The couple could only put on a smile and behave themselves.
But behind the scenes, the woman, Zhao, twisted the man's arm hard.
The man gasped in pain, "What are you doing? It hurts so much."
"It hurts so much? I think you are obsessed with it. Your eyes are almost falling on me."
The man felt guilty, "What nonsense are you talking about? But then again, isn't it said that this second cousin's wife is ugly and stupid? I don't think that's the case."
She is very pretty and speaks gently. If you don’t know her, you would think she is a lady from a wealthy family.
Zhao was also puzzled, but now was not the time to discuss this.
Xia Zhiliao secretly reminded Old Lady Xia that the two men had come with ill intentions.
Old Madam Xia smiled and nodded, "Grandma knows, but today is your fourth uncle's wedding day, so it's not good to make things too ugly. If he has any bad intentions, we can talk about it later."
Xia Zhiliao understood that this only happened once in a lifetime, so it was better to go smoothly.
Xia Jinheng and Lei Jiuniang were getting married, and Old Lady Xia had a big smile on her face.
Xia Jinjun had just been busy inside and saw Feng Huaiyi. Although he had never seen the woman before, he could guess what she was from the whispers between the two.
"What is Mr. Feng doing here?" Xia Jinjun asked. He was worried that Xia Chenshi didn't recognize him, so he pointed at him.
"He said he was here to attend a wedding, but I think he was just here to get some money. Maybe he heard that our family is doing better now, otherwise why would he come now after not visiting for nearly 20 years?"
Xia Jinjun sneered, "That's what I said. Mother wanted to save face, so she let them in. If it were me... I wouldn't let them in."
"Mother doesn't want to delay important matters." Xia Chen said softly.
Feng Huaiyi on the opposite side saw Xia Jinjun and nodded to say hello with a smile, but Xia Jinjun turned his head away and ignored him.
These two people were never mentioned in the novel at all. They might have been part of a group of poor relatives who came to visit Xia Jinjun after knowing that he had become the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they were not described in detail.
After the ceremony, Lei Jiuniang was sent to the bridal chamber, and Xia Jinheng was dragged out to drink. Today he was the groom, so how could they let him go?
Xia Zhiliao used the same old trick again and asked her aunt to replace fourth uncle's wine with boiled water. As for whether it could be discovered, she was not sure.
Xia Jinxiu also found out the identity of a strange woman after she got close to her.
Zhao naturally asked people in the village and found out that this little cousin was going to open a restaurant. The key point was that this little cousin looked like a fairy.
"cousin……"
Xia Jinxiu frowned and said, "Stop it, don't scream so close, it makes me uncomfortable."
Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay. Just walk around me more and I'll call you more often, and you'll get used to it."
"What about before?" Xia Jinxiu is not someone who can be easily bullied. "We were so poor before, why didn't you come when my father left? If you had called me since I was a child, I would have been used to it by now, and I would have been very intimate with you. But now, I'm this old, and I can't get used to it anymore."
Zhao smiled bitterly, "I really didn't know about this so long ago. Ever since I got married, I have always wanted to move around, but you don't know that our old lady is the one who makes the decision, and my words don't count."
"Then find someone who keeps his word and tell me." Xia Jinxiu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Get out of the way. Don't delay my cooking. The guests are still waiting to eat!"
Zhao dodged in dismay. She finally realized that this family was not easy to deal with.
But now that I'm here, I can't just go back like this.
The Xia family's banquet was unique in the whole village, with more meat and fewer vegetables. Although the couple did not sit at the same table, they ate with their mouths full, thinking it was a pity that they could not grab some to take home.
But on second thought, they can stay for the next meal after this one.
After that, Cheng Han didn't dare to come out again, for fear of getting bumped or hurt.
Xia Zhiliao took her mother to ask Lei Jiuniang to send some food.
It wasn't the first time that Lei Jiuniang got into the sedan chair, but this time she was not as reluctant as last time. When she heard the noise, she sat up straight, looked up through the veil and saw the small embroidered shoes on the ground, and she knew who it was.
"Aunt Si, I brought you some delicious food." Xia Zhiliao put the plate on the ground. "These won't get your hands dirty. If you want to go to the toilet, I'll take you through the back door."
Lei Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh, "You are such a caring child."
The last time she got married, the Jin family had strict rules. She was hungry and held back the entire day. She felt that getting married was truly a torture.
"Fourth brother's wife, eat something quickly to fill your stomach. I'll bring you some proper food later."
"Second sister-in-law?" Lei Jiuniang smiled. This second sister-in-law was also a gentle and kind person. "Thank you very much. I'm sorry for having you troubled by our matter."
"No, we are all family. I am very happy that you are getting married. By the way, your third sister-in-law is pregnant and can't move around easily. It's the same for her."
Lei Jiuniang nodded. This second sister-in-law was really kind. She didn't take credit for herself and even remembered to mention the third sister-in-law.
"By the way, Fourth Sister-in-law, the gift you gave Zhiliao is too expensive. You should take it back. She is still a child!"
Xia Zhiliao did not hide such a big thing from his parents and told them last night.
"Second sister-in-law," Lei Jiuniang patted Xia Chen's hand and said, "I really like this child Zhiliao, and she has indeed helped me and Jinheng a lot. This is what she deserves. You should accept it steadily. I will also prepare a large dowry for this child in the future."
[Don’t wait to get married, can you give it to me now! ]
Xia Chen smiled bitterly, how could a girl be so greedy and shameless.
"I'll go outside and take a look. If there's anything, just ask Zhiliao to call me. The eldest son of my second aunt is here. We haven't been in touch for many years. Don't let anything happen."
Lei Jiuniang also sensed something was wrong, "Then go get busy."
Xia Zhiliao did not leave but stayed with Lei Jiuniang, mainly because it was too noisy outside, which she did not like, especially when the men were drinking, which was really a headache.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Lei Jiuniang shared half of the delicious food with her. The two of them ate and chatted, and they talked about the two aunts of the Xia family.
Xia Zhiliao told her everything she knew, and Lei Jiuniang nodded, "So, your intentions are not pure. Zhiliao, go out and tell the old lady that you don't have to worry about me, just treat those two people as you should, and don't let them take advantage of you."
Xia Zhiliao nodded, ran out and whispered a few words into Old Lady Xia's ear. Old Lady Xia smiled and nodded. She was indeed the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, sensible.
"Go ahead, stay with your fourth aunt and tell her that grandma knows what's going on."
Xia Zhiliao ran back again. She was quite happy to be the little messenger.
Mainly, she wanted to see how her grandmother would deal with the couple with ill intentions.
