Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 229: Can Half a Bowl of Wine Get You Drunk?

"By the way, Yexun, what’s the deal with your job?" Hua Shoucheng frowned, asking with some concern. Getting a job these days is really difficult. He had been working as an accountant in the factory for many years, but he hadn’t had the opportunity to secure a temporary job for Xinyue in the factory.

Jiang Yexun furrowed his brows and briefly recounted the incident where he and Su Xiaoxiao had intervened together. Hua Shoucheng became increasingly nervous as he listened, eventually disagreeing. "It’s okay for you to lend a hand in such situations, given your strength and abilities. But your partner is a young girl. Next time you do something like this, consider her safety."

Su Xiaoxiao, who was secretly sipping rice wine on the side, paused when she heard his words. She was about to say that she was quite capable herself, but Jiang Yexun nodded without any explanation. "Yeah, I think so too."

Turning her head to look at him, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that he seemed genuinely pondering safer solutions.

"In fact, I’m pretty capable too," Su Xiaoxiao spoke up, trying to defend Jiang Yexun. However, Aunt Guo added more rice wine to her small bowl and coaxed her with a smile, "Yes, our Xiaoxiao is the most capable. But when it comes to fighting or facing danger, it’s best for the men to handle it."

Seeing everyone’s firm attitude, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to worry them further, so she obediently agreed. After lowering her head and continuing to drink rice wine and eat, Hua Shoucheng looked at Jiang Yexun again and continued, "Your job was obtained at the risk of your life and your partner’s, so it’s natural for you to decide how to allocate it. You don’t need to worry too much about your sister. I earn forty-five yuan a month, and my parents also have jobs, so I don’t need to support anyone. The salary is enough for me, your sister, and the baby on the way. Mom is already being taken care of by you. Your sister and I haven’t done anything, so you don’t need to support us just because you have money."

"It’s my mom who’s taking care of us," Jiang Yexun emphasized, "And Xinyue is my sister. I’m not saying what you earn is not enough. Giving you extra support is out of my own choice."

Hua Shoucheng was startled by his words and immediately looked at Su Xiaoxiao. The girl’s face was flushed from the alcohol, but she nodded earnestly, "Right, we’re a family, so we should support each other."

Although the girl was clearly a bit tipsy, her words were still firm and sincere. She remembered how, in her past life, even when she acted recklessly, her sister-in-law Xinyue still cared for her. Whenever there was something good, she would find a way to share it with her.

Seeing her like this, Hua Shoucheng felt touched and amused. Finally, he looked at Jiang Yexun, who had a worried expression, and said, "You should hurry up and take your partner back. It’s her first time drinking too much, and she’ll have a headache when she wakes up."

"Okay," Jiang Yexun responded softly. He stood up, bent over, and directly lifted the girl who was leaning on him and smiling foolishly.

"Wow!" Su Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly exclaimed, waving her hands behind her. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Afraid of dropping her, Jiang Yexun quickly tightened his grip around her.

Aunt Guo also caught up and hung Su Xiaoxiao’s hand around Jiang Yexun’s neck. But as soon as she let go, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Aunt Guo’s hand. "Mom, I still want to drink..." The young girl looked at Aunt Guo with drunken, misty eyes, her rosy lips pouting in grievance. Especially with that "Mom" she called out, sounding like a pitiful little one being bullied, it melted Aunt Guo’s heart. She almost wanted to agree directly. But Jiang Yexun had a stern face and quickly walked out of the kitchen. Aunt Guo hurriedly followed, afraid of pulling Su Xiaoxiao’s arm.

"You heartless brat," Aunt Guo teased, scratching Jiang Yexun’s back. But the thick winter clothes made her scratching ineffective. Jiang Yexun was afraid that the girl in his arms would get cold in the courtyard, so he quickened his steps.

After sending Su Xiaoxiao back to her room, Aunt Guo helped her take off her military coat and cotton jacket outside, then hurriedly tucked her into bed. But the girl blinked her eyes curiously at Aunt Guo, as if suddenly not recognizing the person in front of her.

Aunt Guo chuckled and was about to comfort her when Su Xiaoxiao suddenly hugged her. "Auntie, I miss you so much. Please always stay with us, and I’ll take good care of Brother Yexun." Her little head nestled into Aunt Guo’s arms, her voice choked with emotion. Aunt Guo was taken aback for a moment, then her heart was softened by her tears. "Alright, alright, Auntie will always be with you. Don’t cry. Have a good sleep."

"Mom, you go and accompany Brother-in-law first. I’ll stay with Xiaoxiao," Jiang Yexun walked to the edge of the kang, his black eyes fixed on the girl buried in his mother’s arms.

After all, this was his future sister-in-law. Aunt Guo could only lift Su Xiaoxiao out of her arms and hand her over to Jiang Yexun. Seeing the girl’s head still rubbing against him nonstop, Aunt Guo couldn’t help but remind, "Although you two are engaged, you’re not married yet. You mustn’t take advantage of Xiaoxiao when she’s drunk, you know?"

"Hmm," Jiang Yexun nodded. Aunt Guo felt that his response was too perfunctory, worrying that he was just placating her.

Continuing to worry, she added, "If you want your future father-in-law and mother-in-law to agree, you must respect their daughter. Dirty tricks like making irreversible decisions should not be used."

"Mom, I won’t," Jiang Yexun looked up, speaking very seriously.

Only then did Aunt Guo feel relieved. After leaving Su Xiaoxiao’s room, she took the initiative to close the door.

Hua Shoucheng stood in the courtyard, somewhat worried. "Mom, is she okay?"

"With Yexun there, nothing will happen. When Xiaoxiao wakes up later, I’ll make her some honey water." Aunt Guo knew how much her son cared about Su Xiaoxiao, so she wasn’t worried about her getting hurt while drunk. Moreover, since they had been together, this brat had become much more meticulous in his actions.

In the past, he used to buy honey from the supply and marketing cooperative, the bottled kind. Now, with Xiaoxiao, he specifically went to the black market to buy wild honey. It was much better than the processed kind.

"Well, Mom... I’ve finished my meal, so I’ll be going now. Xinyue is alone at home, and I’m worried." Hua Shoucheng suddenly felt anxious to return home to his pregnant wife. Aunt Guo was also worried about her daughter at home and nodded.

"Alright! But wait, I’ve prepared some things for Xinyue. Take them back with you." With that, Aunt Guo took two thermos flasks, plus four or five lunch boxes, all wrapped in a net bag. Then she went back to her room and took out two sets of knitted clothes, packing them in a suitcase.
