Chapter 89 – The Mastermind (1)
“Why did you go there?”
In the Old Su family’s house, Mrs. Fang had just come out of her own room and ran into Su Jinniang who was closing the door.
Su Jinniang pointed to the wooden basin in her hand and said, “To pour water.”
“Did you put face powder?” Mrs. Fang smelled the fragrance of rouge on her daughter’s body.
-Traditional face powder / cosmetic powder
Su Jinniang lowered her eyebrows and said, “No, my ears are freezing. So I rubbed some vanishing cream on them.”
Mrs. Fang nodded and hummed, then she said, “I seemed to hear you talking to someone just now.”
Su Jinniang said, “I met Su Daya and said a few words.”
Mrs. Fang unhappily said, “What did you say to her? She had just framed you tonight.”
Su Jinniang turned silent.
Mrs. Fang pondered and said, “Is it really because she’s a married woman now? I see that Su Pangya is not the same as before, she somehow became smarter. Based on what she had said to Mrs. Wan tonight, she seems pretty eloquent…… I heard that she even went to town to do business.”
Su Jinniang whispered, “What kind of business can she do? Mom, don’t just listen and believe in random rumors.”
Then Mrs. Fang said, “Really! Someone saw her go to town with Ergou in the morning, and come back with big bags and small bags at noon. If she didn’t earn some money, then how could she be able to buy those rice grains and meat? And recently, they haven’t gone to the village to extort money.”
Su Jinniang put the wooden basin against the wall and said, “Isn’t there still the bride price that was returned by the He family? That money should be enough for them to squander for a while. Just wait until they have squandered all of it, they will definitely go around extorting money again like before.”
Mrs. Fang felt that her daughter’s words were reasonable, and sighed, “Aiyaah, what a sin! How did our village get this family of scourges?”
——
In the Su family, the three little ones were standing under the porch, and looking in the direction of Wang Laizi’s house.
No matter how Su Ergou coaxed them, he couldn’t coax them to get inside.
The sky became dark and the snow became heavier.
When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting arrived home, what they saw were the three statues of little snowmen with anxious expressions.
Wei Ting’s hard-hearted heart suddenly softened.
These few brats, they weren’t raised in vain.
As he was about to walk towards them, he saw the three of them running over and pouncing on Su Xiaoxiao in unison.
Dahu and Erhu, each of them held one of her hands. Xiaohu was a step slower, he wanted to pull her clothes but he couldn’t pull it. Instead, he hugged Su Xiaoxiao’s leg with his hands and feet, and became like a small chain on her leg.
The corner of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.
These damned brats.…..
Father Su hasn’t come back yet, so Su Xiaoxiao let the three children eat dinner first.
She went to the small east room to treat Wei Ting’s wound.
Those strange medicines for wounds, Wei Ting had already become familiar with them, so he didn’t find them weird.
As soon as she started doing treatments, it seemed as if she had changed her personality, just like a different person. She lost her usual bad temper and improper behavior, she became serious and cautious.
Su Xiaoxiao straightened up, took off her gloves, and warned, “There is no need for stitches, but the old injury has not healed yet, and you added a new one. Your left calf is swollen again. You don’t need me to remind you to pay more attention to rest, right?”
“En.” Wei Ting responded indifferently.
After a while, seeing that she was not leaving, he asked, “Is there anything else?”
While packing up the iodine and cotton swabs, Su Xiaoxiao casually said, “It’s just…. that Su Jinniang, she is the prettiest girl of our village…… Although I was only a little bit uglier than her, I still need to remind you that you are my nominal husband now. Don’t give me a green hat1, and don’t even have the intention to cheat on me. Otherwise, I will be very humiliated.”
1Wearing green hat : is an expression that Chinese use when a woman cheats on her husband or boyfriend, because the phrase sounds similar to the word for cuckold.
Wei Ting looked at this chubby peacock in front of him who was pretending to be proud, and the corner of his lips hooked: “En, She is prettier than you.”
Su Xiaoxiao threw the pillow over!
Scumbag!
Seeing the flustered and angry appearance of her, it truly made Wei Ting in a happy mood.
What did he mean she was prettier?
He didn’t even look at her at all.
