Chapter 98 The Noisy Cuilan
Su Chuan looked at her throwing a tantrum indifferently without saying a word. When Cui Lan got tired of scolding him, he turned around and left.
Cuilan was furious, "Su Chuan! Are you deaf when I talk to you? I really don't know what the young master likes about you! You are a blockhead!"
This time Su Chuan did not stop and went straight to the main hall in the front yard.
Su Chunlin and the others felt a little embarrassed.
"Ah Chuan! I'm sorry about that! The conditions in our village are like this. If my niece-in-law is unhappy, I'll send her to town later. But today is New Year's Eve, so I'm afraid the inn will be closed."
Su Chuan apologized to Su Chunlin guiltily, "Second Uncle, you don't need to worry about Cuilan's affairs. She has her own troubles, and we live our own lives. Don't pay attention to her."
"Ah?" Su Chunlin opened his mouth in shock.
Su Zhan and the other two were also confused.
After a while, Su Chunsen and Wan came out from the backyard. Su Chunlin quickly put these things behind him and started chatting with Su Chunsen.
Wan went to the kitchen to help Han.
Han lowered her voice and said like a thief: "Sister-in-law, who is the background of this wife that Ah Chuan married? Why is she so angry?"
Wan pursed her lips and said indifferently, "She is the maidservant of the eldest young master's wife. She is a servant of the Zhu family. She thinks highly of herself. You don't need to care about her."
Before, she thought that the marriage suggested by Mrs. Bai was a good one and would be a great help to Su Chuan. However, she didn't know that Cui Lan, who seemed sweet and capable on weekdays, would turn hostile to Su Chuan as soon as she married him. She treated her with indifference and even looked down on her father-in-law who was a groom.
It would have been fine if she didn't treat them well on weekdays, she also treated Su Chuan as a guest at her request and dismissed him at her will, but her good-tempered son was always humble.
So what if the lady arranged the marriage? Such a woman is not worthy of her son at all. I don’t know what sin their family has committed to have such an unpleasant thing happen to them.
As soon as Han heard this, she knew that Wan was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. She didn't want to bring bad luck to her, so she stopped mentioning Cuilan and turned around to kill a fish and braise it.
When Wan saw the fish, her eyes lit up instantly, "Wow! You actually bought such a big fish? It's not cheap!"
"No way! These are given by my son-in-law." Han smiled very proudly, "He is a river ferryman, good at swimming, and better at catching fish than others. This winter, I made a lot of money by helping him sell fish!"
Wan was very envious, "You guys are really lucky, you have everything you need to eat and wear, and all the money you earn is your own, unlike us."
After saying this, Wan sighed and said nothing more.
Han was also feeling uncomfortable, so she changed the topic to Su Yu, "Xiao Yu is going to give birth in the spring, and everyone will be busy at that time, so I guess we have to arrange someone to take care of her in advance."
Wan paused, wanting to take care of her daughter, but knowing that it was just wishful thinking, she frowned and asked, "Is there no one at her husband's house who can help?"
Mrs. Han looked helpless. "Everyone is busy with spring ploughing. Even children of five or six years old have to go to the fields to help. Before, Xiaoyu's sister-in-law was still unmarried and could help, but before the New Year, the child got married and there is no one to help from the man's side. Both the couple have to go to the fields, so they probably won't be able to take care of us. Xiaotai's situation is similar and she can't take care of us.
But taking care of her is not the most important thing. The key is the confinement. In the spring, the food stored in every household is almost gone. I don’t know if Shen Yi will be able to catch fish by then.”
Mrs. Wan was anxious at the moment. "I will go over there tomorrow and ask Xiaoyu. If it is not possible, send her to the county in advance. I can also arrange someone to take care of her temporarily. I can also go out of the house to see her often when I have time."
As they were talking, Han's fish was ready, and all she needed to do was heat up the chicken soup and steamed buns.
The two sisters-in-law brought the dishes to the table.
The man also opened the wine jar.
Han asked Ruan Xiaoyu to call Cuilan out for dinner.
A quarter of an hour later, Cuilan finally arrived.
As soon as he entered the room, he covered his nose in disgust, "Why does it smell like alcohol? And fish!"
After saying this, she saw the wine jar and the braised fish on the table, and her chest heaved violently with anger. "I'm pregnant, don't you know that pregnant women can't stand fishy things? Fish and wine, are you really going against me?"
"Enough! Is it never over? If you don't want to eat, get out! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a piece of meat in your stomach. This is Dongmen Village, not a place where you can act wild!" Wan threw her chopsticks down after being unable to bear it any longer.
Cuilan held her stomach and pointed at Su Chuan angrily, yelling, "Your mother treated me like this, and you can't even fart? Are you still a man?"
Su Chuan still kept silent and stayed out of the matter.
Cuilan was furious. "Good job! I wonder why your family had to go back to this broken village. It seems you just want to intimidate me! Don't think I can do nothing just because you brought me to this hellhole! Just wait for me!"
After putting it down quickly, Cuilan rushed back to the backyard, picked up her bag and walked out aggressively.
Han was anxious. "Ah Chuan, go and try to persuade her. It's freezing cold outside and it's pitch black. She doesn't know the place well and it's not safe for her to go out!"
Wan held Han and took a few deep breaths before calming down. "Don't pay attention to her. You should teach her a lesson to prevent her from becoming more and more lawless."
Su Chuan smiled gently and said slowly, "Second Aunt, my mother is right. Cuilan is getting more and more irritable now. She doesn't take our whole family seriously at all. It's better to leave her alone. Don't worry. We just passed Moshi Town on the way back and met Shi Liu, the maid in the mansion.
Shi Liu was married to the Ma family in town with Miss Rong, the concubine of the mansion. She asked us to send a letter back and invited us to visit the Ma family. If Cui Lan didn't come back, she would have gone to look for Shi Liu. After all, the conditions of the Ma family in town are better than those in the village. With her temper, she would have been impatient to stay. "
Han was relieved then, and then she became deeply displeased with Cuilan. However, she was from a different room after all, and she didn't get along well with the first room on weekdays, so it was not right for her to interfere.
Su Chunlin quickly warmed up the atmosphere, "Come on, come on, let's drink and eat, and set off fireworks later, so that our family can have a good time!"
Su Chunsen started eating, and the others also sat down. No one paid any attention to the willful Cuilan anymore.
Cuilan walked in the snow with her bag, cursing all the way. By the time she reached the town, she was so tired that she could hardly hold on any longer and struggled to find Ma's house.
Shi Liu had just finished serving his master and was very surprised to hear Cui Lan came looking for him. He quickly led her to his room.
"Aren't you going back to Dongmen Village with your in-laws to celebrate the New Year? Why are you here alone?"
Facing Shi Liu's question, Cui Lan poured out all her grievances, "The whole family dislikes me and despises me! I just complained a few words, and my mother-in-law scolded me and kicked me out! Woo woo woo"
