The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Su Fugui lived up to his name, having a fat head, big ears, and a rich and noble appearance.

He had actually been eyeing Fang Yingxue for a long time.

The girls in the surrounding villages were all tanned dark from farm work, and they were malnourished, had dry and yellow hair, and had no money to dress up, but Fang Yingxue was different.

Fang Yingxue has fair skin, shiny black hair, and wears brightly colored dresses. She is also very good at dressing up and is definitely the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages.

When Su Fugui saw Fang Yingxue sitting on the ground crying, he saw a great opportunity to curry favor with her. Even a fool would know what to do.

Su Fugui quickly stepped forward to ask, "Yingxue, are you alright?"

Fang Yingxue's face was so badly slapped by Su Qianqian that even her parents might not recognize her.

How did Su Fugui recognize Fang Yingxue at a glance? Naturally, it was because Fang Yingxue was tying up her hair and had a beautiful camellia flower tucked into it.

The farm girls in the surrounding villages were all simple-minded and only knew how to work, but Fang Yingxue dressed neatly and had the habit of wearing camellias.

Su Fugui had always wanted to marry Fang Yingxue, but Fang Yingxue never paid any attention to the men in the village, saying that she would marry into a prominent family in the capital in the future.

Actually, Fang Yingxue didn't want to talk to Fugui today, but when she thought of the silver ingots and banknotes in Old Madam Su's cabinet, she changed her mind.

Marrying into the capital is a matter for the future. Right now, her brother hasn't passed the imperial examination with top honors yet. Studying is extremely expensive, and she and her mother also need money for food, clothing, and other necessities.

Recently, she also took a fancy to the new "Beauty That Shames the Moon and Blushes the Flowers" rouge from Yu Rong Xuan in the county town and wanted to buy it. It costs five taels of silver, and she doesn't know where she'll get the money.

Besides, the big ox that they used to earn rent is gone, so there's no income for the time being. Keeping Su Fugui hanging and squeezing some money out of Old Mrs. Su is a good option.

There is absolutely no way I would marry Su Fugui. With his ugly appearance, he's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. I feel disgusted just looking at him.

Su Yingxue forced a smile at Fugui, but the smile was not attractive. Her swollen face looked particularly comical, but her voice was still soft and pleasant, making it irresistible.

"Brother Fugui, I can't get up."

Su Fugui was so dizzy from being called "brother" in such a sweet voice that he almost died on the spot.

I'm so happy! This is the first time Yingxue has called him "brother".

Su Fugui quickly helped the Fang family mother and daughter up and carried them into the courtyard, not even noticing Sun's disdainful gaze.

Su Fugui was completely obsessed with Fang Yingxue, losing his senses and not watching where he was going. He bumped into a bare old elm tree in the yard, which made the villagers burst into laughter.

Su Fugui touched his forehead, which had been bruised from the impact, and chuckled foolishly. With a beautiful woman beside him, he didn't even feel the pain when his head was bumped.

But that didn't stop him from taking revenge on the elm tree. He kicked the elm tree hard and cursed, "Damn old bald tree, you're so ugly, I'll cut you down tomorrow!"

The old elm tree in the Su family's courtyard was indeed ugly. The whole village ate wild vegetables and tree bark, so the bark had long been stripped clean and eaten, leaving it bare and unattractive. But anyone who had eaten it knew that elm bark was really delicious, much better than wild vegetables.

Su Fugui was thinking about how to properly entertain the beauty. After kicking the tree, he helped Fang Yingxue into the main room of the old lady Su. "Grandma, didn't you buy osmanthus cake at the market last time? Quickly take it out for Yingxue to eat."

Grandma Su looked distressed and hesitated whether to take out the pastries, as they were very precious to people in the countryside.

Fugui was her most beloved grandson, and she knew his thoughts better than anyone. Why did Fugui always look down on other girls when he went on blind dates? It was because all his thoughts were focused on Yingxue.

He had just agreed to get engaged to Xiao Cui from the next village, but Ying Xue immediately won him back.

I don't know if I can get the five taels of silver I gave as an engagement money back.

That damned grandson, he's a real debt collector. He was reincarnated into the Su family just to collect a debt from his past life.

The eldest daughter-in-law knows the old lady best; she's such a stingy person. Seeing the old lady's reluctant expression, she quickly offered her help.

The eldest daughter-in-law stepped forward and hugged the old lady's arm, whispering, "Mother, Fang Cheng is a student who has passed the imperial examination. I heard that his grades are excellent and he is very likely to become the top scholar in the imperial examination. If Fu Gui and Ying Xue get together, he will be the brother-in-law of the top scholar, which will bring honor to our ancestors."

After being comforted by her eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady gritted her teeth, made up her mind to open the cabinet, unpack a whole package of osmanthus cakes, and put them into a plain white plate.

Her heart was bleeding. After thinking for a moment, she quietly removed half of the pastries from the plate before angrily placing the plate on the table in front of the Fang mother and daughter.

He even made an unprecedented move by having his eldest son's wife make two bowls of brown sugar water for the Fang family mother and daughter.

Su Fugui felt it wasn't enough: "Grandma, the brown sugar water is too bland. Let my mother go to the stove and make two bowls of brown sugar and egg tea to entertain our distinguished guests."

The old lady stamped her foot, handed the cabinet key to her eldest daughter-in-law, and said, "You decide what to do."

He spoke generously, but his hands gripped the key tightly, unwilling to let go. It took a lot of effort for the eldest son's wife to snatch the key from his hand.

Standing in the courtyard, Su Qianqian could clearly see the old lady's heart bleeding.

This old lady can only bully the third branch of the family. She'll suffer a great loss sooner or later if she encounters the cunning Fang family mother and daughter. She deserves it!

The Fang family mother and daughter wouldn't do anything without a reason; the fact that they were patiently sitting in the old lady's house meant they were definitely after her money.

This is a good thing. The Fang family is scheming to take the old lady's money, and the third branch of the family can reap the benefits.

The eldest daughter-in-law happily took two eggs from the cupboard and went to the kitchen, while behind her, Old Mrs. Su was practically grinding her teeth to powder.

The brown sugar eggs were ready quickly, and the eldest daughter-in-law personally handed them to Fang Yingxue, smiling ingratiatingly, "Yingxue, eat the brown sugar eggs."

Su Qianqian heard Fang Yingxue eating with gusto and sighed, "This girl is really blind."

When her aunt passed by with a bowl, Su Qianqian saw it clearly: her aunt's fingernails were black, hiding a lot of grime, and at least four of her fingers were in the sugar water when she held the bowl.

Mrs. Sun ate with great relish, her face beaming with joy.

All the pots and pans in the house were gone overnight, and I didn't even have a bite of breakfast. I'm starving.

Although we didn't manage to find the two big yellow oxen, being able to eat osmanthus cake and drink egg and brown sugar tea made the long trip worthwhile. Plus, I was thirsty from cursing all morning.

But she had a sharp tongue, and before she had even finished her food, she mentioned Su Qianqian again: "That wretched girl from your third branch of the family..."

Before Mrs. Sun could finish speaking, the table was overturned, and the unfinished sweet soup was splashed all over the mother and daughter.

The one who did it was Su Qianqian. Anyone who dares to call her a "bastard" must pay the price for their insults.

The toxic atmosphere in the Su family is driving her crazy.

She transmigrated here to make a fortune, not to suffer injustice.

Take life and death lightly, fight if you're not convinced, and the feeling of flipping the table is not bad.

The old lady pointed at Su Qianqian and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, both of you go and beat her hard, beat this girl to death."

The second son's wife was very shrewd; she slowly followed behind the eldest son's wife, making a show of it.

The eldest daughter-in-law rushed to the front, but Su Qianqian grabbed her wrist before she could even slap her.

"Let go, please let go, please, please let go of your aunt!" The eldest daughter-in-law's voice was choked with sobs, feeling as if her wrists were about to be broken, the pain excruciating.

Even when Su Fugui stepped forward to help, he couldn't free his eldest daughter-in-law's wrist.

The second son's wife felt a wave of fear. Luckily, she was quick-witted and only followed behind the eldest son's wife, pretending to be one, without daring to rush ahead. Otherwise, she would have suffered the same fate as the eldest son's wife.

The second son's wife wondered to herself, "Who did the third son's daughter take her strength from?"

Actually, she knew a secret about the Su family: that the third son, Su Bing, was not their biological son. Perhaps the third son's strength was inherited from his biological parents. She was very curious about the family background of the third son's biological father.

She only learned the secret when she happened to pass by the old lady's house late at night while urinating and overheard the old lady and the old man whispering to each other.

Su Qianqian threatened, "Aunt, if you dare to hit anyone from our third branch of the family again, I'll break your hand."

To deal with someone like the eldest son's wife, you have to keep pushing her and instill fear in her. That way, she won't dare to bully or beat the third wife anymore.

"I know, I was wrong, please, let me go." After being released, the eldest daughter-in-law slumped to the ground, still shaken by the ordeal.

That brat from the third wife's family is really strong. She could easily take down several adults with one hand. Why did she always swallow her anger and let the old lady beat and scold her without ever fighting back? It's really strange.

She was unaware that her niece had been replaced.
