General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming - Chapter 125
125 Rich
The moment he was extorted, the man in black was stunned. He wondered what Wei Ting experienced recently. Why did he learn to extort money?
Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hands and looked at him. “Wei Ting, are you getting more and more concerned about me?”
Wei Ting glanced at her indifferently and said indifferently, “Have you lost all your body weight to your face?”
Damn!
!!
Was he indirectly scolding her for being thick-skinned?
What did this guy do in the past? To be so good at arguing, was he the top scholar? The kind who fought with the other scholars?
Forget it, she would forgive him on account of the silver!
… .
Su Xiaoxiao went to the Su family to return the money to Su Yuniang.
Su Yuniang looked visibly haggard.
While others would become rosier as they observed their confinement, she seemed to have done her confinement in vain.
It was not strange if one thought about it. As the saying went, a married daughter would be criticized for returning to her parents’ house every other day. Not to mention that she was giving birth and doing her confinement at her maiden home.
As she stayed longer, the gossip in the village increased, especially when the Zheng family came once and quarreled with her. Madam Zhou, who was a gossipy woman, had witnessed it and publicized it that night.
It was true that the villagers respected the Su family, but they could not help but be old-fashioned and gossipy.
In addition, the conflict between Su Yuniang and her family was also growing.
The Su family hoped that she would go with the flow and put a stop to her conflict with Brother Xing. The sentiment was that since Brother Xing was sincerely repenting, she should stop her pretence and go back to live with him.
That woman was just a concubine and could not do much. The Zheng family had many people, so having more children was just a matter of setting aside more chopsticks. It was not like she had to worry.
She could just pretend not to see it.
However Su Yuniang could not take this lying down and refused to go back.
While Old Madam Su and her eldest sister-in-law didn’t look too good, Madam Fang’s heart ached for her daughter, so she did not mind. However, she did not agree with her daughter’s actions. She also advised her daughter not to hurt the spousal relationship with her husband. She had to live her life and not push her man away.
No one in the family really stood in Su Yuniang’s shoes to consider things from her perspective.
Su Yuniang actually didn’t care what the villagers thought of her.
She cared about her family. However, to her family, she was already an outsider.
“I really envy you sometimes,” Su Yuniang said wistfully as she sat on the bed.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “I’m quite envious of myself.”
Su Yuniang gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t interrupt my emotions!”
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “So fierce.”
Su Yuniang took a deep breath and connected her broken emotions. She continued, “I envy you for being able to find a live-in husband.”
Generally speaking, only those who could not give birth to a son would ask their daughter to find a live-in son-in-law to inherit the family’s bloodline.
However, the Su family had Su Ergou. Under such circumstances, Su Cheng had to bear a lot of pressure as the head of the family.
However, Su Cheng would rather be criticized than marry his daughter to someone else to suffer.
“You have a good father,” Su Yuniang said.
“Of course, my father is very good!” Su Xiaoxiao also felt that Father Su was the best father in the world. Although he did things a little inappropriately, his love for her was deep.
Su Yuniang’s father was similar to Madam Fang and did not have his own opinions. Old Master Su was in charge of the family.
“Maybe your grandfather was too domineering.”
Sometimes, a strong father would raise children who lacked opinions.
“Perhaps.” Su Yuniang didn’t care much anymore. “If only I could find a live-in husband.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her deeply. “You’re quite suitable for that sort of arrangement.”
Su Yuniang was opinionated and smart. She had a strong personality and was brave. She was easy-going and had good taste.
Su Yuniang had heard too many objections, so she could not help but be slightly surprised at Su Xiaoxiao’s words.
Su Xiaoxiao pouted. “Don’t look at me like that. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to accept it either. When two people are together, they should be loyal to each other. Otherwise, why would there be sayings about everlasting love?’”
“Everlasting love.” Su Yuniang’s heart was touched. “If Mr. Wei betrays you one day, what will you do?”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “He won’t!”
Because they were not a real couple at all!
How could there be a betrayal?
One day, they would be separated and never see each other again.
This was what would become of her and Wei Ting.
From the beginning to the end, Su Xiaoxiao did not persuade Su Yuniang to return to her in-laws’ house. She returned the money and left.
Just as she left, the Zheng family came knocking on her door.
It was still Zheng Lanxiu, but without Brother Xing; she came with her man, Cripple Feng.
Cripple Feng walked with a slight limp, and that was how he got this nickname.
Cripple Feng watched as Su Xiaoxiao came out of the Su family. He stared at Su Xiaoxiao until she was far away.
“What are you looking at!” Zheng Lanxiu pinched her man!
“Ouch!” Cripple Feng was in pain and scolded the bitch in his heart, but he smiled and said, “What can I look at? I’m just wondering if it’s inconvenient for us to visit since there’s a guest in the Su family.”
Zheng Lanxiu said angrily, “Hmph! Is it inconvenient for us or is it inconvenient for a daughter who lives in her maiden home!”
These words were for Su Yuniang.
Cripple Feng’s mind was filled with the chubby figure he had seen just now. His eyes flashed as he asked, “Strange, who was that fatty just now? I’ve never seen her before…”
Zheng Lanxiu said impatiently, “Why haven’t you seen her before? She’s Fatty Su from the Su family!”
“Ah! It’s her?” Cripple Feng was extremely surprised.
Because of his relationship with the Su family, he had accompanied Zheng Lanxiu to Apricot Flower Village several times. As such, he had seen Fatty Su in the past.
However, the original Fatty Su was fat and ugly. Her skin was rough and she was fat. The girl just now was clearly not as fat as he remembered. Her skin was smooth and tender.
Zheng Lanxiu was a thin person. She was old and shriveled. She did not have much flesh in her hands, so he could not be interested at night.
That little fat girl just now was really too tempting.
Soon, he saw Su Jinniang again.
Su Jinniang was wearing a light purple cotton-padded jacket. Because she was working, her sleeves were rolled up, revealing a slender wrist.
Jinniang was still the most beautiful!
“It’s Jinniang, right? I haven’t seen you for a while. You’ve grown up!” Cripple Feng greeted her with a smile.
Su Jinniang frowned slightly.
She didn’t like Zheng Lanxiu’s man very much. He always looked at her with lecherous eyes, making her feel nauseous.
… .
Zheng Lanxiu was here to persuade Su Yuniang to go back. If Su Yuniang did not leave, she would stay until Su Yuniang was willing to leave with her!
Because she stayed, Cripple Feng also stayed in the Su family’s house.
At night, Su Yuniang had dinner in her room. She carried her daughter and fed her before preparing to rest.
She had just put her daughter down when her hand touched something cold.
She picked it up and saw that it was a jade pendant.
She had seen good things in the Zheng family and recognized that this was jade although she did not know the exact grade.
However, her intuition told her that this jade pendant was quite valuable.
This was clearly not her jade pendant, nor did it belong to her family. She knew very well what jewelry was at home. This was why Su Xiaoxiao thought Su Yuniang was very suitable to be the head of the family.
Su Yuniang thought for a moment and muttered, “Could it be Fatty Su’s?”
Fatty Su had just come to pay her back. Perhaps she had dropped the jade pendant when she took out the silver.
“How beautiful…”
Although she was envious, Su Yuniang was not greedy for the things of other people.
“Little brother!”
She called out to the door.
“Coming! Big Sister, you called me?”
The ten-year-old Su Sanlang went in through the curtain.
He was still young and his voice had not yet broken. He was just a child. On the other hand, it was no longer convenient for Su Dalang and the seventeen-year-old Su Erlang to enter Su Yuniang’s room.
Su Yuniang handed him the jade pendant. “Take this to the Su family and ask Fatty Su if this is hers.”
“Okay.” He took the jade pendant.
In this family, her youngest brother was the most supportive of her. Firstly, Su Sanlang was young and innocent. Secondly, after Madam Fang gave birth to Su Sanlang, she fell ill for a few years. During that time, Su Yuniang was the one who raised Su Sanlang.
Su Sanlang’s feelings for Su Yuniang were very deep. He was happy to go to the Su family. This was not only out of obedience to his sister but also because fatty Su would give him delicious food and allow him to look at the horse.
Su Jinniang stopped him just as he left the house.
“Little brother, it’s so late. Where are you going?”
Su Sanlang turned guiltily and put his hands behind his back. “I’m going next door… to find Zhou Zhuang.”
Su Jinniang looked at his stiff arm. “What are you hiding in your hand?”
Su Sanlang hurriedly said, “Nothing!”
Su Jinniangcame to him. “Show me! Otherwise, I’ll tell Grandpa!”
Su Sanlang was most afraid of Old Master Su, so he could only bite the bullet and take out the jade pendant. “Fatty Su’s thing was left at our house. I’ll return it.”
Su Jinniang said coldly, “Then why did you lie to me?”
Su Sanlang fell silent.
Su Jinniang said, “Give it to me. I’ll send it for you.”
He whispered, “No.”
Su Jinniang’s face darkened. “Then I’ll tell Grandpa…”
“What happened?”
Old Master Su heard the siblings’ movements in the central room and walked to the door with a dark expression.
Su Sanlang lowered his head in fear.
Su Jinniang spread out her hands and said generously, “Fatty Su came to treat Sister just now and left the jade pendant in Sister’s room! Grandpa, I’ll send it to her!”
Old Master Su’s gaze landed on the jade pendant, and his expression changed!
