Chapter 131 – Being Arrogant (3)
Mrs. Huang had finally found an opportunity to show off, so she smiled proudly and sarcastically said, “If you want it, then just say it directly. For the sake of relatives, our Chen family can still afford to give a pair of couplets!”\n-The couplets
Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently, “I have said that I don’t want it.”
Auntie Wu persuaded, “Pangya, don’t lose your temper. Your aunt has said that she will give you, why don’t you want it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said in a domineering manner, “I don’t think it’s worthy!”
What did Su Pangya say?
She

 looked down on it?
The couplets that were written by Chen Xiucai1, she actually dared to look down on it!
1Xiucai (秀才) : is a scholar who has passed the imperial examinations in China and obtained the qualification for admission to academic institution in ancient China.
Su Pangya’s words successfully attracted everyone’s attention!
However, it was just that everyone didn’t think that she was telling the truth. On the contrary, they only felt that she was speaking out of anger!
Who was Chen Haoyuan? He was a more formidable scholar than He Tongsheng, and it would be difficult to find a second one all around the villages!
In the countryside where there are only two meals a day except during the busy farming season, these couplets were so rare like meat!
Who didn’t want to get a pair of couplets for the New Year?
“Sigh, I have heard that the relationship between the two families is not good, and they still ran into some arguments last time.” A villager said.
It was about Mrs. Huang and her husband Chen Feng went to the Su family to propose marriage between their illegitimate son and Su Pangya. Then Su Pangya and her newlywed handsome husband humiliate Chen Feng and his wife in public.
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have the face to ask for the couplets.”
“Xiucai’s mother doesn’t argue with her. She is tolerant and generous to give her couplets, but she still doesn’t want them?”
“I have told you that they have no dignity to ask for it.”
A few fellow villagers gossiped. Last time at the door of Xiao Su’s house, these people didn’t behave like this.
They stayed on the side because it was not their business, but enjoyed watching the scene and didn’t care if the matter became more problematic.
However, at this time, in order to get the couplets written by Chen Xiucai, everyone turned to support Mrs. Huang.
Mrs. Huang was very pleased and flattered with the words ‘tolerant and generous’. Anyway the last two or three pairs of couplets were going to be given away. If she could gain a good reputation while stepping on Su Xiaoxiao, she had no reason to disagree.
She pretended to sigh and said, “Don’t criticize her, everyone. My little sister-in-law left early, so they didn’t have a mother to take care of them. It’s inevitable that they’re a little ignorant. And I am their aunt, how can I argue with children?”
This was just telling others that Su Pangya had a mother who gave birth to her but she didn’t have a mother who raised her.
Mrs. Huang thought she was very reasonable, so she said with a generous expression, “It’s okay, Pangya. I won’t embarrass you anymore. Just call me auntie, and I will give you this couplet.”
“Huh, she really wants to give it away? Then what about us?”
“Yeah, we have waited all day!”
“I’m really sorry. After all, Pangya is Hao ge’er’s2 younger cousin 

  Don’t look

”
2(Name) + ge’er (ć“„ć„ż) / jie’er (槐愿) : In the past, the elders using this to call the younger generation affectionately.
Mrs. Huang’s words were only halfway, and when she turned her head, Su Pangya was already gone!
Thi thi
This

 This stupid girl, just gone without waiting for her to finish her words?!
“Stupid girl! You, stop right there!”
Mrs. Huang was so angry that she was shaking!
Su Xiaoxiao took the three little ones and unhurriedly said, “Ergou, tell her that I don’t want the couplets written by Chen Haoyuan. Even if she gave me money for that, I still don’t want it.”
Su Ergou turned around and loudly said, “My older sister had said it! Those couplets written by Chen Haoyuan! Even if you gave us money for that, we don’t want it!”
Mrs. Huang pointed her index finger and put her hand on her hips, while scolded angrily, “You stupid girl! You’re just stubborn and refuse to admit your mistakes huh!”
-scolded angrily while pointing her index finger and putting her hand on her hips.
Stubborn and refused to admit her mistakes?
Su Xiaoxiao laughed in anger.\n-laughed in anger
Let’s not mention how Chen Haoyuan behaves for now, just his writings——
From the couplets posted by Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Yang, she could clearly see that they were far worse than Wei Ting’s!
It was no exaggeration to say that in comparison of his handwriting to Wei Ting’s, it was simply like a knockoff counterfeit couplets!
“Ergou, let’s go back and write our own couplets.”
Su Ergou turned around again and said loudly, “My older sister has said it! We will return and write our own couplets!”
Su Xiaoxiao: There was no need to convey these words


Mrs. Huang smiled and said, “Alright! You guys can go write it by yourselves, ah! If you guys can write it, I will chop off my head and give it to you!”
Did they think that it was the first day she knew Su Pangya? In their family of three, there was not a single person who could read or write!
Afterall, It was okay If they didn’t take the couplets! But they still wanted to write couplets by themselves? Weren’t they too boastful !?
She wanted to see how the Su family would end up!
