Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 221: Being Alone Makes People Easy to Get Carried Away

In her previous life, Su Xiaoxiao had never met these people. Whenever they visited the Jiang family, she would use her reluctance to interact with strangers as an excuse to remain in her room all day, never stepping out.

Naturally, this displeased them, but Jiang Yexun’s straightforward and forceful approach with his fists quickly taught them not to attempt to discipline or criticize her.

However, in an effort to prevent her from growing bored and to foster a closer bond, Jiang Yexun would sit beside her and recount any interesting occurrences or gossip from the team.

In her past life, she had harbored disdain for these villagers’ crudeness, yet she listened with keen interest. After all, no matter who you were, a penchant for gossip was a universal trait.

Sometimes, when she found the stories particularly aggravating, she would interject with a few remarks of her own. This rare engagement only motivated Jiang Yexun to dig deeper into the team’s affairs and the peculiarities of various families.

As Su Xiaoxiao reminisced, an aunt suddenly addressed Aunt Guo with a smile: "Hongxiang, is this your daughter-in-law from the city? She’s truly beautiful! Yexun might have his work cut out for him—he’ll probably have to hunt and earn more to support such a lovely wife!"

"There’s no need!" Aunt Guo proudly boasted, "My daughter-in-law is wealthy! Her father is a factory director, her mother is the head of the Women’s Federation, and her brother is a junior leader in the military, soon to be promoted to deputy battalion commander. They all send her money and tickets. Staying with her, Yexun and I can enjoy good food and clothes."

Given that their household was accustomed to eating meat daily, no matter how well the kitchen was managed, it was impossible for the aroma not to reach others. Thus, it was better to state things plainly in front of the Jiang family to avoid future rumors about them being descendants of landowners. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The visitors, upon hearing this, did not mock Aunt Guo but instead became even more warm and welcoming. Some even eagerly turned to Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "Future daughter-in-law of Yexun, now that we are all family, if you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask us."

"Thank you," Su Xiaoxiao replied with a faint smile, lacking warmth.

The guests seemed undeterred by her cool demeanor and went on to introduce themselves one by one. Su Xiaoxiao responded with polite but indifferent pleasantries, offering no more than necessary.

This left those who had hoped to establish a closer rapport or forge a friendship somewhat awkward and uncomfortable.

Soon, they adjusted their attitudes and turned to Aunt Guo. "Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s get on with preparing the meal. The men have carried such heavy loads up the mountain; they certainly deserve a good meal."

"Sure, let’s start with the vegetables," Aunt Guo said. She was there to cook and had planned to host these guests, so she had no objections.

But when Su Xiaoxiao came up, Aunt Guo immediately admonished her, "You shouldn’t be doing these chores. Just sit in the courtyard and rest. If you’re bored, you can go fetch some snacks to eat while you wait."

"Alright, I’ll peel some peanuts for you, Auntie," Su Xiaoxiao responded without a second thought.

In truth, she had no intention of doing anything for Jiang Quansheng. Simply leaving his grave unburied for wild dogs to scavenge would have been a gesture of considerable grace.

With that, Su Xiaoxiao turned and walked briskly to the neighboring yard to fetch peanuts and dried sweet potatoes Jiang Yexun had bought for her.

Aside from Aunt Guo, the others had not expected her to so readily shirk all responsibilities. Moreover, she actually just sat here doing nothing but having snacks!

The guests struggled to restrain their reactions but eventually glanced at Aunt Guo, seeking some guidance.

"Hongxiang, do you always spoil your daughter-in-law like this? What will happen when you get older?" Jiang Guohua’s wife leaned in close to Aunt Guo, casting disapproving glances at Su Xiaoxiao.

Others quickly chimed in, following suit, "Exactly! They say a wife turns into a mother-in-law, meaning life becomes easier after becoming a mother-in-law. By spoiling her like this, are you going to do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, childcare... in the future?"

"Yes! I will do everything!" Aunt Guo straightened her back, giving a cold look to the women speaking.

Seeing Guo Hongxiang’s stance, they knew it was futile to advise her and could only awkwardly smile.

Soon, the sound of someone running into the courtyard echoed.

They turned together to see Su Xiaoxiao, looking like a child, both pockets filled with peanuts, happily skipping in.

Each of them rolled their eyes internally.

What’s the point of bringing back a female youth who can’t do any work and spends lavishly? Now, after spending so much money on the betrothal, she still doesn’t work while we toil away.

Aunt Guo glanced back at Su Xiaoxiao.

Seeing her sitting with a small stool already, basking in the sun, she couldn’t help but smile.

"Why are you laughing? Look at how fast your daughter-in-law shells peanuts, she must eat even faster. Who has so much money to let her idle around and eat?" A nearby aunt nudged Aunt Guo gently, hoping she would intervene and properly discipline Su Xiaoxiao.

Some jealousy among these aunts was inevitable. After all, they had all endured hardships, starting chores for their families when they were just four or five years old. Before marriage, they were skilled both inside and outside their homes.

Someone like Su Xiaoxiao, who couldn’t do anything, was only a privilege for boys in the family.

Why should she get special treatment?!
