Chapter 75


75 Jealous


When Su Xiaoxiao entered Wei Ting’s room with a dark expression, Xiaohu was trying to pee.


“Xiaohu didn’t pee.”


He waved his small hands at Su Xiaoxiao seriously.


“I know.” Su Xiaoxiao touched his head and said to him and Dahu, “Go and help Uncle Ergou paste the couplets.”


The three of them put down the paper and pen on the table and left.


After writing a couplet, Wei Ting was writing the word “fortune”.


Su Xiaoxiao slapped the table and said fiercely, “Wei Ting, what were you trying to do?”


Wei Ting continued to write leisurely. “Has your little lover left?”


Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. “Why? Are you jealous?”


Wei Ting sneered. “Heh, you’re thinking too much. I just think that everything has to be fair. If I’m not allowed to attract bees and b.u.t.terflies in the village, don’t even think about fooling around outside.”


Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists again.


Logically speaking, she did not have any improper thoughts about Shen Chuan and did not have any intention of falling in love. Furthermore, Shen Chuan clearly did not have any intention of doing so.


However, what if there was really development between her and Shen Chuan other than business? Shen Chuan was actually a good candidate.


Now, before the seeds could grow, Wei Ting would peel them first!


Su Xiaoxiao was a bully. “Be careful. If I can’t get married one day, I’ll really make you take the responsibility!”


Wei Ting said calmly, “You can’t do it.”


....


In the afternoon, the peanuts and sesame seeds at home were ground.


Su Ergou went to Old Li’s house to borrow his millstone. Su Xiaoxiao asked him to bring a couplet, four blessings, and a large piece of red paper.


“Don’t forget about the village head and Auntie Liu.”


They had to build a good relationship.


Auntie Liu’s land was close to the Li family’s. When Father Su learned farming from Madam Qian, he accidentally caused trouble on someone else’s land.


When Chen Haoyuan was writing the couplet in the Su family, Auntie Liu and Madam Qian didn’t go to watch the commotion. They thought that they could only envy others, but they didn’t expect their own family to have one too!


Theirs was even better!


In comparison, the Chen family’s efforts were completely insufficient!


Madam Qian and Auntie Liu didn’t know how to do paper cuts and came to look for Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao helped to cut them. They were exquisite and festive!


“I didn’t expect Fat La.s.s to have such ability!” Auntie Liu’s mother-in-law sighed sincerely.


“She’s very capable!” The wife of the Sun family, who had come to visit, said. “She went to town to sell pancakes and earned a lot of money! I heard from Liu An’s wife that they have meat every meal!”


Who would have thought that the Su family, who had once relied on extortion to survive, could go to town to do business?


If they weren’t possessed, they were lucky.


Auntie Liu thought for a moment and said, “He found a good son-in-law.”


The wife of the Sun family muttered, “Master Wei is handsome and literate. Why did he marry into the Su family? Was there a big problem?”


Auntie Liu glared at her. “Why are you like Madam Zhou? You can’t live a good life, right?”


The wife of the Sun family said, “I was just saying. Is there a need to be so angry?”


“Say whatever you like. Just don’t say it at my house!” Auntie Liu chased her away!


In the past, her mother-in-law would have said a few choice words to Auntie Liu, but looking at the couplet and red paper on the table, her mother-in-law fell silent.


On this day, the discussions about the Su family in the village did not stop. They took on various tones from good to bad, from envious to jealous, and from surprised to shocked.


On the other hand, there was a rare silence in the Su family.


Chen Haoyuan had an incident with the quota, and the mother and son had been humiliated in the village. Old Master Su regretted agreeing to this marriage this morning.


Su Jinniang locked herself in the room.


Her family thought that she was troubled by her marriage. Only Su Jinniang knew that she had been humiliated today.


Ever since she was young, she had never lost to Fatty Su.


But today, in front of all the villagers, she lost!


When everyone thought that the young master of the academy was looking for her and she herself thought so, the other party called Fatty Su’s name!


At that moment, she became a complete joke!


Su Jinniang did not think about how much Fat La.s.s Su had experienced in the past.


She was used to being proud. Once Fatty Su, who used to be inferior to her, had risen, she seemed to have lost her balance.


She did not understand why Fatty Su could marry an outstanding man like Wei Ting.


Why did Fatty Su know the young master of the academy?


It seemed that Fatty Su had become lucky overnight...


Su Jinniang attributed everything to Su Xiaoxiao’s luck. Little did she know that Su Xiaoxiao had worked hard in private.


The snow fell for three days.


Su Xiaoxiao walked back and forth between the village and Spring Willow Lane every day with difficulty.


It was not that she was not afraid of the cold and exhaustion. Su Xiaoxiao sat on the snow several times and panted heavily.


Aunt Fu cursed at first, but in the end, she fell silent.


She had looked at the little fat girl’s face and ears that were red from the cold just for an old woman like her who had half her body buried in the ground.


When Physician Fu finally returned from his consultation, he almost knelt down to Su Xiaoxiao after learning what had happened at home!


Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Alright, alright. It’s nothing. I took the consultation fee!”


It was a huge bag of peanuts!


... and a basin of sesame! It was so fragrant!


But no amount of consultation fees could exchange for Miss Su’s treatment and care for his mother. He would remember this kindness!


At noon, the snow stopped for two hours. When Su Xiaoxiao was halfway there, it began to fall again.


Su Xiaoxiao’s face hurt from the cold, and her back was sweating.


As they approached the village, there was the sound of hurried hooves not far away.


This place was very close to the official road. Occasionally, there would be pa.s.sersby. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t mind and continued walking.


However, her luck today was really not good. She tripped over a big rock covered in snow.


Her chubby body fell heavily into the snow!


What was worse was that the things in the basket were scattered all over the ground. She reached out to pick them up and in a moment of carelessness, two long cuts appeared on the index and middle fingers of her left hand.


Blood flowed!


Her fingers were connected to her heart, and the pain nerves in her body instantly woke up. The pain multiplied, and she gasped!


She couldn’t cry, couldn’t cry...


She had to bear with it!


A tall figure stepped on the thick snow and walked towards her.


He stood behind her for a moment, bending to pick up her fallen belongings.


“Stupid!”


He said.


Su Xiaoxiao’s mind was buzzing with pain. She only realized that someone was approaching when she heard a familiar voice.


She looked up and met those cold, emotionless eyes.


She pouted and cried. “Wei Ting... It hurts... ”
