Chapter 68 The jealous chatterbox
Xiong Kai hid in the bustling crowd, silently paying attention to everything happening in the Su family, subconsciously clenching his fists.
He was supposed to go to the town to find a job today, but on the way he heard that Su Chunlin's family in Dongmen Village was holding a wedding, so he came here for some unknown reason.
The first time he saw the Su family's large courtyard, he was filled with jealousy. Then, when he saw Shen Yi using an eight-man sedan chair to pick up the bride, he felt ashamed and angry as if he had been slapped in the face. However, what made him most uncomfortable was the dowry that the Su family prepared for Su Tai.
When Mo Chunxiang married him, the dowry she brought in was just one or two taels of silver and some worthless things, which was not even a fraction of Su Tai's dowry.
At this moment, he regretted standing here very much. Hearing these words, if he had not been angry and broke off the engagement, would these things be his? He would not be laughed at by the villagers behind his back for being unlucky, nor would he have to think for a long time before speaking in front of his wife because of the consideration of Yue's family.
Just as Ke Zhengping was about to enter the door, he saw Xiong Kai standing beside him and their eyes met.
Ke Zhengping greeted warmly: "You are here for the wedding banquet, come in and take a seat."
Xiong Kai pursed his lips, turned around and left quickly.
Ke Zhengping felt confused and told Su Chunlin about it.
Based on Ke Zhengping's description, Su Chunlin roughly guessed that the man was Xiong Kai. He curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically and told Ke Zhengping not to worry about it.
The wedding procession walked for most of the day and finally arrived at Shenjiazhuang before dusk.
Xu and Shen Zhuang were already outside Shen Yi's new house greeting the guests. When they heard the noise, Liu Ang and his men ran forward together.
Xu pinched Chen Zhuang excitedly, "She's back! She's back!"
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the cows and sheep in front of the wedding procession, and was overjoyed. "Dad, the Su family is really generous. They actually gave their daughter a dowry of cows and sheep. Even the rich families in the nearby town don't have such a grand ceremony when marrying off their daughters!"
Before, she spread the news about Su Tai's dowry, and the villagers said she was daydreaming. Today they came here specially to see the joke. Now she wants to see who is the joke.
When the cattle and sheep were led into Shen Yi's house.
The villagers were really dumbfounded.
The gossipy woman shouted in an exaggerated voice: "The Su family really gave their daughter a dowry of cattle and sheep? Are they crazy? They are really a money-loser!"
Then she angrily scolded her daughter-in-law next to her, "The Su family doesn't have an old man to keep them under control, and the couple are extremely stupid. We can't let them learn from them!"
Mao, who was on good terms with Xu, couldn't help but retort, "Aunt Cuihua, don't curse people just because you're jealous. The Su family is rich, so what's wrong with giving their daughter a dowry of cattle and sheep? It means that Su is favored by her natal family, and her husband's family also benefits from it. Even if you want to learn, you have to have that kind of family background!"
Aunt Cuihua rolled her eyes at Mao and snorted, "Even if I have mountains of gold and silver, I won't let outsiders get them for free! Only you treat a money-losing commodity as a treasure!"
Xu who was walking over didn't like what she heard, and cursed with a cold face: "How interesting! You curse yourself, and I don't know who is really stupid."
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean? Don't think you're in heaven just because your nephew married a rich niece-in-law!" Aunt Cuihua put her hands on her hips and cursed.
Xu was not someone to be trifled with. She raised her chin with pride, her nose pointed at her, and said in a smug and arrogant manner, "I am proud, I am showing off, I am happy, I am just thinking about the sky, so what! You old bastard! If you want to fight, then fight! Don't think I am afraid of you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Aunt Cuihua and her daughters-in-law quietly retreated.
Aunt Cuihua was so angry that she fell backwards, only to find that it was other women in the village who caught her. Her daughters-in-law had already run away without a trace. She sat on the ground and wailed.
Xu's face immediately darkened and she roared, "Mr. Chen, call a few people to come and carry this old man away. It's bad luck!"
Aunt Cuihua was shocked, "Xu! How dare you!"
"Do you think I dare?" Xu rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Aunt Cuihua. Her decisive look scared Aunt Cuihua so much that she turned over nimbly, got up from the ground and walked away.
He kept cursing as he ran.
Mao stepped forward and grabbed Xu, "Alright, she's already run away, don't bother with her, let's go in quickly, the bride and groom are going to get married."
Su Tai, who was in the main room, vaguely heard the quarrel outside, but did not move because of her status as a bride.
After a while, it was quiet outside. Xu came in with a smile and said to the matchmaker, "It's the auspicious time. We can start now!"
The matchmaker hurried forward and shouted loudly: "The newlyweds are coming to the wedding!"
After some trouble, Su Tai was led by Shen Yi into the new house.
They took the veil and drank the wedding wine.
The two looked at each other, then tacitly looked away, their cheeks flushed.
From today on, they are a legitimate couple in the eyes of the world.
After everyone left, Chen Yi gently said to Su Tai, "I asked my second aunt to make you some steamed egg custard and white flour buns. Eat some first to fill your stomach. I will have someone send you some food after the banquet starts. If you feel that the jewelry on your body is cumbersome, take it off first."
Su Tai nodded quickly, "I also want some hot water to remove my makeup."
God knows how eager she was to remove her makeup; the ancient lead powder was really unbearable.
"Okay! I'll prepare it for you right away." Shen Yi carefully checked the house, closed the door, and left quickly.
Su Tai immediately sat down in front of the dressing table and took off her hairpin.
Only when I felt relieved did I have the energy to take a closer look at my new house.
The room was not small. It contained a two-meter-long step-out bed, a large round table, an eight-fold cabinet, and her dressing table, but it did not seem crowded. What made her happy was that there was a small screen next to the cabinet. Behind the screen was a toilet for getting up at night, which avoided the embarrassment of going to the toilet and did not have to worry about the smell of urine. The planning was very reasonable.
The more Su Tai looked at it, the more satisfied she became, with a smile on her lips.
Soon, Shen Yi personally brought over two large wooden barrels of hot water and gave some instructions before leaving.
By the time she had washed and filled her stomach, it was already dark.
Shen Yi also came back at this time.
Seeing that he was a little drunk, Su Tai hurriedly helped him to bed, took off his shoes and coat, and washed his face.
In this busy life, she also put aside the tension of her newlywed life.
After finally packing up, she tiptoed to the bed for fear of waking up Shen Yi. As soon as she lay down, the sleeping man next to her suddenly turned over and pressed on her with lightning speed.
Su Tai was sealed before she could even scream.
The red candles are swaying, and the room is full of charming spring scenery.
The next day, when Su Tai opened his eyes, he was still a little confused about where he was. He saw Shen Yi smiling at him and then he realized what was going on. He suddenly turned over and sat up, "What time is it?"
"It's just past the hour of Chen." Chen Yi got up and said lovingly, "There are no elders in our family. You can sleep as long as you want in the future. Don't worry about being scolded by the elders. I'll take you to burn incense for my parents later."
Su Tai relaxed completely and smiled.
Married life without parents-in-law is so great!
