Chapter 552: Chapter 556 My Grandson is the Villain (Part 3)

Su Li replied indifferently, "I won’t die just yet."

Luo Rujiang, sensitive as always, detected a change in his old mother’s demeanor, icy and more alien than usual, which somewhat panicked him.

A child can inherently sense when the attitude of those closest to them changes.

Previously, he knew his mother was somewhat soft-hearted; always shielding his wife and sometimes frustrated by his failings.

But however annoyed she might have been, whatever anger she felt, she still considered his interests.

At most, he would try to smooth things over with an apologetic word, placating his mother, and then the matter would pass.

But now, that feeling was gone; in his mother’s eyes, he saw only indifference, as if she had truly expelled him from her heart, no longer caring about him at all.

Was it fair to say that Luo Rujiang was inherently sensitive to people’s emotions?

It was precisely because of this that he had taken advantage of the original owner’s motherly love to act recklessly.

The younger brother below him also followed suit, along with a few grandsons -- a whole house of men, yet not one of them commendable.

Anxious for a while, Luo Rujiang nevertheless did not forget the reason he had sneaked in.

He grinned as he approached Su Li and mockingly massaged her shoulders, lamenting, "Mom, don’t be angry. Tang Yilan really has some nerve, even daring to pocket the household money and send it to her parents."

"Just now, I went back and scolded her properly; she’s in the room crying now, she knows she was wrong, and she definitely won’t dare do it again..."

Su Li glanced at Luo Rujiang with a half-smile, making his goosebumps involuntarily emerge.

"Tang Yilan is so bold, isn’t she just encouraged by you?"

Luo Rujiang confessed, "Mom, it’s all my fault... I promise, if next time she dares again, I’ll immediately divorce her and send her back to her family to let her thoroughly stick with her own parents and siblings."

As per usual habits, whenever Luo Rujiang resorted to such threats, the original owner, however angry, would just let things slide and then rack her brains for a solution.

How could dealing with such worries not age a person?

Unfortunately, the word ’sympathy’ was not in the dictionary of Demon King Su.

Moreover, having given birth to a son who only bedeviled his own mother was worse than having a piece of barbecued pork.

Su Li said lightly, "I understand. You can go back now."

Luo Rujiang, not receiving the response he hoped for, grew somewhat impatient, "Mom, about this matter... I think it’s better if the rest of the family doesn’t find out."

Su Li raised an eyebrow, asking, "By your logic, when they ask where the money went, how should I answer?"

"You know the situation; so many mouths at home expecting this money to buy food to fill their bellies."

Seeing that his mother was not playing along this time, Luo Rujiang felt uncomfortable, his voice carrying a trace of irritation, "You must still have some private money, right? Just use that to cover it. Yilan knows she was wrong; she promised me there won’t be a next time. Mom, please forgive her this time."

Suddenly, Su Li laughed, "I indeed have a ’good’ son..."

This bizarre reaction deeply startled Luo Rujiang.

His earlier impatience dissolved instantly, and he softened, clinging closer, "Mom, we truly know we were wrong this time. Please forgive us once more."

"If the second brother and his wife really find out, it might lead to unrest at home... I know you wouldn’t want to see the family reach that point, right?"

"Dad’s biggest wish was for the family to live in harmony, all of us together..."

The more Luo Rujiang spoke, even he didn’t notice the subtle threat that crept into his voice.

"Get out of here now."

In the end, Luo Rujiang did not receive a definitive response from his mother.

After reprimanding the piece of char siu pork, Su Li slowly reclined back onto the bed.

The Spiritual Energy around her frantically surged into her body, gradually healing its myriad of afflictions.

Ever since she realized the power of Rule Power, Su Li felt her cultivation speed had increased significantly.

There was no need for additional meditation, as her every gesture and movement, every word, embodied cultivation.

------------------

Luo Rujiang, disheartened, left Su Li’s door and returned to the main house. As soon as he stepped in, Tang Yilan pulled him over and swiftly closed the door.

"How did it go, Mom agreed, right?" Tang Yilan asked softly.

She was well aware of her fault, treating her husband with unusual tenderness.

After enjoying his wife’s rare gentleness for a while, Luo Rujiang muttered, "No, Mom didn’t say anything."

"What do you mean she didn’t say anything?"

"It means she didn’t agree, but she didn’t disagree either."

Tang Yilan suddenly became irate, "Mom, really, you know she will ultimately depend on us, the main family. Why hide her private money..."

"She just can’t part with that money."

"What should we do now?"

Although Tang Yilan had a fiery temper, she was somewhat intimidated by her sister-in-law’s sharp tongue.

Provoked by his wife’s words, Luo Rujiang also felt resentful towards his mother and said angrily, "If she really wants to see her sons fall out, let her keep her private money."

Hearing her husband’s words, Tang Yilan’s mood calmed down.

She knew her mother-in-law cared deeply about family harmony, and she wouldn’t want to see such discord.

But that evening, Tang Yilan was proven wrong.

They had misjudged the original owner’s character, but now, with Su Li in their midst, she simply did not care.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "the son bears the debts of the mother." Su Li still harbored resentful energy towards the wily old lady, and she felt that not agitating these unworthy descendants was already a massive act of conscience on her part.

At dinner time, smoke rose from the kitchens of the neighboring houses and the scent of food wafted into the noses of the Luo Family members.

However, at this time, the Luo’s dining table was still utterly bare.

Not to mention tasty grains, there wasn’t even tough wild vegetables or coarse grains available.

The youngest ones, who couldn’t stand hunger, started to fuss early.

Yuan Ling held her young son and tried to comfort him, glaring at her husband, "Luo Ruhe, go ask Mom what’s going on, why hasn’t dinner started yet, we’ve not even bought any groceries."

"My son can’t take the hunger anymore."

Luo Ruhe, the second son of the Luo family, also filled with anger, stood up to look for his mother.

At this moment, Luo Rujiang and Tang Yilan came out from their room. Seeing the situation, they were startled and asked, "Didn’t Mom go to buy groceries today?"
