Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 439: Not Everyone Has the Luck to Strike Gold in the Sand

Because it was the third day of their marriage and they had to visit the bride’s family, Jiang Yexun and Su Xiaoxiao had to wake up early for once.

However, Aunt Guo, who was used to waking up at 5 AM, had already placed the steamed buns and soy milk on the stove.

She was watering the trees and vegetables in the yard.

When she saw Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun coming down, she immediately greeted them with a smile, saying, "I’ve already prepared breakfast, and the return gift for your visit is over there. After you eat, you can head straight back."

"Mom, actually, my parents are also coming with us, so carrying all the things back and forth is too much trouble," Su Xiaoxiao quickly advised.

Now, practically everyone who knew them was aware of how much betrothal money and gifts she received when marrying, which had already been enough to make her proud.

But Aunt Guo, with a serious expression, said, "That’s different. When the son-in-law visits, the return gifts are important. It also shows respect for the annual festivities. Yexun has missed the past two years, so this return gift must not be light."

Moreover, if the return gift is light or, worse, if they don’t bring anything, people won’t care about your reasons—they’ll think the worst of you.

There’s no need to save a little effort and become the topic of gossip.

"Hmm, Mom’s right," Su Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to save any trouble after hearing Aunt Guo’s words and quickly nodded.

Aunt Guo then smiled and brought the steamed buns, soy milk, and chicken porridge to the table.

Once Jiang Yexun and Su Xiaoxiao were seated, she continued, "From now on, just call me ‘Mom,’ so it’s clear when Xiaoxiao’s parents come."

"Okay."

Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun both obediently agreed.

Aunt Guo smiled, peeled a salted duck egg, and split the yolk in half, giving them each a portion.

After they finished breakfast, Jiang Yexun carried two big baskets full of canned fruit, milk powder, pastries, fish, and meat as they walked out the door.

Along the way, the neighbors immediately greeted them with smiles when they saw them.

Especially the old neighbors from the steel factory, who began joking.

"Xiaoxiao, you and your husband are up so early to visit your family? Shouldn’t a newlywed couple sleep in a bit longer?"

"Yeah, we thought your husband wasn’t that young anymore. How could he bear to send you off so early?"

Su Xiaoxiao’s face turned bright red from the teasing, while Jiang Yexun blocked their view and said, politely but distantly, "Xiaoxiao’s parents love her so much, they must have gotten up early today. We couldn’t let the elders wait too long."

"Ah, Jiang, you’re really thoughtful."

The aunts didn’t have any ill intentions, and hearing his words made them think even more highly of Su Xiaoxiao’s marriage.

Once they had walked away, one of the aunts sighed, "Actually, looking at it now, not all country men are bad."

Her daughter had been living in the countryside for six years.

She went at eighteen and was now already twenty-four.

At such an age, even if she returned to the city, she wouldn’t be able to marry a good man. It might be better to marry someone from the countryside, like Manager Su’s son-in-law.

He’s much more reliable than the city men.

However, some of the others didn’t agree and rolled their eyes.

"Don’t be mistaken! The reason Manager Su’s daughter married well is because she’s pretty. Plus, Northeast China is one of the most industrially developed areas in the country. It’s full of mountains, forests, and wild game. Manager Su’s daughter had good eyes and great luck, choosing a man who is capable and willing to spend money."

"That’s right. If you want to marry your daughter off to the countryside, first think about her looks. Then consider if she’s as picky as Manager Su’s daughter. Most countryside families are struggling to make ends meet. If you don’t have any standards, you might end up with a daughter who’s like a meat bun thrown to a dog—gone with no return."

The aunts who had been considering this option all looked embarrassed after hearing this.

But while the words were harsh, they were also practical, so they all quickly dismissed the idea.
