to five men with a huge fanfare as if you are afraid no one would no what shame I will face in my upcoming days , how dare you use the word unfilial , instead you all should be worried how you will answer the king of Yama if something happened to this old hag "
" Ah Bai , save me , save me this girl will kill me " Grandma Su saw the blood drip on her ceremonial clothing and was so scared that she nearly peed !
" Wan Wan let your grandma go and we can discuss -"
" There is nothing to discuss , the Su family has treated me like such , at first I thought you still had some humanity left but hehe " snorted Su Wan " but who knew it was only my foolish thinking , not only did you all forced me to marry a pauper , you are now forcing me to become a bride of five men , say how much money did you receive from them ? father dearest ?"
When Su Bai heard Su Wan 's question looking at him with those grape like eyes with no emotions he felt a bit scared . Chu Yanyu who saw this hurriedly pulled at her husband , she shook her head trying to tell Su Bai with her eyes that Su Wan was only scaring them and won't do a thing , only then Su Bai finally pulled himself " stop this nonsense and let your grandmother go !" with that Su Bai tried to enter Su Wan 's room but Su Wan wasn't scared she took two steps back and forced the old woman to follow her .
" You move any further and this old hag dies " threatened Su Wan as she slowly skinned a bit of flesh from Grandma Su 's face . Grandma Su whose skin was ripped off like an animal screamed like a bloody pig getting slaughtered
Su Bai stopped and Chu Yanyu was stunned as well , she didn't think that Su Wan would really dare to draw blood of her own grand mother .
" Su Wan !"
" Don't shout , I know what I'm called " said Su Wan casually throwing the skinned flesh right at Su Bai's feet who hurriedly scampered away " Don't think I'm calling a bluff here , I will seriously kill this old hag if you dare to move around as you please "
" Wan Wan lets discuss it nicely, what do you want ? We already have the villagers sitting in the courtyard and your grooms are here too " said Su Bai trying to coax Su Wan like a child
Su Wan sneered and casually trailed the knife around Grandma Su 's jaw " I want my mother's dowry all of it and the money you got from the Lin brothers for selling me , bring it all out "
" Impossible ! What dowry - there is nothing , nothing left !" flustered Chu Yanyu hurriedly spoke up
" Don't fool me Chu Yanyu, I know all those shops belong to my mother and you all just leeched off the money from them , even the restaurant belongs to my mother " said Su Wan digging the knife deeper in Grandma Su flesh " If you want to safe guard your money over your mother in law's life be my guest , I will just-"
She moved her hand but Grandma Su who was finally scared shitless until blood and pee dripped together from het body screamed " You slut bring all of those deed right now ! you want me to die ! I will kill you in your dreams if you let me die today ! And you Su Bai rein your wife is money more important or your mother !"
" You stupid woman bring all the deeds !" snarled Su Bai slapping Chu Yanyu, who finally realized that Su Wan wasn't kidding when she threatened to kill all of them .Su Bai loved money but he was scared of death what about money ? His son was still in the academy with him here , he can still live well !
Chu Yanyu has never been treated as such as was througly aggreived however when she saw Su Wan 's cold sneer she was really worried , she wanted to tug Su Lan away but how could Su Wan let her have a chance to turn things around?
" leave Su Lan here , if I hear anyone coming to help you - Su Lan will be the next to die once I'm finished with This old hag " warned Su Wan .
Su Lan was Chu Yanyu life how can she let her daughter ne wronged thus she honestly rushed and brought all the deeds and placed them in front of Su Wan .
" Bring these along and give me the money " said Su Wan who didn't want the ten silver taels to magically disappear when she reached the outer courtyard . She kept her hold on old Grandma Su who didn't dare to utter a peep , while Chu Yanyu and Su Bai helped her carry all the jewellery and deeds .
Behind her she could feel the pointed glare of Su Lan who had long ripped her handkerchief into shreds and smiled .
This life she will be the winner .
