Her father didn't care for her, and her mother didn't love her. Ruan Fu married early, thinking she could live a good life, but who knew her husband conspired with her best friend, jointly ...
Chapter 166 Marrying the Wrong Person
Ruan Fu rode her bicycle and quickly returned to the village.
As soon as I arrived at the Ruan family’s door, I saw that it was very lively inside.
The yard was filled with big red wedding characters pasted everywhere, and washing machines and bicycles were piled up inside. The whole yard was full of things, which should have been sent by the Hu family before.
Not only that, there were three tractors parked at the door, which was very impressive.
These days, it's already a big deal to bring home a tractor, but the Hu family displayed three of them at once, which shows how much they value Ruan Lanxiang.
Many villagers gathered at the door and peeked in. Even Aunt Hu, who was watching the fun, had tears in her eyes.
"The girl from the Ruan family is already so old, I thought she would never get married, but who knew she would marry into such a good family."
"Yeah, how lucky I am! Look at that bicycle, it's so impressive."
"My reputation in the village was already bad, but I was able to marry into such a good family. I don't know what good deeds I did in my previous life."
A group of people were pointing and talking. When Old Mrs. Ruan heard this, she straightened her back deliberately with a look of contempt on her face.
I put it on display on purpose to make these people envious.
Before, the whole village laughed at Lanxiang, but now they can only watch with envy.
They are all poor and broke people who will never be able to show their worth in their lives.
Aunt Hu beside her couldn't help but smack her lips in amazement, "Lanxiang is so lucky to have married into a wealthy family. She can only wait to enjoy the good life from now on."
Ruan Fu stood in the crowd, listening to the discussions and smiling slightly. If the previous rumors were correct, the best was yet to come.
After looking around, she secretly called the little boy next to her.
"Junjun, come here."
The little boy turned around to look at her and immediately smiled happily, "Sister Fu, you are looking for me."
Ruan Fu squatted down, peeled a candy with a smile, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Junjun, was Sister Fu nice to you before?"
Junjun nodded repeatedly, "Excellent."
That’s true. If Sister Fu hadn’t collected mulberry leaves before, I wouldn’t have been able to earn so much pocket money.
Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Wait a moment, do Sister Fu a favor, and this bag of candies will be all yours."
Hearing that there was candy, Junjun was a little excited, "Sister Fu, just tell me, as long as I can do it."
Ruan Fu stuffed a bag of candy into his hand and whispered a few words in his ear.
Finally, he asked, "How about it? Can you do it?"
Junjun nodded as if he understood, then looked at the bag of candy in his hand, his saliva almost flowing.
"Don't worry, Sister Fu, I will definitely complete the task."
Soon, a black car drove over from the entrance of the village.
The car stopped in front of Ruan's house, the door opened, and a man in a Zhongshan suit got out with his back to the crowd.
This should be the new son-in-law of the Ruan family.
Although I couldn't see his face clearly because of the hat, I could see that his back was hunched and his legs were unsteady, like a middle-aged man.
The people around immediately noticed something was wrong. Wasn't he a college student? He didn't look like one at all.
Ruan Lanxiang then got out of the car from the other side. She was wearing festive new clothes, but her face was cold and without a smile.
Junjun and several little boys rushed over and surrounded them.
"Give us candy, give us candy, we want candy."
When the villagers around saw the children making a fuss, they hurried to stop them.
"They're celebrating a big celebration. Why did you go and ask for candy? Come back quickly!"
The little boy was naughty, but he still had a playful smile on his face as he surrounded Ruan Lanxiang and her group.
Old Mrs. Ruan finally waited for her daughter to come back, and she didn't feel angry when she saw a group of children quarreling at the gate of the yard.
She strode out, casually throwing out a handful of candy, and scolded with a smile: "Take them all and eat them, you gluttonous ghosts."
The people around widened their eyes and clicked their tongues in amazement.
"She really married into a wealthy family, and they are very generous."
"That's right, so much candy, how much does it cost?"
Old Mrs. Ruan looked at the envious eyes of the people around her and listened to the flattering words, and suddenly felt very proud.
The children grabbed the candies and ran away. Junjun was the most mischievous one and knocked the hat of the new son-in-law off.
Now everyone was even more surprised. Not only did the new son-in-law have a hunched back, but he was also half bald on top of his head.
Just then the man turned around and everyone present gasped.
Even Ruan Fu took a half step back and pinched her thigh to stop herself from screaming.
What college student? This man looks to be in his sixties or seventies. Although his hair is black, the wrinkles and age spots on his face can't be faked.
Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why is it an old man?"
Old Mrs. Ruan didn't notice anything unusual and was still in high spirits.
Until the man bowed to her and called out, "Mom."
Mrs. Ruan's smile froze on her face. "What did you call me just now?"
She was also a little surprised at first. Lanxiang came back to visit her parents today, but her son-in-law didn't come, but her father-in-law came instead.
Could this be a Hu family custom? A sign of special regard for Lanxiang?
The old man smiled and said, "If I marry Lanxiang, doesn't that mean I have to call you mother?"
He married Lanxiang?
Old Mrs. Ruan didn't understand and glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, isn't it Hu Xianjin who got married?"
The old man didn't get angry, and patiently explained: "Hu Xianjin is my son. He is just in college. How could he get married so soon? It is me, Hu Fugui, who is getting married."
Old Mrs. Ruan looked at the person beside her in disbelief.
"Lanxiang, tell Mom this isn't true."
Ruan Lanxiang looked at her, fell to her knees with a thud, and burst into tears.
"Mom, it's true. You made a mistake and married me to an old man. It really hurt me."
Old Mrs. Ruan couldn't believe her ears.
She opened her mouth for a long time, and finally uttered, "This is impossible. Where is Sun Hongxia? Go and call her out. I need to know clearly."
Ruan Dahe looked miserable, "Mom, she ran away a long time ago, don't you remember?"
OK!
Old Mrs. Ruan finally reacted and was shaking with anger. After all this time, she realized that she had been tricked.
No wonder this woman has been so enthusiastic about it. I really thought she had a change of heart and was hoping Lanxiang would get better, but after all this time, I found out that she was helping an outsider to get married!
She just wanted to find Sun Hongxia immediately, cut her into pieces, and throw her into the wasteland to feed the dogs.
The people around also understood and the discussions gradually increased.
Many women even covered their mouths.
"What's going on? Is she going to marry this old man? At this age, no matter how much dowry he gives me, I won't marry my daughter off."
"That's right, this mother is really heartless. She was showing off in the village before. How can she be so shameless!"
Old Mrs. Ruan rolled her eyes in anger, completely oblivious to the sarcasm.
She forced herself to hold on for a while, but Hu Fugui came over with a shameless face and said, "Mom, don't worry. I will be your son in the future and will treat Lanxiang well."
Looking at his face full of wrinkles, and then looking at Ruan Lanxiang next to him with tears on her face.
Old Mrs. Ruan could no longer bear it. She howled and fell backwards.
