Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 349: This Warmth Feels a Bit Excessive

When Gui Zhenzhen heard Su Xiaoxiao say this, her eyes widened in shock.

"How could you be willing to marry a country boy? Didn’t several of our male classmates propose to you? You didn’t even consider them back then, so how could you suddenly... this is just too surprising."

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that, indeed, a few male classmates had come to her house six months ago. But thinking of their attitudes, the sweet smile on her face faded away.

"What did they say? You know they came to my house, so they must have said quite a bit, right?"

Gui Zhenzhen nodded, "Yes, they did say some things. Mainly that you looked down on them, and you were probably counting on your brother to introduce you to an officer as a husband."

"Our family never had that thought. Whatever the choice, it was always up to me. I just wanted to find someone who would treat me well." Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to expose their flaws too much, as it would also reflect poorly on herself.

But Gui Zhenzhen, hearing her say this, furrowed her brows even more.

"It’s just because you don’t have a sister-in-law or an older sister, so you don’t understand. Before a man gets married, he’ll do everything he can to treat you well. Especially a country boy marrying a city girl; it’s like bringing a fairy home. But once you’re married and have children, their attitude will change. Have you already gotten married? If not, I advise you to reconsider. Otherwise, once you’re married and stuck in the countryside, you’ll never get out. You’ll spend your whole life facing the earth with your back to the sky."

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t angry at her words, just raised her chin in a playful, proud manner, "I think the man I’ve chosen is pretty reliable. He definitely won’t be like that. Plus, I have my brother to back me up. If they dare to mistreat me, I’ll just have my brother step in."

"True, your brother would never let you be mistreated." Gui Zhenzhen thought of Su Hongchen and sighed with envy.

Su Xiaoxiao’s brother was indeed the most doting one she knew, and in a way that was completely unreasonable.

No matter what, his little sister was always right.

Because of this, even though the Su family had good conditions and Su Hongchen was outstanding, they never considered having Su Xiaoxiao introduce him to anyone.

No one wanted their future parents-in-law to favor the sister-in-law, or for their husband to prioritize his sister over everything else.

Especially when the sister-in-law was particularly pampered; it would surely drive them crazy once they were family.

"By the way, how long do you plan to stay this time? Remember to invite all of us old classmates if you have a wedding," Gui Zhenzhen said with a smile.

"I plan to stay for about two months. In the Northeast, we have to wait for the snow to melt before we can plant crops, so it’s later than other places." Su Xiaoxiao smiled as she replied, but didn’t promise to invite her classmates to the wedding.

If her father’s situation was resolved by then, she could invite more people.

But if it wasn’t, the wedding would just be a small affair between the two families, to avoid anyone saying anything inappropriate and causing long-lasting discomfort.

"By the way, are you free in the next couple of days? Remember how we used to go to the scrap yard to find books? Since you’re back, it would be great to do that together again," Gui Zhenzhen suggested, her enthusiasm a bit too strong.

Since when did they become this close?

Su Xiaoxiao recalled her high school days and realized that while she and Gui Zhenzhen weren’t close friends, they, along with three or four other girls, did go to the scrap yard weekly to find novels to read.

"I’m sorry, but I’m busy with the wedding, so I don’t really have time," Su Xiaoxiao apologized with a smile.

But Gui Zhenzhen clung to her arm warmly, "We haven’t gathered in so long. The others didn’t go to the countryside; they all got married. We’re busy with housework every day, so now that you’re back, it’s a great excuse for us to meet up. It won’t take much time, just one day."

Although Su Xiaoxiao found her warmth a bit suspicious, it actually piqued her interest.

"Alright, let’s do it tomorrow," Su Xiaoxiao agreed readily.

Gui Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile, "It’s settled then. Let’s meet at the school gate at 8 a.m., and we can have breakfast at the state-owned restaurant."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed.

Then she pulled her arm away, "This is my stop. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Gui Zhenzhen waved enthusiastically as Su Xiaoxiao got off.

As Su Xiaoxiao walked home, she patted her head.

She had been so caught up in the conversation that she forgot to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the tools for processing traditional Chinese medicine.

Now it was too late to hide anything.

Thinking that this delay would last at least two more days made her a bit annoyed.

Especially during dinner, when neither her brother nor Jiang Yexun came home, but Aunt Guo arrived with a pot of chicken soup.

"Xiaoxiao, that rascal Yexun has been busy these days. Please don’t be mad at him. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything for the wedding. I’ve even asked around for two women nearby who are great cooks, so the wedding won’t be embarrassing." Aunt Guo apologized sincerely as she held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand after dinner.

"Auntie, please don’t say that. I know Yexun is busy with my family’s matters. I’m grateful to him, so how could I be mad?" Su Xiaoxiao quickly denied it.

Mrs. Su also nodded in agreement, "Yes, you shouldn’t be apologizing. It’s us who should be grateful to Jiang. As for the wedding banquet, there’s no need to go overboard. We don’t have many relatives. Xiaoxiao’s father’s relatives haven’t been in contact for years, so it’s just us. Two tables will be enough; no need to trouble yourself."

"We’ll prepare first. If the truth comes out by then, we’ll need to add two or three more tables to invite your colleagues and friends. And we can’t let anyone think that Xiaoxiao is marrying poorly, or they’ll talk behind her back about how she’ll suffer in the future." Aunt Guo was particularly firm about this.

She had already figured out how to get to the nearby production team and would go there to buy a few chickens.

The fish had already been bought and were being kept alive in a tank. Keeping them alive for a month or two wouldn’t be a problem.

As for the pork, she planned to queue up early in the morning to ensure she got enough.

"True, if Xiaoxiao’s father’s matter is resolved, we’ll definitely need to add two or three tables," Mrs. Su nodded in agreement.

She had been quite desperate before, thinking about how to arrange things for the two children so they wouldn’t be affected.

She had even considered forcing Zhang Zhiyuan to acknowledge Hongchen as his son if Mr. Su couldn’t clear his name and was arrested.

Hongchen had risked his life for every promotion, and she couldn’t let his future be ruined by their parents’ affairs.
