Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 23: Openly Flirt

Hu Yuezhen was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected that in just half a day, her third younger brother and her stepmother-in-law would have told Educated Youth Su everything. She couldn’t find a reason to explode in anger at the moment.

Su Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her. She acted like a victorious young rooster, strutting proudly with Jiang Yexun as they left.

Seeing Jiang Yexun continuously looking at her, Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "Do you think I was going too far?"

"There’s nothing wrong with it. She had malicious intent from the beginning," Jiang Yexun said with a slight upward curl of his lips.

His two sisters-in-law were just too idle, which led them to seek out trouble.

"She wanted to drink my sweet soup, but I won’t give it to her. From now on, I won’t let her touch anything that belongs to me," Su Xiaoxiao said with a domineering tone.

In her previous life, when she first married into the Jiang family, the eldest sister-in-law had taken many valuable things from her because she appeared easy to bully. She had thought it was orchestrated by Jiang Yexun and her mother-in-law, which had increased her aversion towards them.

"Don’t worry; she won’t be able to touch your things," Jiang Yexun promised with a serious and reassuring tone.

"While our family hasn’t officially divided, the accounts within our family are quite clear. Everyone above the age of sixteen has to contribute six work credits per day as the family’s living expenses. We buy whatever we want for ourselves when it comes to daily meals, so you don’t have to worry about them," he explained.

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback by this information. In her previous life, she hadn’t interacted much with the Jiang family members, and everyone would retreat into his or her own room when returning home. So she didn’t know about the family’s situation.

However, in her previous life, she hadn’t been responsible for household chores in the Jiang family. She didn’t even help when their broom fell over, let alone understand their family’s finances.

"So, if I marry into your family, I won’t have to work, but you’ll have to do twelve work credits’ worth of labor every day?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Yexun with a concerned expression.

Jiang Yexun was touched by her concern, and he couldn’t help but smile. "No, they calculate it as six work credits per one point of money. If there’s a shortfall in work credits, you can pay with money."

So... in the previous life, he had to pay eleven yuan every month on behalf of her? A total of three hundred and ninety-six yuan in three years?! That’s way too much!!!

Su Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and lowered her head, but then she heard Jiang Yexun’s amused chuckle. "What are you afraid of? Your man is wealthy and can afford to support you."

"I have money too." Su Xiaoxiao had spent a lot of his money in her previous life, so she couldn’t bear to let him support her again this time.

Jiang Yexun’s smile faded from his face because of her words.

"Every household has the wife manage the money. After we’re together, all my money will be handed over to you, so it will all be yours," he stated.

"Of course! They say that when men have money, they become corrupted!" Su Xiaoxiao instinctively replied, then realized what she had said and blushed.

Jiang Yexun was momentarily stunned, but he couldn’t contain his smile any longer. "Alright, all the money is yours. You just need to make sure I don’t become ’corrupted.’"

His voice was deliberately low, with a sexy, magnetic undertone.

Blushing, Su Xiaoxiao gave him an annoyed look and hurriedly walked ahead. Jiang Yexun quickly caught up with her.

"Walk slowly; be careful not to trip," he reminded her, concerned.

Su Xiaoxiao walked for a while before slowing down, strolling leisurely with Jiang Yexun. Before long, they found the group of educated youth working together in a large cornfield.

Su Xiaoxiao invited them over for sweet soup, which made them feel a bit embarrassed, but they accepted it nonetheless. When they saw that every bowl of sweet soup contained pears and red dates, they felt even more self-conscious.

"Educated Youth Su, how can you spend so much?" Qian Siyu asked nervously, especially when she noticed Jiang Yexun’s gaze on them.

She was afraid that he might hear the things she had said to Educated Youth Su during lunch.

Su Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If it weren’t for all of you speaking up for me at noon, I would have been bullied by Pan Yongsheng and Dong Jiaxuan."

This comment made the other two people who had wanted to squeeze in feel embarrassed, and they quickly retreated into the cornfield when nobody was looking.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed their departure from the corner of her eye, and her smile became even more radiant. She turned to Jiang Yexun, who was beside her.

"You go wait over there for me," she said.

Jiang Yexun nodded and walked a bit farther away, not thinking that there was anything unusual.

The educated youth, seeing the situation, began asking in hushed voices, "What’s your current relationship with him? Are you really going to marry him?"

"Tomorrow, Aunt Guo will send a matchmaker to talk about our marriage. We’ll formally get engaged after the autumn harvest. They said they would accompany me back to my hometown, seek my family’s approval, and then we’ll get married," Su Xiaoxiao blushed and replied.

Initially, Tao Junlan had been somewhat worried, but now she felt relieved. "That sounds reasonable! At least his family knows some manners and isn’t trying to rush you into marriage without your elders’ consent."

"Will your family agree?" another educated youth asked curiously.

"That’s something Jiang Yexun should worry about. My parents care the most about me. As long as he can convince my parents that he’ll treat me well for the rest of our lives, they will agree to our marriage," Su Xiaoxiao confidently declared.

She believed that Jiang Yexun had the ability and the sincere intention to make her parents trust that she would have a happy life with him. Furthermore, she trusted her parents’ judgment; they were far wiser than she was.

"Will you listen to your parents completely?" Tao Junlan asked with some distrust.

In this day and age, many girls were easily fooled by sweet words and would create a fuss when they returned home.

Su Xiaoxiao had loving parents, and they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand her making a fuss.

"Of course! Everything my parents do is for my benefit. Why wouldn’t I listen to them? Besides, they are much wiser than I am and will definitely not make a wrong choice," Su Xiaoxiao replied confidently.

Tao Junlan’s remaining concerns were completely dispelled. After all, the Jiang family seemed quite sensible in handling this matter. Even if they weren’t entirely sensible, Su Xiaoxiao’s parents would be able to oversee everything. If the parents agreed, what could an outsider like her say?

"Then let’s offer our congratulations in advance," the other educated youth said with a teasing smile.

The rest of the educated youth joined in, offering their congratulations.

Blushing and embarrassed, Su Xiaoxiao accepted their congratulations with grace.
