Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 225: Village Folks on Aunt Guo’s Side

"Auntie, don’t worry, I will definitely live well with Brother Yexun," Su Xiaoxiao said sweetly, acting spoiled.

Aunt Guo smiled even more happily and took her hand to the kitchen. But this time was different from just now at Old Jiang’s house, where she did nothing and acted like a boss. This time, Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative to wash the vegetables.

After washing the vegetables, she wanted to pick up the kitchen knife usually used by Jiang Yexun, but Aunt Guo quickly grabbed her hand. "Don’t move! Using knife is a dangerous thing. Be careful not to cut yourself."

"Auntie, I’m not that weak. I also want to help with the housework," Su Xiaoxiao said innocently, looking at Aunt Guo expectantly with her big innocent eyes. In this life and the last, she had cooked a few times at the educated youth dormitory. Although she could count on her fingers the number of times she had cooked in both lives, she had never been cut by a kitchen knife before.

"There’s nothing to do at home that requires you to do it. Just sit aside and chat with me," Aunt Guo insisted, not allowing Su Xiaoxiao to hold the kitchen knife.

Seeing her standing awkwardly on the side and thinking of what those nagging people had just said, Aunt Guo sighed. "You don’t need to take what those people said to heart. Before Xinyue got married, I didn’t let her do any work at home. It was always Yexun who helped me with a lot of chores."

But when Yexun became a teenager, and Jiang Quankun and Jiang Quansheng couldn’t beat him together, some of the chores at home were allocated to those two brothers.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to insist, but seeing Aunt Guo’s firm attitude, she ultimately didn’t reach for the kitchen counter again.

"Then Auntie, let me add some firewood," Su Xiaoxiao went to pick up a pile of firewood from the side and then squatted beside the stove, adding two more pieces.

Since Su Xiaoxiao didn’t like fatty meat, Aunt Guo simply left a piece of the leanest pork belly and planned to make braised pork tomorrow. The other fatty meat would be cut off to render lard, and the lard residue would be used to stir-fry chives, which was also very fragrant. As for the pig’s ears, she would braise them, and then braise some eggs. It smelled so good.

Even through the thick wooden door, the people next door could smell it. They couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, and Hu Yuezhen stared eagerly at the pork belly that was cut and placed aside, not yet put into the pot.

"What are you still doing here? Several children are crying, didn’t you hear?" Jiang Guosheng’s wife glared at her impatiently.

Hu Yuezhen shrugged. "They’re crying because they’re drooling over the meat next door. Once the meat on our side is cooked, they won’t cry anymore."

Just soothing without meat to eat, how could it be effective? But seeing Hu Yuezhen’s deadpan expression, Jiang Guosheng’s wife couldn’t help but get angry. "Do you still have the nerve to say? If it weren’t for your lack of manners, offending Yexun’s wife, there wouldn’t be so much trouble at home." She reached out and pinched Hu Yuezhen’s arm hard.

Hu Yuezhen screamed in pain, but in front of these two aunts, who were her father-in-law’s cousins, even her father-in-law would be polite to them, so she couldn’t vent her anger. Luckily, at this moment, someone in the yard called out softly, "Quankun’s wife, Hongxiang, are you there?"

"Coming, coming!" Hu Yuezhen’s eyes lit up, and she immediately went out to greet them.

Seeing the people who came carrying either sweet potatoes or a big cabbage, her smile froze instantly. Who gives vegetables as gifts? With their behavior, they still expect to come to her house for meat?! Seeing Hu Yuezhen’s expression turn unpleasant, those people immediately said in a sarcastic tone, "We just came to bring a gift. We won’t eat at your house. We are leaving."

Since they couldn’t burn incense now, and Jiang Quansheng’s death was also unsightly, they hurriedly buried him. Everyone didn’t want to stay here any longer and felt that if they stayed longer, they might be entangled by the ill-fated Jiang Quansheng. But when Hu Yuezhen heard that they wouldn’t stay for dinner, instead of feeling embarrassed, she couldn’t hide her joy on her face. Seeing her like this, everyone felt that the Old Jiang family was completely finished.

They handed the things to Hu Yuezhen and even put a few coins in her hand before turning to leave. As they walked to the door, they happened to meet Aunt Guo and Su Xiaoxiao, who had just finished cooking. The anger on their faces subsided a bit, and they pulled Aunt Guo aside. Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed.

When they had walked a bit away from Old Jiang’s house, those women whispered, "Hongxiang, now that you’ve moved out, you should stay at your daughter-in-law’s house for as long as you can. The people of the Old Jiang family have been acting strangely lately, and we don’t know what’s on their minds. It’s better not to go to Old Jiang’s house much before the New Year. A baby in the belly had gone, Jiang Quansheng also having an accident, and Yu Siping, such a gentle wife, daring to use a firewood axe against her husband, the Old Jiang family must be very unlucky now. Be careful when you live next door, don’t wander around at night, prepare a chamber pot in the house, and don’t go out at night, in case you run into something bad."

"When it’s the New Year, the rules won’t be so strict. Everyone can set off firecrackers and such. Buy some more firecrackers and drive away the bad luck in the house."

Their words were genuinely concerned. Although Guo Hongxiang was not a superstitious person and understood why the Old Jiang family had reached this point, she naturally accepted their sincere concern about their friendship.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely listen to you and stay away from this mess," Aunt Guo nodded earnestly, looking like she was genuinely accepting their advice.

When those women saw that Aunt Guo agreed, they immediately turned their eyes to Su Xiaoxiao, who was standing aside. "Educated Youth Su, now that there’s nothing happening, you also need to be careful, and don’t be alone. Look at how delicately you’ve been raised by your parents. You can’t afford even a scratch, otherwise, Yexun won’t be able to explain to your parents." They reminded her with special concern.

Aunt Guo immediately thought of her daughter-in-law, who had just pressed Hu Yuezhen to the ground and beat her screaming in pain. But apart from the people of the Old Jiang family, others didn’t know that Xiaoxiao not only had great strength but also wouldn’t suffer any loss when fighting.

"Thank you, aunts, I understand," Su Xiaoxiao nodded, imitating Aunt Guo’s expression just now.

Her obedient appearance made her look two or three years younger than her actual age. Moreover, she was also beautiful, looking fragile as if she would be hurt by a light touch, making those women sigh involuntarily in their hearts.

How could Jiang Yexun choose such a pampered female educated youth?! To raise this kind of swan well, it couldn’t be achieved by them, country bumpkins.
