Chapter 43 Who can't play the victim?
Han filled the table in the main hall with steamed buns as if she were presenting treasures. When she counted them carefully, there were thirty-six, which was an auspicious number.
Seeing so many plump white buns, Su Chunlin's depression that had been suppressed for a day instantly dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face, "She is worthy of being my daughter, she is so capable!"
Su Tai was a little embarrassed to be praised in front of Shen Yi, and asked hurriedly: "Dad, what did the town official say?"
Su Chunlin sat down and drank a large bowl of water. "The Sang Yong family insisted that we emptied their house. The town official asked them what was missing, and the Sang family said that the bed, cabinet, and grain jar were all gone.
Listen, isn't this a joke? With such a large object and so many people in Sangjia Village, dozens of eyes staring at us, if we really had the ability to move the object away, would we have to fight with them like that?
The town official's face turned green. He asked Sang Yong three times, but he refused to change his words. Brother Changfu felt sorry for the family and suggested that they hire a doctor to see if they had been beaten stupidly.
Later, Mr. Ma came and insisted that the town magistrate should seek justice for the Sang family. The town magistrate calmly told people to go to the county town to report to the authorities. The yamen runners would come tomorrow. Anyway, we are innocent. I want to see how the Sang family can make trouble again!"
Su Tai raised the corners of her mouth slightly and exchanged glances with Shen Yi, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as the midnight arrives.
Su Chunlin walked in front carrying things on his shoulders, followed by Han, and then came Su Zhan, Su Ming, Chen Yi and Su Tai. The group wore new clothes and walked in the wind and snow to the bridal chamber, passed the fire basin, worshipped the gods, and set off firecrackers.
As soon as the door was closed, the whole family suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Everyone smiled at each other, said a few auspicious words to each other, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
There are two rows of houses in the front yard of the Su family's new house. One row is used as a kitchen, firewood room, water boiler and bathing room, and there is an empty room. The four side rooms in the opposite row are used to entertain guests, and Shen Yi lives in one of them.
Everything in the room, from the bed to the stools, cabinets and bedding, is brand new.
As soon as Shen Yi lay down, he fell into a deep sleep.
As soon as it got light, Han went to the old house to prepare food for today's banquet.
Farmers don't have so many requirements. They just use ordinary wine for the banquet, a jar of which costs fifty cents, and they also put a basket of cakes, wild vegetables, egg drop soup, and if conditions permit, some chicken or duck meat, which is considered very decent.
Han couldn't bear to part with the white flour buns from yesterday, so she made some coarse flour cakes. There were no chickens or ducks at home, so the meat she used was the two wild rabbits and pheasants that Shen Yi sent, which was considered a makeshift meal.
While they were busy, women from the village came one after another to help.
When Han saw Su Yan's aunt Tao, she asked about what happened yesterday.
Tao sighed, "The Sang family has ulterior motives. The child's father went to inquire and was told that the Sang family wanted to get engaged to us because of our village's water source. Later, it rained and the drought eased, so they looked down on this marriage and wanted to cancel it. I don't know how Sang Yong found out that our family bought the same grain as yours, and he came to set the date for the wedding. He wanted the grain, and he also said that we are relatives now and should help each other in the future.
Bah! Yan'er hasn't married yet, and we haven't seen any benefits yet, yet you dare to ask for it shamelessly. At that time, my uncle didn't agree, and my wife pretended not to hear it. I guess Sang Yong had said it long ago, but he didn't expect us to listen, so she got angry and humiliated Yan'er.
Poor girl, she refused to eat or drink after I brought her home yesterday. Her mother cried all night and stayed by her side, not daring to go out. I came here to help for a while, and I will go check on her later."
"Oh! Then you go quickly. I have a lot of people to help me here, so it won't be a problem!" Han swiftly took out a rattan basket, filled it with some cakes and soups, and asked Tao to take it back to Huang.
Tao didn't act pretentiously. She picked up her things and turned to leave.
Su Tai waited until she finished her housework before going to see Su Yan.
Huang saw her tears falling, sobbing, "Xiao Tai, go and persuade your sister Yan, she hasn't eaten since she came back yesterday. Damn Sang Rong, if anything happens to my daughter, I will die with them!"
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go in and take a look." Su Tai comforted Huang and walked straight into Su Yan's room.
Su Yan was curled up on the bed with her back to her, motionless.
Su Tai sighed silently and sat down on the bed. "Sister Yan, I know you are not asleep. Can we talk? Will you blame me for how I treated Sang Rong yesterday?"
Su Yan shook her head slightly.
Su Tai immediately smiled, "Since you don't blame me, do you also know that he is not a good man?"
Su Yan turned over and sat up, her hair was messy and her lips were chapped.
Su Tai hurriedly handed her a bowl of water.
She took a sip and whispered in a hoarse voice, "I just can't understand it. He really saved me, really cared about me, and really asked to marry me. In my heart he was so perfect, how come everything changed so suddenly!
Yesterday, he complained to me in front of me that I was ignorant and refused to prepare a dowry according to his father's wishes. I suddenly felt that the person in front of me became so strange, so strange that it made me feel cold all over. The funny thing is that he was my lifesaver and the person I wanted to marry with all my heart. "
Su Tai hugged her silently and comforted her, "You've cried enough. No matter how sad the matter is, it won't be a big deal tomorrow. Besides, the Sang family is at fault. They're planning to give you your dowry before you even marry into their family. Would you dare to marry into such a family even if they really saved your life?"
"I" Su Yan lowered her head tiredly.
Su Tai continued to persuade him, "Besides, I have also asked, that snake can't take your life at all. Even if Sang Rong doesn't show up, I will hear you if you shout a few more times, and I will still save you. Anyway, you won't die.
As the old saying goes, a blessed girl will not marry an unlucky man. This marriage is ruined, so let your uncle and aunt find you a better husband in the future."
Huang, who was eavesdropping outside the door, immediately showed up with a pleading smile on her face, "Yes, yes, Xiaotai is right, Dad and Mom will definitely find you a husband who is a hundred times better than Sang Rong. It's no pity if a man like him is gone! Let's eat something, okay?"
Su Yan wanted to refuse, but Su Tai gently pulled her hand and she nodded in agreement.
Su Tai left only after Su Yan had eaten.
Huang was so grateful that she wanted to send her home.
Su Tai returned home and found that her grandfather's family had also come and were talking to Shen Yi. When she heard them talking about grain seeds and something, she probably knew what her grandfather was talking about. She made eye contact with Shen Yi, and Shen Yi immediately agreed readily.
Han's face showed an expression of pride.
After a while, the officers came, the same two from last time.
Because their family was having a wedding banquet, the two of them sat down as well, with a fairly gentle attitude.
