Grandma Su paid a deposit of one hundred cents for Su Guilan, which would be refunded only if Su Guilan filled Su Yaoguang's family's cesspit.
Su Guilan left for several days without any intention of returning to fetch water. The more Grandma Su thought about it, the more uneasy she felt and decided to go to Su Guilan's in-laws' house to find her, only to discover that she had used illness as an excuse to leave, saying she wouldn't be back in the next few days.
Grandma Su, being thrifty herself, understood Su Guilan's intention. Since she couldn't find her, and wanting to get the hundred cents back sooner, she had Su Grandpa and Uncle Su fill Su Yaoguang's cesspit. Of course, she could also order Su Yaoguang to return the money, but that girl was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. If she just threatened a little, Yaoguang would put on a big scene, as if accusing her own grandmother of bullying her while her mother was away.
