Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 77: Jiang Yexun Comes to Take Her for the Betrothal Ceremony
Su Xiaoxiao scrutinized Xiang Hongmei up and down with a stern face, then raised her chin and asked coquettishly, "I haven’t married into the Jiang family yet, so this matter shouldn’t concern me. Why did you come running over? Is it because Brother Yexun rejected you, and you think that you can take advantage of me, so you came here to bully me?"
Xiang Hongmei’s mind was immediately in a muddle, and she quickly put on a more pitiful expression. "I came because I thought you were a city girl and would understand how big of a deal it is for a leg to be broken. Besides, you city girls are reasonable; you won’t ignore something just because of a few bucks."
"You don’t need to flatter me; I’m not buying it," Su Xiaoxiao retorted directly.
"When they go into the mountains to hunt, they always split the earnings equally. No matter what happens, Brother Yexun doesn’t have to compensate. If I were the one handling this, I wouldn’t even let him give you two hundred yuan. Besides, it’s almost time for winter, even if we educated youth work everyday for a whole month, our subsidies, we could only earn 30.6 yuan. You’ve received two hundred yuan, which is already seven times the amount; you didn’t lose anything."
"Why is your heart so cold, girl? You could spend several hundred yuan on your wedding, but you can’t give us a little more," Xiang Hongmei stared at Su Xiaoxiao. She couldn’t believe that Su Xiaoxiao was so cruel.
"The bank is much more rich than us, why don’t you ask the bank to pity you?" Su Xiaoxiao mocked with disdain.
Xiang Hongmei was so provoked that her mind went blank, and she raised her hand.
But Su Xiaoxiao sneered and stepped closer to her. "Dare to hit me and see if Brother Yexun won’t settle the score with you when he returns."
Xiang Hongmei was so angry that her teeth itched, but she really didn’t dare to hit her. However, she didn’t know how to retract her hand to save face. In the end, she could only sit on the ground and burst into tears, crying loudly.
"Oh, my life is so miserable! I thought marrying into the He family would bring me comfort, but now that we’re missing a laborer, I don’t even know if this leg will ever heal. If it doesn’t, we’ll have to support this son for the rest of our lives. He’ll have a hard time getting married, and even the bride price will have to be multiplied. Ah, I don’t want to live anymore! I can’t go on like this... I’m being forced to death."
Her dramatic sobbing made her look like a clown.
Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xiang Hongmei with amusement.
She sobbed for a few more minutes until she realized something was wrong.
Her crying suddenly stopped.
"Go on; I’m still waiting to hear," Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand, gesturing for her to continue.
Xiang Hongmei was stunned and didn’t know what to do. She had a hard time believing that this girl’s heart could be so cold.
"Educated Youth Su, don’t go too far!" She stood up from the ground, trembling, and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao with her quivering hand.
Su Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, and before Xiang Hongmei could do something else, Aunt Guo rushed in.
"You dare to bully my future daughter-in-law!"
She grabbed Xiang Hongmei by the hair and threw her to the ground.
Xiang Hongmei screamed in fright, and then tried to fight back. However, Su Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her arm.
Aunt Guo’s slap immediately landed on Xiang Hongmei’s face, followed by several more.
Xiang Hongmei struggled desperately but found she couldn’t resist. She cried out loudly.
"You two are bullying me too much!" She finally cried for real, not just making noise without substance like before.
After three minutes of slapping, Aunt Guo and Su Xiaoxiao finally let go of her.
Hearing that Xiang Hongmei was still crying, Su Xiaoxiao kicked her in the butt.
"Get lost! Don’t come looking for trouble for no reason, or I’ll tell Brother Yexun. You know what he’s capable of."
Xiang Hongmei was furious but didn’t dare to say anything. She could only cover her face and cry as she ran out of the educated youth dormitory.
After she left, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Guo somewhat embarrassedly.
"Auntie, why did you come? I wasn’t actually afraid of her; she couldn’t hurt me."
"Look at you, still so reserved with me? I’m your future mother-in-law; if someone bullies you, of course, I should come to help." Aunt Guo held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and patted it gently. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Then she turned and pointed to Tao Junlan and Qian Siyu, who had just entered.
"It was these two friends of yours who saw you being bullied and came to find me."
Su Xiaoxiao immediately smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
"It’s nothing, just delivering a message," Tao Junlan waved her hand casually.
Aunt Guo chatted with Su Xiaoxiao for a while about the preparations for the wedding banquet tomorrow before going back to continue preparing the dishes.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to help, but Aunt Guo said that the bride and groom shouldn’t do this kind of work, and she had already asked a fellow villager to help.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to send her out of the educated youth dormitory and then hurriedly climbed back into bed to rest.
The next day, she got up early. However, as soon as she sat up from the bed, she found that the other educated youth had already woken up earlier than her, and one by one, they came to congratulate her.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly went to the cabinet and took out the candies she had bought in advance, distributing some to them. Everyone laughed and teased her for giving out candies so soon after getting engaged.
In reality, this was how weddings were in the village. Although she was only getting engaged now, Jiang Yexun and Aunt Guo were willing to dote on her, and everyone was willing to join in the excitement.
Blushing, Su Xiaoxiao quickly changed her clothes and combed her hair. When she held a washbasin and was about to leave, she saw Jiang Yexun waiting for her in the yard.
Beside him were two fulfilled baskets, which contained obviously her betrothal gifts.
She was a bit surprised.
"You should go wash up first," Jiang Yexun smiled.
After she finished washing up and returned to the room, she looked at herself in the mirror.
She discreetly applied some lipstick when no one was looking.
Now she looked like a newly hatched little bird, happily flying towards Jiang Yexun.
"Take it slow," Jiang Yexun furrowed his brows, nervously opening his arms, wanting to catch her.
