Chapter 78 Su Yan's Marriage
Han came out in a hurry, pulling at the edge of her shoes as she ran, "Wow! Peanut oil was added? I heard that this stuff is very fragrant, but I didn't get to try it!"
The corners of Shen Yi's mouth gradually widened, "Mother-in-law, Xiao Tai asked me to leave you 20 kilograms of peanut oil and 20 kilograms of soybean oil. You can boldly use them when cooking and making pancakes. It will be very fragrant."
Han opened it and smelled it, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "It smells really good! I'm so drunk with the smell! This stuff is not cheap! Why did you send us 20 kilograms at once? We don't need this little money. Father, you have to give the money to your son-in-law later, or outsiders will gossip about it!"
Shen Yi was anxious, “No, no, Xiaotai said she would give you food.”
Han pretended to be angry, "If you don't accept the money, I won't take your things in the future! Really. How can a married girl always move things to her parents' home? Those who know you will say that you are filial, and those who don't will definitely say that we are taking advantage of our son-in-law! Even if you don't think about yourselves, you have to think about us, right!"
Han's long lecture left Shen Yi unable to refute and he could only hang his head and obey.
Now Han was satisfied and asked Shen Yi to help get the oil to the warehouse.
Soon Su Changfu and Su Changxi came with their wives, and more people came in one after another.
Su Chunlin kept shouting at the side, "I'm telling you, this peanut oil is really fragrant! No wonder it's sold for 160 wen per pound in town without bargaining. Let me tell you, my son-in-law sells it for 5 wen per pound cheaper. There will be no such shop after this village."
Su Changxi scratched his ears, speechless, "You've said this eight hundred times! Even if we can't trust you, we can't distrust Shen Yi! He is the great benefactor of our village."
Su Chunlin was choked and stared blankly.
Everyone laughed.
Su Changxi was smooth, and he moved out the oil bottles and half-sized wine jars at home, "Chen Yi, fill them all up for me, uncle won't owe you a penny."
Han gasped, "Why did your family buy so much oil?"
Su Changxi chuckled, raised his chin and said proudly, "Our Yan'er's marriage has been decided. She will get married before the New Year."
"Huh? When did it happen?" Han looked at Huang in shock.
Huang explained with a look of joy, "It was Song Yongnian who settled in our village with the Ye family. Have you forgotten him? He was the tall and thin boy who looked like he didn't have any flesh on his body."
Han racked his brains and finally figured out who Song Yongnian was.
Some of those who fled to their village that year had no place to belong and squeezed into their old house with the Ye siblings. After the spring, the man with his daughter married one of the sisters-in-law. The two of them and their three children formed a new family and moved to an abandoned house in the village.
Another woman married a widower in the village with her son, leaving behind five siblings and a teenager from the Ye family.
The young man had no relationship with the Ye siblings, but fearing that he would affect the reputation of the Ye sisters, he also moved away. It was said that he built a thatched hut in the village to make ends meet. As it was quite far from Su Chunlin's home, Han never met him again and forgot about this person.
"Why do you want to marry Yan'er to him?" Han was very puzzled.
In her opinion, although Su Yan was rejected by the Sang family, she was still the most beloved daughter of the village chief. In the past two years, Su Changxi had also made a lot of money and had a rich family background. It was impossible for him to find any other family for Su Yan. Why did he have to choose an orphan like this?
Huang smiled and said to everyone, "Of course it's because Song Yongnian has a good character. You don't know if you haven't met him. My husband is the village chief. Everyone in the village has to pay attention to him. He has been observing him for two years.
Song Yongnian was a self-disciplined and hard-working boy. He was penniless when he settled down, but he managed the three acres of wasteland in good order by himself. In the past two years, he also saved some money. During the autumn harvest, he bought another three acres of wasteland, three acres of dry land, and three acres of sandy land, and built a house with everyone.
My wife went to help, and seeing how Song Yongnian had built up all this wealth from scratch, she thought he was trustworthy, and the most important thing was your little Tai."
"My little Tai?" Han seemed to understand and glanced at Shen Yi.
Huang's smile deepened, "Yes, it is Chen Yi. Chen Yi has a good temper, is steady and responsible, and is very capable. Xiao Tai will be happy with everything after marrying him. You were worried that Xiao Tai would have a hard time without her parents-in-law to help her, but it turns out that she lives comfortably and freely. She is the head of the family after marriage. How can Yan'er's father not be moved?"
It is said that after many years of being a daughter-in-law, she will eventually become a mother-in-law, but if possible, who would be willing to endure this pain?
They love their daughter and naturally hope that everything will go well for her in the future without her having to suffer.
Su Changxi smiled innocently and praised Shen Yi again.
Su Chunlin and Han both looked proud of it.
Shen Yi poured a five-jin bucket of peanut oil into the oil pot and wine jar of Su Changxi's house, and reminded him, "Uncle, take it. The total is seven hundred and seventy-five coins."
The villagers nearby kept staring at Shen Yi pouring the oil. Seeing that the peanut oil was rich and fragrant without any impurities, they immediately rushed to let Shen Yi pour the oil.
Seeing that his younger brother bought so much, Su Changfu also asked for five kilograms.
It’s not that there’s a happy event in his family, but as the village chief, people often come to his house, and some of them have to be entertained with good wine and food. Naturally, the oil in the house is consumed quickly. It’s not easy to buy cheaper peanut oil, so naturally he can’t miss it.
The township head and the village head bought so much, and other villagers also clamored for two or three kilograms. However, in two hours, the one hundred kilograms of peanut oil that Shen Yi brought were all gone, and fifty kilograms of soybean oil were sold, leaving only ten kilograms.
Just as Shen Yi was about to pack up and go back, the three brothers Ye An also arrived.
They each held an oil bottle and looked a little nervous.
Han said hurriedly, "The peanut oil is gone, and there are only ten kilograms of soybean oil left."
Ye An interrupted awkwardly, "Aunt, it's okay, we just need soybean oil."
"Yes, yes, soybean oil will do." Brother Ye An said hurriedly.
"How much do you want?" Shen Yi opened the lid and poured the oil.
The three brothers of the Ye family looked at each other and said in unison: "We want both."
Han: ".Why did the three of you buy so much oil?"
Under Han's questioning, Ye An had to confess honestly, "Brother Song asked us to help. He just went into the mountains to look at condoms, and later he has to go to town to buy materials for the wedding, so he really doesn't have time."
"It's not safe to go into the mountains on such a snowy day." Han shook her head and had a new understanding of Song Yongnian's "desperateness".
Ye An smiled awkwardly and said, "I knew you guys didn't agree, so Brother Song wouldn't let us tell the truth."
Just as Shen Yi finished filling the remaining oil for them, a strange man ran in hurriedly, panting and asking, "Is the village chief here?"
"No! I went back early." Shen Yi replied.
Song Yongnian slapped his thigh, looking anxious, "Oh no! Wild boars have entered the village. Don't go out yet. I'll go find the village chief."
