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

Chapter 180: Liu Cuilan Fights

"This is our family business, none of your damn business."

Zhang Guifang’s face stretched into a donkey face as she looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "I’m just saying a few words to your Grandma, I’ll leave right away."

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t even glance at her, only looking at Grandma Liu beside her: "Grandma Liu, you’re here for the sewing machine, right? Let’s go inside and talk."

Compared to her indifference towards Zhang Guifang, when Su Xiaoxiao looked at Grandma Liu, there was a smile on her face, her attitude was worlds apart.

"You little brat, what do you mean? Am I not even as good as an outsider?"

Zhang Guifang was so angry her eyes were about to pop out.

Su Xiaoxiao spoke casually: "Speaking of outsiders, you are an outsider now too. If I remember correctly, our families severed ties long ago. Is it too late to try and mend the relationship now?"

Zhang Guifang wanted to say more, but the courtyard door slammed shut, leaving her no face at all.

That little brat dared to show her no respect.

Looking at the tightly shut courtyard door in front of her, she stomped her foot angrily and left.

She wouldn’t have bothered to come here if it weren’t for the things that old woman has. Seems like this matter needs discussing with her husband back home.

Su Xiaoxiao helped Grandma Liu into the house and even poured her a cup of warm water with some sugar.

She said, "Grandma Liu, have some sugar water to soothe your throat."

"Oh, you don’t have to be so polite, girl. Keep the sugar water for yourselves, I’m fine with plain water."

Grandma Liu hurriedly refused.

She was here to ask for a favor, not as a guest; requiring such fancy treatment wasn’t appropriate.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be upset and pushed the sugar water in front of her: "Grandma Liu, if you don’t drink it, I won’t help you with this."

Grandma Liu had no choice but to pick up the enamel cup and take a sip, the sweetness directly melted into her heart.

It’s a pity her grandson was already engaged, otherwise she would certainly match Su Xiaoxiao with someone.

Smart, capable, kind-hearted, and her looks were impeccable.

After taking two sips of sugar water, Grandma Liu placed the enamel cup on the table and couldn’t help but ask: "Xiaoxiao, what’s the deal with the sewing machine?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "Grandma, I asked you in to talk about this."

"I have a friend whose factory produces electric sewing machines, and they have an excess batch outside of orders. I wanted to ask if you’re interested?"

At the mention of electric sewing machines, Grandma Liu became apprehensive: "How much would something like that cost? I’m interested, but the price..."

A regular sewing machine costs over a hundred yuan plus some industrial vouchers; she barely managed to gather these.

If it’s electric, how much would it cost then?

Just as she was full of anxiety, Su Xiaoxiao spoke: "No industrial vouchers required, 200 yuan per unit. Of course, that’s the price for you; if anyone asks, you should uniformly say 220."

"What? Xiaoxiao, how much did you say?"

Grandma Liu almost thought she heard wrong.

A standard sewing machine costs over 150 yuan and requires numerous industrial vouchers. Yet this electric sewing machine not only requires no vouchers but is priced not much higher than a regular one.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "200 yuan, no vouchers. If you confirm you want it, I’ll bring it over tomorrow."

"I want it, of course, I want it. Xiaoxiao, then I’ll trouble you."

Grandma Liu immediately started retrieving money, afraid if she hesitated, such a good deal would vanish.

After purchasing the sewing machine, Grandma Liu happily bid farewell to Su Xiaoxiao before heading home.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the sky, puzzled as to why Liu Cuilan hadn’t returned at this time. Sister Zhaodi had already finished cooking.

Just as she was wondering, there was a rapid knock on the courtyard door.

The voice of Aunt Wang from the neighboring village sounded at the door: "Xiaoxiao, hurry and go have a look, your mom got into a fight with the secretary’s wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly put on her coat and ran out. Her two younger brothers burst out of the room immediately: "Third sister, we’ll go with you."

Xu Zhaodi heard the commotion and ran out too. Seeing the three heading out together, she hurriedly asked: "Xiaoxiao, what’s going on?"

"It’s nothing, just my mom got into a fight with the secretary’s wife. We’re going to check it out, Sister Zhaodi, you just stay home and watch the house."

Su Xiaoxiao said hastily, leading her two younger brothers out.

Upon reaching the door, she grabbed the sturdy stick leaning against it, tested its weight, and found it suitable.

The three of them stormed off, following Aunt Wang to the scene.

Before seeing anyone, they heard the duo’s shouting match.

"You shameless old hag, you’re still flirting around despite your age."

"Which eyes of yours saw me flirting? With your man? Sorry, you might treasure him, but to me, he’s nothing. Am I pursuing him for his looks or his poverty?"

"If there’s no flirting, why dress so provocatively as if it’s for men to see?"

"My daughter bought me new clothes, I’d wear them to show off, none of your damn business. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your filthy mouth apart."

Within a few words, they began fighting again, cursing each other, questioning each other’s ancestors throughout.

Sun Hongjun said: "Guilan, you really misunderstood, there’s nothing between me and Cuilan."

Zhang Guilan took a moment to glare at him: "Shut the hell up! I’m definitely going to tear this bitch’s old face today."

As she spoke, she grabbed Liu Cuilan’s hair, pulling it while aiming for her face.

Liu Cuilan didn’t hold back either, clawing straight at her face.

Within moments, both were disheveled, with several scratches on their faces, looking vicious.

In between, Sun Hongjun tried to intervene but ended up with several scratches on his face as well.

Su Xiaoxiao watched in shock, never expecting her mom to be so fierce in a fight; it showed how restrained she usually was with the three siblings.

Sun Hongjun was frantic, his face pale. He was the village head after all; this crazy woman was giving him no face outside.

Just as he was anxiously scratching his head, he looked up to see Su Xiaoxiao and the two younger brothers standing on the side of the field, dumbfounded.

Desperately, like spotting a savior, he loudly called: "Su Family girl, hurry over to help separate your mom and aunt."

Su Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses, quickly leading her two younger brothers forward.

Sun Hongjun tightly hugged Zhang Guilan’s waist, the two brothers each held their mom’s legs, while Su Xiaoxiao hugged her waist.

With the four of them working together, they finally managed to separate the pair.

However, while they were separated, their mouths did not rest.

Zhang Guilan: "You dirty bitch ridden by thousands! A family of thieves and whores..."

Before finishing the sentence, she received a loud slap on the face. Staring incredulously at the slapper, her eyes instantly turned red.
