Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading

Chapter 159: Forcing Wang Chunhua to Sign the Break-up Letter

After realizing who Chen Xiaoniu just called "Dad," Liu Cuilan’s face darkened.

When she looked up, she met with the even darker face of Village Chief Chen.

Both of them had faces as black as though they were competing to play Bao Zheng.

Liu Cuilan awkwardly twitched her lips and gave the village chief a polite yet embarrassed smile: "Good morning, Village Chief."

Good morning, my foot. He wasn’t feeling good at all.

If anyone dared call him dad again, he’d beat them to death.

But Chen Xiaoniu didn’t mind his own father’s mood at all and ran over excitedly to Su Xiaoxiao, calling out again: "Dad."

Village Chief Chen’s face grew darker, and he began furiously pressing on his philtrum.

He could see it; sooner or later, this unfilial son would send him packing.

Soon, someone helped call Wang Chunhua over.

Upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao, Wang Chunhua snorted coldly. What kind of nonsense is this girl up to now?

Last time, she couldn’t control Xiaoxiao’s marriage, but this time, she was determined to handle Su Wenbing’s wedding herself.

She understood that with the eldest dead, the remaining family were all ungrateful. They never thought of her, the grandmother, when good things happened.

In that case, she might as well think of ways to get more benefits.

With this thought, she winked at her second son, Su Jianjun, behind her.

Su Jianjun immediately stepped forward: "Village Chief, I don’t know why you called us here this time?"

After speaking, he seemed to just notice Liu Cuilan and the daughter: "Sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao, you’re here too."

Village Chief Chen tapped his tobacco pipe on the table, took out a piece of paper, and started writing.

Wang Chunhua could only recognize a few large characters, so she poked Su Jianjun beside her, signaling him to go see what the village chief was writing.

Su Jianjun had studied for two years and could barely recognize a few characters: "Break-up letter? What’s this?"

Because of the dowry issue before, Village Chief Chen didn’t have a good impression of these two, and he spoke in an indifferent tone: "The Cuilan family wants to sever ties with you. This is the break-up letter. Once you sign, you’ll have no relationship."

"What? What do you mean ’no relationship’?"

Wang Chunhua’s eyes widened, pointing at Liu Cuilan: "I’m her mother-in-law, her children’s grandmother, and she wants to sever ties with me? Is she thinking that I’m old and useless and wants to kick me out?"

"Alright, Liu Cuilan, you heartless creature, how dare you treat me like this?"

Su Xiaoxiao signaled her two younger brothers behind her with a wink, and they immediately held Su Jianjun from both sides.

Lately, the family had been eating well, and they often tagged along with Su Xiaoxiao for late-night snacks, growing taller quickly.

Now, they were big and strong, and for the moment, Su Jianjun couldn’t break free.

Su Xiaoxiao and her mother, Liu Cuilan, each grabbed one side and directly dragged Wang Chunhua to the table, using her hand to press down on the paper.

"Are you crazy? You ungrateful things, I’m still your grandmother!"

Wang Chunhua struggled desperately, but she was no match for the two of them.

"Soon, you won’t be."

Su Xiaoxiao seized her hand and pressed it on the break-up letter, then swiftly pressed her own fingerprint.

The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Alright, the break-up letter takes effect immediately. From today, your two families have no connection. From now on, life and death, illness and health, are irrelevant."

Wang Chunhua was stunned: "Village Chief, can’t you see it’s forced?"

As she spoke, she reached out, trying to snatch the break-up letter back, but Su Xiaoxiao quickly dodged and stuffed it into her pocket.

Wang Chunhua grabbed at nothing, almost losing her balance and falling face-first.

"What break-up letter? I don’t recognize it. You forced me to sign it just now. I’m going to the police to report you."

Su Xiaoxiao imitated the villain’s expression from TV dramas, showing a sinister smile: "Grandma, no, I should now call you Auntie. The police only recognize the break-up letter and nothing else. It doesn’t matter how you signed it; it’s effective now. From now on, you and Second Uncle’s family have nothing to do with us."

Su Xiaoxiao had already guessed that Wang Chunhua would refuse to sign, so she came up with this tricky idea.

"Alright, Jianwen, Jianwu, you two should go to school now."

Su Xiaoxiao called out to them, and the two younger brothers immediately released Su Jianjun.

Su Xiaoxiao had to rush to work and didn’t have time to argue with them, so she dragged Liu Cuilan and left.

Su Jianjun just wanted to stop them when he saw his own mother rolling her eyes and directly fainting.

Su Xiaoxiao handed the break-up letter to Liu Cuilan and hurriedly waved at her: "Mom, keep this safe. I have to rush to work."

With that said, she hopped on a bicycle and sped away.

Liu Cuilan watched her leave and couldn’t help feeling like her child had suddenly grown up overnight. Her youngest was becoming more capable.

Su Xiaoxiao, as usual, just made it to the department store on time today.

Regarding yesterday’s voting issue, Xu Cuilan, under Su Xiaoxiao’s guidance, had already reorganized everyone to re-vote, and now only Xiaoxiao’s vote was left.

After glancing around, Su Xiaoxiao unhesitatingly cast the final vote for Zhang Yulan.

In the end, Zhang Yulan was successfully elected as the outstanding salesperson of the month, her smile broad and uncontainable.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, Zhang Yulan was especially enthusiastic: "Xiaoxiao, if it weren’t for you, I might not have been chosen as the outstanding salesperson. When I get my bonus, I’ll treat you to dinner at the state-run restaurant."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand: "Sister Zhang, it’s all because of your hard work. I just added a little icing on the cake."

Zhang Yulan rummaged through her bag and pulled out a steaming meat bun: "Xiaoxiao, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? This is for you."

Su Xiaoxiao intended to decline, but she hadn’t had the time for breakfast this morning, and her eyes lit up at the sight of the meat bun.

Zhang Yulan shoved the meat bun into her hands: "Hurry up and eat, we’re opening soon."

Holding the steaming meat bun, Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned red: "Sister Zhang, you’re just like my real sister."

"It’s just a meat bun, look how excited you are. With our relationship, it’s nothing."

"Eat slowly, don’t choke."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously and devoured the meat bun, finally catching her breath.

Getting up early to outwit Wang Chunhua and then biking here in a hurry had worn her out.

No, when she finishes work today, she’s definitely going to treat herself to some good food.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, a line of bold red text appeared before her eyes: "New braised flavor shop opening promotion, various duck products for only twelve coins per pound."

Her eyes lit up immediately; it was like a pillow when sleepy.

With two minutes left before opening, she quickly crouched under the counter and ordered five pounds of duck products.

Feeling satisfied, she began her work.

As soon as she stood behind the counter, a sharp, sour voice sounded in her ear.
