Chapter 531 All Will Have a Happy Ending
Jiang Zhizhi slapped him again: "Can dignity feed you? If you keep your pitiful dignity, you'll really be a bachelor! Su Li is such a good girl, be careful she doesn't get snatched away by someone else."
Shang Xingzhou blushed, feeling hesitant and uneasy.
Su Li carried Shang Shang over and said, "Sister, Shang Shang seems to have grown taller and heavier. I can hardly carry her anymore."
After saying that, she noticed Shang Xingzhou's face was red and exclaimed, "Shang Xingzhou, why is your face so red? Are you lying?"
Shang Xingzhou waved his hand: "No, no, I was just talking to my sister. Go play somewhere else."
Su Li snorted and started playing with Shang Shang again, teasing her while asking Jiang Zhizhi, "Sister, can I be Shang Shang's teacher? I can teach her how to catch snakes and poisonous insects, and I can also teach her how to make Gu."
Jiang Zhizhi now understands Su Li's background, and having been by Shang Xingzhou's side for the past two years, she is indeed a simple-minded girl.
He smiled and said, "It would be great if Shangshang could be your apprentice, but you still need to be careful. She's so young and doesn't know her own strength. She might scare the kindergarten kids."
Su Li waved her hand: "Haha, no, no, I definitely won't teach her anything too difficult."
He then picked up Shangshang with one arm and spun her around for a while. After that, he picked her up again and said, "Come on, let's see what your master brought you. By the way, Shangshang, you can't call me 'sister' or 'auntie' anymore. You have to call me 'master,' understand?"
Shang Shang nodded. Although she didn't know what "master" meant, she would call him that since her aunt liked it.
She called out sweetly, "Master, what did you bring me?"
Su Li chuckled, picked up Shang Shang, and took out two small black bottles from her bag: "There are two little bugs in here. Just feed them a little rice every day."
"Of course, you can feed it meat if you have meat. This little bug is very obedient and can detoxify all kinds of poisons."
Shang Shang didn't quite understand what it meant to be able to cure all kinds of poisons, but she was very interested in the insects: "Let me see, let me see."
Su Li poured the insect into her palm. It was only about half the size of Shang Shang's little finger, white and round, like an adult silkworm, but a little shorter.
Shang Xingzhou, watching from the side, burst out laughing: "Isn't this just a silkworm? It can even cure all poisons?"
Su Li rolled her eyes: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is a gift I gave to Shang Shang. I stole it from my grandmother."
Shang Shang was delighted. She opened her little palm and let Su Li place the baby insect in her hand, her eyes shining brightly: "Wow, what a beautiful baby insect! I love it so much!"
Fang Hua, watching from the side, was alarmed: "Su Li, is this insect poisonous?"
Su Li waved her hand: "No, don't worry, this insect is not poisonous and is very easy to raise."
Fang Hua was also worried: "These things are so small, if they fall on the ground, they might be stepped on and killed. Shang Shang and the others don't know their own strength when playing with them, so they might kill themselves."
Su Li shook her head with a laugh: "It's alright, it's alright. This bug is very good at protecting itself; it likes to sleep in the bottle when it's not busy."
Then he instructed Shangshang, "Don't let others play with these. They are your precious possessions and will protect you."
Shangshang stared at the silkworm in her palm with starry eyes, occasionally letting out a "Wow!" in amazement.
I'm so fond of this white bug that I look at it even while eating and sleeping.
Bian Suxi has started urging Shang Xingzhou and Su Li to get married as soon as possible.
At the dinner table, in front of everyone, he urged Shang Xingzhou again: "Let me tell you, if you don't get married soon, you'll be a scoundrel."
Shang Xingzhou frowned and muttered under his breath, "How did I act like a hooligan?"
Bian Suxi decided to give her son some face and whispered in his ear, "Have you and Su Li already had sex?"
Shang Xingzhou was surprised that his mother asked such a question right away, and he almost spat out the soup in his mouth.
He blushed and remained silent.
That wasn't his intention; he was forced by Su Li!
Su Li's reason was to check and see if the antidote was effective.
His resistance was useless; Su Li would drug him.
Bian Suxi looked at her son's expression and said, "I knew it: So, you're a man, you have to take responsibility."
The merchants on the island didn't dare to raise their heads, letting Bian Suxi ridicule them.
Su Li asked curiously, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Why is Shang Xingzhou's face so red?"
Bian Suxi smiled lovingly: "I'm saying, you and Xingzhou, shouldn't you get married?"
Su Li nodded without hesitation: "Okay, will our family provide a bride price?"
Bian Suxi was stunned for a moment, somewhat taken aback: "When you get married, it's the groom's family who pays the bride price."
Su Li frowned, as if the question was difficult to understand, and thought about it seriously: "It is I who will marry Shang Xingzhou."
Bian Suxi was taken aback again and looked at Jiang Zhizhi: "Does Su Li mean that we, Xingzhou, should marry into the family?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
She also knew that Su Li's hometown still retained the custom of walking marriage, and that marrying a man was probably a custom there as well.
Now, Bian Suxi was at a loss. She only had one son, how could she let him marry into her family?
She quickly turned to look at Shang Shiyi: "What do you think?"
Shang Shiyi was peeling an orange for Shang Shang. Regarding his son, he had no opinion: "Let him be. As long as he's happy."
Bian Suxi was still somewhat troubled.
Shang Shiyi was quite open-minded: "It doesn't matter who marries whom, they won't live in Beijing or Yunnan. They'll probably settle in the south in the end."
"What difference does this make to us?"
Hearing this, Bian Suxi understood and nodded, "You're right."
He then pushed Shang Xingzhou, saying, "Alright, let's hurry up and find a date. How about the 28th?"
Shang Xingzhou was shocked: "Mom, the day after tomorrow is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Even if we took a rocket, we wouldn't make it in time."
Bian Suxi thought about it and agreed. There were still many things that hadn't been prepared, and they couldn't prepare everything in just one day.
Then he thought of another date: "The eighth day of the first lunar month, is that alright?"
Before Shang Xingzhou could speak, Su Li nodded: "Okay, the eighth day is fine."
Bian Suxi was overjoyed; with just one meal, Shang Xingzhou's marriage was settled.
Jiang Zhizhi was a little shocked. Looking at Su Li, who was happily eating, and then at Shang Xingzhou, she thought, "This is a bit hasty."
Shang Xingzhou was somewhat bewildered; his opinion didn't seem to matter that much.
Bian Suxi then asked Su Li, "Your parents definitely won't be able to come to the wedding. How about we have Xingzhou go back with you then?"
Su Li had no objection: "Sure, my parents, grandma, and maternal grandma all like him very much. We don't have such a fair-skinned young man where we're from."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Su Li's confident and generous demeanor, and then at Shang Xingzhou's hesitant and coy manner, they really did seem like the ones who were about to be married off...
But I'm also very happy, there's more good news in the family...
