Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 21

Ch 21: Tigerish

Su Junyao had nowhere to air his grievances. His mother had gotten older in recent years, and her actions were becoming increasingly disgusting.

She presented genuine gold and silver to Zheng Shi, and even protected Qiao Muyang like a precious treasure.

That one thousand taels had other uses, but his mother actually bypassed him and had the accounting office directly withdraw so much silver!

“Saving the urgent, not the poor, Mother, tell me, how could their family of two need one thousand taels to get through the winter!”

There was a snow disaster in the North, and the Imperial Court only allocated one hundred thousand taels for disaster relief, but his mother spent one thousand taels at once. He really should let his mother go to the snowy North to freeze her brain and sober up!

Madam Wen had finally regained consciousness, but this time there was still a disgusting metallic taste in her throat. Seeing that her eldest son was making her lose face in front of so many people, she wished she could faint again.

Her chest heaved violently, and the hand she pointed at Su Junyao began to tremble, looking like she was in bad shape.

Chou Chou stared unblinkingly at Madam Wen, never expecting that her grandmother was an even better actress than her cousin.

【Quickly pinch her philtrum, don’t let her faint. 】

【The landlord’s family has no surplus food, quickly make her spit out all the money she secretly subsidized her cousin over the years. 】

【Give me the money, I’ll spend it myself!】

Ding, money-grubber Chou Chou is online!

Su Xiucheng was tigerish, and before anyone could react, he actually rushed forward and pinched Madam Wen’s philtrum.

It was unclear whether this child felt sorry for his grandmother or his father’s money, but he was certainly using a lot of force.

From Su Junyao’s perspective, he could even see the fingernails digging into the flesh…

He stepped forward to pick up the little brat, and glanced at his mother’s pale face again. This time, she was probably really going to faint.

Su Xiucheng’s round, chubby face was full of confusion: “Dad, let go, Grandmother is about to faint.”

Madam Wen was breathing weakly. She really wanted to faint, but she couldn’t.

That little bastard is really ruthless!

Old Marquis Su was holding back his laughter. If he didn’t have to save his old wife some face, he wouldn’t have been able to stop himself from laughing out loud.

“Stop making a fuss!” He reprimanded his little grandson with a dark face, “Your grandmother is in poor health, how can she withstand your torment? Go and apologize to your grandmother!”

Su Xiucheng: “Grandmother, please forgive me, Xiucheng was reckless.”

Madam Wen’s philtrum was in pain. She touched it lightly and withdrew her hand. With the Old Marquis and her eldest son watching, she had no way to do anything.

She shook her head, looking like a loving grandmother, “Xiucheng is sincere, how could Grandmother blame you? You may step back, I have something to say to your father.”

Su Xiucheng: “Yes, Grandmother.”

He agreed nicely, but stopped moving at the door.

Madam Wen: “???”

Su Xiucheng was considered chubby among the family’s slender figures, which made him look the most honest and simple. He raised his face and smiled naively: “Grandmother, I’ll just wait here, it doesn’t matter. You can say what you want, and if it really doesn’t work, grandson will cover his ears.”

He covered his ears and blinked his eyes. If Madam Wen continued to be aggressive after he had gone this far, it would be her fault.

Madam Wen: This child is as unlikeable as his mother!

Chou Chou was satisfied to see her brother like this, and waved her little paws, attracting everyone’s attention.

【Quick, Chou Chou is in a hurry to go back and drink basin milk!】

An empty stomach is not conducive to growth. One cannot wrong one’s own stomach, no matter who is wronged!

Old Marquis Su deeply agreed, he couldn’t let his good granddaughter go hungry!

“Madam, quickly tell us what’s going on. While everyone is here today, let’s also clarify the whereabouts of the Mansion’s silver, otherwise it will be unclear later.”

He didn’t even give Madam Wen a chance to speak and directly called the people from the Second Branch and Third Branch.

The wives of these two branches were not as easy to talk to as the eldest daughter-in-law. If Madam Wen took money from the public account to subsidize Zheng Xiulan and her son, there would probably be a big scene.

Chou Chou didn’t yet know the seriousness of the matter and was thinking about the situation of the other two branches.

◈◈◈

The people of these two branches were supporting characters among the supporting characters in the book, appearing very rarely, but she remembered that none of them had a good ending.

Madam Wen glared at Zheng Xiulan, angry at her recklessness. If there was anything, she could have informed her privately. Now that she had made a big scene, if the Marquis investigated, the wealth she had given to them mother and son over the years would be enough to give them a hard time!

“Marquis, Zheng Xiulan and her son live in poverty, and I only have this one niece, so I inevitably favor her a little. They are just some worthless things, so there’s no need to have the people from the other two branches come over as well, right?”

Old Marquis Su stared at Madam Wen and knew that she must have done this kind of thing a lot when he saw her flustered.

He didn’t want to interfere before, but now it was different.

Chou Chou’s full moon banquet was in a few days, and as the only Little Miss of the Marquis Mansion, it would definitely be a grand affair.

Where would the money come from?

Naturally, some people would have to spit it out!

“Marquis?”

Madam Wen cast a pleading look, but before he could answer, a loud female voice came from outside: “What’s going on? I heard that the Marquis Mansion’s accounts don’t match up? Is someone embezzling?”

“Such a bold servant must be taught a good lesson!”

This person spoke with a strong voice, prompting Chou Chou to crane her neck to get a clear look.

【Cannon fodder is available every year, and my family has the most! Let me see who is the first male lead blood bag to come in!】

The person who came was the Third Madam, Liu Yueyao, the wife of Su Junyao’s younger brother, Su Wenqi. Despite her elegant name, she actually had heroic looks. She was originally the daughter of a pig butcher in the Capital, but because her eight characters were very compatible with the weak Third Master Su Wenqi, she married into the Marquis Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to Chou Chou, ignoring any etiquette and snatching Chou Chou from the Old Marquis’s arms, kissing her twice on the face.

Chou Chou had a red lipstick mark on each cheek, which directly made the social butterfly baby socially anxious.

【Family, who understands, I was not held by my grandfather and was molested!】

Liu Yueyao and Su Wenqi had been married for many years but still had no children, supposedly because the Third Master’s body was not well.

“It’s all the Eldest Sister-in-law’s fault, giving birth to such a cute little girl but not letting us see her. I went three times and didn’t see anyone, today I finally saw my little darling.”

She affectionately rubbed Chou Chou, but Chou Chou had never seen such a familiar person and was so scared that she widened her eyes and didn’t dare to move, like a rag doll.

Su Wenqi felt a strange murderous aura rising in the room and gently touched his wife’s arm: “Quickly return the child to Eldest Brother.”

Didn’t she see that his Eldest Brother was about to eat someone!

Liu Yueyao glanced at her cold-faced Eldest Brother-in-law and wasn’t afraid of him, but thinking that she was here to discuss serious matters, she reluctantly returned Chou Chou.

“Little darling, Aunt will go to Jingxin Yuan to see you later.”

Chou Chou tried hard to wipe the cold sweat from her face, but her little arms wouldn’t listen and couldn’t lift up.

She drooped her eyelids: 【Too enthusiastic. Maybe next time, it’s kind of scary. 】

Liu Yueyao was full of love when she faced Chou Chou, and even lowered her voice by three points. But she didn’t have such a good temper with others.

She kicked over the stool next to Old Marquis Su, and in front of everyone, she directly grabbed Zheng Xiulan’s collar and dragged her all the way to Madam Wen, pressing her head to kowtow three times to Madam Wen.

“I heard on the way here that you made Mother so angry that she vomited blood, quickly apologize to Mother!”

The Su family members were used to it, but Chou Chou, who had never seen the world: 【My Third Aunt is really fierce!】
